Kansas City, as many would buy on
the homeward trip after taking more
time to consider the matter. It is
safe to estimate that the Geo. H.
Paul Co.. will sell on this big exctir-

spectators, as perhaps many suppose.
main at Robstown permanently. A
Caller representative who spent last
Saturday at Robstown saw several
cars of household goods being un-
loaded and inquiry developed the in

by that not one or more cars arrived
at Robstown containing the house

A glance over the prairies from the
station platform at Robstown will
show new buildings erected, or in the
course of erection, in every direction.

supply the demand for building ma

disc store is doing rushing busi-
ness at this thriving little city at the
junction of two railroads.
In talking with the homeseekers
representative found that the people
from the north were Of very high
class of citizenship. Lawyers, doct-
ors. editors, clergymen, merchants and
farmers were included among the
number and none of them but were
intelligent enough to know good
thing when they saw it. And that is
why so many of them invested In
land, for no one with q grain Of sense
who examines the land at Robstown
and familiarizes himself with the con-
ditions will fail to realize that It is
all that Is claimed for it-a land OF
promise and wonderful possibilities.
There Is, perhaps, no land company
in the United States better or more
thoroughly Organized that the Geo.
H. Paul Co. This company has
agents and representatives scattered
all over the northern states whose
duty it Is to interest homeseekers and
try of Texas. Since the 27th Of
April, 1908, the company has sold
nearly 5000 acres of land in the
Taft ranch. besides the land sold out
of the Driscoll pasture at Robstown
and scattered tracts throughout the
state. The company's headquarters
are at Washington. Ia. with a branch
office IN this city and one in San

Stabbed to His Shoulder.

Mr.. J. L. Stacy, of the Glover
neighborhood, brought to The En-
quirer Office on Wednesday a flesh
creeping exhibit in the shape of a
piece of plank an inch thick, three
inches wide and about three feet
long that had just figured in a sur
prising but unexplainable tragedy.
When his brother, Star NJ. Stacy,
went into his stable last Saturday
morning, he found the piece OF plank
protruding from the neck of one OF
his mules. 1t was a terrifying
sight and at first he did not know
what to make of it. On realizing the
trouble, however, Mr.. Stacy began to
extract the piece of plank and after
considerable difficulty he drew it out,
and found that it had been buried in
the mules neck to depth of nine
teen inches. The piece of plank had
been used as a brace to a manger,
and it is thought that the mule had
come in contact with it on attempt
ing to rise from the ground. To look
at the horrible piece of wood it seems
impossible that it could have been
buried in a mules shoulder to such
depth without producing death,
either instantly or in very short
while. The mule however, seems to
be getting along very we'll and looks
as if it will recover.-Yorkville En-
quirer.

A Sunny Husband.

A sunny husband makes merry,
beautiful home, worth having, worth
working in and for. If the man is
breezy, CHEEKY, considerate and SYM
pathetic, his wife sings in her heart
over her puddings and her mending
basket, and renews her youth in the
security she feels of his appreciation
and admiration. You may think it
weak and childish if you please, but
it is the admired wife who hears
words of praise and receives smiles
of commentator, who is capable,
discreet, and executive. have seen
a timid, meek, self-distrusting little
body fairly bloom into strong, self
reliant womanhood under the tonic
and cordial of companionship of a
husband who really went out of his
way to find occasion for showing her
how fully he deferred to her his
opinion.-Christian Work.

Remember the Orphans.

Attention is called to the concert
of action among the orphan fnstt-
tutions of South Carolina with re-
gard to a special work day effort
Saturday, September rs, next.
Thornwell Orphanage, Connie Max
we'll Orphanage and Epworth Or
phanage have definitely planned for
the success of the day and are circu-
lating literature upon the subject.
We presume that every orphan insti-
tuition, of whatever size or under
whatsoever auspices, will be glad to
have it's friends remember it on this
day.
This plan is simple enough. Let
every boy and girl, every man and
woman, young and old, devote the
income of the day to the Orphanage
of his choice Some of the children
may pick cotton, others may gather
up old iron and sell it, some will do
odd jobs, others will devote their
salary or wages of that day to the
care of the orphans.
Coming down to the plain truth,
is there any cause that warns the
cookies of the heart like the plea
for the fatherless? Let all the peo-
pie join in the work day effort Sep.
rs, and roll up big amount fol
the orphans, and forward the same
to such institution as each may Sc
lect.

