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."
Probably Futurist Music.?He was s
"reformed," old-fashioned countr:
newspaper editor that had found farm
ing a better paying industry than edit
ing, and he was discussing crops witl
a company of fellow farmers at tin
village grocery, says the Indianapolii
News.
"Well, Lem, I s'pose you're a reg'la
farmer now?been at it for 10 years,'
remarked one of the friends.
"Oh, I'm a farmer all right," sai<
Lem, "and I s'pose I'll always be one
but I tell you the smell o' printer's inl
is still music to my ears."
An Artist.?The family terror wa
entertaining the caller until his moth
er was suitably arrayed, according t
Judge.
"Sister Lou's young man is going t
be a painter," he remarked.
"A painter?" the caller asked.
"Uh-huh, I guess so," he replied
"Him and pa was in the library quit
a spell the other night, and I heard pi
tell him he'd need more of the blues
and he said it cost too much to draw.
Right Answer.?"What causes th
scarcity of money in this section?
asked the investigator.
"Well," replied Farmer Corntasse
"my guess is that it's partly due t
standin* around an' discussin' the higl
cost of livin' instead o' hustlin' to
coin."?Washington Star.
Some Consolation.?"There's on
consolation about being in jail, mum.
"What it it, my poor man?"
"After I once go to bed nobody her
akes me get up and go down to be sur
that the back door's locked."?Detroi
Free Press.
His Thirst.?Him?Why do yo
think he has a thirst for knowledge?

titled 'The Bartender's Guide' th<
other day."

young mosquito, "is not man muc
stronger than we?''
"He is," replied the fond parent, "bu

GRAIN AND LEGUMES
Demonstration Agent Blair Talks of
Wise Agriculture.
[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.

Terms and Conditions
THE CONTEST BEGINS NOW and will come to a close on SATURDAY,
MARCH 18TH, 1?16, at 6.00 P. M., SHARP.
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. Careful observance of this will be the means of avoiding much
trouble and confusion.
In case of a tie for either of the competitive premiums, TWO WEEKS will
be allowed for the working off of the tie.
After the close of the contest on SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1916, at 6 p. m.,
the price of a year's subscription will be $2.00, unless New Clubs are formed.
