revealed in the testimony of Mr. anu
Mrs William C. FAIRIES, the only wit
nesses called, is based largely upon
the contention that the Taylors were
armed and had threatened the lives
of FAIRIES and his wife. About a week
nrior to the killing, Mrs. FAIRIES tes-
tilted. she had seen Newton Taylor
with q little rife. The night following
the visit of a policeman to the Tay-
lor home at Mr.. Faries's request, MIS-
FAIRIES said she had been in her

to her to come out. "She said sne

Mr.. FAIRIES, who was in the door, that

One way to take the evil out OF

cotton stalks and other hibernating
places now.

If you really want to help Mrs

To too many farmers new idea Is
about as welcome as dose of poison.
There are less than ten fruit trees

Therefore, fruit is high.

of cotton and tobacco is not a mere
"gesture.

Too many farmers want a hardy"
dairy COW, meaning one that will
stand neglect, exposure, abuse, poor
feeding, and still produce we'll. There
amt no such animal.
Southern bankers are showing high
appreciation of the need of helping
farmers to market their products
more efficiently. They realize that

24O BALES ON 265 ACRES
Edgefield Farmers Experience Using
Liquid Poison.
(From the Southern Cultivator.)

(From the Southern Cultivator.)
While over in Edgefeld County
on the 28th we met Mr.. B. T. Boat
wright, Jr., who lives out few miles
from Johnston, S. G. We learned that
MIR. Boatwright had made wonder
full crop of cotton for this season, hav-
ing gathered 240 bales averaging 495
pounds, from 265 acres of land. We
asked Mr.. Boatwright how he had
succeeded in making this wonderful
yield, and he said, 'By using the
calcium arsenate and syrup mixture. .
We then asked him how he came to
try this method, and he replied, "On
account of endorsement given by D. R.
Coker of Hartsville, S. c." Mr.. Boat
wright used the simple method OF
putting on the poison with a bucket
and a little hand mop made by tying a
small handful of shredded shucks to
gether. During our conversation Mr..
Boatwright made this striking re-
mark. We were talking of the re-
lative merit of the dust and the
spray, and he said: "In using the
spray I am not dependent on wealth
er conditions and the fall Of the dew.
I kill the weevil before the dew falls,
meaning that the liquid poison acted
50 readily that he killed many wee
wills on the very day it was applied.
We found that many South Carolina
farmers had tried the syrup and cal
cium mixture, and everyone was loud
in its praise.

WINTER CARE OF BEES.

Clemson College, Nov. 2S.-t Is
time to put bees into winter packing
cases. In making these preparations
for winter care Of bees there are
three very important things to Do
remembered, says E. S. Provost Ex-
tension Specialist in Bee Keeping.
First. the packing cases should %
made of good seasoned lumber ana
the packing material should oe
thoroughly dry. Second, there should
bo q good queen that will be ready
for work early in the spring. Third
there should be sufficient amount
of good quality honey for winter
stores.
In regard to winter stores, pee
1ooners are cautioned that the sum-
mer and fall honey may crystailze
rapidly and bees can not use 1t TOT
food when in this condition. Tnere-
fore. where the honey has crystai-
1,zed. winter feeding must then Dc
done.
r. there is occasion to open the
hives at this time of the year, %
sure to select the warm portion OF
the 5av: otherwise, there is danger

Claude Johnson, relative of the Tay-
lors, who was one of the four killed
Taylor, who had been wounded by
Faries's fire and had recovered only
after treatment in Gastonla hopsltal,

she said. No one in the Taylor house,
she said had any "blue steel pistols. .
The story Of Faries's attempts to Sc
cure legal action against the Taylors
was told by R. E. Love, magistrate al
Glover and the states final witness.
Some weeks before the tragedy, the
MAGISTRATE said, FAIRIES came to him
and asked that the Taylors be put un-
der peace bond. "Faries said he had
seen some OF the Taylors sitting on
the porch, cleaning a blue steel pistol
for him." Mr.. Love said, "but he could
not furnish any evidence to show that
there had been any threats against his
life and 1 refused to grant his re-
Quest. He then told me, If there's NO
law for it, will make one; you neeo
not be surprised at anything you hear
Of me doing.'" Mr.. Love Identified a
number of buckshot taken from the
TAYLOR residence door and two shells
loaded with buckshot which he had
taken from Faries's double barreled
gun. The shells and buckshot we're

DeclaresNegroes
Loyal to Whites

Atlanta. Nov. 26.-Negroes are
just as loyal and friendly to the white
people now as were their ante-bel-
lum ancestors, DR.. R. R. Motion. presi--
dent of Tuskegee Institute, declared
today in opening good will tour Of
Georgia designed to promote better
relations between the races. g.
Speaking in the city auditorium,
to an audience of several thousand
persons, almost equally divided be-
tween white and colored, DR.. Motion
asserted that "the world hears much
Of the occasional clashes between the
races in the South but little of the
hundreds of cases of unusual and
helpful cooperation between blacks
and whites that take place daily in
every community in the South. The
time has now come when we should
emphasize the thousands Of good
things that are happening right here
in Atlanta, in Georgia, and through
out the South, rather than the oc-
casional bad things"
The president of the big negro
institution in Alabama asserted that
1--WE as negroes must not permit the
moral lapses here and there on the
part of a few thoughtless white peo-
pie who frequently misrepresent their
own race to befog those unmistakable
evidences of friendship and coopera-
tion on the part, not only Of the lead
ing white people but frequently of the
average white person as well.
Do Not Represent Race.
ION the other hand, we want to
ask the white people not to allow
the acts Of the comparatively few
ignorant criminal members Of my
race who humiliate and disgrace our
race to mar the good feeling that ex-
lists between us and to blind them
selves to the fact that whatever may
be said and done the negro believes
in the white race and earnestly asks
for just and fair cooperation"
The negro, Dr.. Motion continued,
"is willing to give himself to the
utmost in cooperation with the white
people to make the South all that it
is possible to become.
Sketching the remarkable pro-
gress his race has made in the last
half century, the speaker pleaded
for fair treatment for the negro.
'It is gratifying" he said. "to me-
that we hear little nowadays Of the
foolish question of social equality
being brought up to disturb the good
feeling on the part of both races to-
ward each other. When the negro
asks for better educational facilities,
ADEQUATE sanitary arrangements in
his part Of the city, good roads in his
part of the country, or equal rail-
road accommodation, he is not seek
ing social equality but he is asking
for civic justice to be treated on his
moral, intellectual and economic mer-
it's" .-...
Declaring that it is a question OF
"simple justice which is as 1mpor-
tant for the good of the white race
az it is for the good Of the black
race" DR.. Motion said that the white
race is not fair to itself when it is
unfair and unjust to weaker group
and the black race is not fair to itself
If il becomes embittered with hatred
for the white race.

