Notes From County Agent.

Many farmers report that their
hogs have mango. Dip or rub your
hogs with crude petroleum. The COM
position of this varies, so be careful
not to apply too strong, but try a
few hogs until you find the right
amount to rub of the solution you
have.
A hogs system Graves mineral mat
ter. It is also good as a tonic and
tends somewhat to prevent worm in
festation.
Keep the following mixture before
the hogs in box or self-feeder at all
times:
Charcoal, 1 bushel; hardwood
ashes, 1 bushel; salt, 8 pounds; air
slaked lime, 4 pounds; sulphur, 4
pounds; pulverized copperas, 2
pounds.
Mix the lime, salt and sulphur
thoroughly and then mix the char
coal and ashes. Dissolve the cop
peras in one quart of hot water and
sprinkle the solution over the whole
mass, mixing thoroughly.
If you have hogs, cattle or mules
to feed, now is the time to increase
your paintings Of peas, velvet beans
and sorghum, and don't forget to
plant as many sweet potatoes as pos
sible. And after your plants have
started good runners increase your
crop with atting vine cuttings. Re-
solve to grow plenty of feed this
year so that the high prices of feed
stuffs will not worry you.
Now is the time to plan to build
your sweet potato storage house.

You should be among those who will
feel good over the high prices they
can get for their well-kept sweet po-
tatoes in the spring. This winter
may not be as mild as the last one.

Somebody Start 1t.

Who will undertake to establish
the sale of eggs by weight instead OF
by the dozen? He will deserve to be
called benefactor.- .-Yorkville En-
quirer.
Prosperity or Newberry either
could very we'll start this reform; for
both are good egg markets, especially
the former.
Nobody buys cabbage-heads by the
dozen, nor watermelons. With every
other food except eggs the price de-
pends, not on the number but upon
the quantity-which can only be de-
termined by the weight. If, for in
stance, one buys apples or oranges
by the dozen, the price per dozen de-
pends on the size, but when we come
to eggs, why an egg is an egg and
whether large or small is no great
matter. Still anybody knows that
large eggs ought to bring more than
small ones.-Newberry Observer.

ATTEMPT AT RAPE.
Girl Eludes Negro Who Is Arrested
and Put in Jail.

Barnwell, June 16.-An attempt
to rape the daughter of a respectable
white farmer living near Reynolds
Station, On the Southern railway be-
tween Blackville and Elko, was made
Sunday afternoon by a negro named
James Daniels. The young woman
eluded her assailant and gave the
alarm. The negro was taken into
custody by party of white men who
telephoned Sheriff J. B. Morris to
meet them in Blackville, which he
did, bringing the would-be rapist to
the Barnwell Jail. Although quite
a crowd had gathered at Blackville
when the sheriff reached there, no
effort was made to lynch the negro.
Hearing rumors of projected
lynching bee Saturday afternoon,
Sheriff Norris and his deputy, J. F.
Grubbs, carried Sarah Pompey, the
negro woman accused of shooting a
young white girl in Allendale county
last week, to the penitentiary in Co.
lumbia for safe-keeping.

("Buck''9 Lewis, wanted since May
20, in connection with the fatal

said to be the only male witness to
the shooting of James W. Hogg, was

the sheriff awaiting him. He and
George D. Kirkland and John Dun

shooting of Marley. Considerable
conjecture has been made as to the
whereabouts of Lewis since the dou-

EHRHARDT PUSHES AHEAD.
Many Improvements Being Made in
Thriving Town.

Ehrhardt, June 14.-On account
of the extremely wet weather here
during May and June there will be
only from one-half to two-thirds OF
the crop made in this community.
However, the sun is shining today
and few days of such weather will
get the land in condition so that the
farmers can clean out their crops.
Ehrhardt is one of the best and
latest growing little towns in lower
South Carolina. Her merchants are
abreast of the times, they carry large
and varied stocks of merchan disc and
the two splendid banking institutions
have recently given notice of their
intention to increase their capital.
The Carolina Gin company is en-
larging it's gin plant and putting in
four additional 1910 saw gins. A new
company has also been organized
with paid capital of $4,000, which
has bought out the Farmers ware
house, one of the largest roofs in
Bamberg county, and will also ab-
sorb the electric light plant in this
place. The same company also pro-
poses to put in a modern ginnery and
ice manufacturing plant and will also
own and operate the local telephone
system.
Mr.. R. A. Bennett, son of the Hon.
w. D. Bennett, is back from year
and a half service in the United
States army in France and Belgium,
and has opened a modern fancy gro
cery and meat market. He runs a
cafe in connection with the business.
The Rev.. Sam Danner and the
Rev. Mr.. Curry, the latter being
great songster, are running pro-
tracted meeting in the Methodist
church at this place. Mr.. Danner
does the preaching and Mr.. Curry the
singing. The meeting, while under
the auspices of the Methodist church,
is largely attended by all denomina-
tions and is doing great good in the
moral and spiritual upbuilding of this
town and community.
DR.. Henry N. Snyder, president of
Wofford college, delivered a strong
and forceful address at the school
auditorium on Wednesday night, at
the closing exercises of the Ehrhardt
high school, of which Miss Ida M.

