Hoy had been kept in ignorance OF
Carter's presence and testimony
When brought into the room where
the inquest was held, Hoy denied
that he knew W. F. Carter, denied
having borrowed the 5 cents and de-
MED that he came into Columbia be-
fore 1l:30 in the morning, and swore
positively that he did not take the
car that morning.

fronted Hoy, identifying him at
once. Hoy then admitted that he mad

that it had been in the afternoon.
Hoy gave a rather indistinct ac-
count Of his movements in Columbia,
but it was brought out that he pawn
ed a pair Of shoes to Goldstein for
81, got quart of X liquor for 50
cents and then went home. He could
prove by Steve Gardner that it was
$50 in the afternoon. He claimed to
have the pawn ticket at home. He
said that he and Jim Gardner had
| bought a quart Of whiskey in the
morning and he had bought this 9TH

or three times.

every day? A. No, sir.
Q. Seemed to be worried that day?
A. Had nothing to worry me.
@. You and Gardner didn't usual
ly come up that many times a day
and drink, did you? A. No.
The other witnesses examined
Thursday night threw no light on
the subject except that a negro wo-
man named Scylla Moore testified
that very early the morning of the
homicide she saw a man at the Shan
don pavilion and when he saw her
and another woman approaching he
turned his back. She could dot iden-
tify him.
A young man named MontZ testi-
fed that jim Gardner had had 81
calibre pistol.

night that he will urge Gov. Ansel to
increase the amount of reward offer
ed from 500 to $3.50. The city has

The St. Matthews correspondent
Of The State says more agitation on
the subject of a new county has been
conducted by the various county pa
pers and their correspondents than
by people who are most interested.
We came to this same conclusion a
short time ago, and concluded so far
as The Times and Democrat is con-
cerned to suspend discussion of the
matter until something definite is
known about the proposed scheme.
After the survey is made and the
lines are established will be time
enough for ali the discussion needed.
We can find more readable stuff for
our columns just at this time.

Feeding Chickens Turpentine.

TuTpentine given to chickens tn-
ternally Is said to be one Of the best
remedies for timber neck. The tur.
pentine not only acts es cure, but
as preventive as well. Bread pills
soaked IN turpentine is the best way
to give it. An ordinary full grown
chicken may be given turpenttne q
teaspoonful at time, but the ez-
pertinent Is rather dangerous as the
fowl may strangle. Consequently the
turpentine should be given In the
feed.

When to Haul Manure.

Several Of the State experiment sta
lions have shown by their tests loss of
fertility in barn and stable manure by
the old methods of handling 1t, which
suggest the Importance Of daily or
weekly hauling and spreading on the
fields. The latest experiments made by
the Ohio station prove that when ma
nure was thrown into the open barn
yard and permitted to lie there for
five months before being hauled to the
field it had a value of $2.40 per ton.
When drawn directly to the field as
fast as 1t was made the value was
1925 per ton. When the manure was
sprlnkled with ground phosphate rock
as fast as it was made in the stable,
thus preventing some loss Of ammonia,
the value was $5.1S per ton.
The claim is made that at least one
third of the value of the manure is lost
as 1t is usually put on the land with a
fork and that ten loads put on with a
manure spreader go as far and do as
much good as fifteen loads put on in the
old-fashioned, careless way.

In Texas, stored 1000 pounds of horse
mint honey in one season. But this Is
decidedly exceptional. Fifty pounds Of
comb honey OF 100 Of extracted would
be considered a good average yield.
The latter sells, at wholesale, from 4
to Z cents a pound, and retails at about
10 cents. Comb honey WHOLESALERS from
10 to 10 cents pound, and retails at
about 16 cents a pound.
But agriculture does not live to itself
alone. 1t has been proved, beyond the
shadow of a doubt, that many crops of
fruits, vegetables and grain are greatly
improved, both In quantity and quail
lty, by the agency of the bees in bring
ing about perfect fertilization Of the
blossoms. Some flowers remain abso-
lutely sterile unless pollen is conveyed
to them by some mechanical means
from some other blossoms. In the sweet
springtime when the wide-spreading
branches of the apple trees are almost
hidden by masses Of pink and white
promises Of future fruitfulness, many
of us do not realize that all of this
beauty, this sweet perfume, the tiny
drops of nectar nesting among the
petals, are a part of natures plan for
