ST. PAUL MAN WANTS
A GOLD MEDAL, TOO
Led Party, Of Which Miss Hattie
Baldwin Was One, Into
Halemaumau

A correspondent of the St. Paul Dis
patch, referring to the cabled account
from Honolulu of the descent into the
pit of Halemaumau of three Hiloites,
which said, in conclusion: 'This is the
first time this feat has been accom-
plished,' writes:
g Now this is not exactly another
ook-Peary episode, but it is a fact
that | was one of party of six or
eight boys and girls who performed
that feat forty-four years ago, in 1867.
1.-THE only other members of the par
ty whose names ! remember with GER
tainty were Oliver Emerson and Miss
Hattie Baldwin, son and daughter of
American missionaries in the Islands.
But if they or any others of my COM
panions are living they can eorroborate
my statement.
''The volcano is said to be the largest
in the world. My recollection is that
the crater was nine miles in circumfeT-
ence and about three miles in diam
eter. The surface of lava filing its
floor, like the contents of a basin, was
surrounded by more or less precipitous
sides, three hundred or four hundred
feet high. About equal parts of that
surface were white, red and gray. The
white hot portion was the roaring,
hubhling, billowing FIRE; the red-hot,
the partially cooled but still fluid lava,
and that shaded off into the gray crust
which was still less hot.
"With labor and probably some dam
ger, though / do not remember any
thing of our fear except that the girls
squealed a good deal, we descended the
prs0piee at what seemed the only posi-
BILE place for laundering, anu stood on
the gray lava,
''Thep we cautiously approached the
red surface, until our feet getting too
hot. the lava too sticky, and our eyes
suffering too much with the heat and
glare to enable US to avoid the bub-
bling boils here and there about us.
we were compelled to stoT. None IF
the boys wished to be the first to turn
back, and false pride kept us going on
after the natural courage common to
the human animal was exhausted. |
have a vivid recollection of forced
laughs and affected GOODNESS, which
was certainly the only GOODNESS there,
as we skipped over sheets of lava that
swayed and bent like tiekely-bender
ice. 1t was literally case for Lady
Macbeth IS phrase of "serew your cour-
age to the sticking place" However,
none of us took a lava-bath, a bad
thing to lave in.
''Though we knew that a slight in
crease in the volcanoes activity while
we were in the crater would mean
cheap cremation for all of us, it never
occurred to any of our party that we
had done anything very extraordinary,
and we never reported to any news
naper or scientific society. But if any
cold medals are TO be given for vol
cano exploration, l want Miss Hattie
Baldwin to have one.

The Legumes For Us 70
Grow.

We are frequently asked regarding
the relative feeding and fertilizing
values of the common legumes grown
in this section. For those who ara sat-
isfed with an approximate statement,
it may be sufficient to say that the
feeding values, ton for ton, are not
greatly different; and yet, on the other
hand, if we take, for instance, the pro-
tein content of red clover and vetch
hay, when is the basis for COM
pairing their feed vetch hay contains $40
pounds of protein only 246 pounds.
That is, on basis of the protein con-
tent, vetch has 3S per cent. greater
feeding value than red clover.
In answer to oft-asked questions
(which of these legumes is the best
nitrogen-gatherer or soil.impoyer?''
we have generally stated that for prac-
tical purposes the nitrogen gathered
might be compared on basis of the
amount Of growth, or hay produced ;
and therefore, in determining which
should be used, the suitability of the
soil for producing them, the season OF
the year to which they are adapted,
and the manner they fit in with the
basis of selection.
While the above statements are in a
broad sense true, it may be well fo1
the benefit of those desiring more def
mite information to compute the value
nf the nitrogen in ton of each of the
| common legune hays. This we have
done at a valuation of 20 cents q
pound for nitrogen.-ProgressiYe

Adams's Plea Refused.

