KEEP YOUR SECRETS
PERSONS WHO CONFIDE IN
FRIENDS" MAKE MISTAKE.
Learn to Keep Own counseI-Affairs
Safe Only When Known by One of
Three Persons, TWO of Whom
Are Dead.

There is a fixed belief in the minds
of most women and men that no mat
ter how often they may be called
upon to listen TO the telling of other
peoples secrets, they are far too
wise to make the mistake Of telling
their own. AS matter of cact it is
the easiest thing in the world to be-
tray your own confidence, and it is
also quite the hardest thing after the
cat has been allowed to slip out of
the bag, to be forced to admit to
yourself that certain disagreeable
consequences might have been avert
ed had you taken the same precau-
ton in locking your own private af-
fairs.
The door through which most of
your secrets are likely to escape, IN
less you are as wise as serpent, is
that Of sympathy, with a big s.
You would not be human if you did
not crave sympathy, and you will al
ways find plenty Of people ready to
hand out to you what looks like the
genuine article, but is nothing more
than contemplate imitation, assum-
ed for the purpose Of leading you to
make a fool of yourself
You may seek to justify this be-
trayal of yourself in your own eyes
by arguing that your dearest friend,
Jane, is as deep as a Well and "as
silent as the grave and nine times
out Of ten you may be right in your
high opinion of James integrity as a
secret keeper" However, there is
sure to come a tenth time when Jane,
either through thoughtlessness or
malice aforethought, falls down hard
on her job, and the Utmost revela-
tions of your soul are whispered
about the community, and become a
fruitful subject of discussion among
your friends and acquaintance.
If you have learned to keep your
own counsel in the face of the tan
tiliZing temptations to tell your best
friend your right name; if when labor
ing under the stress of some great
emotion you can keep absolutely mum
about what doesn't concern anyone
but yourself, then you may be safely
entrusted with your own secrets.
Always remember that "a secret is
a secret when known to one of three
persons, two of whom are dead"

FALLING OFF IN TAG TAX.
Looks Like a Big Decrease for COM
ing Season.

That the sale of fertilizer in South
Carolina this year is little less than
equal to the record is indicated by the
amount of fertilizer taxes paid to
date, as compared with those of 1911,
the record year, according to figures
officially furnished Saturday, includ-
ing tax receipts of November %.
Figures furnished from the office
of State Treasurer Carter show that
the fertilizer tax receipts to date for
this year are s233,365.35, as COM
pared with s216,S31.43 for the cor
responding date of 1912, and $751;
57S.01 for the corresponding date OF
1911.
During the past month, approx
mately $4,000 in fertilizer taxes
have been received by the state treas
urer. Conservative estimate places
the total for the year at S24O,OO0
approximately, which will be approx
mately $4,000 less than the total
receipts for 1911.
Total receipts for 1912 are ofici-
ally given out at 1921, 1,999.5S; for
1911 as s255,0S2.49, and for 1910 as
s240,09S.95.
The unusually large cotton crop for
South Carolina in 1911 is held ac-
countable for the large amount of fer
tilizers used that year, to a large
extent 1t is authoritatively stated,
however. that an ever-decreasing per-
centage of the fertilizer used in this
state is being put under cotton, the
farmers more and more generally put
ting large quantities of fertilizers
under small grain crops, corn, tobac-
co. and the other crops grown in
South Carolina.
The tax figures for this year indl-
cate that approximately sS,346 tons
or 1,S66,92O,O00 pounds Of CONNER
cial fertilizers have been used in
South Carolina to date this year as
compared with 1,006,312 tons, or g.
012,614,000 pounds used during the
record year of 1911, to this date.

Cotton Products Statistics.

Representative Lever said We'd
nesday that he is preparing a bill
which he will introduce in the next
few days to require the government
experts to publish statistics showing
the amount of cotton seed oil pro-
ducts on hand, including refined lard,
following the precedent already set
with regard to crude oil. Mr.. Lever
remarks that government statistics
now show the details as to the source
of supply of cotton seed oil and re-
lated products, but do not give the
same information as to conditions at
the purchasing end.

