WHAT THEY THINK OF SPARTANBURG There were three of them on the wide porch of the hotel in a certain town in the lower part of the state were endeavoring to catch what ever evening breezes might be afloat, meanwhile enjoying the cigars which one of the company had furnished. He was a tobacco drummer and somewhat generous with his sample case. "And where are you from? He queried of the man sitting beside him. "Spartanburg," was the reply. "That's the best town in the state, isn't it?" "Why certainly," said the Spartanburg man. "I'm not joking," replied the traveling man, "my business takes me all over the state, and I find Spartanburg the best town in it." "I spent four years there in college ," said the third man, who is a successful teacher, "and I quite agree with you." The man from Spartanburg made no response but went on silently puffing his cigar and wishing for the cool temperature of his native hills. MRS. MAXWELL SUFFERS INJURY Thursday, Mrs. John W.
