Prcmlses to RevolutioniEe Farming;
J. Departure From Old Methods.
More attention is being paid to
farming in Spartanburg ctunty along
scientific lines and advanced methods
at present than ever before in the
history of the county, for many Of
the farmers, like men In the CONNER

methods and are adopting progressive
customs, realizing that II they would

keep abreast of the times.
P;owipg by steam and pulling
stumpS from the fields is now the
order of the day, for it has been found
that a steam plow will perform the
work of twenty. five hands and mules,
and a machine that will do as much
as five men In less than half the Tune.
A. B. Groce. Of Wellford, is the
first farmer IN Spartanhurg to use the
steam plow; and E. L Archer, Ct
Cherokee Springs, has the dis tirc ion
OF owning the only ma chine in the
county for pulling stumps. Both OF
these gentlemen ere perfectly satisfied
with their Investments. Mr.. Archer
declares that be would not be without
mis- stump puller for three times the
money he paid for it. 1t ccst him
$40 and it will pull a stump from the
ground In ten minutes. II would
take three men fully an hour to dig
up an average size stump

The discs are "a inches in diameter,

AaAKERs WAHF PARDON..
Alleged That Many Have Signed
Their Petition Through Fear.

We clip the following from the c.
lumbIs Stste of last f iday:
Tits reported here that J B. Anna
ker and Abe AmRker have not get
been sent to jail in 0 sngeburg to
serve sentence for having acted tn 8
,iotous manner at picnic in Oan-
geburg county last April. Abe Anna
ksr is said to be q bad mar, but his
brother, John Buuyan Amaker. or
Chicken" . maker, is represented TO
be a toll of uis older brother.
Prominent people have written to
Gov. Heyward-uader appeal that
their names be kept IS sscret-and have
begged him not to rel,ase the ANA
kers IG appears that the convicted
men, instead Of being put to serving
their sentences, are going about ge6-
ting up petitions in their own behalf.
It is represented to Gov. Heyward
chat a great maby people have signed
these petitions through fear.
These are white men OF some
means. Cleveland Hooker, another
white man, is to serve a sentence c1
5wu years. the same length Cf term
Civ q the Amakers. Two. negroes
we're given ls months each. They
were convicted OF having attacked
some white man at the picnic while
Abe Amaker backed up the negroes
snd covered the white men with re-
vo,ver."
We heard some time ago that Pc
tition for tte pardon of the men men
uionei In the above article WAS being
circu' a, I'd In the Fork by some one,
but we did not hear the names OF the
persons who we're circulating the petit
tion in their bsfalf. The report tina,
the Anna kers aud Hooker are still al
large Is a mistake. They are nov ir
prison serving their term, but they
nope to b pard,ned, which is very un
likely. The imprisonment Of these
men fall heavily on their wives, VIII
had no'part whatever in tie crime fol
when they were cor cted. This II
always the sad feature Of case like
this. Men should think of their wivel
and children when they are tempted
to do things for which they will b'
.uniahed.

A staff correspondent Of The Asso.

special study of the blind tiger siuua-
tlon in Charleston makes an investl.
eating report on "the fruitage of Law.
lessness and corruption in the wake Of
the State saloon system" BE says:
There are 400 Federal tax receipts
of 'retails liquor dealers and retail
dealers in malt liquors now in force
In South Carolina.
Including those that have been
voted out during the past year, there
are 107 regular and thirty six beer
dispensaries in the State. This leaves
a total cf 326 blind tigers in the
State that hold q Federal tax receipa
for selling liquor. There are, there
fore, nearly TWO and half times as
many blind tigers In the State as
legal selling establishments.
'Thess 143 dlspensariesin the State
represent but ninety -one towns and
cities where liq lor has been legally
sold during the past year. In twenty
Of these places, the people have voted
out the grcgshops, so that there are
now but seventy -one SOwns and cities
where into1icants are legally sold.
"a most striking feet comes to the
surfg co OF this blind tiger situation:
OF the 1926 blind tigers Of the State
only twenty. nine are to found In pro

as the correspondent makes out for
the dispenbary counties, which are
trying TO enforce the law. The cor

The habilaT Cf the tax receipt

which pay the tax rt csipt, most OF
th' m being located within pistol shot
of tue capitol bulliing and lying In

Concerning Charleston, the point
from which he writes, the correspond

The Tramp.

The curse of the nan who will not
work has always been with us. In
Henry Wills reign he was not allow
ed to beg the bread that belonged to
honest folk, for a statute was made
by which the old and impotent were
granted licenses to beg, and any one
found begging without n was sound
ly fiogged and sent home to his own
parish. In this way as many as a
hundred in one day in Elizabeth's
time were sent back to the land"
The begging license seems to work
well enough abroad, where the row of
authorized beggars is a familiar sight
outside every church and where the
halt and manned are seldom seen any
where else. The rise Of the vagrant In
England no doubt took place after the
destruction Of the monasteries and be-
fore any other relief giving body o
their place.-London Chronicle.
