BOY WAS KILLED.
Sister Badly Injured When Hit BY
Motorcycle at waseca


Waseca. September 21.-An acci-
dent occurred last Friday afternoon
when a motorcycle driven by Fred
Henkensiefken, ran into Carl and
Helen Holteen, killing Carl and
badly injuring Helen Holteen.
The children were dismissed
from school Friday afternoon and
they started for home. They had
to walk along the much travelled
Wilson highway. They had walked
but a short distance when two of
Herman Briese's boys picked them
up in their car.
The Holteen children were taken
right to their gate and the car
stopped on the right hand side Of
the road, Carl Holteen got out Of
and they went around the back of
the car. Coming from behind were
several EARS, two OF them being
Iowa cars. The children were
watching these cars and apparently
did not look ahead and did not no
tice the motorcycle coming.
Carl walked ahead and Helen was
directly behind. Just as soon as
they got away from the car the
motorcycle smashed into them.
Carl Holteen was terribly smashed
and bruised and lived only forty
FIVE minutes after the accident
Helen was badly bruised but es-
capped the worse rsrt OF the crash
Doctors were caned Immediately
and it was found that her leg was
broken Henkensiefken was thrown
from his motorcycle but was not
injured. He helped carry the chill
dren to the house and was manly
in his actions. -

swEEv1L RUINS CROP.

j. T. aFin, former editor and
publisher of the Rock Hill Eve
ming Herald, has just returned to
Rock Hill from an automobile
trip to points IN Georgia, where
he gathered considerable infor-
nation concerning the growing
Of cotton under boil weevil condi-
tions. Speaking of his trip. Mr..
Fain said:
1.-THE best cotton l saw. in this
State or in Georgia was in Spar
tanburg, Greenville and Ander-
son counties. The crops around
Hartwell, Ga, were the best that
l saw anywhere in Georgia. The
crops around Rock Hill look bet
ter than the crops in middle Geor-
gia, where the boil weevil damage
appears to have reached the
maximum. ~.
"COweta county, Ga, situated
southwest of Atlanta, is a fair in.
dex to- conditions in middle
Georgia. Their record crop was
about $4,000 bales. In 1920 the
crop was about 10000 bales, last
year it was $1,000 bales and this
year it will not be more than
1000 or 5000 bales. l gathered
this information from the. best
farmers and cotton men in the
county. The general conditions
brought about by this slump in
in cotton production are, in an
agricultural sense, disastrous. A
number of fertilizer plants, oil
mills, cotton buyers and cotton
warehouses have gone out of bus
mess and the effect is being felt
in all lines of business. This Sec
tion Of Georgia is now feeling the
full force of the weevil."
In some sections of Georgia
where the weevil first put in its
appearance some of the farmers
told Mr.. Fain they find that they
can grow cotton under weevil
conditions by dusting with calci-
um arsenate according to the di-
rcctions Of the United States de-
partment of agriculture expert.
lie said in one field where the
calcium arsenate was not used
not SO much as 10 per cent crop
will be made while the fields
treated with the poison show
normal growth.

Age Of St. Johns Church.

Doubt has arisen in the minds
OF number OF the older citizens
OF Fort Mill as TO the accuracy OF
the date on the cornerstone of
st. Johns Methodist churcn
which bears the figures 1882"
as the year in which the church
was organized. Asked yesterday
about the matter, an officer of
the church said the records Of
the church in possession of the
congregation did not 60 farther
back tharf 1882 and that it was
from these records the date of the
organization of the church was
taken.
A citizen Of the town who has
lived here many years said he
remembered distinctly attending
as a little boy the Sunday school
of St. Johns church as far back
as 1879 and that he was confident
the original church building of
the congregation in which the
Sunday school was then held,
and which occupied the site of
the home on Clebourne street in
which T. r. Lytle and his family
now live, was erected not later
than 1875 on 1876.
