DESTROYED By FIRE.
lightning Strikes Barn at Fairfax.
Heavy Rain Storm.

Fairfax, June 16.-A large barn,
comparatively new, belonging to the
estate of the late G. H. Sanders
was set on fire late yesterday af-
ternoon by lightning and was de-
stroyed with it's contents, consisting
of 1000 bushels Of corn in the ear
and other feedstuff. The fire from
the barn was communicated to an
other outbuilding which was also de-
stroyed. The loss was considerable
and it is said there was no insur-
ance.
There was heavy fall of rain dur
ing the afternoon of yesterday over a
large area in this section which was
needed and which will be beneficial
to the growing crops which look very
promising. The cotton plants are
healthy and fourishing but boil wee
wills are already numerous and prob
ably there will be but little cotton
made.

Menace of Fly.

Human carelessness is charged
with the menace of the house fy, IN
the little treatise of the Florida board
of health. Through carelessness the
fly is permitted to find suitable-breed-
ing places, is given access to filth lad
EN- with germs of tuberculosis, ty-
phoid, dysentery or diarrhoea, and IS
allowed to pass the germs on to man.
In we'll severed city the fly is of less
consequence because infected filth is
placed out of reach. Beginning a
week or ten days after her appear
ance, the fly lays three or four batch
es of eggs, of perhaps 120 each, and 1t
is estimated that nine-tenths of these
eggs are laid in horse manure. Eggs
hatch in eight to IL hours, the adult
stage, when the fly emerges full size
from the pupa, being reached in ten
to IA days. Flies are prodlglous
feeders. They will suck in half their
weight in liquid, and much that is
taken pases through the body un-
changed. Thus germs picked up may
be contained, still living, in ny
specks. A single fly may deposit 30
fy specks a day, and in addition as
many as 100 lighter colored regurgl-
tation spots. Besides this, body and
feet may carry Infection from open
sewers.

AS to whether or not the method
of applying molasses and calcium ar
senate to cotton for poisoning the
boil weevil is effective, The Herald
cannot say. 1t has presented the
method to the farmers as information
only, it's only purpose being to offer
all the information on the subject
that can be secured.
In order that the planters may be
in possession of both sides of the mat
ter, we are printing below state
ment recently issued by the Clemson
college extension authorities, in
which the statement is made that the
sweet poisoning method is not only
nothing new, but is ineffective as
we'll.
y AS The Herald has previously stat
ed, there is a wide difference of opin-
ion concerning the molasses poison
ing; some say it is all right and 9TH
ers say it is no good, and The Herald
has given it as it's opinion that mas
much as trial is not at all costly,
every farmer should experiment to
his own satisfaction. He can then as
certain the comparative results.
The article referred to follows:
"The use of sweetened poison for
the boil Weevil is nothing new, but is
nearly quarter of a century old,
says Prof. A. F. Conrad, chief ento-
mologist, in regard to the current
discussions as to poisons. AS far
back as 1898, poisoned sweets were
employed early in the season applied
by means of a stick, few drops on
each cotton plant. The only differ
ence between the concoctions Of those
days and the formula recommended
at this time is in the particular ma
terials used. Then the principal for
mula consisted of molasses and paris
green, or molasses and white arsenic.
One formula which attracted special
attention. probably because of it's very

SANDEL LOSES CASE.
State Wins Case in Cirucit Court
After Hard Fight.

