Farmer Shot and Killed by Negro
Tenant

Denmark special in Columbia
State, June 6: J. A. Nix.
farmer living near Denmark.
was shot and instantly killed
this morning by Isadore MINI
mons, negro tenant. Mr.. Nix
had let crop to two negro
women, and the women had
hired NimmonS to do the plow-
ing. Early this morning Nix
went to the negroes cabin to get
them out to work.
1t seems that he used force
with one of the women. who
called Nimmons to her relief.
NimmOns rushed in and shot Nix
through the neck without giving
any warning and again through
the body as he fell out of the
door. Nix has been given trouble
by the negroes many times. and
it became known today that
Nimmons had threatened in the
earlier part of the week to com
NIT the crime and had prepared
himself for it. The news of the
tragedy spread rapidly and soon
hundreds of citizens and officers
of the law with bloodhounds
were in pursuit of the negro.

A Fine Disquisition on the Viola.
tion of a Divine Command
by Those Who Make Gods

and Power.

The following splendid essay
was read by Miss Callie Sowell, /,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. ii. N.
Sowell, of Lancaster, at recent
meeting of the Baptist Young
Peoples Union, and cheerfully
published by request 'oi the
Union:
"Thou shalt have no other
Gods before me". This COM
mandment was given the child
rem OF Israel thousands of years
ago, but it is given and is just as
applicable to us today as it was
to them in that day. We need
it, too, but let us be optimistic
enough to say certainly no worse.
IL is true that we do not bow
down literally to craven images,
Tor the standard attained by our
civilization prevents that, but are
not many of US idol worshipers?
Have we no other gods before
Him? Let us consider.
First, let US take lame and
worldly power. How many of
us do not strive to be heroes in
our own little world al Least.
And how often we forget the old
Latin maxim, "Nihil magnum
nisi bonum". History tells us
of one who resolved that he would
have all his senses gratified al
one and the same time, and he
expended thousands of dollars on
each sense. He entered room
and there were the finest musicians
Of the land pleasing his ear, and
there were fine pictures fascinating
his eye. and there were costly
aromatics regaling his nostrils
and there were the richest wines
and meats and CONNECTIONS pleas

he would have all such if it cost
him his soul. And it did Cyrus

Organize Club and Will Give
Benefit Dance Next
Wednesday.

That the fans at mine No. 2 will
be right in the field for base ball
honors the coming season is shown
by the fact that they have already
organized a nine which includes
material known to be of a classy
order. They have elected as their
manager Henry Fletcher, the father
of base ball in Roundup, who altho
getting along pretty well in years,
is still there when it comes to de-
livering the goods. Besides being
manager Henry will occupy pro-
minent position on the diamond to
inspire confidence in his men. The
lineup includes Joe Cherry, Earl
Fletcher and Bill and Jim kibble,
all of whom played with the Round
up team last year and who distin-
guished themselves by their clever
work. In addition to these they
have two new men, Robert Sparling
and Claud Reed. The latter is said
to be some pumpkins in the center
OF the diamond. Two men remain
to be picked.
The boys will give a benefit dance
in the hall over the new store at No

"KNuCK" RAY TO
MANAGE BALL TEAM
Will See That Roundup Has Z
Team That Will Bring Home
the Grapes Every Time

At the base ball meeting held
last Saturday evening, "Knuck" Ray
was unanimously elected to manage
the Roundup team the coming sea-
son. Mr.. Ray is one Of the most
enthusiastic supporters Of the nat
ional game in the city and has
always given freely Of his time and
substance to keep up interest in
base ball. With him in charge as
manager Roundup can rest assured
that it will have one Of the best ag-
gregations of ball tossers in this
section of the state.
Speaking to The Record man
'Knuck' said, I'VE are starting out
this season with one purpose in view
and that is to have the best bunch
of players to represent our town it
will De possible to procure. Round
up already has some classy players
who will take back seat for none,
and if necessary these will be sup
plemented by hired men. The boys
are showing a good deal of enthus-
iasm and are getting ready for the
first try-out Sunday. Our line up
will not be made for some time,
but you can depend upon it being
a swift one. Mark me, we'll bring
home the grapes every time this
summer and we'll go after the big
juicy ones, too"
Manager Ray will take the boys
out Sunday afternoon for the initial
warm-up, and requests that all those
who wish to make a try for the
team should be there.

learned, is not the case. Citizens

Not Strictly That,

Look here" said the excited man
as he turned the corner and bumped
into a friend, I'm glad I met you.
There's a man in doorway back here
that says he doesn't believe you ever
hunted lions in Africa"
''Oh, he says that, does he?"
He does, and he's mighty plain
about it. He says he'll bet you ten to
five you never saw Africa in your life"
''Hu! He is talking pretty loud"
Eyes, he is; and he said if / could
find you he'd call you liar to your
facet"
'Hu! By George!"
"And We'll go right back there and
bluff him to a standstill. You were in
Africa, of course, and shot lions there.
I've heard you say So"
'But, you see"
We'll bluff him sky-high."
But, you see, you misunderstood
me-"
''As how? Didn't you say Africa and
lions?"
Well, not exactly that. I said I
had shot at wolves in Montana, and so
l have, and if the man says l haven't
you have my permission to call him
all sorts of liars. Excuse me, but ]
must be at the Office at ten."

Hothed for Sweet Potatoes.

A good and easy way for making
a hotbed for sweet potatoes and when
to plant them is to make the bed
prefectly fiat and a good size is 6x1e
feet. Put the manure in hot, and pack
uniformly. 1t should be about one
foot in depth after it is well packed.
When frame is set on the bed, shake
in enough manure to make four inches
more after it is thoroughly packed as
before. Then fill the frame nearly
full of good mellow earth. The best
soil for this purpose is well rotted
leaf mold, and it should be at least
seven inches deep. Cover the bed
with straw to the depth of eight or
ten inches, and above this make roof
of light boards, with slope enough to
carry off the water. The bed should
be prepared about one month before
the plants will be needed, which
would make the time between the
first and the middle of May.

KEEPING PROFITABLE cows.
Many Kept in Iowa That Do Not
Pay for Their Feed and
Care.

A dairy authority in Iowa asserts
that there are hundreds and hundreds
of cows kept for dairy purposes in
Iowa which do not yield sufficient to
pay for the feed which they consume,
for they consume as much feed as do
the profitable ones and require as
much time and care in milking.
There was time when the dairy
COW was not expected to milk for more
than six months in the year, but with
the present high prices for labor and
feed this condition of affairs can. no
longer profitably exist
The lactation period should be at
least nine months in length. The
amount OF milk COW should produce
to be profitable is variously stated at
from 5000 to 5000 pounds annually,
or sufficient to yield from 200 to 240
pounds of butter fat This should
vary, of course, with the locality, price
of labor, feed, etc. However, 1t is
safe to say that a COW with reasonably
good care, that does not produce the
lesser of these amounts is not a profit
uOlC ICJ lOW q pOASChI-
age of so-called dairy cows will stand
this test?
In order to determine accurately a
cows usefulness as a dairy animal 1t
is well to weigh one days milk every
week or ten days during the lactation
period. At the same time sample
should be taken for testing. The time
of freshening should also be noted in
order to determine the length of the
lactation period.
The same authority asserts that it is
a good plan to keep a book account
with each COW, charging her with cost
of feed consumed and labor expended,
and credit her with value of milk and
calf. In this way it will not be diff
cult to pick out the non-paying in
dividualS.
