AMERICAN ESCAPES
FROM BANDIT, CLAIM
Pedro Zamora's Followers Reduced
From 500 to 20, Says
Gen. Estrada '
Mexico City, Sept. 7.-W. A. Gardi
ner, a citizen of the United States,
who was captured by Pedro Zamora,
the Jalisco bandit on August 20, at
Cualo, has escaped, according to offi
cial advices.
Gen. Enrique Estrada, commanding
government troops pursuing Zamora,
reported last evening to the War De
partment that he had been advised by
Major Hedia Del Puerto, commander
at Autlan, that an American Mac
Swiney, had arrived at Autlan and
asked for an escort to bring Gardiner
fro ma ranch some distance from
town.
It was stated that Gardiner took
refuge at this ranch following his
escape from the bandits during the
fight at Rancho Divisidero more than
a week ago. An escort was sent out
for Gardiner. Gen. Estrada added that
British Consul Holme, at Guadalajara,
had received a similar report. -Noth
ing is known as to the wheerabouts
of Bertie C. Johnson, a British sub
ject, who Was a fellow captive of
Gardiner.
Gen. Estrada reported that Zamora,
on September 5, attempted to reach
the western coast through two moun
tain passes. Agua Blanca and Yerba
Duina, but encountered detachncnts
of government troops and fled in dis
order. lie lost several men and was
accompanied in his flignt by only a
handful of followers. Tt is asserted
that during the last fifteen (lays the
Zamora band has been reduced from
,bout 500 to 20 and there were bright
prospects for the annihilation of the
outlaws soon.
Gen. Estrada concluded his report
with an announcement that Co. Rojas,
with thirty-five members of Zamora's
band, have surrendered at Cihuatalan,
State of Jalisco.

WHAT OUR COUNTY
FARM[RS AR[ DOING
Mr. H. K. Beatson has a fine way to
get seed veivet beans. ie plants
beans all along his wire fences, the
beans grow all over the fence and do I
not lay on the ground, consequently
when the beans are ripe and ready to
pick it is an easy job to pick them,
just as easy as picking bunch beans.
This method avoids having to pick
your. seed beans in the field where
there is a heavy growth of bean vines
and corn. This is just another way a
good wire fence is very useful.
Mr. J. V. Carrigan of Sumnierton
says paint is cheaper than new farm
machinery. Every year Mr. Carrigan
has all his farm machinery painted.
Most people know that .nore farm ma
chinery is rusted out than worn out
and by painting your machinery every
year you give the rust no chance to
do its deadly work. Mr. Farmer what
would you say if some evening you
come home in a rain storm and find
that your wife had parked her sewing
machine under a tree in the front
yard ? You would think it was going
most too far, wouldn't you? Sure,
and what is the difference between a
sqving machine and a plow, or mower
or binder or disc harrow? None of.
them were made to use in the rain.
So why not keep your machine in a
shed and save money by doing it. Mr.
Carrigan has just finished building an
addition to his machinery shed and
now he has enough room to store all
his farm machinery.
Don't forget about the State 'air to
be held at Columbia from October
25th to 29th. It is time right now to
put some of the best specimans of
your crops in a place where rats and
mice cannot get at them and then send
them to the fair. I have a number of
copies of Premium Lists at my office
for distribution to all who will make
entries at the fair. Clarendon should
have a better display of her farm pro
ducts at Columbia than she had last
year. Let the whole state know what
is doing here in Clarendon.
I have a price of 65 cents quoted to
nip an .Carnet Grass seed. This is
about as lov a price as this seed can
be bought as the supply is somewhat
limited and the demand for this rela
tively new grass is growing every
year. Therd is a great deal of land in
Clarendon that should be planted in
Carpet grass and now is the time to
start. All persons wanting Carpet
grass seed at this price send your or
der to me within the next ten (lays.
Have you thought about or planned
to grow any cover crops this winter?
You should grow cover crops for your
lands sake as well as for your live
stock. A cover crop will also prevent
soil washing and when plowed under
will add a great amount of humus to
I the soil. A leguminous cover crop
will also add nitrogen to the soil. As
Nitrate of Soda is higher this year
than it was last year planting a
legum inous Winter cover crop such as
flairy vetch, Crimson clover, Burr
clover, etc.. will save you(I money ol
your soda bill.
I attended a meeting al Florence on
Tuesday at which was organized a
truckers association. Farmers from
all the Pee Dee section of the state
were invited and] there were about
'eventy-five present. This associa
tion has for its object the marketing
of truck crops grown in the Pee Dee
section. Of course it will take a few
years to get the proper connections
and to get the association functioning
in a manner similar to the large co
operative marketing association of to
(lay, but it can be done. What is need
ed nowv is for' every trucker or Irish
potato or~ swecd potato growecr to get
in behind this organization andt push5~.
Every county is to have its own com
mittee. This committee wvill then
notify the central oflice which will be
at Florence whenever there are any
crops readly for shipment. The cen..
tral ofilce will then get a buyer or find
a market for that prodluce. A small
association marketed their Irish pota
toes in Florence County this year ini
that manner and had very good re
sults. Lets get together in Clarendon
andl become a branch of this organiza
tion.

County Agent.

A CARD
To the Voters of Clarendon County:
I have been hearing of reports being
circulated on me for sonic time, and
have not been paying any attention to
this slander, but as they are being
multiplied, patience ceases to be a
virtue. I do not believe that the peo
ple will pay any attention to this
slander on me, as I believe they will
knowv that it is campaign lies and is
being circulated by people who are
now getting desperate, however, in
justice to me and for fair play, I want
to ask you who are my friends, when
you hear any one telling these sland
ers on me, ask two witnesses to hear
him repeat the slander and give me
the name of the party and the witness
es, and please remember that where a
party who repeats a slander for the
purpose of injuring another only are
just as guilty as the party who first
told it.
I want to ask you not to believe any
reports you hear about me for all the
slander that I have been hearing told
on me is nothing more than rotten
campaign lies, and being told to in
jure me.
I ask you all to go to the election on
next Tuesday September 14, and cast
your vote for your choice for Sheriff.
I led the ticket by a large vote in
the first Primary and I believe I will
be elected your Sheriff on next Tues
(lay by a large vote.
I want you to urge all the votes to
go and cast their vote and make my
majority as large as possible, every
voter Can lay aside his work on next
Tuesday long enough to go and vot.e
and for the sake of good citizenship
do so.
I hope to round up the slanderers
and if you will just give me the names
of the parties and the witnesses I will
do it.
Again. thanking you for the hand
some vote you gave me in the first
Primary and thanking you all in ad
vance for the votes you will roll up
for me next Tuesday.
I am, yours very truly,
J. Edward Gamble.
