Jiff, THURSDAY. AUGUST 19. LIFE OF ROEBUCK YOUTH IS SAVED BY HEROIC ACT "* Toy Tucker Badly Burned Before Rescued by Morgan STEPPED ON 'LIVE* WIRE Presence of Mind of Companion Saves Life Probably Troy Tucker, 19 year old Roebuck youth, was critically burned by a ??, live-wire within about 100 yards of his home about G: 30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. In a heroic effort to save the boy's life, Aaron Morgan, of the same community, sustained minor burns on the hands and feet. -Severely Burned The youth was taken to the Mary Black clinic immediately after the accident, where it was found that he had been severely burned about the hands and arms. His lef leg was also badly burned. His condition was considered critical at a late hour last nigth. He may lose his right hand and several fingers on the Ileft hand. According to Aaron Morgan, whose presence of mind in the incident is what saved the youth from immediate electrocution, lie and Toy Tucker a brother of the injured man. had j been to aystore nearby and were returning. Toy Tucker had also been to the store, hut was some distance behind them. Notice Fallen Pole ! When tjhey started to cross the|| road Roy and Morgan noticed that!, one of the poles which horp high-1, voltage wires for the South Carolina , Gas & Electric Company, had fallen h to the ground and the wires were ly- | ing across their path. .., I "Don't step on them," Morgan ( says, he stated. "They are probably , charged." , Both he and Roy escaped the wires i but Toy who was coming Irehind never saw one i>f the wires, which , was hidden in the grass. The cur- j j rent knocked the youth several feet i in the air, and he fell back across | one of them. .j Badly Stunned The youth was so badly stunned I by the high current of electricity |1 that he was unable to disengage him-ji self from the wire and was suffering ' I agonies when Morgan cam,, to his I' assistance. He caught Ttick< r hy the heels but the current knocked his hob) lose. Undanted. Morgan made a second attempt This time h,. snc-1 ceeded in dragging the boy free from the wire, hut lie himself, had i suffered painful |>urns about the ? hands and feet. SIDNEY LANIER (From Spartanburg Herald) The Ashevillo Citizen commends , the placing of a memorial tablet at Calvary Church. mid way between i Asheville and Hctidesonville. to Sid- | ney Lanier, the pool. The Citizen j says: "Marks the locality where the poet rested on his life's journey. His remains are elsewhere; it was elsewhere perhaps that his poems were chiefly written, but it was here he lived. Here was a stage of his travel, j an important pause, and it is meant ; that the place should be marked, for Sidney Lanier is destined to greater fame as a poet than has yet been | accorded him. Time seems neces- | sary in some cases to ripen apprecia- I tion?Edgar Allen I'oe, now accllaman outstanding genius among American poets, was for long neglected. Sidey Lanier's place; of course, is not that of a Milton. His verse is not tuned to the majestic and sonorous,, although dramatic quality is not lacking as instance "The Marshes of Glynn," where blood-red visions of evi lfie like the illusions of a tragic stage, Lanier is rather the type of a Wads worth or a Bryant, one who in the love of nature holds communion with the fields and woods, the trees and flowers. There Is a hint of Tennyson in some of Lanier's verse?there Is no lack of resemblance between "The Brook,' fretting many a fairy foreland set with willow weeds and the "Song of the Chattahoochee." Note the haunting picturing the stream on its seaward course: All down the hills of Habersham, .. All through the valleys of Hall, The rushes cried. "Abide, Abide." The willful waterweeds held me thrall The laving laurel turned my tide, The ferns and the foundling grass said "Stay."

THE CANNING FACTORIES COMING # From The Charlotte Observer) Tlie pencil interests centered, arouud Hamlet are started old "in the right direction." "Tousand of bushels of peaches a day arc being canned at Mprston," The Hamlet News remarks and much of the surplus crop in the section is going to be saved, to the crowding out of canned poaches from other dates from the home markets. The encouraging feature is that the canning industry around Hamlet, begun a few years ago on an experimental scale lias prospered to such an extent as to justify expenditures in enlargement of factories and building of new plants. The experience of the Sand Hill Canning company is submitted as a case point. It is going to enlarge its plant, at Marsden and build an additional plant at Cognac. This company, started fiw years ago with $C,000 paid in capital .....1 W V?nc* r% i\)nruiii:i] V: I 111:11 j ( ) 11 ill I ll it liv/vv uao ix of $14,000, with an established and a growing trade. The promo"' i> It lieve the time is at hand for development of " a real canning industry" and is proposing a capital stock of $250,000. The Marat on plant expects (his season to can as a? many as IS.000 bushels. The importance of more c.-lnning factories in that section is indicated by the fact that the established factories are scarcely capable of taking care of the surplus crop, while next year wil| see several thousand additional tr-os come into bearing. With coming factories sufficient to take cue of he commercial orchards and canning factories established in home; and communities. North Carolina will make more money from the salvaged crop than from the peaches market .'(1 at homo and outside. It was a Cabarrus county follow named Query who established the fame of the sand-hills canned article. Il?> carried a can opener around ?ith liim and had an ever-ready hauler for the merchant who was inclined to hesitate.

