BURNING THE BREEZE
ARRESTED ON A
SERIOUS CHARGE

The Star regrets that Jack Gallo
way has been arrested on the charge
of breaking and entering and that
the evidence against him is strong.
When the little export lunch
room in the southeast corner of the
Ocala House opened for business Mon
day morning, it was found that it had
been entered during the night, the
cash register broken into and also the
Salvation Army card cut open. About
SIS had been taken from the register
and perhaps three or four dollars
from the card.
Marshal Gordon was called in, and
after looking around found evidence
that he thought led toward Galloway
and following it found enough to JUS
tify him in arresting the young man
Jack had been seen near the place
the night before. Part of the money
taken was in dollar bills. very old and
worn. And the party who broke open
the card had slightly cut his fingers
leaving blood on the card.
The marshal went to Jacks board
ing house, and found he had paid his
landlady some money but a short
time before. Jack was out, but the
marshal went to his room and found
there his khaki pants, which he had
thrown aside quite recently. There
were bloodstains on the pants, as tho
they had been sprinkled there from .
slight cut, without the knowledge OF
the wearer.
Following the trail. Mr.. Gordon
soon found store where Jack had
made some purchases and in return
had given some old and tattered dol
lar bills, like those taken from the
cash register.
Jack was arrested and is now ii
custody, but the time of his hearing
has not been set. He has many
friends here, all of whom are sorry he
is in such a predicament, and will be
glad to have him prove himself IN

Letter From the Lone Star
State.
Star

Since my last writing was panied
to learn of the death of two Edgefeld
citizens, one a near relative, B. T.
Faulkner, the other one, Willie Still,
a boyhood companion and friend. He
was son of James Still, strong
friend of my father, and for one to
know him could not wonder at Willie
being called a good man. So 1 can
but offer my sympathy to the bereav-
ed ones. In my previous write ups
concerning my trip last summer, L
spoke of the dear ones whom l missed
from the common walks of life passed
over to the far beyond. Thep of those
whom met with and their many
kindnesses to me. Now, I'll speak of
the dear old county, my native land.
l love it stronger than any other
part of the globe that 1 ever knew,
and it pains me to know that it has
passed from good to worse and can't
bring forth sustaining yield without
commercial help. This is but natural,
and no surprise when well thought of.
So is man, when he comes forth as a
bud in springtime, grows into man.
hood and usefulness, then often out
lives his days of usefulness and lives
into dotage, worn out and has to be
helped. When all this is realized, what
thankful beings we ought to be.
Now, just word to the rising gen.
Grafton of the dear old home state.
There is part (and large one too,)
of Gods country in the state of Tex
as that has never budded into useful
ness. Come and see. Springtime is
now on and the tillers of the soil are
getting ready for another crop, but
things generally are in an unsettled
condition, very little encouragement
to farming, yet if farming stops the
world suffers, so let us realize that
inasnluch as we know that takes the
combined efforts Of heaven and earth
for the mother earth to bring forth
its proper yield, so it takes the COM
bined efforts of every human being
that lives to make the world better,
to lend his best efforts to the main
substance and sustenance of life.
Now in conclusion let me say that
this section has a fine planting sea-
son in the ground, and the prospects
are bright for a crop now. l bow my
head and tip my hat and say good
wishes and Gods blessings upon all
who may read these lines.

Shipping Sweet Potatoes Out
of South Carolina.

Clemson College, March "a
South Carolina is nov becoming
known in the sweet potato markets of
the country, and the Extension Ser
vice marketing agents are giving
their time and efforts toward send
ing out graded product and that
we'll packed, ventilated and loaded
for either a short or long haul.
To date this season sixteen cars of
sweet potatoes have moved out of
this state to Eastern, Northern and
Western markets. Some of these have
gone as far west as the state of Iowa,
and several have gone to points in
New York state, reports F. L.. Hark-
ey, Extension market agent.
Most of these shipments have been
made by members of the South Caro-
lima Sweet Potato Association and
have been sold by the Southern States
Produce Distributing Company, Co.
lumbia, S. c., which company has
signed sales contract with the Sweet
Potato Association. Potatoes shipped
by members of the Association bear
the brand "Sugarspuds, South Caro-
lima Sweet Potato Association, main
office, Florence, S. c."
The grading and leading of one or
more cars at each shipping point has
been made demonstration of proper
grading and loading by an Extension
Service market agent, and in sever
al instances a great saving has been
effected for the shipper.
Sweet potatoes are very perish
able product and have never received
in this state the proper handling to
which they are entitled, since they
had not been shipped from this state
in car lots until last season. 1t is there
fore necessary that every shipper
make use of the experience and as
sistance offered by the Extension Ser
vice of Clemson College.
