STATI IAN LEWIS
GETS SENTENCE
arguments Made for a New
Trial Friday Morning
and Refused
The sentence of Nathan E. Lewis,
ho was tried last week for tlie kill
ig of Memory Booth, was deferred
y the court until Friday morning,
hen a motion for a new trial was
rgued by his attorneys.
They made a powerful plea fo?:
leir client, stating among othei
lings that Lewis was on his owi
remises when this deplorable affaii
10k place; that he did not have to
?treat, but could stand his ground;
nit no one on earth saw what ocurred
at the killing except the debased
who was now dead and the
efendant himself, and that there
as bound to be raised a reasonable
oubt upon the whole case that defendant
was guilty of any crime,
hey spoke of his life which would
e ruined by a long sentence on the
ang or in the penitentiary, and that
to ruining of his life would not
ring back the other man to his
ome which had been wrecked.
The court lectured the defendant,
fter refusing tho motion for the ne.\
ial, and said that the court would
o the best it could in passing iudp*ient.
The sentence was six year?
t hard labor.
This, ended one of the most inter
fating cases ever tried before an
forry jury. There was a powerful
ght made against the defendant
nd an equally strong effort made t >
f<juit him.

GROWERS MAKE
FINAL DRIVE
The campaign of tobacco farmers
for new signers to the five-year marketing
contract is again in full swing
throughout South Carolina.
In accordance with the statement
of W. E. Lea of Florence, member of
the campaign committee, South Carolina
though well over the minimum
sign-up, with 31,000.000 pounds, has
set its goal in the present drive at a
To per cent statewide sign-up with
every prospect of success in securing
an overwhelming majority.
* With well over half of the tobacco
growers in three states as members
of the marketing association and with
Go,000 farmers now signers of the
five-year contract South Carolina
leads off in the final membership
campaign before the opening of the
tobacco markets.
Contracts arc now in the hands of
county chairmen, county agents and
other local and county leaders 01 me
Growers' Co-operative Association in
South Carolina.
The same men who won the great
victory and brought about the majority
sign-up of this state's tobacco
farmers into their present solid marketing
association will carry on this
final drive, which is the last call for
tobacco growers who wish to choose i
between the old system of speculative
sales and the kind of marketing which
has. brought success and better prices
in a single year to organized growers
in Canada, Virginia and Kentucky.
The quota and standing of this
state's tobacco growing counties was
published in last week's papers and
South Carolina growers are expecting
to set a fast jvice in winning new
members as they lead otV the sign-up
campaign for three states.
Next week a series of important
mass meetings beginning on Wednesday*.
Mrnvh 22. will rarrv the cum
paign to the centers of the tobacco
growing area.
Le/iders of the marketing movement
from Virginia and North Carolina will
take part in this (hive. The times,
places and speakers for these meetings
will ho announced in the paper
hy letters to members of the marketing;
association.

ANDERSON CO.
SPLENDID WORK
Clemson College, March 10.?Comity
Agent S. M. Byars of Anderson
has launched his boys' club work for
the year with a total enrollment of
around 100. Th6 membership is distributed
among- four organized communities,
Lebanon, White Plains,
Long- Branch and Townville. Thv
work is being conducted through tin*
school as a center in each of the
communities. Officers have heen elected
in each of the clubs and much enthusiasm
is reported.
TW* Townville school has the distinction
of basing the largest enrollment
reported in any school fn thestate
to date, topping the" high minibei
forty. This school also has
the distinction of landing the first
organized bee cfub among the soys in
the state, with eleven members enrolled.
Mr. Byars will instruct tlm
boys in the proper care and irrelfxds.
of handling bees, and ar.iv>?r.?h the
youmrsters are going into bee keeping
on a small scale it is believed
they will learn the princiinvolved
and that this will lead to a more general
use of bees on the farms of that,
sect ion.
The boys of the Long Branch school,
also have organized a bee club, fol?
lowinv the p!ai set fortl i?\ County
Agent Byars.
These communities of Anderson
county have begun a good work
which no doubt will lead to valuable
results in the future. The boys wifl
meet once a month at the school with
the county agent, who will give them
instructions and information concei r.*ing
their work. After this has br-en
done the group wifl engage in recreation
and sports for their amusement,

ESSENTIALS OF
DAIRY FARMING
Clomson College, March 10.?The
important essentials of dairy farming
are cows, feed, equipment, and (he
man-savs I. R Jones, assistant dairyman
of Clems?Jtt College, in discussing
the fundamentals of dairy farming,
which is now attracting increased attention
in this state. Unless these
four essentials are given proper attention
dairy (aiming is not likely to
prove successful. %
I. The cows on a successful dairy
farm must he producers and not
hoarders. A dairy cow has ono purpose,
which is to produce, and this
the cows of the recognized dairy
breds do more profitably. If the cost
of feed, pasture, and labor of scrub
cattle wore carefully determined and
compared with the value of the milk
