Of Agriculture.)
Farmers give much attention to va
rious combinations and rotations Of
crops, endeavoring to secure an ar
rangement that is most profitable for
each individual farm. They do the
same in selecting the kinds and num-
bers of live stock. But not SO much
attention Is paid to the selection Of
poultry to suit the peculiar conditions
of farms and neighborhoods. The hen
will always be the leader among farm
poultry, says the United States De-
ipartment Of Agriculture, but she re-
Quires the aid of turkeys, guineas,
geese and ducks, just as on dairy
farm the COW often requires the aid
OF pigs and sheep to make the farm
business most profitable.
Ducks Gather Food From Streams.
Where grain fields Of neighboring
farms are In proximity to the barn
and dooryard 1t would, perhaps, be
better not 10 keep turkeys. The farm
through which no streams run, and
which has no large pond, would prob
ably be better without ducks. But
the circumscribed farm, on which tur-
keys would be disadvantage, may
be supplied with a snail pool so To-
Gated that ducks would be profitable,
and the farm that has no streams and
ponds may have large range for tur-
keys.
Turkeys, ranging further afleld,
prey upon the insects that escape
the hens. From the time the poults
are old enough to forage until near
frost, they take the bulk of their feed
from field insects, deyouring millions
of grasshoppers and other injurious
worms that feed on crops. In regions
where wooded areas are still fairly
extensive mast Is an important item
in the diet of the turkey. When the
supply of insects begins to fail the
mast larder begins filling up. Feed
ing on acorrs, chestnuts. beechnuts
and the Ike, turkeys will go long
way toward fattening themselves for
the Thanksgiving or Christmas mar.
ket, and will not require much feed
ing OF corn or other grain to finish
them. Generally speaking. turkeys
will require larger feeding of grain
thnn chickens TO finish them for mar.
ket. but as they utilize forms of waste
that hens and their broods would not
reach, the keeping Of n few turkeys Is
good economy. The finishing period
Is short.
GuInea fowls use still other kinds

CIRCUIT COURT.


A considerable portion of the pre-
sert court term has been occupied
with the case of c. c. Ivy, admins
traitor estate of H. H. Young, deceas-
ed, late of West Point, Clay County
VS.. Isham Evans, Mrs. Lillian N.
EvGus and Num- & Co.
:. Young, an aged and wealthy
man of West Point, died last Decem-
Der. During his life he was a very
close friend of Mr.. Evans who was
at one time President of The Bank of
West Point and the Clay County Cot
ton Oil Co. 1t is said that Mr.. Evans
was the financial adviser of Mr..
Young who had implicit confidence in
him. Mr.. Young loaned Mr. Evans
and Num- & Co. large sums Of money
from time to time, approximately
seventy thousand dollars being the
amount involved in the present con-
troversy, represented bv the several
notes of tne joint defendants. In 1916
Mr.. Evans secured from Mr.. Young
contract or agreement giving the
defendants the option to divide the
aggregate indebtedness due by them
to Mr.. Young for any money bor-
rowed prior to that time or to be
thereafter borrowed into five eqisl
sums, for which their new notes were
to be given maturing in one, three,
four and five years. The defendants
in the case have rendered the five
new notes in conformity with this
alleged agreement to the Admins
TRAITOR with the demand that he ac-
cept them and surrender the old notes.
The Administrator, Mr.. Ivy, declin-
ed to do this and brought suits on
the original notes. The defendants
maintain that the suits ought to be
abated because payment has been Of
fered in the form of the renewal
notes maturing one, two, three four
ard five years, and they claim that
xercising their option under their
contract with Mr. Young, they have
a right to thus retire the original
notes. On, the other hand the Plain
tiff claims that the paper offered as a
contract by the Defendants, if con-
tract at all is entirely unilateral and
does not in any wise bind the defend
ants; that if it is contract it is
revocable and that it has been revok-
ed by the death of Mr.. Young and
also by his Administrator.
The pleadines in the case are null
titudinous Iand extremely technical
and the matter proceeds in very pro-
sale way to the layman; but the sub
stantial issue is: That. estate of
H. H. Young is suing Num- & CT. Is
ham Evans and Mrs. Lillian N.
Evans for. about $70.OOO.OO; the de-
fendants do not deny the Indebtedness
but claim the right to divide the ag-
gregate sum into five payments scat
tering the payments, over term of
five years. A jury was waived in the
case and it is being tried both as to
law and fact by Judge Carroll.
The attorneys for Mr.. Evans were
Jacobson & Brooks, the former pre-
senting the case in court. The
plaintiff was presented by Mr.. W. G.
Roberds of West Point.

MAY HAVE TO
FINISH LIFE SENTENCE
Jesse Valentine Whose Parole Ex-
pired September 1st May Have
to Serve Life Sentence.

Governor Harvey has asked the
Supervisor of Abbeville County for
a report on Jesse Valentine, whose
parole expired the first of Septem-
ter 1922.
Jesse Valentine and Henry Lind
~ were sent up for life from Abb
beville county in February 1913 by
i.;;.sc Prince on a charge of murder.
Henry Lindsay had his sentence
committed and has served his time.
Jesse escaped and went west where
he remained for a number of years,
finally returning to this county
where he was arrested at Calhoun
Falls. He claimed to have been shot
in a row out west and suffering from
a bullet imbedded near his heart.
He was then paroled in order to get
medical attention. His parole ex-
pired Sept. /, and as he had not re-
ported to Governor Harvey an in
vestigation was ordered.
DR.. Neuffer and DR.. j. R. Power,
of Abbeville, were asked to examine
the prisoner. They found on X-Ray
examination no bullet imbedded near
the heart as claimed. And Jesse Val
entine will probably be sent back to
the penitentiary to serve the re-
mainder Of his sentence, which Is
life. Henry Lindsay did the shooting:
and Jesse was present and implicat-
ed. Jesse escaped. Former Gov
Blease commuted Henry's sentence
If Jesse has to serve out his lifc
sentence this will bring out some o:
the queer twists Of justice.
