Husbands Must Do Better

The Marshville Home gives
the following advice to North
Carolina husbands since the en-
actment of the new statue in
<egard-te causes for divorce: -
"Now, 'hubbies," just listen:
If YOU don't look out, you are
.goin' to haye to be as good as
your wives. The Legislature
has enacted a law providing for
equal footing for men and their
wives when ii comes to the di-
vorce proposition. One breach
of fidelity on the husband will
henceforth serve as grounds for
divorce for the wife, just as one
breach on the part of the wife
has served for claims in favor of
the husband in the past. Mere
Man" is losing his advantages
over the fair sex and this is fair
warning to the trouser brigade
to be good.

Bodies of Three Americans,
Slain by Mexicans, Found by
PershinR Scout Just
Across Border

Hachita, N. NJ. Feb. 15.-
Three bodies, later identified as
those of Andrew P. Peterson,
Hugh Accord and Burton Jen-
sen, late today were found BY
Lem Spillsbury. the Pershing
Scout, one mile west of Interna
tional Monument No. So, situ-
ated three miles west of the
Corner Ranch.
The bodies of the three Amer
leans were found about so feet
apart, according to Spillsbury.
Each victim had been shot many
times in the head. The spot
where they were found is on the
Mexican side of the border.
Hugh Accord's head was mutt
lated with a machete, according
to Spillsbury. All of the bodies
were stripped of clothing, hats
and shoes, Splllsbury said.
Spillsbury found the raiders
trails early this morning and fol.
lowed them during the day,
coming upon the abandoned
bodies late this afternoon. From
what he could learn. the Nor.
mon scout said he was convinc-
ed that the three murdered men
had been taken into Mexico
from American soil and then
killed.
A Government agent. after an
investigation of the raid, report
ed to Washington that the Mex
leans under Prudencio Miranda
were eating dinner at a ranch
house on the American side
when Peterson, Jensen and Ac-
cord rode up, unarmed. The
Americans were made prisoners.
His report also confirmed previ-
Gus reports OF the Corner Ranch
raid.
From later advices to military
officers, the reported raid on
Lang's ranch and the killing of
two American ranchmen, was
believed to be baseless.
Ed Chunky Spencer, the
American negro ranch foreman
for the E. K. Warren & Sons in
terestS, who reached the border
late Tuesday with Salazar's de-
mand for $4,000 in gold, also
brought with him verbal state
ment which he declared Salazar
made to him at OJitos, Chihua-
hua, the purpose of which was
that Salazar intended to raid an
American town on the border
which would surpass Villas raid
a: Columbus. N. NJ. and in
which all "men of gringo land
will have to take care" but that
women and children would be
protected.

MIR. w. J. Tiller Talks of Home
Orchards

County:
There are great many ques-
tions that should be brought TO
the minds of the farmer at this
time, but the most important is
the care of the home orchard.
There have been shipped into
this county this year several
hundred dollars worth of fruit
trees and if they are not proper
ly cared for it will be money
thrown away.
Quite frequently we are asked
why fruit trees die, especially
peach trees. The two worst
enemies of the peach tree are
the San Jose Scale and the peach
tree borer. Nine times out of
ten when you find your peach
tree showing signs of death you
can lay it to either the San Jose
Scale or the peach tree borer.
There is only one logical meth
cd of destroying the scale and
that IS to spray. Spray with
lime sulphur wash. This can
be applied to all trees as the
scale will attack nearly all fruit
trees.
This solution can be bought
from your dealer ready prepar-
ed, or you can make it at home
by boiling Is pounds of lump
lime and Is pounds of sulphur
for one hour and then add to
this enough water to make so
gallons. Apply this to the trees
by means of a spray pump or
wash.
This pest is very easy to con-
troll If it is begun in time, and
now is the time tor this work to
be done. You can secure this
solution ready prepared at Odom
eA Co.. Chesterfield; Page
land Drug Co., Pageland, and
J. w. Blackwell, Jefferson, Route
No. l.
The peach tree borer attacks
the tree at or near the ground.
That is noticed by the gum dis
charge from the tree. The tree
should be cleaned and the borer
looked for with a piece of fine
wire. This insect can be sue.
cessfully fought by mounding
up the earth around the trunk
of the tree about eight inches
during the lst days of July and
taken away the first days of
October.
To get the best results from
your trees they should be pruned.
Most any one can do that by
thinning out the growth each
year and cutting back about one
fourth the growth from the pre-
vious year.
| will be glad to assist any
community by instructing them
in the care of the orchard, and
in order that l may reach the
most people, if the different
communities will come together
at some one farm l will gladly
meet with them and give all the
help can. Don't hesitate to
call on me.
1t is very important that the
farmer should take care of the
orchard as ii will be one of the
means to meet the boil weevil.
Every community should have q
spray pump, as they are useful
in a great maay other ways. |
can assist you in securing a
pump. | would not advise buy
ing anything but a barrel pump.
They will cost from twelve to
twenty-five dollars and will last
longer and give far better ser.
vice than the smaller ones.
| can help all the people by
community cooperation, but
