in Des Moines,


in Des Moines.
Des Moines, July 25.-George l..
Holt, farmer living near Altoona,
yesterday was run down and killed
by Walker street car. The force of
the impact hurled Holt a distance of
thirty feet from the seat of the two
horse wagon he was driving. His
head struck the rail, fracturing his
skull.
The injured man was hurried to
Mercy hospital in the police ambu-
lance and died on the operating table
a half hour later.
Holt was returning to his farm
with load of feed. He was driving
east on Walker street between Six
teenth and Seventeenth. The street
car was going in the same direction.
The motorman sounded his gong, ac-
cording to witnesses. It is thought
the man did not hear as he attempted
to cross the tracks directly in front of
the approaching car. There was a
terrific crash and Holt was seen to
leave the seat of the wagon.

Every Community Should Have
Debating Society

There should be a debating
society at every school house,
and in this connection the fol-
lowing thoughts from the Pro.
gressive Farmer are worthy of
consideration:
We have often noted the good
effects of such societies in differ
ent communities, and the trans
formation that takes place in a
boy-or even in an older man
is often wonderful. Instead of a
beginner with unsteady knees
and stammering tongue, you
soon have speaker whose eyes
flash with the spirit of contest
and whose voice has acquired
the ring of earneStness and con-
viCtion
Remember that speakers are
not born, but made, and that it
lies within the power of every
Southern farm boy, whether his
father is renter or landowner, to
become a speaker. And as we
have often pointed out, farmers
suffer in legislation and often
fail TO get their public rights in
many other respects, simply be.
cause they lack trained spokes-
men. This is another reason
therefore for having a debating
society in every farm neighbor-
hood.
The man who can think well
and logically ON his feet will be.
come a leader of men. He will
not become Il lradrr merely be-
cause he is eloquent or fluent,
or a master of pretty phrases,
but he will become q leader be-
cause in becoming proficient
speaker he has become a profic-
lent thinker. Debating teaches
him to go to the bottom of every
question, and this habit of thor
oughneSs helps him in all future
life and work.

Cheraw Hand Loses Life in
Cottonseed

Cheraw, Nov. 24.-About 4
O'Clock yesterday morning,
Enoch Adams, one of the hands
on The night shift at the Cheraw
Oil mill, was smothered to death
by cotton seed falling on him.
There were no witnesses to the
accident, but the most pla uSible
theory is that while pushing
seed from the funnel to the
trough he went to sleep. When
found. his feet and hands were
sticking out, and his head and
body were covered with seed
that had fallen on him while in
this condition.

Birds Fight Boil Weevils

David R. Coker writing to the
Columbia State has the follow
ing to say in regard to the value
of birds to the farmer:
The South Carolina Audubon
society has recectly published a
survey of bird life, which is
most Interesting, and possesses
much value in view Of the ap.
preach of the boil weevil Ev-
cry citizen in the State should
try TO get hold of a copy of this
pamphlet, read it carefully and
follow its suggestions. The
farmer has no more valuable ally
IN the campaign against the boil
weevil than the bird. The bob
white, meadow lark and the kill
deer plover are three OF the most
valuable boil weevii destroyers,
and should be especially pro-
tected. | believe the legislature
should place an embargo on the
killing of these birds Gf not upon
all bird shooting) for the next
five years so that they will have
an opportunity to increase to
such an extent as to materially
help in checking the weevil.
A few months ago | went
over large farm in North Car
olina upon which shooting has
been absolutely prohibited for
several years. 1t seemed to be
stocked with thousands of bob
whites, as we were flushing
them along the road every few
hundred yards. Some were SO
tame that they scarcely got oul
OF the way of The automobile.
If every farm in South Carolina
were as well stocked | do not be
lleve the boil weeVil would do
81 per cent. of the damage
which 1t has caused in the terri
tory further West.

Sprinklers to Be Put on Fords

Sprinklers to Be Put on Fords
Monroe Journal.
Everytime the Legislature
meets Doctor John Blair has
some pet bill that he brings for
ward TO be passed by the Solons.
This time he is going to get
Hon. Jim Price to introduce a
bill requiring all Ford automo-
bile owners to attach a sprinkler
on the rear of their cars. The
attachment would work auto
matically with the gasoline tank,
so when the sprinkler empties,
the gas tank would also need a
refilling. Neither would the ma
chine work if the water tank
were empty, even though the
gasoline tank was full. About
twenty gallons of water would
fall on the dust TO every gallon
of gas consumed by the ma
chine. Doc. promises to make
the appliance if MIR. Price will
have the bill passed. The Doc.
also considers this his pet scheme,
as it would remedy a great nui-
SanCe.

What Is An Editor?

