The plan to put forward Gen. Hamp-
ton as candidate for the Senate has
nothing to recommend it, and we be
aieve that on sober second thought
seYenty-fYe per cent of Gen. Hamp-
toms best friends will take this view
of the matter. To make Gen. Hamp-
ton the candidate by unanimous con-
sent would settle none Of the issues
now before the people of the State; it
would be merely a compromise, with
ont the compensatory features that
some compromises have to recommend
them to the consideration of peace
elo7ing people. Deny it if we will, the
fact remains that the McLaurin move
Sment, though undemocratic and based
supon appeals to the mercenary spirit
sof the people and the rankest sophis-
try, has aroused the most intense
interest throughout the State and
has a strength that is in our opinion
greatly underestimated by some Of it's
opponents. This movement should be
met and defeated by an active cam
paign of education and the people en-
liehtened to the heresies and dangers
of McLaurinism. They should be
brought back to full and complete
allegiance to democratic principles,
and this cannot be accomplished IN
less the falsity of the McLaurin doc
trine be brought home to their under
standing. If the fight is abandoned
and the contest shirked by putting
Gen. Hapmton forward as candidate
on platform of sentiment and rever-
ance for his high character and past
service to the State the effect will be,
in our opinion, most unfortunate.
The issue has been made; it is true
democracy against republicanism mas
ouerading as commercial democracy,
and we should fight it out to finish
on the lines laid down by Henderson,
Hemphill and Johnstone in their
speeches this summer.

Admiral SIMPSONS friends are max
ing desperate efforts to keep him out
of the court of inquiry and also to
explain away some of the slanderous
charges against Admiral Schley which
have heretofore had Sampson's ap-
proval, if they were not inspired by
him. It is also stated that Admiral
SIMPSONS health is in precarious
condition and that he is suffering with
a prolonged loss of memory. When
the court of inquiry gets through with
him he will suffer from permanent
loss of reputation.

The game of cards was first played
in the east and seems to have had a
military origin. Cards were introduced
from Asia into Europe at the time of
the crusades and were first used by
necromancers to foretell fortunes They
soon became a popular amusement in
the south of Europe, where the Sara
Gems and Moors taught the people how
to use them. and card playing spread
to all parts of'the continent The state
records of Germany mention the fact
that Rudolph L., in 1915, was fond of
the game and played with his court
iers.
After the invention Of paper the man
ufacture Of cards became extensive,
but declined somewhat when card play
ing was forbidden by several of the
German states and by the English gov
eminent on account Of the supposed
immoral tendency. Before the era of
paper cards in the orient were made

The proper harvesting and preserva-
ton of the hay crop have great inf1u-
ence on dairying, especially winter dali
rying, says G. e. Newell in American
Cultivator.
a wise and consequently successful
dairyman is always looking ahead q
year or mere and making his plans ac-
cordingly.
He knows that because hay as win
ter food for cows is tabooed by some is
due to the reason that it is improperly
cured and stored in the summer.
If we could only have weather made
to order during haying, a much better
quality of fodder than the average
would result.
However, even with the most favora-
BILE weather conditions some farmers
would never have good hay
They harvest it too expeditiously and
then pack the imperfectly cured grass
into tight barns, where the excess
moisture it contains results later in
musty or smoky" hay.
The bulk of the hay crop in the Unit
ed States is harvested, according to lat
itude, prior to the middle of July, and it
has long been considered as a rushing
season of work.
With modern machinery the ease and
rapidity with which the crop can be
handled tempts the farmer to imperfect
curing, and this is point that [ wish
to speak about.
Do not put damp hay into large mows
or stacks. If the grass contains an
admixture of clover after few hours
sun in the swath, cure it in cocks cap
ped if necessary against any possibility
of rain
The idea is to get the moisture pretty
well out of the hay before it has been
become too dry and bleached by too
much sun.
The so called "sweating" process that
freshly cured hay passes through, be-
ing simply the evaporation of excess
moisture, should take place under con-
ditions in which air can freely circulate
through it.
by THIS plan freSh, sweet nay can be
fed out to the COWS in winter resulting
in an increased milk flow and augment
ed dairy profits.
The principal reason that hay has
fallen into such disrepute as feed for
dairy COWS is because there is so much
poor hay fed.
Where hay is stacked it will always
pay to thoroughly protect the top and
sides against any inclemency in the
weather. Balloon framed sheds are
useful for this purpose, but they must
have tight roofs.

One of the surprising things in farm
ing is the gradual development Of land
to a point where it will yield returns
never dreamed of by the early cultiva-
tors, says Professor James S. Doty in
American Cultivator. Over in parts Of
England and Scotland farmers and dali
rymen make a living from pasture
lands which have an assessed valuation
of $4O0 and $500 an acre. They do this
when prices for the products are no
greater than American farmers receive.
The secret Of their success is neceSsi-
ty. They have been forced to make ev-
cry square inch of soil pay it's highest
profit, and as a result they have some
of the finest pastures in the world. The
sod is so thick and compact that it is
almost impossible to cut through it.
The roots form q solid mass in the soil,
and the grass grows luxuriantly, even
defying dry weather and producing
good crops in spite of close cropping
and late in the season, when frost ordi-
narily kills less successful pasture.
The thing Of it is the farmers have
cultivated the soil, planted and replant-
ed grass seeds, dressed the pastures re-
peatedly with fertilizers and made
them in every way productive and fer
tile. The soil is not more adapted nat
urally to pastures than millions Of
acres in this country which today pro-
duce only Indifferent crops of grass.
The soil is made artifcially rich, and
the sod Is the result of careful, inten-
sive farming.
To Get Good Pastures.
In the first place the ideal pasture
land must be seeded with good seed,
and liberal expenditure of fertilizers
must be made annually Then weeds
must be religiously destroyed, pulled
up root and branch every year. 1t is
impossible to get good pasture unless
weeds are pulled up. If this work is
continued carefully every year, in four
or five seasons weeds will have no
chance whatever. The grass roots will
occupy the soil so completely that no
weeds can find Judgment there.
Weeds are the bane of American
pasture fields, and the more they are
allowed to grow and produce seeds the
more obnoxious they will become. 1t is
impossible to get grass seed today that
will not have some weeds in it, and
the only hope of the farmer is to pull
up the weeds as fast as they show
themselves. Good culture of grass
pastures will pay as much as any kind
of farming ever attempted in this coun-
try and especially where the land is
located near large cities and good mar
kets for dairy products.

Abandoned CiSterns.

An abandoned cistern is often dan

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady

they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.

troubles were to be traced to the kidneys

all constitutional diseases have their BEGIN
