To Demonstrators and Co-operators:
Many farmers in the South 90 not
seem TO realize the Importance OF tnls
valuable plant in their farming oper-
;ations. In fact, many OF them nave
never grown it and consequently are
.sot familiar with the methods TO De
pursued to succeed with it.
This plant has many QUALITIES to
commend it to our attention. 1t fur-
nishes one of our best winter cover
crops, and at the same time gives $
considerable grazing to all stock at a
zine when most needed; It makes a
.good soiling crop, a splendid hay II

correspondence to each Of the dispen-

ANSEL UPHOLDS LYON.
Governor Tells Fairfield Chairman
Opinion is the Law.

Columbia, July 28.-It is not likely
that the Fairfield County dispensa-
ries will remain open as threatened
after August l8, or that any other
dispensaries will attempt the same
thing, as Governor Ansel has written
Dr.. J. J. Robertson, Of the Fairfield
board, that he fully concurs in Gen.
Lyons opinion, ,and that this opinion is
the law and must be followed by the
county dispensary boards and coun-
ty dispensaries. This means that if
any Of the county dispensa1ies are
kept open, it will be in defiance Of the
Instructions to close down from the
evening of the I'd Of August until the
result is declared by the State board
Of canvassers.
Governor Ansel's letter to DR.. Rob-
ertson, chairman Of the Fairfield dis
pensary board, is as follows:
DR.. J. J. Robertson, Chairman Fair
field County Dispensary BOARD, Blythe
wood, S. C.-Dear Sir: I have your
letter Of the 9th instant with refer
ence to the opinion Of General Lyon
as to when the dispensaries shall re-
open after the election on August II.

applying from 500 to 1000 pounds Of
lime per acre, or by the Use Of floats
or ground shells. Acid soils usually
have sorrel growing on them. An
acid condition may also be determined
by testing the soil with blus litmus
paper. 1t is useless to plant clover
on wet soil. Either good form Of
surface drainage runder drainage
should be practiced if clover is to be
planted there.
Crimson clover promises to supply
long felt want in filling out good
system Of rotation Of crops. A rota-
ton is needed on all farms. Until
acquainted with methods Of growing
it, farmers should plant only small
area, just an acre or two. This will
not be expensive, the seed for planting
an acre ordinarily cost little over a
dollar. Glover should not supplant
cowpeas. Both are valuable, one
growing in the winter and the other
in the summer, thus allowing the far
mer two chances for soil improvement
crops every year. Southern soils,
especially, need some such winter
cover crops as clover to prevent wash
ing and bleaching and to add fertility
and life giving humus. The value Of
clover in preventing washing was we'll
demonstrated during the heavy, pro-
tracted rains which recently prevailed
over a large part of the State. On
rolling land, even where deeply plow-
ed, but without vegetable matter, gull
lies were washed, carrying off tons OF
the best part of the soil which it will
take years to restore. Humus also
keeps the soil mellow and enables it to
store and hold sufficient moisture to
produce crops during the hot months
Of summer when they require it in
enormous amounts. Farmers who ex-
pect to make good under the new con-
ditions Of Southern agriculture must
try new crops. There are many val
liable things about farming which we
do not yet know. No progressive far
mer will neglect this important crop.

WRIGHT ACHIEVES TRIUMPH.
Aviator Makes Ten-Mile Flight, Car
rying Passenger.-Al Speed
Records Broken.

Washington, July 3O.-Orville
Wright this evening attained the
zenith Of hard earned success. In a
ten-mile cross-country flight in the
famous aeroplane, built by himself
and his elder brother, Wilbur, and
accompanied by Lieut.. Benjamin D.
Foulois, an intrepid officer of the
army signal corps he not only sur
passed the speed requirements of his
contract with the United States Gov
ernment, but accomplished the most
difficult and daring flight ever plan
ned for a heavier-than-air flying ma
chine. Incidentally he broke all
speed records over a measured course.
And he established beyond dispute
the practicability Of an aeroplane IN
time Of peace and in time OF war.
His speed was over 42 miles an
hour: he made the ten-mile flight from
Fort Myer and back in Il minutes and
forty-two seconds, including the more
than twenty seconds required for the
turn beyond the line at Shutter Hill,
the southern end of the course. He
attained a height in crossing the val
lev Of Four Mile Run Of nearly 500
feet. and the average altitude OF MS
practically level course was about 2oo
feet above the ground.
President Taft, who had become an
enthusiastic spectator of the aero
plane trials, although two years ago
when Secretary of War, he is said to
have expressed to officers profound
scepticism as to the accomplishment
Of such feat as that of which to-day
he saw the completion, arriving upon
the parade grounds at Fort Myer just
in time to see the aeroplane land and
10 participate in the wild demonstra-
ton which welcomed the triumphant
zaviators. He sent an officer to bear
his congratulations to the vlctors.

