SOUGHT TO CoNJUIsIs POINTER.
Result Was That Negro Found His
Way Into Manning Magistrates
Court.

Manning, Feb. S.-An interesting
case. decidedly outside the ordinary,
was up for a hearing before Magis-
trate j. w. Heriot last Saturday. A
white man who lives in the Deep
Creek section near Bloomville had a
negro arrested on a technical charge
of malicious mischief, to wit, cutting
off the tail of valuable pointer dog.
When the case came up for trial the
negro pleaded guilty and was sem
fenced to pay a fine of SO, which end
ed the case. It seems from outside
reports, which did not come to the
knowledge of the court, that the ne
gro knew the qualities of the dog in
question and greatly coveted his pos
session. All efforts to persuade the
dog to take up his abode at his house
proved Of no avail so. the negro de-
cided to resort to a "conjure" trick
that promised sure success and that
was to cut off a portion of the dogs
tail and bury it near his house. Those
who have studied and understand
conjuring tricks say. that this is one
that proves irresistible to a dog, and
they further say that if any do not
believe 1t, it is simply because they
never tried it.

SOUTH MAY SAVE BILLION.
Harvester Company Official Says
Goods Could be Raised at Home
f. Cheaper.

Tampa. Fla, Feb. THE South
sends away one billion dollars every
year for foodstuffs that could be pro-
duced at one.third this cost, A. E.
Chamberlain, field agent for the In
ternational Harvester Company, told
the Florida Cattlemen's Association
here today. OF this enormous sum
a great deal of it is for beef and BIZ
products of beef, the speaker said.
With a series of charts and illustra-
Etions he pointed out how the cattle in
kIdustry in the South could be so organ
Jed that there would be many times
th'e product needed for home con-
sumption.
:. Commissioner of Agriculture w. A.
AfcRea said that Florida can support
ten million. head of cattle and with
proper care to keep them free from
ticks the quality will be as high as
that raised in the West. yh

FoUR RULES FOR RIGHT READ.

A hint 70 readers that will. per-
haps, prove far more helpful than five
foot bookshelves and pigsl<in libraries,
is contributed by Laura Spencer Por-
ter to the February Womans Home
Companion.
Let us take Gibbons practice"
she says, ''as a valuable first rule,
measuring our own ideas. our expe-
rience, our knowledge, or, it may be,
our ignorance Of the subject of any
given great book.
And as a second rule, let us find
out from some good reference book
or biography the main facts about
the life Of the author we are reading
and something about the times in
which he lived.
."As third rule, let us make notes
on all that we read seriously, notes,
mean, as we go, for it is but poor
fattery to let friend do ali the talk
ing and to make no comment on what
he says. This practice Of making
notes is, I do believe, very essential
to right use of books. ! know there
are those who think it bad thing to
mark book; but to have too nice an
eye in this matter is to value paper
more than friendship. Let us mark
especially the places that give us
fresh thought, stimulus, pleasure e; let
us mark those with which we agree
and those with which we disagree,
stating our own views clearly.
"As a fourth rule: Just as soon as
we feel that we know even two or
three great books let us compare them
with each other. Very much as fine
people agree on fundamentals so we
shall find these great authors agreeing,
as rule, in essentials, yet all express
ing themselves how differently. More
over, it is just in these differences of
expression that the main distinctions
of style lie, and it is in noting them
carefully that we shall better appre-
ciate the personality of writer.
Read Stevensons DISCOURSE for in
stance, on Grabbed Age and Youth
and compare it with Bacon's essay,
OF Youth and Age How in the very
wording and manner of speaking the
two men seem almost to appear be-
fore one."

We have not the greatest army. nor
the greatest navy, but we have the
greatest Department of Agriculture in
the world. AS Home Demonstration
Agent for Sumter County, I work in
cooperation with the Department OF
Agriculture and Winthrop College. DR..
Seaman A. Knapp. our patron
saint Of agriculture and founder Of
demonstration work, had a vision of
our country as a thing Of marvellous
utility and beauty. "You can cover
the hillsides with alfalfa, dot them
with purebred stock: you can beauti-
fy the buildings; plant shrubbery and
fruit trees. and you can put intslli-
gent men and women and children on
them and make them happy"
II can be said Of the Sumter Cham
ber of Commerce that its members
are interested not only in the material
development Of our county, but also
in the mental and moral Develop
ment Of its citizens. It wants the
homes OF our county not merely a
place where the farmer and his wife.
and children can turn out crops to sell
for cash. but real home, q thing Of
beauty that will attract the boys and
girls so that they will stay on the
farm. a cencer from which Will raGliate
civic influence that will elevate the
life in the community to higher
plane.
My work began with the girls
canning clubs: n addition, tostheae
we shall hstve ting year six womien's
Home Demonstration clubs, five poul-
Try, and domestic science classes IA
