Kansas Sugar Beets.

About seventy-hve samples Of beets
have been analyzed at the Agricultural
College thus far this season. The per-
Centage Of sugar in the juice ranges from
Z to 18. The average is about 10 per
cent. The highest percentage comes from
Cloud county, Mr.. A. Munger, Of Hollis,
having sent in two samples which con-
talned 1921 and 1859 respectively.
Kearney county sends in the second best
samples; ]. w. Songstreth and H. G..
Nichols, of Lakin, each having sent in
samples which contained 1853 and 1913
per cent. of sugar respectively. Other
counties which have sent in samples that
contained from 1921 to 1913 per cent.
Of sugar are Reno, Harvey, Greenwood,
Washington, and Clark. The above
named localities have demonstrated that
they can grow sugar beets rich enough
for the manufacture of sugar The next
problem for them to solve will be the
cost OF building and operating factory,
as compared with the running expenses
Of factories elsewhere. Upon this COM
parison will probably devolve the future

Peanuts.

The peanut crop amounts to 100000
bushels in the United States this year.
This is a great increase over what the
crop was thirty years ago when 1t aggre-
gated only about half a million bushels
The great bulk Of this crop is grown in
Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and
Georgia. They are also grown to some
extent along the Arkansas valley In
western Kansas. They are planted and
grown In the ground like potatoes and
are quite an article Of food in the local
ities where they are extensively grown.

Dirt in MILK.

The college dairy at Manhattan Sc
cured samples of milk from persons that
were engaged more or less in the dairy
business, and placed these In long mar
now glass tubes. After being allowed to
stand for several hours these tubes were
examined and notes taken on the amount
OF dirt that settled to the bottom. Con-
siderable difference was found, some
samples being almost free from visible
dirt, while others had so much that 1t
formed an irregular ring along the lower
edge of the tube. While this test Is a
good one to detect solid particles Of
dirt In the milk, 1t is by no means con-
elusive, as where milk is handled in an
uncleanly manner more or less dirt be-
comes dissolved in the milk and cannot
be separated out. This goes to illustrate
the Importance Of the utmost cleanli-
ness in handling milk. We object to
milk being adulterated with water, but
this is not to be compared with adulter-
ating 1t with dirt

Fruit Trees and Rabblts.

Some winters rabbits are more numer-
GUS and destructive to young fruit trees
than others, but 1t Is best to always be
on the alert and prevent their ravages.
A single rabbit In young orchard will
soon destroy hundred trees, and fruit
tree Is worth more than a dollar for
each year 1t has grown in the orchard.
Some recommend shooting rabbit, cut
ting him in halves and rubbing the trees
with the bloody sides for a foot or two
above the ground. This certainly might
save some Of the trees, for II all the rab-
bits were treated in this way the trees
would be safe. Most washes are inffec-
tive for this purpose, and axle grease,
coal tar and kerosene are dangerous and
will kill young trees. The best protec-
tiOn is fine wire screen cut in strips Of
eighteen inches long and six inches wide
and rolled around an old broom handle
so 1t will stay coiled, then spring 1t
around the tree and sink the lower end
an inch into the ground. The expense
is small and the protection is most ef-
fectual.

HOW 1T WAS DONE.

The ENQUIRER, again last Wednes-
day, excelled all the papers in the state,
daily and weekly, in the manner in
which it performed the task of collect
ing and publishing the election returns
before daylight of the day following
the election.
To tell how it was done would be
tiresome. 1t is the same old story. II
involved liberal expenditure of cash
and lots of kind assistance from the
same friends who have contributed to
the success of our efforts on previous
occasions.
Heretofore we have relied principal
ly on the telegraph. This time, with
the exception Of several boxes by spe'
cial messengers, and few by tele'
graph, most of the returns came over
the lines of the Bedford Phone compa'
ny, of Yorkville, and of the Rock Hill
exchange.

THE MAGISTRATES.

Primary elections were held for mag :
istrates in various townships of the
county last Tuesday. In some in
stances there will have 10 be new elec-
tions; but in other cases the matter
was settled on the first ballot.
In Broad River, the candidates were
G.. G.. Leech. P. B. Love, E. F. Bell,
Sr., w. H. White, John Ramsey, j. c.
Chambers, J. NJ. Cobb. There will be
a second primary between Leech and
Chambers.
In Ebenezer township, Mr.. r. NJ.
Anderson defeated Mr.. S. L. Johnston.
In Bullock's Creek, the candidates
were w. S. Plaxco, J. P. Blair, J. K.
Jenkins, Junius Duncan and M. F. S.
Mccullough. Jenkins led with 81
votes, Pla1co received 4S and Dan can
4S. These three will have to 60 into
another primary and the probability is
that it will take a third primary to
settle the matter.

- All of the legislative nominees
chosen are pledged to the proposition
to provide that dispensaries be estab-
lished or removed only upon vote of
a two-thirds of the people directly
interested. The proposition is a fair
one, and ought to be adopted by the
general assembly; but whether it is or
is not adopted, our representatives can
surely secure the removal of the dis
pensary at Tirzah. Practically all OF
the people of Tirzah want this dispen-
sary abolished, and we believe our
representatives will have it done away
with or know the reason why.