we'll, testifying also to a meeting
some time before, when FAIRIES had
shown him an array of shells loaded
with buckshot and had told him that
he had seen one of the Taylors sit
ting on the front porch, cleaning
some "blue steel pistols" The buck
shot, FAIRIES told him, were lust as
good as blue steel pistols" "Faries
said he had bought the shot he had
been looking for" Perry testified,
"and l asked him where he got them,
but he would not tell me-" Perry
laughed. He also admitted that he
had heard Faris accuse the Taylor
children of splitting in the we'll, but,
Perry said, Ihe had never seen any of
the children spit in it. "They hung
around it good DEAL" was the only
admission to be obtained from him.
The we'll, he said, had been used by
everybody in the community and ne
could not say whether it was the pro-
perty of the mill company or not.
None of the Taylors was armed,
Perry said. He had known FAIRIES for
many years and had been an intimate
friend of the defendant for 25 years.
Doctor Saw Last Shot.
DR.. w. K. McGill, Glover physician,
attended the six wounded members OF
the Taylor family Immediately after
the shooting and had been an eye
witness to the killing Of Fred Taylor,
the last to be shot. A week before the
tragedy, DR.. :McGill said, he had been
called to the FAIRIES home to prescribe
for Mrs. FAIRIES who told him she
was nervous. FAIRIES at that time
had told him that the Taylor children
had been ''fussing with Mrs. Faries''
and that the Glover authorities had
been asked to do something about
it," Nothing had been done, FAIRIES
said.
"Faries told me-" DR.. McGill tes-
tilted, "that the did not know Whetn'
er it was due to the ignorance OF the
authorities or to the fact that they
| were afraid of the Taylors. I am not
| afraid of them FAIRIES boasted, and
7 intend to show them that I am
not" No weapons had been found
| anywhere near any of the fallen chill
dren, Dr.. McGill testified.
Viola Deas, a IA year old neighDor
was sitting on her front porch with a
baby in her lsp when the first sho'
was fired, she said, and she saw Far

Gives Test Early
StalkDestruction
Yorkville ENQUIRER.

Yorkville Enquirer.
Two Colleton county farmers have
proved the effectiveness of stalk
destruction against the ravages Of
the boil weevil. The benefits deriv-
ed from the simple practice this
season is reported as follows by
the Walterboro Press and Standard:
LAS further evidence Of the bene-
fits to be derived from the early
plowing in of cotton stalks as a
method of boil weevil control, the
experience of Messrs. I. N. and NJ.
I. Rizer, of the Ashton section of
the county is put in readable form
so that Colleton county farmers may
study and understand a few of the
simple practices which are proving
helpful to the farmers who are en-
ploying them.
believing that the best time to
start the fight on Mr.. B. Weevil was
during the early fall when he was
busy getting himself ready for his
winter hotel, the standing cotton
stalks, which furnished food until
frost and shelter during the cold
winter months. The practice was
carried out on the farm Of these
gentlemen generally, with the ex-
ception of one field some distance
from the main part Of their farm
holdings, on which stalks were left
standing until early spring, when 10
acres of this field was prepared and
planted to cotton. In order that a
comparison of results with stalks
destroyed and stalks not destroyed
might be had, Mr.. Marion Rizer,
manager of the farm, selected an
other field of nine acres with SINH
lar soil type, equal fertility and the
same cultural methods were employ
ed, except stalks were plowed in be-
fore frost in this field. In fact the
treatment Of the two fields considered
in the test were Identical with the
single exception of fall stalk destruc-
ton. Again believing that the best
time to attack an enemy is just be-
fore he goes to bed or just after he
gets up. Mr.. Rizer began to eaten
the 'weevils that appeared in the fields
early, and on the 10 acre field where
stalks had not been turned under in
the fall 1000 adult weevils were
caught before cotton began to square,
whereas on the nine acre field, in
which stalks had been plowed under
during the month Of October, only
165 weevils were caught at the same
period Of growth.
Results at the time Mr.. Rizer
gave out the data on this test, ne
had already picked from the nine
acre field six bales of cotton, while
on the 10 acre fieM he had only
picked three bales, and there was
not enough cotton remaining in the
fields to change the figures given
above"
Mr.. Rizer destroyed his stalks last
week, continues the Walterboro
newspaper, and asks other farmers
the challenging question, have you
destroyed yours yet? Will you be a
three-bale farmer next year or Will
you raise six bales to nine acres?
And then the Standard concludes:
While we cannot afford to con-
clude from this test that stalk de-
struction is going to make for us
crop of cotton, we are forced to be-
lieve that the practice is decidedly
beneficial and should be adopted by
every Colleton county cotton farmer.