"A little boy was asked by his
father to write an essay on Edi.
tors, and here is the result:
Don't know how newspapers
came to be in the world. |
don't think God does for he amt
got anything to say about them
and editors in the Bible. | think
the editor is one of the missing
links you read about, and stayed
in the bushes until after the
flood and then he came out and
wrote the thing up and has been
here ever since. l don't think
he ever died.
i never saw a dead one and
never heard OF one getting lick
ed. Our paper is a mighty good
one, but the editor goes without
underclothes all winter and
don't wear no socks and pa amt
paid his subscription since the
paper was started. l asst pa if
that was why the editor had TO
suck the juice out of snowballs
in winter and go to bed when he
had his shirt washed in summer.
And thenspa took me out to the
woodshed and licked me awful.
If a editor makes a mistake
folks say he ought to be hung;
but If q doctor makes mistake
he buries it and the people das-
SAINT say nothing, because the
doctor can read and write Latin.
when the editor makes a
mistake there is a lawsuit and
swearing big fuss; but If a doc
tor makes one there is funeral,
cut flowers and perfect silence.
A doctor can use a word a yard
long without knowing what it
means, but If the editor uses one
he has got to spell it. If the
doctor goes to see another mans
'ste he charges for the visit, bu.
il the editor goes he gets a
charge of buckshot. When the
doctor gets drunk 1t is a case 81
being overdone by the heat, and
if he dies it is from heart trouble.
When the editor gets drunk it is
a case of too much booze and
if he dies it is the jimjams.
Any old college can make a
doctor, but an editor has to be
born"

their nerve" is aot supposed to
be so good as the seasoned ones.
They had on hand forty bales of
cotton for which they paid a
good price, Mr.. Graves being
the buyer and Mr.. Agerton the
silent partner, that is. until there
was an extra session of the New
York cotton exchange. e.
Say you never heard of an ex.
ira session of the cotton ex-
changss No. We never did.
Neither had these buyers for
there is mo sich animal" But
A. F. Funderburk conceived a
huge joke on the boys and let
j. D. Redfearn on. They an
nounced that cott,D had Drop
ped just ten dollars bale at an
extra session OF the exchange
after 3 o'clock, the closing hour.
That meant four hundred dol
lars for the forty bales, and it is
easy to guess what effect this
had on the buyers referred to
above. 1t is said that Mr.. Graves
had used strychnlne tablets to
strengthen his heart and prevent
any fainting on former occa-
sions wheL the market looked
scary, but this time strychnine
was of no avail. His sorrow
was added to by the fact that he
had talked to Threat Bros, at
Jefferson before they heard of
the drop and could have sold
to them at good price.
1t is said that Mr.. S. f. Ing
ram became little shaky also
from the news of the fall.
Mr.. Graves says he would not
have cared much for the Joke if
they had told him before he
went home that it was all in fun,
but they let him go home and
report to his wife that they had
lost four hundred dollars bv
holding d few hours too long.
He says he caught hail CoIum
5ia for being crazy enough to
try to buy cotton. Then when
they finally let him know the
truth, there was the deuce 10
pay because he was fool enough
to believe those rascals any of
the time.
All this put Mr.. Graves in a
a fighting notion and he came
down to frail the perpetrator of
this outrage to a frazzle. The
cool morning air and a spin in
his Ford helped to drive the fe
yer off; and thus there were no
fatalities
Now, you know why we were
afraid to tell ii until several DAYS
had passed, and as our fighting
editor has refused to serve any
longer, we ere BIZ shaly at the
knees as this goes into print.

Did you ever know two broth
ers in law to make a trip togeth
er, each hunting a lawyer to
help him win a case against the
other? Well, that thing happen
ed last Friday. Messrs. @. B.
Brewer and Whiteford Ander-
son had had a little misunder-
Standing about the seed from a
rent bale of cotton, and the case
had been set for Monday. One
of the men engaged Mr.. L. P.
Graves to carry him to Chester
field Friday, but did not tell why
he was going. Then the other
one learned that Mr.. Graves
was going to Chesterfield and
so he arranged to go also. When
the car was ready up walked the
two men from opposite direc-
tions and mounted the Ford,
each to the astonishment of the
other.
Two deaf and blind mutes
would have talked about as
much as they did for a while,
but their eyes could rot have
shown so much wonderment.
Finally Mr.. Graves began ques.
tioning them as to their respec
tive missions at the county seat
AT first he couldn't get them to
talk but just before they reached
Chesterfield Mr.. Brewer began
to see the humor of the situation
and he said, I'VE must be goine
to get us a lawyer.
When they alighted, one said
"Well, we must be willing to dc
the right thing as we came to
gether. So you may have
choice of the lawyers" =
lhe other said, Ill take L.
The first agreedAand said he
would try to find another. Blu
eat this point Mr.. Graves said
You two ounces, get in this Cal
or I'll leave you. You are go
ing to leave 1t to a jury any way
and you don't need any lawyers
If you've got any money tc
throw away I'll add that to my
bill for bringing you down here
Get in or you stay" So saying
he pulled on the gas, and the
boys boarded her without hav
ing so much as seen a lawyer.
The case was settled withou
trial Monday.
