That the South Is * boyt to enter a
new era of business and finance is
the opinion of John l^wn^les McUu
rln, former United States Henator from
South Carolina and no* chairman of
the state warehouse cofi?mls*itm of
that state. - Henator McUurln when
seen yesterday at the office* of ?ens
korf, Lyon & Co,, said he believed that
in many -the European 'war ahd
the consequent tic up of this year's
cotton crop would prove a great boon
to the South In that It would cause
her to diversify her crop*. i? south
Carolina, at any rate, he believes that
the law restricting cottoh acreage will
Ik* rigidly enforced, and hopes that oth
er cotton state? will follow the exam
ple.
-- "T1$ law passed h, South Carolina,"
said Sir. McLaurln, "provides that no
planter shal have over ou-third of his
cultivated area in cotton, it further
specifies a tax of $25 for each per acre
evasion and the law makes all sheriffs
district attorneys and other Jtate and'
municipal officials responsible for the
carylng out of the limitations As a
result South Carolina is already be
ginning to diversify her crops and is
now planting wheat and oats in great*
er quantities than they were ever sown
in the South before. The jieople of the
State are enthusiastic over It. In some
: cases they are not even waiting for
the cotton crop to be harvested, hut
have sown their grain between the
rows of cotton plants. one who
has not lived in the south can realize
what this will mean to that part of
the United States. It means that the
South is entering a new era, that
will be far richer in a few years th
ever before and that her systeia of do
ing business will be changed from A
credit to a cash basis. It means that
we can harvest/ two crops a y& in,
stead of one, grain and cotton, and
that with the grain we raise we can
become independent of the west where
we are now forced to buy our grain."
The South has never been able to get
uway from planting cotton exclusive
ly before and probably would not now
. had it, not been for the tie-up in the
IJPQtton crop owing to the war. In that
the strife In Europe may even*
tuaiiy provav a i?oon to the cotton

CAMDEN NEGRO BATTLES
WITH WORCESTER POLICE
Joe EngUh, Who Skipped His
Bond, Raises Rough House
in Northern City.
Worcester, Maw., Dec. 11.? After a
de*i?erate hand to bund struggle with
two police in*i>ectors a nd a running
battle with a squad of other officer*, in
which maify shot* were fired, Joseph
English, aliuH Jack Williams, a giant
negro, lost night fought hi* w# y clear
and, although wounded, eluded pur
suer* by many* hours. -
Ho was c&j>tured at 1 :10 o'clock this
aiornlng at Wive and KngleWOOd st*,
In .the Columbus Vark district, about
t\yo mile** frorti the Hcene of the shoot
ing. One of the resident* noticed hltn
limping along and notified the police.
He wan surrounded by a squad of of'
fleers and surrendered without a strug
gle. At police headquarters three bul
let wounds were fountLin his leg. His
pockets were filled with cartridges
m$ was booked on the technical charge
of assault and battery on a police Of?
fleer. . -
-For bomb time past he has boon liv
ing with his son, known to the police
as James Williams, at 40 Assonett at,
and to this place Inspectors "James
Casey and John Burke went tonight
to arrest him for the Camden, 8. C.,
police. He is wanted iu the southern
city on. 10 counts.?
At first English agreed to go along,
asking only t? be allowed to change
his clothes. The house"* has no gas
lights and there were no lamps in
sight. While the two inspectors fol
lowed bfm, striking matcbeg, he led
them to a room oii the second floor.
In the meantime, the police charge,
the younger negro slipped to the. back
of the house* got a repeating rifle and
handed it to his father, wheff~ ttt6
matches flickered out simultaneously.
In -an iust ant English turned on his
captors and ordered them to -throw up
their hands. "V
Relying ypn the darkness, however,
the two inspectors grappled with their
prisoner. English, who stands 0 feet
1 inch and weighs close to -200 -pounds,
was more than a match for the lighter
men. He broke away* and made for the
baek stairs. As he did so he opened
flre with the rifle; and the inspectors
reP!ted wiUx their revolvers. ? ? . .^4
When they reached the bottom of
the stalrfe, Cater'.' came up with the
fugitiye again and, seized him. English
clubbed his weapon an^ beat the po
liceman to his knees." He threw .Burke
off; when the latter tried to hold him..
and made off, -through the boSt yardl
firing at intervals. - v p
, By this time the neighborhood was
in a. high pitch of excitement. Word
was sent to police headquarters,- and
Sergt. McAuliffe and a squad of 15
men responded to the call. 'They ar
rived just as English was running out
of the yard.
He turned and fired two or three
i shots, which were an.sweredjihy a num
ber from the police. Then lie iten
down a side street- and disappeared
in the darkness. A trail of blood on
the stairs of the house indicated that
some of thev bullets fired by the two
Inspectors had Struck him. '
, Th$ son, James, was arrestei and is
held at station 2. No charge has been
placed against him. Joseph English
Is 48 and his son 19.

