tumorous department The "Burglar" and the Cop.?There was a noise somewhere in the direction of the first floor and mother arose upon her elbow and looked at the clock, says the Washington Star. She saw it was 2 o'clock a. m., and noise downstairs at that hour meant but one thing. "Daughter," she called. softly, "Daughter." "Whaza matter." replied daughter. a Hurvrinr downstairs." Daughter immediately found hersell wide awake and standing upright by her bedside. "Hear it," said mother. There was a peculiar cracking and groaning. The two women tiptoed to an open window, and on looking outside they saw a man lying in their hammock. The creaking and groaning was the noise of the hammock as it swung to and fro slightly. No, there were no male protectors in the house at the time and mother and daughter were left to become their own board of strategy. Mother thereupon decided to tiptoe downstairs and telephone the police. "No, no," pleaded daughter, clinging to the other woman; "the telephone is right by the window of the dining room and the burglar will see you and shoot you. Please don't go." "Well," replied mother, "I will lean out this window waiting for a policeman to go by and will call him, and then when I get tired you lean out." So mother proceeded to wrap herself up In window-leaning robes, and leaned. She had not been leaning there very long when a fine specimen of a policeman came trudging around the corner.of the house. "Hey, there!" called mother; "you're just the man I want to see." The policeman was pome ana auditive, and mother continued: "A man is asleep in our hammock and has been there for a long time." Whereupon the guardian of the peace yawned and replied: "Don't worry, madam; that was me." Fatal Either Way.?A rather turgid orator noted for his verbosity and heaviness, was once assigned to do some campaigning in a mining camp in the mountains, says the Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. There were about 50 miners present when he began, but when at the end of a couple of hours he gave no sign of finishing, his listeners one by one dropped away. Finally, there was only one auditor left, a dilapidated, weary-looking old fellow. Fixing his gaze on him, the orator pulled out a large six-shooter and laid it on the table. The old fellow rose slowly and drawled out: "Be you going to shoot if I go?" "You bet I am," replied the speaker. "I'm bound to finish my speech, even if I have to shoot to keep an audience." The old fellow sighed in a tired manner and edged slowly away, saying as he did so: "Well, shoot if you want to. I may Jest as well be shot as talked to ? Roped and Tied.?The men engaged in cutting off the ends of protruding ties on the elevated railway were explicitly instructed, for the sake of innocent passersby on the street below, never to allow a piece of tie to fall to the street without a rope attached to it, says the New York Evening Post. One day as the end of a tie wai sawed off, the man on the job threw the rope, tie and all into the street. "Hy, there, what er you doin'!* yelled an indignant foreman. "Ye told me not to let anything drop to the street without a rope attached," rejoined the man in a surlj tone. Well, ain't I obeyin* orders?" A Reasonable Advance!?There is s young author in Baltimore who is determined to achieve fame in the writing line if it takes his whole life, says Harper's Magazine. Accordingly, h< is even willing to defray the cost ol putting on the market the numerous novels he writes from year to year. On the occasion of his last visit t< his publisher, however, he was somewhat vexed, a rather unusual thing for him. "Why," asked he, "do you chargs me more this time than before?" "Well," said the publisher, with th< utmost frankness, "the compositors were constantly falling asleep ovei your last novel."

