Harry Monroe Man in Court and Jail After telling the judge that he would come back worse after serving a sentence, following an expression of the court to the prisoner that he hoped he would come back from prison a better man, Harry .Monroe, white, sentenced for breaking into the city high school and Arant's store and who was serving a chaingang sentence for mutilating the jail, indicated that he meant what he said by giving an exhibition of being worse before he left to serve his time. This exhibition was given in | the county jail Wednesday night when he became rampant, broke locks and defaced jail property so that a locksmith was necessary to get the jail room door open Thursday ? ?v.;tv. morning, rne exmumuu wuocu mu? to get four additional years to his sentences, and now he has to serve six years instead of two. Nor did this jail exhibition Wednesday night end his demonstrations. Monroe gave another demonstration Friday morning when Deputy Sheriff J. W. Gillam went to the jail to get him to turn him over to the penitentiary guards who, under a new law, had to carry him to the pen. Mr. Gillam walked to the bars of the room in which was Monroe and told the prisoner through the bars, the door being, locked, to get ready to go to Columbia. With an oath Monroe \ said he would not go until he got his ' clothes. "Where are your clothes?" asked the deputy sheriff. ''At the chaingang'"', answered the prisoner. A ~?v. >' "Then you can i get mem , sponded Mr. Gillam. As this repsonse came from the deputy sheriff, Monroe caught the bottom end of one leg of his trousers he had on and tore them from the bottom to the top and immediately did the same thing with the other leg. The deputy sheriff then requested , the jailor to give, him a suit of overalls. This Monroe said he would not wear, but when Mr. Gillam looked him in the eye and cautioned him not1 to repeat his first performance he put on- the overalls with no more ado. He was then handcuffed and chained to Paul Gibson, Norway youth sent up for 15 years for burglary and larceny, and the two went on to Columbia with the guards on the Carolina ( Special. Monroe plead guilty to housebreaking and larceny in court last . week on the charge of breaking into , * Arant's store June 26, last, and stealing about $500 worth of clothing and for this was sentenced to one year. Following his "cutting up" and his promise to "come back worse" this , sentence was this week increased to five years in the penitentiary. On I Wednesday he was found guilty of housebreaking, having been charged with housebreaking and larceny in connection with the breaking into the city high school last June and stealing of a typewriter. When court opened this session ( Monroe was serving a term on the county chaingang "for mutilating the jail, the mutilation occurring while he was locked in the county prison f on Jhe charge of breaking into Arant's and the school building. Hen- I, ry Rowell, white, is indicted along j with Monroe in connection with the j schoolhouse robbery, but is at large. ' In the sentences of Monroe the J ( court inserted a clause that the sentence is to commence immediately and that such is in the interest of the ' public welfare. ? Times and Democrat, Sept. 30. , NEGRO LYNCHED 1 1 Had Been Rescued Twice Before From Mobs. Macon, Ga., Sept. 28.?Jim Johnson, who was lynched in Johnson county today, is known as Jim Drys- i dom and is the same negro who was brought to the county jail here last May for safekeeping. He had been rescued from mobs on two occasions, it was stated. Drysdom, a farmhand employed by ? m-Aminont -Tnhnsnn eountV\farmer. a pi VUliMVMV w w? -w v attacked the daughter of his eployer, while she was cutting yard brooms -near a branch last spring. In the struggle the woman slashed the negro across the face with a butcher knife. The negro then poured gasoline over the woman's clothing and set her on fire. She jumped into the stream, nearby, however, and extinguished the flames. The woman's little child, who was with her, was not harmed. The hunt for the negro lasted for several days, and after arrests had been made the jail was about to be j stormed when officers rushed the accused negro to thi9 city. Later he was transferred to Wrightsville, Ga., where again it was necessary to transfer him to Sandersville, Ga. The grand jury which met at Wrightsville began an investigation of the lvnching this afternoon. / Crop Rotation for This Section of State (Calhoun, Orangeburg, Barnwell, Allendale, Bamberg, Dorchester, Colleton, Hampton, Jasper, Beaufort, Charleston, Berkeley.) Xo. 1.?Three-Year Rotation. First year. ? Corn and velvet beans or soy beans or cowpeas." Second year.?Small grains, followed by peas, peanuts, sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes or sorghum. Third year.?Cotton followed by a cover crop,?rye and vetch, oats and vetch. Explanation.?If velvet beans are planted in the corn they will need nasturina down early for the seeding of oats. "Velvet beans may be left in the field for fall and winter pasture and followed in the spring by truck, peanuts, sorghum, or potatoes, etc. In case the cotton doe9 not make large vegetable growth, the small grain may be seeded between the cotton middles and corn planted the third year, just reversing the rotation. This is often the case on the deeper, poorer sandy soils. Special note by Prof. A. F. Conradi, State Entomologist.? Rotation No. 1 can be used with safety on soils which have been brought to a high state of fertility and have a large amount of organic matter and a high water holding capacity on account of the wire worm. On poor sandy soils rotation No. 2 or No. 3 should be used instead of No. 1. No. 3.?Two-year Rotation. First year. ? Corn and velvet