Records of exceptionally heavy pro-
duction of apples from indi-
vidual trees are common in every
apple growing section, but these, as
a rule, furnish only the yield Of one
year, or two years at most. A Cana
dian experiment station has complet-
ed record of SO varieties of apples
extending over score of years since
the trees came into bearing. Of the
varieties tested, the Mcintosh showed
the greatest variation of production.
The highest yield was 95 bushels from
one tree, and the lowest, 20 bushels,
during the 20-year period mentioned.
Two Duchess trees produced only II
bushels The highest yield of yell
low Transparent was 81 bushels and
the lowest II bushels. The maximum
yield of an average of bushels or
less annually to the tree seems I'M
proftably low to the apple grower
whose trees are large and highly pro-
ductive. A widely known fruit grow
er of the Empire state asserts that
he has satisfactory evidence that a
Handy apple tree in Patrick county,
Va, has borne 1872 bushels of apples
in one year; and that from Blue
Pearmain tree in Delaware county,
Ohio, 80 barrels of apples were packed
in the fall of 1857.

After extensive research into the
question of legislation to stop unnec-
essary Growing Of ROSTERS in the city
during the wee hours of the morning
Deputy City Attorney Myers of Port
land has decided that it is better to
try to stop the disturbances by ply
steal process rather than by law. Ac-
cordingly, he has recommended that
instead of trying to pass an anti
rooster ordinance the city council
should take steps to require the install
lation of crow preventers in chicken
coops. He says he has found out that
if board is placed above the roost
of a rooster so that the bird cannot
stretch his neck, he cannot crow. In
asmuch as it. has been found that the
roosters remain on their perches while
growing early in the morning, Mr..
Myers says the disturbances can be
curbed until the boosters fly down
from their roosts after daybreak. Az
ter that, he says, there is no need
to prevent their growing.

A transportation company is not
compelled to accept shipments of Ii
quor into "dry" territory, according
to a decision rendered in United
States district court by Judge Bean
in the case of F. Zimmerman & Co.
wholesale liquor merchants of Port
land, against the 0. w. R. & N. and
the Oregon Short Line. Plaintiff asked
that the railroad companies be COM
PEELED to accept liquors at Portland
consigned to Hepburn, Idaho. The
railroads had refused to accept the
shipment because of the Webb-Ken-
yon act, which prohibits the shipment
of liquor into dry territory from an
other state Judge Bean in his deci-
sion says that while the Webb-Ken-
Won law has been held unconstitutional
by one of the lower courts of Iowa, the
supreme urt of Delaware, the only
court of last resort which to his
has passed on the act, has
held the law to be constitutional. 'tThe
question can be determined finally
only by the supreme court of the
United States" says Judge Bean, "and

Practical trial of government own

posed in bill approved by the house
postoffice and post roads committee.
The measure would appropriate $780,
900 to be used by the postmaster gen

average construction cost, reports be-

$1,000 for 60-foot steel cars. The

now owned by the railroads, is ap-
proximately $4,000 car year. The

If one is TO succeed in the retail
trade, John Wanamaker declares in
a recent address, the first require
ment is to carry good merchandise.
The next important thing is good adj
vertising. 1t is poor economy, as he
has proved by experience, to have in
the shop what most people want, but
which only one here and there happen
to know you have. Good advertising
extends acquaintance. 1t supplies
prop for good merchandise. The Wan
amaker view is that good advertising
is "a necessity to business that is
to keep up a healthy growth"

Home Mission News.

Tuesday afternoon at four O'Clock
the Home Mission society held its
October meeting at Trinity Metho-
dist church. After the usual rou-
tine of devotional exercises and busi-
ness matters, those present listened
with interest to the report of the
annual meeting recently held at
Conway by the delegate to that meet
ing, Mrs. E. o. Kirsch, which was
nicely supplemented by Miss l..
Cleckley, the district secretary, who
was also present at this conference.
At Conway there were workers dl-
rect from the field of home missions.
The speakers were practical and
could give first-hand information.
The home mission work of the South
ern Methodist church was strongly
emphasized, and it is certain that
any one who attended all of these
sessions must be better informed and
consequently more interested in the
work. Mrs. Mcdonald, of Nashville,
Tenn, who is an authority on mis-
sion work, was the chief speaker,
and her addresses were brim full of
interest and inspiration. Mrs. Bourne,
our conference corresponding secre>
tary, reports sixteen new auxiliaries
with four hundred members. We
have now one hundred, and sixteen
adult societies with two thousand
four hundred and seven members and
four hundred and eighty enrolled in
the young peoples societies. We
have now six trained workers in
South Carolina, and two city mis-
sionaries. Orangeburg is the banner
district, and has been for the past
two years.
We would also claim in all modes
ty the banner for our own Bamberg
auxiliary. Anderson, Spartanburg,
Chester, and Manning extended in
vitations for the next years confer
ence. The invitation to meet at
Chester was accepted.

