came to grief opposite the Maple Cot

baggage and express cars left the

train, which has a fast schedule, was
picking up speed after leaving Dillon,
and was not running very fast when
the coaches left the track. The train
carried only few passengers. No.

SWALLOWS SWORDS
TO GET LIBERTY
Suspected Safe Crackers Upset Offic-
er's Dream.

Sheriff Heise enjoys good joke
and he made the welkin ring when il
was discovered that county officers
mad arrested a man who could swal-
low swords, and another who "eats
fire on tip that the two men might
be the safe blowers who cracked the
safe in EdSefield postoffice last week
Several days ago citizen from
the rural district rushed into the
sheriff's office and said he had sight
ed two men walking toward Colum-
bus. One carried long package that
appeared to be rifle covered and
tied. The other carried grip. The
enthusiastic informer suggested that
the men might be safe crackers and
III short time two county officers
were on their way toward Irmo to in
tercept the suspects. The strangers
were located on the tracks of the Co
lumbia, Newberry & Laurens railroad
and were placed under arrest They
were brought TO the sheriff's office
for investigation and side show per
formance followed.
One of the prisoners appeared to
be about As years old and he car
ried the package supposed to CON
tain rifle. The man with the grip
was about "a years old. The elderly
prisoner be gan to thank the county
officers for bring him to Columbia
and the officers exchanged queer
glances. The prisoner united his
ugly bundle and four swords rat
tied. Picking up long one with a
sharp edge, the prisoner proceeded to
shove the blade down his throat. He
pulled it out and added another to
show that he could swallow two at
the same time. After swallowing all
the swords he had on hand, the pris-
oner informed the officers that his
friend was fire eater" and both
We're on their way to Florence TO join
u carnival. The good natured pris-
orer said he and his friend went
broke and were forced to count cross
ties to get to Florence. Two pennies
was the sum total of the wealth of
the travellers.
Friendship sat upon the throne in
the sheriff's office and ma few min
utes the officers had raised neat
sum to present to the men who were
suspected of being safe blowers. The
story leaked out.-The State.

Spotted Preacher for Yeggman
Lumberton Robesonian.

Lumberton Robesonian.
Things will happen. 1t was Tues
day morning that Chief of Police d.
Nj. Bucker was advised by wire that
three yeggmen were on the Seaboard
train from Charlotte and to be on the
watch for them. The yeggmen had
blown a safe in Charlotte according
to the wire message from the Char
lotte officer. Knowing how tricky
yeggman generally are, Chick Barker
had plenty of officers on the scene TO
take good care of the situation. The
train came in and the officers looked
the passengers over. Only one man
had the appearance of yeggman
and one of the officers nabbed him.
This one proved 10 be 4 minister and
had his credentials along to prove it.
The officer "let go" when he was
convinced that he had arrested q
pI eacher.
Ii was later learned that the ycgg-
men changed trains at Hamlet, going
towards Raleigh.

Two Inchc Snow Sunday Night.

Perhaps one of the most remark
able and phenomical snow storms oc-
curing in the southern section of
North Crrolina was witnessed at
Rear Swamp, between Buie. N. c.,
and Rennert, n. c., last Sunday night.
Conductor Nann, running on A. c..
l.. No. SO reports that there was one
and one half inches of snow i'm this
section when he passed through early
Sunday morning.
1t began to snow at about $50 p.
m. and continued to d. so until
about 100 a. m. The storm was ac-
companied by thunder and lightning
and those living near by say it was
violent and furious.
The area covered was nearly a
mile in width and seemed to he CON

GET OUT OF THE BOAT.

