C., APRIL 1, 1915 c leanup Week The citizens of Pickens are asked to read the proclamation of His Excel lency Gov. Richard I. Manning and fall in line. The secretary of the state board of health hgs called upon every community to get its mind off of the war and hard times by joining in a lively campaign and celebrate cleanup week April 5-11. The chairman of our local board has closely followed and the city council is ready to lend every effort to clean up and make beautiful our town. Practically every community in the state is making preparations for cleaning uO during that week. Will the people of Pickens not be as zealous in this good work as the people of other communities? The health of this community is at stake and the protection against fire is incalculable. Can not the business men and county official be persuaded to take some interest in this matter? As a matter of economy in the county government . would it not be well to have some place to store the machinery when hot in use, rather than leave it exposed to the wind and rain? No pros perous farmer would leave his tools in such condition. Nature has done Much for Pickens, and if man would lend his aid this could be made one of the most beautiful spots in the state. Swat the fly. The -owners of vacant lots are asked to have them cleaned up next week. Your premisea will be inspected by a - committee of ladies after cleanup week. Why hot move that piece of road ma chinery which has been on Main street for a year? If fire were to break out in the rear of the busiiess houses on Main street, where there is an accumulation of trash and some gasoline stored, the business sedtion would go up in smoke. . The, patrons of the Pickens graded school would do well in a united effort to renovate the auditorium. It is not only in a most unsanitary condition, but there is great danger of the plastering falling. Why not have a cleanup day and get this in good condition before commencement? A Few Hints. on Fertilizer Under the present financial conditions now is the time for the farmyes to look out for 'their own interests. We can save a large per cent on our fertilizer this year by paying cash, as I have previously pointed out to you. The followingd are some prices, delivered anywhere on the Southern railroad and at Pickens, in car lots. Sixteen per cent acid will be 37 cents per ton more delivered at Pickens, being shipped from Greenville. All other goods same price it both places: 10-2 acid, $13.50. 16 per cent acid, $10.75 on Southern; $11.12 at Pickens. 8-3-3 meal, fish animal ammoniated, $24. S8--2.-1, field crops, $21.50. 9.20-2-2, standard mixture, $20.50. Soda, $46.68. These goods are all bagged and tagged Sand aguaraniteed under Clemsoni Oollege analyses. 49 Buy guano by- analysis and not by name, and- be sure and find out from what source -the ammonia is derived. Cotton seed meal and blood and tankage and fish scraps are all fine. - ot detailed information see T. B. Higgins at Easley or A. M. Morris at *Pickens.

European War Notes tussmia is now j'lanning to cross the Carpathians and completely cripple the dual monarchy of Austria-Hunga ry. The fate of this Teutonic nation is said to be hanging in the balance and entirely depends upon the out come of this Muscovite invasion. The Berlin war office admits this is one of the most critical blows of the Whole war. British airmen have been success fil in a raid on Hoboken, near Ant werp, where they made an aerial bom. bardiment of the German troops en camped there. "01n to Cracow" is nowr the cry of the Russian armies since encouraged by their victory at Przemyti, taen af ter a seveni month siege. The Petro. grad war office is determined to crush the Austriani power in Plurope and to annihilate the southern Teutonic forces. Over fourteen thousand pris oners have been taken in the last few weeks. Italy is said to be actively prepar. ing to enter tile war so as to begin hostilities about May 1 or as soon as tile weather will permit the passage of troops across the Austrian border into Trente. Premier Salandra is plan 11ning a big naval bombardment on the Adriatic. Austria is carefully watch ing the preparations, and is said to be planning the capture of Venice. Russia is rejoicing over the Petro. grad war office's announcement that after a siege of seven months the Aius trian fortress at Przemysl has fallen and 50,000 prisoners have fallen into the iands of the Muscovite army. Church chimes in every important city and town in iuropean Russia rang the air of the national anthem. Addressing the house of commons, Sir EIdward Grey, tile English foreign minister, declared war is what cr. many w'nted and that the present sruggle could have been entirely avoided had the hot-headed Teutons only been willing to hold( a conference to settle all the disputes, Hie blames the entire situaitioni on the kaiser's governmen t. Berlin declares thant at tile pres ent time 810,000- soldiers of the Anglo-French and Russian forces are nowv held as prisoners by the Gem' mans. A Belgian relief ship plying bet-ween Bruges and London was attacked by a German submarine and shat ter'ed. Mulheim, in the duchy of Badeni Ba den, was bombarded in an aerial at tack by a French aviator. Bombs were dropped on the city and the barracks, wopnding several soldiers.

Pickens county, was. shot and probably fatally wouided last 'Monday by his son, Paul Kelley. It-seems that the elder Kelley makes his home with his son. Monday morn. ing the younger man left.home and was away all day. Upon returning home it is said he found his wife sitting by the fire sobbing and that she said that h'er father-in-law had been cursing and abusing her during the day. It is re ported that the older man had been drinking during the day and when his son asked him for an explanation of his conduct the father mide for a shotgun and threatened to kill both his.son and his wife. One report says Paul rushed into another room and secured a gun and another says he he took the gun from his father. At any rate the young man' shot his father thru the right thigh. A pocket knife and several nails were driven into the flesh and the wound is an ugly one. The leg would have been amputated, but Mr. Kelley is uin - able to stand the operation, according to; the attending physicians. The affair is very regrettable. The son has not been arrested, but is al lowed to remain at home for the pres ent and assist in waiting upon his father. He greatly deplores the tragedy. Mr. Kelley is not expected to live long. It is reported here today that the wounded man has signed a statement in which he says that his son was justi fled in shooting him and acted in self defense.
