PROGRESSIVE FARMING,

one OF the foremost progressive farm

now on: Her farmers have made

the ground largely increased acre
ages OF wheat, oats and other small
gram crops. This is good begin

besides. Methods have to be
changed, for OcOrce has run too

nave pinned their faith entirely to
that staple TO their decided disad-

CAMDEN MAN SHOT TO DEATH
Twelve Years Ago Slain Man Killed
Negro i'm Camden.

Camden, Dec. 2G.-Jas. Vaughan,
member Of a prominent family Of
this county, was shot to-day and in
stantly killed a few miles above
Camden by Joe Banks.
Vaughan's father witness to the
killing, states thai The man was
drunk and deliberately walked Up to
Vaughan and fired two shots, one
taking effect in the heart. There
had been no previous difficulty be-
tween the men, and the cause of the
shooting is unknown. Banks Is now
in the county Jail.
A singular coincident in connec-

that about IL years ago, on Christ

negro on the streets of Camden. tie

an inquest was held over George Glib

Spight, another negro, was badly
beaten. The negroes are from
South Carolina, just across the river
The cOroner's jury returned a verdict
of murder against w. p. Mcclure,

1t is to be hoped that there will be
no "whitcwashing' we believe
there will be none-in the investiga-
ton that is to be held on the Caro-
lima side next week. The Georgia
officials seem to have acted with very
proper promptness in the cases that
concerned the Georgia side Of the
river. Let South Carolina officials
act with a determination that no in
justice shall be done to any man. yet
that the majesty Of the law shall be
upheld, and that the guilty parties,
regardless OF position, family, innu-
encc, or any other consideration, may
be speedily brought before the bar Of
Justice
News reaches us now that the third
negro has died, this one being Tom
Spight, who has been held for safe
keeping in the Hart county Jail. The
following announcement was con-
tanned in the Atlanta Constitution Of
Tuesday morning:
Governor John NJ. Saton last
night received Il telegram from Mayor
Thornton, Of IIartwell asking him TO
send troops to Hart county to protect
| the prisoners there from threatened
mob.
"It seems that last week two ne
groCS were shot to death and two
| badly beaten on the bridge between
| Hart county, Georgia, and Oconec
county, South Carolina. One Of the
ncgrcS who was beaten died that
night and the other died last night
in the Hart county jail.
, "Thc corOner's jury in Hart county
met. and after careful consideration
charges Of murder against a mum
Der OF prominent South Carolinians.
No arrests. however, have ever been
| made.
Last night Hart coutny authori-
| ties received information that a mob
was coming from Oconcc county to
storm the Hart county Jail and take
| out the fourth negro to lynch him,
Oconec citizens not knowing at that
time that he was already dead
"Fcaring that when they found this
negro was dead there would follow a
wholesale lynching Of other negroes
| in the jail, the mayor Of Hartwcll ap-
| pCalcd to the Governor for troops.
Governor Slaton responded with in
struCtiOus to the mayor to confer
with the sheriff about the matter and
try to swear in possec to take care
OF the situation. If the sherim was
unable to protect his prisoners the
Governor was willing tc send troops,
but did not want to do so unless alb
Solutcly necessary. Later informal
ton was that the sheriff would prob
ably be able to handle the situation
without militia"

GREENVLLE G HAS BOMB SCARE.
Bomb May Be Filled With Dynamite
or SawduSt.

