FORT MILL. S. C- APRIL 27. 1911.
Taken year in and year out, the South
is one of the most prosperous sections
of the country. It is the best section
to do business in and the best section
in wnich the law abiding, honest and
industrious American citizen can make
his home. It has a number of advantages
possessed by no other part of
the United States, by no means the
least important being the presence of
the negro. We say this because he is
the least of two evils, and keeps out
the greater. If he was not here the
low foreign element that is dumped into
this country would drift this way as
well as through the North and East.
The negro is easily managed and as a
rule makes an orderly citizen, except
when he goes on excursions, and then
his vicious tendencies are directed toward
the annihilation of his associates,
and no real harm results, even if he
makes considerable headway before he
can be stopped. There is one crime
for which his race has become notorious,
and its prevention is a problem for
the white people to solve. Its solution
may be foun^ in modern methods of
education; it may be found in exporting
such criminals to some cannibal island,
or in active efforts to kill thein off or
stop the breed. We do not like to
think about this black evil in our midst;
it makes the blood boil, and on occasions
causes fierce thoughts ot total
extermination to form themselves for a
moment in the white man's brain as a
just revenge for a single crime. But
there are good negroes, and they are
vastly in the majority. They make
the most efficient and reliable servants,
if vou don't praise them. As workers
with picks and shovels, or as steeldrivers
with switch-handle hammers,
they cannot be equaled by any race on
earth. As farm laborers they are as
good as the best. As a rule they are
improvident, but the number of property
holders among them is rapidly increasing.
The Southern railway has entered
upon a scheme for the improvement of
the wagon roads of the South in pursuance
to the policy of President Finley
to encourage the growth and development
of all territory tributary to the
Southern system. A good roads special
train will leave Mobile. Ala., shortly
for a tour of the South aud will make
frequent stops at points along the
Southern railway for the purpose of
building sample roads and arousing
interest among the people on the subject.
The aim is to educate the South
em people in practical road building
and to impress upon them the economy
and benefit to be derived from fine
roads. The train will carry all necessary
machinery for the building of good
roads and a corps of road experts.
Every parent who has a son knows
that at a certain tender age that boy
will try to learn to smoke. He will,
probably begin on corn silk, dried grape
leaves or "rabbit tobacco." But be
sure he will begin on something. These ,
things are dangerous. The writer read
a short time ago of two boys in a New
Jersey town who died after a peculiar
illness during which their mouths and
throats became so inflamed that medical
aid was of no avail. The attending
physician issued certificates gi^i.ig the
cause of death as blood poisoning, resulting
from smoking rcrn silk and
dried leaves of grape fines. The lads
who were ten and fourteen years old
were ill less than a week.
" Whether^you are a Methodist or not,
you can not help admiring and commending
the high standard of morality
and the strict devotion to pastoral
duties which the central body of that
church exacts of its ministers. Every
once in a while one reads in the news- j
papers of a Methodist minister being
expelled from the conference because j
of shortcomings which are tolerated by j
other Protestant denominations.
Live at Home.
Farming on-paper is always very
easy work, and the giving of advice is
also much easier than carrying into
execution that advice. This we realize ;
fully. But when a person learns from
observation sometning 01 conumuns
and how they can be improved we do
not think it is amiss to give the benefit
of the deductions gained by observation.
We undertake wherefore to
urge upon the farmers to pursue the
intensive system of fanning. Reduce
the number of acres and increase the
productive value of the land you do
plant. The large yields of cotton,
com and other products that it has
been found possible to produce upon
very ordinary land, after a system of
treatment for the enrichment of the
soil, has been a revelation. There is
no longer use to gather in so many
acres to make the crop of former
years. Scarcity of labor, as well as
the increased cost of living make it
necessary that something be done to
meet present day conditions. It has
been satisfactorily proved that the
surest way is the intensive system of
farming. Plant less land and make
that land produce more. Then plant
more food crops; raise more stock.
Live at home and have a surplus of
all farrh products to sell. Don't go on
making the mistake of planting almost
exclusively of cotton, and de- j
pending upon the receipts of that for
food supplies. That is just where you
give the other fellow the advantage.
You must have something to eat and
wear, and he knows it. But with your
cotton as a practical surplus, you can
sell when you please and put the money
in your pocket and keep it ^t home
?& jpfWd of sending it to other Sections
for their enrichment Live at irome. ?

