Negro Waylaid and Robbed.

Monday night Branchville was
treated to a sensation when it be-
came known that a man had been
held up and robbed after the most
approved style of highway robbery
near the town limits.
On last Monday Abraham Mays, a
hard working, respectable colored
farmer, who lives a few miles out of
town, brought in some cotton which
he sold, and pocketing his hard earn
ed dollars, he went to Sixty Six,
where he paid up a bill which he was
owing. About nine o'clock, as he
was coming back to Branchville in a
lonely and dark part Of the road a
little ways out of town he was start
led by the command, "Hands up!" In
another instant blow from heavy
club came crashing through the
darkness, telling the poor darky to
the ground. AS he arose pistol
was presented by one assailant,
while the other went through his
pockets, relieving him of all the
money he had left. He was then Or
dered to move on, and more dead
than alive, he finally reached town
and told his story.
No trace of the robbers could be
found. All the clue which he could
give to aid in the search for them
was that there were two men whom
he thought by what he could see Of
them, were white and had bearded
faces. So far they have not been
discovered.
A severe cash several inches long
above his left ear proves the severity
of the blow.-Branchville Journal.

NEGRO FIRES on OFFICER.
Ulysses Mays, Wanted for Murder in
Bamberg, Escapes.

DdulbcESs ISCtApSS.
Aiken, Dec. 24.-Yesterday Sher-
if RADON, Deputy Busbee, and
Messrs. Samuels, Weeks, Alderman,
and Cato formed posse who went
to arrest Ulysses Mays, negro
wanted for murder in Bamberg
county, and after fusillade of shots
the negro escaped and has not been
captured.
The officers learned that the negro
was located in this county and yes
terday they were informed that the
negro with his two brothers, Jake
and Wash, were coming certain
road toward Aiken. The posse was
quickly formed and they started to
meet them. When they got about
two miles from Aiken they stopped
and were disposing themselves by
the roadside to wait for them. Mr..
Cato went up the road about 100
yards and at turn Of the road he
met the three negroes face to face.
Ulysses Mays opened fire on him
with a pistol. His brothers lodged
to one side on either side of the road
in the bushes. This confounded Mr..
Cato, he thinking that the criminal 8
brothers would fire on him from the
bushes. Mr.. Cato fired four times
with Winchester rifle, but 80 far as
known none of the balls took effect.
BY this time the others of the posse,
hearing the shooting, rushed TO the
assistance of Mr.. Cato. Meanwhile
Ulysses Mays turned and fired be-
fore the other gentlemen arrived,
Mr.. Cato firing after him. The two
brothers were ordered to "hands
up," which they did. A pistol was
found on one of them, which, how
ever, he did not attempt to use.
They were lodged in jail late last
night.
Several of the posse returned to
the city about 8 o'clock last night,
while the rest followed the track OF
Mays for several miles, but could not
find him. He had got on a mule and
rode in the direction of Graniteville.
At a negro house near Graniteville
they found the mule which he had
left there. The mule was taken in
charge and was found to be one
that Mays stole from Mr.. Willis at
Elko. The mule is now in charge
of the authorities here. 1t is
thought that Mays escaped into
Georgia.
Mays is bad negro and it is not
believed here that he can be taken
alive unless a drop can be gotten on
him.

$4,000 on Six Mule Farm.

One of the most instructive exam
pies of what can be accomplished on
a small farm through the cultivation
of food crops almost to the complete
exclusion of cotton, Is afforded IN
the case of Sheriff F. G. Edwards, OF
Dougherty county, Ga.
During the crop year of 1908,
Sheriff Edwards, whose place is just
outside the corporate limits OF Al
bany, had under cultivation about
2O> acres of and. He had 60 acres
in vantaloupes, so acres in corn, 80
acres in oats and "a acres in cotton.
He cut hay from 40 acres. Ninety
of these acres were turned into hay
fields after the cantaloupes and oats
crops had been gathered, the other
fifty being sown in peas for hay.
Sheriff Edwards ran six plows. He
shipped eight cars of Rocky Ford
cantaloupes before the 1st of July,
and several more cars during the
first ten days of that month. He
gathered 1900 bushels of corn from
his 60 acres, and 1900 bushels OF
oats from 80 acres and he sold 100
tons of fine hay at an average price
of $14 a ton, and has on hand a
larger supply than he needs for his
own use. He also sold 200 bushels
of corn from his 60 acres, has sold
$3.50 worth of seed oats, and has a
large supply still on hand. His hay
was sold as soon as it was baled, and
there was no expense or deterlora-
ton on account of storage.
The net profit of the six-mule
farm for the crop year was $4,000
or $1,000 to the plow. The cultiva-
ton of cotton was distinctly side
ISSUE" 10 bales being gathered
from the "a acres cultivated. 1t was
sold at an average price of 81 cents
a pound. -,
Next year Sheriff Edwards will
not plant a cotton seed. He does
not believe cotton will be profit
able crop in 1909, but has every rea-
son to believe that food crops will
be. He will plant 80 acres in canta-
loupes, 65 acres of oats and SO acres
of corn, besides other smaller
patches. He will probably make
$50 to ITS tons of hay, and will sell
all his crops with as little difficulty
as he would experience in market
ing cotton at the ruling 1903 mar
ket price for that staple.
And Sheriff Edwards will not be
talking hard times in the fall OF
1909 But farmers who raise all cot
ton may have different tale to tell