Columbia, June 26.-The jury in
the case of J. O'Neal Sandel against
the state of South Carolina brought
in verdict for the defendant yester-
day in the court of common pleas.
The u men filed into the court room
at 2:45 o'clock Yesterday afternoon
just 19 hours after the hearing was
concluded. Clerk Hinnant published
the verdict and the jurors, judge and
lawyers departed for their homes.
The Sandel cases have attracted
wide interest in South Carolina. The
plaintiff entered two suits against
the state Of South Carolina because
of the alleged death of two of his
children from inoculation with what
the plaintiff claims was impure vac
cine. The first case tried was that
brought because Of the death Of
Thelma Sandel, resulting in verdict
for the state. A new trial was
granted by the supreme court and a.
the spring term in Richland county
a verdict for S25,250 was given the
plaintiff. The case completed yester-
day was that brought because of the
death of Minnie Sandel. The state is
to appeal the Thelma Sandel case to
the supreme court.
Sandel sued the state for S50,0UU
in the case concluded yesterday. The
plaintiff alleged that his daughter,
Minnie, was inoculated with anti
typhoid vaccine furnished by the
state laboratory and that she died on
the following day from the effects of
an Injection of impure serum. The
inoculation was made by DR.. Brown
ing at Lone Star, Calhoun county, on
or about July 13, 1915, according to
witnesses.
A number of physicians testified at
the trial. The plaintiff introduced
seven witnesses and the defense put
eight on the stand. Attorneys on
both sides contested every legal
point and Judge Townsend ruled on
many points at issue. The trial be-
gan Friday afternoon and the jury
retired at 7:40 o'clock Saturday
night.
It was evident at $50 o'clock Sat-
urday night that little hope was en-
tertained for a verdict before Sum
day morning. The foreman indicated
to the judge that the IL men were
divided when he was instructed to
bring in a sealed verdict.
Judge Townsend, Clerk Hinnant
and Sheriff Heise assembled at the
court house yesterday morning at 9
o'clock and the jury was given an ad-
ditional charge by request. The 12
men retired and at 1 o'clock they
tossed a coin out for soft drinks.
The fluid disappeared and at 2.45
o'clock a rap on the door indicated
that an agreement had been reached.
Court officials were summoned and
the verdict was announced.

ANDERSON BANKER SUICIDE.
Lee G. HOlleman President of Peo
pies Bank of That City.

Anderson, June 23.--Lee G. Holle-
man, president of the Peoples Bank
Of Anderson, shot himself through
the head Wednesday at 4:2O o'clock
at garage in which he had an inter
est. There was no one in the garage
at the time A man across the street
heard the shot and ran across to the
garage. Mr.. Holleman was dead
when he reached him, one bullet from
a .32 calibre revolver having gone
through his head, entering the right
ear and coming out through the left.
There was a directors meeting OF
the bank at o'clock. The directors
were waiting for Mr.. Holleman when
they heard of the death. E. P. Van
diver, vice president of the bank says
the bank is solvent and no one need
worry over the condition Of the bank,
In the pocket Of Mr.. Holleman's
coat was a note to his wife with this
inscription on the envelope: "May
the great God protect you and for
give me for what I am going to do
1t is thought that hard work, finan-
cial stringency and strain were the
cause of the act. Mr.. Holleman was
of jovial disposition and was the
last man in the community that would
would have been thought to have
taken his own life.
Mr.. Holleman was 49 years of age
having been born in Walhalla Janu-
ary 4, 1872. He moved to Anderson
in 1892 where he became bookkeep-
er in a mercantile Enlistment. In
1899 he was one of the organizers OF
the Peoples Bank of Anderson, and
was assistant cashier and bookkeepe1
until 1906. At that time he became
the first bank examiner of South
Carolina, being appointed for a term
of four years. He served only two
years and then returned to Ander-
son to become president of the Peo-
ple's Bank, an institution which un-
der his direction became one of the
strongest banks in northwestern
South Carolina.

For Cotton Growers.

Washington, June 23.-Methods of
affording relief to the cotton growers
of the south were considered at a
meeting today of senators from the
southern states with Secretary Wal
lace and Secretary Hoover.
The situation confronting the COT
ton growers was canvassed from all
angles and it was agreed that some
means of relief must be Immediately
attempted. The cabinet members
were said to have agreed to the sug-
gestion put forward by the southern
senators that means be found to en-
able banks to make an extension on
the cotton paper now held. and also
to place additional credit at the banks
of the growers.
The general belief Of those particl-
pating in the conference was descrlD-
ed as favorable to consideration OF
the plight of the cotton growers IN
mediately, the situation facing the
cattle growers of the west having been
alleviated. 1t was not believed that
additional legislation would be nee
essary and it was thought that action
by congress should be avoided in the
interest of speed.
Senator Smith, South Carolina, who
was largely responsible for today's
meeting, announced tonight that an
other conference would be called
soon to work out definite details Tor
affording the necessary relief.

