All efforts to ascertain the situation
there has failed and the people mere
are absolutely at a loss. In Cherokee
the election was MANAGED dlnerently.
The county supervisor took charge OF
the matter and declared the result
Then the county board wrote to the
governor and attorney general TO mo

were informed that the office ceased
to exist. Governor Hayward then or
dered the constables withdrawn and
since then there has been no complaint
as to the enforcement OF the law. In
Pickens county there was talk or
protest of the election and also talk
of a test of the constitutionality or the
Brice law being made. So far nothing
further has been heard about eitner
and It Is supposed that the opposltion
has died out. The state board OF can
vassers should pass upon the result,
however, and they have not received
notice of the election and the number
of votes cast. II the state board does
rot oficially declare the result It Is
not an official election, although II Is
not known whether this was done In
the Cherokee election or not. The
law is rather vague on this point and
this question may be raised yet.

The Man Told
The Truth.
Several years ago, shortly after
had made my first contract to sell life
insurance for the Mutual Benefit
general agent for another old line COM
pany. and one that Is recognized In the
insurance world as standing near the
bottom of the list so far as favorable
results for policy holders are concern
ed. undertook to induce me to cancel
the contract I had signed and accept
one with his company, Offering me
about twice as large commission as the
M. B. I told him that / would not
change for the reason that / knew the
M. r. was the best policy holders COM
pany In business, and as I expected to
sell insurance to my friends and neigh
bors, / felt that Ii was my duty, both
to myself and them to offer what ]
knew to be the best. He replied that
while my position was correct theoreti-
cally, still he was sure / was doing my
self an Injustice from financial stand
point for the reason that his company
would pay me twice as large commits.
sion, and that 80 far as the average
man who bought insurance, was con-
cerned he bought from the agent in
stead Of the company and l could sell
his insurance as easily as the M. B..
Experience has convinced me that the
average man" does buy from tho
agent and that II the agent knows his
business he can sell the average
man" a policy In a company without
r, cord or standing just as easily as In
company that has stood the test for
sixty years, as the M. B. has and has
record as white as snow. l almost
invariably insure those who realize
that the contract is with the company
and look before they leap.

Ants in the Fields.

We used to think the ant was our

recognized that he is sometimes per-
niciously active. He is so much Of an
enemy to the farmer that the latter is
justified in destroying the ant hills
wherever they are found. Few realize
the extent to which attacks OF plant
lice are due to ants. II has been sup
posed that the dairy business of the
ants was a side issue, but II one will
follow the habit of the little fellows he

Gus are the colonies Of ants that help

the tender corn roots and transport to
them the plant lice.

Hens In . Bag.

You have heard about buying q

that the poke conceals the bad points
OF the pig. I have recently had an
experience In buying hens in a bag
that has convinced me that the bag
may conceal as many bad points rs

only a hundred feet of land. but on 1t
I thought ! would like to keep some
poultry. So looked around for some
way OF getting a supply OF hens. The
man that supplies me with butter
said he knew of a man that had some
hens he wanted to sell and he would
dispose OF them cheap. 25 cents each.
That was apparently good oppor
tunity to buy: SO I ordered a dozen.
with the understanding that they were
to be all right. The third day the
butter man came when | was away
and showed my children the hens
which were In q bag. He said he
would take them right out TO the poul-
try house himself. which he did When
came home and saw the group OF
chickens I was disguised and angry.
You can hardly imagine what an un-
inviting lot they were. They were
poor. skinny and apparently al sick.
There was the constant pip. pip from
the roosts. SO well known 10 those
that have seen the roup. knew the
disease and was angry at what I con-
sidered an imposition.
The next time the butter man came
I was lying in wait for him. When
his wagon hove in sight ! started for
the poultry house and pulled all the
hens from the roost and put them In
the same bag in which they came.
Then I went out TO the wagon and put
them in myself and told the man to
carry them back to the place where
he got them. as I did not want sick
chickens. Fortunately I had not paid
for them, and IL was this fact that
induced the man TO accept them for
return. He was mad and so was I.
but thought I was the only one that
had the right to be angry. as he had
assured me that the fowls were all

Rot-infeeted Potatoes.

fhe Maine station carried on some
experiments to determine how late
blight-infected potatoes should be dug
The conclusions reached by the exper-
imenters were:
The infection OF the potatoes with
the fungus occurs chiefly. If not en-
tirely. in the field before digging.
The infection is usually the result
OF diseased vines.
The disease is transmitted. in the
majority of cases. not directly through
the vine. but indirectly through the
soil.
Potatoes may be infected directly in
the field from spores introduced in the
manuHe. or from rotten potatoes
spread upon or left In the land the
preceding year.
Jones and Morse conclude that the
myeelium which produces the rot nor
mally passes into a dormant stage
after infesting the potato. but that
abnormal conditions OF moisture or
temperature may cause abnormal ac-
tivity in the fungus. and hence the rot
ting OF the tubers.
Whatever may be the explanation.
these experiments all agree in show
ing that. whether the vines have or
have not been protected with Bor-
deaux mixture. there is far less liabil-
ity OF loss from rotting in the cellar
in the case Of late dug potatoes.

Sorrei as . Pest.

In many parts of the country red
sorrel is very abundant and wherever
it is found in abundance il must be
been casting about them for a means
OF getting rid OF this pest will hnc that
lining the land helps greatly The
writer of this was recently in a part
Of Illinois where red sorrel has spread
everywhere The fields are red with
il and the farmers complain that II Is
so abundant that IL interferes greatly
with their crops There was one heic
where lime had been used in part OF
the feld and the rest left without
lime. In the part that had been lined
there was little sorrel, while on the
other part il grew in abundance. II
was evident that 1t found lime not to
its liking.
The popular impression is that sor-
rel indicates sour land, and this belief
doubtless has in 1t some truth; though
sorrel will grow on land that is sweet
It is like some other plants. it has its
preference. and in this case il is for
land that is too acid for the growing
OF some other plants The very fact
that other plants do not do well on il
helps the sorrel. for It leaves the land
free for its use. Sorrel can be best
fought by lining the land. II II is in
clined toward sourness and then put
ting it into q crop that needs cultiva-
tion- We have never seen the sorrel
persist under such treatment We