The negro referred to in the above
dispatch was wanted in Camden, for
having violated the dispensary law.
Mr. tt. B. Williams w^s on his bond,
and the negro owed htm all told some
thing like $000. '.The cas& cam? up
for trial at the November term of
court for last y^ar, and ..it developed
that English had skipped for parts un
known. lie was tflSd'Trt his absence
and a sealed verdict now awaits him
after /the officers In the Massachusetts
city have .finished with him. .
.. English owned ft small farm just
north of Camden and when be got in
to the trouble he left Camden. His
wife and son were- already in Massa
chusets and Mr. Williams thinking that
the negr*-#ould make his wffy to th at
state, has been gradually working- on
a clue to his whereabouts. Some few
weeks ago a letter came from English's
wife to Mr. Williams about the land
j&jt owned. Feeling Tymfldont that the
letter was dictated by Joseph EJngllsh
[lift WUUIfia* gave the Worcester Of
ficers the street address and descrip

1R TOMATO CLUB WORK.
County Will Consider

\ 'Work is Stopped.
"Is ii really true that we won't have
any Ton^to Club next yearVM "Will
w# have to atop. mir Bread ClubY"
"Why can't wo have our Bread ami
Tomato Clibfir These are some of i
the questions that I am asked in many
of the rural schools since the indua

thia splendid work.

fakcy in our state and more ho in Ker

McKenzle, our former ctlident super
intendent of education, encouraged the
club work in the rural achoola. A
.small number of girls did very good
work that year. Two years ago the
organising and supervising of the
glrla clubs waH included In the work
supervisor of Hnrai ^Schools. In
< only half time about fifty girl*
ved personal kuimtvIhIoV and good
Its were attained. Thia past year
lent gave her entire tHta to the
work: Alxiut a hundred girls got
and sixty did excellent work.
State Agent had planned to Intro
duce the Bread Club feature, also rh?
Poultry Club for the coming yea?v
Since the beginning, the plan ot,tiie
Girls' Club has been to specialise on
on* thing? in other words, learn to do
one thing at the time, and that done
well. So the tomato waa chosen to
(specialise on. In learning tp make
hot beds, and. cold frames; also how
to plant, transplant, prune, spray, cul
tivate and can tomatoes, valuable lea
sous are learned that can be used in
cultivating and preserving other fruits
and vegetables. After tnui phase or
the worJ$ is mastered the girls are
tiieji taught bread-making. Truly an
art, when once accomplished, Ao bo
proud of. Following thia work of
household science, poultry raising is
Introduced. Does it not take a know '
ledge of these three pnases of work ^o |

What do we mean by an "ideal
home 7* Certainly not a well kept
house with a library full o? books at *
living 011 Northern capi
goods, imported hams, butter, eggsv
etc. But it" Is a well kept home where
the health 'of the family la protected
by living at home. In my- school work
I sometimes hear a teacher remark:
"Those children are doing good work
lofijthey come from a good home."
To6 often it Is the opposite remark:
"I can't doS*fiy thing for those chlldreh
as they have^no homo training." To
morrow pur cioui>tlfy, .will be far the
hands of these boys and girls of today,
ho dock it not stand to reason that we
can take steps of progress more rapid
ly If we improve the home conditions
of these boy* ahd girls? And it really
seems to me that' when men with so
much brains and forethought as Brad
ford Knapp, O. B. Martin, our former
state superintendent of. education, W.
W. Long, and rainy others are giving
their time ?nd spending effort and
government money in aiding , and en
couraging this work of making Ideal
homes, that our eoiinty might make
qii effort to help ourselves, since we
art the ones to reap the results, In*
stead of, willingly giving up the work,
JUst as it is getting a foot-hold, be
cause Mr. Brown east of Camden and
Mr. Smith of West Wateree think that
it Is not worth $600. per annum,
I earnestly hdpe that the authori
ties will consider long before thep stop
this plan of educating the girls of Ker

FORCED TO GO TO COURT |
Says Chairman Phfcfer of The
Water and light Plant.
To the Citizens of Cauiden : / v
In view of the fact that proceeding*
have . been commenced in the United
8tates District Court looking to a set
tlement of the differences between Mr.
John T. Harrington, the owner of 1"
property of the Camden Water, Lit
& Ice Company, anil th? Commissi* _
ers for tlie Public.' Works of the City
of Camden, we think it only fair to
state- that this litigation was not de*
sired by Mr. Harrington and that he,
through his agents and attorneys, has
done all in Ills power to bring about
an adjustment w|thoa^4ltigation.
Wdsd??ire to state^lhftt a , contract
lor the sale of the water mains was
duly entered Into tystween the Commis
'/doners and ourselves, aud under, that
differences have arisen which we deem
to be "ho fault of ours.
A provision ( of that contract was
that, if such difference should ariser,
to. avoid litigation,/# s&fould be . set
tied by arbitration* In the usual, man
neK4" WhfeiT Ihla" situation arose, aiftf
after Mr. Harrington had come here
and we had endeavored to adjust mat
ters, wfc found ihat> the Commission
era refused to; pay the purchase price,
niipirw
to- complete the test and' re -
to arbitrate tlie matter; and in
that eOnditi(fn of affairs, we could see
no other wily out of it except to sub
-init it to the arbitrament of the courts.
We' sincerely regret that the neces
sity of the case should roqulre both
ourselves and the cltixens of Camden
to be subjected to the annoyance and
expense of lltlgntlon over .this matter,
and jee hope when the entire matter
.is settled that there Will lw? no feeling
of reientmant ftgainst ^ih by the citi
