Early Work for Sugar Beets.

AS spring opens up. the first qucs-
ton to confront the farmer is that OF
properly preparing the seed bed and
it is time right now to begin thinking
about getting out and hustling. just
before the season arrives when the
bccts arc to be planted. the ground
must be thoroughly pulverizcd, har-
rowcd and packed. for these condi-
tons arc all essential in securing 4
good stand. Ii the plowing has been
done as suggested. the labor required
in the preparation OF the secd-bcd will
be reduced to u minimum. because Of
the fine state oi pulvcrization whic h
has been wrought by the action oi
frost during the winter.
The actual preparation OF the
ground should be begun by stirring
the soil to a depth of 1t least five
inches by means OF disc harrow.
Afterwards the ground should be har-
rowcd over at least twice with the or
dinary. iron smoothing harrow. II
the surface seems exceptionally dry
at that time. with no immediate pros
poets of rain either just before or af-
ter seeding. 4 heavy iron roller can
be used to advantage. Rolling the
soil increases the capillary power and
large quantities OF water may be
drawn from considerable depths to
the surface where it can be utilized
in the termination OF the beet seed
and afterwards in helping to support
the young and tender plants. a
light narrowing. however, must i'm
lately follow the rolling i'll order to
establish soil mulch and thus prevent
the evaporation OF much moisture
which has thus been brought to the
surface.
The smooth, compact surface OF the
soil left by the roller allows easy
movement OF tho wind which induces
the rapid loss OF water and this can
only be prevented by the establish
ment of fine mulch. This early cul-
tivation OF the soil serves two very
important purposes: 1t destroys all
the young weeds and conscrves
moisture which would otherwise be
cvaporatcd. Faulty preparation of
the seed bed is the cause OF more
failures in sugar beet growing than
any other factor. In growing wheat
or other cereals here in Colorado,
this preparation can not be SO thor
ough or ideal. rs it must be in grow
ing 4 crop So necessarily adapted to
intensive farming as is the sugar beet.
OF course. the preparation OF the
land for seeding must be governed
largely by two iactors-thc character
OF the land and the climatic condi-
tions during the season. If the land
is a sandy loan much less work vii!
be required in reducing it to proper
state OF tilth than il heavy clay. The
land may usually Ibe prepared in Feb
ruary for the reception OF seed, but
climatic changes may delay seeding
| for some time.

FROM SHADOW TO SUNSHINE
BY HARRY HAxEs PORTER In THOUGHT

! learn as the years roll onward
And leave the past behind,
That much have counted sorrow
But proves that our God is kind;
That many a flower ! longed' for
Had a hidden thorn of pain.
And many a rugged bypath
Led to fields of ripened grain.
The clouds but cover the sunshine,
They cannot Danish the sun;
And the earth shines out the brighter
When the weary rain is done;
We must stand in the deepest shadow
To see the clearest light.
And often from wrongs own darkness
Comes the very strength of right.
The sweetest rest is at even,
After a wearisomc day,
When the heavy burden of labor
Has been borne from our hearts
away.
And those who have never known

CHARGED WITH SELLING LIQUOR
Arrest of Fort Motto Mayor Sensa-
sation i'm Calhoun County.

St. Matthews, July 10.-The latest
sensation in Calhoun county liquor
circles was the arrest of George w.
Willard, at Fort Motto, this morn
ing, on the charge of selling liquor.
Mr.. Willard is mayor Of Fort Motto
and highly connected by marriage
and otherwise. Sheriff Dantzler
brought him to St. Matthews this
afternoon, where he waived a pre-
liminary and gave bond for his ap-
pearance at court of general sessions.
It is a matter of profound regret
to Mr.. Wizards numerous friends in
the county and it is earnestly hoped
by his friends that he will be able to
clear himself of the serious charge.
Numerous citizens of the Fort Motto
section, it is stated, have made COM
plants to the authorities about the
matter and detectives were employed
to work up the case. Out of consid-
GRAFTON for his official and social
standing, he, it is said, had been duly
warned, in order to avoid the final
sensational climax.

