REV. DIR. cHRE1TzBERa Is Hi
Venerable Preacher of the South
Carolina Conference Sustained
- aFall and Fracture.

Thousands of friends in South
Carolina will be panied to learn OF
the serious illness Of the venerable A.
NJ. Chreitzberg, the oldest member OF
the South Carolina conference, and
perhaps the oldest preacher in the
state.
DR.. Chreitzberg stepped from the
bottom step Of the stairs at his homo
on Hampton avenue Thursday night
and received serious injuries on MS
right hip and left shoulder. A care
full examination by consulting physl-
clans yesterday resulted, in the an
aouncement that there had been a
fracture of the hip bone.
This will be very serious matter
for DR.. Chreitzberg, as ne IS very
much advanced in year$ and it Will
mean a lingering illness, even should
he survive the shock Of setting the
broken member.
On the 18th Of this month Dr.
Chreitzberg will be 81 years Of age,
and all but 19 of the years Of that
long career have been given to the
ministry Of the Methodist church
and to the vigorous, forceful, and
successful preaching Of the Word.
For So years he had an active con-
nection with the conference, having
been placed on the superannuated
relation in 1892. He has twice rep
resented the South Carolina confer
eace in the general conferences OF
1873 and 1856 and has written
number of pamphlets which are re-
eardsd as a part Of the best lltera-
ture Of the South Carolina confer
ence. Among other publications
from his pen is a history of the con-
ference.

After making a rush start, the
painter asked permission to hang out

and he put up a conspicuous an,
nouncement over the front porch:
"These premises being painted by

Then the work dragged. He came

A Valuable Reversal.

There is a young artist in Wash
inston who classes himself as OF the
impressionistic school, and who, be-
ING somewhat out in drawing, ge1-
orally makes up for his lack of tech
nique by spreading color resklessly
and counting on distance for his et-:
feet.
At an amateur exhibition he once
hung one of his most extraordinary
performances.
"Well,': said a friend, waom the
artist had taken to see the work, 81
dn7't want to flatt7r you. old chap,
but that is far and away the best
stuff you have ever done. I co1gra-
tulate you.'

ceiving the compliment with beeom-
ing modesty, when he chaneed again
to glance at the picture turned
very red. The committee had hung
it upside down!
Hurryiog to the head Of the COM
mittee. he was about to launch into
a loud complaint, when ne was IN
formed of the good news that an
hour before the picture had been
sold for $751;. The original price
mark had been $19.-Eppincott's.

The Old Hen Dies Peacefully After
% Years-Pleasant Enter

Pomaria, December 9.-An enter
tainment was given Friday night in
the Bethel school house by some Of
the boys Of Prosperity. A fairly
good crowd was present, and tho
show is spoken Of as having been
very creditable.
Mr.. John Sullivan, Of Honea
Path, spent several days very pleas
antlv here this last week. It is re-
ported that some Of the young men
of Pomaria are not so anxious for
him to return.
A large congregation was present
at Bethlehem church yesterday to
hear an excellent sermon by the pas
tor, Rev. J. J. Long.
The frequent rains recently have
interfered seriously with the sowing
Of oats. Some of the farmers in this
community had just begun to SOW
when the rainy weather commenced,
and if the rains continue, further
sowing will have to be postponed un-
til spring.
Pomaria can no longer boast Of tho
Oldest hen in the state. Mr.. W. Q.
Hipp, of this place, had a hen to die
on Thanksgiving day, that was in her
28th year. While it seems incredi-
bic that a nen should live to this
age, yet there can be no question Of
the fact in this case, for it is vouch-
ed for by Mr.. Hipp himself in whose
possession the hen has been all the
time. An even more remarkable fact
is that sne continued to lay up to
the very last year Of her life, haV-.
ing laid five or six eggs last spring.

menr in sending out the agents to
instruct the farmers is to give them
the benefit Of the compilations Of all
the experiments made upon a given
crop bv the experiment stations and
to put these experiments to the test
on the land of the farmers in the
state.
Preparation of Soil.
Before the experiments are actual
" put into force the soil has to be
prepared under direction Of the de-
partment's agents. For this the
farmer is instructed by the agents
Of the department also. The prepara-
ton Of the soil is to take place in the
fall so that the land will be ready
for the work in the spring. The
plcwing done in the early fall AID
inter cultivation is for
the purpose Of doing for the soil
what the colder climate of the north
does for its land-opens it sufficl emit
ly to admit the air. .
The bulletin of DR.. Knapp gives
the following advice along this line
and this will be read with interest
by the farmers throughout the state:
"In the richest soils there is but l1t-
tie food ready prepared for the
plant. and natures plan is that this
food shall be prepared more or less
dailv by the action of the air, the
moisture in the soils and by the sun.
These three active forces make ready
the food so the plant can be properly
nourished. This can not be done
without plowing and cultivatlng to
admit the air, and the earlier this
work is commenced in the fall the
greater the effect it will have upon
the crop of the following season.
:'The effect Of using good seed IS
not sufficiently appreciated, nor per-
haps is it understood just what
makes good seed. 1t must be the
best variety, carefully selected, ear
ly in the fall and stored IN a dry
place. In passing through the sta
tes we find very little Of the corn tit
for seed, because the rain has water
soaked the cob and injured the
germs. In many cases it has even
caused decay in portion Of the
kernel. This could nave been pre-
vented had the seed corn been gath
cred in August or September. Our
reasons for very frequent cultlVa-
ton has been explained above, to
wit: The admission of air, the con-
servation IF moisture in the soil and
the prevention Of surface crust. The
farmer may say that this frequent
cultivation is so mucn work for moth
ing, but he will find, in case Of cot-
ton, in the fall, that his plants have
fruited closer to the ground and
have put On a good many more ear
ly bolLs than they would have done
had he pursued the ordinary meth
DDS: and corn will set more ears. s."
The bulletin gives other valuable
advice to the farmers along the line
of the applying of fertilizers and
what should be done under boil wee
vii conditions. The department and
it's agents are very much pleased with
the result Of the work thus far. Mr..
Jenkins stated yesterday that he had
met with words Of encouragement
from every farmer he had visited and
all were ready to cooperate with him.
He believes that the work Of the
Farmers Cooperative demonstration
will accomplish much for the far
mers in this state and it will be
largely through their own efforts al
so.
