THE CAR DEsPoILER.
William Burns Arrested and Adj
mits He Looted the Coach.

Officers Douglas and Max P. Fisher
yesterday arrested a man named Will
lam Burns on suspicion Of having looted
a railway coach ON the B-street levee
about three weeks ago.
Burns at first denied all knowledge
of the crime, but Douglas and Fisher
soon convinced him that the evidence
which they had been quietly collecting.
with the assistance of Detective Will
lam Ahern, was more than sufficient to
secure a conviction, and after another
effort on Burns part to make the Off
GERS believe that the wrong man had
been arrested he finally acknowledged
his guilt.
Burns told the officers that after tear
ing the costly brass attachments from
the coach he heated and somewhat dis
figured them, SO that the man who
bought the brass for old junk wou. 1
have reasonable ground for claiming
that he did not know it was railroad
brass, or stolen brass. in case any in
quiry should be made about it.
The car had been standing on the
Bstreet track for several months,
waiting to. be taken to the railroad
shops for repairs.

colleague in the house, the late Gen

South Carolina Grown Tea.

The Philadelphia Ledger said on last
Friday at is announced that Amer
ican-grown tea was placed on the mar
ket in New York for the first time in
the history of the country this week.
This is very important and interest
ing event, and may mark the substan-
tial beginning of a great industry in
the south. For years the agricultural
department has believed the conditions
were favorable in certain southern To-
calities for the profitable growth of tea,
and urged that practical experiments
be made. The product put on the
market this week was grown at Pine
hurst, about 90 miles from Charleston,
S. c., and in quality is of such a high
grade that it is said to have brought a
better price than the rarest variety of
Chinese or japanese tea. This exper-
ience of the planter is certain to give
an impetus to tea-growing in the
south, and its success would be great
triumph for the department of agricul-
ture."

ABOUT WHEAT.
Some Old Time Farmers Who Knew
Their Business.


Their Business.
Spartanburg Spartan.
Certain persons are calling for a
wheat convention in this state. OF
course it will do good, provided few
earnest, intelligent farmers can be
brought together to discuss the best
plans of preparing land and saving the
crop. n. A. Craig, of the Craig Mill
ing company of Greenwood, is pleading
for a convention. Sam NJ. Grist, OF
Yorkville, also thinks that one would
do much good. Greenwood has been
suggested as a proper place for the
convention.
But these people start out with the
idea that most farmers are ignorant
of the methods of raising wheat.
Young people must never forget the
fact that "there were brave men be-
fore Agamemnon." When the Lath-
am brothers came to Cherokee Ford
in the early fifties, they brought some
Scotch ideas with them. One of these
ideas was that the yield of wheat in
this section could be brought up to
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1899-07-22

much higher average by proper
methods. They used large turn
plow and harrows and spread guam
tity of lot and stable manure on the
ground. They may have used little
Peruvian guano. When the wheat was
thrashed the yield was something
over 50 bushels to the acre. That
record has not been beat yet. About
the same time Mr.. James Byers, of
Union county, who was large farmer,
selected a field of fair wheat land.
He laid it off into acre lots. On the
first acre he put nothing; on the Sec
ond 10 bushels of cotton seed on the
third twenty, and so on up to 80 on the
last acre. He did not measure the
yield of these lots separately, but
judged by the appearance Of the crop.
There was little difference between
the first and second lots. But where
20 bushels of seed were used there was
a manifest Improvement. The best
crops were on the lots on which 80
and 40 bushels of cotton seed were
used. There was falling off then un-
til the S0.bushel lot was reached, on
which there was a very light crop.
He used no manure except cotton
seed. Now in 80 bushels of cotton
seed there is more ammonia than there
is in ton of ordinary ammoniated
fertilizer.
These facts are given to show that
farmers of former days knew some
thing about raising wheat and making
experiments. But each farmer has
to learn for himself and a convention
will do good but the weekly papers
which reach the homes of reading
farmers will be constant source of in
formation to thoughtful readers. The
farmers who never fail should give
their experience and those who fail
should raise the danger signal and
tell their fellow farmers the cause of
their failure.

Manila Correspondent, Leslie's Weekly.
We have expert American embalm-
ers here who tell me they have tried
every method of embalming and have
failed. To the small-calibre bullet of
the insurgents Mauser the wounded
boys owe their lives and continuance
of their usually friendly association
with good arms and legs. In the bony
structure of the body the Mauser bores

and although brass bullet had gone
through the leg sideways, severing the
large blood-vessels and terribly lacera-
ting the flesh, the collateral circulation

dominal tissues the Mauser is always
fatal, excepting wounds of the liver.
Those wounded in the intestines,
stomach and spleen always dies.
Everyone operated on for resection of
wounded intestines dies, and the opera
ton is now entirely abandoned.
Wounds of the head excite the most
wonder. At the battle of MariquIna,
March 25, Private Avery Grimes, of
my company, fell close to my left. A
Mauser entered behind the right ear,
passed diagonally forward through the
posterior wall of the throat, with its
exit near the left corner of his mouth,
taking along three teeth. He is prac-
tically well today. A Colorado man
on our right that day had Mauser
bullet traverse the Same lueutlcdi

trance and exit were reversed. He
returned to his company in two weeks
in good health. Another man was
struck behind the ear high up, the
ball passing downward and forward
and out the middle portion of the low
er Jaw. He lost couple of teeth, but
is making a nice recovery. A Mon.
tana boy was struck an inch back of
the outer angle of the left eye, the
bullet passing through his skull and
making its exit in the same locality on
the other side. He has lost the sight
of one eye, and l fear the other will
soon follow, although he will recover
his usual health. A Nebraska man
was shot directly over the left eye, the
ball passing down and out underneath
the edge of the jaw, re-entering the
shoulder and out near the elbow, again
entering the wrist and out the back of
his hand. He is out of commission
for a couple of months, but will have