SENSATIONAL FIND.
White Infant Found in
a Ditch in Bamberg.

Monday afternoon little before
sundown a daughter of S. Yeitrakis
saw a white woman whom she did
not know throw bundle in the ditch
which crosses Elm street near his
residence. An investigation was
made soon afterward and it was
found that the bundle contained the
body of an immature white infant.
The child was wrapped in cloth and
placed in a paper sack. The body
was brought down town and was
seen by several gentlemen. There are
a number of rumors afioat as to the
mother of the child, but nothing
definite is known so far as we have
been able to learn. 1t is supposed
that the mother was unmarried, but
even in this event her disposal of the
infant was certainly very queer, as
the place at which the bundle was
thrown in the ditch is right on a
public street. Besides it was not
dark at the time.

Fined Fifty Dollars.

Mr.. Chas. r. Jones, white man
who conducts a small store on the
street below Copeland's store, was
arrested last Wednesday afternoon
for being drunk and disorderly and
firing his pistol in his store. He re-
sisted when Policeman Moody went
to arrest him and defied him to enter
the store. He was arrested by Chief
Hand and Mr.. Moody without trouble,
and was tried before Mayor Smoak
on Friday afternoon. He was given
a fine Of $4,000 or thirty days, and
the fine was paid. It will be remem-
bered that Jones was convicted some
years ago for completely in the kill
ing of Elijah Norman in the cotton
mill here by his brother, Bragg
Jones, but G. R. Jones was pardoned
a year or more ago.

HELD FOR KILLING.
Shooting Took Place Just Outside of
Greenville City Limits.

Greenville, July 9.-Holding Les
ter Bryant responsible for the killing
of Charles Stewart, Coroner Batson's 8
jury this afternoon returned a YER
dict in the fatal shooting affray which
occurred about 2 o'clock yesterday
morning in the Cripple Creek section
just beyond the city limits. Bryant
surrendered to the county jailer
about $3.50 o'clock this morning, ad-
mitting that he killed Stewart, and
is now in Jail. A warrant charging
him with murder will be taken out
tomorrow morning by Coroner Bat
son, and it is probable that the case
will be tried at the next term Of. the
court of general sessions.
There were three witnesses to the
shooting, two women and one man.
The location Of the killing has a rath.
er disreputable character, and the
shooting followed slight quarrel
between the dead man and a woman
who was with Bryant.
Both men are residents of the Poe
cotton mill village and are unmar.
ried. Two pistols were brought in
to use, and it is certain Bryant had
one, and probable that Stewart had
the other. !.

Negro Beaten; Bathed in Turpentine.

'Quitman, Ca, July 6.-News has
been received here of the horrible
beating of a negro, Dave Williams,
by other negroes, ten in all being
mixed up in the outrage. An at
tempt was made to run Williams
away from a turpentine camp at
Dixie, so the account runs, and he
left this camp and went to that of
Wade & Co., near Piscola. The
Dixie negroes sent word to those at
the Wade camp that the negro should
be run off.
Two negroes named Lee and Miles
led in the assault on Williams and
the details as brought in by white
men are barbarous. The negro was
beaten almost to a pulp and it is
said turpentine was then poured over
him and he was thrown into swamp
nearby and left for dead, as was re-
ported last week.
Two days after the beating a
woods rider for the camp, white
man, found the negro in the swamp
still alive. He had him removed to
a house and sent for a doctor, who
says the man may die. A justice Of
the peace court bailiff arrested some
of the negroes CONCERNED and brought
them in, but they were released on
bond.

CHEEK SLASHED, ARM CUT.
Mill Operative Figures in Columbia
Cutting Scrape.

