SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

- Columbia State, Thursday: DR.,
James H. Mcintosh, who accom-
panied ex-Gov, Hayward to Philadel-
phia last week, has returned to the
city. DIR. Mcintosh states that the
diagnosis Of Gov Heyward's illness
which was made by himself and Dr.
LeGrand Guerry, was confirmed by
DR.. Wharton Sinkler Of the Ortho-
poedic hospital and that DIR. Sinkler
agrees with Drs. Mcintosh and Guer-
~ that under no circumstances could
Gov Hayward have stood the cam
paign this summer. DR.. Mcintosh
thinks that it will be at least six
weeks and possibly longer before
Gov Hayward is able to leave the hos
pital and even then he will not be in
condition to resume his business du-
ties, so that it will likely be Septem-
Der before he returns to Columbia.
Not only do the physicians consider
that he could not have made the cam
Yass of the state, but they also are
agreed that it was necessary for him
to be free from anxiety and worry
which would have been incident from
his remaining a candidate, even if he
had not followed the campaign.
- Union, June 16: Allan Nichol-
son, editor and publisher of Progress,
a newspaper of this city, was COM
pletely and promptly vindicated OF
alleged libel in the case brought
against him by w. r. Gillian, the
jury returning a verdict for the de-
fendant within a few minutes after 1t
had been given the case. though the
verdict was not officially announced
until this morning. The cause of the
action grew out of the publication in
Progress of a story of the finding of
the body of an old negro named
Nose Hughes in Tiger river with his
hands and feet tied. with ropes, with
a large rock around his neck and
with rocks filing his pants legs, to-
gether with the rumOr which was
current i'm that neighborhoOd at the
time, and which was furnished a
Progress reporter sent to investigate
the matter, in statement signed by
George O. Hughey, as magistrate OF
Union county. he being the man who
held the inquest, that certain white
men were implicated in the crime,
one of them the plaintiff i'm the ac-
ton. The case has been heard twice
before but resulted in mistrials.

CORN IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Some Splendid Records Receive Con-
spicuous Attention.


In the current issue of the South
ern Field. NJ. V. Richards has some
interesting things to say about South
Carolina, and what the people are
doing in agriculture. manufacturing
and other lines of industry Discuss
ing the corn growing contest he says:
A corn growing contest is in prog
reSs i'm South Carolina, where there Is
much interest i'm the growing of this
cereal, one which is being stimulated
both by agricultural authorities and
individual effort. The state is offer
ing cash prizes of $500 for the best
crops of this year, which will also
compete for SIS offered by the state
1 fair association. Other prizes will be
warded in the different counties, the
Merchants and Planters Bank and
he Cherokee County News, both OF
3Gaffney, having offered $50 and $25
: for the best yield in Cherokee county,
and the Farmers Union of York
county, three prizes of $3.50, $3.50
and 500, respectively, for the best
results in that county. The compe-
titiOn for these prizes will undoubted-
ly result in some great records, such
as will surprise the growers in the
we'll known corn growing states or
the central west. as South Carolina
has in the past demonstrated its
adaptability to the production or
corn by growing crops which have
r won the national prizes in compel-
ton with the entire country In 1891
DR.. J. w. Parker gathered three hun
dred and fifty-nine bushels of corn
from two acres, and from a single
acre secured two hundred bushels
and twelve quarts. These yields were
from land just outside of Columbia,
which is yet in cultivation. In 1888
Capt. Zachariah j. Drake won the
prize in a national contest, producing
two hundred and fifty-five bushels of
Shelled corn from one acre. Inc
fourth prize in this contest was also
awarded a South Carolinian, J. Shell
ing. whose record was one hundred
and thirty-one bushels from one acre.
The national contest for 1906 was
also won by South Carolina, A. };
Tindal growing one hundred ana
eighty-two bushels OF corn on ms
acre. In this contest B. +. Moore,
also of South Carolina, won the third
prize by the growing of one hundred
and twenty bushels. South Carolina's s
purely commercial crops of corn are
also worthy of record, as shown by
the WELD secured by w. r. Walker,
of Cherokee county, who, last year
produced about one hundred buShels
of corn to the acre on six acres OF up
land and ten acres of bottom lana.
Mr.. Walkers entire crop of last sea-
son. from forty acres of upland and
|. Gfty. acres of bottom land, was fifty
bushels to the acre. Mr.. Walker is
cattle raiser and last year fed three
hundred Angus cattle, enriching his
land from this source and pea vines
Eight years ago the land producing
his corn made but fifteen to twenty
bushels per acre, with the aid or COM
7 ~
was grown without any commercial
fertilizer

the utterance concerning Prohibition, said to have
been made by Secretary of War Taft in his book,

Attention was first called to this matter when
some two months or more ago practically every
liquor paper in the country published statement
which they professed to quote from that volume.
That statement it appeared in Bonforts Wine

much indignation. The wording of that

In view of all this after reading the reaffirma-
ton of Republican doctrine in the platform of
1908, Mr.. Patton addressed letter of inquiry to
the reputed author of the Republican platform,
Attorney General Ellis of Ohio, as follows:
"Sprngfed, ILL.,. June 22 1908.
"HoN. WADE ELLIS

A second reading of the platform of the Re-

that contrary to supposition, the document, prop
v interpreted, is by no means silent upon the
libition question. The final paragraph of the
