The improvement in method!
of farming in this section during
the lajt ten years has been won
derful. This w ill be noticed or
the.farm of Mr. J. F. Egertor
two miles east of town as mucl
as on any farm in the count}
perhaps. Twelve years ago his
farm made three bales ol cottoi
and about one hundred bushel;
of corn, and he found it necess
ary to rent land to help pay ex
penses. This same farm now
produces over one hundred bale:
of cotton and about twelve hun
dred bushels of corn per year
Mr. Agerton has a field of corr
containing two and a half acre:
which he expects to yield abou
one hundred and twenty-fiv<
bushels per acre this year. Thii
corn is on that same sandy lane
that was so poor twelve year
ago that a rabbit had to earn
his rations when travhng acros
it. About eighteen dollars wortl
jr of mmmMflifll fertilize? to thl
acre was used this year and tin
land was broadcasted with scrap
ings from the gin yard. He es
timates that the corn will cos
about teirty cents per bushel b:
the time it is in the crib. Tin
corn is six and eight inche:
apart in rows five feet wide, ant
it is green to the bottom.
This is not the onlv fnrrr
where there has been improve
ment, but it shows what is beinf
done in this section of the "sane
hills." A section once knowi
as one of the poorest in the state
has become one of the bes
agricultural communities in tht
South, and the price of the lane
has jumped from tw > or three
dollars an acre to thirty, forty
fifty and on up. Persons whe:
formerly lived here but whe
have been away for ten 01
twelve years can hardly believe
their eys when they see vvha
has been done at the old Fo?
place and in the country round
about.

Sweated Out the" Money
lonroe Journal
Sunday morning officer Gilford
Fowler did a nice little piece
>f detective work. Richard Perkins,
a blacksmith, was at the '
tation early to take the train for
Wadesboro. He had on his peron
a large pocketbook conaining
$95 in bills of $1 deuomilation
and a check for $225. He
ost the puise before boarding
he train.
Richard discovered his loss at
Wadesboro and immediately
vired the officers to be on the
ookout, and returned on the 10
yclock train. Officer Fowler
net him at the station and began
:he hunt of the missing purse.
\iter inquiring, he discovered
[nai one James Austin C. Davis,
1 negro noted in Mpnroe for his
inability to hold a steady job,
lad been seen at the station
early that morning. In a few
minutes James was seen approaching
the station, apparently
intending to catch the Charlotte
irain, and Officer Fowler beckoned
him over. On approaching
him, the negro gave a startled
glance and looked like he
wanted to run. Ms. Fowler
grabbed him and demanded
Rich's money. James hesitated
only a second, and then began
pulling the money out of every
conceivable place on his person
?out of all his pockets, shirt,
socks and shoes, came the
greenbacks?$91 in all. A loan
of a few dollars to a friend had
been effected by him, and breakfast
purchased. The pocketbook
was at his boarding house
and the check had been thrown
away. James was jjiven fifty
lays.

fighting Behind The Curtains
London, Aug. 18.?The Daily
Efxpress says:
"There is little doubt that a
gjreal battle is now oc curing in
Belgium between the Germans
ajnd the Belgian and
French allies.
J "Our correspondent, in a cryptic
dispatch from Ghent, indicates
that the Germans are advancing
on the historic battle
ground of Waterloo, and that
events of the greatest importance
are in progress.'
A Brussels dispatch to The
Daily Mail says: "Sharp fighting
has been in progress since Monday
morning."
Paris, Aug. 17.?An official
statement tonight says:
"The situation continues good.
We are making progress in upper
Alsace. The German forces
are retiring in great disorder,
some tow ards the north, others
towards the east.
"This is proved by the enormous
amount of shells, wagons
and provisions abandoned. The
Germans also lost more heavily
in this region than we at first
thought. This is proved by the
number of bodies found,
" Hie Russian- army is now
iiion nig forward for an offensive
blow, the result of which will
soon be felt. Already in Galicia
Russian cavalry has crossed the
frontier and Austrian cavalry
and infantry have been routed
while other battalions have turned
tail.
"Germany is being put on the
defensive, and it is impossible to
the conclusion that lier position
at the front is not all that could
be de-sired at such a crucial time
in .her history."
