Wallace, formerly of York county, lint for many years a resident of Garland, Texas, back on a visit to his brother, J. (', Wallace, ninl other relatives and friends for the first time since l!"i7. Mr. Wallace is a son of John K. Wallace, who was for oitit years postmaster at Yorkville. lie drifted to Texas, settled near Garland, bought a farm and is raising cotton for a, living the same ns so many of our own people. Mr. Wallace is well pleased with tiis Texas home; but has nothing to sav in favor of the superior advantages of Texas over his old home. He sit-s hun dreds of people doing as well here as the-y would be doing in Texas, and thinks one country is about as good as the other. Asked as U the general condi tion of the farmers out his way, Mr. Wal lace said that- considerable quantities of cotton had been sold at from ,'ifi cent a pound down to about cents; but there were many fanners who still have all laHt year's crop and all of this year's crop on hand. Also he said that there are large quantities of cotton in the field unpicki d.

They lay right down in front of the barn door and they wouldn't move. We nfli-red them corn, but they wouldn't eat it. We don't know but wo have reason to believe they had been drinking still beer.'1 Hid I'ttl Mill or. w ell Know u Rock H ill business man and farmer, who has been missing from Ins home for the past two weeks ore more, meet with foul pla '.

He was last seen at King's Mountain, V I', and rt number of his friends are of the opinion that he was probably murdered and robbed of the balance of the money he had on his person. THE "BUMP" AT THE CROSSING. I 'hi. .-lot to Observer. .lodge llrown recently made deliver ance on the grade crossing tragedy and advocated enactment by the Legislature of a law making it a misdemeanor for any person to drive on a railroad track without first stopping and looking each way for a train. The law might make it a misdemeanor, but that is where it would stop. In order to bring about en forcement of such a law an i.tlicer would have to be stationed at every grade crossing in the State. There would be about the same degree of respect paid such a law as now paid the law govern ing speed and headlights. 1'liysienl means for bringing about safety at the crossing is the Lett, r hope. 1 f all coun ties should build bumps" at each ap proach to a crossing, vve would soon sis' :t marked sulisideme ,., grade crossing accidents.

Mavl.p there's no truth In the tra dltlon thnt 0irge Wellington one hid In the hollow trunk of the great chestnut tree that until recently stood In the front vufd of Charles F. Coy Tonkers. -New York. But folk there about believe he (lid. Just as they he lleve that the tree wag 700 or 80 years old when lt died a few years ago. and was the oldest and biggest tree of any variety not only In West chester county but In New York etate. The trunk, which was about 35 feet tall and about 35 feet In circumfer ence, according to Mr. Coy, was cut down by the department of public works of Yonkers. and Its dismem bered remains carted away Said Mr. C07: "Before lt died that tree produced the biggest and sweetest-tasting chestnuts I ever saw. After Its death a vine that covered lt made It still an object of beauty. Just as Its vast size and age made lt an object of ad mlrntlon. "The top was broken off about the time lt died. I never knew Its exact height. But I do know thnt a deal of tradition had grown up around lt and that lt commonly whs rated the larirest' tree in this part of the country. I aiu sure It was the biggest In this rounty." TO DESTROY INSECT PESTS Two Forms of Insecticides Necessary for Successful Protection of Plants and Foliage. Do not waste, your time spraying pnrls green on inserts thnt suck the Juices from plants and foliage, such ns lice, green, black and white aphis or fly. mealy bug, red spider and scale, by thrusting their proboscis Into the. leaf or stem, for tlnv are not affect ed by stomach poisons. They must be destroyed by contact Insecticides, Those In powder form kill by clos- ng the breathing pores In the Insect's -kin, or in fluid form by being ab sorbed through these pores, the Amer ican Forestry Magazine points out. be best contact Insecticides in pow er form are hellebore, slug shot and ibnceo dust. The best in fluid form are aphine. black leaf -10, tish (whale) oil soul), nicotine (tobacco extract), kerosene, inisclble oil and lemon oil. Insects thnt eat plants, foliage, vege tables, fruits, llowers, etc., whether bugs, beetles, . worms, caterpillars or slugs are more ipiickly and effectu ally destroyed with a poisonous sto machic insecticide such ns arsenate of lend, purls green or hellebore. These, If applied according to directions, are so diluted as to be harmless to vege tation and to animal llff. Less poi sonous stomachic and contact Insecti cides are kerosene emulsion, slug shot. etc. 'A POME." Hartwell, Ga., 8un. The following poem, from the pen of a I ritiien of Shady Dale, has created much amusement in Hartwell and the county. We publish it by request of eeveral par ties in both town and county among them several who "rode"L Last spring when cotton Was selling so high. You could see tonne farmers ' ' Floating ' ' in the fk . But th -y KOriK: 1 They rode in mi 11. They rode in the rain. Home even rode In an areplalie. (But they HObK ! ) They rode all night, They rode all day, They kept on "riding" Till the devil 's to pay. (But they HOPE!) If tt wasn't an auto, It was a blamed old mule, They kept on "riding" Till they've cut the FOOL. (But they RODE!) Some rode hard, Some rode well, But they kept on "riding" Till they've sure played hell. (But they RODK!) Some doctors spent the whole year Distributing pills, And can't collect enough money To pay their gasoline bills. Phone 489-J Phone 489-J Boy "Policeman"' Gets Results. Bill Zerbe, formerly of Indianapolis, Is motorcycle policeman In the Lo gnnsport police department. Both the young and old know Bill because of his record as a tamer of speeders. A few days ago the driver of an automobile permitted the motor of his machine to run while he went Into a store. When he came out he found a piece of paper In the front seat of the cur. On the paper were these words: "You are pinched for permit ting the engine of your machine to run over 15 minutes. Bill Zerbe." The driver of the cur went to po lice headquarters to pay his fine and exhibit the evidence that he bad been cnught. n being assured that the paper presented had not been pre pared by Zerbe, the driver of the ma chine recalled that he had seen n small boy with a broad grin on his face standing near when he started toward the police station. -Indianapolis News. Ele:tricity to Locate Metal. The idea of using current trans mitted through the earth as , means of locating metal ores is fundi nr, the belief being that the greater conduc tivity of these metalliferous regions rah be clearly Indicated, and the area mapped out, says the Scientific Ameri can. The location of oil deposits, which according to the Kleetrical Re view is now being Investigated elec trically, presents 11 converse problem. In this rase the Insulating properties of the oil diminish the current', nnd oil-bearing regions are detected ac rordlncly. In view of the great depth to which it is often necessary to bore for oil oil that only e:s's simulta neously with an nlmost ..;! free area above the method would seem to have limitations, but It bus doubtless possibilities in dealing with surface oil areas. That Decided Him. George was In a despondent mood. "But. Mabel, dear," he said, "marriage Is out of the question Just now. You seem to have forgotten that Tm a poor clerk on a meager salary." "Oh, George, don't let poverty Inter fere with our happiness. We ran live on one meal a day, If necessary." "But you know nothing of household duties, sweetheart Why, you can't even cook." "Indeed, I can, love. I have kept lt secret from you but the time has come for my confession. George, dear, I got a certificate from a domestic science school three months ago." The young man gasped. "My dar ling." I said, "come to my arms. It shall be as you wish one meal a day will be more than enough." (Hut they RODK!)