complicated nature was made of mo-
lasses, paris green, white arsenic,
and arsenate of lead. All of these
poisons have arsenic as the active
ingredient, and no one has ever been
able to see why all this array of COM
pounds.
LAS the early application of sweet
ened poison killed certain per-
centage of weevils, it appealed to
many farmers in each state when
ever the boil weevil appeared. Each
year as new territory has been in
vaded by the weevil and new groups
of farmers have became panicky,
they have been inclined to nibble at
the bait on almost any hook that is
thrown out to them, but So far as
sweets are concerned there is no
evidence that boil weevils have been
attracted by them. So in the course
of "a years sweetened poison has not
gained much recognition though the
Weevil has invaded eleven states. In
fact sweetened poison has seldom
paid the expenses of treatment and it
has therefore been generally aban-
doned.
.''Instead of any of the special pois-
ons now advocated by some, the use
of calcium arsenate is strongly rec
commended, says Prof. Conrad, al
though calcium arsenate has no
greater. arsenic content than paris
green and white arsenic of the
earlier day. Poisoning in the heavily
infested, high yielding land will be of
very great help in producing a cot
ton crop provided the poisoning is
done properly, but regardless of the
amount of poisoning one intends to
do, it is urged that every farmer
stand by his crop and give it better
attention than ever before. Poison
ing can never be depended upon to
secure cotton crop, unless the cot
ton is on good land and under
system of good farm management."

The Orang-Outang.

It is impossible for an orang-ou-
tang to stand upright or to turn
about without supporting himself by
means of his arms; nor does he ever
walk with stick, as he is often rep
resented. The number and arrange
ment of his teeth are the same as
those of men, but his teeth are all
stronger, and his eye teeth project
like those of beast of prey. Al
though possessed of great physical
strength and very belligerent, the
orang-outang is vegetarian, living
on fruits, buds and young sprouts,
but varying his diet by robbing birds
nests and hunting insects. In cap
tivity he eats soaked rice, milk, raw
eggs, oranges, dates and is very fond
of bananas and white bread.

Jacob E. Carter Shot to Death;
E. /. Goodwin is Accused

complaint to Sheriff Ray that he was
afraid of Mr.. Goodwin, and that he
feared for his life, alleging that
threats had been made by Goodwin.
The sheriff advised him to swear out
a peace warrant for Goodwin, and he
said that he would, but it is said that
he later told friends that he would
wait for while, believing that moth
ing would be done by Goodwin. A
person in the community is report
ed as having heard Goodwin tell Car
ter that unless sum of money, S17o,
alleged by Goodwin to be due him
by Carter, was paid by noon Friday
he, Goodwin, would kill Carter. 1t
was brought out at the inquest that
GoodWin's wife went to Carter Fri
day concerning the money, which
Carter alleged that he did not owe,
and payment of the same was refused.
A warrant had been issued for
Goodwin On a charge of issuing a
check without funds to cover the
same, and it was for this alleged
offense that the magistrates con-
stable had arrested Goodwin Friday
afternoon, after the killing, but be-
fore it had become known.
Goodwin is a nephew, by marriage,
of the deceased, and his wife was
the widow of Carter's son by form
er marriage. Mr. Carter is said to
have been very fond of Goodwin's S
wife, and that a few years ago as
signed life insurance policy to her,
on condition that she pay the prem
iums on it, the payment to be made
to her upon his death. 1t was for
PAYMENTS Of this insurance policy,
it is said, that Goodwin claimed Car
ter was due him. 1t is said that the
policy was allowed to lapse year
or so ago.
Mr.. Carter was II years of age.
A step-daughter resided with him,
but was absent from home at the
time of the killing. Mr.. Carter's
reputation in the community, and
throughout that section, was of the
highest, and he was generally looked
upon as a high-toned Christian gen.
tleman. The tragic manner of his
death was the cause of much resent
ment in the community, although a
citizen from that section stated Sat-
urday that he did not believe the
citizens there had any intention of
doing anything rash, that the excite
ment was only natural resentment
of what appeared to be a foul muir
der.
Mr.. Goodwin is we'll known in
Bamberg, being frequent visitor to
the city during the past several
years.