Columbia, July 6.-The police are
not yet able to explain a cutting al
fray which occurred early this even
ing at the Seaboard Air Line station
on West Gervais street, in which a
white mill operative named Vaughn
was badly cut up by another factory
employee named Hayes, whom
Vaughn claims not to know at all.
Vaughn had his cheek slashed
from mouth to ear, and his arm laid
open for 20 inches. He says Hayes
attacked him without provocation or
warning. City Physician Rice stitch
ed up Vaughn's wounds. Hayes was

HUNT FOR RAILROAD ROBBERS.
c.. C.. & o. Safe Dynamited and Sta
ton Wrecked-Sheriff Wounded.

Asheville, N. c., July 10.-The
station of the Carolina, Clinchfeld
and Ohio Railroad at Marion juno
ton was dynamited early this morn
ing and practically wrecked, the iron
safe having been demolished, the
windows blown out and the roof torn
off. Only 81 was in the safe at the
time, and this was taken by the rob-
bers, supposed to consist of three
men. The wreckers placed dyna-
mite on top of the safe and blew a
hole in it, and filling the hole after
ward with dynamite, blew the safe
open and wrecked the station.
Sheriff Mashburn, Of Marion, Nc
Dowell county, N. c., started in pur-
suit of the robbers with bloodhounds,
but they eluded the pursuers, COM
ing in the direction Of Asheville.
Tonight, when No. rs, Southern
freight train, pulled into Old Fort,
N. c., three men were seen to alight.
The sheriff, who had come to Old
Fort in pursuit, attempted to talk
with the men, when one Of them ran
and commenced firing. The sheriff
was struck in the ankle and painfully
injured. A posse of citizens of Old
Fort took up the pursuit, and one Of
the posse, a carrier boy, name un-
known, was shot in the arm. The al
legged robbers escaped to the noun
tains, followed by the entire male
population of the little village.
Sheriff Mashburn was taken to his
home at Marion for medical treat
ment, and several of his deputies
were sent to Old Fort, where they
will arrive at 2 o'clock Tuesday
morning, to take up an organized
search for the desperadoes.

NAVAL EXPERTS WILL DECIDE.
Bixby Denies Making Statements as
to Origin Maine Explosion.

Washington, July GA board OF
naval officers, experts in explosives,
is being selected by the navy depart
ment to study the hull of the battle
ship Maine in Havana harbor as
the water is pumped from the cof-
fer-dam now surrounding the wreck.
Because of the necessarily slow prog
ress of the work weeks probably will
elapse before the board will be able
to thoroughly inspect the ship. The
board will leave for Havana as soon
as it's personnel is made known, and
will remain there until the work is
finished.
Gen. w. H. Bixby, chief engineer,
who has just returned from Havana,
to-day issued the following signed
statement:
'The work of unwatering the
Maine so far proves nothing as to the
origin of the explosion of the maya
zines, but already shows such extern
sive destruction of the forward part
of the boat that it is quite probable
that fuller unwatering will fail to
give any proofs either way as to the
origin of such explosions. I have so
far made no reports or statements as
to the origin Of the explosion

DOUBLE LYNCHING PREVENTED.
Mob Ready to Avenge Injury Of An
derSOn Farmer.

Anderson, July 10.-The lynching
of d negro man and his wife, in the
Meals Creek section of Anderson
county, was narrowly averted to-day
by cool heads and the prompt arrival
of officers on the scene. H. P. Nc
Daniels, a wealthy farmer, reprimand-
ed his negro tenant, T. C. Williams,
for cutting down some pine saplings.
The negro resented the reprimand
and made an attack on Mr.. McDan-
iels, hitting him between the shoul-
der blades with a large rock. One
of the shoulder blades was fractured
and his spinal column was injured.
The news of the attack spread rap
idly through the county, and within
an hour large throng had gathered
at the McDaniel's home, many COM
ing from a distance in autos. A war
rant against the negro, charging as
sault and battery with intent to kill,
was secured from Magistrate Martin
and Deputy Richard Smith arrested
the negro, who offered no resistance.
Because the negro's wife attempted
to help him, by bringing out a shot
gun, she was also arrested.
Immediately after the arrests were
effected Deputy Sheriff Van Martin
and Constable Tom Davis arrived in
an auto, picked up the prisoners and
rushed them to the county Jail. The
mob had greatly increased in num-
Der and violence to the negroes was
expected. Col. D. A. Geer and 9TH
ers held the crowds back, and pre-
valid upon them to allow the law to
take it's course.
Mr.. McDaniels is peaceable man
and one of the best citizens of the
county; his condition tonight is Sc
rious, partial paralysis having set in.
He is about so years old and has
taken an active work in the school
and church of his community.
Great indignation over the brutal
attack has been expressed by the peo-
pie, and that double lynching was
averted reflects great credit upon the
presence of mind of some of the men
present and the work of the officers,
who swiftly landed the negroes in
Jail. No further demonstration is
expected.

