FARMER PROTESTS.
Lost $6s On, Three Cars of Water
.---,--.-... --Srrrielons.

Lost $63 On Three Cars of Water
-rFnielons.
From S. w. Copeland of Ehrhardt,
S. c.. Senator E. d. Smith has receiv-
ed letter in which vouchers were en-
closed showing that Copeland "had
paid $63 for the privilege Of giving
New Y,rk three carloads of water
melons,
The writer said the condition of
which he complained is general this
season in both Carolina and Georgia,
and he appealed to the senator to do
something to remedy it if possible.
The vouchers showed that the three
carloads of melons were sold in New
York for a total of 1895, while the
freight paid to the railroad for carry
ing them was $41S, and the comission
to the seller was $40.
1.-The railroad got theirs" said the
shipper in his letter, "the commission
merchant got his; and me and my
hands sweated over these melons for
months, and was then called on to pay
$63 in addition to losing the fertilizer,
seed and all the work DONE"
Senator Smith read the letter to the
senate and expressed indignation at
the state of affairs which allows such
a condition to exist. He remarked
that he and others in Washington are
having to pay as much as 20 cents at
restaurants for an eighth of a water
melon.
The key of the difficulty as to rail-
road rates, the South Carolina senator
found, is that phase of the Esch- Cum
Minis act, which bases rates on the
theory OF per cent profit to the roads
of the country.
Senator Watson of Georgia, inter-
rupted to call attention to the fact that
the southeastern states have no repre-
Gcntation on the Interstate Commerce
commission. Senator Smith deplored
this, but held that whatever the make
up of the commission might be, its
functions of rate regulation would be
controlled by the Esch- -Cummins law

BEAR is KILLED
Mayor of Spartanburg Has to Kill His
Pet.

After being chased by a crowd Of
approximately 100 citizens for over four
hours and biting Bob Smith, negro
attendant, the pet bear owned by
Mayor John f. Floyd was shot by his
master in front Of his residence in
spartanbprg about - o'clock Thursday
night. The negro. who was bitten
painfully above the knee on the right
leg, was taken to the hospital, but he
is not thought to be in a serious con-
dition. The bear has been kept as a
pet by Mayor Floyd for several years
and was quite accomplished. Although
he had made his escape before, it had
always been comparatively easy to re-
capture him and lead him to his abode.
Thursday night. however. ne refused to
return home and eluded his pursuers
repeatedly before returning to the lawn
of his masters home. Here the negro
attempted to lasso him and was at
tackled Mayor Floyd fired three loads
of buck shot into the grizzly body and
snuffed out it's life in short time.

Woman Conducted Services.

A series of services in progress at
Glover Methodist church, directed by
Mrs. C. S. Steidly of Gastonia, con-
Quoted each day and night last week,
came to close Sunday night with a
congregation that taxed the seating
capacity of the church, in attendance.
Mrs. Steidly, who is evangelist Of the
Shelby district Of the Western North
Carolina conference, was perhaps the
first woman ever to hold an evangel-
istic campaign in York county.
Her sermons, delivered each day,
were strong and forceful and she
proved herself to be preacher Of
great force and persuasion. While
Mrs. Steidly does not claim to be an
evangelist in the ordinary sense of the
word, but rather Bible teacher, her
auditors regarded her not only as an
evangelist, but one of the most inter-
esting ever heard in Glover and there
were a number of professions OF faith
as n result of the weeks meeting. Mrs.
Steidly was formerly associated with
the noted evangelist, Rev. Baxter Nc
Lendon.

Will They Stick II Out?


