A Warm Reception
Mr. John Chandler, who moved
here the first of the week from
the boll weevil district of Missis
sippi and who had moved his be
longings to Pumpkin Bend, where
he will make a crop on the Chas.
Shue farm entertained a visitor
Wednesday who informed him
that he had come to set fire to
some 40 bales of hay.
Esq. J. W. Browning was the
man selected to deliver the mes
sage and when he informed Mr.
Chandler that he did not desire to
destroy his property without first
paying for it, he was given per
mission to proceed to apply a
match which he did in short
order.
Mr. Chandler brought with
him from the boll weevil district
40 bales of hay which consisted
of lespedeza,«peas and sorgnum,
for which Mr. Browning paid
him $30.00. The money was con
tributed by citizens and business
men of McCrory who didn’t care
to take any chances whatever in
getting the weevil transported
into this country.
The gentleman from Mississip
pi stated that it was possible for
weevils to have been in the hay
as it was harvested in the field
wherein he planted about eighl
acres in cotton from which he
harvested less than 1,000 pounds
in the seed. We think our peo
ple were wise in taking the pre
cautionary steps above mentioned
and we are glad to state that no
ill feelings resulted from so
doing.
