 fin damp or became damp, will not ger minate strong, with the result thal there will be many weak plants oi missing hills in the field. There is al ways rush of work in the spring at planting time. Seed should be select ed before this rush begins.
 A man who is not pushed for time will do better work, so that seed that is selected early will be of better quality than that selected when the farmer feels that he ought to have his teams In the field. Select fifty ears for each acre that is to be planted. Some of it is likely to be spoiled or become damaged At a second selection at planting time, some of the ears will be thrown out because they do not look as good as they did at first.
 Plans may be changed so that few more acres may be planted than was at first intended. After all if there is a small surplus it may be sold to some neighbor who has neglected his seed, and who will be willing to pay a good price for it, or it may be fed and nothing lost. If you must buy seed get it early. The seed houses usually sell their best seed first and if there is a demand may sell very inferior seed at the end of the season. The failure of so many of our farmers to get superior quality of seed early Tn the season is one big factor in caus ing the average yield of corn to be only twenty bushels per acre in Ar kansas.

TICKS FROM TALL TIMERS
How to Get in Tick Free District
 This Year.

If you want your county to be in the tick eradication district and rid your county of the Texas fever tick and save thousands of dollars of loss an- nually, then hustle out with petitions to local representative of the Arkan- sas Legislature which convenes next week, urging that your county be placed in the tick eradication district
 There are now two eradication dis tricts in Arkansas, the Northeast Tick Eradication District, under the contro, of a commission, and the Northwest District, in charge or a board of con. trol, and under the direction of the head of the Veterinary Science Depart ment of the State College of Agricul- ture at Fayetteville.
 The work has been carried on in these districts by counties who levy an annual tax of five cents on all cat tie of dairy and beef class In those counties.
 In any part of the state outside tho tick eradication districts it would be practical for several counties in a group to join forces and form a local district These counties could come in under the present laws and regula- tions provided they are placed legally and the tax of five cents is levied on all neat cattle within your borders.

Thanksgiving Day and the Orphan.

President Wilson, has appointed No
vember % as the national ThanksglV-
ing Day. 1t has been our annual Gus
tom on that day, or the Sabbath fol-
lowing to remember the orphans. We
hope that every reader of these lines
will gladly do so. You have wonder
full amount to be grateful for. Put
your gratitude to the proof Send to
the orphanage of your church, your
thank offering. Presbyterian people
in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina
will remember that they are united in
supporting the Thornwell orphanage,
Clinton, S. c., which is the property OF
those three synods. The children are
all orphans, some three hundred IN
aumber. There are II cottage homes,
each occupied by some Is to z5 chill
dren, with a good motherly woman IL
charge. The children are regularly in
school for forty weeks each year, and
are taught some trade or occupation,
by which they can earn an honest Iy-
ing. Usually they leave the home at
the age o 16 to 18, unless an earlier
discharge is found advisable. Their
support depends upon gifts of good
men and women. Especially at Thanks
giving times, they ought to be remem-
oered. There are 1SO children from
South Carolina, 70 from Georgia, and
% from Florida. The rest came from
seven other states.
Contributions should be sent simply
to Thornwell Orphanage, Clinton, S. c.

SHERIFF OFFERS S166

I.anca ter. Nov. 11.-Reports reach
.ng here from a hospital in Rock Hill
concerning the serious condition Of E.
VI. Watkins. superin, ,endent of the Lam
caster cotton oil mill, who was shot
here late Saturday afternoon by a
negro named John Mcllwain, are not
all encouraging. During his snort
residence of only about month or so
in Lancaster Mr.. watkins had won the
admiration and friendship OF the Ian
.aster people and was exceedingly
2opular Will all whom he knew. 1t is
said that the. feeling in town against
lis assailant, McIlwain, is very intense
and considerable apprehension has
been entertained, in case of Mc1lwain's 5
capture, that Lancaster would see d
.ynching spectacle, but the sheriff OF
this county, John P Hunter, has the
situation we'll in hand and says that ne
expects to get the negro and that he
ha: no fears of lyncaing saying that
he does not believe his friends in. Lam
caster would attempt to forcibly take
from him prisoner in his custody
and that il am should try to do so he
would protect him with his own life.
Sheriff Hunter has personally offered
a reward of $100 for McIlwain's arrest
and commitment in any prison in the
United States. The negro is q years
of age, of a dark gingercake color,
weighs 140 popnds, clean shaven, has
sharp features and is slightly hump
backed.

MEETS INSTANT DEATH
IN JUMPING FROM BUGGY
Samuel Stockman Fatally Injured
Near Scene Where He Killed
Son-in-laW.

