HE WORKED SMOOTH GAM
Daniel Zimmerman, Former Enploye
in State Treasurer's Office At Co.
lumbla and Member Of An Old
South Carolina Family, is Charged
With Fradulently Abstracting S12,-
500 Plus Interest.

Columbia, Special.-A warrant was
issned Tuesday afternoon for the ar
rest Of Daniel Zimmerman, former
bookkeeper and confidential clerk in
the State Treasurer office, upon all
| affidavit sworn to by State Treasurer
r. H. Jennings, charging him with q
breach Of trust with fraudulent inten-
ton and the theft Of State bonds of
the value Of $4,000, which, with >ac-
crued interest, aggregate $lfi,4t3.75.
Zimmerman, who is member Of
one Of the oldest and most highly re-
spected families in South Carolina, is
shout 62 years of age, and has resided
in Columbia with his family since
1891, coming here from Orangehurg
comfy. He served i'll the capacity of
bookkeeper from 1892 until 1902, nm
der three different State lTreasurers,
W. 7, C. Bates, w. H. Zimmerman,
and the incumbent. The officers are
liable for any shortage during their
terms of office, the liabilities being
about as follows:
W. T. C. Bates, $1,000; ". H.
Zimmerman, $l0,500; and r. FL Jen-
nings, 81, 400.
It is alleged that the fraud was
committed when party having bonds
might prefer estate stock" in ex-
change. The papers would be pre-
sented and the transfer made. Then,
instead OF canceling the bond. the
clerk in charge apparently would take
OH! one of the bonds when there
would be large packages and at some
convenient date would put it on the
market as il it were negotiable in
strument instead of bond. The
bonds of the State are payable to
bearer, just as a bank note or other
currency, and the stock being payable
to order only.
It IS said the irregularities were
discovered some time ago, and efforts
had been made to get Zimmerman to
explain them, but it is alleged that
he failed to keep several engagements
to visit the Office and clear up the
matter.
Just before issuing the warrant
Tuesday two Of the former Treasurers
visited Zimmerman S home to prepare
Linn for what was coming, and to
make last effort to settle the matter
outside the law, il possible. Reaching
his home, they were informed that
he was at local insurance office, IN
which he is now employed. Going to
his office, they were told that Zim-
norman had just left.
Up to late hour the warrant had
.net. sbeen served, the Sheriff being
!; E;i1tinalhslesto locate Zimmerman.

Where He Got Them,

Jones sat working at his desk when
a Hebrew flower peddler stuck his
head in at the door and asked if he
was going to the big Yale-Harvard
football game on the morrow at New
Haven, if so, he would guarantee for
81 a bunch of twice as many violets
as any one else.
The offer was taken, the violets
delivered and worn to the game by a
young lady who not only used them
that day but the following Sunday.
4 few days later the Hebrew again
called, and Jones said those yiolets
gave excellent satisfaction, but If you
have no objections I would like to
know how you were able to sell SO
many violets for so little morey on a
day when they command high price.
His reply was, II get 'em oil
corpses."

THE FOOD PLANTS OF BEES.

You naturally ask what bees feed on.
Well, there are the usual spring flowers
and some fruit blooms, then comes red
raspberry, and 1 want to say that the
bees were just swarming on it in the
woods Then comes white clover;
when 1t is at It's best, Eastwood begins
to bloom. The goldenrod is just open
ing; there are miles Of 1t. and sand
wiched in with 1t are catnip, milkweed,
thlstles, buckwheat, etc.
In short, tits wild feed instead OF
a cultivated one that we depend on.
Those having fields Of their own can
take advantage, Of adverse conditions
by seeding ground to honey-producing
plants which will produce crops OF
forage and hay nearly equal in value
to those now produced, and the added
honey obtained from them by the bees
will often more than balance any loss
otherwise.-F. G. Herman, in the
American Cultiyator.

CRIMSON CLOVER IN CORN.

T. E. c., n Pennsylvania subscriber,
writes me: I sowed crimson clover
seed In my corn 1T the last cultivation
Of the corn given in June. I sowed
it ahead Of the two horse cultivator,
run at the usual depth Of about two
inches. Do you think I covered it too
deeply, as it has failed to come up?
AS our season since the sowing OF
your crimson clover has been ideal for
the crop, much more so than it has
been for harvesting, am inclined to
think that the trouble lies not SO much
in your work as in the seed. Crimson
clover seed sown in Pennsylvania In
June was of necessity almost old seed.
Being old, it may have been last years
or some other years. I have frequent
ly sown year.old seed with perfectly
satisfactory results. have covered
good seed very lightly, covered it an
inch and covered it two inches or more,
in such a season rs the present, and
have noticed no difference between the
different depths; but my invarable rule
now is to cover it at least two inches
when possible.
In your case am sure the trouble was
in the low or nil vitality of the seed.
Sowing this clover at the laying by"
cultivation Of the corn saves labor,
and if it hits is all right, but when it
misses, the labor has been saved at a
cost Of loss of seed and the very much
greater loss Of the crop.
/ prefer waiting for the new crop
of seed, and give the corn special
working to cover the seed. am now
July 1S) sowing my seed in twenty
acres Of corn, and covering With q
one.horse harrow, expanded to I'LL
space between two rows Of corn. The
later sowing has one disadvantage
when the corn is large and storm has
blown it, q horse cannot be got through
and that field will miss It's clover and
have to put up with winter covering
OF rye.
Seeds often disappoint us. Last year
I bought more German millet seed than
got sown. One bag was carried over
to this year, kept in dry, warm room
in store. This year neighbor wanted
some mlllet seed quickly, and got two
bushels from my bag of old seed. He
sowed it in good ground, and has ab-
solutely no crop.-W. I. McSparran, in
Tribune Farmer.
