NEWSPAPER WINS CASE.
Jury Returns Verdict for Spar
tanburq Paper.

Spartanburg, November 4:-The
case of ] A Foster against the Jour-
nal Publishing Company, suit for
$4,000 damages, was won by the
newspaper in the court of common
pleas here today, when the jury rem
dered verdict in favor of the de-
fendant company. The trial of the
case has consumed the greater part
of TWO days. Mr. Foster, who is the
superintendent of a large fertilizer
company, was the owner of a bull
alleged to have gored to death a
negro more than year ago. Over
an article published in the Journal
touching the incident head was
written in which it was made to ap-
pear that the owner of the bull was
a negro. The headline read, Negro
Says His Bull Not Vicious. The
body of the article referred to Mr."
Foster and spoke of Mr. Fosters ne
gro servants. The suit was brought
on the ground that Mr. Foster had
been called a negro and had suffered
humiliation.

EVANGELIST at Andrews.
Editor County Record

Editor County Record
Georgetown is trying to secure B
F McLendon for an evangelistic
campaign. McLendon is now con-
ducting in Andrews one of the most
successful reyivals that has ever
been held in the eastern section of
the State. Under his ministry this
year there have been thousands of
conversions and 1902 accessions to
the churches. Dozens of towns
throughout the South are trying to
secure his services for the coming
year. His next meeting no doubt
will be a tabernacle meeting in Or
angeburg, where it is planned to
erect a special building seating from
three to four thousand people. This
mans rhetoric is faulty, his language
oftentimes incorrect, his manner un-
conventional, but he is attracting
more people from all walks of life
than any preacher in the South.
Great crowds are coming out to
hear McLendon every night, and
among the converts are some of the
most prominent men of Andrews.

News of the sinking of the Anco-

in official circles at Washington. as
the incident is regarded as fore
shadowing a new controversy be-
tween the United States and Austria
similar to the critical dispute with
Germany which followed the torpe-
doing of the Lusitania. Before max

are awaiting information upon two
points whether the vessel was tor
pedoed without warning and wheth.

victims.
The Ancona sailed from New York
for Naples October II. She had on
board 1,245 Italian reservists and a
general cargo. She arrived at Naples

New York November 9.

Opinion OF Experts.

A press dispatch from Washing.

says that military experts in Wash.

opinion that Germany will eventu-
ally win in this war" The amazing
performances of German armies in
the field have brought about this
change of opinion, it is stated. 1t
may be observed that it is not stated
who the experts are. The fact must
be recognized that the German ar
mics are performing amazing feats,
but the English navy still rides the
seas and Germany is locked as tight
as can be from other countries.
How long can her own resources
hold out? Indefinitely? 1t is hard
to believe she can continue much
longer the struggle which has in
volved practically every man. wom-

Think Before You Plant

The editor of this paper does not
profess to be an authority on farming,
but to our mind it would seem that
the following of a few simple rules
would result in more satisfactory
results from the standpoint Of the
tiller of the soil.
Produce enough Of each article
needed to subsist the family from
year to year and feed the stock
without having to 60 into the mar
ket to buy those articles at high
prices. Let this he carefully figured
out before planting time and see
that provision is made for quite
enough of each article of diet.
Keep enough hogs, cattle and
poultry to supply all of the meat
and eggs required during the year
without having to buy at the end OF
the season.
Instead of planting the surplus
acreage to the time honored crops
that yield small returns, study the
market reports carefully and select
crops that will produce well on the
particular land in question and yet
bring a high price in the city mar
kets. Then put every available
acre and all possible energy into
producing large yield from those
crops and sell in the city markets
when prices are at high tide.
To avoid wearing out the land ro-
tate the crops, always selecting
those articles that bring highest
prices and yield the largest crops to
the acre, thus producing the great
est financial returns.
Study the different crops each
season and devise ways and means
of increasing the yield while at the
same time reducing the cost OF pro-
duction. This is not a difficult
proposition if a person goes at it
scientifically and with determine
ton to succeed.
When reports indicate that the
country is going in heavily for one
certain crop, let that crop alone and
raise something else equally as pro-
ductive of financial returns. The
farmer who is long on short crop
has a small gold mine.
Don't be afraid to try something
new. Others all over this country
are becoming rich by getting in on
the ground floor of a new and good
thing.

FIRST VIEW OF PORTUGAL
Writer Describes splendor Of Scene
as He Entered the Wondrous
Harbor Of Lisbon.

