Winnsboro on the morning Of June IA
as a special deputy. He was on the
courthouse steps, three steps below

all right. I have been praying"
On cross-examination the witness
denied that he had tried to per-
suade Clyde and Ernest Isenhower
not to engage In any trouble with the
officers Of the law that day. He said
| It was possible he might have advised
Clyde Isenhower to keep perfectly
quiet but he did not remember ad-
vising Ernest to stay out Of trouble.
He said that Policeman w. l. Haynes
had advised him to get his brother
Clyde out Of town. He denied telling
Mr.. Haynes that Clyde was quiet
"but he did not know about Ernest"

animation that he had one brother
| who was a rural policeman under
Sheriff Hood and another who was
and is chief Of police Of the town Of
Winnsboro. He had five brothers liv-
ing and all Of them and himself were
friends of Sheriff Hood. He had sup.
ported Sheriff Hood in his political
races. The witness testified further
that he was about so yards from the
courthouse near Chandler's store
when the shooting occurred and that
he was unarmed.
On redirect examination, he SAID

Isenhower before the shooting In
tending to act on the advice Of Mr..

"Did you, as a peace officer, make
an effort to stop this difflculty?" the
witness was asked.
1T was so quick we couldn't" was
the reply.
"Didn't you encourage the disorder
by drawing your own pistol inquired
the defense, and the witness replied
that he had drawn his pistol to pre-
vent Ernest Isenhower doing further
shooting. He further testified that he
did not see but one pistol-that OF
Ernest Isenhower in addition to his

Ernest Isenhower, If he shot, must
have done the shooting during the

I'VE been dipping into poetry, remarked
understand, but as reader. At that, |
think could do as well as some of them, if
| could also write my own license
write your own hcense?S l repeated in
bewilderment.
"Poetic license" he explained. "It's evi-
dent to me that many of the big guns do
that very thing; for no self-respecting license
they do. The big guns have all the best of
it anyway. The mere versifier must stick
to the rules of the game or be treated as a
joke; but the fellow who can get across with
the idea that he's a real poet can make his
own rules and take liberties with riming and
conmonsense that would make gargoyle
ashamed of himself, which no one could do
under a regular journeyman poets license.
take 'Lochinvar,' for instance:
So light to the Group the fair lady he swung;
So light to the saddle before her he sprung!
How could he? l ask you that. With
the lady once mounted, how could he spring
to the saddle without kicking her off in the
act-unless he mounted backward? And
who but poet himself would license poet
to make his hero do such fool thing as
that? Those Netherby people would have
died laughing at the spectacle. And that's
only the beginning; for we also have:
And save his good broadsword he weapons
had none;
He rode all unarmed and he rode all alone.
"Silly, isn't it, to crack man up as riding
unarned when he carried broadsword that
ranked with the weapons of those days about
where a machine gun does now? We
wouldn't boast of the nerve of a man these
days who went to call on his ladylove with
a gat1inq would Wep
"These poetry heroes do such very foolish
things! There's also Horatius,' you know:
SO he spake, and, speaking. sheathed
His good sword by his side,
And, with his harness on his back,
Plunged headlong in the tide.
"Can you imagine it? A man with
couple of tons of iron attached to his person,
and very likely spiked helmet, diving head
first into river! Why, he'd have spiked
himself to the bottom so hard that he'd be
there yet! It's supremely ridiculous, and
no one but major poet would have dared
even hint at such thing. What Horatius
really did, if he had the sense of brass pup,
was to jump in feet first, so that he could
begin churning himself to the surface the
minute he struck the water.
"But it's when he monkeys with ships
and railroad trains that the poet becomes
most absurd:

As he staggered down the stairs.

THE LICENSE THEY TAKE
BY ELLIOTT FLOWER

Remember that old favorite, Illustrating
the power of faith? Read ii to seafaring
man some day, and hear him snort Why,
a Captain who'd leave his post in a storm
and go skipping down to the cabin to throw
a scare into his passengers couldn't hold a
job as mule driver for a canal boat Think
of it! A great storm, when he's needed to
handle the ship, and the poet sends him bel
lowing into the cabin to start panic: with
no reason for it either; for we learn later
that they anchored safe in harbor when the
sun was shining clear! It's on a par with
the engineers story:
The train was heavily laden. so let my
engine rest.
Climbing the grading slowly till We reached
the upland's crest.
Il put that up to a railroad man once, and
he told me with much emphasis that any
engineer who let his engine rest on an up
grade with heavily loaded train would be
chased off the right of way with bricks-if
he got his train through, which he probably
wouldn't. The chances are the train would
slip back and pile up in a ditch somewhere
while the engine was resting.
"But for supreme idiocy commend me to
'Casabianca.' Why, say, if that boy had
been left in house, and the house had
caught fire, and the boy had refused to let
the firemen rescue him because Papa had
told him not to go away, you'd be sorry for
him, of course; but you'd never think of
cracking him up as anything but an example
of unprecedented imbecility! You'd reason,
We'll, that kid didn't have sense enough to
grow up anyway and let it go at that. Yet
the poet goes to work and roasts him to
death on burning ship, just because Papa
isn't there, and expects you to applaud the
inhuman acs. 1t makes me tired!
"And the riming that some of these
big guns do is simply atroCio,-si \ little
fellow couldn't get across with it in a thou
sand years. Here take Aandalay, for ex-
ample:
'On the road to Mandalay,
Where the old flotiila lay,
With our sick beneath the awnings when We
went to Mandalay.
what kind of riming is that-lay, lay,
lay? It's repetition, not rining at all You
couldn't get license to do that kind of
thing, and neither could l; so it's plain
enough that Kipling must have filled out his
own license, and the public stood for it. 1t
isn't fair; but it's done all the time-by the
big people. Dig into their work bit and
see if it isn't
Well, have and am sorry now that |

FARMERS prepare
FOR SPRING WORK
Operations Open Up With
the Approach Of
Spring
TIILERS ARE
ENVY OF MANY

With the coming of spring. the
farmers in New Castle county arc
looking ahead to their WORK which
will carry them through to next fall
aud winter. The season promises TO
be busy one. Much of the early
work on the farms will ho confined TO
plowing. From reports. there is a
considerable quantity Of land in the
county which yet remains to be plow-
ed. While much plOSing was done
last fall. the many hard and dashing
rains of the winter have greatly hard
encd much OF the soil, and il may
moan in many cases, extra work for
the farmers.
Farming seems TO be especially at
tractive this spring. since the Euro
pean war has created high prices and
many are OF the opinion that the eli
max i'm food prices, has not yet been
reached. For this reason, farmers will
work fields and meadows which have
mover been worked before and even
the fence corners. it is anticipated,
will be planted with a crop OF some
sort. Wheat, rye. oats and corn are
expected TO command high prices next
iall. Pork and beef will likely bring
good return, so farmers will strive
TO place quality as well as quantity
ON the market
About the first of May. farmers
will be beginning TO plant their corn,
which, with wheat makes the banner
crop of the country. II is expected
that New Castle county farmers viii
plant an average crop OF corn in the
spring, while il is also the opinion
that if the weather opens up suGi-
cicntly, ihorc will be paintings of

il is thought that tho acreage is not
large enough TO put In peas, as was
the case some years ago. Climatic
conditions and decrease in paying
properties is given as tho reason for
this action. Tho hot and dry weather,
experienced last spring is said to be
hard on growing peas and this is UNI
doubtedly one Of the reasons for the
failure of a majority of farmers Ia
take an interest in the crop. Peas
arc also hard To gather, tho work he