or SaWuuSt.
Greenville, Dec. 2S.-With a bomb
in his possession, which he is scared
to open, and with note stating that
if he did not stop" he would be at
tended to, T. A. Honour, an alder
man of West Greenville, formerly
last night.
The bomb was discovered early
yesterday morning and is supposed to
be some kind Of an explosive placed
in a can, which was set up on his
front walk, containing a note read
ing:
''T. A. II.
'U stop now or we will stop you"
Just what this means is hard to
imagine, though it was construed to
mean that those who opposed the
formation of a new corporation were
down on the ''powers that be" in the
new town. Only upon the night be
fore the election the ballot boxes
were burned in the store Of J. NJ
Phillips, and it was believed that the
place was burned by those who were
opposed to the incorporation, though
it was never proven that this was the
case.
Mr.. Honour, in telling Of the oc-
currence, stated that member Of
the family went out this morning
and found the can with the note sit
ting on the cement walk leading from
the front steps to the street. This
walk is not more than - feet in
length and the can, with the eXplo-
Sivc, if it contains an explosive, could
not have been more than a few feet
from the house.
There was an envelope containing
the note and all of the writing was
done with printed letters That is.
all the letters were cut out of some
paper or magazine and glued on a
plain sheet &; paper, thereby lodging
any handwriting experts in case there
should be arrests.
The bomb is out at Mr.. Honour's,
and any one who is an expert at
opening bombs can nave the pleasure
Of opening this one. The can con-
tains something heavy, or, in fact,
has about the weight of similar
packet Of dynamite or powder and
the top is fastened down with
string.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Honour and
others who have seen the package
that if it is opened there is a chance
of the dynamite being exploded by a
can in such a way that this would
cause the explosion. There may be
nothing in the can but saw Wdust. but,
lie that as it may, no one has come
forward and stated willingness to
open it and see what the contents
are.
"They are going to the limit to
keep us from forming an incorpora-
tion," said J. NJ. Phillips, the mayor,
who was called over to investigate
the latest "blackhand" letter, "but
they have missed their guess. We are
going to break up a certain element
Of lawless individuals, though we re-
aliZe it is hard task. They have
managed to keep the affair in the
courts since we started the corpora
ton, and some one burned up my
store in an effort to destroy the files
and ballot boxes; but | managed to
save them, and so the election was
held"

DEBT-PAYING AND COTTON


debts possible as means Of helE .ru
out the financial sitW n. We .,.
glad to have evidences at our p. ...
tion is Concurred sin by not few of
our people-not only those who owe
us. but those who owe other ac-
counts, and who have stated that it
will be their aim to close up all out
standing bills as speedily as possible.
There is no questioning the fact
that the South is hard hit in a finan-
Cial way. Yet we are inclined to the
belief that we have all "hollered
louder" than the actual pinch really
justified. In spite of the fact that
the Southern farmer has received an
awful jolt in his cotton transactions,
being forced to sell below cost if he
sold, or hold for d living price that
may never be realized, it is crafty
ing to know that the Southern far
mcr, in the face o. this aGyersity, is
infinitely better OFF than he was ten
years ago. Had such a crisis arisen
then as has come this year, the
have gone to the wall" for there
were few farmers indeed who could
have met the situation and stood
their ground. To-day, however. the
situation differs materially. That
the Southern farmer has been hard
hit no one will deny, but it is not
reasonable for any one to deny that
he is so much better able - stand
the shock now than he would have
been 4 few years back that. in spite
OF his advcrsity. his condition now is
better by far than then.
The farmer is going to go ahead
and benefit by this Set-baCk-that is.
the majority Of the Southern farm
erS are going TO do so. But there
are some who will not profit by their
sad experience. Only few days ago
we heard a farmer answer the Ques-
ton as to what he was going to raise
this coming year with the simple
word "COtton.' That man is tempt
ing fate and counting disaster. Cot
tom is mighty good thing in its
place, and its only place on the
Southern farm is at the top Of the
list Of surplus crops. There it
stands as constant source of hope
and strength. Anywhere else it is a
constant mcnaCe--a ball and chain
that is apt at any moment to over
balance the wearer and drag him
down into the financial Whirlpool
dead weight that will prevent his
rising to the surface to come back"
as he is going to do this time.
"COtton" is going to be the stumb-
ling stone of the Southern farmer in
1913 if he does not watch himself
and keep himself in check. There
are hundreds OF farmers every year
who keep themselves busy "watch-
ing" their neighbors while they un-
Willingly steal prosperity from
themselves.
MIR. Farmer, what are YOU going
to plant in 1915? "COttOn'? Don't
ilirt longer with fate, planting cotton
to the neglect OF grain and feed
crops. Plant enough corn to insure
yourself ample feed for your stock
ana some to spare. 1t is too late
now to give the small grams. such as
wheat and oats and rye, and so on,
extensive consideration as crops for
grain next spring. But these grains
Will be we'll worth careful conSidera-
ton during tn" coming months as
