caught fire in some mysterious
manner and was wrapped in
flames before the alarm sounded.
A freight train standing nearby

wards the track and threatening
to set fire to the cars. A large
crowd gathered in a short time
and all possible assistance was
rendered. Theloss has no, been
estimated.
!. Walter Cox, a travelling man
of Seneca, was in town at the
time the fire broke out demon

instrument he fell from the ssoef
of the burning building and was
severely injured internally. He
was taken to his home at Seneca.

The Ieguminouss crops, such
as cloYers and Vetches. gather
nitrogen in large quantities at

a man can add to his soil by
turning under his leg1lmes:
Care should also be taken in
the case of small grains, such
as oats and rye, planted for
cover crops, not to plow them
under too early. However. ia :
these;cases, care must also bg
taken got to let them grow 80

begin to sFain they will take too
much moistuSe out of~fhe soil
and will maka it td,tmpy and

1eaG family, was hit on the head
with a gun by Luther Hen,
dricks, his neighbor, also of a
prominent family, and his skull
fractured. from which Wouqd
he died five days later.
1t is hard to get at the facts of
the affair at present, as Herman
Mullinax, the only flying eye
witness besides the accused. can
not be found at present.
1t seems that someone. shot
into the home of Mack jameson,
a negro tenant on the Hendricks
place. Wednesday night, and
that Mr.. Hendricks got his gun
and went out to hunt the party
who did the shooting He was
either accompanied or joined by
Adcox and Jenkins and they
met up with Henry Brock and
Herman Mullinax, who it is
said were opossum hunting.
Brock was going to spend the
night with Mullinax and both
had guns. preparatory .tashunt-,
ing the next day. What kind
of a difficulty took place or how
it began has not been made
known, but it resulted as stated
above. It is not known who
shot into the tenant house.
Mr.. Hendricks sent to Liberty
for a policeman and a doctor,
who came to the scene. Young
Brock was knocked unconscious
by the lick and remained lin a.
semi-conscious condition until
his death. He was taken to a
hospital in Greenyille and an
operation performed on him, but
he died Monday afternoon at 4
o'clock.
The occurrence took place on
the public road-the line be-
tween the farms of Mr.. Brock
and Mr.. Hendricks.
!. Luther Hendricks came TO
Pickens Monday and surrender
ed. He's now in jail here and
efforts are being made to get bail
for him. Sheriff Roark arrested
Bramlett AdcoN and Jenkins,
and they are also in Jail. Carey

the defense, and the State will
also likely BE- represented by
able lawyer.

wears of age and a son of Mr..
William Brock. Luther Hen

is a son of Mr.. James Hendricks.

Life lasts only a little while,

than if it had lasted upon a dull

ADVERTISING SERVICE

On and after Nav 1914 advertisements in The P1cKENs
SENTINEL will he charged for at higher rate than is now
charged.
This increase in price will be made account OF in
creased and better service given owing to the greatncrease
in The Sentinel's circulation
The price of advertisements however is not increased
in proportion to circulation Since January we have
added more than 1000 to subscription lst
but we have raised advertising rates only two cents an
inch to regular advertisers. Occasional intermittent
advertisers are charged higher rate.
We believe this increased service at such slight raise
in price will be appreciated by shrewd business men, who
now have opportunity which they have never had before
to tell the people of this county what they haye to SELL we
have purposely made this low rate because we believe
will help the town Pceps giving the merchants chance
to advertise extensively at small cost.
The subscribers of The Sentinel people OF Glass; they
live we'll and have money to spend and it is our opinion
that they can their buying Pckens their advantage
