BORROWED
LARGE SUM FROM BANK.
Forced to Give Home for Secnri.
ty, Resignation Expected

| MT. HOLLY, March 14.-Following
| objection by a bank examiner to the
fact that Frederick H. Lee, cashier OF
the Mi. Holly National Bank, had Dor
rowed q large sum from the institu-
ton without giving property as secur-
ity, Cashier Lee has been compelled by
the officers of the bank to give his
home, one of the finest In Mt. Holly,
and other real estate to secure his debt.
AS this move to protect the bank has
come so close after the disappearance
of former Assistant Cashier Heller,
who fed last summer with $4,000, all
sorts of rumors were started here, but
a director of the bank said last night
that there was no basis for these re-
ports.
According to the director, Cashier
| Lee borrowed something more tina
SO, 900 from the bank before a bank
examiner complained. Immediately
afterward, he said, Cashier Lee gave
property worth about $3.50 0 as secur-
ity for the amount he had borrowed
upon his notes.
From another source the statement
was made that the amount borrowed
by the cashier was less than $4,000.
Directors of the bank meet today 10
consider the situation. One of the
directors said that Lees resignation,
10th as cashier and as a member OF the
board of directors, will probably be ac-
celted, and that if a new cashier is
not appointed Albert B. Walters, as
sistant cashier, will be made acting
cashier until q permanent successor of
Cashier Lee is selected. He also said
that a new member of the board of
directors would probably be chosen.

HE JUST TOOK THAT
GREENBACK AND FLED
Mary's Nice New Five' Dollar
Bill Is Gone.

While little Mary Armand vas going
to the grocery for her mother yesterday
afternoon, paying no attention to any
body and minding her own business. a
seedy-looking Individual, with a robust
con futon, hailed her.
Where are you going, MaryY" he
asked.
ITO the grocer's, SIR" she said.
Nv hat have you there, my pretty
maidg'
"a IS bill, sir" she said.
"Let me see it, dear" he plead.
mot today, sir" she said.
Whereupon an astonishing thing hap
rened. The unshaved person touched
his unholy hand to the bill and gently
but firmly thawed 1t from Mary's grasp.
He EN- took a long start and jumped
out of sight, and neither Mary nor her,
mother, who livesE at IS Aston street,
nor the police, have seen him since.
The police believe this person Is a
close relative to the mar who waited
until Mrs. Mary Kopius's home, at POS
srruce street, caught fire yesterday
before entering the premises and eiop-
ing with a $40 greenback.

Work on the Pennsylvania railroads

are demolishlng two of the houses On
Saybrook place, the Newark terminal
site. Numbers Is and 20 Saybrook

day. The last house on the southeast
side of Saybrook place Is No. %, but

The rest of the houses, Nos. 10, IL, Ia,

opinion of the j. F. Stanley Company
in charge of the work.
The condemned houses are compare

William C. Bowles, constructing en-
gineer of the Pennsylvania railroad, to-
day declared the company was anxious
to get started or the work at once. and
would soon begin erecting the bridge
on the west side of Front street. Liti-

TALK TO TENNESSEE FARMERS
BY T. r. PECK
commissioner of Agriculture. p.

Professor Morgan's article on
"Clover" failed to reach us in time
for publication, so we will continue
our talks on soil, discussing some
of the causes for poor soil.
Surface washing is one of the
means by which land becomespoor,
and it is one that can be prevented
by proper use of bitches and by
better methods of farming.
If any fields are SO steep that
terraces or bitches will not protect
them against surface washing they
should be allowed to grow up in
useful trees; otherwise they should
ne planted to some grass or graz
ing plant, which will do much to
hold the soil in place.
Another cause, responsible for
the poor soil IN the South, is the
loss of vegetable matter. This oc-
ours whenever the farmer grows
corn, cotton or any other crop that
is kept thoroughly cultivated, and
does not leave on the land large
amount of roots, leaves or stems.
Fire is one of the farmers worst
enemies, because it destroys vege-
table matter needed to improve the
soil, When vegetable matter in
the soil disappears, the soil be-
comes lighter in color, dryer in
dry weather, more cloddy and
harder to work. Clay soils then
become too compact for roots to
thrive in them. In dry weather
the crop on such land is parched
and stunted and ruined, while on
similar land, well supplied with
rotted vegetable matter, the crop
is much better able to Withstand
the drouth. This is partly because
rotted vegetable matter is some
What Ike sponge in having the
power to hold moisture, and when
the roots come in contact with this
decayed vegetable matter they alb
sorb it's moisture and also use
part Of it for food.
The farmer can replace the veg
etable matter that disappears when
clean-cultivated crops are continu-
allygrown, byproducing occasional
crops that leaves large amounts OF
roots or leaves and stems on the
ground. Some Of the crops that
thus increase the supply Of vege-
"a Die matter are clover, cowpeas
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1911-08-25

and kindred plants, and the grasses
that form a sod or dense covering
over the entire surface.
The surest and cheapest way for
farmer to enrich his soil, and to
make larger profits in farming is
by constantly adding vegetable
matter.
In forest, year after year the
trees drop their leaves, and the
decayed roots and leaves make the
soil very rich and loose. When
the trees are removed the thew
ground produces good crops that
use the vegetable matter as food.
Crops are good on "new ground"
also because the humus in dry
weather holds moisture like a
sponge; drouth therefore is not
much felt by crops on land con-
tanning much humus.
When plowed, the dark, loose
soil crumbles readily, for the rea-
son that vegetable matter in the
soil keeps the particles of clay
from sticking together, and from
turning up In great useless clods.
Farmers have learned that even
a crop of weeds adds vegetable
matter, and SO they sometimes
leave certain poor fields unculti-
waited for year or two to crest"
or improve, but such improvement
is very slow.
The plants that are the most
valuable for blowing under to en-
rich the land are all closely akin.
The clovers, cowpeas and similar
plants belonging to the bean fam
lly-legumes, or leguminous plants
is the name given to them.
The plants that most enrich the
land are those that make the richest
hay and pastorage for horses, hogs,
cattle, sheep and poultry.
The farmer often asks, "Does it
pay better to use the vines or tops
of cowpeas or clover as food for
live stock, or to pillow them into the
ground as a fertilizer?' This can
be answered by stating the fact
that the starch, sugar and fat that
the animal takes out of it's food
have DO value as a fertilizer.
Enough live stock ought to be
kept ON all farms to consume the
that are grown. The far
mer can therefore make double
