Plant Fall Oats Early

Clemson College, Sept.7.-Best re-
suits are secured with fall oats when
they are planted early. When seeded
reasonably early oats make a better
growth, giving more grazing for live
stock if desired for pasture, more pro-
lection to the soil as cover crop, and
make a better yield in the spring.
For the Piedmont section of South
Carolina the latter part Of September
O, the first of October is the best
time; for coastal plains sections Oct
ober is the best time according to
Prof. C. P. Blackwell, agronomist.
If oats are planted for seed pro-
duction they should be seeded alone,
but if for cover crop or for hay, hairy
vetch should be seeded with them.
The hairy vetch not only improves the
quality of hay, but also serves as a
soil improving crop because it takes
nitrogen from the air and fixes it in
the soil in a usable form.
Methods of Seeding
The most common prectice is to
seed oats in corn and cotton middles
with a three-tube drill, or to sow
broadcast and plow in with cultiva-
tor or sweep.
In sections where cotton does not
make a rank growth and where it
natures early, it is good practice
to plow under the cotton stalks as
soon as the cotton is all out This
should be done with large plow and
with a weed hook or weed chain to
help cover the plants completely.
This will help materially also in the
control of the boil weevil. After the
land has been plowed, the oats may
te seeded broadcast and narrowed In,
or they may be seeded with a disc
drill.
Oats are also seeded after corn fire.
quently, and this is good practice
and may be done successfully if velvet
beans are not grown in the corn. If
velvet beans are grown in the corn,
it will be necessary either to Craze
them off before planting oats or to
chop them up with heavy disc and
plow them under. This will OF nee
essity make the oat seeding later.
The best varieties of oats to plant
are the Fulghum and the Appler, and
the best rat. of seeding is about two
bushels per acre.

HERIFF GAMBLE
SHOT in FACE
WHILE SEARCHING HOUSE SUN
DAY NIGHT FOR NEGRO MAN
ON ]. w. COWARD'S PLACE

Sheriff H. S. Gamble was Sunday
night shot in the face aid painfully
wounded by a negro man, claimed to
be Nose Salters. Salters was employ
ed on the farm of j. w. Coward, three
miles east of town. Sunday after
noon, it is alleged, the negro became
abusive and threatened the lives of
Mr.. Coward and his family. Sheriff
Gamble was summoned by telephone.
When he reached the negro's home on
the Coward plantation about nine o.
clock, he was told by Salters' wife that
The man was not at home. Sheriff
Gamble started to search the house
and as he opened the door of the cook
room, shot fired from the darkness
of the room struck him in the face,
the ball entering his left cheek and
shattered several teeth. Sheriff Gam
bic was hurried back to town and just
as he was leaving the scene in his car
the negro, it is said, jumped out of a
window of the cook room and plunged
into the dense cornfield surrounding
the house. Blood-hounds were wired
for at Newberry and arrived here at
o'clock Monday morning in charge
of their owner, Mr.. T. H. Tague, a
breeder of canine man hunters
Soon after Mr.. Tague and his son
reached Kingstree with their three
dogs they were accompanied to the
scene of the shooting and the dogs
took a trail which they followed to
the home of John Faison, another ne
gro, where Salters, it is alleged, was
taken into . buggy and sent further
on his way to escape.
From early Monday morning until
noon yesterday all the inlets and out
lets of the Santee swamp roads and
bridges in the community were well
guarded from Sunday night until
about noon yesterday At that time
the dogs and men, some of whom
had been diligently on the hunt since
Sunday night, came in.
At present there are six or seven
negroes in jail. Salter's wife and his
son are being held for telling Sheriff
Gamble that the man wanted, Nose
Salters, was not at home. Faisor and
the others are held it is claimed, for
aiding and abettina Salters in making
his escape.

FLORENCE NEGROES SHOT
Crowd Attempts to Prevent Arrest
by Officers.

