Through the efficient work Of Sher-
iff Porter and his deputies on last Sat
urday night, the capture Of desperate
criminal of Jasper county was effected.
Marion Brown, q negro, who was con-
victed during the May term of court In
1913, and sentenced to serve three
years on the county chaingang, during
the month Of August in 1913, escaped
from the gang after securing the
guards rifle and shooting the guard
with the rifle, infiicting severe wound
though not q serious one. Ever since
his escape Sheriff Porter has been
making every effort within his power
to capture him, having made three
trips to Georgia, where 1t was reported
that the negro had been seen, but each
trip proved that it was the wrong ne
gro. Last Saturday some one informed
the sheriff that Brown was at his old
home in the upper portion of the coun-
" and Immediately thereafter he left
with all his deputies. They arrived at
dark and learned that he was IN a
small negro cabin alone, Whereupon
Sheriff Porter demanded that he sur
render, but he refused. Immediately
the sheriff ordered his men to fire on
the cabin, thus hoping that he would
surrender, but this also proved in vain.
After firing in the cabin for about three
hours, some one secured half dozen
sticks of dynamite, and the sheriff then
told Brown that this was his last
chance that he was going to use dyna-
mite and blow up the cabin If he did
not surrender This had the desired
effect and he stated that he would sur

protection. which assurance was given
him. After his surrender they found
three guns and rifle in his possession,
and the gun that he had in his hands
had been shot through the stock with
three different balls. showing how
near he came in losing his life in re-
sisting the officers.

The Bows Corn Club.

The Boys Corn club has demon
strated the possibilities for heavy corn
yields throughout the entire south,
but the large yields have been made
at too great cost and on a soil rob-
berry instead Of soil building basis.
Therefore the department Of agricul-
ture has made some changes regard
ing the rules governing the Boys
Corn club work which will teach the
boy farmers to be soil builders instead
of soil robbers; and at the same time
make corn production on more
economic basis. The following are
some Of the more important rules:
CD That the county demonstra-
ton agent be responsible for the corn
club work of his county and that he
time if so much be necessary, for its
success.
CD That the boy be required to
practice, so far as practicable, the
same principles of soil building, etc.
(namely, sowing of peas in corn at
last plowing, sowing cover crops Of
clovers, vetch and rye in falD as are
taught to grown demonstrators.
CD That each boy be limited to
a uniform cost of fertilizers per acre
including stable manure and CONNER
cial fertilizer and this cost not to eX-
ceed $4,000 per acre.
(4) That large premiums are to be
discouraged, but that the permiums
be divided so as to offer equal incen-
tives to all boys, especially along the
following lines: Cover crop sowing,
best written history Of crop as to
method of preparation and cultiva-
ton, best paper on method of select
GAlI al nf
best ten ears, greatest yield, and best
net profit.
go That at least five boys in the
county be induced to begin in the
spring Of 1914, a two-year rotation Of
corn and oats with the winter and
summer legumes as cover crops for
soil building purposes
(6) That the boys who enter the
two-year rotation be encouraged to
plant on ordinary land instead of
rich land.
The above rules will apply to this
years Corn club work all over the
southern states. So far there have
about 40 or IS boys joined the club in
York county for 1914, and the time
for entrance will close April Is,
1914.
The two boys that make the best
showings in York county, according
to the above rules and regulations,
will be entitled to a months free
winter course in agriculture at Glenn
son college next winter. There will
also be other prizes of different ma
lures. So boys, let's get busy and try
to make 1914 a banner year for corn
production and let York county stand
head. Send in your names to either
A. A. McKeown, Rock Hill, Jno. E.

