DO YOU RAISE SWEET PoTAToE.
Clemson Extension Division Gives
Particulars Regarding Black Rot.

The black rot Of sweet potatoes
seems to be widely distributed
through South Carolina and In many
cases Is causing serious loss. This
disease, where present, is readily
recognized in the fall when the pota-
toes are dug. At this time 1t occurs
as black, notified areas over the sur
a OF the potatoes. The disease
does not seem to cause serious trou-
bic in the fall, but when potatoes
affected with it are stored in banks
or houses, the disease becomes more
active and causes a rotting of the DO
tatoes. In many instances we have
round whole banks Of potatoes de-
stroyed by this rot.
1t frequently happens hat all of
the potatoes in a bank are destroyed.
In such instances the ones that keep
through the winter and are not badly
rotted are used in the next crop.
The disease was carried back to the
held on these slips. 1t remains there.
ttacks the potatoes when they form
and Is brought back again to the
bank after digging time. In this
way 1t continues from year to year.
Since this troublesome disease Is
spread Through the slips which grow
from diseased potatoes, it Is very
necessary at this time of year that
we secure seed potatoes for bedding
which are free from disease. Where
no such seed potatoes are available,
1t Is advisable to plant a small Dor
tion OF the patch from the earliest
slips % can get and then as soon as
these put out vines, make cuttings
from the vines with which to finish
the planting. Black rot Is a root
disease and vines taken from dis
eased plants will produce other
plants free from disease. Where the
disease IS present IT Is Of course nee
essary to nr ctice a rotation. When
you grow sweet potatoes free from
disease o will find that it Is an
easy matter to keep them.

COLLAPSED $50 FEET IN AIR.
A Tragic Fate is Met by Five FrencT
B~alloOnists.

Noisy LeGrand, France, April II.
One OF the most terrible accidents
to a spherical balloon in many years
occurred here this afternoon. The
military balloon Zodiac collapsed at
a height Of about $50 feet and fell
to the ground with it's five occupants,
all of whom were killed.
The Zodiac, which had a CAPACITY
Of 1000 cubic meters, was inflated
with ordinary gas and left the aero
club park with the military aero
nauts, Capt. Clavenad and Denoue,
Lieut.. de V~aisselot and Artilleryman
Rechy, and the civilian pilot, Aumont
Thieville, aboard. Propelled by q
strong wind the balloon passed rap
idly owe Paris and arrived at Noisy
LeGrand. Observers suddenly saw
1t shrivel up and fall. Laborers
working in the fields rushed to the
assistance of the aeronauts, but had
difficulty In extricating them from
the vast mass Of silk.
Three OF the men--Clavenad,
Rechy and Thieville-were killed
outright. Denoue and de Vaisselot
were still breathing. They we're
placed in an automobile which hap
pened to be passing and rushed to
the military hospital at Vincennes.
Denoue died on the way and de yais-
selot died at the hospital.
The exact cause of the accident is
a mystery. The collapse was due to
a tear In the covering which appar-
emily was made int intentionally. The
theory is that something went wrong
with the valve and that one OF the
aeronamts lost his head and cut the
cover; causing the immediate defa-
ton Of the balloon.
The log indicates that the Zodiac
passed over Paris at an altitude of
about 2,500 feet after which 1t
dropped and then assembled above the
clouds. Here the log stopped.

Made Strong and Well BY Vinol.
When we tell you that vinol is the
best remedy in our whole, stock for
making weak, puny, ailing children
strong, robust and rosy, we are only
telling you what has been proved by
hundreds Of mothers.
Mrs. w. o. Strother, Raleigh, N. c.,
says: my little girl, Hazel, has been
taking Vinol to build her up after q
severe spell of sickness. 1t has done
30 much good by restoring her appe.
title and building up her strength that
/ think Vinol Is the finest tonic ever
prepared, and I am telling everyone
about it."
What Vinol did for this little
girl 1t will do for very weak and
ailing child, because sickly children
need the strengthening cod liver
elements and the tonic iron that
Vinol contains-that Is why Vinol
builds them up quickly and gives
them a fine, healthy color. 1t is
pleasant to take, and we guar
antee that the results will satisfy

BENJAMIN JOHN IN TOLLS.
Charged With Numbering His Com.
Notwithstanding Funds.

Camden, April 15.-Abraham Mi
chael was shot to death near the
Wateree river yesterday about noon.
1T is alleged that the shooting was
done by Benjamin John, both repre-
senting themselves as ministers from
Turkey, touring America to collect
funds for Christian churches in the
old country. Tho killing has been
the chief topic of cow. rsation on
the s1reets to-day.
Both Michael and John appeared
b,fore Mayor Brasington yesterday
and asked permission to solicit
chu"ch funds. Mayor ~Brssington
told Item to present their creden-
tials to a Camden minister, and If
favorably pa 'sed upon he would con-
slider the request. They left Cam
den later on foot, following the Sea-
board tracks In the direction Of Co
lumbia. They passed Section Mas
ter Sanders and a force of hands.
Later John returned from across the
river alone.
Upon being questioned by Mr.. San
ders as to the whereabouts Of his
companion, he said that he left him
at the crossing near Lugoff. Later
in the day Mr.. Sanders started to-
wards Lugoff OF his hand car in
specting the track. When crossing
a culvert hear Mr.. Kennedy's plan
tation he noticed the water backed
up in the %culvert's entrance and a
pair Of feet projecting from same.
Upon Investigation the bullet-rid-
died body Of Michael was found.
The coroner and sheriff were no.
titled. Several persons reported that
they saw a foreign looking mar has
tening towards Sheppard. Sheriff
Huckabee had Constable Mcdowell
arrested him at Bethune. He was
placed In jail here at midnight and
protested his innocence. 1t is said
that Flora Kershaw, who lives on
tho Kennedy plantation, saw the two
men fighting on the track and saw
n shoot the other to death and
then place HIS body in the culvert,
placing the dead mans coat over his
heal.
John changed his clothes near
Sheppard. These were found In the
