Soil Robber Sentenced to Hard Labor
The second year vocational agricultural
class from Camden high school
staged a mock trial for the adult
farmers in the Lugoff community.
These men have been studyfbg soil
improvement by growing winter legumes
under the agricultural teacher
from Camden high school. "The
Trial of a Soil Robber," was presented
to these men and visitors to make
the course more interesting and impressive.
The characters: Hiram Doolittle,
defendant, Victor Rabon; Kennesau
Mountain, Judge, Austin Jones; I. W.
Wise, prosecuting attorney, Covert
McCallum; Will E. Cheatham, defense
attorney, I>awson Munn; Steve Jones,
clerk of court, Otis Watts; John D.
Uw, sheriff, J. H. McLeod; Timothy
Pearman, foreman of jury, L. O. Funderburk;
Andrew Shark, technical
witness, Elmo Brown; Thomas Work,
material witness, Clinton Walker;
Bill Cottonseed, material witness,
Bill Gettys.
The defendant pleaded "not guilty"
to the charge of being a soil robber,
but he states that the soil has robbed
him of his money. The defendant ac
knowledges that he has done nothing
to keep his soil from washing and
plants no cover crops or legumes at
all on his farm.
The prosecuting and defending attorneys
argued the case very bitterly
and each summing up the facts in the
case for the -jury, ?
'1 he Judge's charge to the Jury:
" J he jury will take the case, weigh
the evidence carefully and reach a decision.
The question for you to decide
is whether he has squandered
and robbed that which belongs to his
heirs and if the evidence shows he
haft, then the verdict must be
'Guilty',"
The jury finds the defendant guilty
of the charge of being a soil robber
and the Judge aentences the defendant
to hard labor on his own farm.
In one year the defendant must terrace
his land, plan a better cropping
system and plant summer and winter
legumes to improve his soil.

storm last Friday afternoon did
slight damage around Camden. A
large mulberry tree was blown down
in the yard of Mr. A. M. McLeod on
Hampton avenue. On Chesnut street
extension leading to the home of Mr.
T. Lee Little a large tree was badly
torn* up by lightning.
Reports from the Rembert section
state that a garage belonging to Mr.
J. L. Gillis was blown down and several
small houses , unroofed. The
store of Perry Brown, near the Ellerbe
home was pretty badly damaged
by the high wind.
The heavy rain and wind interrupted
the football ,game between

was finally finished in water ankle
deep and resulted in a victory for
Camden at 28 to 7.

GROW SALAD GREENS
Extension Horticulturist Waxes Enthusiastic
on Old and New
Clemson College, Oct. 1(J.?"It
[would he a gardening crime to let
fall pass and nob try the new Japan-1
ese foliage turnip, sometimes called
'Shogoing'; and don't fail to try some
'Tendergreen* or mustard spinach,
another new salad green," says A. PL
Schilletter, extension horticulturist,
who states that both of these will
stand lots of hot dry weather, are
very fast and vigorous growers when
the season is at all favorable, and
(are very resistant to plant lice.
Regarding other and older crops
good for salad greens, Mr. Schilletter
continues:
Spinach is a salad crop that is
not planted as extensively in the fall
garden a.- it should be. Aragon,
Norfolk Savoy, or Bloomsdale are
three of the best varieties for fall
and winter use.
Turnips can be planted with success
as late as the last of October
for salad, the Seventop variety being
one of the best for winter use.
Mustard is anoth'er valuable salad
crop, which grows more rapidly than
any other salad. It may be planted
in October and with good seasons
will produce salad in four or five
weeks after the seed come up. Giant
Southern Curled i3 the most desirable
variety for fall and winter.
Kale is still another good salad
crop. Sow seed in early October the
same way as turnips. Siberian Curled
is the best variety for winter use.
Over-Ruled
Technically, the husband is the
head of the househtdd, but in most
cases the technicality is overruled.-?

Michael Burke, 17, characterized as
"St. Joseph's one man crime wave",

a former constable last December.