[For The Yorkville Enquirer.] Sow legumes to feed the soil and i wheat and oats to feed you. Why should we sow legumes? We , should sow legumes to add nitrogen (one of the most valuable of all plant foods), to add humus, a thing which all soils need to help hold moisture ' and digest the plant food that we apply in the form of commercial fertilizers. I have not seen a single farm - J er who has sowed legumes anu iuiI lowed same with corn, who has been i sorry of the fact that he sowed same; but I have seen them sorry of the fact that he did not sow more. I have not seen a piece of corn this i year (where it was planted after a legume), but that the yield was increased from one-third to one-half and with less fertilizers of a much cheaper quality than would have been used on clean cultivated land. A crop of crimson clover that will cut three-fourths of a ton of hay to the acre, if turned under, will add between six and seven dollars' worth of available plant food to the soil?pretty cheap fertilizer for one and onehalf dollars worth of seed, the amount that it takes to sow one acre. A crop of hairy vetch that will cut three-fourths of a ton of hay per acre will add to the soil between $10 and $11 worth of available plant food per acre. I don't mean to say that a man should try to sow his entire farm to cover crops, as this would be a high priced experiment in case his cover crop made a poor growth; but every farmer should try to sow a part of his crop to see the benefits derived from same. Where land has never been sown to clover or vetch, one must be sure never to sow such land without inoculating i his seed. There will be more legumes sown this year than heretofore, as I i have had more than double the requests for inoculating material than ever before. I am especially anxious that every boy who intends to plant an acre of , corn next year, insist upon his father to eet for him fifteen pounds of crim ! son clover seed to sow on his acre, i and request me to have enough inoculation sent him (free) to inoculate his , seed. In every case this year where a boy I has his acre planted on clover sod, he is making better and cheaper corn and hurting his land less than the boy [ who has his corn planted on clean , cultivated land. Now, as to the wheat and oat proposition: Let us not allow this 12c cotton to make us forget to sow enough for home consumption at least. Because cotton is now selling for 12 cents, there is no guarantee that it will sell for 12 cents next year. If one had told you in the fall of 1913 that [ cotton would sell for 7 cents in 1914, you would not have believed him; but it sold at that figure, anyway, i This year taught the farmers of , York county that they could raise a living at home and had it not been for the back debts of 1914, they would I be in as good shape this fall as ever , before, regardless of the war. I am not insisting upon anyone sowing all oats and wheat, as this , would make an unbalanced agricul, ture, and this we do not want; but , our county, state and nation depends . upon a well balanced agriculture. If we raise too much of any one , thing, the market will not justify a p fair price. Therefore, let us sow what wheat and oats we need for home con sumption; then if we get 7 cents for our cotton, we will still have a living , and if we get 12 cents, we will have . some money. r The cry last fall, when we were sowing a large acreage 10 wneai ana oats, was: how are we going to get t rid of the crop? So far, I have not . heard of anyone that has more than he . knows what to do with. } In sowing wheat and oats it has > been my experience, when sowing f early in the "open furrow," that one 3 should never sow more than threefourths of a bushel of wheat or one j and one-half bushels of oats per acre. . The better the land the less you should ? use, especially oats. I also find that oats make a much better yield where ? the land is thoroughly broken and prepared before sowing, and fertilized ? at the rate of at least 200 pounds of 3 something like standard fertilizer per r acre when sowing and from 50 to 75 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre in March. The same will hold true in wheat except it will do with less preparation before sowing than will oats. Yours truly, ~ J. R. Blair. e BRIEF HISTORY OF FORT MILL 3 Oldest Inhabitant Writes Sketch oi ^ York County Town. Mr. T. D. Faulkner of Fort Mill, is the author of the following sketch oi * that town which appeared in the current issue of the Fort Mill Times: * Editor The Times: While sitting or my front porch Saturday the though! occurred to me that as I was the oldes! s and one of the first settlers of the - town of Fort Mill, I would undertake o to write you a brief history of the place. o The first dwelling erected in Fori Mill was built by Mr. Owen Matthews at the south side of the present I. E. W. Kimbrell Co.'s store. This e building was erected in 1857 for s a boarding house, and was afterwarc >, used as a hotel by the late S. Hotch" kiss until his death. The first business house stood where the store of R. F e Grier is now located, and was