HIS BIBLE HIS PASSPORT.
Boy Accused OF Larceny Freed when
He Produces Book for Oath.

An 1S-year-old boy who was tried
on a burglary charge came to court
with his own little Bible in his hip
pocket, and insisted on being sworn
in with that instead of the ordinary
court Bible. The jury acquitted him.
Mrs. Charles Campbell made the
charge that this boy. George McAllis-
ter. tried to break into her apartment,
at 5S West Sixty-sixth street, on
August 2, by letting himself down
on the dumbwaiter. She said she
opened the dumbwaiter door and he
almost fell into her arms. She held
him there until a policeman came.
George went on the stand, and af-
ter scorning the Bible offered him by
the court attendant said:
"Oh, no; l have a Bible of my
own" and he reached for his hip
pocket and produced Bible. with
which he was duly sworn,
He told Judge Foster, sitting IN
Part l of general sessions, that he
had been playing on the roof with
another boy, and that they had ex-
tended their fun by taking rides up
and down the dumbwaiter. Charles
Hartnell was his friend, and he had
a similar story, but admitted to the
court that he and George had only a
day or two before the latter's arrest
tried to steal an automobile from the
street and had not succeeded.
McAllster has been under parole
from the Children's Court several
times.-New York Sun.

FRIDAY 4 LUCKY DAY.
Somebody Now Wanted to KNOCK
Out No. Is.

Superstition has recently received
a hard knock in compilation OF a
newspaper man going to prove that
Friday is a fortunate day. The SUI
perstition, we are told, originated
with the Greeks, the basis of their
prejudice being that it was on Friday
the Savior was crucitied. The facts
going to prove that Friday is not an
unlucky day, We find in the New Or
leans Picayune. First, on Friday,
August 8. 1892, Christopher Colum-
bus sailed on his great voyage of dis
covery. On Friday, October II,
1892, he discovered land. On Fri
day. January 4, 1893, he sailed on
his return to Spain. which, if he had
not reached in safety, the happy re-
suit would never have been known
which led to the settlement Of this
vast continent. On Friday, March
-, 1898, he arrived at Palos IN safe
ty. On Friday, November 22. 1893,
he arrived at Hispanolia, on his Sec
ond voyage to America. On Friday,
June 10, 1494, he, though unknown
to himself, discovered the mainland
of the continent of America.
On Friday. March ), 1895, Henry
VII of England, gave John Cabot his
commission, which led to the discov-
cry of North America. This is the
first American State paper in Eng
land. On Friday, September I. 1868,
Melendez founded St. Augustine, the
oldest town in the United States by
more than 40 years. On Friday, No.
yember 10. 1920. the Mayfower,
with the Pilgrims. made the harbor
of Provincetown. and on the same
day they signed that compact, the
forerunner of our present glorious
constitution. On Friday, December
%, 1920, the Pilgrims made their
final landing at Plymouth Rock. On
Friday, February 20, 1920, George
Washington, the father OF American
freedom. was born.
On Friday. July Z, 1875, the mo-
ton in congress was made by John
Adams. seconded by Richard Henry
Lee, that the United States colonies
were. and of right ought to be, free
and independent. On Friday, Oc-
tober 7, 1777, the surrender of Sara
toga was made which had such
power and influence in inducing
France to declare for our cause. On
Friday, September 22. 1880, the
treason of Arnold was laid bare. On
Friday, October 19, 1871, the surren-
der of Yorktown, the crowning glory
of the American arms, occurred.

Negro Preacher Whipped.

Edegefeld, Nov. 2O.-A report has
reached Edgeheld that a body OF
citizens numbering about so took
George Blocker, a colored preacher,
of the Antioch section, out this morn
ing and whipped him with a buggy
trace, ordering him to leave the COM
munity at once and never return
again. 1t is said that Blocker incit-
ed or urged Otis Harris, another ne
gro, to attack young Albert Lyon in
the public road last Friday. 1t is al
so said that recently in some of his
sermons Blocker has made incendiary
statements that were calculated to
arouse prejudice among the negroes
for the white people. George Block

Keeping Sweet Potatoes.

During the past three years expert
ments looking to the best method of
keeping sweet potatoes have been
carried on at the Experiment Station
here. A careful study has been made
of the roots of potatoes. and the con-
ditions under which these roots
thrive. We find that the majority OF
the trouble in keeping sweet. potatoes
comes from the presence OF disease
on the potatoes when they are
brought into the bank from the field.
The black rot, and the stem rot, both
of which are very common through
out the State, are primarily field dis
eases. They attack the underground
portions of the plant while in the
field and cause black and scabby
looking areas on the surface of the
tubers. When these potatoes are dug
and stored in banks or houses these
diseases spread throughout the en-
tire lot and cause the potatoes to rot
The most important thing, then, in
connection with storing potatoes is
to see that you have absolutely heal
thy potatoes to begin with. Where
the crop is planted from vines the
potatoes are usually found to be very
free from the disease. For this rea-
son it is we'll to bank the potatoes
grown from vines, separately from
those grown from slips. This is es-
pecially advisable where YOU are not
sure that the potatoes grown from
slips are free from disease.
Potatoes which are free from dis
ease usually keep we'll when banked
in the ordinary way. Care should be
exercised to keep the potatoes from
becoming chilled at any time; the
temperature in bank should not be
allowed to go below so degrees at
any time during the winter. We find
that where potatoes are once thor
oughly chilled. it is almost impos-
sible to keep them. The storage rots,
such as the soft and the dry rot
both of which frequently occur in
stored potatoes, make rapid headWay
on potatoes when they are once chilli
ed. Any temperature below so de-
grees will chill the potatoes suffici-
emily to enable these rots to get a
start.
Potatoes should never be banked
for two years in succession in the
same bank: The fungi which cause
the diseases in the field and the ones
which cause the rots in storage, will
live over in these old banks and will
attack the new potatoes as soon as
they are stored. The same soil and
the same straw should not be used
for two years in succession for cover
ing the banks for this same reason.
Where potato houses are used they
should be thoroughly cleaned out and
the walls and floors sponged or spray
ed with per cent. solution OF
formaline or l per cent. solution
of blue stone before the potatoes are
brought in Where these precautions
have been followed We have expert
enced very little difficulty in keeping
sweet potatoes.

