Dispensaries Must Not Mix
the Two Things.
The State Board of Control
Tries to Divorce the Busi-
ness From Politics.

The State board of control spent a
greater part of yesterday in making
the appointments of the county
boards of control 1t seen, to be
their desire to remove the dlspensary
as far from politics as possible. 10
this end the board passed an order
that man could not be a member of
a county board of control or a coun-
ty dispenser who was candidate tor
any Office. The following board was
appointed for Sumter county
w. j Dinkins. Fl. c. Cut.ino and
T. T. Hays
During the afternoon session
Messrs. Stanley and Adam were
given an audience with the board.
They are two temperance workers
who came to urge on the board the
strict enforcement of the dispensary
law as an aid to temperance. They
made no charges, but wanted the
law administered in its letter and
spirit as temperance measure
The liquor drummers will not be
given chance at this meeting to
praise their goods, but will simply be
allowed to hand in written bids for
such grades of liquors as the board
wishes to purchase.
The number of barrels needed is
not known yet. but when action is
taken on the bids, it will be given
out.
The beer privileges were renewed
to the men who already have them
Messrs. Marcy of Columbia and
Seegers of the Palmetto Brewery of
Charleston In addition Mr.. ". T.
Jessen, of Charleston, was given the
beer privilege.
The board passed the following
resolution to avoid having so many
drummers put to the useless expense
of attending their meetings:
Resolved, That the State board of
control invite representatives of al!
whiskey houses who wish to treat
with us, to submit in writing their
bids in prices and merits at our June
meeting and we consent that they
appear before us with the under
standing that this will be the last
audience :hat we can give them and
thereafter, sealed bids be submitted
by mail.
1t is the desire of the board to in.
crease the drinking of beer in the
place of whiskey as lesser evil aud
to this end they are granting beer
privileges and if those thus far grant.
ed have success, they will likely in
crease the number. State

Agricultural Value of Peas.

The pea I regard as an essential
crop for all farmers to cultivate. The
pea is the clover Of the South in iD-

sides Furnishing food for man and beast.

wheat and oats we're harvested. On the
first plat of l3 acres-wheat 6eld-I
planted one bu.hel black, half bushel
red or stock. aud the balance 10 COW or
clay peas.
From the one bushel, say four acres,

the red or stock, hall bushe !; 53G
pounds seven acres clay. 8 .09S pounds
or $3.50 pounds from 13 acres. with,
perhaps so pounds in the field, 700
green at the picking.
1t will thus be seeD that the black
yielded 454 pounds, the red 268 pounds
aud the clay 442 pounds to the acre.
The prospect the last of August prom
ised much greater yield, but the hot,
dry weather throughout September
lessened the yield at least one-half
The black and clay varieties ripened
rapidly under the hot sun, losing all
the leaves, while the red held theirs

IF our farmers would plant more
peas. and follow with cotton, the yield
will be greatly increased from the veg
etable matter of the decaying vines,
besides securing nitrogen iu the soil,

The question of curing aud saving
pea vines is an in portant one, and, il
DOT properly done, the leaves are los'

A member Of the New York Produce
