1t requires plenty of capital to enter
largely into the poultry business, but
when the start is made ;-'ith a few the
capital increases every year through
the increase of the flock. When a
small flock is kept, there is no expense
charged for labor, but the item of
labor is the most costly of all when
large flocks are managed. No one
can enter the poultry business and
make success of the venture who
delegates the important duties to an
other. There are too many risks to
incur. The successful man must be-
gin at the bottom. and as the business
grows he must grow with it, by having
thorough knowledge of all detail.

1t appears from the testimony TAX

Suber that number of negroes were
gathered at George Sims house on
Saturday night. November 10. for a
party. which continued until an early
hour Sunday morning. At about 3
o'clock Sunday morning, it is stated,
Toe Sims walked out of the house
with a shotgun in his hands. and a
few moments later an explosion was
heard and John Rikard, who with
several companions was near fire
which had been built in the yard.
was wounded. Nobody seems to have
heard any words. Sims, the negro
who did the shooting, later stated to
MAGISTRATE Suber that he was work

was exploded accidentally. Rlkard
sent for Magistrate Suber about a
week after he was shot and stated:
Boss, I believe Joe Sims shot me for

GRAND LODGE MASONS.
Hon. George S. Mower Represents
Anity Lodge at Meeting in
Charleston Today.

NorShipiul Master George S
Mower, OF Amity lodge. 4. F. N.
this city, left yesterday afternoon fol
Charleston to attend the annual COM
,i;,alqii,:ation Of tie grand lodge oi
Nascti:-; OF South Carolina, which
meets IN sf7a1 city at high twelve to-
day.
One of the most important ques-
tons to come up before the grand
lodge this year is that Of physical re-
ouirements for membership. At the
meeting two years ago resolution
was introduced to the effect that the
eligibility of any candidate, SO far as
concerned his physical condition,
should be left to a committee consist
ing of the three highest officers OF the
grand lodge, including the grand mas
ter the grand deputy master and the
grand junior warden. This motion
came up for consideration last year
and was very freely discussed, being
finally killed, one of the reasons why
it did not pass, it has been stated, be-
inq that it was not sufficiently definite
in its provisions. At the same meeting
at which this resolution failed another
resolution was introduced along the
same line. and being held over for
wear, according to the Masonic law,
will come up for consideration at the
meeting in Charleston next week.
This proposed change in the constltu-
ton seeks to amend the present law
as to physical requirements for mem
bership in a number of particulars, be-
ing specific in its provisions. The
substance of the present Masonic law
on this point is that an applicant must
be "as a man ought to be-" South
Carolina is at present one of the strict

and put into operation by the ladies
OF the United Synod of the South,
| whereby the sum Of twenty thousand
dollars is to be raised for missionary
purposes. each woman in the South
crn Lutheran church being aske1 to
contribute one dollar.
1t MAJ be OF interest to note vha
The idea and the movement were orig

by Mrs. NJ O. J. Kreps. Of Augusta.
Ga. who, through the pages Q: the
Lutheran Church Visitor, sent out
call that went ringing throughout the
southland. inspiring the women Of
other states to take up the work and
contribute to the cause
1t was the desire OF the women Of
South Carolina to contribute not less
:han five thousand dollars to the work
OF raising twenty thousand dollars.
Mrs. J. \. B. Scherer. OF Newberry;
Mrs. NJ. o. J. Kreps, of Augusta; Mrs.
Kate Eargle. OF Grenville; Miss
Greishaber, Of Columbia: and Mrs.
Dinglehoef, of Prosperity. have been
engaged in the work OF organization
for the past two weeks. and the rally
day on Sunday in this city was part
of that movement.
By special invitation DR.. R. c. Hol-
land. OF Charlotte, n. c., president OF
the board OF missions OF the United
Synod OF the South. was in Newberry
and preached two missionary sermons.
DR.. Holland is an earnest speaker, ano
his eloquent words did much toward
arousing living interest and enthus-
iasm in the present movement. In the
morning DR.. Holland preached n the
Lutheran Church of the Redeemer,
and in the evening the Aveleigh
Presbyterian church was used, by
courtesy OF the pastor, Rev. J. L.
Williamson. for the reason that the
heating apparatus OF the Lutheran
church was badly out Of order. On
bo:h occasions DR.. Holland addressed
large congregations.
At the evening service Miss Greis-
haber, OF Columbia. rendered vocal
solo. Her voice is peculiarly sweet
in quality, and she sang with much
real feeling and expression.