After hearing ME talk cotton for
the past three months on the same
lines that Farmer Bob" wrote in this
weeks issue of The Herald, some of
my friends are giving me credit for
writing the article. While | would
be proud of it, still 1 didn't write il
and shouldn't have the credit. l
think he is right, we should start to
farming for ourselves, and have as
little as possible to do with the speak
ers and expert advisers OF how to
handle our cotton, for we all know
that The American Cotton Associa-
ton, The Cotton Corporation and
Warehouses never put up tho price
of cotton, but L think We could say
that Germany put up the price of
cotton and the Associations helped to
put in down, for it seems if we had
sold us fast as We gnned, started to
paying. our accounts, our share crop
pers and ourselves started TO buying
goods, the merchants would have had
to get in the market for new goods
and of course the mills would have
10 supply them. Then again have YOU
ever heard OF Il farmer that sold his
cotton as fast as he ginncd year in
a,
and don't you think he would have
to be some kind of 4 prophet to know
what years to hold and what Years TO
sell, so it seems that ii would be lots
better to make ii and sell it and use
tie money; and Ill venture to say
that ninety per cent of the cotton
stored in the state belongs to banks.
merchants and fertilizer dealers. but
none of them stored it. | believe in
WarchOuSinG ii TO keep il out OF the
weather but don't believe in storing
it for good, and we will stop il as
soon as the warehouses start to sell
ing some cotton to pay storage. Have
you ever seen 4 crowd of men or
women going over the state holding
meetings to advise the banks how to
loan money and run their banks and
telling the merchants when to buy
goods and when TO sell them and how
TO do 1t, still we will listen to what
they tell the farmers, and | believe
the farmer ought to run his own bus
mess.
Now we are in the pickle and we
Will have to get out the best way We
can, and l think the best way is to
plant what cotton we can gather be
fore it turns blue in the fields. and
don't plant so much that we Will
have TO depend on hands that live in
town TO pick it; ana try selling il as
We gin for a few years. for no selling
means no buying, no buying no spin
ming, no spinning no using, and if
We don't do any of these, let's not
get in another boat unless We have
something TO dip the water out with
(moncy) for this boat reminds one
Of the steamboat Abe Lincoln told
Iabout, that used to ply on the Miss
issippi in the early days 1t had a five
foot boiler and seven foot whistle
and every time the whistle blew the
engine stopped.

ISSUES CHALLENGE
AS TO KILLINGS.
Statement From Dillon Gets Re
sponse from Calhoun.
To tho Editor of The State.

To the Editor of The State.
In your issue yesterday was an item
of news from Dillon county TO the
effect that no murder case was on
the uocket of the criminal court be
ing Ield in that bailiwick and q
further statement from Solicitor
Spears t;tai Dillon county led the
whole country in the paucity of hom-
icides In South Carolina, especially
where the t1&ing of human life is SO
common as to cause little concern
and where the sentence for hog steal
ing is usually scN"IeI in our courts
than for man kilnIf the record OF
Dillon county. is mply magnificent
She deserves a1l VIII receive the
congratulations OF every lawabidinG
citizen in this con monwealth be
smirctc l. as she is 5y such a dis
graceful r,urder record. Mr.. Spears,
doubtless, has the statistics and know
what he is talking about. Out of Gu
rosity, however, some of us would like
to know a little more about the ac-
tual facts. Calhoun county may wish
to enter that contest, also. During
the IA years of her life since she
started Housekeeping on her own
hook there has been only one white
murder case within her limits. Only
recently a young white farmer was
killed in a most atrocious manper by
a negro and some of that race have
killed each other, as 1 suspect they
have done in Dillon county, unless
negro hot suppers" are unknown in
the Pee Dee section. Until further
prooof is forthcoming we throw down
the gauntlet and challenge the other
counties to beat our record. If we are
left in the shuttle, there will be no
envy and jealously over the outcome.

Meeting Decides.

Crookston. Nov. 29.-Dehnite steps
We're taken at IA meeting here Monday
for the erection Of a community ware
house in Crookston for the winter
storage Of certified seed potatoes. The
meeting was called by %. X. Berget,
manager of the Certified Seed Grow.
ers' association of the Red River val
ley. who outlined to the growers pres
ent his plan for a. warehouse and the
reasons why the project should be I'M
dertaken.
All growers present endorsed the
Plan n another meeting was called
for December IL with other growers
tn this vicinity to be requested to Dack.
the project and give their support at
the second meeting. (,
The plan as outlined by Mr.. Berget
calls for h erection Of a sixty-car
potato hcuSa so constructed that addi-
lions can be made as more growers
desire space. Erection of the ware
house will take place next summer to
be completed in time to house the fall
crop. ~
The primary building sill be, 100 by
81 feet with individual bins for each
member. the bins to have a capacity
OF five car loads each and to be ac-
.cessible for conveyors from wagon to
BIN or from bin to car.
E-f Will Be Modern Building. q,
The building will be frost proof. FIVE
fleet under ground n six feet above
and constructed according to the
latest system for successful potato
storage. .
%.Althoush it was not definitely de-
cided it was proposed the cost of the
building he $4,000 and be bonded SO
growers. after dumping their potatoes
iE the bins could borrow money IN
their warehouse receipts.
Potato history shows Mr.. BerSet
told the growers present at the meet
ing, that potatoes are usually low in
price in the fall and high in price in
the early spring. This is because
farmers have not enough storage fa-
cilities and are forced to dump their
potatoes on the market before the fall
freezing period arrives. A good il
lustration of this state affairs is offer
ed this season., when despite a short
potato crop, Red River valley pota-
toes have glutted the market because
farmers could not hold them in stor-
age"
