HIS FIRST LONG TROUSERS
Youngsters DesireI to Emerge From
Status Of "SmalI Boy" Almost Led
to Tragedy.

In a certain uptown neighborhood,
which shall. for obvious reasons, be
nameless, a small tragtcomedy was
enacted during the past week.. This
small drama seems to have it's points
of absolute originality, so far as re-
corded history permits us to judge.
But here is the case:
In the uptown neighborhood in ques-
ton two small boys reside. They are
not SO small, either, these boys. The
fact is, the whole issue Of the tragi-
comedy hangs on the size of the boys.
One party to the struggle regards
them as being small. The second party
regards them as being relatively large.
Each party consists Of two persons,
so that the drama end is not yet in
sight.

Institute.

\ Yorkville.-A farmers institute was
held here recently in the graded
school building. The meeting was
called to order at. II o'clock by the
county demonstration agent, Jno. R.

addresses were made by Prot. Harper
of Clemson College, Paul H. Calvin,

States department Of agriculture, and
Mr., McKeown, the special demonstra-
ton agent of Rock Hill.
Prof. Harper spoke principally on
fertilizers. He advised the farmers
to reduce their cotton and corn acre
age and grow nitrogen produc'
ing crops. He censured the farmers
for buying potash and said the way
to obtain it was by deep plowing.

scampered up the hill. In fact, she
rode close beside him, squirting when
he spurred and, finally, when the
shower of stray bullets had passed,
she led on around the house.

"Adios," he said, coming close and
holding out his black hand; II go this
way!" And he pointed along the ridge.
But why?" said Bud, still at a loss
to account for his haste. Then. seeing
the reticence in the Indians eyes, he
thrust out his hand in return.
"Adios. Amigo mio!" he replied, and
with a quick grip the Yaqui was gone.
With that same deceptive speed he
shambled through the bushes, still lug

higher ground. Bud knew he had

There were some brush fences to be