beans. Second year.?Cotton or truck or potatoes or sorghum or peanuts or soy beans as money crops, followed by cover crops to plow under for corn. Explanation.?This is an excellent soil improvement rotation in which one of several money crops may be * ? - * ? j grown in rotation witn ieea ana roou crops and rapidly build up a soil that is low in humus and that has 1 previously needed the use of large amounts of expensive nitrogenous fertilizers for the production of' crops. No. 3.?Three-year Rotation. First year.? Corn and velvet beans or soy beans or cowpeas. Second year. ? Irish potatoes, 1 sweet potatoes, truck, sorghum or peanuts, melons followed by rye as 1 cover crop to be plowed under early i for cotton. # Third year.?Cotton or truck or po- ' tatoes or soy beans followed by cover crop. Under boll weevil conditions there is an increasing tendency to decrease the cotton acreage and to increase the production of truck, peanuts, and sorghum. Ribbon cane and alfalfa are both good crops on some soils and loca- 1 tions in the southern part of the state; but they' are both usually 1 grown independent of any rotation. The cotton stalks should be plowed under as early as possible after picking and the field seeded to a winter cover crop. This will aid materially in the control of the boll weevil and at the same time assist in improving ( the soil. Note. ? Where intensive truck farming is practical near the coast of South Carolina, no definite crop rotation can be adhered to, but rather a succession of quickly maturing | truck crops is used, depending on the seasons and the market conditions. For example, lettuce may be planted ; about January 1, harvested March 15 to April 1, followed by beans March ] 1 in middles between lettuce rows. 1 This may be followed by bush beans j for market or Brabham or Iron cow peas for plowing under. If tomatoes are set out April 1, by J July 1 the soil may be prepared for a < late summer legume catch crop or a late corn crop and this in turn pre- ' pared in fall for winter and early spring truck crops. With the present higli prices of 1 vetch and clover seeds, we can use : the Oregon spring vetch instead of hairy vetch in South Carolina. Plantin o- votoh r.r Mnvpr in a nart of the rye or oats following cotton is suggested also to see if it can be told < where they were planted, in the comparative effect on the corn, potatoes, or whatever crop follows next spring. ?Clemson College Bulletin No. 40. , Under Advisement. "A newly elected squire in Wisconsin", savs a western lawyer, "was < much elated by his honors, but was ' not sure that he could carry them gracefully. So he haunted the court- i house to gather stray crumbs of wisdom from higher courts which sat j there. 1 <'One day he sat in judgment on his first case, and when the testimony was all in and the argument 1 made, he announced: "The court takes this case under < advisement until Wednesday morning next, when he will render a verdict in favor of the plaintiff." DREAMS OP THE AIR. Monster Dirigibles Tliat May Some Day Cross Atlantic. Will the air over the Atlantic shortly be roaring with giant floating palaces capable of making the trans-Atlantic flight in 60 hours? asks a Berlin correspondent. Some enthusiasts, who claim definite plans are under consideration for the monster trans-Atlantic air liners, are described in other quarters as mere "pipe-dreamers", dealing in just ordinary "castles in the air". The proposed ships would each have a gas capacity of 110,000 to 150,060 cubic meters. They would tear through the clouds at the rate of 140 miles an hour, unless there was no urgent demand for speed, in which case they would slow down to 100 miles. Such a vessel would be 275 meters long, 35 meters wide and 39 meters high from the top of the gas bag to the bottom of the body. The power would be provided by five motors of 800 horsepower each. Its carrying capacity would be 90,000 kilograms, of which 40,000 would be required for fuel, food, etc., the remainder being for mails and passengers. The estimated passenger accommodations would allow for 100 fares in adition to a crew of 50. The mammoth airships would be equipped with all possible comforts and conveniences, resembling in comfort the great ocean steamships now in service. German gossip on the aerial possibilities of the near future does not rest, however, with the passage over the Atlantic. A prophecy is made that many years will not pass before tha United States will have inaugurated a service between her.mainland and the islands she now holds in the T* A. r ar .EiasL. A Devout Oriental. While on a special mission to the United States, a Persian official was entertained by a wealthy American, who invited the Oriental to his country place near the national capital. On the morning of the Persian's arrival his host visited him in his apartment and was astonished, so/ the story runs, to se the Persian hopping about the floor in the most curious way. The host ventured to ask the reason for this extraordinary conduct; whereupon the Persian said: "This rug is, as you see, green in color, with pink roses here and there. Now, green is a sacred color with Persians, so I am obliged to hop from rose to rose. It is very good exercise, but somewhat fatiguing." ; Consolation. Private George Washington Lincoln Botts held all laurels at being the laziest darkey in the Umptysteenth Stevedores. His idea of work was that it was something that wasn't done and his idea of real life was a continuous round of food. But nne dav at mess he didn't raise a howl. "Lawsy me!" he bellowed. "Ah's done swallered a worm." "Swallered a worm, is yo'?" demanded hi'9 top sergeant in deep disgust. "Cheer up, big boy, mebbe dat'll put some new life in yo'."