The sun was nearing the horizon as
the sea narrowed to a strait. and to
the left the old Tower of Belem again
awoke memories Of Vasco da Cana
and his glorious return, writes Ernest
Peixotto in Scribner's. Now as we
threaded the narrows, the pale houses
Of Lisbon, clustered thick as eggs in
basket, pink, blue, ochre and white,
pile up the hills to the Ajuda palace,
and we entered the broad bay formed
by the Tagus Just as It empties into
the sea-one of the largest harbors
in Europe, that, however, with its
sparse shipping, now seems like a
frame too large for it's picture.
Amid great hustle and confusion we
were landed in a tender at the AL
fandega, took a cab with a pair of
rafting ponies, sped through the hilly
streets of the city, and then the broad
Avenida opened before us, and we
drew up at our hotel.
The first impression from our win
dow next morning was a most pleas
ant one. And, indeed, Lisbon leaves
the definite impression Of a gay,
bright capital, If not of a truly beau
tiful city. Beautiful it certainly is by
nature, seated on it's lofty hills over
looking the Tagus and interspersed
everywhere with semitropic gardens
and largos, but its newer houses are
too rectangular. too lacking in mag
nation to make anything but rather
monotonous streets. Even the Praca
do Commerce., though laid out upon
a truly magnificent scale, fails to
arouse enthusiasm.
This is the city's aspect to the
casual visitor who devotes but a day
or two to it's sights. But to one who
is willing to give it week or more
it holds many attractions.
The seeker for the picturesque will
delight in the water front in the morn
ing hours and in the fisher folk-the
men in black bag-caps and knee
breeches; the women, barefoot, set
ting out with basket on head to trot
the city streets. These fshwives are
the most picturesque of the Lisbon
types and most of them are really
beautiful, the fine ovals of their faces,
their smooth compilations and lus-
trous almond-shaped eyes recalling
the Mauresques and clearly bespeak-
ing their oriental origin.

The Badge of the Submarine.

AS a crown is the badge of kings and
three balls are the badge of pawn
brokers, so the badge of a submarine
officer is a handful of cotton waste.
When the half dozen officers of a
modern submarine, clad in their black
leather waterproof suits, come aboard,
a sailor stands on the tiny gangway to
receive them, and to each he hands his
waste rolled in a neat ball. The rea-
son is that the steel doors and steel
walls of a submarine sweat oil eter-
nally. The steel seats sweat oil. The
submarine oliver, before opening a
door or before sitting down, wipes the
oil from the knob or from the seat with
an unconscious gesture like that of pull
ing up the trousers to keep them from
bagging.

We are singularly lacking in sweet
singing night birds in America; and,
in fact, in all Europe the nightingale is
the single inimitable nocturnal war
bier; and in these days one may travel
hundreds of miles in any of the night
ingale countries of Europe and fail to
hear a single note from that elusive
wonder. We have our great horned
owls, whose boot has in it something
that may be called majestic and which
may be heard at distance of a mile;
the barn owl, which makes moan like
one in utter misery; the whip-poor-
will, one of the night-jar family, which
so insistently iterates its sad ami
mostly towards some mysterious will

which twitter so family at night that
one wonders if they are not day birds

Lines to Be Remembered.

To live content with small means;
to seek elegance rather than luxury,
and refinement rather than fashion:
to be worthy. not respectable, and
wealthy, not rich; to study and think
quietly, talk gently act frankly; to
listen to stars and birds, to babies
and songs, with open heart; to bear
all cheerfully, do all bravely, await
occasions. hurry never; in a word, to
let the spiritual, unbidden and uncon-
scious. grow up through the common.
This is to be my symphony.

from the rest of the lobster. Judging
from the size of the claw, the lobster
itself must have been several feet
long and a monster The meat in
the claw was of good color and fit
to eat and enough for a dinner for
several people. The claw alone
weighed three pounds, and he esti-
mated the weight of the lobster at
thirty pounds.-Kennebec Journal

syncrasies Of Nature That
They Reveal.

After the accidental death Of a
spinster who had lived in Twicken-
ham for many years all alone, and in
circumstances which suggested pow
erty, property valued at many thou
sands of dollars was found in her cot
tage. which was sadly in need of re-
pair, London Answers states.
Money was discovered all over the
house; deeds of property and stocks
and shares were found stuffed under
meath a mattress. 1t was also found
that the old lady had in two banks
over $4,000, nearly $1,000 in the post
Office savings bank, and that she had
insured her life in four offices for
sums totaling $4,000
Nor was this all: The whole of the
interior of the cottage was deliberately
furnished. It's walls were hung with
valuable oil paintings by well-known
artists, and lying about everywhere
were rings and other personal adorn-
ments, set with diamonds, opals, ru-
bies and other precious stones.
The old lady was eighty when she
met her accidental death, and, as she
left no will, and, it would appear, no
relatives, all these good and chattels
revert to the crown.
But this Twickenham treasure house
sinks into insignificance beside anoth-
er discovered within a walk of it at
Chiswick. This house is one of the
biggest in that riverside suburb, and
apparently one of the most deserted,
its windows uncurtained, its large
grounds a wilderness Nobody seemed

But this was only the beginning of
wonders. Every room was packed
with costly treasures. Gold and silver
vessels were heaped into cupboards;
jewelry and precious stones packed
loose in chests and drawers.
There were dozens of cases of cut
