WILSON FOR SENATOR

With the disclosures made in the
Sullivan estate case, involving Sen
ator Piles and the supreme court in
unsayory rumo.s, and with almost
positive evidence that Piles and 6
syndicate of vealthy capitalists made
a deal whereby the million dollar
estate of the dead Irishman was di-
vided among them, Piles ought tC
States senator to succeed himself
Unless he can prove beyond the
shadow Of a reasonable doubt that
he is not guilty of the ugly charges
made against him-and no proof or
denial has been offered yet--he is
unfit to represent the state in the
United States corrupt as that body
is.
Washington is entitled to be re-
presented by a clean man in the
United States senate. Enough cor
rupticn, dishonesty and incompet-
eQcv has been unearthed to almost
damn the state in the eyes of decent
people, and it is time that these
men-eyery one of them against
whom such charges have been made
should be forever retired to private
life. Washington is entitled to a new
deal and clean deck. Piles ought
not to be considered as a possible
candidate to succeed himself
John l.. Wilson is being mention
ed as a probable candidate. The
state might do, and frequently has
done much worse than send Wilson
back to the United States senate. Nc
breath of scandal has ever been at
tached to Wilson. He made many
enemies, it is true. but that is q
characteristic of every man who sue
ceeds. Those who do not or cannot
succeed are always jealous Of hin
and become his enemies. No one
will deny that when John l.. Wilson
was in the lower as well as in the
upper house of congress he worked
increasingly and untiringly for the
welfare of this state and he got
more for Washington than any con
gresham or senator the state has
ever had Washington is entitled tC
have a clean man in the senate anC
no one has ever charged Wilson
with dishonesty or dirty politics.

The Herald is glad that the Tri-
bune did not mean to impugn the
honesty of the farm ers who were
selected to manage the Pullman
Union Warehouse Company's bust
ness at Pullman. The Herald was
shocked and surprised when the Tri-
bune's first article was published
for 1t regarded these men as above
suspicion. The Tribune, in its last
issue, stated that it did not mean to
impugn the motives nor honesty of
these men but wanted to advise them
a. TO the kind of men they should
employ. No doubt these men feel
pleased to know that the Tribune
editor is able and willing to give
them advice ana with this able back
ing there is no doubt that they will
make a decided success of the ware
house business in Pullman. There
should be a rush to secure the stock
now.

The State Farmers Union will meet
the day these lines are before my
readers. trust 1t will put in motion
plans for the systematic study of
farm economy. 1t seems to me that
there should be the closest co-opera-
ton between tn Union and the agri-
cultural department and experiment
stations. The union members know
what our people need and can suggest
forms of help that may never occur
to the officials of the department of

should make 1t our study to know.

INTERESTING WORK IN ALFAI,-
FA GROWING.
report by Barnwell Farmer to Prof.
"A. q. Smith Shows Results Highly
Satisfactory.

Columbia. July 21.-Prof. A. G.
mith, who has charge of the work

industry in South Carolina, will short

hat has been done by that depart
nent in this State. The pamphlet
Will give an account of what has been
lone in growing burr clover, GRIM
son clover, red clover vetch and alfal-
ia. There are over 80 fields of alfalfa
in this State. These fields are located
n almost every section and as Prof.
smith expressed it the success OF
growing this plant "is almost in
sight. Alfalfa is one of the most
profitable crops that can be grown.
as it brings good prices and several
crops can be raised during the year.
The first alfalfa to any extent was
planted in South Carolina about
three years ago. Fields of alfalfa are
found in Sumter, Richland, Green
wood and Barnwell counties. The
plant industry work last year in this
state was in charge Of Prof. c.. L.
Goodrich.
A very interesting letter has been
received by Prof Smith from Mr. AL
fred G. Smith, prominent Barnwell
County planter, who has a field of al
falfa. The following is the letter:
Il thought you might like to hear
.icv my alfalfa is doing, so 1 will
write you today. You will remember
when you were down here last it was
beginning to bloom and 1 had cut one
crop of hay before you were here.
Well, here is what has been done 90

of hay April 10, 900 pounds; cut sec

II believe it will average five inches
now. very green and pretty.
Il did not weigh all of the different
crops Of hay. Before 1 cut the MAY
crop selected an average spot, stuck
down stick and when hay was
cured, measured off a square, raked
this to itself and weighed, then null

time that it was going to be very
short indeed, for it was very dry and
commenced to bud and bloom while
quite low, but we got rain on it about
the 18th and it sure did get a move
on it. For week We had rain off
and on, too much for cotton and
some corn.
This crop came to maturity So
