C. INGATHERING STARTS TODAY AT ANTIOCH .J At one time I was acquainted with • ■ eighty neighbors named Thomas all living within a few miles of Jackson Springs. Jackson Springs took its name from the riearby creek, and that creek took the name of a settler in that community w:ho came from the state of Pennsylvania.

The game will be broadcast (Contini^ed oa back page) Last Friday afternoon Chief McQuage “Observ'ed a horse with rider tearing through some of the back streets of the town at a great rate of speed and, deciding that a wrong was being committed, he tbo'k out after him. He failed to- cafth him, however,' until the steed had returned to his home at the Oarl Morris stable. The rider wa.s^^. Ji. Morden and fte, had borrowed the horse from the.stable. The chidf cited him to appear before Mayor W. L. Poole. Morden did so ‘ and was charged with disturbing tjie peace, the once forceful ordinance against speed ing on horseback being no longer on the books. Mayor Poole lec tured 'Morden on the foolishness and danger of what he hatl' done dismissed the case, inasmuch ag no pedestrians or others had been '’seriously bothered; and the pehce of tills tranquil hamlet had not,' in fact, been disturbed by Mor- deri’s wild ride. Wm. L. Holliday of Jackson Springs grew 115 bushels of corn on an acre, of land one half mile north of Jackson Springs a few years after the South Carblinian. Holliday did not gather nor mea sure the corn. There are more grasshoppers this year than usual, and that .accounts for a poor stand of tur nips this fall. Insects are more destructive with each succeeding year. Many people, believe there will be another depression following the present highly • inflated jleriod in which there has not been pros perity. I havb lived through three periods of tinie, when there was little done-in'the way of accumu lation of this world’s goods. Bethuel Dawkins was a horse rogue who lived in Moore Co.unty, He would oSrry stolen horses to South Carolina and sell them. H made his last trip,' and has never been seen or heard of since.