Locomotive Struck Auto.

Spartanburg, July S.-Mr. and
Mrs. J. L. Cantrell, whose plantation
is three miles from Liberty in Pick
ems county, and Warren Smith, who
lives in Liberty, were injured, Mr..
Smith more seriously than the 9TH
ers. when an automobile in which
they were driving to Spartanburg
was struck by locomotive at Tu-
capau at 9 o'clock this morning and
wrecked. Mr.. and Mrs. Cantrells
two small children, who were also in
the machine, were thrown out, but
escaped with scarcely scratch.
The party left Liberty early in the
morning to come to Spartanburg to
visit Mrs. Cantrell's sister. Near
Wexford they were running along
the national highway at smart clip
when the accident occurred. In front
of the home of L. N. Mcmillan the
highway crosses a siding leading
from the Southern railway to the Tu-
capau mills. There is a sharp curve
in the road and the party in the au-
tomobile did not see the engine bear
ing down upon them until 1t was too
late. The collision smashed the
touring car and threw the occupants
sout into the road, but clear OF the
track. The children were unhurt,
but Mr.. Smith was rendered uncon-
scious and Mr.. and Mrs. Cantrell
both sustained painful scalp wounds.
All of the members of the party were
taken to the home of Mr.. Mcmillan.
DR.. Moore and DR.. Vernon were call
ed, and dressed their wounds. Mr..
and Mrs. Cantrell recovered suft1ci-
entity to return to Liberty with their
children in the evening.
It was regarded as unsafe to re-
move Mr.. Smith, and he is at the
home of Mr.. Mcmillan. He regained
consciousness, and DR.. Vernon stated
that he seemed to be doing we'll.
The automobile is wrecked beyond
hope of repair.

After the Cotton Trade.

Houston, Tex, July 7.-What Is
regarded here as the most aggressive
move yet made by Orientals to obtain
a share in the South's cotton business
was put into full swing to-day by the
chartering at Austin Of a 100000
company by K. Fukushima, a Japan
ese. He is manager for the Mitsui
Banking house of Japan and has
opened offices here. The purpose is
to export cotton to Asiatic countries
through agencies to be established
throughout the Orient. These plans
follow the personal visit to this
country about a year ago of Baron
Mitsui, who studied the cotton and
rice business.

Kind Words.

Mr.. Geo. R. Lombard, president OF
the Lombard Iron Works and Supply
Co.,, of Augusta, one Of the most
reliable firms in existence and one
that does a large business in this
section, wrote US the other day as
follows:
"Congratulate you on your fine
county paper, one of the best that
comes to our Office. July 9Th paper
before me well printed, full of inter-
esting news. Wish you the success
you deserve"
Mr.. Lombard has been an adver-
tiser in The Herald for years, and we
appreciate his writing us. 1t is
enough to make country newspaper
man feel good when busy business
man, of large affairs, finds time to
look over country weekly and then
write the editor. The people of Bam-
berg will in time regret that they
have not supported The Herald more
literally and appreciated its efforts
in a more substantial way. We can
not publish a newspaper that Is a
credit to the town unless we get more
business, and we ask it solely on the
ground of deserving it as well as CIV
ing value received.
