But, you see, ( ma'am, a little bird whispered to rne that her future husband's a man of ; violent temper, and I thought I'd send her something that would be 1 useful in case of family disputes. She 1 has the straightest aim with a flatiron I ever seed!" 1 NEGROES HELJ) OVER KILLING. Negro Man and Woman in Jail Regarding Death of Henry Smoak. Maggie Jones, alias Maggie Thomas. and Robert Dixon, negroes, who reside near Branchville, were placed in the county jail yesterday in connection with the killing several weeks ago of Henry Smoak, whose body was found on the road about a mile from Branchville. These parties, it was stated, are suspected of having some knowledge of the killing. They were brought to the jail from Branchville, after having been arrested by Magistrate Walter Dukes there, by Rural Policeman Sinkler Boone. According to Mr. Boone they denied to him any knowledge of the circumstances of the death of Mr. Smoak. It was in the direction of the home of Maggie Jones, it is said, that Mr. Smoak is supposed to have gone some hours prior to the killing. Robert Dixon is said to have been a frequent / visitor to the home of this woman. Mr. Smoak's dead body was found on the road during the early part of the night, having apparently been killed by a blow on the head with a deadly instrument. Investigations have been pursued since the fateful night and several clues are being followed. The victim was watchman for the Southern railroad at Branchville. He was known as a quiet and unassuming citizen.?Orangeburg Times and Democrat. ^ < ? wm PLANT PEANUTS. A Valuable Crop Even With Prevailing Low Prices. A Denmark reader of The Herald enas m tne ionowing clipping: The condition now existing in the world of business, farniing as well is manufacturing, cannot be cured now by further waiting for some great change to take place. Every [nan must do his part, and the farmer, the balance-wheel of the world of industry, cannot hope to see business return to its normal basis until he sets to work to perform his importint task, and the sooner he realizes :his the sooner will business be on :he upward march. One of the most important questions now confronting ;he agriculturist is "What shall I slant that will with reasonable cer:ainty bring me in the greatest revelue?" It is a matter that should be ?iven careful consideration. Let us, 'or a moment, consider that with the sver-production of cotton and the jnormous surplus carried over for the )ast two seasons, there is little that jould be expected from this source luring the year 1911. Therefore, it vould seem to me, that the safest course to pursue at this time would )e to turn attention largely to pealuts, as there is certainly less probab lity of suffering loss on peanuts as hey can be utilized for so many and varied purposes; and besides, if they ire properly harvested, they will keep .'or a long time in good condition, 't is perfectly natural for the farm*rs throughout the south to be somevhat undecided, on account of the ow prices that have prevailed on the 1920 crop, as to whether it will be or tlheir best interest to plant peamts to any great extent this season, .'t is the opinion of a great many 'armers in this section that even if he prices are low, the peanut crop is i greater revenue producer than some of the other staple crops, such is cotton and tobacco. I would not idvise growing peanuts only, as it s always safer to diversify the crops; Dut I do advise that peanuts play a arge part in the diversification where he soil is adapted to their growth. The heavy importation of peanuts *rom the Orient during 1920 was the *- - in nost patent factor in tne uwimc iu trices: but with the almost absolute ?ertainty of a prohibitive tariff on peanuts and peanut oil, there is ?very reason to believe that the 19 21 mop will be in good demand, and at easonably good prices. Surely the peanut market is not )ermanently crippled, for the valuible properties contained in pealuts, both as a food product for luman consumption and as a feed for stock, ar? too well known for the denand to cease. Furthermore, vast ind varied experiments have reveal?d the fact that the peanut contains properties vet to be discovered, as ?ach experiment brings to light some lew and hidden properties before unknown. I unhesitatingly say?"Plant Peanuts.'* Reason Why. Marmaduke Brown was on a busiiess trip, staying at all sorts of ho:els. One morning while he was still in 3ed he heard a knock at his bedroom loor and a boyish voice saying: "Please, sir, here's a telegram for you!" "All right!" said Marmaduke, not' wishing to get out of bed. "Slip it I under the door." "I can't," came the reply. "It's Dn a tray!" j WILL ATTEND CONFERENC E, j Rainberg Officers Invitefl to Address I Welfare Meeting in Orangeburg.

Sir Aukland Geddes, the British ambassador, said at a dinner: "I as a Canadian and you as Americans have great advantage over the English? the advantage of accent. Americans and Canadians all speak alike, but in' England the rich have one accent j and the poor another. Yes, the accent of the English is poor and shab- j by and ugly as their homes or clothes. Once, in a London board school, 1 questioned the boys a bit. I took up the question of the cow. The boys, in their dreadful accent, told me that the cow's hide was used for boots and its flesh for meat. Then I asked: 'And what do we use the horns for?'! 'For hornaments, sir,' said a boy promptly." ? ? ? Capt.

Anderson, March 30.?In police court today there was a trial which I ; caused considerable interest, being ; that of Kenneth Cheshire, charged jwith carrying concealed weapons, fighting and disorderly conduct. The Rev. Witherspoon Dodge testified I that when he was assisting a woman ! into a car Tuesday afternoon he was attacked from behind and struck in the back of the head. Mr. Dodge stated that he did not know who his ; assailant was at the time he was hit, and that brass knucks were used. Young Cheshire offered no defense, pleading guilty to the charges, and was fined $35. This assault was made by young Cheshire as a vindication to his father's memory. Mr. Dodge preached a sermon two Sundays ago, in which he used as his subject "The Lesson From the Life of Vic Cheshire." Many complimentary things were said about the deceased editor, but the family took umbrage to some parts of the sermon. Mr. Dodge gave the substance of his sermon in a local paper, and the application which he had made, but his did not satisfy the son, who is 19 years of age. Mr. Dodge is not seriously injured, although painfully hurt, and was taken to a local hospital to have the wounds treated. Read The Herald, $2 per year. NOTICE OP FINAL DISCHARGE.
