A FINE GENERAL. STRENGTHENING TONIC
WAITED LONG FOR PROBATE
After Twenty years Son Produces Fa-
theirs Will-Testator's Instructions
Had Been Obeyed.

Undiscovered for nearly twenty
years after his death, the will Of Jo-
ham Michael Muller has been offered
for probate at Baltimore by his son,
John G. A. Muller. The testator died
March l3, 1896, having made his will
on May 81, 1889.
The paper, yellow and musty with
age, left all Mr.. Muller's property to
his wife Elizabeth Barbara Muller.
She died April 30, 1915, and her son
was appointed administrator Of her
estate. He had known Of the exist
ence Of the will for several months
prior to his mothers death, but since
all the property had been enjoyed by
Mrs. Muller as her husband had de-
sired, 1t was not thought necessary
to probate the will at that time.
The son says the property will now
be divided between his two brothers
and himself, since his mother died in
testate. The exact value Of the estate
has not been determined, but 1t is
made up almost entirely Of parcels Of
ro"S estate.

URGING FIRE PREVENTION
Charleston Chief Will Visit Thirty
Cities and Towns in South Caro-
Iina.-A Big Work.

Columbia. Through the courtesy
OF the board Of fremastcrs Of Char
lesion, Insurance Commissioner Nc
Master has been able to secure the
services Of Louis Behrens. chief Of
the Charleston fire department, to
represent the department and to visit
as many Of the fire departments Of
the state as lie is able to reach in
three weeks. Chief Behrens will in
struct the fire departments in the
very latest methods Of fire lighting
the use OF their fire apparatus. but
more particularly he will devote his
time to instructing the hremen and
the public generally in fire proven
ton, in the need of careful inspections
of buildings and premises, and in
other ways Of reducing the fire
waste.
The insurance commissioners ex.
presses himself as delighted at having
secured the services Of Chief Beh-
rens, who is one of the most enthu.
siastic iremcn in the state, and who
has given lifetime TO the service.
Among the insurance men Chief Beh-
rens ranks very high and he is re.
garded as one Of the most efficient fire
chiefs in the United States.
The plan Of having Chief Behrens
make these visits has been found
very successful in North Carolina and
in other states which have reduced
their fire waste. 1t Is not expected
that Capt. Behrens will be able to
visit more than 25 or 80 towns this
year. 1t is the purpose Of the insur-
ance commissioner to secure the ser.
vices of Capt. Behrens or some other
expert fireman each year so that the
work will be completed and that all
towns will be visited in the next two
or three years.
1t is expected that Chief Behrens
will commence this week to make hi:
visits to the various towns of thu
| state. He will give about three week
to this service.
This is a purely gratuitous and pa
triotic work on the part of Chief Bel
rens. He has refused to allow tn
state to compensate him at all for hi
work. He will act as deputy Of tn
insurance department. which will bea
his travelling expenses.

pie, Gathered Around the State
Capitol
Columbia.

| A. e. Hutchson of Rock Hill. read
ing clerk Of the house of representa-
tives, brought to Columbia a uniuue
story OF a banks cooperation with the
Farming interests of its community.
The National Union Bank of Rock
Hill has hit upon a novel scheme to
better the breeds of livestock in it's
neighborhood. Faith in the possibilities
OF dairying and stock raising was sup
ported by an investment in 10 register
ed Hereford bulls from the West.
These the bank has placed with farm
ers in different sections Of the coun-
ty. The only source Of revenue is 81
for service, which fund is to feed the
animals and provide caretakers. 1t is
figured that each calf from these
thoroughbred cattle will be worth So
more than offspring from scrubs. Should
200 calves be dropped the first year,
this alone will provide the nucleus for
large herd Of beef cattle, which will
be more than doubled the second
year.
The Hereford is largely beef type,
and ranks next to the Shorthorn in the
number raised throughout the United
States. Their popularity consist much
in their adaptability to adverse cir
cumstances. They are good rustlers
and thrive under conditions Of scant
pasturage where other breeds would
likely fail
In continuation of this policy of
encouragement and help to the farm
a.
Of equal significance. This was the Of
fer to pay for all blooded hogs the
farmers wanted to buy, the only secur-
ity asked being a mortgage on the
hogs to be paid off whenever convent
lent. In consequence many farms
have been stocked with the best
breeds of hogs available. Commenting
on the banks leadership in this direc
tion, Mr. Hutchison said.
Rock Hill is rapidly building up &
background Of agricultural develop
ment which we believe has no equal IL
the state. In addition to all this activity
in live stock and hogs. hundeds O
tons Of alfalfa are being moved il
the neighborhGod of Rock Hill, the al
falfa clubs now having more than 10t
members. This hay Is disposed O
largely in Rock Hill, the thrifty farm
er bringing 1t to town, and the
thriftless taking it home. AS an in
dication of the kind Of farming some
Of our men are doing, Oran S Poe is
preparing to put in so acres in alfalfa
Mr. Poe has just finished 1900 bushels
Of oats, $50 bushels of wheat and 45