Crimson Clover a Great Forage and
Soil Improver.

We have been growing crimson
clover for a number of years Tor
grazing purposes, and find it very
valuable crop for the purpose. We
SOW in the fall, preferably about the
first of October, mixed with rye,
rust-proof oats and a little rape. The
rape is some winters killed by the
cold, but furnishes excellent grazing
while it lasts. 1t grows rapidly and
IS ready to turn on long before the
lover or grain amounts to anything.
..e grain is put in with grain drill,
:. bushel per acre, with two or three
ounds of rape seed mixed with It.
The clover is sometime put in at
the same time, using the grass seed
ing attachment on the drill, or sew
ed broadcast after the grain and Gov
cred by running over it with weed
er, using Is pounds, or one peck, per
acre. The clover seed costs usually
about 81 per bushel delivered at our
farm, making the seeding a very
economical one compared with other
legumes, or any other grazing crop
except rape.
We find that it will grow to some
extent on any kind of land, no mat
ter how poor. On poor land, the
first year it is shown the plants will
be scattering and make weak, sick
lyly growth, due we think to the lack
of humus and, what is just as 1mpor-
tant, incubation. The same land, If
sown the second fall, will make a
much better growth, the stand being
good and showing much thr1ftler
growth and better color. Sow this
same land the third fall and you will
have a piece Of land that will grow
profitable crops of anything.
AS an experience in early sowing,
last year in laying by a piece of up
land corn on July 9th, sowed one
bushel Of cowpeas and one peck OF
crimson clover per acre. Manure had
been put on this field in the spring
with manure spreader at the rate of
9 loads per acre. There was a slight
shower about noon of the 9Th, stop
ping the work for that day, and the
sowing and laying-by we're finished
on the 10th. From that time until
in. October, after the corn was cut
and in the shock, not drop of rain
fell, the weather at times being very
hot, making very unfavorable cond1-
tions for the crimson clover. The
peas, of course, grew and the clover
terminated nicely and for few days
looked we'll, but a hot spell came
on and it almost disappeared and /
about concluded that such an early
sowing would not do. But when the
fon ond cnn1or Upofhlrt Spf In
that clover sprang up as by magic
and the field is now beautiful sight,
knee high and a mass of bloom

PRONOUNCE NEGRO INSANE.
End of Case Against Bob Ellerbe IL
Bennettsville.

Bennettsville, Sept. 6.-Bob Eller-
be the negro man who was lodged in
Jail here last Friday evening on ac-
count of his misconduct, insulting
white woman. was pronounced in
sane by Drs. Faison and Woodley to-
day. He has been in Jail since last
Friday, held for investigation and
safe keeping. The first reports al
legged an attempt assault, but the
facts showed that he did not come
near enough to the woman to touch
her, and his general bearing did not
seem brutal or ferocious. The neces-
sary papers have been forwarded to
Columbia, and as soon as possible he
will be taken to the Hospital for the
Insane.

OPPOSE INVESTIGATION.
Parents of Mrs. Bigham Do Not Wish
to Punish Slayers.

Georgetown, Sept. 9.-Mr. NJ. B,
Crisp, father of the unfortunate lady
who was shot at Sunnyside, Murrell's
Inlet, Saturday night, and NJ. L.
Crisp, her brother, arrived in the
city yesterday to make further in
quiries as to the manner of her
death. The Crisp home is at Mount
vile, Florence county, Mr.. Crisp be-
ing a prominent farmer of that sec
ton. The family consists of the
mother and nine children, five boys
and four girls. Ruth, the oldest OF
the girls, was a graduate of Chicora
College, Greenville, S. c., where she
was most highly esteemed for her
character and attainments, becoming
an accomplished musician. In June,
one year ago, when but % years old,
she was happily married to DR.. G. G.
Bigham, a son of the late State Sena-
tor Smiley Bigham, of Florence coun-
ty. Mr.. Crisp and his son exhibited
intense sorrow over the terrible ca
lamity which had befallen their de-
voted home circle, in the untimely
death of the beloved daughter, Sis
ter and wife. They showed no signs
of resentment against the men who
unwittingly slew her, but expressed
keen sympathy for the bereaved hus-
band, who, they said, had always ap-
peared to be devoted to his wife.
They were strongly opposed to any
further investigation being made as
to the causes leading up to Mrs. Big
hams death, feeling satisfied that
the reports given by Mr.. w. B. Avant
and DR.. Bigham were substantially
correct.

