Nolan Was Released.

Thos. Nolan, charged with
robbing the Savings Bank of
Fort Mill in September of 1902,
and who has been confined in
York Jail since last January,
was released from custody We'd
nesday. Parties returning from
Yorkville Wednesday evening
stated that Solicitor Henry and
Inspector Gregory, after in
vestigating the charges against
Nolan, concluded that the evil
dence in hand was insufficient to
secure a conviction and decided
TO release the prisoner rather
than put the court to the expense
of a trial.
1t was also stated that a war
rant was in the hands of the
officers charging Nolan with a
crime at Enoree, but that the
authorities did not care to push
the case owing to the trivial
nature of the alleged otfense.

CHICKENS COME HOME TO
ROOST.

Chickens came home to roost"
when an element in the Senate be-
came antagonistic to Governor H. d.
Hatfield and became known as anti
administration senators. Such con
dition seems almost like the irony of
fate when it is recalled that the man
who is now Governor was the leader
of that element in the State Senate
in 1871 which was decidedly unfriend-
~ to the Governor William E. Glass
cock, then the States chief Execu-
tive.
Even before the beginning Of the
session of 1911 the fifteen Republi-
can Senators became divided, one ele-
ment resolving itself into the admin
istration element and the other into
an active, rebellious anti-administra-
ton element, opposed to practically
everything the Governor advocated.
Of the fifteen Republican Senators
eight were friendly to Governor
Glasscock and his policies and seven
entertained opinions widely at vari-
ance with Governors. Senator E. T.
England now President of the Senate
became the caucus nominee but was
never elected because neither the sew
en- anti administration Senator's, led
by Senator Henry D. Hatfield wanted
him nor the Democrats Becoming
fearful that some Of the ants would
attend the sessions, constitute quo
rum and vote with the Democrats to-
ward effecting an organization, all
fifteen of the Republican Senators
were shipped to Cincinnati When
they returned the Democratic Sena-
tors let it become known that they
would agree to the election of a Re
publican as President of the Senate
if they were allowed to name the Re-
publican. That agreement was consul
minated and DR.. Henry D. Hatfield
now Governor, then leader of the
anti administration forces was elect
ed president of the Senate. On every
question of Importance he was oppos-
ed to the man then Governor. He was
just as belligerent, if not more so,
than those Republican Senators who
have been opposing him, so far as
Governor Glasscock was concerned.
Now the shoe is on the other foot
and Governor Hatfield finds himself
confronted with a situation exactly
similar to that which Governor Glass

BURIED TREASURE ON
YOUR FARM

Your dreams of digging up a box
of hidden gold can now be realized
There is gold mine on your farm
1t is sure producer. There is more
profit in mining farms than in min
ing mountains.
The gold mine on your farm lies
beneath the stumps. There is the
pay dirt that will yield steady re-
turn every year for generations to
come.
The ground occupied by one
average stump will produce 25G. to
soc worth of food per year. An
acre of stump land will produce $50
to $500 revenue every year, whereas
the cost of clearing must be paid but
once.
Cleared land is virgin soil, requir-
ing little or no fertilizing for several
years, to yield bumper crops. Don't
start for the end of the rainbow for
your fortune. 1t lies beneath your
feet.
President Wilson said few days
ago, ''There is a shortage of food in
the world now That shortage will
be more serious a few months from
now than it is now"
TT is necessary that we should
plant great deal more. 1t is neces-
sary that our land should yield more
per acre than it does now"
at is necessary that there should
not be pillow or spade idle in this
country if the world is to be fed"
No need to wait until warm
weather to get nd Of stump boarders.
Millions of farmers are now hear
ing arms, Thousands Of them will
never return to the pillow. Millions
of acres of Europe's food producing
land will lay fallow in 1915 and prob
wether the war stops or not.
America has the land, the men, the
means to produce food for all the
non-producing countries, provided
we force every acre of cultivated
land to maximum food production,
and put under cultivation the mil
lions of acres of cut-over and swamp
land that now occupy parts of our
country just as truly as a hostile
force
Consider the billions OF stumps
now encumbering rich land and
think what this means in the aggre-
gate.
me mllllOnS OF acres OF reclaim
able swamp land, once drained will
produce heavily. 1t is not only our
duty to put every square foot of soil
to work-it is elf-preservation.
Already the European demand for
food has raised wheat to double it's
normal price, and increased the price
TO bread in America.
Grow wheat. corn, oats or any
other good food crop that stores and
ships well.
There will be more real reasons
for high priced grain next fall than
now. Probably in one year profits
on cleared land will pay for clearing
it, and leave it steady producer
every year thereafter.