BYRNES ENTERS PROTEST.
Against Fordney's Plan to Increase
Potash Tariff.

Washington, D. c., June 12.-Ap-
pearing before the ways and means
committee to protest against the
proposition of Chairman Fordney to
increase heavily the tariff on potash
in order to protect the domestic pot
ash industry, Representative James
F. Byrnes, of South Carolina, de-
clared that the adoption of the Ford
ney bill would be exceedingly injuri-
Gus to the farmers of the country and
argued that instead of costing the
domestic producers from $4OON to
$500 a ton to produce, as had been
asserted, the cost of producing pot
ash in this country is from S12O to
$3.50 a ton.

NO PERMITS AFTER JUNE 80.
Assistant Attorney General Delivers
Opinion in Reply to Inquiry.

Columbia, June 16.-No permits
for alcoholic liquors in South Caro-
lima must be issued after June 80,
according to an opinion issued this
this afternoon by Morris G. Lumpkin,
assistant attorney general. The opin-
ion of Mr.. Lumpkin is based on a
pamphlet of instructions received by
the internal revenue department IN
Washington. Mr.. Lumpkin's opinion
was given to J. G. Davis, judge OF
probate of Dillon county, who made
inquiry if permits were to be issued
after June 80, when the liquor order
ed is for medicinal purposes. 1mme-
diately Mr.. Lumpkin took the matter
up with D. c. Roper, commissioner OF
internal revenue. The opinion con-
cludes:
can examination of the pamphlet
referred to in the commissioner S let
ter discloses no provisions whatever
allowing an individual the privilege
of securing any alcoholic liquors for
medicinal or other personal use. The
commissioner refers to this, and calls
attention to the fact that to secure
non-beverage spirits or wines, per-
NIT must be obtained and a bond
given, and in the case of wines for
sacramental purposes, certain aftlda-
Wits must be made.
"You are, therefore, advised that it
is the opinion of this office that after
June 80 the issuing of liquor permits
should be discontinued, as it is be-
lieved that no delivery of such al
coholic liquors can be made under the
federal law"

can troops that participated in the
punitive expedition against the Villa
rebels in and near Juarez last night
and today were billeted in barracks
and camps on the American side to-

One American of the seventh cav
airy, Corporal Chigas, was shot
through the lung by Mexican rebel.
Rebels Pursued.
After crossing during the night the
cavalry column, supported by a bat
talon of the S2nd artillery, advanced
and at daybreak began a scouting
tour. Capturing the seven prisoners
before reaching the Villa camp, the
cavalry was enable to proceed, dis
mounted, to short distance OF the
adobe headquarters when fighting
was begun by the Americans standing
in water up to their knees. Four Vii
Ia men were killed in the first assault
and the entire force, numbering ap-
proximately 200 men, mounted and
escaped toward the southwest with
the cavalry troops in pursuit. The
rebels scattered into small bands, the
fifth cavalry pursuing one band 80
miles.
Tn the meantime the seventh cav
airy deployed to the southeast and
pursued another band. Troops A and
G. executed a mounted pistol charge
from the saddle and killed a number
of the rebels.
The artillery placed shrapnel d1-
rectly over the heads of the fleeing
villa force and many were killed
After the pursuit the two cavalry
forces formed a junction and re-
turned to the American side OF the
river, accompanied by the artillery
and eighth engineers.
The seven Mexican prisoners pro-
fessed to be either farmers in the
valley or Carranza soldiers, none ao-
mitting having been with Villa.

FAREWELL WOMAN HURT.
Mrs. Leila Graham Injured in Auto
mobile Accident.

Barnwell, June 17.-Mrs. Leila
Graham of Barnwell, was painfully
injured yesterday afternoon in an un-
usual automobile accident that oc-
Cured in the western part of the city
on the Barnwell-Salkehatchie public
road. She was in the car of her
daughter, Mrs. W. G. Jennings, who
was driving. Mrs. Graham occupied
the rear seat with several children,
who were climbing from the rear to
the front seat and back again. Fear
ing that they might fall from the
machine, Mrs. Jennings reached back
to help them, her attention being mo-
mentarily distracted from the road.
Before she realized what had hap
pened. the car swerved and struck a
tree by the roadside. The automobile
stopped so suddenly and unexpectedly
that Mrs. Graham was thrown partly
from the car against the tree, where
she was pinned by one of the sup
ports of the top. Fortunately other
cars were passing at the time and
the assistance rendered by their oc-
cupants probably saved her life. At
first it was thought that she was IA
tally injured, but a more thorough
medical examination disclosed the
fact that while painful her injuries
we're not Sd severe as first reported,
and the hope is entertained that she
will soon be completely recovered.
