IF BItXA AN IS ELECTED.
What Republican Paper Thinks
Would Happen

A question was recently addressed
by a Republican to the Boston Post
and to this the latter replied with
much sincerity, although it has not
hitherto been regarded as a strictly
regular Democratic organ
Suppose Bryan were elected Presi-
dent, what would happen What
sort OF q President would we have in
him
In the first place, we should have a
thoroughly honest man In the White
House. This is fact conceded by Mr..
Bryan's political Toes as we'll by his
political friends. And it is more than
the Republicans can say OF every can
didate for President put up by their
party.
We should have President Of un-
questioned ability. Mr.. Bryan has
shown himself man of parts. He is
not only brilliant orator, he has
demonstrated his possession OF the
qualities OF statesmanship
We should have President who is
personally unselfsh. MIR. Bryan is
devoted to principles rather than to
the advancement OF his individual in
forests. He Is a broad minded man.
We should have for President man
OF tact and good humor. Mr.. Bryan
"ouio OheSl uliS w IllIO WlInOuU
enemies to punish or grudges to satisfy.
He carries no knife"
And touching the politics and issues
on which this election turns, we should
have President devoted to the Re-
public as against the imperial theory
OF government; to the protection OF
the interests OF the great body OF the
people as against monopolistic cabals.
we should have a President who has
pledged himself to what we at the
East regard as mistaken theory Of
finance, but who would be unable in
The four years Of his term to put his
theory In practice In any form.
All In all, even from The Republican
point OF view, there have been many
candidates, both Republican and Dem.
ocratic, whose election to the Presi-
dency would be properly regarded with
greater apprehension than that OF viii.
liam Jennings Bryan.

SAND VETCH.

We printed an article last year set
ting forth the merits of the Sand Vetch.
The Southern Planter, of Richmond, is
unqualified in its praise of the plant,
saying comprehensively that it "knows
of no forage crop that promises to
be of greater value" 1t adds some
information which may be of interest
TO Carolina farmers.
The Planter has most favorable re-
ports from those who have grown the
vctch for two years, both for green
forage crop and for hay, and the editor
and making splendid yield of hay
after having been put in the early
spring. He has also seen il make heavy
crop when not seeded until late in the
spring. The proper time to SOW it is
in August, September and October,
and should be seeded at the rate Of 80
pounds per acre, if sown alone. A
better plan is to SOW 20 pounds per
acre with half bushel of oats, wheat
or rye, as the grain "holds up the crop"
and makes it easier to harvest and to
cure into hay.
1t Is a more reliable crop than Ger
man or crimson clover, because it is
not 80 easily killed out by hot sun or
drought when just started. Its growth
during the winter months serves TO
prevent teaching of the soil, and "adds
greatly to the supply of soil nitrogen" :"
At the Alabama Experiment Station a
special study has been made of the crop,
and some interesting facts are report
ed. When cut just before blooming
the yield of dry hay per acre was 3,117
pounds. When 5 per cent of the
blooms showed the yield was 3,7O5
pounds. When in full bloom the yield
was $3.50 pounds. When seed pods
formed the yield was 5 ,4G3 pounds.
The percentage of protein muscle
and flesh forming food-in the hay is
"highcr than in any other of the
leguminous crops, as red clover and
cowpeas, and much higher than corn
blades or fodder, while in fat produc.
ing matter it is nearly their equal"
AS a fertilizer and improver of land
it is of high value. The Alabama
Station calculated that the nitrogen"
contained IN the vines. stubblc and
roots from an acre harvested when the
plant was in full bloom would be
Z,DI
pounds of cotton seed meal, and that
one week later it would be equivalent
to 1880 pounds of the meal. The
total nitrogen content of the crop in
creascs with the stage of maturity.
In experiments made in growing
corn on plats where either the entire
growth of vetch, the stubblcs of vctch l.,
or the entire growth neatly maturcd,
rye had been ploughcd under, the yield
of corn was so per cent greater, and IN
some instances 100 per cent greater on
the vctch plats than on the rye plats.
There was little difference in the yield
of grain on the vetch plats whether the
entire plant or only the stubbble and
roots were ploughed under.
Finally, it is noted, as hog pasture
"nothing better than the sand vetch
can be grown, as it comes in early and
holds out into the hot summer

The temperature averaged nearly
seven degrees hotter than usual, for
the week ending 8 q. m. August 18th,
and on the 10th maximum tempe ratures
OF 100 to lO4 prevailed over the whole
State except the extreme northwestern
portion. The week was the hottest Of
the season, and the highest tempera-
lures ever recorded In August occurred
at number OF points.
With the exception OF light scattered
thunder storms in the central and wes-
tern counties on the 18th, there W as an
entire absence OF ,ain, ana little or no
dew during the nights. Desiccating,
burning winds prevailed during the
latter portion. The sky was generally
cloudless. The high temperature, the
absence OF rain, the drying winds, and
the bright sunshine were conditions
that were extremely damaging to all
crops, checking their growth, willing,
burning and whitening them.
EARLY corn was too nearly matured
to be much hurt, but late corn failed
rapidly and Is in a critical condition
for lack Of moisture. Fodder is drying
on the stalks, many OF which have no3
cared, while many Of the ears are in
the milk, and on such the grain ls

The heat and dryness caused cotton
to shed leaves, bolls and forms freely,
and also caused half-grown bolls to
open. Premature opening is general.
Rust is more prevalent than heretofore,
and sea island continues to blight and
is taking on little fruit. The first new
bale was marketed on the 9th, which

Tobacco curing is finished. Peas are

upland rice failed materially. Pastures

Cane and sweet potatoes need rain
badly, and are losing condition rapidly
for lack OF it, In places the hay crop
will be short. The need OF rain is gen

BRYAN WILL TOUR COUNTRY.
The Democratic Nominee Will Make
Speeches Mt Various Points.

w. j. Bryan's visit to Chicago has
practically resulted In an understand. :.
Ing that he will travel almost as much
during the present campaign as he did
In 1896. The first inclination on his
part was to avoid the making of MANY
speeches this year, but there has been
such general pressure that it is under
stood that he is now inclined to Weld
and visit many parts of the country.
No positive promises for participation
In the campaign have been made for
other States than New York, but the
probabilities are that he will 90 from
that State to Maryland, where there
appears to be great anxiety for his ap.
pearance. After that time he Is likeiy
to make q quite general tour OF the
north Mississippi valley States, includ.
Ing Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Minnes,t Ca.
etc. No authorized statement has peen
given out To this effect, but there Ia no
doubt that this is the present tendency
that, indeed, the plan is practically
decided upon. In New York 1t is ex-
pected Mr.. Bryan will speak only in
the larger cities.
The Silver Republicans originally
expected to notify Mr.. Bryan OF their
nomination OF him to the presidency at
The same time the Populists make their

Their notification will come later and |
the probabilities are that 1t will be |
made at st. Paul or Minneapolis. Hon.
L. M. Patterson, of Denver, will
make tho speech notifying Mr.. BRYAN
Of the POpullst nomination at Topeka.
There will be no notification to a vice
presidential candidate, as In view OF

vt present have no candidate for that

According TO Herr Rcinmann, there
is no relation between rancid paste
and the odor of butter and the quantity
of free acid found in it. The greater
the amount of cascine and of milk
sugor in butter, the more quickly does
it become rancid. 1t does not appear
that light and air exercise any direct
influence upon the process. Butter
made from sterilized cream will rarely
become rancid, but if brought into
contact with rancid butter it will turn
in few days.
