Magnitude That Almost Appals.

The magnitude of D. w. Griffth's
feat in staging "The Birth Of Ma
rion" is almost appaiiing-at least
to the devotees OF the older theatre.
Where now are the little groups OF
actors, the pinchbeck scenery and
the petty properties of the so-called
Legitimate" drama? By comparison
with the new art, the Legitimate is
infnitesimal. For Griffith, in staging
The Birth of a Nation" used Nature
fer his background, $50 years OF
American history as his subject, 49,
600 people as his actors, and no less
than 1900 mounts Of cavalry in the
celebrated rides Of the ku Klux
Klan. After it was all completed, he
rad an operate score prepared and
provided orchestral music worthy OF
Wagner. The motion picture spec
tacle IN which these marvellous things
are done will be shown here for tn
first time at the opera House next
Monday and Tuesday.

ducing abundant and profitable crops.
This is written in the hope tnat it
may make just one man, or woman,
or girl, or boy think about the sub
ject of nut growing and plant at
least one pecan tree. If it were pos
sible to get every boy and girl Eve
have little hope of the parents as
they have been here long enough to
have done this already each year
for the next five years plant just one
pecan tree where it would not be
crowded and dwarfed, and where it
could reach full maturity, ten or fif-
teen years from now at the most, the
combined production of those trees
would add thousands OF dollars an
nually to the wealth of this State
We would like to make a present

girl who writes that he will do this.

Plain soap is like a lazy mule. It
mas the power but it takes a lot of
work to get it into action!
Borax is a sort of driver for soap.
Borax takes soap by the scruff of the
neck and says "Come on here and get
busy"
You will never know the value OF
soap until you see it working in con-
nection with borax.
But soap is pretty stubborn and It
only works right when there is one
part borax and three-parts soap. It
is impossible to get this quantity OF
borax into bar soap. 1t is only posi-
bic in borax soap chips.
When you use "2O Mule Team BoraS

wash and various other cleaning about
the house, you may be a little vexed to
thirk of ever having tried to get alon g

South Carolina Pecans.
Spartanburg Herald.

SpartdQDurS Herald.
Last night a New Years gift In the
form of box of paper shell pecans,
grown in a neighboring county, found
| its way to this desk. 1t was a pres
ent with punch" to it, for every
nut is full of rich and wholesome
meat. And thereby hangs a tale.
These pecans would bring min
imum price of 40 cents a pound in
any South Carolina market. They
are not the ordinary wild pecan, but
the large, thin shelled variety. They
are proof of the statement that this
State can produce as good nuts as
Georgia, Mississippi or Louisiana.
Query: Why does South Carolina
have to go outside its borders to
buy nuts, often of an inferior grade?
Answer the question If you can.
About forty years ago a New Or
leans broker, Col. w. R. Stuart, who
had a country home and farm at
Ocean Springs, Miss, after much ex-
pertinent, discovered that in order to
grow uniform pecans Of high quail
ity, budded Or grated stock must be
used. AS a token of it's appreciation
of his work the Agricultural Depart
ment of the United States gave his
name to one of the two first paper
she'll nuts he developed, and he may
truly be said to be the father of the
pecan growing industry. Since his
death. many other fine varities have
been produced, so that today the
planter has a dozen or more excel
lent varities from which to choose.
SCIENTISTS tell us that the food
value of nut meats, pound for pound,
is greater than that of the best beef
or mutton. And yet there are
thousands of farms in this State on
which a pecan tree is a stranger,
and from which even the black wal
nut and the hickory trees have been
cut. AS Henry Watterson recently
said, many a fine nut bearing tree
has been cut down to secure meas
ly little rat tailed 'possum. A fine
illustration of American Vandalism!
But thanks to Col. Stuart, we can
quickly repair the damage done. Ped
can trees properly budded and

CAPT. LANFORD KILLS
SON FOR BURGLAR
ysear Lanford Dies Following Fat, :
er's Terrible Mistake.

