VALUABLE CATTLE POISONED.
Brattleboro Man Has Lost Several Val.
ued at About $1,000.

Brattleboro, Nov. l5.--Nine regis
tered Holstein cattle owned by Arthur
B. Ciapp of Brattleboro were poisoned
this week by eating pyrox and seven
have died. The two remaining are in
charge OF a veterinary and it is expect
ed that they will live. The animals
were cows and heifers and were valued
at upwards of $1,000.
At the last planting season Mr.. CIapp
put four acres of potatoes on the Wild.
er farm, and during the summer the
vines were sprayed with pyrox. As Mr..
Clapp understands it, the receptacle in
which the pyrox was carried was left
in the field, with some of the poison
in it,
A few days ago some Of the cattle
were turned into the pasture where the
potato field was and in that way got
hold Of the pyrox.

We regret that we will have to
abandon the idea of getting out a
Christmas edition which we had con-
templated and for which we had al
ready secured the advertising. We
desire to thank the business men of
Newberry for the readiness with
which they agreed to take space in
that edition of the paper. In fact
we had orders for sufficient amount
of advertising to warrant the print
ing of a 40 page paper, but owing to
the amount of job work at the office
and the scarcity of help it will be
impossible for us to undertake the
special edition. We regret this be-
cause we had planned to get out a
fine paper, but just now the office
is short of help in the mechanical
end and there is limit to the
amount of physical endurance even
of print md we have to give up
the idea of getting out the issue as
contemplated.
Practically every business man
that we approached. readily bought
space and we regret that the pro-
ject has to be abandoned.

SAVE AUTUMN LEAVES.
Best Soil Builder Known Is Natures
Own Compost.

Atlanta Constitution.
There is more truth than poetry in
the statement of contemporary who
said that people who burn all their
leaves and then spend money for COM
mercial fertilizer need to have their
heads attended to-"
The time is close at hand in this
latitude when autumn leaves will
cover the ground, each days fall be-
ing a matter of dread to the small
boy whose duty it will be to keep
| walks and lawns free from the trees
discarded habiliments.
The traditional and customary
manner of disposing of autumn
leaves that clutter the streets and
private grounds is to rake them into
piles and set fire to them; but that
constitutes only another proof of our
lack of thrift.
Leaves contain every element that
is necessary in the development OF
floral life. For that reason they can
be converted into the best fertilizer
known.
The process is very simple, further
more, consisting merely in letting
decay.
Piled, or, better still, dumped into
a pit, and permitted to rot by natures
own process of decomposition, leaves
become what the gardeners call COM
post-a commodity Of rare value
both as a fertilizer and permanent
soil builder.
Put on the land and spaded in, this
compost not only supplies all the ele-
ments of plant food, but, in addition
to plant growth, it puts humus into
the soil-vegetable matter that aids
in the conservation Of moisture and
in keeping the ground loose and
friable, thus aiding root development.

bustible mineral ingredients-when

CENSUS INTERPRETATION
OF THE WORD "FARM''

Washington, Nov. 3.-What is a
farm?
Seems a foolish question to ask,
doesn't it? Almost anyone can tell
off-hand just what farm is and
knows one when he sees it.
But do you happen to know the
Interpretation Uncle Sam places on
the word "farm" for census purposes?
No? Then read how his Bureau of
Census defines the word:
"a farm for census purposes is all
the land which is directly farmed by
one person conducting agricultural
operations, either by his own labor
or with the assistance of members of
his household or hired employees"
In further explanation of this def
milton the Census Bureau points out
that the term agricultural opera
tons" is used as a general term re-
fer.ing to the work Of growing crops,
producing other agricultural products
and raising domestic animals, poultry
OF bees.
From this definition it will be seen
tsat g. farm may consist Of single
: - o. lar; or &C number OF
= azd distinct tracts. Ard

WAKE UP.

The election ,on the bond issues
will be held today, Tuesday. Do not
fail to attend and cast your ballot
for the advancement and progress
of the town, which means that you
must vote for the bonds, and when
the debts are wiped out we want to
vote some more bonds SO as to get
the money to build some streets in
the good old town.
Newberrians who sisit at Green
wood or Abbeville or any of the
other live towns in this great Pied
mont section can not help saying,
why is it that Newberry does not
keep pace with these live towns in
the matter of street improvement,
and this street improvement in these
towns is telling very effectively in
the matter of the growth Of the
towns in other very improtant re-
spects. The only reason we can give
in answer to this question is, that
our people need to be walked up.
They are asleep to their own hurt.
Every one will tell you that there
is no better town anywhere than
Newberry, and it is true. The peo-
pie are the best, the business men
are the equal of any, the farmers
are among the best in the State. In
the matter of intelligence there is
none to excel, and then why do we
not wake up and do something.
Time was when Newberry was the
largest town in the State above Co
lumbia. Time was when Greenwood
was but hamlet compared to New
berry. Newberry should get the
step and keep time with the prog
ress of the age. In order to do SO
She must spend some money and
then some more money on her
streets and on other improvements
that afe greatly needed.
Go out and vote the bond issues
proposed so as to wipe out the debts
that now exist and give the council
the leeway to impose more taxes to
pay the running expenses of the
town, and then get ready for more
money to make needed improve
ments. Now is the time to act.

in reality the peoples builaing and
a memorial erected by the people.
Another good thing the .coamis-
sion has done IS not to consider any
of the proposals to make it an :utili-
tartan building, but strictly nnemor-
ial building where the records of the
soldiers may be kept and where the
people may go ioc information con-
cerning the great world war.
Mr.. B. C.. Matthews and his conl~
r,ittees in Newberry are going to
raise the portion that is expected
from Newberry, and If you have not
yet taken a part do not wait any
longer but see Mr.. Matthews at once.

,ees Took Carload Of Sugar.

Bees Took Carload Of Sugar.
Near the station of Fontainebleau,
France, a carload Of crystallized
sugar was held up and within four
days the entire load had disappeared
in spite Of the guards.
Not far from the station at Avon,
there are large bee farms, and while
the bees covered the car in swarms
no one supposed that they could car
ry away the crystallized sugar. Nor
could they. But Industrious and in
genious they betook themselves to
nearby basins and fountains and car
ried drops Of water to melt the sug-
ar! The dampened sugar formed a
syrup that was easily transported to
the hives.