Villa Captures Torreon.-Torreoh
fell completely into the hands OF the
rebels at 1920 last night, according to
announcement made at Juarez, by Gen.
Venustiano CarranZa.
The news first was announced To
the world when the bugler in front OF
Carran2as residence blew the staccato
notes of victory. The paean. CaTanza
said, was sounded in Juarez even be-
fore it was heard in Torreon, Villa de-
laying out of compliment to his chief.
The meagre bulletins excited an
nouncing victory after the bloodiest Sc
ries of battles known to modern MeXi-
co said that Villa captured a large
number of prisoners and that the hee-
ing federal remnant was being pur-
sued.
Whether Velasco, the federal com
mander, was captured was not stated.
There was heavy fighting yesterday, II
is understood, and the end came when,
after capturing the three remaining
barracks held in the city by the feder-
ais, the rebels stormed the trenches
and barbed wire entanglements or
Canyon de Guarache.
The prisoners captured are believed
to have been the defenders Of the bar
racks, while the troops in the canyon,
which forms an egress from the MIL
girt city, were able to escape.

Torreon Still Holds out.-Reports

Torreon Still Holds Out-Reports
that Torreon had fallen were definitely
denied by Gen. Villa last Wednesday,
His telegram was based on message
of CONGRATULATIONS on the fall" of Tor
reon dispatched to him Tuesday, by
Col. Fidel Avila, chief of arms of the

the city of Torreon, the struggle is not
yet completed. expect to obtain a tri-
umph, of which will advise you.
(Signed): Gen. Francisco Villa.
Details of the struggle received at
Juarez, Tuesday, were brief and show
ed that the relative positions Of the
contending forces have not changed to
any extent in the previous five days.
Whether the forces Of Gen. Joaquin
Maas, marching to the relief OF the
federals at Torreon, have yet engaged
those Of the rebel general, MoncloVio
Herrera, sent to meet him, was not
known. No confirmation was received

soldiers Of Gen. Mas was blown up by
a dynamite mine. The column under
command of Gen. Mas was said TO
number 4,50O men. To meet him 1t was
reported Gen. Herrera was detailed by
Gen. Villa. An engagement between
these forces was expected hourly. Mi

Reckham and Platform

"At the death of William Goebel Mr..
Beckham became Governor. He &C.
cepted without question the platform
of his party. He earnestly professed
his intention to carry out to the letter
the policies of his great predecessor.
Democrats all over the State accepted
that profession without question. Mr..
Richard w. Knott accepted his pro-
fessions and for a time believed them.
How did this same Richard w.
Knott regard Mr.. Beckham then? Free
from questionable corporate alliances,
unhampered and uncontrolled 5y lob
byists, tricksters and political apos-
tates. AS long as Beckham looked to
Knott like Goebel or Bryan, Marshall
or Carmack, Kern or Sherley, he re-
ceived the same treatment and was
honored by the same wanton and sour
rilous abuse. Then he was neither
wise or capable or strong. Then he
was not followed by cheering throngs
because he was not underwritten by
Sam Shackelford. Then he was no
part of a stateman because he found
no favor with the interests. Then in
the eyes of Knott he was weak, green
and pitiful On March IA, 1900, Knott
declared:
- The rumor that Gov Taylor intends
to abduct young Beckham was probably
started in order to keep the young thing
from playing in the streets, and not even
the most bitter grown man in the ranks
OF the revolu tionists believes that Gov
Taylor intends TO become q child stealer.
1T was only after Beckham became the
choice of the Tobacco Trust; IL was Beck
ham, the railroads favorite, Beckham. the
recipient Of the secret and silent benedic-
lions of Ryan ana Rockefeller, that sud
denly blossomed into the paragon Of the
age, the model for all the statesmen of
his time.

MANAGEMENT OF RUNT PIGS
Excellent Practise TO Place Them In
Pasture by Themselves to Avoid
Jostling and Crowding.
CBy W. +. PURDUEJ

Some runts are naturally weaklings,
while others are the result of injuries
or underfeeding. The poor feeder will
have more runts in his herd than the
good feeder-no question about that.
We always place ours in a lot or
field by themselves, where they will
have good pasture, and chance to
eat their meals without being knocked
and jostled around by their larger
mates. The poor things never have
half a chance when allowed to run
with the herd, and in consequence
they will never pay for the feed they
consume.
By separating them, however, and
giving these runts some special care
they ought to return some profit.
Ground grain mixed into a thick
slop with milk. is what the runts need,
instead Of an exclusive diet of ear
corn. Then keep them free from lice,
and provide them with warm shelter
so that all the profit viii not be chilled
out in damp or cold weather.