SWEET POTATO PROFITABLE.
Farmers Asked to Grow Needful Pro
duct This Season.

Columbia, June 23.-The sweet po-
tato, the coming money CROP Of the
south, is to be given first attention
under the cooperative marketing pro-
gramme of the South Carolina De-
velopment Board and Chamber of
Commerce, according to an announce
ment made at the Columbia headquar-
ters of this statewide organization
yesterday. The selection of the sweet
potato as the first diversified farm
product to be handled under modi-
fed "California plan," is the result
of a recent conference between the
executive committee of the board
chamber and the directors of the
South Carolina Sweet Potato Associa-
ton, when the good offices of the
former were placed at the dis
posal of the latter organization.
The potato marketing activity of
the board-chamber is to be under the
direction of H. E. Horton, the new
manager of the organization, who will
work in close cooperation with the
officers of the Potato Association in
solving what is probably the most
urgent agricultural problem confront
ing South Carolina at the present
time.
With a sweet potato crop Of over
100000 bushels last year, about 81
100000 bushels were marketed, less
then SO car loads or approximately
10000 bushels were sold outside OF
the state. The task to be undertaken
by the Board in coopera-
ton with the Potato Association and
other agencies, is to first place the
states crop in a marketable condition.
and second, to find an outside market
for this years surplus, which from
present estimates will greatly ex-
ceed that of last season.
Preliminary steps Of the campaign
to fill all of the touring" houses OF
the state with uniformly graded sweet
potatoes, are now under way. AS a
result, it is hoped to not only reduce
the large wastage of recent years, but
TO provide at least 100000 bushels
of South Carolina's coming money
crop" for sale beyond the borders OF
the state.
While the work of growing the crop
and contracting for the filling of the
curing houses, in going on, plans are
to be perfected for marketing the
''sweets" produced to the best ad-
vantage. A study of this important
question discloses the fact that up
until the present time practically no
concerted effort has been made to en-
ter the northern market or increase
the southern consumption, as the
south has used practically all the

$500 Per Year in Advance

Jacob E. Carter, one of Bamberg
county's most substantial citizens,
was shot twice with buckshot last
Friday afternoon, and probably in
stantly killed, at his home in the
Little Swamp section, about six miles
from Ehrhardt, in the section recent
ly annexed to Bamberg county from
Colleton county. E. L. Goodwin, who
resides within sight Of the Carter
home, has been charged by the coro-
ner's jury with the crime. Mr.. Good
win had been arrested before the
crime was discovered, on another
charge, and was brought to Bamberg
Friday afternoon late. When the kill
ing of Mr.. Carter was discovered by
a passer-by later in the afternoon,
Sheriff Ray was notified by authori-
ties at Ehrhardt, who also conveyed
the information that feeling in the
community was at a high state OF
excitement oyer the crime. The
sheriff hastily considered the matter
and decided to carry Mr.. Goodwin
to the state penitentiary as precau-
tionary measure for safety, and he
left a few minutes after the message
was received, going by circuitous
route to the state capital, where the
prisoner is now lodged.
Mr.. Goodwin denies all connection
or knowledge of the affair, which has
the aspects of being one of the most
brutal murders ever perpetrated in
this county. Mr.. Carter was appar-
emily shot without warning, as his
body was lying at a woodpile in his
yard, the appearance indicating that
he had probably been cutting wood.
The axe and a pile of chopped wood
were near his body.
An inquest over the body was held
Saturday morning by Magistrate l..
G. Yarley, of Ehrhardt, the verdict
being that Mr.. Carter came to his
death from gunshot wounds at the
hands of E. L. Goodwin.
The body was discovered Friday
afternoon about 4:30 o'clock, and
persons in the community are said to
have heard shots in the direction of
Carter's home about 800 in the af-
ternoon. When arrested Mr. Good
win was in an outbuilding. A sin
gle barreled shot gun was found in
his home. Two shots had been fired
into the body of the dead man, both
penetrating from a slightly backward
direction.
The evidence against Mr.. Goodwin
is circumstantial. There were, so far
as known, no eye-witnesses to the
tragedy.
Mr.. Carter was in Bamberg day
or two before the killing, and made
