handsome profit upon, the bull
The crowd was large, exceptionally
large. In, fact, the quarters for the
sale were manifestly too small and
the heat was terrific. A movement
will be undertaken to have the next
sale of pure bred, cattle in Columbia
held on the east side of the Court
House. , It would be more convenient
for the buyers and much more com
fortable. V
In spite of the intense heat and the
crowded quarters interest in the sale
was so keen that the great majority of
the crowd stayed to , the very end.
There was considerable delay, due to
the failure of the auctioneer to arrive
on time. He missed his train connec
tion and did not get here until, an hour
after the appointed time. The ( sale
was not over until 6 o'clock, but the
crowd was right there and at the end

Young Cook was -the youngest son
of Mr. and Mrs. Sam C. Cook, of ML
Pleasant and was twenty-three years
of age. He was taken sick about six
weeks ago, his illness occasioned by
a nervous breakdown and for the past
three weeks had been in The King's
Daughters' Hospital at Columbia, for
treatment and was reported by his
physicians as greatly Improved and
permitted to leave the hospital and
walk down town to his brother's place
of business on , South Main - street,
where he would remain for some time
before returning to the hospital. His
brothers, Miles and, Fred Cook, said
that he would take a short walk every
morning around the square and then
come back to the store, not being gone
more than 15 or 20 minutes. On
Tuesday morning he came to (he store
and after remaining for about two
hours talking to his brothers, stated
that he was going to take a little walk:,
and after he had been gone for some
time one of his brothers asked about
him, and a few minutes later 4het re
port was sent out that a man had
jumped from the river bridge and was
drowned. His brothers became alarmed
at once, and began to try to locate
him. They telephoned to the hospital
and found that he had not returned
and as he could not be located any
where, they were almost sure that It
was their brother and immediately of
fered a reward for the recovery of the
body. :"
