Meggison and Dennis Mccartney, In
buggy. Mccartney fired a revol-

effect. Meggison, with a shotgun
had better luck, and several shot
struck the two Laucks in the back
OF their legs. The arrest Of the
Laucks and their trial in justice

REPLIES TO CHURCHILL.
Mayor of Scarborough Scores Ger
mans for BOmbardment.

London, Dec 21.-The mayor Of
Scarborough, replying to Winston
Spencer ChurchilVs message Of SYM
pathy at losses sustained through the
German bombardment of Scarbor-
Ough, says:
'It is evident that the enemy did
not dare to face our fleet and so at
tackled an undefended town. In this
way Scarborough has taken part in
the struggle.
"Our surprise at the attack was
greater, as we had been led to be-
lieve from the conduct of the plucky
commander of the Emden that Ger
man sailors understood something
about the glorious old traditions of
the sea. 1t is evident this is not so.
''Some newcomers into honorable
professions first learn the tricks and
lastly the traditions. AS their COM
manders get older in the services
they will find that the Iron Cross pin
ned on their breast will not shield
them from the shafts of shame and
dishonor."

New Method of Surgery i'm Treatment
Of Wounded.

Paris Correspondence in Baltimore
American.
A new plan for removing bullets
from the wounded has BEEN advanced
by Inspector General Delorme and is
receiving n great deal Of attention at
the present time. He suggested that
bullets could be removed quicker and
more effectively by the use Of a giant
electro-magnet with a pulling force Of
2,300 pounds.
Delorme delivered lecture at the
Academy of Sciences on the danger
OF infection of wounds. He pointed
out that whereas bullet wounds rarely
become infected, those inflicted by
splinters of shells which richotted off
the ground and carried dirt and frag-
ments Of clothing into the wound were
dangerous and should prove an excep-
ton to the rule of nonintervention on
the field of battle.

south Carolina Farmers Are Urged to
Take Advantage of This Opportunity

Florence, Dec. ID. l.. Baker,
district agent of the farm demonstra-
tion work, was i'm Florence this week.
He Is stres3ing the advantages Of hog
raising among the farmers now. He
says that he has been very much i'm
pressed with the necessity for stress
ing 1t very vigorously as he watched
the hog killing in progress through
the country that he has travelled over
this winter i'm South Carolina.
The raising of hogs Is profit, as we'll
as economy. The cheapest crop that
a farmer can raise is hogs and the
most profitable cne. and it is passing
strange that farmers do not pay more
attention to 1t.
Mr.. Baker urges tina, part Of the
tenable land of each farmer be devoted
to cultivated pastures for hogs. Two
and a half acres devoted to Bermuda
grass instead Of cotton will keep a SOW
and pigs in grazing feed. He offers in
evidence the experience Of farmers
who with one SOW raised in IA months
two litters Of pigs which produced
1850 pounds of meat. net weight. The
cost Of raising these pigs was negligi-
BILE, the returns far more than could
have been gotten by the best and
most cheaply made crop Of cotton or
the same land and still left some fol
expense Of feeding produce that had
been stored on the farm.
South Carolina imports each yea,
about $11.O0O.0OO worth Of hog prod.
ucts which can be raised at home and
that $11.000,00O put into something
that will be wealth and comfort pro.
ducing.
Farmers can get bulletins from

make pastures and how to feed hogs
