"INJUR'' AND "BUCK"
A Unique Report of a Humoron*
Tragedy In Calhoun Court
In a jail full of colored miscreant*
for the last court, most of which
amounted to little in the end, there
watt one, both humorous and neartragical,
relates the St. Matthews
(Calhoun) Times. "Dock" Roach
lives on the farm of H. C. Beiger, a
mile or two above Andrew Chapel
church. He is .a good worker but
mean as a rattlesnake when in li*
quor. He went home one day during
the fall, tanked up and full ready for
a rumpus with "Beck," his inoffen- ,
Hive spouse. He ordered her to leave
his house. "Where I gwine"? said
Beck. The third time he ordered her
to get out. On her way towards the
big road Dock pulled down on Beck
with a shot gun?a few shot taking
effect. Beck's tale, at this juncture,
was interesting and pathetic: "When
I get to de road Dock was dere with
de gun and toll me to went buck. I
say, Dock you mek me leave und now
you won't let me go. Where mus I
went and what mus' I do"? We said
to her: "Beck will you stand to that
in court"? "I shore gona stand. I
tired Dock treatln me like u dog."
Dock was in jail and Beck was on
hand to tell it all. Lo and behold!
When the case was called, Beck had
gotten cold feet and pulled out for
Caw Chw. Dock's luwyer then did a
shrewd thing. In order to save Dock
from a possible rekindling of Beck's
wrath and chain gang term of several
years, he made to plead guilty
to "simple assnult" und was given 110
days on the roads. Think of "simple
assault" with, bullets in a poor woman's
back, from a drunken coon's
shotgun. Our little "nigger courts"
are certainly an amusing circus.
A little girl went to a Philadelphia
butcher lust week and tendered a
quarter in payment for meut. The
butcher was doubtful of its genuineness.
The child innocently said "they
must be good, my daddy just cooked
them." The secret service was told
about the incident. The child's father,
mother and two others were arrested
as counterfeiters.

Valuable Message
Clem?on College, Dee. 14.?Experiment
Station Bulletin 262, Fertilizer
Rotation Experiment)) at the Pee I>ee
Station, by T. S. Buie, R. E, Currin,
E. D. Kyzer, and J. D. Warner, wow
available at the Publication)) Division,
Clemaon College, says that the
relatively low plant food content of
the soil in South Carolina, the cropping
?yatem employed, together with
the topography, rainfall, temperature
and other natural factors, make
the use of commercial fertilizer necessary
if the principal field crops
of the state are to be produced profitably.
The experiment was conducted
to secure dependable information
upon which a judicious use of
fertilizer in a regulated cropping system
may be based.
The treatments were arranged so
as to have varying amounts of each
fertilizer element applied with a constant
amount of the othfer two elements
so that the effect of each element
might be noted. The experiment
showed that increasing the per
centage of phosphoric acid to as much
as 12 per cent in a 1000-pound application
of complete fertilizer gives
a Jgiarked increase in the yield of cotton
fn the rotation aeries. Applications
of phosphorus materially increase
the earlineaa of the cotton t
crop. Additional nitrogen to as high
as five per cent of ammonia increases
the yield of cotton grown in
a rotation, but large amounta of nitrogen
delay the maturity of the
crop. Side-dressing cotton with nitrate
of soda on June 16 is preferable
to July 15, or on both dates.
Four and as much as eight percent
phosphoric acid in a 1000 pound ap
plication gives a profitable increase
in the yield of corn and oats. The
advantage of a rotation was clearly
shown by the average yields produced
on continuous and rotation
plota.

of Publications at Clemson College.
Five were killed and twenty were
wounded when Haitian natives revolted
at Aux Cayea and Jacmel last
Friday and clashed with a small number
of U. S. Marines. The marines
suffered no casualties.