A SUMMERLESS "SUMMER."
The year 1816 was known throughout
the United States and Europe as
the coldest ever experienced by any
person then living. There are persons
in northern New York who have beer,
in the habit of keeping diaries for years,
ar.d it is from the pages of an old diary
begun in 1810 and kept unbroken until
1840 that the following information regarding
this year without a summer
has been taken.
January was so mild that most peri
sons allowed their fire to go out and
did not burn wood except for cooking.
There were a few cold days, but they
wtre very few. Most of the time the
air was warm and springlike. February
was not cold. Some days were
colder than any in January, but the
weather was almost about the same.
March from the 1st to the 6th was
I inclined to be windy. It came in like
! n nn.nl! l./l.l nurl f /ill! 1 , n 1' /l 1" \ ,
a SIIICUI IIVI1 OIIU ?Triii vuv 11i\v u ivij
innocent sheep.
April came in warm, but as the days
became longer the air became colder,
and by the first of May there was a
temperature like that of winter, with
plenty of snow and ice. In May the
buds were frozen dead. Ice formed
half an inch thick on ponds and rivers.
Corn was killed and the- cornfields
were planted again and again, until it
became too late to raise a crop. By
the last of May in this climate the
trees are usually in leaf and birds and
flowers are plentiful. When the last
of May arrived in 1816 everything had
been killed by the cold.
June was the coldest month of roses
ever experienced in this latitude. Frost
and ice were as common as buttercups
usually are. Almost every green thing
j was killed; all fruit was destroyed.
' Snow fell ten inches deep in Vermont,
j There was a 7-inch fall in the interior
of New York State, and the same in
Massachusetts. There were only few
moderately warm days.
Everybody looked, longed and waited
for warm weather, but warm weather
did not come.
It was also dry; very little rain fell.
All summer long the wind blew steadily
from the north in blasts, laden with
snow and ice. Mothers knit socks of
double thickness lor their children, and
made thick mittens for their husbands.
Planting and shivering were done together,
and farmers who worked out
their tuxes on the the country roads
wore overcoats and mittens.
On June 17 there was a heavy fall of
snow. A Vermont farmei sent a flock
of sheep to pasture on June 16. The
morning of the 17th dawned with the
tnormomeier Deiuw irie ireezmg |iunu.
About nine o'clock in the morning the
owner of the sheep start*.(1 to look for
his llock. Before having home he
turned to his wile and said jokingly:
"Better start the neighbors soon; it
is the middle of June but 1 may get lost'
in the snow."
An hour after he had left home a
terrible snowstorm carne up. The snow
fell thick and fast, and as there was
so much wind the fleecy masses piled
in great drifts along the windward
side of the fences and outhouses. Night
came and the farmer had not been
heard of.
His wife became frightened .and alarmed
the neighborhood. All the neighbors
joined the searching party. On
the third day they found him. He was
lying in a hollnw on the side of a hill
with both feet frozen, he was hall covered
with snow, but alive. Most of
the sheep were lost.
A farmer near T*?wksbury, Vt., owned
a large field of corn. He built fires.
Nearly every night he and his men
took turns in keeping ip the fire ami
watching that the corn did not freeze.
The farmer was rewarded for his tireless
labors by having tin* only crop of
corn in the region.
July came 111 with snow and ice.
On the 4th of July ice as thick as window
glass formed throughout NewEngland,
New York and in some parts
of the State of Pennsylvania. Indian
corn which in some parts of* the east
had struggled through May and June, j
guve up, iroze and died.
To the surprise of everybody August
proved the worst month of all. Almost
every green thing in this country and
Europe was blasted with frost. Snow
fell at Bamet thirty miles from London,
on August 3d. Newspapers received
from England stated that 1?16
would be remembered by the existing
generation as the year in which there ;
was no summer. Very little corn
ripened in New England.
There were great privations, and j
thousands of persons would have per- 1
ished in this country had it not been
for the abundance of fish and wild
game. I
The Circuit Court.
Yorkville Enquirer. Friday.
In the case of Belle Guntharpe and
Son Crawford, being tried for assault
and battery with intent to kill when the
last issue of The Enquirer went to
press, the jury found a verdidt of not
guilty as to Son Crawford and guilty
as to Belle Guntharpe, who was sentenced
to the penitentiary fur two years.
Henry McMackin, who was charged
with shooting into a dwelling house,
was convicted of his guilt and sen
tenced to tour years on tne cnaingang.
Joe Sumter, the negro who burglar- j
ized the office of Mr. J. L. Sowell re-j
cently and who wounded Mr. Sowell,
while receiving a wound himself, plead
guilty and was sentenced to three years
on the chaingang.
The jury took the papers in the ease
of Grover Porter, charged with forgery
on Tuesday evening and returned a
! verdict of not guilty.
Will Hammond, white, of Fort Mill
township, plead guilty to the charge of
burglary and larceny, and was sen:
tenetd to pay a fine of $100 or go to
the chaingang for six months. He
| paid the fine.
The next case taken up was that of
j the State vs. C. J. Miller, charged with
j assault and battery with intent to kill. ,
: The defendant is a policemen in the
i city of Rock Hill and the prosecuting
witness is Hub McKadden ot Rock Hill.
They undertook to set up tha. the poj
liceman attacked the defendant without
legal justification, beat him with
1 a "billy" and threatened his life with i
a pistol. The defendant plead self-dej
fense, claiming that he went to the
j prosecuting witnesses' place of busi:
ness for the purpose of serving a summons,
and that aftci the summons had
been served, prosecuting witness followed
him out of the door and used
abusive language, whereupon plaintiff
undertook to arrest prosecuting witness
for disorderly conduct. Prosecuting
witness made toward his desk
where the defendant had reason to believe
he kept a pistol, and deft ndant wit|
ness followed him, beating him with
his billy to prevent prosecuting witness
from getting pistol. There was
a good deal of conflict in the testimony,
the prosecuting witness testifying
that McFadden had done nothing whatever
to provoke an assault. The case
was taken up on Wednesday morning
and consumed all of Wednesday, the
papers not going to the jury until about
10:30 o'clock yesterday morning. The
jury remained out several hours and '
yesterday afternoon returned with a
verdict of assault and battery of a
high and aggravatad nature. Sentence
was suspended pending a motion for a
new trial, which will be argued tomorrow.

