Took Wife from Husband.
Lexington, April 14.?J. W. 1
Starnee, Jr., and Vastine S. N. Jefcoat,
two white men, were arrested
yesterday upon a "warrant sworn out
by B. J. Jefcoat, charging conspiracy
and riot and assault with intent to '
kill. Stames is the father-in-law of
Jefcoat and Vastine Jefcoat is the
. , , A-.
uncie 01 ine pjosecuior.
, T$e crime is alleged to have been
committed several weeks ago. The
warrant charges that the two men
took Effie Jefcoat, the complainant's 1
wife, from the house of J. L. Jefcoat,
where he and his wife were spending
the night.
\ Starnes, it is understood claims 1
that his daughter was being roughly
fc treated by her husband and, at her '
- request, he took her home with him. i
B. P. Jefcoat killed a woman a few
years ago, while she was sitting in
the house with two babies on her lap,
it is said. He was tried for the killing,
but was acquitted upon the
^ ground that the killing was accidental
and on account of his age, it
having been claimed that he was only
about 14 years old.
>: Both of the defendants have been
vs released upon bond, the amount having
been fixed by Magistrate Harman
at $500.

Favorable Report from Committee.
> Washington, April 18.?The bill
creating the Southern Appalachain
and White mountain forest reserve
was favorably reported to-day in the
house by the committee on agricul''
' a xl V!I1 +XN
ture. rne purpose 01 tue uiu i& ^ i
preserve watersheds by conservation
of trees and by forestation, where
\ necessary. .
,The bill is designed to conserve
; navigable rivers, but the first application
contemplated is to the forest
reserve mentioned. The majority of
the committee says "the agricultural,
industrial and commercial future of
the seetions of the country to which
it is most immediately directed" is
involved in the bill.
"It is the most practical and im4
mediately necessary of the proposed
conservation measures," says the
? : majority, "involving the smallest
initial expenditure, the less probable
future, expenditure, and the surest
return upon the investment. It seeks
to conserve one of the richest of our
I natural assets from serious impair
ment if not destruction, our navig[
able waterways."
f The minority report, signed by
Chairman Scott and six other members,
declares that congress has little
warrant for entering upon a policy
which must if carried to the extent
advocated by its promoters, involve
p the expenditure of vast sums of mon
? J ? ? A-.il I* v\A?*wt n nnn t
ey ana email a neav v pciuiau^ui.
cost upon the treasury.
The minority contends that the reforestation
of a watershed at the
source of navigable rivers is a negli^
gible factor in the maintenance of
navigability.

BARELY MISSED DEATH.
Lightning Struck Commissioner Watson's
Office.
The records of the department of
agriculture for the past five years
came very near being destroyed late
Saturday night when a bolt of lightning
struck the state house at Columbia
and passed down a ventilation
pipe to the office of Commissioner
Watson.
The Commissioner had just left
his desk and would have been instantly
killed had he been seated.
The pipe comes from the top of the
building and passes down one corner
of the room. Here are located
the records of the office in shelves.
The shelves are of wood. All wires
in the office were burnt out.
. Just before the bolt struck Commissioner
Watson left the office and
walked to Main street to a drug
store. On going out into the street,
he saw a mass of flames in his office.
He rushed to the scene and
with the assistance of a water cooler
extinguished the fire.
First Wife Deserts.
Kingstree, April 18.?There have
been some recent developments in the
case of A. W. Phelps, the man who
was married here on Easter Sunday.
As will be recalled, a former wife
showed up and the father of the
young woman placed a warrant in the
hands of the sheriff. ^
Ever since Phelps has been lying
in the Kellahan hotel with a stroke
of paralysis. Yesterday wife No. 1,
who has been nursing him, left for
her home in North Carolina.
To-day Sheriff Graham wired asking
the governor whether to arrest
Phelps or not. The governor referred
the case to Solicitor Stoll.

it is understood he will be placed in
jail in the near future.
Want Carlisle to Enter.
Spartanburg, April 18.?Following
the announcement that Richard
I. Manning Vill not enter the race
for governor this summer, it is understood
here, to-night, that a number
of friends of Senator Howard B.
