That is a remarkably shrewd trick

hawks out on Hickory Grove No. 2;
but nothing could be more simple. AL
most everybody who lives in the coun-

small game understands that habit the
hawk has Of selecting particular places
in given locality for his lookout
work. The topmost bough Of dead
tree is usually his favorite perching
place. And almost any dead tree close
to the open fields or places where birds
may find cover will do II 1t be broken
off high up or can be conveniently

The Yorkyille ENQUIRER says:


That is a terrific arraignment that
Mayor John P. Grace makes of Hon.
Richard S. Whaley, and that it will ex-
cite lots of comment goes without say
ing; but as to what is to be done about
1t is another matter. AS we have TAX
en- occasion to remark before, there Is
very little reason to doubt the cor
ruption of Charleston elections, and
neither is there reason to believe that
election corruption is much different in
Charleston than in many other places.
However, it is time to have a general
cleaning up. Such a cleaning up will
do good"
The place to do the cleaning up, how
ever and the method of doing it, is In
South Carolina and by the supremacy
of the moral sense of the entire people,
and not by one faction, as stepped In
guilt as'any other, attempting to wreak
revenge on the other for its own de-
feat.

Destroys Eggs and Young Birds.
or Yorkyille Enquirer:

Editor Yorkville Enquirer: ,fsl.5g ID
In a recent issue of The Enquirer,
Mr.. M. L. Ford spoke Of the bird dogs
as being very destructive to partridge
eggs. Also Mr.. Lytle Wood spoke Of
hounds as being more destructive than
bird dogs.
never owned a bird dog in my life
and never expect to own one. I don't
doubt that both bird dogs and hounds
destroy young birds and eggs. ,,.,.
From my observation, the black
snake is more destructive than either
bird dog or hound. Quite number Of
times I have caught the black snake
robbing the nest Of eggs and killing
the young birds They also climb trees
and rob nests of other valuable birds.
I make 1t point to kin every black
snake I possibly can and think 1t
would be a good idea II the state
would offer a bounty on the scalp Of
the black snake. tg W. p. Boyd.

laborers to 60 over your cotton first,
selecting from plants as described
above, and have the other laborers
pick what Is left. The other way Is
for each laborer to carry two sacks,
put the good in one and the bad In the
other We should select all the Ave
lock bolls that we can. I feel sure
that II we would select the five-ock
bolls year after year and plant small
patch each year from seed obtained
from the five lock bolls, we could al
most eliminate the four-lock bo!ls.
After this cotton. IL selected We
should be sure that we do not get 1t
mixed at the gin. Scientific farmers
tell us that the germs that produce
anthracnose are found In the old stalks
as well as In, the seed, hence we,should
plant our selected seed in a field that
did not have cotton planted on 1t the
previous year. have no information
as to how long the land will support
the anthracnose germs, and feel sure
that we should plant on land that has
not been planted in cotton for several
years. II the farmers Of Bethel town.
ship will select cotton seed from year
to year In this way we will not only
save money by Increasing our yield,
but will be able to sell our cotton seed
will aso get better price for our lint
cotton; for IL we eliminate anthrac-'
nose the lint will be longer and strong
er. i.s rg. Li. .sii a5H
I make no claim Of originality In
this selection of cotton seed. I know
attention has been called to 1t In the
farm journals, but thought by TAX
ing this subject up in our association
we might be able to bring 1t to the at
tention Of some who have not seen
such articles. I feel sure that the way
most of US get out of old ruts is to
have our attention called to better and
more modern methods, not once, but
time after time. @
Improvement is our watchword, and
this is one Of the ways that every one
In Bethel township may improve. 1t
Is a business proposition and 1t will
mean money saved, and money saved is
money made. / hope this matter will
be taken up in earnest and as sure as
we do we will have cause for congrat-
ulation. We should select seed in the
field, not only cotton seed, but corn,
etc. We. send hundreds Of dollars
from our township each year, to pur-
chase seed, when we can, by select
ing. have as good, or better, at home.

B. H. Barry made a sensation in
the Spartanburg cotton market last
Saturday by putting the price up to
IA cents, and investigation developed
that he had entered the field as an in
dependent buyer, the first the city has
known for several years. The Spar
tanburg city mills have for years op-
Grated on the theory that all Spartan
burg county cotton that comes to town
belongs to them, and when indepen-
dent buyers butt in, they proceed to
run him out. When the buyer has been
run out, prices drop down again.

Because only a very few trustees
gave their attendance at the meeting
that was to have been held last Sat-
urday, not enough to constitute a
quorum, the meeting, was postponed
until a date to be announced later. The
lack of attendance is thought to have
been due largely to the reluctance OF

Plenty Of Partridses. ~.
There is a good supply Of partridges
this year." said a man who knows, to
The Enquirer few days ago. Il have
been about in the fields good deal and
not only find all the old coveys with
which I am familiar, but some new
ones. Many of the birds are still quite
small and will not be large enough to
shoot even by the fifteenth Of Novem-
ber. The open season really ought to
be moved up to the 18th of December.
But while partridges are more plentiful
this year than last year, 1t will not ap-
pear that way after the first two weeks
of the season. The hunters will get
amongst them and get them scared and
scattered, and they will appear to be
scarce until after January, when they
will begin to appear more numerous.
That Is the way II works generally"

To RESIGN
REPORTED
Governor Said to Have Reached
Agreement With Tammany to
Drop Impeachment Move,

ALBANY. y. Y, oct when the
the high court Of impeachment be
fore which Governor William Sulzer
is being tried on charges of high
crimes and misdemeanors convened
to-day there were persistent reports
that an agreement had been reached
between the Executive and agents of
Tammany Hall by which the Cover
nor had agreed to resign if the i'm
parchment proceedings were allowed
to drop.
When announcement was made
that the sessions would be adjourned
from this afternoon until next Mon
day, the belief that such an agree
ment had been made was strength
ened.
Grave doubts were expressed. how
ever. that the actual judges who are
sitting with the Senators in the high
court of Impeachment would thus al
low the case to be halted.
The three day cessation was ex-
planned by a member of the court on
the ground that religious holiday
intervenes.
Melville Fuller. the broker who tcs-
titled yesterday as to Mr.. Suffers
Wall street dealings, protested to the
court that his evidence had been mis-
represented in the press reports.
The alleged misrepresentation to
which he took exception was a head
line in a New York newspaper say
ing that the brokerage firm of Har-
ris & Fuller had falsified its books.
MY books are absolutely correct"
Mr.. Fuller told the court
Samuel r. Frank. setnographer of
the Frawley committee which inves-
tigated the Governor, was the first
witness. His testimony related to the
vain efforts made by the committee
to get Louis Sarecky, private secre-
tary to Mr.. Sulzer, 20 testify.

guilty in the state circuit court of
arson in connection with the burning
of some ranch buildings. have secured
a stay, of sentence for a period of
thirty days. pending an appeal which
they have decided to take to the state
supreme court in the event they are
denied a new trial. They claim there
were various irregularities during
the trial which will entitle them to
another trial. Nearly the entire pop
ulation of Interior and vicinity were
witnesses in the case. The evidence
almost wholly circumstantial.
Last March the buildings on Il

picion being based upon the fact that

had arisen between himself and the
young men over money matters. One
of the witnesses in the ease was a
neighboring rancher and homestead
er named Connoyer, who testified
that he saw the two young men in
the vicinity of the Snodgress ranch
at about the time of the fire. The
defense Offered an alibi.
