Cotton is looking fine in that sec tion for such a late planting, and seems to be fruiting pretty good. Auto Tag Law Violators Run Risk of Prosecution It is a violation of the State auto tag law to take the tag from one car and place it on another. County Officer L. S. Skelton re ports that he has found four coun ■ terfeit 1924 tags so far this year, j exhibiting one Monday that was a j pretty good job, but not good enough to escape the officer’s eye. The transferring of tags, operat ing without tags and other violations of the law might cause trouble, and since the State officers will be here again soon, it behooves every car owner in Hartwell and the county to “fix things just right” so we can pass inspection. o Storm Late Saturday The heaviest rain, wind and hail storm this immediate section has ex perienced in time visited Hartwell late Saturday afternoon.

Mr. Thornton reports the sale of some cloth recently, and is optimistic over the outlook for the mills this fall. o Barbecue Last Friday About two hundred enjoyed the barbecue at the country club last Friday afternoon, which was a joint meeting of the Kiwanis and Country Club members, their wives, daugh ters, sisters, sweethearts and friends.