Five negroes are known to have
been wounded, one of them fatally; by
a fusillade of shots by sheriff's dep
uties. Joe Connor Of florence and
L. W. Smith of Poston fired into a
crowd which was seeking to prevent
the arrest of L. G. Groom on a charge
Of robbery. The affair took place be-
tween Savage and Poston in the lower
part of Florence county at a church
where a big meeting was in progress.
The officers succeeded in arresting
Groom after shooting him down as
he was attempting to elude them. He
was taken to the Florence hospital
where he died Saturday.
Groom offered no resistance to the
officers. When he took his seat in
their car, however, negroes crowded
upon the car declaring they would not
permit the officers to make the arrest.
One of the negroes struck at Officer
Joe Connor, the blow grazing his face.
Believing that they would be over
powered by force of numbers and
fearing they would be fired upon, the
officers poured volleys into the crowd.
Four men were seen to fall During
the firing, Groom jumped from the
car and was shot down. The officers
gathered him and left the scene, most
of the crowd having been dispersed
by the shots. Groom is charged with
robbing a fellow passenger on a Sea-
board train of $500.

KEEP THE PASTURE BACK
Proper Grazing Keeps Plants Tender
and Succulant.

IF South Carolina is to succeed in
the swine business, which is receiving
increased attention over the state, she
must do so by making wise and liberal
use of the forage crops properly pas
tured, thinks Prof. L. v. Starkey, chief
of the animal husbandry division,
which is working to promote the sue
cess of the swine industry among our
farmers.
1t has been pretty thoroughly DEM
onstrated that the digestive system Of
the hog is net prepared to handle
woody roughages, and 1t is an undis-
puted fact that the larger the plant
the greater the amount of cellulose
OF woody fiber it will contain. There
is a lesson here for the man who rails
es hogs, suggests Prof. Starkey, who
advises that forage crops such as
rape and rye should not be permitted
! to get too large. There are two ways
to prevent this One is to put on
enough livestock to pasture it down
to the right stage, and the other is to
run a mower or scythe over the crop.
If the plant is cut off or pastured off,
the new shoots will be tender and sue
culent.
At Clemson College this year a
number of gifts were on bur clover
and bermuda grass. The grass got a
head of the hogs because the number
was not sufficient to pasture it down.
In another field there was sufficient
livestock to keep the pasture nipped
pretty closely. Hogs in this second
pasture did much better than those
which had to forage from the larger
plants.
In pasturing such crops as rape it
did much better to have the pasture
field divided and shift the hogs from
one field to another. This gives the
Few shoots a chance to get started,
and it also gives the hogs a change,
both of which are desirable.

MANY SAFEKEEPERS
IN PENTTENTIARY
SOME FACE DEATH OTHERS
AWAITING ACTION OF GOVERN.
OR AND SUPREME COURT

The Columbia State says; fifteen
prisoners are now being held at the
state penitentiary for "safekeeping,"
this being possibly the largest number
ever confined to the prison under SIM
liar circumstances at any one time,
according to penitentiary authorities.
In addition to these Is marked safe
keepers, several others are under death
sentence and are awaiting disposition
of their cases by the state supreme
court and the governor.
In the death house are Edmund D.
Bigham, white, who is under death
sentence for the murder of his brother,
L. Smiley Bigham, at Pamplico, and
Pink Griffin, who was sentenced a
few days ago to die for the murder of
DR.. Lawton C. Lipscomb of Ninety-Six.-
Harvey Whaley, the negro who was
convicted at St. Matthews as an ac-
cessory in the Wadford murder, is in
the prison proper and awaiting action
by the governor. His life has already
been prolonged three times by the
chief executive and the last stay of
sentence will expire November a.
The governor has had the Whaley case
investigated by a detective, but no
announcement has been made in re-
CARDS to what the detective recon-
mends in the case.
William Thompson, negro, is also
awaiting action on his case. He was
convicted of numbering Patrolman
George S. Burroughs Of Grccnville
and sentenced to be electrocuted May
27. A record for court trials was
made in the Thompson case when he
was captured by posse, turned over
to the officers and tried and convicted,
all within 72 hours after the crime
had been committed. This speedy
trial, however, did not result in a
quick execution as an appeal to the
supreme court stayed the sentence
end the appeal will not be heard until
the coming November. A decision
may be reached before Christmas, but
this is extremely unlikely, it is said.
Among the safekeepers added to
the list in the last few days is Hor-
ace Williams from Berkeley county.
Williams, a white man, has been in
Jail at Berkeley county for some
weeks, but authorities there were
anxious to have him brought here and
Governor Cooper signed an order
when in Columbia Saturday directing
the penitentiary authorities to admit
Williams. He is now occupying
cell at the prison. He is charged
with attempted assault.
Other safekeepers include F. J.
Kirby, charged with participating in
the Brazell murder; Abraham May,
negro, held on an attempted assault
charge which is alleged to have oc-
cured at Brsnchville; James Mark,
negro held for the same offense as
May, he being charged with attempt
ing to assault young white girl near
Florence. In addition to these is
Hugh T. Bramlett, Greenville contrac-
tor, who is serving time at present.
He may be transferred back to Green
vile county if certain conditions in
the judges sentence are complied
with; T. B. McLaurin, is awaiting ac-
ton of a board of psychiatrists to
determine whether or not he is sane.

