The fer tilizer is fast becoming available to the worthless growth of our cotton stalks here in Laurens County. As I travel thru the different sections of the county I find a number of far mers plowiiJg up their stalks and planting grain, as it is grhin season now and not cotton. Rye, like other small grains, will* do best on a well prepared seed bed. However, good results are. secured when drilled in cotton or corn ground without furtlter preparation. » Heavier seeding should be made when rye is tb be grated thah when it is to be used for a grain crop. Fivb' to six pecks per acne gives better re sults than lighter seeding. • When rye is adapted to poor Itud, tHURgDAY^OCTOBERSyMS : THE JEDGE’S JOSH \ He Understood Employer: (to mother who has brought her son in answer ta ad) "Is the boy absolutely honest?^* Mother, (with knowing smile), "Oh, absolutely honest, b^t of course, he knows that Jsuaineys is business." Results Sure Instead of bribing a jury to disa gree why not put a man and his wife on the jury. Business Picking Up An undertaker bought a new car to increase his business—the first day he* drove it he picked up several new customers. Hard At It. College is open and a great many fathers are working their son’s way through. He Wina a Prize! Luke Holcombe isn’t as bashful as people, say he is! Luke swears he it should, in ^he'present emergency, [ winked at a girl in the dark once, be planted on good land to furnish 1 ' quicker and more grazing. If planted at once abruzzi rye properly handled should furnish grazing from about Dec. 1 to May *1. Grazing during wet weather on heavy clay soils such as are most common in the Piedmont should be avoided to prevent com pacting the soils. Abruzzi rye is t’he best variety to plant in South Carolina, and seed should be purchased from reliable seedmen, as there is evidence that there has been considerable misrepre sentation of rye seeddn this section of the country. , CALVIN ESKEW FREED OF CHARGE Young White Man Found Not Guilty Of Murder In Court At Laurens. 7 Laurens,—Oct. 3.—Calvin Eskew, young white man of the Madden sec tion 6i the county, was Thursday 1 af ternoon acquited of murder by *a jury in general sessions court here. The youth was charged with having slain his father, S. H. Eskew, a few months ago, while the latter was administer ing punishment to Mrs. Eskew, ac cording to the testimony of the de fendant and other members of the family. The defendant said he tried to get his father to desist; that he apparently became more enraged at his interference and that the son was forced to shoot. Hie defense was handled by W. B. Knight of the local bar. This was the first of five mur der cases on the docket for the term that is now being held. Culling willC^elp: With the pres ent feed shortage at the door of the farmers, a number of farmers are calling on me to cull out their flock oi chicker*. It is important that he make every pound of feed pay a max imum profit, especially when it comes to poultry. For relief in the present situation I suggest that everybody cull their stiens and pyllets closely and feed the good layers for real egg pro duction. The sale of the cull hens and pullets will furnish a little money to start feeding’ right’ and then eggs will bring in money this fall and win ter. — * Home Garden Keeps off Hunger: Cabbage plants and aollard plants may be planted during the month of 'October. Cabbage, under favorable conditions will produce headed cab bage in December. Georgia collards set in rich soil should be ready for use during late December, January, and February, when theie is a scar city of greens. Kale is a valuable salad crop. Seed k planted in the same way as you plant turnips. Mustard is a valuable salad crop.

As I travel from one section of the County to the other, I see bales of cottoi) exposed to the weather. Why is this? If you will recall, people will paint their houses not only to make them Jjretty, which is a good things but to protect them from the weather. Each daY, you can see the people looking for shades and sheds to park their cars under for pro tection. Most real farmers will keep their tools painted and under the shelter while not in use in order to protect them, and to make them last Vlonger. We all know the effect of weathering, even on the rocks, and yet there are a number of real good farmers of Laurens county who are bringing thdlr cotton home from the gin and throwing it off in the yard exposed to the fains.

(Continued from Page One) mother, but that he had •answered the draft and had been turned down. The witness said he was not of a jealous nature. Porter admitted that he had given W. B. Leath, assistant treasurer of the Hannah Pickett mill, a copy of the “slander letter” written and address ed to Cole by Ormond with the under standing that it was to be shown to a “certain party” who had made re marks ~ag«inst Cole. The state charged Leath while he was on the' witness stand with mak ing a trip for that purpose an^d at tempted to obtain from him the admis sion that Copies of the letter were cir culated for the purpose of creating sentiment for Cole. The witness de nied the charge and Porter testified today that the charge was untrue. Testimony for the purpose of cor roborating other witnesses was intro duced by the defense and after it had rested its case the state called other eye-witnesses to the shooting. pole’s story of the shooting was | bales haven’t a piece of timber under ^ ^ them to * hold them off the ground. I that Tyhen his eye met Ormond’s the ■ i * And on the very same farms I’ve seen eftipty sheds in less than 30 yards of this cotton. Now why is it necessary to protect tools or vehicles and not bales of cotton. With the scarcity of feed this time there are a number of barns or sheds that could be used for protecting cotton. Yes, there is danger of the barnq.or sheds catching on fire, but stilk I see an- tomobiles stored under them. Oh. yes, they are insured, most of them. My friends, if this is the reason why cotton is\ndt protected I feel sure the same instance company will injure cotton. I know that it looks real good to pass a country home and'see bales of cotton scattered around, as if prosperity existed, but still its hard to realize why a farmer will expose his cotton to the weather after he has toiled so hard during the year to pro duce it. I hope and trust that this is not self pride that causes him to do such, as one business man of Laurens county mentioned to me in discussing this matter. latter made a break for his car and he made a break for him. He testified that he shot Ormond while he was in the act of going for hig pistol. Every witness fo^ the state who sa wthe homicide concur in that Or mond sat in his car in semi*reclining position with his back to Cole. Also in support of this contention the state called Dr. E. C. BrookSj. president of the State College of Agriculture and Engineering, where Ormqfliid worked last March as an electttrian. Dr. Brooks testified that Ormond was hard of hearing and that on one occa sion he had spoken to him behind his back and had not been heard. Clyde Hoey, Shelby, will address the jury first for the prosecution, Solicitor F. Don Phillips will close far the state, with Harry Moore, of New Bern, ^preceding him. For the defense, James H. Pou, of Raleigh, will first address the jury, Aubrey L. Brooks, of Greensboro, will dose, and James A. Lockhart of Char lotte, also will speak., * / TT The Greatest of All HUDSONS at Lowest Prices in History *1195 for the COACH $1495 for the Brougham — $1695 for the 7-Pass.