Mr.. Chas. D. Fielder, a son of Capt.

residence in this city last Sunday
morning at nine O'Clock, after an ex-
tended illness. His health broke
down last year, and he spent long
time in Asheville, N. c., but he came
home several weeks ago and grew
worse until the end came.
The burial took place at Restland

o'clock, in the presence of a large
number of the friends of Mr.. Fielder

A County Fair.

Editor The Bamberg Herald: AS
the question is just at this time being
often asked, are you going to the
state fair, or to some county fair,
would it not be we'll for the good
people of Bamberg county to begin
to agitate the question of having a
county fair next year. l know it is
too late to have one this year, but as
we have one of the finest counties in
the state and as the counties are hav-
ing such fine success with their coun-
ty fairs, see no reason why Bamberg
county should not have one. By
starting the ball to rolling now, ]
feel sure that by the fall Of 1914 we
could have a fair equal to other
counties and of which we all would
feel proud. What say you?

SHERIFF CARRIES OUT PLANS.
Closes Club at Anderson After Civ
ing Fair Warning.

luS Il dIf "dFuuSs
Anderson, Oct. 2S.-The Dixie
Social Club has been closed by Sheriff
Joe NJ. H. Ashley, and small quanti-
ty of beer. and whiskey, along with
the furnishings, etc., of the place,
seized. When the place was first
raided thirty-six bottles of beer and
two quarts of whiskey were found,
and the doors were closed and locked.
Later, when the sheriff returned, he
found that a window had been taken
out and the beer and whiskey had
been stolen. However, he got the
rest of the stuff.
The raid was made following his
order issued three weeks ago to the
effect that all social clubs retire from
business, so far as the keeping of any
intoXicants was concerned. The
Dixie is the only one from which
complaint has arisen since that time.

PAUL METTS TO RECOVER.
Wounded Man Brought from Do
range to Hospital.

Branchville, Oct. 27.-Informatlou
about the shooting scrape at Dorange
last night, when Paul Metts, young
white man, was badly wounded, it is
alleged, by a negro, Warren Keit, is
difficult to obtain. Eyewitnesses of
the affair practically refuse to give
any of the details.
Metts, who was struck in the abdo-
men by a bullet, was taken to hos
pital in Charleston on an early train
this morning He was still alive at
last reports, but it is said that the
physicians consider that he has only a
slight chance for recovery.
From what can be learned it seems
that the negro and couple of young
men became engaged in quarrel,
the negro shooting at the white men
twice, one of the balls, intended for
another, striking Metts, who was in
the crowd.
Keitt has not been apprehended.
He is about % years of age and had
lust returned from Florida on a
train, which arrived at Dorange a
short time before the shooting.

Dear Courier: Sunday the 18th
inst. was a good day with us at the
Bamberg Baptist church. preached
in the morning to full house. After
the sermon we observed the Lord S
supper, using for the first time our
beautiful silver individual commun-
ion service. l suppose we had the
largest number of communicates
present in the history of the church.
At night l baptized six and am sure
others will follow soon.
We go to the Association the 21st
inst. with our mission apportion-
ments far more than paid, besides
buying a good piano for the Sunday
school room.
Our Sunday-school is doing fine,
having won both banners for
highest average attendance during
the year, and one for highest average
contribution per scholar during the
year-from the Barnwell and Bam-
berg County Sunday-school Conven-
ton.
In fact, our work is moving on
nicely in every way. Time was when
others rather crowded over the Bap-
lists at Bamberg; but things seem to
be coming our way now, and the
