The Red Cross Chapter.

The Bamberg county chapter of the
Red Cross is going right ahead in its
work of organizing the people of the
community in this worthy enterprise,
and the officers say that they wish
everyone in the county to become a
member. Now. that our nations ar
mics are being trained, and will
probably be on the firing line before
long, it is especially important that
the noble work of the Red Cross be
pushed forward. A work-room has
been secured in Bamberg, in the
town hall, and it is open for workers
on every Tuesday and Thursday
from nine to noon and from four to
six in the afternoon. New branches
have been organized in Denmark,
with about As members, at kearse,
with sc members, and at Ehrhardt,
with about As members. Real in
<erest is shown in the work, and it
is hoped soon that all of the branch
es will be in full operation. Twenty
five comfort bags have been complet-
ed by the chapter, with the exception
of the buttons, which will have to be
ordered, as the demand for these
seems to exceed the supply. 1t is
confidently believed that the Bam-
berg county chapter, with it's branch
es, will soon be doing great work
in furnishing supplies.

Wanted Information.

"How deep's dat 'Lantic ocean,"
inquired one negro of another as
they stood on street corner this
morning.
Bout five miles, more or less.
What you ask dat for?" was the
answer of one who was apparently
informed on marine matters.
"Well, 1 wants to know dis: If
you is drowned in dat water dat's
five miles deep will you sink to de
bottom three times and come up dat
many times like you do in dis coun-
try?"
Il don't know nothin' bout dat"

NEGRO PREACHER LYNCHED.
Beaten and Shot to Death 10y Crowd
of Both Races.

York, Aug. 23.-The Rev. w. T.
Sims, colored, pastor of st. Johns
Baptist church, near Sharon, eight
miles west of here, was taken from
his bed at an early hour this mornin
and beaten and shot to death. A mob
of negroes and white men numbering
approximatelythirty, did the deed.
The negro preacher was spending
the night at the home of Bob Burris,
a member of his congregation, when
he was pulled from his bed, his night
clothes were taken off and he was
dragged down the road a half mile,
his assailants beating and cutting him
all the while. He died from bullet
wound in his hip. His bruises would
have killed him.
No motive for the crime can be dis
covered. Sims had trouble some time
ago with some members of his church,
but so far as the sheriff's investlga-
ton had extended he had done white
people no harm. Fred Penninger, a
well known young white man of Sha-
ron, and Frank Twitty, colored, are in
jail, charged with being parties to
the crime. Witnesses at the inquest
testified that, Dick Norman, a promi-
nent white man living near the scene
of the killing, was involved. He had
not been arrested tonight. There is
considerable indignation among both
whites and negroes over the crime.
1t is said the negro had used strong
language against the draft, and in
opposition to the war, and this is
given as a probable reason for his
being summarily dealt with.

KEEP TOOLS UNDER SHELTER
Practice Of Leaving Harvesting Ma
chinery In Open Results In consid-
erable Damage.

Usually there are many who leave
their harvesting machinery out in the
weather for some time after all har-
vesting is over. Such practice results
in considerable damage to the binders
and other harvesting machinery. All
farm implements have advanced in
price. and carelessness in taking care
Of them will cause considerable loss.
At no time has the use Of labor-saving
machinery been in greater demand on
the farms, and every farmer who has
such machinery should by all means
take the very best care Of 1t. Just as
soon as one has finished using an Inn
plement 1t should be put under shelter
and where it will be kept in good con-
dition for the next crop. Binders are
easily broken II left In exposed places,
where wagons and other farm equip
ment are jammed into the same COR
ners. Quite often mowers, binders,
wagons, etc, are all found in one tan
gled mass in one corner of the shed.
along with the drills and threshing
machines. Such carelessness can only
result in some of the machinery being
damaged. By caring for such machin-
cry properly the lifetime Of the imple-
ments can be doubled.

GOOD SYSTEM IS DESIRABLE
Few Farmers Make Plans to Dispose
Of Improbable FowIs-cull Out
Undesirables.

Very few farmers practice sys-
tematic plan of disposing Of their
fowls after they have ceased to be
productive, although 1t is well known
that fowls Of the heavier breeds,
such as the Plymouth Rocks, cease
to produce profitable number Of
eggs at the end Of their second laying
year. This holds true Of the lighter
breeds, such as the Leghorns, at the
end of their third laying year. Conse-
quently, If efforts were made to dis
pose Of all females when their best
laying days were over, large guam
tity of poultry meat would be placed
on the market. All poorly developed
chickens should likewise be culled out
and used as meat. This way Of dis
posing of improbable fowls would
allow the farmer to feed his grain to
younger and more productive fowls.

Rail. save Little Pigs.

stinct. Later when she starts to far
row 1t is wise to remove much OF
the bedding.
The narrowing pen should be
equipped with rails, as shown In the
drawing. These rails may be made Of
2 by pieces nailed SO that they are
parallel with the floor, with six inches
clearance underneath and with four
inches or more between the rail and
the wall.
The purpose Of this rail as well as
the removal Of superfluous bedding
il to prevent the SOW from crowding
the little pigs to death. The rail per-
,nits the little fellows to crawl behind
and get out.
Personally I find that "watchful
waiting is the best policy with far
rowing brood sows. They usually start
to farrow a few hours after they
commence to make their bed. Then
an hour or SO spent in caring for the
animals frequently saves several of
the offspring. After two or three pigs
ere farrowed the mother usually gets
up, remakes her bed and turns over.
At this time she pays little attention
to the pigs that have come and it is
best to watch them. After the SOW is
through narrowing there is little dan
ger of her lying on the pigs.

We are asked by the president to
increase the production Of our farms.
In the face Of the fact that the plea
came almost too late for some farmers
to radically change their plans, the
acreage for cultivated crops has been
wonderfully increased. The five and
ten-acre corners Of stump. or hillside.
land which had previously been con-
sidcred not worth the trouble have
been broke for cultivation.
A few farmers who have every avail
able acre under cultivation must con-
tent themselves in trying to raise more
to the acre and in conserving all they
can.
In this connection an effort to save
the little pigs at farrowing time is un-
doubtedly profitable and patriotic
method conserving the food supply.
Contrary to some of the older farm
ers' ideas, do not let the brood SOW,
which is to farrow. make her bed
around an old straw or hay stack. Pro-
vide good shelter, well protected
from cold and rain, and, preferably,
having a solid floor.
Do not let the SOW root a deep hole
for bed. She can be given gen
erous amount of straw for bedding at
first, just to satisfy her animal In

BEST GROWTH OF ASPARAGUS
Plant Favors Soil Rich In Vegetable
MatteNGet Field Ready Dur.
lnq Fall Season.

Asparagus makes the best growth In
soils abounding in vegetable matter.
The field should be got ready in the
fall.
This means that manure should be
used with the greatest freedom, and
If clover sods are available, they
should help materially in the starting
Of the plantation.
Land Of any kind to be planted with
this crop should be heavily manured
and plowed in the fall, repeating the
operation and adding more manure the
following spring.
The plowing should be as deep aa
possible, although care should be e1-
ercised to avoid turning up too much
Of the sub-soil.
Disk and cutaway harrows may be
used to good advantage In preparing
the soil. Effort should be made to get
a fine bed to the full depth Of the
plow furrow, with all vegetable mat
ter thoroughly incorporated with the
soil.