HAD A HURRAH START.
Prof. and Mrs. Spencer Start Honey
moon Trip.

Spartanburg, Dec. 23.-Daring
students of Wofford College made a
bold attempt last night to kidnap
Prof. M. L. Spencer, who occupies
the chair, of English at Wofford Col
lege, to prevent him from taking his
honeymoon trip with his bride. The
bride and groom escaped the kid
nappers after the friends of the
groom had had a lively scufae with
students. Lady friends of the bride
used their umbrellas on the heads
of the students with telling effect.
Prof. and Mrs. Spencer were hurried
to an automobile and an exciting
trip was made through drenching
rain and muddy roads to a point six
miles out of the city, where they
took the train for Jacksonville. Prof.
Spencer and Miss Lois Hill, former
ly of Anderson, were married last
night at the residence of DR.. c. B.
Waller.

When the Weather Was Cold

An American and Scotchman
were discussing the cold experienced
in winter in the north of Scotland a
few Christmases ago.
"Why, it's nothing at all COM
pared to the cold we have in the
States" said the American. Il can
recollect one winter when sheep,
jumping from a hill-lock into a field,
became suddenly frozen on the way
and stuck in the air like a mass OF
ice."
"But, man." exclaimed the Scotch
man, "the law of gravity wouldn't
allow that"
"I know that" replied the tale
pitcher. "But the law of gravity
was frozen, too!'

SOUTH DAKOTA SCHOOL TEAcH

Eighty Persons From That state se'

Prizes for Numbers
Up to 5000.

Dallas. 8. D., Oct. 20.-More than
l14.OOO persons who have registereu
for the drawing Of farms on the ricn
Rosebud Indian reservation heard that
Miss May A. Helser, a Kennebec, ..
D.. school teacher, had been fortunate
to secure the first choice OF quarter
sections. The drawing was held 10
the big government tent and about u
900 persons who had registered re-
NAMED until the drawing Monday to
learn the result Of their attempt 70
secure one of the fine Indian farms.
Although most of the successful per.
sons to be included in the hrst lOO
numbers camc from South Dakota, Ne
braska and Iowa, there were several
from other states, Illinois, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Missouri and Kansas be-
ing particularly favored. Two chi
cagoans got within the first hundred,
and four Omaha applicants we're also
in that favored list.
The drawing was conducted In the
best of order, although there was In
tense interest. Persons had registered
from every state in the Union and
most Of them returned to their homes
to await the result Of the drawing.
Judge Wltten has already placed q
force of clerks at work notifying
every person who registered OF the
order in which he will come In the
selection Of lands. There are about
5000 farms Of 100 acres each to be
parceled out and with the lapses that
usually follow, 1t Is probable that per
sons drawing numbers below 5000
will have an interest in the reserVa
ton.
After the first 50 numbers were
drawn the little girls who had made
the fIrst selections gave way to reg
uiar clerks and the drawing was ther
carried out under Judge Witten'i
supervision by the government en-
ployes.
There were l,72s numbers drawn
Monday. A hard rain set in during
the afternoon and soaked the big tent
and the 1000 persons waiting To Learn

One Of the most sue
cessful "GarIand" features,
heretofore used exclusive
" in the more expensive
grades, and which has been
placed in this stove, is the

Of air is so regulated that
the coal and gases are uni
formly consumed, produc-