Carlisle will call on him to-morrow
and urge him to become a candidate
fbr governor. Senator Carlisle is a
young man of ability and has rendered
valuable service to his county
and the State in the senate. Whether
he will enter the race is not
known, but he will certainly be urged
to do so, and his friends believe he
will be elected.
STORM DAMAGE LARGE.
a
Only Two Houses in Woodland Es?
cape Injury and Some Demolished.
Talbotton, Ga., April 17.?Although
practically every building in
the town of Woodland near here was
damaged by the terrific wind and hail
storm which struck that city yesterday
only one person, Jack A Brady
was injured. He was painfully
though not seriously hurt. Reports
from the surrounding country greatly
increase the property damage and
say that many horses, cows and other
Live stock were killed by falling
trees.
The storm begair early in the afternoon
and continued with gathering
intensity until after midnight.
Several buildings were almost totally
destroyed, while many more were unroofed
and otherwise damaged. Only
two residences in the town escaped
damage. It is impossible at this
time to estimate the loss in Woodland
alone while the damage to timber
and growing crops will be large.
The city school building, the Baptist
church and a drug store were totally
demolished while 22 other
buildings were badly damaged. Some
of them will have to be rebuilt.
Almost without exception the residents
lost all their household goods
and many are homeless and in distress.
Buildings only slightly dam
aged in comparison were leit m sucn
a condition v that their entire contents
were ruined by the wind, rain
and hail.
Mayor W. T. Smith to-day issued
a statement, calling on the outside
world for aid.N
That more were not injured is "regarded
as miraculous as for hours
debris and wreckage filled the air.
Many narrow escapes from injury
were reported. A peculiar freak of
the wind was that it is believed to
have carried away several negro children.
They disappeared during the
storm and a diligent search for them
to-day was in vain.
Burned in Effigy.
Governor Patterson was burned in
effigy at Athens. Tenn., Thursday
night, this as an expression of disapproval
of the pardon of Col. Duncan
B. Cooper immediately after the
State Supreme Court had affirmed his
sentence or zu years in prison iui
the murder of Senator E. W. Carmack.
There is much feeling in Athens
over the pardon.
LOCOMOTIVE EXPLODED.
. , ' j* '
Eleven Men Lose Their Lives by the
Explosion.
When an ant+quated locomotive
exploded in the yards of the National
Railway of Mexico at Monterey
Saturday, eleven of the employes of
the road were blown into eternity.
Two others were horribly injured but
it ie ovnoofoH that thpv will rponvpr
The fatal screwing down of the
safety valve on the engine after it
had been run out of the round house
caused the explosion. Engineer
Monaghan, who was killed, noted
that his steam gauge was not working
properly, after he left the round
house and a mechanic, identity unknown,
climbed to the boiler deck to
examine the safety valve.
An instant later fragments of human
bodies and twisted bits of the
ponderous engine were hurled high
in the air. The front end of the
boiler was blown more than a hundred
feet down the track, leaving
death in its wake.
Foreign Missionary Society.
The Woman's Foreign Missionary
Society of the Methodist church has
reached the point where she realizes
that investment in printers' ink pays
well, therefore she has determined
to act upon the suggestion of one of
her most interested members and
have a press correspondent to constantly
keep before the public what,
in God's strength and goodness, she
has accomplished and intends to perform
in the days which lie out in the
future.
We have not always felt that each
and every one of our members has
been as loyal as she could and should
have been?if we had been why,
friends, there is no estimating the
real good we might have done. Let
us catch somewhat the spirit of the
Master and link our efforts, however
feeble, with those of our members
who constitute "the faithful few"
and we will see the work of the
Lord prospering in our hands. Are
we not prone to not realize that
Christ has in deed and in truth the
missionary spirit? This is what
brought him away from the heart of
our loving, merciful Father. Oh!
let .us study missions as we have
never studied missions before; let
us pray for and give to this blessed
work as we have never prayed and
given before.