built bj " W. E. White. This building was firsi occupied by the firm of Bernhardt I, Coltharp & Mauney as merchants o Coltharp died about 1853, and his into terest was taken over by J. M. Powr ell, who was then railroad agent. A brother of Mr. Powell, B. F. Powell came to Fort Mill from Ebenezer, anc e took the railroad agency. The mer" cantile firm name was then changet to Mauney, Powell & Co. In latei e years the old store building was sole e to J. T. J. Hf rris and rebuilt as i t dwelling, the same now standing at th< intersection of Booth and Rock] streets and occupied by Mr. J. F u Lytle. The next store house was bull " across the street from R. F. Grieri i present stand and was occupied foi three or four years by Morrow <S Potts. The next buildinp to po up wai e the wagon shop of Culp Bros., whicl h occupied a site about where the Stew art buildinp stands on the south sid< t of Main street. Morrow & Potts hav - inp pone out of business, the buildinf occupied by the firm was then usee as a residence by B. F. Powell until 1868, when It was burned, together with Culp Bros', wagon shop. The members of the Culp firm were W. J. and T. G. Culp, and the night of the fire W. J. Culp became overheated and caught a deep cold and never afterwards spoke above a whisper. The third store house was built by Capt. J. D. White, who was raised one and nno.hnif miles west of Doby's bridge, on a place now owed by J. W. Ardrey. This building was two stories high, the top story being occupied by the Sons of Temperance. This building was later sold to R. A. Young, who moved it to a point below McElhaney's stables and used it as a tanyard house. It was later sold to T. B. Withers and again moved to a lot on Confederate street, near the present home of S. A. Eppa and is now owned by Alex Barber. The first residence was built by Dr. B. M. Cobb, occupying the corner lot at the head of Main street, now owned by T. A. Mills, and was torn away some years ago. The second dwelling was built by B. J. Patterson where the Methodist parsonage now stands and the third residence was built by W. J. Culp on the site on Booth street now occupied by the home of Dr. T. S. Kirkpatrlck. This house, which was moved some years ago to the east side of the street, is very sacred to me, as it was here that I was married. The railroad was built through Fort Mill in 1851. The town got its name from an old Indian fort near the Spratt homestead and the old Webb mill, two miles east of town. The population of Fort Mill at the time which I write was about 15. It is now above 1,800. I am now nearing my 81st birthday. T. D. Faulkner. GENERAL NEWS NOTES Items of Interest Gathered from All Around the World. mvia first onnw of the season fell at Deadwood, S.

Each Clubmaker will be held individually responsible for the payment of the amount due on all names returned by him or her. Where it is desired to discontinue a subscription before the close of the contest, the Clubmaker may do so by paying the amount due at the time of such discontinuance. When a subscription has been paid In full, It cannot be discontinued. The Clubmaker however may, if he sees proper, transfer the unfulfilled portion of the subscrlption to another subscriber, provided the person to whom the transfer's to be made was not a subscriber at the time the original name was entered on our books. No name will be counted in competition for a premium until the subscription price has been paid, nor will any premium be delivered until the Clubmaker has either paid or made satisfactory settlement for all the names on the Club. _ In case of contention by two or more Clubmakers over the right to a * name, preference will be given to the one who pays for the name FIRST; but where both pay, we shall not attempt to decide the matter except by crediting the name for one year for each such payment. After a name has been entered on our books, no transfer will be permitted. This is positive and emphatic nd where Clubmakers attempt to make such transfers, they must concede our right to take such steps as may seem necessary to protect the fairness of this provision. The Clubmaker who returns names must pay for them. Clubmakers who try to return and pay for names already regularly returned Dy otners win De caueo aown, especially ? there is evidence of an understanding between the Clubmakers. This is not for the protection of the publishers; but as a guarantee of the fairness of the competition. Any and all Clubmakers will have the right to Get Subscribers Wherever They Can. It is not necessary that all the names shall go to the same postof- ' [ice. The fact that a name was returned on a certain club last year does not give that Clubmaker a right to return it this year. All subscriptions must be forwarded to us at the expense of those sending them, and we will be responsible for the safe transmission of money only when It is sent by Draft, Registered Letter, Express or Postofllce Money Order. In sending the names, Always give correct names or initials, and present postofllce address, and if possible say whether the subscribers are NOW taking > the paper.
