FOOLISH PEOPLE.

Bill Johnston let his cow get out
and eat Jim Turner's corn. Jim, he
took his shot gun down and plug
ged one through the horn. Bills lit
tie boy came in and told his father
all about it. and Bill he swore, his
hair he tore, he raved and fumed and
shouted. And then forded INTO town
TO buy some ammunition. He swore
he'd shoot all things of Jim's he
found on his plantation. On reaching
home he cleaned his gun, oiled it
nice and neat. He knew Jims chick
ems would be found devouring his
wheat. And when they come" he told
mis- wife, Just view me kill and slay.
I'll show Jim Turner shooting is a
game that two can play. Old Bill was
sure some mad guy when he heard of
Jim's big threat, and talked of tell
inG the revenues who made that
county wet. Then their wives, they
met one day down at the village store.
Mrs. Johnson thought it was the time
TO even up score. Said she TO Mr.
Turner's wife, You know that its a
fact, you're always geeting things
from me and you never pay them
back. I've loaned you flour, meat and
lard, coffee, tea and cabbage. A per
son who won't pay their debts is
worser than a savage" Then Mrs.
Turner, she got mad and started in to
say a lot of how those Johnson kids
fought her little boy at play. Thus it
went from bad to worse, and ended In
a fight. The mayor sent them both to
Jail, and there they spent the night.
If Bill had fixed that pasture fence
50 that it would hold his cattle, and
Jim had used some common sense
Instead of getting ratified, and then if
those two women folks had put their
heads together and tried to stop that
foolishness instead of fighting each
other, then all this would have never
been, and they would still be friends.
l. don't take much to start a row, but
a lot to make il end. The Turner kids
and Johnson kids met one morning on
the SLY to play the childhood games
again as in the days gone by. 1t was
not long till sad to say, a dirty fight
got started but sister she got on the
; 5Nb and soon had them parted. Don't
worry. they will make up soon,
now with rage they are brim-
ming, for little kids have got more
sense than grown up men and wom-
en-.

WOMAN CHARGES ASSAULT.

a rather unusual case came before
white woman charged that she had
been assaulted, but admitted that she
could not remember the name of the
man who assaulted her. The woman
lives in the western part of the coun-
ty, and has long since passed middle
age. She claimed that man she
knew but whose name she did not
recall entered her home and assault
ed her. Questioned in Magistrate Has
elden's court she charged several diff
ferent men with the crime, but lat
er withdrew the chargs Then she
seemed to have an Inspiration and
said the Lord had just told her that
her assailant was Beachman Cox, a
negro who lives on DR.. J. II. David's
place near town. Cox was brought
before Magistrate Haselden and sub
jected TO rigid cross examination
but he claimed that while he knew
the woman her accusations We're alb
solutely false. He proved by reliable
witnesses that he went away Satur-
day night, the night the crime is al
legged TO have been committed, and
did not return until Monday morn
ing. He also introduced witnesses
who helped him in establishing an
alibi. Cox was bound over to court,
but there seems to be some doubt as
to the sanity OF the woman who
charges him with the crime.

DILLON MAN PRAISES ANCoNAs.
Col. G. q. McLaurin Says Little An
coma is Living Dynamo.

The following is taken from Mon
days issue of the News and Courier:
The little speckeled hen" or Mot
tied Ancona is fortunate in having a
bunch of real boosters in South Car
DINA. During the poultry show and
meeting at Columbia last fall the
breeders of this variety got together
Tor the express purpose of organizing
strong Ancona movement in this
state with view to bringing out a
big string of Acnonas at Columbia
this year.
The success of this movement is
evidenced by letter just received
from G.. G.. McLaurin of Dillon presi-
dent of the South Carolina Ancona
Club. Mr.. McLaurin is a strong be-
lever in his favorites and backs them
against all comers. He says, when
you tie to the little speckeled hen
you have living dinamo-no dead
wood to struggle with"
The Ancona leader expects to have
good line of birds out this fall and
says in his letter Il have been doing
considerable work for our little club
since its organization, and have had
fairly good response from the An
coma breeders. l have secured pledges
already, for more than 100 entries for
cur next annual meet, which will
probably be held in connection with
the State Fair With a little assist
ance on your part, and with the boos-
tcrs we are enlisting, l feel safe in
saying that il Will be only a short
time before our breed will constitute
the greatest display at the show"
/ Mr.. McLaurin lays stress on the
great amount of good to be accom-
plished by little organization work
He points ou that his efforts and
the efforts of those who are back
! ing him in the movement, have
brought forth good results.
! Other breeders who are interested
in bringing out a fine line of Anco
mas this year are: Wendell NJ. Levi
OF Sumter, vice-president; u. w. Cot
trell, of Columbia, secretary treas
urer; Mike l.. Roof, New Brooklyn
j. F. Monroe, Greenwood; E. L

tanburg; Thos. T. Hogan, Columbia
F. r. Rister, Chaplin; Chas. NJ. Wat
son, Navy Yard and Mrs. H. H. With
ers, Columbia, members of the execu
tive board.

