A Novel "CoOn" Trap.

Monday night. about 1l:30 0 clock,
DR. E T Kelley heard noise in his
front yard as of some one groaning.
At first he could not locate the
sound but at last with the assistance
of some neighDorS ne found negro
fastened in some way to the fence.
The negro, it is supposed, was trying
to get into the house with burglari-
Gus intent and climbing the fence in
the darkness found himself trapped.
When called upon to give an ac-
count of himself he said that his
name was James Wilson and that he
came here from Hartsville to do a
job of painting and meantime got
drunk. He did not seem to be drunk
when captured, however.
His explanation of the affair being
unsatisfactory, Wilson Tor whatever
his name may be) was committed to
Jail to answer clarge of attempted
burglary.
There have been a number Of at
tempts at house-breaklng here lately
and if proved guilty this negro will
no doubt he taught lesson.
Meantime it is suggested that DR.
Kelley get patent on his new style

WIND BLEW HARD.
But No Great Damage Reported
In kfngstree and County.

The wind blew great guns"
here Sunday night and the gale con-
tinued with varying violence until
Monday night. Sunday night was
the worst stage, however. There
was little or no thunder and light
ming but the rain fell in torrents all
night and internationally through
Monday and Tuesday, and, in fact,
up to this time the showers continue.
We have made inquiry of people
from various parts of the county
and opinions differ widely as to the
extent of damage to crops caused
by the storm. Some estimate the
damage as low as 5 per cent, while
others think that 25 per cent. of the
cotton crop is destroyed.
While it is dishearrening indeed
to our farmers to have their crops
cut short after they have been made,
yet we are consoled by the thought
that it might have been far more
disastrous. Compared with Charles
ton, we merely felt the breath of
the destroying storm king. The ef-
fects here are nothing to compare
with the great storm of 1893 and
are far less serious than the gale of
1906.

Benson, August 28:-This section
can boast of the distinction that it
was here that the first Farmers in

held. In this pl ogressive, age the ag-
riculturist is losing no time, but is
plodding daily to reach the height Of
success in his vocation. to accomplish
which he is seeking every opportuni-

rience by the successful scientific
research of men who have had op-
portunities of experimenting and
noting results, thereby getting in
formation for ameliorating farming

The first speaker introduced was
Mr. w H Templeton of Abbeville
county, fertilizer Inspector, who de-
scribed in detail the manner of in
specting fertilizers. Several ques-
tiohs were asked by farmers in the
audience and the information elected
will be of use to any one who wishes
to have his guano analyzed at any
time.
The next speaker was Mr. w r
Elliott of Fairfield county, who is
connected with Clemson College ex"

principally cover crops and seed Sc

is good cover crop, but to grow it
the soil would first have to be inoc-
ulated. A small patch can be grown
by taking the soil from the garden
where the English pea grows and
scattering on the ground where you
expect to plant. following the same
process the next year from the field
last grown, until your soil is inocu-
lated. The planting of legumes was
especially emphasized.
Numerous questions were asked
which indicated the interest Of those
present. The information given as to
the best time to plant rape was in

it last year and we know of quite a
number who will SOW it in time for
