Robert Campbell, a middle-aged white man of the mill village/ and llSeve Dee*, a white man of about 30, were arrented by the authorities on ToMdsy ehanvd with ttw burglary of the B. C. Hough jewelry ??Ub nshment in LancMter last Sunday > ; .^ight. As soon as the robbery was discovered on Monday morning, the affair was reported to the sheriff's office and Mr. Hough and the authorities began an investigation. The first clue found was a crowbar left in the vicinity of the place on entrance at the rear tii the store. The crowbar was identified as being owned locally. Mr. Hough made a hurried check up of the missing goods and descriptions were given to the: authorities in hearby towns, with the result that a man who gave his name as Robert Campbell was located ip Fort Mill in possession of articles that answered the description of some of the missing jewelry. He was taken I into custody and the Lancaster authorities notified. He is said to have admitted having a part in tb? robbery j and implicated Dave Dees who was located and arrested in Great Falls. Only a small part of the stolen goods had been recovered up to Thursday noon, but It is thought that the greater part of the loot will be located. It is understood that Campbell's home is in Fort Mill, and that he was working here. He wus suspected of the theft of some articles from a trunk in the home where he boarded and an investigation of that matt?r revealed a clue to the robbery of the jewelry store. Not much is known of Campbell here, but it is understood that Dees' home is in , I-ancaster. Both men are being held in jail awaiting further developments. It is understood that the Fort Mill officers had a hard fight putting Campbell under arrest.-?Lancaster News. Truck Gardener Succeeds. I'ickens, Dec. 27.?Tomatoes which sold for 3406 from one-seventh of an acre and 383 bushels of Lookout Mountain potatoes from two aorcs. These items, from the record of Rev. W. M. Walker, of Six Mile, Picken* county, indicate possibilities in truck gardening in this county. Mr. Walker used Karliana, Liv. ingaton Globe and other varieties, has a special system of training the plants to upright stakes and a horizontal wire, and uses a wilt remedy which he claims is unfailing. He gathers the tomatoes green and stores them in a ripening house. This, he says, reduces the strain on the vines, prevents Hunscald and worm injury, and gives a mellower tomato when ripe. His sales were largely to the commissary department at Clemson College and the Community store at Clemson College. The large potato yield was from 24 bushels of seed planted on good | clay loam soil fertilized with 1000 pounds of 8-3-3 fertilizer per aero. The potatoes are being kept for sale next season as seed, protection being given by sawdust in a storehouse which is easily ventilated. A probable price of $4 per bushel next summer would give $1332, or $666 gross return per acre. Deducting cost of seed $48, and cost of fertilizer $10, there remains $508 per acre for rent, labor and profit. Twenty cucumber vines in Mr. Walker's garden furnished cukes for 75 gallons of sweet pickles which he put up by a special recipe and for which he finds ready sale. Hawks and Owls. During the ( hristmas season many hawks and owls are shot, trapped or otherwise taken by hunters or farm boys, and Professor Franklin Sherman, at ( lemson College, is wondering whether the people who secure these birds will know just what kinds of hawks and owls they are, and whether they would like to find out. Some of them may be rare kinds. The collections at Clemson coptain a number of kinds of hawks and owls and these have been shown and explained to many farmers and club boys, but there are several of the scarcer kinds which'are lacking. One ^ special prize that would be well worth preserving is the Snowy Owl, which is of large size, mainly white in color, and may perhaps come into the state in midwinter. The Pigeon-hawk or "Blue Darter" is another species which is much wanted; also the Long-eared and Short-eared owls and others, as well as eagles. As is well known, the hawks and owls feed upon rats, mice, rabbits, squirrels, some birds, and sometimes poultry. The most careful students agree that most kinds of hawks and owls do more good than harm, but now and again an individual gets in the habit of raiding the chicken-yard and deserves to be killed. Any person sufficiently interested to send specimens of hawks and owls to Prof. F. Sherman, Clemson College, S. C., will be fully informed of their names and habits. Wrap well, pack in box, and send by prepaid parcel post.

'! ?il?r, J, W. Iir?wH Aaay Or? Sunday morning December 18tb, just wli? ii the people of Camden were going to their cfywrhea tot the morn' in * worship, Rev. J. , W. Brown, colored, retired member of the South Carolina Conference, Methodist Episcopal Church, passed away. Until about two months ago Rev. Brown was in excellent health for one of his years. Up to six wceka ago he was regular In attendance upon the services of his Church and Sunday School, giving up only when forced to do so by extreme weakness. Reverend Brown was one of the oldest members of the South Carolina Conference, having entered in J873, fifty-four years ago. .Although a retired member for many years, he has attended all the conferences since his retirement. He took pride in the fact of having answered every roll call up to the Conference at Hartaville last December. This venerable minister, one of the old 'school, was a powerful preacher, an organiser and builder of churchea. Several churches in what is now the Sumter District were organized by him. Wesley Chapel near Camden is one of the churches that he ably pastored in the days of his strength. Many people remember the great camp meetings held at that Church under Rev. J. W. Brown. Despite the fact that he had passed' his four score years, and waa blind, he waa keenly interested in the progress of the Church, and was never happier than when he was talking with some of the ministers about it. And although unable to attend the Conference at Charleston, he sent letters expressing his good wishes to the brethern, and his regret because he was forced to stay away. His end was very peaceful, there was no pain, no struggle, only a closing of the eyes in sleep to awake in glorious immortality. The funeral service was held at the Mt. Moriah Baptist Church and was attended by a large number of ministers and friends of the deceased. Some of the ministers who were unable to attend sent messages of condolence to the bereaved family. Beautiful eulogies were given by Reverends J. W: Boy kip, W. G. McGjrt, T. J. Williams, A. G. Townsend, A. R. Howard and B. P. Bradford, District Superintenddent of the Sumter District. In the beautiful cemetery in Camden^ he sleeps beside his wife who many years ago preceded him to the Glory Land.?B. F. Bradford.

Judge Hayes told the federal, grand jury ut Greensboro, N. C., that more men Hhould be employed to enforce the prohibition law and be paid out of larger appropriations. John S. Berger, wealthy Californian, who came to the rescue of Geo. Remus in his trial at Cincinnati, ()., for the murder of his wife, and who testified in his behalf, has l>een arrested on a charge of perjury and placed under $3,000 bond. Two hundred and sixty-five alleged bootleggers were arrested in Omaha, Neb., on Monday. The alleged bootleggers when arraigned were held under bond of $3,000 each. Most of the evidence against (he liquor sellers was secured by one man. According to some physicians it is inadvisable to disturb a biting mosquito. for the reason that he first injects a poison to dilute the blood and then when the meal is over will suck the poison back again. If the mosquito is driven away the poison remains, causing the pain and swelling of mosquito bites. NOTICE OF FILING OF WILL. State of South Carolina, County of Kershaw.
