TOWN OF PELlON
SWEPT BY FLAMES

!, Practically the entire town Of Pelion
was destroyed by fire early Saturday
SAmorning. The fire was discovered un-
der the shed Of Mr.. J. H. Laird's store
'about 1870 o'clock, and before the
flames could be checked the major
portion of the business section Of the
town was in ashes. The Bank of
'Felion, two grocery stores, the post
office, barber shop, drug store and
a store building used as a dwelling
were burned. The loss is variously
estimated, and will probably reach
100000, the bank being the only insti-
tuition carrying Insurance.
DR.. A. T. Hutto sustained a con-
siderable loss in his drug store and
office, which we're consumed. The
grocery stores of J. H. Laird and j.
W. Roof each lost a stock of goods
valued between $500 and $4,000.
The loss to the bank is possibly
between $4,000 and $4,000.
The town has no fire protection eX-
cept bucket brigade, and the flames
quickly carried from one building to
another, and it was only by hard work
that the remainder of the town was
saved.

HOME BANK HAD
PROSPEROUS YEAR

The annual meeting of the stock
holders Of the Home National BANK
was held yesterday and the reports OF
the officers. covering the past year
were made. It was shown by the re-
ports of the officers that the instltu-
ton is in fine shape, having had re-
markable prosperity despite the de-
nression in business conditions gen.
erally for the last several months. A
total of Is per cent. was earned on
the capital stock of $5O,000.00 during
the wear, of which 10 per cent. was
paid to stockholders in dividends in
two installments of per cent. each
in June and December; 8 per cent.
was carried to the surplus fund of the
bank and per cent. to the undivided
profits account. This is a fine show
ing for a bank located in a strictly
agricultural community, when the low
price of cotton and the present gen.
eral depression in business are con-
sidered.
The stockholders reelected the old
board Of directors. as follows: Samuel
|B. George, DR.. J. P. Drafts, DR.. J. J.
Wingard. Karl F. Oswald, Thos. P.
Meetze, E. G. Dreher, J. P. Mat

Oswald, cashier; j. E. Hammer, as
sistant cashier; T. r. Keisler, assist
ant cashier.
The officers of the bank enter 1921
witt, confidence, and with the deter
imitation to aid the people of this
co1amunity il making this year one

ABOUT WOMAN's BLDG

Editor The Dispatch-News:
Once more. as Chairman Of LeXing-
ton county, I wish to call to your at
tention the need-the great and cry
ing need-for a suitable and adequate
building for our women students on
the campus of the University of South
Carolina. Now, as never before, the
young women of our State, are asking
and indeed begging for higher educa-
tional advantages. which as we know,
can only be obtained in our State
within the walls OF our State Univer-
sity and there While our State, invites
and urges them to come, they are de-
MED not only many of the advantages,
freely bestowed on the rest of the stu
dent body. but they are not even pro-
vided with .>.et | ;te living quarters
and this in = state that has always
been roteG fer its appreciation of
womanhcoG and its consideration of
her comforr Think what this will
mean evor,, ..,,E. many of our bright
est, strongest. Il =: most ambitious
minds viii: go elsewhere seeking ad-
vantages denied them here; we can
not afford to permit this loss, we need
the new life, til" new strength. the
new vision that the daughters of our
State can bring US and it behooves US
to do all in our power to keep within
our bounds, this wealth of young life.
Our young women count in public
and economic, and educational life as
never before and we must show them
we need them and appreciate thenl
so that they may feel and realize. as
they possibly never have Nefore that
they too owe a duty and allegiance to
our beloved State.
So, dear friends, let us see that
these daughters Of ours have the op-
portunity to develop their powers by
providing them comfortable and nee
essary quarters. Let us do all in our
mower to help carry out the plans for
woman's building-sl woman's home
on the Campus of our University and

mothers recipe, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair a good,
even color, which is quite sensible, as
we are living in an age when a youth
full appearance is of the greatest ad-
vantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task Of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition Of
other ingredients called Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound. 1t is very
popular because nobody can discover
it has been applied. Simply moisten
your comb or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, but
what delights the ladies with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound is that,
besides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, it also pro-
duces that soft lustre and appearance
of abundance which is so attractive.