of another negro in a dance row near
King's Mountain battle ground recently,
was allowed to plead guilty of manslaughter
and was sentenced to three
years on the chaingang.
Robert Miller, charged with the
burning of Mr. R. H. Peacock's bam,
near Catawba Junction, plead guilty of
arson and was sentenced to ten years
on the chaingang.
Claude Ratterree was tried on the
charge of selling intoxicating liquor
(cider) in violation of the dispensary
law. The jury returned a verdict of
not guilty.
Charley Turney, tried on the charge
of obtaining goods under false pretenses
with intent to defraud, and in
accordance with the instructions of
the court, the jury returned a verdict
of not guilty.
R. K. Lowry was tried on the charge
of disposing of crops under lien, and
the jury returned a verdict of not
?uisvjr.

case of George Webb and Sam Fewell,
charged with the murder of Will Barnett
at a negro dance at Tirzah, in the
house of Wade Whitlock near Tirzah,
on the 10th of February last.

nature, was sentenced to six
months or $100 fine. He paid the fine.

Mr. Sampson Broom, whom we men-1

19, 1875, we had another frost that
killed the wheat to the ground.
We are proud to say that there is
still promise of some fruit. The prospect
for peaches seems to be better
than for appks. The small grain crop
though late is looking fairly well, and
the farmers are just moving up preparing
their lands and planting corn
and cotton, and while the prospect is
not what we would wish, let us lay
aside every fear of defeat, every
thought of ill will for our feliowman,
look the future in the face with a glad
heart and go forward to make 1911 the
banner year of our lives. "S."