Commissioner of Agriculture E. J.
Watson went to New York this week
to attend a conference of cotton men.
1t is hoped these conferences can do
something to hold up the price of
cotton, but we doubt it. The only
salvation for the South is reduction
of acreage and planting other things
than cotton.

Blue Ribbon Races

This year marks the twenty.siXth an
niversary of the Blue Ribbon races
Other cities may give rich purses, but
the annual event of the Detroit Driving
Club is conceded to be in class by
itself, the premier of all trotting and
pacing meetings in this country. The
week beginning with July 81 has been
set apart for this midsummer carnival
of speed and in that period twenty trot-
ting and pacing races will be decided
on the exceptionally fast state fair track.
More good horses are in training and
there is more enthusiasm among own
ers and drivers, SO that when the bell
rings those who enjoy the sport of the
sulkeys will have a chance to see some
splendid contests at Detroit. The Mer-
chants IL Manufacturers and the Cham
Der of Commerce stakes, which are the
best known classics of the American
turf, have a greater entry than ever in
their history. The 2:ll trot has as
sembled the best horses that are eligi-
BILE to it and the 2:04 pace promises to
be a sensation among events for that
gait.
In addition to these events for aged
horses the $4,000 futurity, promoted by
during the week, and will bring to.
gether the best two and three-yearo Odds
in the country. Colt racing was given
its inaugural in Michigan last year, and
proved very attractive. Since then a
colt bred and trained in this state has
become worlds champion, and the fact
that he starts in this big event at the
Blue Ribbon meeting lends much inter
est to the outcome.
While the full program for this meet
ing is not yet announced, it is known
that there will be from one to two star
events daily, so that person is certain
to see something worth while any day
he spends in the spacious grandstand.
Detroit is the only city that is able to
give such an attraction to its patrons,
and is doing so because the sport low
ing people of the state want only the
best, which can always be found at the
Blue Ribbon races.

to grab Adolph's crown away from
him." Thiery said in summing up the
situation. "Wolgast is one of the
strongest of the little fellows and |
always said so. l told them in the
east, where they called him cheese
that they would see the day they would
have to eat that word That day has
come.
Let me give you a few facts about
Packey that appear to have been over
looked in the sum up. To begin with,
the boy has the strength of a middle
weight where ring strength is best
from the waist up.
>.Here are a couple of measurements
for the public to ponder over. Packey
has a 3S-inch chest and aSinch
waist. His strength is in his chest and
shoulders. where the strength of all
powerful hitters lies Take Bob F'itz-
simmons as good example.
Now as to the weight. If We get
this Wolgast match on the terms of the
champion. Paekey will hace to make
1873 pounds either four or five hours
before the contest starts. He can do
that under me and retain every bit Of
his strength. On Jan. Il, the day upon
which Packey fought Jack Goodman IN
tual benefit and had him down to ex-
actly 1913 IL pounds at 3 o'clock, al
though obliged to make only 135. L
wasn't a bit of trouble then, and what
he did to Goodman was shame. He
had everything, and that satisfied both
of US on the weight score.
For the Tommy Murphy match he
made 135 pounds at o'clock and was
so sure of making the weight that he
did not go near scale for four days
before the scrap. And I firmly belle 7e
that had he cared to take a chance of
hurting his hands he would have
knocked Murphy out. Why, he slams
these fellows around as easily as If
they were only featherweights.
Owen Moran gives us another line.
During Packey's ten rounds with the
Englishman he did more to him than
Wolgast did in the same length of
time Had there been stake up or
it. I think Packey could have knocked
him out in ten rounds that night. He
didn't. because he didn't care to take
any unnecessary chances with his
hands but he mauled him decisively
and Moran admits it.
why. then should we not both be
confident of the result with VOL
gast?"

COBB SHARPENS HIS SPIKES
FOR PHILADELPHIA SERIES.
Rivalry Intense in Games Now On at
Detroit.

What will be series for blood was
started in Detroit between the Tigers
and the Athletics. 1t will be the third
meeting Of the season of these two
clubs, and bad feeling exists. writes a
western scribe.
When the Athletics went to Detroit
on their first trip of the season the
Tigers got an even break with them.
In one game Coombs shot a fast one at
Gamer. IT hit the first sacker's wrist
and broke it. He has been out of the
game since.
Until that accident Gamer had been
playing remarkable bal for Detroit.
His fielding was Phenomenal, and he
was hitting near the 400 mark. Gamer
is credited to a large extent for the
wonderful winning streak Detroit had
at the start of the season. His hitting
in pinches was the biggest asset the
Tigers had in this run of success.
Although no Open accuse tons came
as the result of the Gamer accident,
there has been a feeling of resentment
ever since. This was not diminished
by another accident that happened
about that time. Lively was started in
one game against the Athletics and
pitched wonderful sbalI for. a few in
nings. When he came to bat he was
hit on the head by bean" ball. The
next inning the Athletics pounded him
out Of the box. Lively carried a bump
on his head the size of hens egg.
Then Detroit played in Philadelphia,
and the trouble started anew. This
time Baker and Cobb were the princi-
pals. The Baker spiking incident of a
few years ago was at the bottom of the
fuss. Baker had given interviews in
which he accused Cobb of being "a
dirty ball player" Although Baker had
