THE FERTILITY
OF OUR SOIL

Here is an interesting item: In
1909 John Miller sOwed 1870 acres to
winter wheat using 10 pounds to the
acre. This was sowed in new break
ing. The harvest in 1910 brought an
average of 2S bushels per acre. The
same season he again sowed the land
to wheat, using 70 pounds to the acre.
The yield in 1912 showed - bushels
per acre, after the hail had slightly
damaged the crop. Nothing was done
to the land after the 1917 harvest, but
this year dandy growth has ap-
peared. which will surely yield close
to % bushels per acre.-Butfalo Re-
view.

BAPT|STS DID
MUCH WORK IN
THREE DAYS

The Baptist State Convention COM
pleted it's work on Thursday night
shortly after 10 o'clock, and Friday
morning the delegates departed for
their respective homes, loud in their
praise Abbevilles hospitality.
DR.. C. A. Milford, chairman of the
local entertainment committee, reports
that there was not sing discordant
note in the universal ..pressions Of
pleasure, both on the part of guests
and hosts. The members of the con-
vention enjoyed their stay here and
the citizens of Abbeville enjoyed hav-
ing them here.
The convention decided favorably
upon the proposal to establish san
itarium. A board of IL members, head
ed by Rev. Louis Bristow, was select
ed to take charge of this work. At.
tractive offers have been made by
several cities for the location Of this
sanitarium. The board having this
work in charge will meet in Columbia
at the call of the president some time
in January to decide upon the lGca-
ton. This is a new line of church work
in South Carolina, though in many
States such institutions are quite
common and are doing great Tork
for the relief of suffering humanity.
Rev. Mr. Bristow has put a great
deal of time and effort into his work
as chairman of the committee on san
itarium and he was enabled to lay be-
fore the convention a mass OF data
bearing upon the subject. His address
in support of the report of his COM
mittee was one Of the features OF the
convention. His argument was able
from every standpoint and was well
received.
Another important step taken by
the convention was the removal OF
State headquarters from Greenville to
Columbia. This means that by locating
their headquarters at the geographi-
cal and railroad center of the State
the State mission board will be IN
closer touch with the members and
the interests of the denomination. II
is a step that would indicate Increased
activity on the part of the Baptists.
Two years were allowed in which to
accomplish the removal.
The Baptists have been offered
large tract of land as site for
proposed home for aged ministers and
the convention authorized it's commit
tee to accept this bequest if they saw
fit.
Bennettsville was selected as the
next place of meeting, the date being
Tuesday morning after the first Sun
day in next December, DR.. S. c. Mitch
ell, president of South Carolina Uni
versity, will preach the convention
sermon.
The citizens of Abbeville generally
attended the sessions Of the conyen-
ton and were well repaid for their
attendance, much of interest and prof
it being brought out in the discus
sions.
All in all, it was pleasant and
profitable occasion for the convention
and for her guests.

PEOPLES vs.. RACING
Attorney General-Elect Says He Will
Enforce the Law

Columbia, Dec. 9.-"Will there be
horse races in Charleston this win.
ter?" a reporter this morning asked
Attorney General-elect Thomas n.
Peoples, of Blackville, who Is in the
city on business.
IF you will look at the statutes OF
1911 you will see that the anti-raclng
law is a stringent one; that law Will
be enforced" replied Mr.. Peoples
and that was all he would say at this
time in regard to the matter.
The anti-racing law as passed last
session by the general assembly pro-
vides in brief that there shall be no
bookmaking at race tracks In this
state.
The racing question is becoming an
interesting one, since the time set Tor
the Charleston meet is only about a
month and half off. Much specula-
ton is being INDUCED in as to wheth-
er the race meet will be held. II no
betting is allowed it would seem that
the races would not be held, for IT Is
plainly evident and has always ap..
peared so that betting is the life OF
the kings sport" The attorney gen
eral-elect says the anti-racing law
will be enforced, though the racing
interests are going ahead with ar
rangements for meet IN Charlestoil
to begin in January.

COTTON MARKET
WILL Be NERVOUS
Census Report to Be Issued
Thursday.
EXCITEMENT EXPECTED ON EXCHANGE
Ginners Report Already Issued,
But Estimate Of Entire Crop
is to Come.

New Orleans, Dec. 9.-There will
probably be but two events Of i'm
portance in the cotton market. One
Will be the census bureau report on
ginning up to the end OF November
issued Monday morning, and the 9TH
er will be the crop estimate by the
department OF agriculture, which will
be issued at l o'clock Thursday af-
ternoon. Naturally the estimate will
be of more importance than the gin
ming figures and the trading OF the
entire week can hardly help revolving
around it.
AS opinion stood at the end of last
week, the census report will be bear
ish. The trade expects something
around 100000 bales. While this
is smaller than the amount turned out
to the corresponding time last year,
it is looked upon as large, consider
ing other comparisons. Bulls gloss
this over by stating that this is the
fastest picked and ginned crop ever
known, a claim that they have been
putting forward for about three years
now. Bears contend that it. points to
a larger total crop than the world
has been figuring on.
The census figures, especially II
they show any great departure from
expectations, will be used as the ba-
sis for a batch of new guesses as to
what the governments estimate OF
the crop will be, and any growth OF
sentiment one way or another that
may develop in consequence will un-
doubtedly have a quick influence on
prices. The market will probably be
very nervous with erratic fluctua-
tions, up to Thursday. If the signs
are worth anything, Thurday will be
wild day on the exchange, with
heavy trading, and, possibly, wide
price changes.
Up to recently the bulls were con-
vinced that the governments esti-
mate of the crop would be below H.
100000 bales, but private estimates
this last week have shaken that be-
lief somewhat, At the same time, 1t
is generally acknowledged that the
tendency of the government to un-
der estimate the crop should be taken
into consideration, and that figures
much over 100000 bales would be
surprising. AS sentiment now stands,
an estimate commencing with thirteen
would cause an advance, while A.
100000 bales or over, could taVor
the bears, since the estimate will not
include linters, and the short side is
bound to allow for the habit Of un-
der estimating no matter what claims
are advanced by the bulls.

JOE WRIGHT
KILLED NEGRO PRISONER

Mr.. Joe Wright, who was deputlzeo
as a special constable by Magistrate
Huckabee of Lowndesville, shot ana
killed a negro by the name OF sam
Cole last Wednesday morning. Con-
stable Wright had arrested Cole, but
when attempting to place handcufis
upon him the prisoner resisted and at
tempted to hit him with DrlcR'
whereupon the officer shot him, after
first attempting to subdue him py
striking him over the head with tne m
butt of his pistol. Cole wanted to 60
into his house on the preteXt OF get,
ting his coat, but the officer refused
him permission to do so, offering TO
allow the negro's wife to get his coat
for him.
Mr.. Wright surrendered himself to
Rural Policeman Cam the day fol-
lowing and was released on bond.
The verdict of the Coroner's jury
was that deceased came to his death
from gunshot wound at the hands OF
Joe Wright.