The supreme court has refused to
reopen the case of the State against
r. A. Adams, thus finally disposing of
one of the remarkable criminal rec
ords of Colleton county. Adams kill
ed Henry Jacques about five years
ago, and after considerable trouble
was caught and tried for murder. He
was under death sentence, when he
escaped from Jail, and reward of
81 900 was offered by Governor Hey
ward for the man, dead or alive. It
was believed at the time that some Of
the county officials knew of the
whereabouts of Adams, but word was
finally sent in by the defendant that
he would surrender. This promise he
kept, and was landed in the county
Jail. Motions for new trials were re-
fused, but the State board of pardons
recommended his communication to a
life sentence in the penitentiary,
which was agreed upon by the Gov
ernor. Since then he has been in the
State Penitentiary, and the action OF
the supreme court in refusing to re-
open the case means the end of Ad-
ans for the remainder of his natural
life.

propounded to us we therefore pass
them up to those higher in authority
/. Has the Clerk of Court any
right to hold the fees? If not, why
do not the proper officials compel
him to turn them over to the County?
2. Has the County Board any
right to Withhold the Clerks salary?
If not, why does't he compel the
Board to pay it?
This is a matter that should be
settled. 1t would be better for the
County and better for Clerk of Court.

What "Diveysifsd Farming"
Means.

| What "Di7essidsd Farming"
Means.
MANY farmers think diversihcation
means trucking. Such farmers have
a wrong conception of it. Well, what
does it mean? It means this kind of
farming:
/. Make ample provision to plant
plenty of wheat. In all parts OF the
South where it can be grown success
fully and profitably we should supply
all home needs and have few barrels
OF hou to sell.
2. Sow oats to supply home mar
kets for seed and feed.
8. It has been demonstrated re-
Gently that in al portions of the South
on our uplands that there has been
grown from so to 100 bushels of corn
to the acre. Make corn.
4. 1t has also been demonstrated
that in any section of the South pork
can be raised cheaper than in the
Western States.
5. We can also raise horses and
mules as cheap here.
D 6. Dairying can be made as profit
able here in the South as in any
country.
The above system call 'diversifi ed
agriculture, which means success for
the Southern farmer.

Upon your shoulders, Ofrro. you bore

So when in the churches you come

strength? No. I can not fast" Then
said the hermit: You must pray" But
the heather replied: Nothing of pray

the patron saint of silence. The pic
ture-an excellent production OF the
seventeenth century-shows the queen
(who bears striking resemblance to
Catherine the Great OF Russia. and
concerning whom. to speak truth. one
could be made to credit the worst sus-
picions Of the irate Wenceslaus) and
the priest on the palace steps. The
queen is standing before the priest In
an attitude of humility. holding her
crown and scepter in her hands. as
though bowling her emblems OF tenn

sigma of the priest. San Juan looks
away from her. straight into the heav-

with one sweet gesture she directs his
attention to the upturned suppliant face
of San Juan In poetic contrast to
the sin and the suffering inpersonated
by the queen and the priest is the
young freshness and Joyous innocence
in the face of the babe. while his atti-
tude of childish compassion marvellous
ly shows the artists conception of the
mystic coexistence in the God child of
innocence and comprehension of human
woe.

ism. These three pictures were rescued
from destruction after securalization
and are now in the Caballeria collection

There is another sanity legend of
the child which one can not pass over.
In the early Christian era there was a
pagan named Offro, a man of gigantic
size and strength, who made the proud
boast that he would serve no master
but the greatest in all the world. So
he journeyed to the court of the might
lest king of the earth. where his al
legiance was gladly accepted. He
served the king for many months, when
one day he saw his sovereign, with a
gesture of terror. make the sign of the
cross. Offro questioned his master and
received the reply: Il make the sign
to protect me from the devil. who might
utterly destroy me-" Offro answered:
Then there is one greater than you,
since you fear him. This day leave
your service for his, since will serve
only the mightiest. So he left the
king and Journeyed many days until he
came upon a black and horrible army
moving over land laid in ruins by its
depredations. It's terrible leader was
the devil himself. so to him Offro
offered his services, which were eagerly
accepted. Offro then served the devil
many months, when one day the army
of devastation came upon the inter
section of three roads, where the cross
was set up. Upon sight of the holy
symbol the devil fed in CONSERVATION,
and to Offro's surprised inquiries re-
Piled: II fly from the sign OF him who
could destroy me-" Whereupon the
heather giant declared: ''This day
leave your service and seek him whom
you fear. for I will serve only the
greatest master"
So he journeyed weary miles, and at
last found a hermit whose cave was
