The forest is.practically sheltered
from the effects of allied artillery,
, and it has been converted into a reg

, full of troops and munitions depots
j and the whole camp illuminated
with electric light.
Through air photographs the situation
of the main military buildings
was located exactly, and at 1ft p. m.
the Gft French, Belgian and British
aeroplanes started out in clear moonlight.
Immediately the aeroplanes
appeared there was great excitement
in the camp. All lights were extinguished
and anti-aircraft guns cnm?
into action, but the airmen, greatly I
assisted by the moonlight, dropped
four tons of high explosives and incendiary
lK>mhs upon the camps and
depots.
Some of the nircrnft. returned to
refill with shells no fewer than threr;
times in the course of the night.
By the light of the fires started j
the airmen asserted they sow groups
of soldiers fleeing in great disorder
in the panic caused by the continual

THE FOBT MILL TIMES, F01
LANDS ARE ROBBED'
BY WINTER RAINS
V
- * H ?
Uncovered Hillside Soils Lose
Tons of Fertility Annually
That Could Be Saved.
TERRACING WILL SAVE IT
Laying Off Terraces on the Slopes and
Growing Winter Cover Crops Will
Save Millions to South Carolina
Farmers?Hillside Erosion Especially
Cor.tly In Piedmont Section of
8tate.
South Carolina farmers, and espe:
clallv those In the hilly Piedmont section,
need to terrace their lands to
keep the noil from being washed away
I by erosion, which is a wearing away
caused by wind and rain. The erosion
caused by rain water washes
thousands of tons of soil annually
from the lands of this state, with a
consequent loss of fertility. Nature's
method of preventing erosion is to
keep the soil covered with trees,
leaven, and grass. Man's method is j
to terrace and grow winter cover
cropH.
A terrace Is a ridge of soil thrown
up in such a manner as to prevent
water from (lowing rapidly down a
hillside or slope. Only steep or rolling
lands need terracing.
Use a leveling instrument In running
lines for terraces. One can be
had for from $12 to $25 and can be
used for many other kinds of work on
the farm. It is necessary also to have
a "hillside" plow, so that the dirt can
be thrown always down hill.
After determining on the line of the
terrace, by the use of the leveling Instrument,
begin on that line and throw
the first furrow up hill. Going above
it. using a hillside plow, throw the
next furrow down hill. Throw each
succeeding furrow down hill until the
proper distance has been covered to
get an elevation of about three feet.
This system, having the terraces about
throe feet high and vertical, will give
what is known as the level bench
terrace, the land between any two
terraces becoming a level bench with
no fall in any direction after a few
years' cultivation. The level bench
terrace Is best suited to most of the
farms in Piedmont South Carolina.
The strongest and highest terraces
should be located, as a rule, near the
upper edge of the hillside field, because
if the top terrace breaks It Is
well nigh impossible to prevent the
IClim rr? uniwn n wiu
away.
Run a terrace or ditch at the upper
edge of the field to rare for the surplus
water which may come from an
adjoining field, pasture or woodland.
Such surplus water often proves too
much for any system of terraces to
control.
Crossing terraces with teams, plows
or wagons will form depressions that
will allow water to break over and
start gullies, which weaken and de- i
troy a terrace. Avoid Jhls by leaving
at the end of the field a sodded
slope to be used as a road to get from
terrace bench to another.

BEAR HOLOS UP AUTOIS1
Black Bruin Refuses to Make Way, In

R. A. Quigley and party of hunter?
left here at night in an automobile
driven by Henry Lee of North

in the Hyner district, near the
pumping station of the Standard Oil
company. They reached camp safely
and Chauffeur Lee was on his way
to Hyner station to meet other members
of the party \Aen he saw the
black object ahead that proved to be
a large bear, which refused to move
from the road.
I^ee repeatedly blew his horn, but
the toot fell apparently upon deaf
ears. It was a clean holdup in a
dense forest, and the cold shivers began
to trace themselves up and down
the spinal column of the man at the
wheel.
Finally the bear moved off into the
woods, and the frightened motorist
put on full power, breaking the speed
limit on his way to Hyner station.?

Who Had Been Made to Qerfle
at Pistol Point.
Returning home at Second and
Pennell streets at noon, Mrs. William
Kirkwell found a tramp helping
himself to food in the kitchen,
ne started to run, but she called him
back. "Finish your dinner/' she
commanded, and the tramp, picking
up courage, resumed his meal.
His hunger satisfied, he thanked
his hostess and started toward the
door.
"Xo, you don't," said Mrs. Kirk
wen ; "vou haven't had half enough
yet. Finish that apple pie; then
have another piece of that cake."
Mrs. Kirkwell showed a revolver
as she continued to urge the tramp
to eat. Realizing he must try to
please, he crammed himself until he
could hold no more, and still he
was urged to help himself to more
pie and cake. When he finally was
allowed to go, he remarked that "too
much is plenty," and waddled out.?