When I realize that missions is
nearest the heart of our Saviour himself
and that he came into this world
of sin and woe in order that He
might lift humanity closer to the
father-heart of God, and that he died
for everyone, surely, for this reason,
if for no other, we should obey the
command which has sounded down
the ages: "Go ye into all the world
and preach the gospel to every creature."?St.
Mark 16-15. If we are
willing to let our Master bse us in
the extension of His kingdom have
an intense love for souls. Do not
be discouraged in this glorious work,
but remember Christ died for poor,
sinful humanity and is depending
on you and me to carry into their
lives and hearts the gospel message
of glad tidings. We do need to have
much prayerful, united effort this
year in order that our beloved work
shall take on still greater life, and
"go forward." God needs you in this
work but you need Him far more.
Our Father does not do for us what
we can do for ourselves, but He gives
us His grace which is sufficient for
our every need. If He requires human^
instrumentality to help Him
to evangelize the world, then surely,
He requires you and I to study missions
so that we may have our interest
in same intensified to such an extent
that we will pray daily and believingly
for the workers in the
home-land and for the devoted, faithful
missionaries in the foreign fields.
Then, too, we will give lives of active,
consecrated service and money
to the point of self-denial. Come out
to our monthly meetings, iney are
interesting and so helpful. Won't
you come up to the help of the Lord?
Join hands and co-operate the one
with the other so that we may have-'
a splendid society which shall tell
for great good. Plan to give your
time, "labor and strength for one
afternoon each month by attending
the meeting and putting your very
self into it. Then remember we are
commanded thus: "Ask of me, and
I shall give thee the heathen for
thine inheritance, and the uttermfost
parts of the earth for thy possession."'?Psa.

TWO BALES TO THE ACRE.
Some Simple Rules Showing: How
Can be Done.
From an exchange we get tb
which should interest farmers:
There are a few farmers in tl
county that are going to plant f
two bales of cotton to the acr
That is the plan to pursue. He wl
never attempts a gfeat achieveme
will do only little, commonpla
things. These one acre tests a
good, but far from the best. Su
pose a dozen or more farmers shou
take choice lots, four to eight acre
and work for two bales to the acr
That would try their real skill.
Take a five-acre lot as an exampl
Of course the land should be got
to begin with. Break it well whi<
means going two inches deeper th*
plowed heretofore. If stable and 1
manure are used, scatter broadca
before bedding. Then apply foi
hundred pounds of fertilizer in tl
drill before bedding, mining it wii
the soil by running a furrow in tl
row. Throw up a flat bed. That wi
be a good start. The next Step is
secure improved seed which ha-1
been carefully selected.
The rows should be four fe
apart and if a little^ wider it mig]
be better. If they are four and
half feet wide and the plants tv
feet apart, there will be 4,840 stall
to the acre. Allow to missing hil
and poor stalks and say 4,500.
the stalks would make two- thirds i
n 9 ftAAfl A/\4fnn AinVt
a puuuu vi ac^u wnuu cavii, ti
two bales would be sure. Forty
sixty bolls of the larger varietb
would make that amount. It wou
require more of the small boiled v
rieties. In June apply 150 pouni
of fertilizer to one middle and
week or ten days later apply tl
same amount in the other. Tl
first to the tenth of June apply 1?
pounds* of nitrate of soda. Thus tl
whole amount of fertilizer wou
be two and a half tons and 7 J
pounds of nitrate of soda. The co
of the fertilizer would be $75 to $8
or about $15.50 an acre.
Now if any farmer has a bett<
and cheaper plan for making tv
bales to the acre we would like 1
have it for publication. It looks
little extravagant to put $80 worl
of fertilizer on five acres of be
land, but if the lot would make 1
bales of cotton it would be a good ii
vestment.
The same amount of fertilizer c
3
a second grade land ought to make
bale and a half. If a farmer
reaching up after three bales to tl
acre, ne should use 1,000 pounds <
fertilizer and 250 pounds of nitra
of soda. If one of our hustling farr
ers will make 15 bales on five acn
we will proclaim him cotton king <
the country.
