CHAPTER XIII.
A Surprising Slip.

Scott was called by Lefever to con
clude in secret the final arrangements.
The ground about the quaking asp
grove. and nearest FL Captain, afford

rected to bring what men he could be

night. What do you think you can
do?'
Scott had already made up a tenta-
tive list. He named four-tirst Far
reu Kennedy, who was in town. and
said nobody should go If he didn't;
Frank Elpaso, the Texan; the English
man. Tommy Meggeson; and Wick

of them, Lefever knew, could give an
account of himself under all circum-

While Scott was getting mis- men to-

one parting caution-not to leave the
aspens until rain began falling. When
he spoke there was not cloud in the
sky. "It's going to rain tonight, just

Hunting Made Easy.

An unusual haul was made by hun
ter near Waukon. Ia, last season. when
he shot 16 skunks, which were smoked
out of single den, Popular Mechanics
Magazine states. The practice Of
smoking out animals is being revived
in many parts of the country because
Of the increase in the price of furs. A
smoker now much used consists of
three detachable parts: A bellows, al
smoke chamber and n nozzle. The
chamber Is partly filed with rags, old
burlap or corncobs, to which is added
little sulphur or cayenne pepper.
This is set afire and the smoke blown
into the den after all exits and air
passages save the one being guarded
have been tightly closed. Ten or twen-
ty minutes blowing Will drive the
animals out, weak and dazed, so that
they can be killed or captured easily.
To avoid waste and rapid depletion of
the fur-bearing animals, hunters should
kill only well-furred creatures.

Lcsk X Out For Red Sid r

The red spider has made its
appearance in a number of fields
in this section, From Clemson
College The Journal has obtain
ed information as to the methods
of fighting this pest, but for lack
of time and space only a part of
this information can be given
here. 1t will be furnished in full
however to anyone on applica
ton. The following has refer
ence to the prevention of the
red spider next year:
"The red spider fight for next
year should begin now. Violets
around tenant houses on the
cotton plantation should be re-
garded as pestiferous weeds and
not as flowers. Poke weed
stalks can yet easily be seen and
should be removed and destroy
ed before they die down. Be
fore fall destroy black berry
canes on the terraces and on the
edge of the field. In general the
destroying of weeds and the
general cleaning up in the fall is
not only important for red spider
control but is one of the most
valuable farm practices"

Dug Up Money In This County.

One night last winter a hole
was dug at the root of an old
oak on a hedgerow right near
Hopewell church. Next day the
hole was discovered by a citizen
OF the community. and upon in
vestigation it was found that in
the bottom of the hole was the
impression made by an old kettle
which had apparently been
buried there for years. A wagon
track was seen also, and these
things coupled with the tradition
that money was buried in this
section. led to the belief that a
man or men from a distance
came there, located the place
and dug up the kettle of money
and carried it away.
When Sherman's army march
ed through this county it follow
ed the old Camden road TO Ches,
terfield, and Gen. Sherman with
the main BODY of the army
camped near this place, and ii
has been said and believed that
some OF these yankees buried a
Kettle of looted money in the
community. Just why IT was
allowed to remain there for SO
many years is a mystery.

Cheraw Chronice Outfit De-
Stroyed


Cheraw. Aug. 2O.-About 1
o'clock Saturday night the
building occupied by the Che
raw Chronicle was found to be
on fire. The fire department
quickly responded to the call,
but such headway had been
made bv the flames that nothing
could be saved but the walls.
The entire printing plant, in
cluding two linotypes, is loss.
This, with the building, totals a
loss of about $4,000. ]. N.
Stricklin, the proprietor, is un-
decided whether to replace the
plant or to discontinue. The
good work of the fire depart
ment saved the adjoining build
ings, not even the awnings being
scorched or the glass broken.
Mr.. Stricklin's loss is partly GOV
cred by insurance.

Lieutt ne Mt Knight Tells About
the Taaiaing Camp

the Taaiaing Camp
Lieutenant A. L. Knight who
is spending few days at home
here, has written the following
article for the Journal IN which
he tells of the experiences of the
three months training at
Chattanooga:
One can imagine the amuse
ment that $500 rockies. as we
could have been we'll called,
afforded G man versed in mill
tary affairs the first two or three
weeks of our camp life. Many
amusing incidents took place of
which l will attempt to relate
only few.
Of course there were many
men who entered as old ex-
perienced military men, but the
majority were entirely green at
the game. coming from almost
everv walk and vocation of life.
But let me say right here, in my
opinion, no finer bunch of men
could be gathered together any
where in the South than those
that left their professions, their
trade, their schools, their all to
give to their country their best,
not only for the three months of
training, but for the duration of
this world conflict for Democra.
cy, peace and liberty.
Before arriving at the window
where we were to get our as
signments to barracks, many of
us thought if we would go up
together we would De assigned
to the same barracks, but 10 our
amazement and chagrin we
were thoroughly sifted and
mixed in the fifteen buildings
that had only been finished a
few days ard were waiting splck
and span for their occupants.
There were differences of
opinion as TO which was better
the barracks or tents, but to my
mind, all were agreed before the
three months was over. 1t was
soon found that the buildings
were not sufficiently ventilated
to accommodate the crowded con-
ditlon thar existed after all can
didates arrived. 1t was found
that every square inch of floor
space had to be occupied with
cots except just enough space to
allow the inen TO pass to and
from their cots. Immediately
upon this discovery carpenters
were put to work building ven
tilators to be placed on the roof
of each building. These were
built with hinged plank that
could be worked with cords
from the inside allowing them to
be closed during rainy weather
and opened when fair.
1t must have been discourag
ing to the instructors to view this
vast bunch of greenhorns at
first. Every kind of salute
imaginable was given in passing
officers at the camp. Some
saluting with cigars and ciga
rettes in their mouths. others
even failing to give ATTY what,
soever. The following incident
probably caused more laughter
and comment than any other.

The prophecy goes on to say:
"And in the days Of these kings

not be left to other people, but it
shall break in pieces and consume
all these kingdoms, and it shall
stand forever."-Dan. 2:44.
That kingdom Of God is not to

back to rule over this earth as a:
literal earthly King. His throne,
will be in the literal earthly Jeru-

there He will rule in righteous
ness, directing the affairs Of the,

ton Of evil occupations-they will
be stopped. There will be no,
more wars, famines and troubles:
such as we have now. Everything
will be peace and happiness.