All observers, those on the farm and
those in other lines, especially where
they have had opportunity to ride over
the county, have been impressed with
the thoroughness with which the peo-
pie have been hunting boil weevils and
picking up and burning squares.
There are some fields that have been
neglected.; but as rule they are the
exception. In every section of the
county the cotton crops have been
patrolled day after day, row after row
and stalk by stalk, men, women and
children being engaged in the work.
The negroes who think that hoodoo
will get them if they burn squares are
to be found in this county as else
where. They argue that God sent the
weevil and that he must not be des-
troyed by fire. There are some negroes
however, who, while holding to the
nti-burning theory, don't mind gather
ing the weevils up into sacks and then
burying the sacks in the creeks until
| the weevils rot.
Some of the whites report that when
they first began picking up squares
they could burn a days work in the
stove; but now they find it necessary
to throw them on a brush pile.
During q discussion of the subject
in the presence of the reporter by two
or three farmers opposite the store of
the York Hardware company last Sat
urday afternoon, one of them said:
The people in our neighborhood
have sure been picking up those
squares most faithfully so far; but as
to whether they are going to keep it up
| cannot say. I heard neighbor of
mine remark the other day that his
children had been so confined by the
boil weevil that they have had no va
cation at all and he was going to turn
them loose during August. Well you
know August is the most critical
month of the whole season, and if
people let loose during August all they
have done previously will go for moth
ing. But by the way, here is an i'm
portant fact connected with the habit
of the boil weevil. Others may know
it already; but it was new to me. /
got it from some Texas farmers at the
recent Confederate reunion. They say
that when weevil lights on n given
spot it remains right there and does
it's life work. The brood it raises goes
somewhere else; but the same weevil
never operates beyond one circum-
scribed area"

Baseball Rivalry.
Speaking of baseball rivalry" said
one yesterday, 81 went up to Kings
Mountain, N. c. Friday afternoon with
several others to see a game between
Kings Mountain and Shelby. If those
two towns are as great rivals in busi-
ness as they are at baseball, competi-
ton must certainly be keen. But
about the game: Kings Mountain
finally won-5 to 3 and the fans GER
tainly got plenty of thrills. / suppose
there were 1000 or more people in at
tendance including several hundred
from Shelby and quite a number from
York county. For several innings the
game stood to in favor of Shelby
and then Kings Mountain started kick
ing on the umpire's decisions while
there was q dispute over the question
Of whether or not some of the Shelby
players were roughing or cutting the
ball. Finally Bad Eye Guthrie, Kings
Mountain pitcher, threw the ball over
the grand stand and out Of the lot and
the jumps ordered him out Of the game.
That started another big row and the
fans poured onto the field while Kings
Mountain cops were chasing around
like grease in a skillet trying to avoid
q fight or else with a view to being on
hand when the fighting started. After
q bit Kings Mountain started a batting
rally and the game resulted in their
favor. But there was q world OF in
terest and the Shelby bunch returned
homeward sore and disheartened. Both
Kings Mountain and Shelby have base
ball teams whose players are the equal
of players of the South Atlantic league
and the fans are supporting the teams
literally. According to a Kings Noun
tain man to whom 1 talked, though,
there is danger that the gamblers are
going to break up the sport. 1t was
said that wagers totalling several
thousand dollars were laid on the
game Friday and that gamblers OF
Charlotte, Kings Mountain, Gastonia
and a number of other towns are regu-
larly betting large sums on each

HUGH FORD TRIUMPH

Probably no. motion picture was
ever made under more difficulties
than Henry Arthur Jones THE Call
of YOUTH" the second production of
the Famous Players-Lasky British
Producers, Ltd. which was filmed at
the new studio near London. This
point is an interesting one to recall
when one may witness the marvel
nus results achieved by going to the

1r Saturday night.
When Hugh Ford, one OF the big
yest American directors, was sent to
England to produce pictures, the 9TH

be up against untold difficulties. In
the first place, because of the war,
the British had been prohibited from
making any strides in their methods

sailed along ahead of them by sew
eral years. They didn't have skilled
mechanics, electricians, studio equip
ment
Hugh Ford, however veteran of
screen and stage. quickly took stock
of all conditions and remedied them
to the extent that "The Call OF
Youth" can be shown anywhere and
compare favorably with any picture
made in this country Mary Glynne,
Jack Hobbs, Malcolm Cherry and Ben
Webster are in the leading roles.