STANDS BY HIS FRIEND.
j. +. HinSon Pardoned Before Be-
ginning Sentence.

The Pee Dee Daily, published at
Bennettsville, says Joe E. Hinson has
been granted a full pardon by Gov
ernor Blease before ever beginning
to serve his sentence The Daily
goes on to say:
"Hinson was charged. while ru-
raj policemen, with shooting Walter
Pruitt, beating E. P. Barber over the
head with a pistol, punching O. B.
Moye and Mrs. Moye in the stomach
with pistols while Mrs. Moye was in
delicate condition, entering the
Moye's room and lying across their
bed and child in a drunken stupor,
befouling their clothing and the
room, cursing and abusing Mrs. Bar
ber, and other outrageous conduct
during a night which he spent at the
home of E. B. Barber.
THE county supervisor employed
two firms of attorneys and the county
paid them S100 each to defend Hin
son. His trial was put off from time
to time by his attorneys. After wait
ing for several months for trial,
Mr.. and Mrs. Moye returned to their
Georgia home. Hinson was finally
brought to trial in March, 1913, for
shooting Walter Pruitt.
After very strenuous fight in his
behalf by the attorneys employed by
the jury, he was sentenced to six
months in the penitentiary. The at
torneys employed by the county ap-
pealed in the case to the Supreme
Court, and Hinson was released on
bond The appeal has never been
argued in the Supreme Court.
The governor has now annulled
the verdict of the jury and the sen
tence of the judge, and forestalled
the action of the supreme court. Hin
son was an ardent supporter of Gov
ernor Blease in his campaign for gov
ernor, and it was freely predicted
that he would never allow him to
serve sentence. There is a case still
pending in the court here against
Hinson for assault upon E. B. Bar
ber. At the last term of court, the
grand jury recommended that steps
be taken to reimburse the county for
money which had been paid out to at
torneys to defend Hinson'

First Baseball Match in Jerusalem


For the first time In the history of the
Holy City its people have thronged
around a field almost within the shadows
of its sacred walls, where contending
football teams strove together for vic
tory. The victorious team. too, was COM
posed entirely OF American students from
the Syrian Protestant college at Beyrout.
and Uncle Sans BOYS can claim to have
introduced the sport Of football into the
Holy Land The contests were spread
over four days. The first afternoon the
Beyrout men played a team made up of
the young men of the missions Of the
London Jews society and of the Church
Mission society of the city; on the Sec
ond afternoon, with team selected from
the ranks-Christian, Moslem and Jewish
of the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton of the city, on the third afternoon
with the team of st. Georges college, and
on the last afternoon with a team Sc
lected from all the Jerusalem players.
The third game was a tie, but the three
others were won by the Beyrout men.
The teams were made up of natives and
E,Iropeans, the latter being of several
religions, including Mohammedans. To-
cal band of the American colony played
on the last day. There was great en-
thusiasm, and thousands of spectators,
.including Mosem ladies in their sheets
and yeils. watched the sport.

that OF Walter Speck, a resident of
Gloucester, who eight years ago lost his
power of speech through the shock oc-
casioned by the death of his father. For
several weeks his wife was only able to
understand him by watching the move
ments of his lips, and he gave up all
hope of ever recovering his speech. Being
a football enthusiast, he one day wit
messed Gloucester versus Chetenham
match, and when the city team scored.
Speck, in his excitement, forgot that he
had been deprived of his voice, and at
tempted to cheer with the rest of the
crowd. To his amaZement and that of his
friends, his shout was heard above that
of any of those standing near. Since
then Speck has been able to converse
as well as ever and there is no likeli-
hood of his speech failing him.
One of the medical journals tells how
the fear of an accident was once the
means of restoring speech to dumb
man Mr.. j. Moore of Gosport, had
been dumb for years. when on returning
home one evening, his bicycle s<idded.
In his alarm he shouted. and was so
startled and surprised at hearing his
voice that he called out again and again,
until he was convinced that his long
lost voice had come back to him.