MESSAGE TO NEELY.

Mr.. C. T. Crook, of Fort Mill town.
ship, was in Yorkville cd Thursday in
attendance on the meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee that was held for
the purpose of tabulating and declar-
ing the result of Tuesdays primary.
Somebody asked Mr.. Crook as to
how his neighbor, Mr.. S. P. Blanken-
ship, who was candidate for treas.
urer, took his defeat.
"Not worried at ALL" said Mr.. Crook.
"He sent by me a message to Mr.. Nicely,
and as 1 have already delivered it to
Mr.. Neely, and am sure Mr.. Blank
enship don't care, just tell you what
it was"
sand what was it ?"
"Mr. Blankenship," continued Mr..
Crook, "told me to say to Mr.. Neely
this:
~ have enough. I am thoroughly
satisfied that the Office is yours. The
people of York county have given it
to you. I expect to vote for you now
every time you run for the balance of
your days, and before you die, 1 want
you to designate your successor in
your will, because I am going to con-
+;a,,o to ,,ofo for him olan ~
"And you say Mr.. Blankenship was
not sour or sarcastic in his remark ?"
"Not the least bit of It," Mr.. Crook
replied. "He is not built that way.
He meant just exactly what he said,
except of course the references to MIR.

eral defects in this plan, and some
time back the directors of the COM
pany were authorized to change the
bylaws so as to provide for the collec-
tion of an advance assessment that
would create reserve fund.
This change created more or less
dissatisfaction in some quarters, and
several members demurred to the pay
ment of the advance assessment. One
refused with a view to testing the
matter in the courts, and the directors,
of course, at once instituted proceed
ings.
The case came up on Thursday be-
fore Magistrate Sandifer and a jury.
The plaintiff was represented by Mr..
J. S. Brice, assisted by Mr.. w. B.
|deLoach, and the defendants by Mr..
G. w. S. Hart. After all the evidence
was in, the lawyers argued the matter
pro and con, and submitted in due
form their views as to the law involved
in the case, preliminary to carrying
the question up to the higher courts.
The jury found for the plaintiff, and
although as yet there has been no for
NAL notice of appeal, the reporter un-
derstands that both sides are desirous
of having the point at issue definitely
and finally determined in the higher
courts.

THE ELECTION GUESS.

The last Tuesdays primary was
confessedly a tough proposition, and
there were not a great many guesses
in answer to our offer to give years
subscription to the individual who
came nearest predicting the result.
Only seven individuals made the at
tempt.
Mr.. J. E. Parker, of Rock Hill,
guessed the closest to the total num-
ber of votes cast. His guess was
2,SS9. The actual figures are 1855.
His judgment on the state and county
tickets, however, was at such error as
to give other guessers the advantage.
Mr.. w. H. Moore, of Rock Hill,
again comes out winner. At first he
put the total vote at $3.50; but on last
Saturday amended these figures so as
to make them 1850. In other partic-
ulars his guessing is remarkable. 1t
is as follows:
Ellerbe and Featherstone.
Tompkins and Brabham.
Mower and Bellinger.
Epton and Derham.
McMahan and Mayfield.
Blythe and Watts.
Garris and Stansell.
Finley and Barber.
johnson, McDill, Mellow and Elder.
Leech and Culp.
Carroll and Tate.
Nicely elected on first ballot.
Boyce and Parish.
Mr.. Moore gave the total vote that
he expected each candidate to receive,
and generally his figures show some
very close calculation.

County and Congressional Candidates on
a Question of Veracity.

County and Congressional Candidates on
Question of yeracity.
A correspondent of The State says
the county and congressional cam
paign meeting which started off so
quietly Friday at Westville, came
very near ending in row.
There is fight being made, espe-
cialIy by some people in kershaw
county, against General w. A. Barber,
who is candidate for congress in this
district. The reason being that Cen
eral Barber, as a member of the state
railroad board of equalization, voted
to reduce the assessment of the Ohio
River and Charleston railroad to
Sc, 900, whereas the county board had
raised it to $4,000 per mile.
During his speech, General Barber,
trying to explain his vote, said that
another one of the candidates for con-
gress, the Hon. w. P. Pollock, of Che
raw, had stated to a gentleman in
Camden that if he had been on the
board he (Pollock) would have voted
the same way that General Barber
did.
Mr.. Pollock denied this, whereupon
General Barber replied that the gen.
tleman who made the statement was
present. Mr.. Pollock again denied it,
when Mr.. w. r. Hough, the treasurer
of Kershaw county and candidate
for re. election, stepped forward and
said that Mr.. Pollock did make such
statement to him. Mr.. Pollock re-
piled, at is not So" AS he did so
Mr.. Hough advanced upon him, and
it was only by the Intervention Of some
of the other candidates, who got be-
tween them, that q personal encounter
was averted.
