People Warned Not to Plant too Much Cotton and Urged to Build Grain riniroln. A..? uavwatui ? uiuuym vu? Some Startling Facts. Prof Stratton delivered an address explaining the establishment and building of grain elevators. He said the cost of handling of grain was about two cents a bushel, whereas the old way cost about six cents per bushel to handle it. It costs about 4 cents a bushel to husk corn by hand, by machinery is reduced to 2 1-2 to 3 cents. The principle thing in marketing grain is to have it clean and dry. You then get the top of the market. Small grain elevators may he built of wood or concrete; they cost from $2,500 on up. When grain is brought to the elevator you simply drive up on your wagon and without getting off the grain is carried to the machinery. The cost of handling per bushel is ahout 3-4 of a cent; to this cost the cleaning will be added. In operating the grain elevator of small size, say one to carry one hundred thousand bushels per annum, you will need one man at a salary of $75 per month and occasionally an ordinary laborer will have to be add?d during the harvest season. It will cost around $8,000 to erect a complete plant. Prof. Smith was next introduced and showed the value of grading the various grains and gave detailed information as to certain plants now in operation. He spoke of one in which he was personally interested which cost $11,000 and showed that the matter or freight alone would pay handsome dividends on the invested capital. The prices would be controlled ^bv the Charleston-New York markets _ and as he figured it out there would always be a profit of six cents per ' . bushel. If eighty farmers would put up , ?100 each you woulj* hjtve your elevator, or if eighty farmers will pledge thema^ves^to^deliver tl^first season ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^hesaicl the farmers alone owned stock and that no man was allowed to own over fiVe shares. If In the operation of yout elevator and you set aside 4c per bushel and 2c pays for handling then 2c per bushel will be profit. I advise that such ? ?1 a ? 1-2 1-2 a fjiaiiu ui&utii u murium*. There is 4 cents per bushel difference between stacked and bulk corn. The one crop system is not the most profitable system. Rock Hill has recently discovered that alfalfa is more profitable than cotton, consequently, they have planted ei^ht hundred acres in alfalfa this year. You must use your other crops to suoport your cotton, just as a star football player is backed up by other, even weaker uen. It has been discovered from actual investigation that there must be a four crop system to >ret the best results. Five combined do not show as well as four. There may be for in stance, corn, hay, wheat and dairvinc as the four major enterprises on the] farm. Or there may be cotton, corn, oats and wheat. Or there may be cotton, corn, oats and ho^s. But anyway there must be four major crops. A man in Georgia had a two hundred acre farm; he made four thousand dollars net, plus eifrht uer cent on his investment one year under the four system idea. South Carolina has 21 acres to the mule in cultivation. The gross returns are $r>09 per work animal for last year's yield. Suppose we allow seven acres to the mule in cotton, six acces in corn, six acres in oats and hay and by readjustment the cost of Vour fertilizer will be reduced; labor win t>e reaucea ana you may use your extra labor saved in clearing up and getting ready for cultivation, new ground. Seven years from today the war will have made me richer, if I live, for it has forced me to these methods. Wheat does best on red clay, while oats thrive best on sandy soil. A dozen farmers should unite in buying farm machinery to handle grain; such a combination could buy a binder and thresher. You can get machines on two or three years time and your increased profits will more than pay for these machines. There are only 40,000 acres of wheat grown in the whole State of South Carolina. Smut can be eradicated largelv I soaking in a weak solution of formal dehyde while this treatment is almost specific in eradicating smut from oats. Commissioner E. J. Watson was the next speaker.

RTS ?OKE FRIDAY DYNAMITERS NOW ON TRIAL For Storming Spartanburg Jail in an Etfort to Take Prisoner. . New history for South Carolina courts was made when the famous "jail dynamiting ease," which developed in Spartanburg on the night of August 18, 1913, during the attempt of an angry mob to batter down the walls of the county jail to secure the person of Will Fair, a negro held for criminal assault, was opened for trial in the court of general sessions today with three of the seven alleged la^uuiiiitcrs unut'i niuiuiment?#JCSSC Wolfe, Robert Ward and Horace Finch?present. W. R. Belcher answered through his attorney. Robert Wilson, O. M. Thigpin and Gus Ford failed to appear. The two latter, ae- , cording to the records in the case, have not been arrested and their \ whereabouts are unknown. The defendants are well known in the city. , Horace Finch was a candidate for the legislature in the memorable cam- , paign of last summer. The indictment in the case charges that Jesse Wolft, Robert Ward, Horace Finch and W. R. Belcher et al, on the night of August 18, 101:5, committed an assault and battery upon ( Sheriff W. J. White and Police Cantain R. C. Hall on the first count, and on the second count they are charged with riot, in violation of the criminal 1 statutes of the State. The trial of the men alleged to have been among the leaders in : storming the jail was ready to be ' presented today after an investiga- * tion of more than fifteen months by the Spartanburg county grand juryassisted by Solicitor Hill, Sheriff W. J. White and the members of the sheriff's posse, who delivered to the ' I i ?:j > > Kiauu juiy cviui'liie upon wmcu irue bills were returned against the seven accused men. The investigation of the case was exhaustive and according to statements today the end is not ' yet. The grand jury has evidence in- ! criminating others in the attempt to bftttar down the jail walls, which may tte presented before Foreman Qucrry retires from office. i Case Which Led to Trouble. Will Fair, a negro eighteen years of age, was arrested at the Southern ' depot at 5 o'clock on the afternoon of August 19, 1913, and lodged in 1 the county jail as a suspect in the alleged criminal assault committed upon a young white woman of White Stone on the morning of the same , day. The man answered to the descriptions given by the woman, and later in the state penitentiarv v;hi> ?i? lected this negro from among five others who were lined up for her inspection. When the case was called for trial before Judge Gage at the November, 1913, term of court, the woman and other witnesses testified for the state. A full day was conusmed in hearing the testimony. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict 1 of "not guilty," and the negro whom the angry mob would have secured from the custody of Sheriff White, was allowed his freedom.?Spartanburg Journal.