Two Hurt in Shooting ARRAY.

Greenville, September 1.-Two
white men, Ralph Mccall, and Robert
Duncan, were brought to the city late
last night, the former cut so badly
that it is feared he will die, the lat
ter seriously shot through the right
breast. The men were wounded in a
row at Stradleyville, about mile
from the city limits. Details Of the
affair cannot be learned so far, but
the sheriff and deputy are at the
scene of the trouble making investi-
cations. Mccall is so badly cut up
that he was unable to make any state
ment. The parties who brought the
wounded men to the city claim to
know nothing of the affair.

Cotton Goods More Active.

New York, Sept. 5.-The next re-
suit of the publication of an unex-
pectedly low crop condition on the
market for cotton goods and yarns
was a steadying of prices and a no.
ticeable increase in the desire OF
large operators to close all pending
deals for goods to be delivered on
contract.
While jobbers have not been able
to bring cotton goods prices up to a
parity of the values prevailing in the
primary market, they are generally
convinced that a higher level will
have to be paid for new stocks. The
local jobbers had good week, a
special sale of dress brocades result
ing in distribution of quarter of
million dollars worth of fall fab

How She Stumped Colorado.

It happened that 1 was the first
woman who stumped the State o1
Colorado, says Minnie ]. Reynolds
in The Delineator for October. We
had no idea whatever that voting i'm
piled making campaign speeches
But the first election after we got
the vote was a very exciting one
Waite's second campaign-and the
men of all parties scurried hithel
and yon to find women who would
take the stump. The sex has never
been accused of backwardness in the
use of it's tongue, but with painful
unanimity it refused to stand on a
platform and talk to an audience.
had had a tiny bit of experience in
the suffrage campaign, and for want
of better my party put me on the
stump.
I travelled over two thousand miles
that Fall of '94, and still stumped
only the mountainous western half
of the State. 1 stumped afterward
in two other campaigns, but it is that
first one which remains fresh in
memory.
But wherever 1 went I was sure OF
two things-a full house and an en-
thusiastic audience. However it
may be now, in that first campaign
people of all political faiths would

her party. The people of Colorado
are glad to hear woman speaker;
eager to listen, pleased to applaud.
Wherever I went I found kind
friends and audiences, warm West
ern hospitality. Politics were dis
cussed morning, noon and night.
The women talked politics over
their sewing, their dish-washing, and
their afternoon calls. They pro-
Cured sample ballots and practice: :.
marking them at little club meetings
in their homes, solemnly deposittng
them in the dish-pan in lieu of a
ballot box, of which it was difficult
to get a sample. may be preju-
diced, but it seems to me this is val
liable, in a self-governing country.
Everywhere that first Fall, found
the presence of women in the polit-
ical arena welcomed as g. matter of
course by the men. There was that
matter-of-factness about it which has
impressed every visitor who has ever
been to the State since to study the
question. When the central COM
mittee at Denver announced that it
was sending woman speaker from
the capital, the women were. in
special fettle. The meeting was
turned over to them. They decor
ated the hall, they met the speaker.
They entertained her in their homes.

The Truth About Mary.

Here's an obituary notice, taken
from a Missouri paper:
"While it is almost crime to speak
ill of the dead, we feel it our duty to
tell the truth about Mrs. Mary Bower,
who died last night. She never
spoke a decent word of any person
living or dead, and SANDER was the
Joy of her life. If she goes to heaven
we don't want to be there, and we be-
lieve we voice the sentiment of very
man, woman and child in this town.
We will gladly contribute quarter
for ice for Mary. She will need it. !"
