BUXING TIE STATE LIQUOR.
Now Idea In Dispensary management.
Especial TO News and Courier }

Especial to News and Courier.)
Columbia, Jan. G.-How TO pur
chase liquor for tho State disponsury
is to DO ono Of the greatest problems
tho Gen oral Assembly will have tc
solve at tho approaching session. II
is manifest that tho present plan
through tho State board of control
does not suit, for 1T is snid that the
State board Of control is to bo legis
lated out Of oilico.
The question then is how will the
million and quarters worth Of Ii
quor be bought? Tho proposition
that was suggested by caucus oi
leaders is to advertise for bids, have
tho bids made for years supply tc
bo ordered rs needed, and havo the
awards made by the board, to con
slst of Governor, Secretary Of State
Attorney General and chairman OF
tho finance committees of tho House
and Senate.
1t is suggested that instead Of hay
ing such board that it would be q
good idea to employ broker who
understands tho liquor business and
have him place tho orders for a
small commission. This, it is urged,
would remove tho matter entirely
from politics and talk, and tho agent
of the State would DO strictly tho
business representative, and tho pur-
chascs would be made upon business
principles
1t is urged that such q buyer could
save tho State great deal Of money
and that it would bo to his interest to
buy good liquors at as low price as
possible.
At all events the membors Of tho
General Assembly are going to pay
particular attention to tho purchasing
phase Of the now measures that arc
introduced to change the dispcnsary
system.

TcxnS Il rich Market Tho wheat
submitted is found to bo of OK
ccllcnt quality for uso in this in

mo that Texas can sell in this

Tho Investigation just cndcd arose
through dispatch from Consul ohm

600 pounds arc manufactured annual
ly in this country, whilo tho output OF
Germany, Italy and some other con.
tlncntal countries must be double that
amount.
Mr.. Covert stated that the yield OF
tho peculiar kind Of wheat ncodful ir
this manufacture was limited, since
what was needed was hard wheat
containing largo percentage OF
gluten and q small percentage o1
starch. Tho report attracted consid
erablo attGntion in tho United States
and it was found that wheat that
seemed to answer to tho specifications
was almost indigenous to northern
Texas. This wheat yields about sc
bushels to tho acre, and tho cror
hardly ever fails.
Since that time Mr.. Covert has beer
in correspondence with somo of the
Loading farmers Of northern Texas
who foresaw the rovolutionizing ofthe
Farming Industry in thoir district
slncotho countries manufacturing ali

proposes to Sond it in on that day.
!o says no has not talked with any
OF the members Of tho general as
Gcmbly about it, but hc is convinced
that it is on the right line and he
proposes to push it to the best Of his
ability. He says tho bill is simply
designated to take the dispcnsary
out Of polltlcs-~-to do away with the

counties say at the ballot box whcth.
or they want liquor or not. That, he
says, sums up tho long bill: IIo be.

going to fight for it; he is not SO
anxious about his own bill, however
and if any ono else has q bill pro-
pared in better form, but covering

Senator Appclt says he hears that
many in all parts Of tho State have
expressed themselves as being hear.
tlly in favor Of thus handling tho

Legislators can have chance to turn

iort EVAN Pastor Says Men Should not
Smoko nor Women Wear Corsets and
Get into Trouble.
(Now York Times.)

Kingston, N. Y, January g.
Despite tho throats Of members of
tho congregation of tho old Dutch
Reformed Church, at Port Evan,
that thoy will forco tho pastor, the
Rov. William Burton, to resign, the
minister is still watching ovor his
flock, or, at lcast, oyor the fow who
aro still Glowing to him.
1t is because of the sensational
character Of the sermons preached
by the Rov. Mr.. Burton that his
resignation was asked for some time
ago, but pastors of Dutch Reformed
churches hold their pastorates dur
ing lifo and cannot woll be ousted
except on special charges.
1t is asserted by somo Of tho con-
gregation that the minister is by far
too personal in his sermons and is
apt to call tho oldors and deacons to
account for their mistoings during
the week. Tho majority of the mon
in tho church arc hard working peo
pie, and tho greater number SNAKE.
Tho Clergyman has several times in
tho pulpit referred to tho smokers
| by name, and has said: "God did
not moan that mon should smoke,
for if no had ho would have made
him with stovepipe in his head
and an ashpan in his stomach" A
recent sermon which was tho most
talked of sermon over preached in
tho old Dutch Church, was devoted
to tho evil Of women wearing corsets
The Clergyman said that no woman
who wore corset was respectable
and warned young men not to marry
q woman who laced. A petition foi
tho minister's resignation has failed
to move him. Even petty persecu
tons and the refusal of the consis.
tory of the church to pay his salary
Of SSOO per year have not apparently
ruilled him. a short time ago an
item appeared in local paper tha,
if the Rev. Mr.. Burton did not resign
the consistorJ would find way tc
make him. Tho next night the par
sonage burned to the ground. From
early in tho evening until daylight
tho minister, his young wife and
children were obliged to stand
shivoring and scantily clad in the

usual, but to nearly empty benches

worth doing right, is an adago that
has back Of it tho wisdom of wide
experience, and in no field should it
haVo closer attention than in agri
culture. Tho value and importance
Of experience and experimentation in
farming has boon recognized by our
State in tho establishment Of an COX
pertinent station" at which trusted
officers mako tests of lands, seeds,
methods of cultivation fertilizers and
etc., and give to tho farmers of
tho State tho benefit Of their export
cncc.
We arc not sure that all our farm
ers avail themselves as they should
Of the work Of this station, and
profit by what is worked out there.
AS Director Redding says in his ad-
mirable cotton bulletin, "this station
is backed up by regular appropria,
ton or funds, and therefore is not
embarrassed at all by tho question Of
making living or Of making profit,
or even Of making expenses The
essential idea is that the station aims
to find out tho truth, regardless of
cxponsc, SO that tho farmer may ac-
copt tho truth SO discovered for his
benefit, and adopt it without any un.
due risk Of loss which each would
have to incur if ho entered upon the
samo line Of investigation on his OWN
account"
In this bulletin tho director sets
forth the result Of exporlonco during
nino years, in the rotation of crops,
and gives the following system as tho
best discovered:
"First year: Oats, literally ferti-
lized, followed by cowpeas with 200
rounds of acid phosphate per aero.
The COW pea, as a rule, were made
into hay.
"Second year: Cotton, liborally
fertilized.
"Third year: Corn. At tho begin
ming, liborally fortified. Cow poas
wore sown in the corn, sometimes in
hills at second plowing, but general
ly broadcast at third plowing. Peas
gathered for seed supply. A part of
tho corn for several years past has
boon cut down, stalk and all, and put
into the oil.
"After corn, the land was again
sown in oats in October and ear
ly in November, this commencing
second round Of the three years. 70.
tation."
The director does not hesitate to
say (and in this opinion he is sus
tained by the agriculturisD that the
increased productivonoss of the farm
is due moro TO tho adoption and
maintenance of q regular system OF
rotation of crops than to any one
policy or practice. And it is be-
lieved that the recurring crops Of
COW peas following small grain is
tho most valuable and efficient detail
of the rotation system adopted.
He gives it as tho result of this
system, that the land on tho expert
ment farm which had n productive
capacity Of eight or ten bushels of
corn, 600 pounds of seed cotton, or
10 bushels of oats per acre nine years
ago, will now produce 25 bushels of
corn, 40 bushels of oats or a bale of
cotton. He states further that moth
ing has done to increase this produc-
tive capacity on tho land that could
not have been done by any ordinary
leborer directed by any intelligent
farmer, provided he were informed
