LET TIE FARMER THINK MORE.
Some Facts That Are Worth Serious
Consideration.

Oakway, Dec. 2S.-Editor Keowec
Courier: For some time | have been
thinking Of writing a few lines to my
brother farmers through your valua-
bic columns. Another year is close
upon us. Have we farmed this year
at a loss, or have we made some clear
money? | doubt If one in ten can
tell what it cost to raise this years
crop. One thing we do know is that
we raised too much cotton and not
enough corn, wheat and oats. We
could raise our syrup, meat and lard
a great deal cheaper than we can
raise cotton to pay for them at the
present price.
There are several things we farm
ers do that we ought to stop, to some
extent at least.
1. We ought to cut down our
guano bill one half for 1912, and
when we haul 1t home have it in
spected at once, and If it does not
como up to guaranteed analysis then
don't pay full price for it.
2. When we buy cotton seed meal
we ought to get meal and not hulls.
Some of our oil mills are putting a
lot Of hulls in the meal. | bought
one sack last spring that had one-half
bushel lint cotton in it and lot OF
hulls. Test the meal. Take a hand
full, press 1t just as little as you can !;
If there are any hulls in it it will
swell up; If not it will remain COM
pact.
3. We ought not to sell our cot
ton seed for less than $40 per ton.
1t will pay us better to put them on
our land. A good way to do is to
run up our cotton stalks and put in
fifteen bushels per acre. Do this just
as soon as possible, then in the spring
ridge on them and put in from so to
100 pounds Of good guano per acre
with the seed and we will make just
as good cotton and corn as we have
been making with 800 or 400 pounds
per acre, and at less cost. Try
acre-and turn them under, then use
Just half the guano you used this
year.
tell you, brother farmers, the
timo has come when we have got to
use moro common sense and good
Judgment, and learn what our lands
need. We ought to set apart one
day In each week in the fall and win
ter months to haul pine needles or
leaves to litter our stables, and have
n place fixed to put the manure when
we take 1t out Of the stalls. 1t would
pay us better than any other day in
the week.
We ought to make our land rich
and raise everything we need to eat
and plenty for our cattle and mules
and some to sell, and then all the
cotton we can.
Let us try and make 1912 the ban
ner year for supplies and not make
any moro debts than is absolutely
necessary, and next fall we will get
fair price for our products

GREENVILLE'S HORRIBLE CRIME
Woman Found in Bed With Head
Laid Open by An Axe.

Greenville, Dec. 27.-In one of tho
mill villages Of Greenville tonight
the coroner is holding an inquest into
he death of a woman who was found
in her bed at daybreak with her head
split open with an axe and her 2-year-
old Habe, immersed in pool of blood
by her side. The woman's husband
is locked In a cell at the county jail,
and finger nails bearing blood stains
uncleansed by water used in erasing
other traces Of the foul crime point
at him as the guilty man.
At $50 o'clock this morning She
riif Poole received a call from Bran
don mill, and In responding discov-
cred one of the most hideous crimes
that has stained the pages Of Green
ville's criminal history in some years.
IN their three-room apartment the
sheriff discovered Mrs. Alice Camp.
grovelling in her bed in pool OF
blood. Her head had been mutilated
some time during the night with
some instrument, a huge cash lay
ing open the skull over the temple.
A horrible bruise on one cheek and
other wounds about the face almost
| blottcd out her identity. The woman
was not dead, and by her side lay her
| babe, unharmed. Physicians were
called to tend the woman, but after
removing sections Of her skull and a
major portion Of brain, she died this
afternoon shortly after o'clock.
| Tho Husband Suspected.
Immediately the sheriff and his as
sistants went to work to apprehend
the person guilty Of The crime. Liv-
ing in the house was another family,
but none Of them had heard any dis
turbance during the night. The hus-
band pointed out the bed In which lie
said he had spent the night, bat 1t
| was in another room from that in
whi h his wife slept. Going on into
the kitchen the officers discovered an
axe leaning against the wall and
| resting upon a COW chain which had
been piled on the floor. The chain
itself was bloody, but the axe had
been washed Of all but few stains
| Of crimson. This led the officers to
believe that Immediately after the
commission Of the crime the bloody
axe had been stood upon the chain
that later 1t was taken up and the
blade Of 1t cleansed, then stood once
moro upon the chain.
The officers also found an old sack
in the kitchen, which, though freshly
washed, showed traces Of blood. In
| the stove they discovered scraps of
burned rags bearing traces of blood.
Later in the day suspicion began
to point to the woman's husband and
traces Of blood on his finger nails led
tho sheriff to place him under arrest
and carry him to the county jail.
| Victim Had Been in Court.
The murdered woman herself has
been In the courts OF this county
Some years ago while defending her
husband from an attack by her own
brother she secured revolver and
fired four shots into the latter's body.
For a long time 1t was thought the
woman's brother would die The case
dragged through the courts for some
time and finally wore itself out with
, out any ono being convicted.

BABY NEEDS WATCHING
IN SUMNER TIME
Their Little Stomachs Get Out
Of Order Easily in Hot
Weather.

Mothers should watch closely the
condition of the children's bowels,
babies especially. Keep the bowels
regular n much of the illness of
which children are most susceptible
in summer can be prevented.
The most prevalent symptoms are
constipation and diarrhoea. When
waste from the stomach congests in
the bowels and makes your little one
feverish and fretful, with a feeling
of heaviness or languor. try giving it
a spoonful of DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup
Pepsin at bedtime. By morning this
pleasant. mild laxative will act gently,
yet positively. and restore normal con
ditions. This simple. natural remedy
is also invaluable in checking summer
diarrhoea. BY thoroughly cleansing
the bowels. the foreign matter and
poisons that irritate and inflame the
tissues are eliminated. Don't torture
the child with harsh mathartic, pur-
gative or a%stringent remedies. tina up
set the whole system. and at best only
relieve temporarily. DR.. Caldwelrs
Syrup Pepsin. while positive in its
effect. acts gently and without gripping
or discomfort. restoring normal con.
ditions.
In using Syrup Pepsin for children
the mother can feel perfectly safe, as
1t contains no opiates or narcotic
drug. being a combination of simple
laxative herbs with pepsin. BY carry

Draped skirts make an important
and altogether interesting feature Of
the latest fashions. This one is grace.
ful IN the extreme and can BIZ made
from n two contrasting materials.
There is a complete foundation cut In
two pieces. while the drapery, or over
skirt. is cut in four, the back portions
being overlapped. while the front por-
lions meet at the center and are held
by a beaded tassel. In one view, foul
ard is made over satin: in the other.
White satin is made over black, but
this model is an excellent one for
transparent materials and a charming
effect could be obtained by using satin
or taneta for the foundation and chif-
fon. marquisette. wolfe or some similar
material for the draped over skirt. All
sorts OF color effects are obtained in
this way and many are extremely
beautiful. Often the yer skirt is OF
a distinctly different color from the
foundation INT the transparency gives
an altogether distinctive and mover re-
suit.

ton skirt will require. az yards Of
