Tabor City and the sur rounding countryside was rocked by a terrific explosion earlv yesterday morning when a combination ser vice station and residence across the South Carolina line in Horry County was blown to bits. The blast occurred about 3 o'clock. Only by the coincidence of a last mniute decision to spend the night, with a friend after attending an oy ster supper. Mrs. Clincn Powell, her child and mother, who have been making their home in the building, escaped the explosion. The powerful charge tore the building to shreds and left a deep hole where the force of the dynamite swept downward. Scores of citizens were awakened by the explosion and win dows rattled two miles away. One month ago yesterday the fill ing station-residence was the scene of the fatal shooting of Curtis Ste An unconfirmed report was circulated at press time that a ladies' glove was found at the scene of the dynamiting yester day and that the mate to the glove had been located. phens.

COLE Held to a scoreless deadlock in the first half by an inspired Chad bourn eleven, Tabor City high school Red Devils ran wild in the final two periods here Friday after noon to swamp the visitors 27 to 0. Apparently powerless for half of the contest, Tabor City came back from the intermission and a tongue lashing from Coach Caruso to count twice in the third period and twice more in the fourth quarter. The deadly passing arm of Fred Soles, who literally got up out of a sick bed to play, and the receptive and running genius of the injured star scatback. Ted Fipps. who played with an ailing back, spelled the dif ference. Fipps caught two passes from Soles to scamper to pay dirt in the third and came back with a 75-yard run in which he side-stepped, reversed his field and hula-hipped his way across the goal line. He was aided in his touchdown jaunt by two bril liant blocks thiown ty H^rcld Wed and Sam Jackson, the latter showing magnificent form after missing the Wallace game a week earlier. The final touchdown was account ed for by Fred Jernigan, Jr., the Red Devils' capable blocking back and signal caller, who has carried the ball only a few times the entire season. In three plays with Jerni gan carrying the pigskin, he scored from the 20-yard marker. Three of the four extra point at tempts were converted by Soles wno dashed through the line. Ralph Baxter, an all-county cen ter if there ever was one, was not ir. top shape, having suffered from the flu for several days, but he gave a good account of himself, and Har old Rogers, an ail-county linesman on anybody's team, took care of his share on both ofifense and defense. Earl Stanley, who is expected to develop into a 1947 mainstay, showed improvement over early season play. In addition to the ailing and in jured players on the Tabor City squad, Andy Jernigan, star line plunger and punter sat this one out no the sidelines. He was an other victim of the flu. When Jernigan plunged over the goal line in the final quarter Fri day, it was the 15th touchdown registered by the Tabor City eleven this season against six by their op ponents. Five of the six opposition scores were made by Hallsboro, leav to register against Coach Caruso's boys. R.B. Britt Purchases Anderson Building Appointments Now Necessary At Local Cannery J. P. Huggins, local agricultural teacher, announced this week thit patrons of the Tabor City cannery who wish to can their pork and beef shold make appointments with him before slaughtering their beef 9nd pork. As a convenience to the farmer and the cannery personnel it is most important that appoint ments be made several days in ad vance. The cannery will operate as many days per week as necessary. As the number of persons canning meat is increasing and the process being new to some, it might be -.veil to consider several important points, Mr. Huggins said. It is very es sential in securing a satisfactory meat product to use absolutely fresh meat from animals that are healthy and have been butchered and hand led in a sanitary manner. Do not feed the animal for 18 to 24 hours before butchering, but give plenty of water. Carcasses should be wash ed with cold water, wiped dry with a cloth and chilled rapidly after dressing, but not allowed to freeze. Before canning it is essential for the meat to be free of animal heat and freezing temperatuer causes a frozen crust to form on the out side of the meat thus holding the animal heat around the joints. The desirable temperature for cooling meat is 34 to 40 degrees. Poultry should be chilled from six to twelve hours and beef for 48 hours. Footballers End Season Today Tabor City Red Devils will wind up their 1946 football season with a game at Wallace Friday afternoon. Coach Caruso and his squad will leave for the strawberry capítol early Friday morning. Despite a 6 to 0 victory over t ie Wallace eleven two weeks ago, the Red Devils will enter the game as the underdog. Due to injuries and and epidemic of flu, the local lads will not be in top condition for the enconter and a repetition of their form against Chadbourn last week when it took half the game to get started would be disastrous against the powerful Wallace eJeven. The Red Devils go into their final game with a record of five victories, two ties and two defeats.