New Whitewash Formula Gives Durable Product Whitewash acts as a germicide by covering and cleansing the wall and celling surfaces, and for this reason is excellent in the poultry house, dairy barn, hog house, and other outbuild Ings. A new formula developed with ,n rnAon * wonro fflvoa Q nTOfl UPf iCVVUV ^VU*U O ' ' ? B" ~ ~ ? which closely approaches paint In durability. The old-fashioned whitewash la made of quicklime and water mixed In the proportions of one pound of lime to one gallon of water. This has the disadvantage of being not very durable and of rubbing off badly on the clothing of workers. The New Jersey College of Agriculture advises that whitewash may be made durable, hard, glossy, and practlcully waterproof by the addition of salt, alum and sulphate of sine. Such o mlwfnen (a Krtfh IntoHnr a luiAiuic ta gwu ?vi wv? it ud exterior use. To make It, 1 bushel {62 lbs.) of quicklime la slacked In 12 gallons of hot water. Then another solution Is made up of the following: 1 pound of sulphate of zinc, 1 pound of alum, 2 pounds of suit, dissolved In 2 gallons of boiling water. These two solutions are then mixed together and 2 gallons of skimmed milk are added. Keep the mixture thoroughly stirred while applying. Most Successful Method for Controlling Weeds Now /Is the time to destroy the weeds. Do not wait until they have taken the field, bit get out the harrow and kill them before they get the root started. Every weed that Is permitted to get a start takes some of the essential food elements that might be used In producing healthy, strong stalks of wheat or corn. It Is pretty well established that die man who delays his fight against weeds until about all of them get inch or more In height Is decreasing ibe yield of his crop. The more successful method of controlling the weed crop is to not delay until all the weed seed are germl > .. .1 l i a k.

Eggs From Peldn Ducks Used Most for Hatching Ducks may be fed on the rations recommended for chickens, but better results are usually secured by feeding more green and vegetable feeds and e larger proportion of mash. Eggs from Pekln ducks are used largely for batching, and the profit Is secured in J 1_11_ ? . 1L producing green uucuiuis; uicreiun these ducks are fed a maintenance ration after they stop laying In the summer until about December 1, when laying ration Is given and the amount of mash Increased.

TO SELL, IT MUST CATCH THE EYE (From Spartanburg Herald) A veteran randy salesman said: "If I made the candy I have to sell. I'd color it all red." Ilis reason was that people Iny pretty tilings to eat. more readily than any other kind, and this tendency is even stronger in he sale of other commodities. Some years ago a small town merchant used to rim a shoe string through a turnip, apple, orange, cucumber, onion ami one of whatever else he was stocked with, and hang them outside his pale, and was not even careful to select good specimens. It seemed common sense that his customers could infer that lie had an hand what lie hung; at the front, ind it was. ntnil a Syrian fruit dealer moved next door.

A story is vouched for by a ocal automobile owner of how he Irove a muddy car to a dealer's paripe and asked how much he would allow on it in selling a new car. \ price was named and the customer Irove home, had his car washed, reurned to the auto merchant and isked: "How much for this one?"

For tile Past several weeks, Caplain Smathers and his campaign manager, Geo. M. Priehard of Asheville, have been laying plans for this campaign. It is understood that three and four speeches are to be made each (Jay, a different precinct to visited morning, afternoon, and j night. In 190.S a similiar campaign was t waged by th,? Republican Nominee, 1 oil 11 Grant, who was elected to Congress by a large majority. Again in 19H James J. Jtritt waged a similar campaign and was elected by a I large majority.