IS
TURNED DOWN
Offer From Democrats Is Not
Considered by Board
Majority.

The Democrats, through one of the
party leaders, yesterday gave out a
tentative plan of compromise, whereby
the present trouble between the Mayor
and the Republican majority of the
Supervisors might be settled and bust
ness proceed satisfactorily until such
time as an agreed statement of facts
might be submitted to the Supreme
Court. The plan arose from sugges-
ton made by w. o. Smith, adopted by
the Democrats and agreed to, and sub
caucus. The Republicans turned it
down fatty and things this morning are
just where they were on Monday last.
The proposal of the Mayor and his
advisers was: The proceedings of the
board up to yesterday to be wiped out
and fresh start made; the Mayor to
waive any rights that the law might
have given him to make appointments
prior to December so, 1908; to concede
the appointment of the standing COM
mittees of the board as desired by the
Republican members, with the agree
ment that place on one more COM
mittee be given Supervisor Mcclellan;
to agree to nominate for the heads of
the various city departments Repub
licans with the exception of the road
apprenticeship, which was to go to a
Democrat. The Republicans were ask
ed to concede the right of the Mayor
to make the appointments to the city
Offices with the approval of the board !;
to agree to confirm his appointment of
Wilson as road supervisor; to withdraw
their rule empowering the committees
to employ the various lieutenants and
laborers of the various departments,
delegating that right to the depart
mental heads as has heretofore been
done, and to forego the claim they have
practically made to incur obligations
against the county without first submit
ting any mourning action to the Mayor
for his veto or approval.

after the Nippon Maru mail arrived.
He was seen to leave his Office and go
to the lavatory. Later the lavatory
door was opened and Mr.. Stayton was
found with the two envelopes address
ed to Mr.. Hare and the one addressed
to Mr.. Carr The latter one had been
opened and Mr.. Stayton was reading
the enclosure when caught
On being taken to Mr.. Breckons of
fee he admitted that he had distracted
the letters from the mail and that he
had opened the Carr letter. and that
he had frequently done this before and
had gone so far as to destroy letters.
This accounted for the requests that
came from the Postoffice Department,
calling attention to the fact that Mr.,
Hare had not answered some of the of
fetal communications.
Tt is stated that at the investigation
Mr.. Stayton gave an odd excuse for
his action. He said that he was over.
worked and had feared that an order
would come ordering a new inspection
of his office and he didn It want such
an inspection, and therefore intercept
ed the letters.
The penalty for opening letters adj
dressed to others and destroying the
contents is severe, and is particularly
so when an employee of the postoffice
department is the guilty one. The pub
he's only safeguard in having mail
properly forwarded is through the hon
esty of its employees. Where this hon
esty fails the public is at the mercy
of men on the inside.
Mr.. Stayton has been connected with
the Honolulu postoffice for several
years, and rose from clerkship to his
present position after showing devotion
to his duties. He is a young man and
has enjoyed blameless name up to the
present time.

LINCOLN DAY
Republicans Take Steps for
Appropriate Ceremonies
on February IL.

Lincoln Day. is to be celebrated
here under the auspices of the Repub.
lican party as well as under the aus.
piees of the Civic Federation. In
neither case, however, is there any in
tention to draw party lines over the
memory of the great American. The
fact that the Republican executive has
taken the initiative in the matter is
explained in the following resolution,
passed at meeting of the Territorial
executive committee yesterday after
noon, while a tentative naval and mill
tary program is also outlined:
Whereas, February u, 1909, will
be the one hundredth anniversary of
the birth of Abraham Lincoln, that i'm
mortal spirit whose fame has brighten
ed with receding years and whose name
stands among the first of those given
to the world by the great republic of
the United States of America and
Whereas, The National Republican
Convention held in the city of Chicago
on June 10, 1908, took recognition of
this important fact by recommending
that this centennial anniversary be eele-
brated throughout the confines of the
nation by all the people, and especially
by the public schools as an exercise TO
stir the patriotism of the youth of the
land; and
