PLOUGHING WITH DYNAMITE.
caldwell Plan" Of Preparing Land
Attracts Interest.

A Columbia dispatch says Mr.. Ira
W. Williams, in charge of the gov
ernment's farm demonstration work
in this State, will not undertake to
discuss for publication the practica,
bility of the cultivative methods OF
J. Henry Caldwell, the Dynamite
farmer" of Spartanburg, but con-
tents himself with saying that Mr..
Caldwell's crop, which he recently
inspected is such as to give Mr.. Cald'
well good chance Of winning tho
State corn-led prize.
Capt. Chas. Petty. Well-known
Spartanburg authority on agricultur-
al matters, thinks the Caldwell
scheme utterly impractical and apt
to do irreparable damage TO the land.
Mr.. Caldwell planted his corn on
Good Friday. The land was broke
with small sticks of brown or yell
low dynamite, planted two feet deep
in holes four feet apart IN both
directions.

FOUND COOKS RECORDS.

Back Atop Mt. Mckinley.

That DR.. Frederick A. Cook, whose
claims to have discovered the north
pole have been discredited the world
over, did, as he claims, reach the
top of Mount Mckinley Is the state
ment made at Colorado Springs.
Col, Thursday by P. ]. Carrigan, a
seaman and placer miner from Alas
ka. Carrigan, whose story is con-
sidered by Dr.. Cooks former back
er, John R. Bradley. extremely
plausible, declares that he himself
assembled the mountain and found
the copper tube and records left
there by DR.. Cook. After examining
the records and American flag in the
tube Carrigan restored it to the
niche in the boulder where he found
it. This was in June, 1907. Car
rigan came to Colorado Springs re
Gently from Galveston, Texas, to look
for his old friend, James Casey, who
was there in 1901 and 1902. Car
rigan met Casey in the Alaskan gold
field. He declares that Casey knows
OF his ascent of Mount Mckinley,
and will vouch for his statements.
Carrigan says he did not know until
within the last month that the asrent
of Mount Mckinley claimed by Dr..
Cook had been doubted. >

SWEPT BY A STORM.
A Man and a Mule Killed by Bolt
of Lightning.

The most terrific and destructive
storm experienced there in many a
year struck Rock Hill Saturday eve
ming, lasting about an hour. The
electrical display was fearful, carry
ing with it death and destruction to
property.
The only fatality so far reported
occurred on the plantation Of A. T..
Willis, a short distance from the
city. 4 negro, John Seagle, was
struck by a bolt and instantly killed.
A barn on the plantation of John
A. Black was struck and went up
in flames, killing mule at the same
time. Loss $500 with little insur-
ance.
The residence of Leroy Wilker::1:'
on Saluda street was struck, but no
serious damage done. The residence
of Clark Starnes on east Moore
street was struck five times, tearing
Gloles in the structure and knocking
down the plaster in several rooms.
That no one was killed seemed mir
aculous.

DIVORCE EVIL ALARMING.
Georgia Judge to Make Appeal for
Stricter Laws.

An appeal for stricter divorce laws
in Georgia will be made by Judge
w. D. Ellis, of the Fulton county
superior court, before the general
judiciary committee of the legisia-
ture. Judge Ellis considers the
growth of the divorce evil in Gecr-
sia, and particularly in that terri
tory where he has jurisdiction, so
alarming as to call for new laws.
He made the statement Of his inten-
tion to the jury in his court Friday
morning just before the court ad-
iourned for the week. Both the
Judge and the jury had just COM
pleted the July divorce calendar on
which there were seventy undefend-
ed cases.
Judge Ellis believes that the es-
sential weakness of the present law
is that it permits yerdicts in unde-
Tended cases on uncorroborated tes-
timony, either the husband or wife.
He thinks if corroborating testimony
were required the evil would be
greatly ameliorated and the number
Of divorces made less.
