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.
In a log-ging camp at the altitude
of 6,666 feet near Mariposa, California,
a rural schoolhouse is built on
sled .runners so that it can be moved
from place to place.

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. "
Languages of all the races of the
world are being preserved on phonograph
records at the new Museum of
Languages at the fJorbonnc in Paris.
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.
