fendant on His Charc cter and there
the Matter Ended.
Spartanburg, December 15.
-Charges were preferred in the
Methodist conference this morning

yesiding elder of the Rock Hill
district, by the stewards of Trinity
Station who alleged maladministra
tion and actions not becoming a
minister of the g6spel.
'There are two charges of two ar
Stiles each. The charges grew out
V of the holding of an election of dis

SHE STOLE A HUSBAND. a
ss Laura Percer, 22 Years Old, Elopes
with 17 Year Old.
t
.Charlotte Observer. . t
The usual order of things was re- a
versed last Sunday, when Miss
Laura, the 22-year-old daugh
ter .of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Percer, i
who live on North Caldwell street
extension, stole away with young 1
Ernest Tomberlin and married the,
youth. The youthful husband is
the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. James
Tomberlin, who are very wrathy
ver the matrimonial episode.
It is an interesting story. It
seems that Miss Percer and Tom
berlin had been spoony for some
time, but owing to the difference in
their ages, their friends did not re
gard the spell seriously. However,
Sunday morning Miss Percer, who
is the undisputed head of the fami
ly, took matters in her hand. She
secured a turnout, drove by for him
who was to become her younger
half, and hied away to the South
Carolina line. In the natural course
of events Squire Bailes received
his fee and pronounced his blessings
tpon the couple.
Upon their return the bride nat
urally took her husband to her par
ents' home, where they reside. It
is understood that the parents of
the husband have not yet let their
wrath cool and the young man has
not yet dared visit his people.
A married man seldom boasts that

Mr. Longworth was a member of
:he Taft party which recently made

ngrked. After the trip, Miss
Zoosevelt denied an engagement,
mt Mr. Longworth said not a word.

iously disappeared from the Union
:otton mills shortly after its reor

Prospects
We h ave many actual
photographs of cotton
neIds on which no fertilizers were
used and pictures of lields on which
"other makes" of fertilizers were
used. Results of these crops were
dismal failures. There are much
"brighter prospects" ahead for the
progressive farmers of the ~South.
Twyo and three bales to the acre are
only ordinary yields where
Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers
are used with proper cultivation.
Make your cotton mature early, and
thus escape the boll weevils and other
damaging insects. You can easily do
this, as well as increase the number
. of bolls (and their size) on your plants
'by plentifully using Virgia-Caro
-lina Fertilizers. This method will
