Columbia, March 19.-Chairman
Banks L. Caughman of the railroad
commission today announced that he
would be candidate for reelection.
In making this announcement Mr..
Caughman stated:
81 wish to inform my friends
throughout the State that I shall
again ask for election to the Office I
now hold, and I will appreciate very
much their support in myrace.
81 shall base my claims for reelec-
ton on the ground that have given
the people of South Carolina faithful
and conscientious service in the posi-
ton of railroad commissioner. The
experience I now have makes me
well qualified for performing the
duties of the Office.
ssI do not fear defeat because of
the fact that I amlrequesting a second
term. I believe the voters Of South
Carolina will endorse my candidacy
when they are fully informed of the
many good things accomplished by the
commission since have been mem
Der of it. lido not claim all the credit
of these things, for the gentlemen
associated with me have borne their
share of the burdens; still I am proud
of my record in the Office, and be-
lieve that I shall receive as my reward
therefor reelection at the hands of
the Democrats of South Carolina"

rats anything to do with the dread Of

Lindley Murray, the celebrated gram
marian, was born in Swatara, Pa, In
the year 1745. In 1765, after passing
four years in legal studies, he was ad-
mitted to the bar and soon afterward
married. When the Revolution began
he retired to cottage on Long Island,
New York, and spent four years in fish
ing, boating and fowling. Going to
New York in 1910, he entered into com
mercial speculatlons under the direc-
ton Of his father with such success
that at the close OF the Revolution he
was able to retire with a fortune to
beautiful place on the Hudson. Being
attacked, however, with muscular af-
lection, he was, induced to search an
other climate and sailed for England,
where he settled near the city Of York
and died there in 1926. His English
Grammar" was written for the use Of
young ladies' school near York in
1795, and its success was immediate
and extraordinary. Edition after edi-
ton was published In a few years. It
was introduced into all the English
and American schools and made his
name a household word in every coun-
try where the English language was
spoken. His later years were devoted
to the study OF botany, and his garden
at Holdgate in the variety and rarity
Of its plants surpassed the royal gar
dens at Kew.--Argonaut

GOVERNMENT
UPHELD BY THE ELECTIONS IN
JAPAN LAST WEEK.
Stability OF Present Cabinet Assured
by the Victory of Constitu-
| ti0naIists.

Toxic, May 1f,-The results Of
the general election held on Friday
in Toxic and throughout the prov
inces indicate that the constitutional
lists believe they have secured sub
stantial majority and the govern
ment expects to face the next diet
with majority over all combina-
lions.
Those best informed declare that
such a popular endorsement of the
government insures the stability OF
the present cabinet, although 1t is
understood that the premier, Marquis
Saionji recently expressed desire
to resign. Prince Ito, however, per-
suaded him not to do so, pointing out
the embarrassment that would result
from his resignation in the face Of
the endorsement of the people.
The announcement of this is ex-
pected to steady the market, relieve
the depression and restore conf
dence.

ENTIRE TOBACCO
CROPS WILL Be PUT
IN DURING WEEK

Almost an entire crop of tobacco
will be set out by farmers of western
kentucky this week. and considering
that 1t IS yet early in the season. pros
poets were never before so favorable
for a big crop of the weed.
The clear weather of the past ten
ndys gave every farmer an opportun-
fy to prepare his land, while a bet
er season for transplanting than the
present one caused by the rains of
yesterday and today, was never
known. Getting his crop out early
and all transplanted at the same time
gives the farmer a distinct advantage,
causing the growth to be uniform, in
addition to removing all danger of
the croy remaining in the field late
enough to be killed by frost.
Reports are that the acreage will
be larger this year than ever before
and with a continuation of the favor
able weather conditions, the biggest
crop of tobacco ever known will be
raised in the western district of the
"black patch this year.
However. while the farmer is smil-
ing over his tobacco crop prospects,
the situation does not look so good
for The corn crop. The fact that the
winter was mild caused tobacco plants
10 grow rapidly and the grower was
forced to turn his attention to prepar-
ing Tobacco land before he began to
plant corn.
This will cause corn to be late and
stand in danger of frost; but as to-
bacco is the ''money crop" the aver
age farmer is satisfied with the situa-
ton. Western Kentucky never raises
more corn than is needed for home
Use, and there is yet time enough to
plant other forage crops that never
fail, which would make good any loss
caused by corn being planted late.