Prohibition in Maine.
Perhaps no election of the year 1911
will be watched more closely than that
one which is to be held in Maine next
September. For fifty years Maine has
been a dry State. At the same time it j
has been a sign board for the prohibitionists
and antiprohibitionist. the one pointing
to Maine as a State where prohibition ;
has succeeded, the other pointing to it
as an example where prohibition has :
failed.
The vote comes from the Democratic
party. Prohibition was discussed at the
hustlings and the Democrats pledged
themselves to re-submit to the people
at a bv-election the question of constitutional
prohibition. The pledge will be
redeemed when the referendum is held
next September.
Maine has existed so lonir under nro
hibition that it would seem strange and
foreign under anv other banner. She
has received deputized committees from
all over the United States into her borders
that they might study and judge
of the success of Maine prohibition.
Delegations from the old world have
come, sent by Kings and Queens to inquire
into how this State handled the
whiskey question so skillfully. The
last delegation sent returned an unfavorable
report of conditions, stating
that while few men dealt in the traffic,
great numbers of women had become
keepers of "dives," which from the
standpoint of morals seemed to the
people of the old world to be worse )
than conditions in their own homes.
Between now and September there
will be something doing on the part of
both prohibitionists and whiskey men,
and the arguments pro and con that will
be held on this subject would fill a little
book.
Right will prevail, we may be sure of
that. It may be eclipsed for a while
but in the enuit will shine.?Exchange.

Machine to Destroy Boll Weevil.
News comes from Winston-Salem,
N. C., that a citizen of that city has
invented a machine which means destruction
to the cotton boll weevil.
The machine, which is known as the
"H. H. H. cotton boll weevil destroyer,"
is mounted on a two-wheel carriage
and is run by an 18-horse-power gasoline
engine. Five switches protrude on
either side, designed to strike the cotton
plant, the shock knocking the boll
weevil to the ground. Two suction
pipes are in the rear of the machine
beneath a 24-inch fan, making 2,000
revolutions a minute. Leather lips are
attached to the ends of the pipes, drag?ing
the ground lightly and the powerul
suction is intended to draw the
weevil up through the tubes and against
a wire screen to their death.

uj>on the early grave of Samuel
Alexander Kell ?the devoted husband, i
the faithful father, the tender, loving
son and brother, the true s.nd trusty
friend. Loyal and lovable, genial and
gentle, his was a knightly soul. His
sympathetic, sensitive nature, united i
with the magnetism of his personality, !
attracted all with whom he came in
contact, and every acquaintance be- i
came a friend. We who knew him
best loved him best. \Ve mourn for
him "the doubly dead in that he died
so young.'
In his adopted home, Clinton, North I
Carolina, he was highly esteemed as a |
gracious, kindly, courteous gentleman,
and his passing has caused the keenest
regret. Fort Mill, the home of his j
birth and happy childhood, was ever i
most dear to his heart, and it was one ,
of the dreams of his life to be one day
able to return there.
In his quiet way he was a Christian
man, and with his young wife, was to
have joined the church at Clinton the I
Sunday following his death. We sor-1
row not without hope. Beyond the
blessed battlements, bevond the shining

It is not far
To that dear home,
Where my beloved are; ?
And still my heart sits
Like a bird upon the empty nest,
And mourns its treasure gone ?
Plumed for the flight
And vanished quite. ?
Ah. me! where is the comfort
Tho' 1 say he has but journey'd on
A little way?
Why should his gain be such a grief to
me?
This sense of loss - this heavy cross?
Dear Saviour, take the burden off
I pray?and show me
Heaver is but a little way,
A little, little way.
This sentence I repeat,
Hoping and longing to extract
Some sweet to mingle with the bitter.
From thy dear hand
I take the cup, Oh, Lord,
Although I cannct, cannot understand? j
And tho' it seems so very, very far
To that pure home where my beloved I
are,
I know, I know it is not so!
Oh, give me faith to feel it
When I say,
Tho' he is gone,
'Tis but a little wav.
