Tuesday, September 6, 1921.

The dry hot weather for the past
few days, and in fact we might say
weeks, has caused great damage to
the cotton and pea crop, ard almost
all other crocs in this section. 1t is
claimed, and we suppose correctly,
that the not weather is not favorable
to the boil weevil, and we have heard
scme Of the farmers say that the
grub in some shapes and bolls they
had seen had dried UP, and therefore
could not germinate, but it is too
late to do any good to the present
crop. There is certainly going to be
a very short crop in this section.
Large stark and nothing on it. The
crop will all be harvested very early
this year.
If the government report OF Au-
gust 25 was at all correct, if made
now would show much worse con-
dition, and the estimated yield would
be considerably reduced.

LOCAL, TALENTS PRESENTS
CINCERELLA IN FLOWOERLAND

The reporter cheerfully paid his
way to see the operetta Friday night,
as it was in connection with the Am
ercan Legion, and everyone should
be patriotic. The operetta as per-
formed in Newberry under the direc-
tion of Mr.. and Mrs. T. M. Seawell,
with the chorus and drill trained by
Mrs. Lola Connor, assisted by the ac-
companist, Mrs. E. B. Settler, was a
decided success, clearing $3.50. We
pause here to note that many of the
costumes were made Of Denn!son's
silk crepe and that Hal Kohn sells the
crepe.
Preceding the opening was a song
by Miss Janet Freed as Fairy. The
well sung song prepared US for what
was coming. Miss Freed's singing
blended beautifully with the pretty
characters that followed, each of
whom played her part most charming
ly, all of them seeming to be just
suited for their respective positions
in the operetta. Miss Frances Neel
who acted the part of Cinderella, Miss
Abbie Gaillard as Godmother Nature,
Miss Rose Turpin Tarrant as Robin
Red, the Princes herald, Miss Troxyl

The trustees f the Ridge Spring

fer of the children to and from the

about twenty children and the dis
tance is net orer four miles, or at
most six miles. 1t seems to me that
this is a fine arrangement for the
children of Ridge Spring, and also for
the SiIverstree, school. This will
give Silverstreet an enrolment of