Laurens, Jan. 2.-Mistaking each
other for a burglar for whom they
had been warned to be on the look
out, Capt. John Lanford and his son,
Mr.. Oscar Lanford, both prominent
citizens of Laurens county, fired on
cath other at their store at Lanford
Station early last night with the re-
suit that the son, shot through the
back with Winchester, died an hour
later and the father was painfully
wounded in the leg.
The distressing accident occurred
short time after the two had re-
ceived message from Ora, a short
distance from anford Station, warn
ing Capt. Lanford that lurglar
who had entered two or three houses
at Ora, had escaped and was on his
way to Lanford. Capt. Lanford, his
son. and Mr.. James Fleming, a SON
in-law, armed themselves and went
to the LanfOrd store, only a shOr-
distance from the railroad. They hal
not waited very long before the sup
posed burglar was seen going behind
the store. Mr. Flemmine approached
him first and fred at him one tim ;.
Then Capt. Lanford and his son went
around the store hurriedly in opp0-
site directions and when they reach
ed the end OF the store Capt Lanforl
mistook his son for the burglar and
fired on him. The son, thinking
that he had been shot by the burglar,
fired as he was falling, the bullet
entering his fathers leg and infict-
ing severe flesh wound. Mr.. Oscar
I4anford was given every attention
Suspect Arrested.
The suspected burglar was arrest
ed this morning and brought to Lau-
rens. He is a white man. about 45
years of age, and is a stranger in this
section. He denies any knowledge
whatever of the reported burglary ar
Ora and the accidental killing at
Lanford Station. The finding of a
fash-light, an automatic pistol and
it is said, nitroglycerine on his per-
son have led the officers to hold him
for further investigation.
Mr.. Oscar Lanford was about 30
years of age and married He was
one of the most prominent young
business men Of the upper part OF
Laurens county. His father has long
been an influential citizen and busi-
ness man.
Ora and Lanford Station are small
towns on the G. & W. C. Railway be-
tween Laurens and the SpartanbuTg
county line. On account of lack OF
telegraphic communication the facts
in the tragedy of last night did not
become known until today.

Velvet Rcan and ProsneritE.

The Souta Carolina Bureau OF mar
keting has received from one o. the
largest manufacturers Of mixed foods
IN the United States the following
communication:
Through your Office We would like
for you to get us in touch with
farmers Who plant Velvet bean. Ne
would like to contract for two or
three thousand tons in hull
For your information Will state
that We have Installed a machine for
grinding this product which is one
OF the few in this part OF the coun-
Try. We handled quite a number OF
cars which we have purchased from
the Alabama and Mississippi territory
and have also secured one car from
our State.'
Here is a tip to the farmers Of this
State and the entire south. Velvet
bean meal is an excellent substitute
for cotton seed meal-once the des-
pissed by-product of the cotton crop
but now remarkable article of COM
merce which is bringing streams OF
gold into the southern States from ev-
cry civilized land
From the farmers standpoint the
Velvet bean is more interesting than
the cotton seed. Cotton is a land
rCbber, inasmuch as it returns no
fertilizing elements to the soil and at
the same time destroys it's humus.
All members of the bean family, how
ever, are nitrogen collectors and the
Velvet bean is one of the best. Bcs,
perhaps the most remarkable charact-
eristic Of this plant is its wonderful
production of seed and vine. 1t will
flourish on comparatively poor soil,
can be planted along with the corn
crop, and the vines often show
growth of ten feet or more.
In those sections of the South
where the boil weevil has destroyed
or greatly decreased cotton culture
this plant has been found a most
profitable one to the farmers. They
are planting it with their corn and
after harvesting the corn crop, cat
tie and hogs are turned into the field
to fatten on the vines and pods and
beans.
The Velvet bean is a bacon and
beef producer Of remarkable value
and, as will be seen from the above
inquiry, a market already has been
created for the surplus beans which
may be raised.
It is up to the farmers of this
State, who are face to face with the
boil weevil, at once to find out the
real value of this crop. 1t should
be found on every South Carolina
farm. 1t will help fill the smoke
house, increase the bank account,
purchase automobiles and improved
machinery, build up the fertility of
our soils and beat the devil out of
the boil weevil.

CONTRACT SIGNED
WITH PADEREWSKl
Spartanburg Herald.

Spartanburg Herald.
DR.. John Alden made announce
ment yesterday afternoon to the eff,
feet that he had secured his guar
antee of $1,000, which is necessary
to bring Paderewski, the famous
pianist, to Spartanburg, and a con-
tract has been signed which calls for
the great musician to appear in the
Converse college auditorium On the
night of January %.
The peer of any pianist in the
world, as Paderewksi is described bJ
those who have heard him, will play
in only two cities in South Carolina,
Spartanburg and Columbia, and will
make only four stops in the entire
South. He will be en- route from
New York to Cuba, and is making
the four contracts more to break the
monotony of his trip than for any
other purpose.
Many music lovers Of the city,
when they learned Saturday that the
musician was willing to come to
Spartanburg if the guarantee could
be secured, feared that the necessary
amount might not be raised, but DR..
Alden says that he met with little
difficulty and had the necessary
funds pledged before IL o'clock Mon
day.
Colleges in towns near Spartan
burg where music is taught are plan
ming to send large delegations to this
city to hear the performance, and
since the railroads have agreed to
grant special rates, it is believed that
the Converse college auditorium will
be taxed to accommodate the audi
ence on the night of the attraction.
