Changing Heavy Clay Soil.

1t requires at least 100 or more loads
of sand to cover even very slightly the
43,560 square feet in an acre of land,
says American Cultivator. This will
make the cost more than the change is
worth, unless the sand and clay are
much closer together than is usual. We
have known it to be done in gardens
for the culture of melons and cucum-
bers, both of which succeeded better
where sand constitutes a part of the
soil. But usually the application of
manures, and the blowing under of
clover and the thorough undertaking
of the clay, will make all the change
needed, and do it much more cheaply
than can be done by drawing sand on
it. So soon as clay soil is UNDER
drained the frost mellows the surface
soil so that clover seed will grow, and
when a clover growth is secured it will
so increase the amount of vegetable
matter that there will be no difficulty
thereafter in keeping the soil friable at
least to the depth it is plowed.

HUMAN BONES ON CREEK

A White Man and Negro Boy Ar

YorkvIlle, May 19.-The find
ing near q creeks bank in sBul.

of portion OF the skeleton of a
human hand has created excite
ment by the neighborhood and
caused the.arrest of Sam Childers,
white, and Al Freemster. a negro.
They were committed to Jail to.
day pending further investiea a
ton.
The story of the sensation dates
back to last February. Childers,
who Is shady character, had un-
der his control stray white boy
who went by the name of Gilbert
Cross and a bound negro boy
named Al Freemster.
About the 18th of February
Feemster was charged with theft.
The people who made the charge
were relying on the evidence of
Gilbert Gross. On the next day,
Sunday. Gross disappeared, but
the fact did not develop publicly
until Monday, wheu ChiIders was
taken before magistrate for a
preliminary examination. Al
Freemster, who Is somewhat
weak minded, stated that he and
Childers had killed Cross on the
day before and buried the body
in ditch. He subsequently re-
versed his statement, but as the
result of it strict search was in
stltuted.
In answer to questions, Childers
claimed that on the day before he
had induced Gross to leave the
neighborhood and 60 to North
Carolina. He stated that it was
Cross who was guilty of the theft
that was being investigated, and
it was on that account that he
had advised Gross to run away.
The people hunted the country
over without getting the slightest
clue and the whereabouts Of the
missing boy.
Childers was convicted of the
theft-petty larceny-paid his
fine and went free. The affair
blew over for the time and moth
ing more was heard from it un-
til the past few days.
On Wednesday of last week,
Mr.. John McIlwain picked up a
short distance from Bullock's
creek q rather peculiar looking
fragment of a skeleton. He
thought he had found the skele-
ton of "a fox's foot and others dis.

eheleCoh looKed 10 MIN very much
like that of human hand. The
JOINTS of bone were taken to Bull
locks Creek church next day and
the matter was laid before three
physicians. Drs. Kope, Hood and
Brawley. Each of them unh esita-
tingly gave the opinion that the
bones were those of human
hand.
Following the opinion of the
doctors theory began to revert
back to the disappearance of
young Gross, and again the coun.
try was secured for further re.
mains. Nothing else developed
except that on Thursday one OF
the searchers picked up near the
creek bank brogan shoe that
showed evidence of exposure to
water and weather, and which
had been worn and patched.
Witnesses identified the shoe as
being very similar to those worn
by Cross when last seen alive, and
as the outcome of it all Childers
and Feemster were again arrest.
ed.s
AT a preliminary examination
on yesterday but little could be
gotten out of Feemster. Chllders
repeated the story he told on the
former occasion and claimed
that Cross was not only alive and
we'll In North Carolina, but that
he can be produced. All the same
it was deemed best to commit
the two men to Jail.
DR.. w. A. Hood was in York
vile this morning and had with
him the suspicious section of
skeleton. 1t consists of that part
of the left hand from wrist to
knuckles. There are four finger
bones and a thumb bone, or rath.
er bones that correspond to these
members. The thumb bone is
not in as good state of preserva-
tion as is the otheIs. This fact
strengthens the theory as to iden-
tity. There are witnesses who
cay positively that Crosses left
thumb was deformed.
Citizens of the neighborhood
who have given most study to
case say that if it is a fact that
Gross was really murdered, it is
probable that his body was
weighted and thrown into the
creek. They think 1T was then
probably carried some distance
in time of high water. The bones
in question were found within
about 100 yards of what's known
in the neighborhood as the "shal-
low ford" and 1T is believed that
they were probably carried away
from the creek bank by a dog.
People who live in the immedia-
ate vicinity ssay they remember
Iof seeing flock of buzzards near
the shallow ford some time back,
but they did not 90 to see what
the buzzards were after.
The people of the neighborhood
are still very much excited and
are hard at work building theo-
ries and collecting evidence. If
the Cross ie produced alive and
well of course Childers will be
out of it and there will be moth
ing left out but the mystery of
human bones on the creek bank.