Lexington, Nov. 13.-Samuel W.
Stockman was killed this afternoon
when he jumped from buggy in whisS
he was riding with J. D. Monts, j
,oung white man, while the horse,
which young Monts was driving at the
time, was going at a pretty rapid gait.
the animal having become frightened
when hold-back strap on the breech-
ing broke, causing the buggy to run
upon the horse. The force of the fall
caused a fracture Of the skull at the
base and death was instantaneous
The horse ran for two hundred yards
down the road before the young man
could bring it to stop. Young lNonts
stated at the inquest that Stockman
requested him to make the horse walk
and when he did so the harness broke,
in the meantime J. E. B. McCartha Of
.Leesville, came along in an automobile.
He was the first to reach the man and
ne was dead
Sheriff Miller and DR.. G. Frank Rob :
erts went to the scene for the post
mortem. The jury of inquest returned
a verdict that the deceased came to
his death by jumping from buggy,
the result of an accident.
A strange coincidence in connection
with the fatal accident is the fact that
Stockman met his death within 400
yards of his old home and the same
distance from the very spot where he
shot and killed his son-in-law, j.
Hampton Hartley, some eight or ten
years ago. After two trials Stockman
was convicted of manslaughter and
sentenced to serve period of seven
years at hard labor. He was given his
liberty some three years ago under a
parole of Governor Blease, and later a
full pardon by the same governor
Since his release, Stockman had been
living in Brookland. He came up to
his old nome yesterday to close up
some affairs, he having recently sold
the plantation. Today he conducted a
sale Of personal property and those
associated with him say that he was
in the jolliest and nappiest mood they
had ever seen him. He was not under
the influence of whiskey, it was stated.
and was on his way with the young
man, who resided on his place, to
board train at Batesburg for his
home. His son, however, was going
to remain over for day or two.
Stockman was about 62 years of age
and leaves wife and eight living
children, six. sons and two daughters.
He is also survived by one brother,
Burr Stockman, of near Prosperity
one of the most progressive farmers of
Newberry county, and several sisters.
The deceased was a member of Cedar
Grose Lutheran church.

MANNING MAY ASK
ARBITRATION LAW
Chief Executive Warns "BOth Sides"
Against ViOlence-Is Hopeful
of Settlement.

The State.
Governor Manning may ask the next
general assembly to pass "a compul-
story arbitration law in the form OF a
board of conciliation." He is not def
ni+ely committed to the plan, but is
giving it careful consideration. That
such a board is favored by the gov
ernor was made known in statement
issued last night, dealing with the tex
tile strikes in the Piedmont section OF
the state The governor in his state
ment declared the people "have the
right to organize if they wish to do
so."
The statement in full follows:
From the beginning of the strike
at Brogon mills I have ben making
an effort to get the two sides to an
amicable settlement l have been es-
pecially active along these lines dur
ing the last week, but apparently the
situation is no nearer a settlement
than before. Nevertheless l am no:
discouraged, but am still trying to find
a common ground on which they can
meet.
"At the Judson mill in Greenville
nrnsnects for a settlement are more
favorable.
'Tn both mills the managemei ajj7
'In both mills the managing officers
have conceded the right of, the en-
ployes to organize.
"Thus one. of the Fundamental
sources of disagreement has been re-
moved.
There is one thing which both sides
should understand clearly. No vio-
lence will ge tolerated.
"The sheriffs. of Anderson and
Greenville counties will be held stern
ly to their duty to maintain order.
do not anticipate that they will force
me to take the preservation of order
out of their hands, but if l am con-
vinced tnat either of the sheriffs is moi
fulfilling his duty, l am prepared tc
act.
There is right and wrong On botf
sides, and the bitterness is increasing
AS good citizens of South Carolina,
feel that both sides should agree upor
some plan that will terminate the
trouble.
"Arbitration in sucn disagreements
has been universally recognized as
safe basis. The public is everywhert
much inclined to believe that the peo
pie who avoid arbitration put them
selves in the wrong.
'fThe communities in which these
mills are situated and the State O.
South Carolina are deeply interested
in just settlement being reached
Private differences of this sort will no
long be tolerated by the people OF tht
state. Some means must be devise
to bring all parties to an amicablt
frame of mind.
"At present am gravely consider
ing recommending to the legislature
compulsory arbitration law in the form
of a board of Cancellation. I am no
committed to this proposition, but an
studying its workings in other places
"AIl citizens will recognize that ou.
people have the right to organize i
they wish to do so. 1t will also b.
generally recognized that the lives and
property of our people must be pro,
tected.
"I will stand to both propositions.
