Mayworen, charged with murdering threo
members of tho Queen family at Mount
Tlcasant last Thursday, is closely guarded
In jail hero today after being saved from
lynching by former Sheriff Welder.
Fishermen casting their lines In a small,
swampy stream near Mount pleasant last
night saw a man answering the fugitive's
description emerge from the woods carry
ing an ax. They sounded nn alarm nnd
soon the swamp was surrounded by hun
dreds of persons nrmed with pitchforks and
guns.
Mayworen tried to escape across the
stream when the crowd rlosed In, but a
charge of blrdihot stunned him long enough
to be overpowered. For a moment he tried
to defend himself with tho nx. but was
'soon bound and shackled.
Threats of lynching then came from the
crowd nnd tho Sheriff nnd his deputies were
forced to draw their revolvers to keep them
away from the prisoner.
Mayworen was lodged In the Flemlngton
Jail, which was placed under heavy guard.
A mob of angry citizens remained nearby
through tho night waiting for a chanco to
take the prisoner from custody.

WHEN IN DOUBT PLANT BEANS,
"GOOD DOPE" FOR HOME GARDENER
Crop Is Easy to Handle and Very Prolific Toothsome for
Summer Menus and Can Be Dried or Canned
for Winter Use
By JOHN BARTRAM
JET mo suggest that every ono
J- who creates or cultivates a gar
den helps, and helps greatly, to solve
the problem of the feeding of the
nations. President Wilson.
Bring your gardening problems to
the Kveninc Ledger, for practicnl,
helpful solution. Address JOHN
BAUTRAM.
There is timo yet to start a homo
garden. Spade the ground and start
this week. Beans (both limn nnd
string), onions, corn, beets, tomato
plants, carrots, cucumbers, cabbngo
plants can bo put in safely nnd
profitably from now on. START
NOW.
"ITrllCN In doubt, plant beans."
YV This is tho excellent ndvlce given by
Carl Vrooman. Assistant United States Sec
retary of Agriculture to the National Kmcr
gency Food Garden Commission.
Beans aro nssurcdly the best all-round
crop for tho home gardener. The are
easy to plant, being capable of placement
directly In the row or drill nt the right
Interval ; they arc easy to cultivate, as the
plants soon get a start of weed" and nre
slzahlo enough to hoe up quickly nnd
safely ; they stnrt bearing reasonably early,
and by planting at fortnightly intervals can
be kept bearing till frost; they do well In
almost, any sort of ground, but of course
show to better ndxantage In mellow soil;
they crop sometimes very well even If neg
lected ; they nrc delicious for the table
picked fresh from the vine; they can bo
canned or dried for winter use ; In soups or
for baking they have a variety of flavors.
In the several sort, string, wax and lima;
they nre extraordinarily prolific and give,
with tomatoes and cucumbers, tho largest
yield of any vegetable for tho area con
ccrncd. "riiru vnr,i farmers" nlant too many per
ishable vegetables. It Is all right to plant
enough fresh vegetables to supply needs
for summer, nnd If there Is certainty or
obtaining glass Jars in which to put up
such vegetables ns tomatoes iu..ai.ihu.
etc , It Is safe to plant plenty of them. But
benns nro absolutely safe.
Nature has provided beans with their
own deslcatlons or drying apparatus, the
pods In which they grow. All that Is neces
sary to do at the harvest Is to store pods
In a dry, cool place nnd let the nlr do the
rest. Most dried beans nro ns tasteful as
green beans.
Of courso there nre other ways of saving
hrnna nurh ns Rhelllnir and drying In the
oven or In the sun. evaporating on shallow
pans under tho breeze from an electric fan
or in one the moueraie-pnccu urymK -chines
that aro now mado In small family
sizes, but nature's way Is effective chenp
and simple. When the beans rattle in tho
pods they should be shelled and 'stored In
tin containers or even old flour bags, kopt
In a fairly cool and absolutely dry place.
Ueans are divided Into polo and bush,
each class containing the string and lima
varieties They nre also divided Into snap
beans, cither string or wax (butter), which
aro eaten pod and all; shell beans, such
as tho white navy soup, red kidney and
marrowfat kinds, and llmas, either white
seeded or green seeded. All classes have
climbing and bush varieties.
Soup beans, either yellow podded (wax or
butter) and green podded (string) are used
i,. fnr miio. nnd In this class are
now found the strlnglesi sort. The second
Is used as a dry bean without the pod for

There Is also nn excellent dwarf, noncllmb.
lug Urns, the Fordhook, which grrtws tin-

two to three feet apart, the seeds two to
two nnd one-half feet apart.
Deans will grow In nearly any soil, hut
thrive best In warm, sandy loam. Heavy
clay Is likely to bake nnd prevent germina
tion. Such soil usually rots the seed beans
Shell and snap beans aro sown In rowa
from two to threo feet apart, with plants
standing singly every two to thr inriia
or In bunches of three to four every twelve
to eighteen Inches Keep the soil between
tho rows well stirred, but never hoo while
the ground Is wet or while there li moisturo
on tho leaves To enjoy detlrlou. tender
beans they should be picked while half
formed, an then all are extremely tender
and strlngless Tho cleaner vines aro picked
the longer they remain bearing.
Itcans will not withstand frost, nnd many
first plantings In the spring nre frequently
lost In this manner. It H very llttlo trouble,
however, to make n planting of beans at
regular Intervals of a week, beginning with
April It pays to take a llttlo rlk Tho
last planting should bo made eight weeks
before frost.
There are many good varieties beoldes
those mentioned Refugee wax. Valentino
string and Currier rustproof vvnx are good
snaps. Dwarf horticultural are fine for dry
ing. Snaps nnd llmas also can be dried
IIma nnd other polo beans require a
somewhat richer soil than the shell or snap
varieties, and should bo planted In hills four
by four feet. 1'oles must be set for sup
port riant eight tn ten serds In a hill,
and nftcr the pla'nts become established
thin to four or live. Itefore sowing seed
place nddltlonat manure in the bottom of
the hills. Cover the manure with ono nnd
one-half Inches of soil nnd set seed with
the eye downward Cover with not more
than two Inches of soil, If warm nnd dry,
less if soil tends to heaviness.