SUPREME COURT HOLDS MAR
ION MAN DID NOT BLOCKADE

Washington, Feb. 2S-Today the
supreme Court of the United States
reversed Judge Smith, of the Fed
eral District Court of Eastern South
carolina in the case Of Lawrence
Amos, of Marion county, an alleged
blockade" whiskey seller, on
grounds involving the search of
premises by Fedeal revenue agents
without warrant. The Supreme
Court declares such search unconsti-
tutional.
Amos was indicted on six counts.
on four, of which he was acquitted.
but was convicted on counts of re-
moving whiskey on which the Fed
eral tax had not been paid and of
selling whiskey without payment of
the FEDERAL tax. 1t was brought out
Ill the trial before. Judge Smiths
court that P. j. Coleman and o. A.
Rector, revenue agents, went toAmos'
house. to search the premises, stating
that they were officers. Amos wife
said he was not at home but she per-
mitted the search and the agents
found n barrel of peas a bottle
containing about half pint of block
ade whiskey and under a quilt two
quart bottles of similar liquor They
mad no search warrant and no war
rant for the arrest of Amos. They
submitted as evidence a small quan-
tity of liquor which they said was
from the bottles which they found
In Amos house.
Justice Clark writing the opinion
OF the Supeme Court declares that
the cross examination of the govern
ment witnesses shows clearly the
unconstitutional character of the
seizure by which the property which
the government introduced az evil
dence was obtained.
Contention that the constitutional
rights of the defendants were waived
by the act of his wife admitting the
searchers is not sustained, the high
est court holding that there was i'm
pied coercion in the circumstances.
The supreme Court remands the
matter for further action in accord
ance with the decision announced to-
day.

COUNTRY CLUB TO
ALLAY FEELING

AT a meeting Wednesday night of
the Marion and Mullins people held
in the Marion Chamber of Commerce
hall for the purpose of discussing the
feasibility of a country club to be To-
Gated on the Marion-Mullins road a
committee Of five was appointed to
investigate the matter of a site and
formulate a plan for organization.
III. l.. Tilghman, of Marion, acted
as chairman at the meeting. He ap-
pointed on the committee s. w.
Norwood and j. M. Johnson, of Mar
lon, and HI. o. Schofield, T. l.. Smith,
and X. ]. Williams, of Mullins. The
committee met this afternoon for the
purpose Of investigating prospective
sites for the club house and golf
links.
Several enthusiastic talks were
made at the meeting and from the
general spirit exhibited it appeared
that Marion and Mullins could get
together on the question of a golf
club and put the proposition over.
For long time the spirit of rivalry
between the towns of Mullins and
Marion has been keen to almost a
point of bitterness. 1t is believed
that country club OF this sort where
citizens of both towns will be thrown
together in a pleasant way will tend
to eradicate unfriendly feeling.
The distance between the two
towns is nine miles and the road
good the entire way. There are sew
eral stretches of ground along the
road which will make good golf
courses. The plan Is to locate the
club as near midway as possible.
According to plans discussed last
night, a stock company composed of
Marion and Mullins citizens will pur-
chase the property. Arrangements
Will be made to let others in on
minimum dues.

March 21st, at three o'clock.
Mr.. Tracey T.. Fore recently lost
by fire about thirty bales of cotton.
which was stored in a barn on his
Browns Greek plantation. Nineteen
bales were entirely consumed. tho
rest being badly scorched. The orig
in of the fire is unknown.
Mr.. s. w. Epps, farm demenstra5-
tion agent for this county and sAr.
Williams who is also engaged in this
work, but of statewide scope, visited
the Oak Grove school one day last
week and each made good talks in
the interest of their work. Quite a
number OF the boys expressed a de-
sire TO do club work this year
The good wather of the past few
weeks has been beneficial to farm
work and many farmers are making
rapid headway along this line.
So far very little guano has BEEN
shipped into this section and the gen
eral opinion Is that IL will be use;2
around here in very limited quapti-.
ties.
