To the Editor OF the Enterprise:
4 public bcnefaetor has been defined as
the man who makes two blades Of grass
grow where but one grew before.
The same credit should 30 given 10 the
man who makes wealth out Of what
others lat 90 TO waste, thereby increasing
the taxable value Of the commonwealth
Of which he is i citizen. Any legitimate
I business which furnishes exclusive en-
ploynent 10 20 or so people in ] county
and draws from the outside world Sl5.-
600 70 $4,000 per annum, 70 ba used
and spant in tho county in which It Is
lsea;ed. using as 4 basis that which would
otherwise 90 10 waste and be entirely
lost. should at least have tho sanction Of
all fair minded citizens.
Such Is the bee business IN Otoro eoun-
ty. yot there seem to ba some people so
narrow they can not welcome with good
grace" such . business. Exclusive boo
keepers buy everything they live on. They
in no way come in competition with any
other business, but are consumers in the
strietest sense Of the word. They pay
taxes and usually donate as literally to
all worthy causes as the average citizen
in ether vocations. And It is practically
all done with money brought in from some
other state or locality.
Now | would like word in answer to
a Boo-Keeper in last weeks Enterprise:
First. have no more Use for the mi
gratory bee-kesper than he has, but for
tunately know Of none Of that class.
The man from another state he speaks OF
is a law-abiding citizen Of Otero county,
Colo. and knew whore every colony Of
bees in that neighborhood was located,
consequently it was not necessary for him
to inquire for any except the man from
the same state He also had too much
respect for the rights Of his fellow man.
and too much respect for his own welfare
to knowingly crowd IN on overstocked
territory. He feels confident there is
plenty Of room for even more bees than
will be on that territory.
Then, ! would like to ask how many OF
the rs per cent farmer bee-keepers give
the business any thought or time other
than lust enough time to put on and take
off the supersP Also how many Of them
owe their start in bee business to some
stray swarm from the despised 'profes-
sional's" yard. | bought II colonies Of
bees last winter from a Bookkeeping
farmer who told me that for three years
his bees had not paid for the ground they
occupied, while my own bees within one.
half mile Of him paid me 81 per colony
last year Why? Because he gave them
the same care the average farmer gives
his bees--no care at all.
We are here, law-abiding citizens. We
wrong no one. We pay our way. Ali we
ask, we grant-the right of every Amer
lean citizen to pursue unmolested his law
ful vocation. A Professional.

the aroused people. The alarm was
caused by the burning Of franc dwell

siderable clothing and ! number Of highly

Early in the evening Mr.. Gross found
the house had boen ontoJed by q lot Of
tramps which had been fred from a

THE HOWLERS.

There's 10. Of people upon this globe
They wade around in slough OF despond.
Their troubles none can appease

Drowning the sweet notes Of spring;
They're the band of Calamity Howlers.
And this Is the song they sing;
20 this whole world is cut on the bias.
And is rayeing at the edge:
We stand on the verge OF a crisis.
And sliding DER the ledge.
Tho rudder is gone from the ship Of state.
Tho man at the wheel is drunk
With the Of his power and dignity
Our chance OF safety Is punk.
They'll knock at the city where they reside.
And boost some other mans town.
They try for a step on Dame Fortunes stairs
BY pulling their neighbors down.
They've acquired a sauin, from peerlng around
For something TO howl about,
And whether they ever find i or not.
They'll open their Jaws and shout:
There's millions OF germs in the air we breathe.
Tho water amt ht TO drink;
No business Is safe that Is launched here now,
This town is going 70 sink.
The administration embszzlos the funds.
Eyerythngs going to rot.
And things are done here without our consent
Whether we like Il or not.
They bother their sean,y befuddled wits
Tending the nations affairs.
While their hogs die off and their stock runs wild.
And their fields grow up TO tares.
They will make an anvil out Of their town.
And pound with never miss;
But find their slogan, " rendered down

Plaintiff Got a Verdict.

A special from Columbia says a YER
dict Of 1915 was rendered against the
Atlantic Coast Line Thursday after
neon by the jury in the suit brought
by E. L. Richardson against that
company. The suit was interesting
and the original complaint asked for
for S., 900. The hearing Of the evil
dence consumed nearly all day Wed
nesday and the argument took part Of
the time Thursday morning. Rail
road men took considerable interest in
the proceedings, because it concerned
the sale OF a ticket to a point at
which the train on which Richardson
was riding did not stop. 1t seems
that several months ago Mr.. Richard
son bought a ticket to Latta and the
rule was that change should be made
at Florence for the train which stopp-
ed at that place. However, the plain
tiff was put of at Pee Dee, which is
about eight miles this side OF Latta,
because the train on which he was
riding made no stop, although bis
ticket read for that station. Suit was
fled for $1,000 and then the point
was raised that the train should have
stopped at the station, although there
were orders to the csnstrary. The
verdict and the whole case will un-
doubtedly end in the supreme court,
as the counsel for the railroad, MeSSrs
Barron and Ray, have already given
notice of motion for new trial.

Tuesday night to take the prisoner,

the killing of Flagman ArmeS Of the

O'Clock Sunday morning struck and

about half mile beyond the town
limits. The negro was sitting on the
track aad is supposed to have been in
a drunken stupor. He lived about a
mile and a half from town and had all
OF his bundles Of groceries with him
which he had purchased the evening
before. He had evidently spent the
night in town sp!eeing and was on his

making it impossible for the engineer
to stop his train in time to save the
unfortunate mans life.
