Ford coming slowly behind. AS
soon as the man saw them, he
gave the alarm; the driver of the
Ford quickly stopped and fled
headlong into the swamp. The
officers gave chase but he escap-
ed. They recognized him, how.
ever, as being DR.. E. H. Cham

COURTHOUSE SITE
tconslnusd from Front pass)

has a stable, thus giving the
county a street on each side of
the new courthouse site, and
probably opening other streets.
The county commissioners on
Wednesday met to receive bids
for erecting the new courthouse.
The plans of architect Hook call
for a splendid building, splendidly
equipped and conveniently ar
ranged "a building that will be a
credit to any county.in the South.
1t is to be of Indiana limestone
and about 102 by liz feet. Ten
contractors were present with
personal bids - these running
from $203,908 as the highest, to
$l77,450, the lowest. The five
commissioners carefully consid.
cred all bids, and finally awarded
the contract to John P. Little &
Son, of Charlotte, their bid of
SLIT, 450 having been the lowest.
And right here it is a source of
satisfaction to home folks to
know that native Richmond
county people have secured this
contract. The contract for the
heating will be awarded later.
When interviewed by the Post
Dispatch, Mr.. Hill Little stated
that his firm would begin at once
purchasing material, and that ex-
cavation for the building should
begin in the next two weeks. He
expects to have the courthouse
completed within a year.
On page three of this issue can
be seen a large map of Rocking
ham, showing where the present
courthouse is, where the new one
is to be and where the $265 front
foot 10, and 500 front lot is 10,
Gated; also, in the upper corner
can be seen where the new high |
building is located. This
map is worth saving.

Care of Seed Corn.

Clemson College, Nov. l4.-No
doubt many farmers have gone over
their fields this fall and carefully Sc
lected good seed corn for next years
planting. They should now be inter
ested to know how the corn can best
be cared for until planting time next
spring. P. H. Sem, Extension Plant
Breeding Specialist, makes the fol-
lowing suggestions on the subject:
Seed corn, before It is stored
away, should be thoroughly dry. If
it is stored damp it is likely to mold
or freeze. 1t should never be placed
in or about a damp place, such as
near a well or old cellar.
A good way to keep seed corn is
to place it in good tight boxes or
barrels. Flour and sugar barrels
make good containers. The barrels
should be placed where the air is dry
and circulates freely. Such place
is usually found in the barn loft.
Corn weevils, rats and mice are
the worst enemies of seed corn. Dam
age from these pests can be prevent
ed by properly storing and fumigat-
ing with a gas called carbon-bisul-
phide, which can be purchased at
drug stores in liquid form. A pint
can costs about forty cents and is
enough to fumigate about four bar
rels of corn.
After the barrels are in position
and the ears of corn have been plac-
ed carefully in them, pour about one
fourth of pint of the liquid carbon
bisulphid over the corn in each bar
rel. The liquid forms gas when it
comes in contact with the air, and it
is necessary that the barrel be tight
so that the gas will not leak out
through the cracks. Spread corn
sack over the top of the barrel and
on this place good board or tin GOV.
er. Weight down the cover with
heavy rock or brick so that the rats
and mice will be kept out. Pick q
clean warm day on which to do the
fumigating.
The gas can be used by any farmer
but there is one thing he must be
careful about. There must be no fire
near, not even lighted pipe, cigar
ette, or lantern, for the gas will ex.
plode on coming in contact with fire
Leave the corn in the barrels unit!
next spring, looking after it occa,
sionally to see that it is not being
disturbed.
