THE BOYS CORN CLUB.

There was a meeting of the Boys
Corn club at Winthrop college last

bers present.
The especial object of the meeting
Saturday was to make study of seed

lows: First prize of $3.50, to Clyde
Good Of Hickory Grove; second prize
of $3.50, awarded to Grier McFadden

awarded to Marvin Faris Of Fort Mill
1t is proposed to hold another meet
ing in Yorkville on February 25, for
the purpose of electing officers and
making arrangements for the contest
to be held during the present year.
Those in charge of the club hope

miums to be contested for; but for
the premiums they WILL of course, be
dependent upon the generosity of the
business people and others who wish to
promote the success of this very i'm
portant work.
1t is especially desired that all the
boys Of the county who are interested
give in their names on or before Feb
ruary 25, and that they be present at
the meeting to be held on that day.
Cash prizes to the amount of not

Ordinarily, this matter Of refunding

on the hustings to advertise their own

oversight of the fact last summer that

state dispensary commission, by far
the largest items in this total being
fees and commissions paid to attor-
neys. Refunds and collections, due to
the efforts Of the commission, have
however, much more than offset these
expenditures. The commission consid-
ers that its arrangement with the At
lanta law firm. Anderson, Fielder,
Rountree and Wilson, by which that
concern was allowed so per cent. OF
recoveries upon overjudgments, has
been one advantageous to the state. In
1910 the Atlanta firm got approximate
ly $50,000. This year there has been
one refund, that Of the Bernheims,
amounting to over $4,000 and of this
the law firm gets half, under its orig
inal contract. The commissions gross
; expenses in 1910 were $199 9,950.19; In
1911, $49,1S4.75. At the beginning Of
the legislative session in January, 1910,
the commission reported expenses Of
s191, 1861. In 1910 the commission
turned over $275,000 to the schools Of
the state, and had balance on hand Of
$50. .832.S0. During the year just pass
ed the commission put to the credit OF
the state in the graft account $50, 0,969.15.
The net profits for the year were ST.

balance Of $120,s10.24. This added
to the amount for this year makes

WOULD.BE ASSASSIN.

Henry McMackin, a negro Of the
Bowling Green neighborhood, was COM
mitted to Jail by Magistrate H. E.
Johnson last Friday, charged with
having fired into the house Of Mr..
Cephas Warren. a white man, during
Thursday night
Upon being advised of the shooting
by Mr.. Warren, Magistrate Johnson
sent his constable, Horace L. Johnson.
to investigate, and the investigation
developed that some one had approach
ed the house of the complainant and
fired two charges of shot into it. What
was evidently the first shot, fired at
close range, had shattered the window,
and the second shot, fired at greater
distance, had sprinkled the weather.
boarding.
Leading away from the house were
the tracks of a man who wore on one
foot shoe that made a peculiar i'm
print, and these tracks were followed
for some distance until it became evil
dent that they led in the direction of
Bowling Green.
Mr.. Warren had prosecuted a negro
named Henry McMackin before Mag
istrate Johnson last summer, and the
suspicion of both Mr.. Warren and Con-
stable Johnson centering on this negro,
1t was decided to go after him.
McMackin was found at work in
field at Bowling Green, and when ar
rested by the constable, and Informed
of his alleged offense, protested his IN
nocence. He set up for one thing that
he had not been out of his home, an'
for another thing that he had no gun.
70 prove what he said he invited the
constable to ask his wife about his
having been at home and to search his
house for gun.
The constable made a search of the
house and it looked as if that part of
the negro's story was to be borne out
until at length the throwing back OF
the bedclothes revealed a double-bar-
rel, twelve gauge shot gun. McMackin
undertook TO explain the presence or
the gun with the statement that John
Fewell who lives across the creek, had
left it there yesterday; but when the
matter was put up to Fewell, he said
that the gun was his, that he had lent
it to McMackin to use on hunt and
had given him five cartridges.
There were two empty shells in the
gun, and three other cartridges under
the bedclothes, and the wads found at
the place of the shooting bore the iden-
tical marks of those in the cartridges
found in the possession of McMackin.

ANOTHER CREAMERY RECORD.

The Yorkville Creamery plant made
another record last Saturday, receiving
3,640 pounds of whole milk and turning
out 21S pounds Of butter.
The milk receipts at the creamery
continue to climb steadily. The pa
irons who have been furnishing milk
from the beginning continue to grow
more and more satisfied, and new pa
irons are dropping in steadily.
Manager Bridges expresses himself
as very we'll pleased with the progress
that has been made, declaring that It
Is little better rather than a little
short of what he had expected up to
this time, and continues to insist that
the farmers of this section will, before
a great while, run the plant up to its
full capacity.
Mr.. Mason, the buttermaker, who
came down from Indiana in the full
knowledge that the creamery PROPOSE
tion was entirely experimental in this
section, Is now thoroughly satisfied that
the enterprise is a complete success,
and Is ready to send for his family. He
says he likes the people down this
way, likes his patrons, and Is thor
oughly we'll pleased generally. The
only thing that Is disturbing him is
inability to get a suitable house.
At one time a few weeks ago, the
creamery got little ahead of orders
and the output began to accumulate a
little: but it is not that way now. Or
ders are running ahead Of the output,
and there Is every reason to believe
that If the butter yield were twice as
great as 1t now Is, 1t would be disposed
Of with but little difficulty.
