Weeyils may be controlled by fu-
migating with carbon bisulphide.
This liquid, as we'll as the gas, Is
easily set on fire, and then explodes
violently. For that reason ii should
be handled even more cautiously
than gasoline. Hence fire of ali
kinds, including lighted pipes, Gig
ars, candles, amblers, lamps, etc.,
should be kept away. Lofts should
should not be fumigated when live
stock Is kept under them. When the
material Is not in use it can be stored
in cool place.
Carbon bisulphide may be obtain
ed from local dealers and from the
| wholesale drug houses at from 20
cents in small lots to cents in 100
pound drums, fob. The containers
| are furnished at an extra cost, but
are returnable.
Directions for Fumigating.
Clean old bins thoroughly. Make
tho bins or cribs tight. Select a time
when the temperature of The air Is
not below 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
Use carbon bisulphide at the rate of
pounds to 100 bushels of grain, as
follows: Level the corn at the sur
! face and at points three feet apart
each way pull out the ears to make
| hole. Into this pour the carbon
hisulphide in equal amounts. Throw
the ears back and spread blankets
over the grain. Close the crib tight
| Fumigation should be continued for
"a to 4S hours before the crib is
opened. No ventilation is necessary
| except that If the crib is brick one
it should be ventilated> at the end of
SO to As hours.
In fumigating wheat spread it on
the floor in as thin layer as possi-
ble,. not over six inches deep, athen
sprinkle the grain and cover with
blankets If possible, or crocus sacks.
If the grain is In sacks, open the
sacks and apply the carbon bisul-
rhide at the rate of Z pounds to 100
bushels, tie the sacks and cover with
blankets.
Should coal oil or molasses bar
rels be handy, the grain may be fu-
migated in them in the open, apply
| ing the material at the same rate, as
above. After applying, cover the bar
rels with sacks weighted down with
boards. Prepare everything that is
necessary before fumigating

NOTES OF WOOD PASTOR FIELD.
Il. NJ. IIlrod Writes Briefly Of Work
in an Oconce Baptist Field. y

Editor Keowee Courier:
If you will kindly give me space
in your valued paper we will give
your readers few dots from the
Wood pastor field.
This field is composed of New
Hope, Wolf Stake and Pleasant
Ridge Baptist churches, and was or
ganized three years ago. A nice,
substantial parsonage was built and
q two-acre lot that was given to the
field by Mrs. e. P. Wood. The field
is named after her as a tribute to
her memory. Though she is dead,
she is still alive in our memory.
Rev. NJ. j. Stansell is our faithful
and much beloved pastor and has
occupied the parsonage ever since
the field was organized. He was the
pastor Of the above named churches
for two years before they were or
ganized into a field.
The friendly and loving spirit ex-
listing between the pastor and his
people is marked. Not word Of
discord has been spoken.
The field has adopted a constitu-
ton or bylaws for the government
Of the entire field, and this has been
proven to be splendid system cf
government The field has a board
OF deacons, which Is composed Of
the deacons of the three churches OF
the field. The board nominates the
pastor and suggests the salary for
his services. This action Of the field
board Of deacons is ratified by the
three churches.
Our worship together has been so
harmonious and helpful that we
would not think Of dissolving the
field and going back to the old way
Of doing business. -
Rev. Stansell has hold protracted
meetings in all the churches Of the
field this summer and baptized all
the candidates together. There were
forty added 10 the membership OF the
churches by baptism.
The board Of deacons met a few
Gays ago and endorsed his work and
secured his services for another
year.
If any churches wish to organize
field and desire copy Of our co1f
stitution we will be glad to furnish
q copy.
We take pleasure in recommends
ing friendly corporation between
churches In forming pastor fields, as
We believe it to be the surest way to
success. r.. NJ. Elrod.

SNYATcHNIEN DONE TO DEATH,
Shot, Stabbed and Clubbcd by Up-
known Men in Ambush.

| lSAT -. ~ AuS. oU.--- EuSSno
Feaster, of Bath, and j. Reedy
Booth, OF Aiken, were shot, stabbed
and dubbed 10 death by six or seven
mon about o'clock this morning
at The Southern railway shops at
Hamburg, where they had been en-
ployed rs night watchmen during tho
| shopmen's strike.
When the watchmen wero found,
about an hour after the attack, Feas-
| ter was dead, hut Booth was con-
scious and was able. to give some de-
tails Of the affair. He died "a few
hours later at The University hos
pital, Augusta, Ga. Fcaster's body
had been riddled with bullets from
rifle, pistols and shotgun. Three
balls from high powered rifle had
passed through his left side, and
there was deep cash in the right
shoulder, severing the collar bone
This wound appeared to have been
inflicted. with some bayonet-like in
strument.
Booth said that after he had been
shot through the thigh he feigned
death to escape the murderous shots
Of their assailants, who fired on Mr..
Feaster after he was down. Booth,
after falling from the shot, was bru-
tally kicked about tho face and neck,
the back Of his head being crushed
~ q c 1>lD
He attempted to crawl away from
the scene after the men had left and
had managed to make about twenty
yards when loss Of blood caused him
to stop where he was discovered by
Special Agent Britt and others. He
was Immediately rushed to Augusta
to hospital. 1t was thought at first
that he would survive, but, weak
ened by the. loss uf blood and the
terrible blow in the head, he died
at 9 o'clock.
One or two clues have been dis
covered, but SO far not much is
known Of the affair
About 4.30 a. III. two men walked
into the yard, and were followed by
the two night watchmen. They were
led outside'the yards a short dis
tance, where the four or FIVE other
men were waiting and were fired
upon with pistols, shotguns loaded
with buckshot. and rifles.
Eugene Feaster was "a years Of
age and formerly resided at Gran
! iteville. He is survived by wife
and ono small child. Mr.. Booth was
23N years Of age and young man of
quiet ways and sterling qualities.
He resided with his mother and ia
ther, Mr.. and Mrs. James Booth, on
upper Laurens street, in Aiken. He
was member Of the Aiken Post Of
the American Legion.
Coroncr's Jury Investigates.
A coroner's jury has Investigated
the killing, but no evidence has been
secured on which warrants can be
based Solicitor r. l.. Gunter, Of
Aiken, says that the authorities have
information which they are using as
clues, and that there Is some BROS
>pect Of securing the assassins. The
inquest was in progress over Feas-
ter's body when it became known
fthat Booth had died in the Augusta
hospital. Booths body was then car
ried from Augusta to Hamburg, and
the same jury which investigated as
to the F!easter killing sat in the case
Of Booth. The jury was able only to
pronounce that the Killings were the
act Of parties unknown.