WATER PUR|F|CAT|ON
FOR TOWNS ON RIVERS

The method by which Uncle Sam,
acting through the u. s. Public Health
Service. purifies the drinking water
for his model hospital village and res
ervation ut PerryvilIe, Md, though not
altogether new, carries some interest
ing lessons for the country at large
and particularly for towns situated
along tidal rivers
The raw water. which is pumped
from the Susquehanna River through
30-nch mains TO settling tanks, is sub
iect to rapid changes in turbidity
ranging from 10 to 100 parts per mill
lion: and the amount of aluminium sui
plate to lie added as a coagulant and
precipitant must he varied TO suit
Samples of the water entering the
mains are taken every two hours; and
the amount of coagulant TO be added
is determined by the chart based on
the amount of water and its turbidity,
for instance 06 grain of the alum is
added for 10 parts per million OF tur-
bidity. This amount. however, is also
governed by the alkalinity. which may
vary greatly during the day: when il
drops below IA parts per million. soda
ash is added.
Two hours are allowed for settle
ment in the tanks. after which the
water flows by gravity through me-
chanical rapid sand filters, passing
through three feet of sand and eight
inches of stone and gravel at the rate
of two inches in 80 seconds. Later,
the water is treated with liquid chlor-
inc. the amount depending on bacter-
biological examination IF the raw and
the chlorinated water. This treat
ment reduces the bacteria from an
verage of $3.50 (maximum 1860 per
cubic centimeter 10 less than one.
The condition of the water at Perry
Vile is affected by the geological for
nation of the country, by the daily
conflict Of the tide and the river cur
rent. and by the strong winds which
often cause terrific wind action on the
low flats. all OF which necessitate very
effective treatment.

OF marrying one who was her equal.
Wooden Boy-Doli was very unhappy.
for he knew no way of getting up
where Girl-DoIl was hanging and he
was sure she never would come down
TO where he sat on the floor of the
shop window.
At night he could hear Girl-Doll
and Boy-Blue talking and he heard
her tell him that all that separated
them was the Jumping Jack that hung
between them.
"Oh. dear" thought Wooden Boy,
.instead Of one rival / have two.
never will be able 10 win her. Even
if / could be hung on the same line,
there would he many between us"
So little Boy-Doll sat very sad AMI
lonely on the floor and thought Of his
sweetheart. far above him. at whom
he could only look, but not once did
she lower her proud little wooden head
10 look at her true lover.
But one day, when all seemed lost
to little Boy-Doll, for Jumping Jack
had been sold and now th<re was
nothing TO keep Girl-Doll and Boy
Blue apart, the spring that held Girl
Doll broke and down she tumbled
right beside Boy-Doll
Girl-Doll looked up AT BoyBlue, but
he did not lower his head she was
TOO far beneath him TO be noticed.
That night. when all was still, Girl
Doll SAT close TO Boy-Doll. for the
shopkeeper had placed her there ut
is very pleasant down here" she said.
II think ! shall like living here"
Then the heart of little Wooden Boy
went pit-a-pat and he grew quite bold.
I'VE are equal now he said, don't
you think we might get married?"
"Of course. silly Boy" answered
Girl-Doll, that was why l came
down."
