The Leaumss as Stock Ee.d

The legumes, such as all the Glow.

forage plants known to man. They are

tanning, as they do, a higher per cent
OF nitrogen, the most rare and costly
element in stock feed, than any other
forage plants, gives them their greater

MAKES HEADS SEEM SMALLER
One Effect Of the Return Of More Nat.
ural Styles In Makeup Of the
Colffure.

AS a result Of the radical change In
the :oifure heads are much smaller
than they have appeared in many
months. A man heard expressing his
views the other day said: Women
look AIore natural, and | am glad to
see that their sense In the matter Of
hairdreAsing has been restored" But
with the new and simpler styles now
being int oduced by hairdressers there
are all sorts Of artistic pads and
frames over which to arrange the coils
and braids. And let II be understood
that the smiTt couture Of the moment
Is not made up Of odds and ends, as
was the case when myriads Of little
puns were the vogue. To be correct.
ly "coiied" one must now have q 30
inch switch Of matching hair. Such
switches cost no small amount, as they
must be Of long strands and very
thick. From $40 to $50 buys fairly
good one, while II the color is unusual
the price is higher.
Just where these long switches are
to come from is a worrying problem
to the dealer, as the poor peasant
girls Of Brittany have been cropped OF
their lovely locks for the past few
years in order to supply the trade, they
now have no long braids to offer, no
matter how tempting the prices
may be.

The New Box Sets.

They are to be used in place Of the
old-time chiffonier.
They consist Of three relays of en-.
aneline and cretonned boxes, set In
wooden stands.
The boxes come six In q set for
waists, six for toilet accessories Of all
kinds, and three for hats.
The boxes are each hinged, the front
half of the cover turning over the back,
so that 1t is unnecessary to pull the
box completely out to open It.
The waist boxes are long enough to
lay the waists out fiat In them.
The hat boxes also are sufficiently
large to accommodate any hat.
The third set hold wells, gloves, col.
lars, jabots and the like.
The inside finish is Of enamel, and
the outside is covered with cretonne,
which may be chosen to match the
furnishings Of the room into which II
is to be placed.

Showing Value Of Phosphate.

Manure versus manure with rock phos-
phate on potatoes. The use Of rock phos-
plate in addition to the manure in
creased the yield II per cent
tivated in Ireland as q safeguard
against FAM. The fact that it is
universally cultivated in that country
has given rise 70 such names for the
potato as "Murphys," "spuds," Irish
potato" etc., might lead one to be-
lieve that the potato actually original
ed in that country. Authentic records
show that the potato fields of Ireland
were visited by blight or rot in 1886
Al, and that many thousands of peo
pie starved to death as a result of be-
ing deprived of their chief food sup
ply.
It was not until about 1870 that the
great improvement of the potato be-
gan. Varieties have been multiplied,
the quality has been improved, and
to-day the potato is grown In nearly
every country on the globe.

suggest sometimes a faint relation.
ship to the draped models.
With coats Dame Fashion is entire
ly sensible, and the most rewarding OF
the many long and admirable models
is by all odds the one built on prin.
cess lines, this giving, with its perfect
cut and fit, the look Of a coat and
gown In one. Such styles are dis.
played for all ages, and If the models
are pretty on slim, youthful figures,
they are as pretty and Disgusting for
stouter and older ones. She who has
taken on more pounds than the laws
Of fashion allow had better look to
one Of these coats for her salvation,
for they seem to shave OF bulges at
bust and hips with incredible ease. A
Russian turban, or a stir walking hat
turned up sharply at the left and
trimmed in tailored manner, are cor
rect and becoming headpieces for such
coats.
The woman who looks to her own
needle and ten clever fingers for most
of her pretty things, and those of her
daughters, will find several of the new
fashion ideas set forth in the models
illustrated this week.
The costume shown in the illustra,
ton, which displays phase of the
prevailing overskirt malady, is in two
pieces, plated skirt with a hip
drapery, and what is often called a
folded bodice" The skirt is built
upon a plain hip yoke, in order that
the over-shirred piece at the hips may
lie as fatty as possible. The finish at
the waist line is left loose, so that
when the two pieces are together the
drapery Stimulates a single piece.
The draped bodice is built upon a
fitted foundation and shows a guimpe
of allover lace and tucked vest front.
The bordering used is made by hand
and is of velvet and silk.
Cashmere, yelling or a simple silk
or delaine are all feasible for such a
costume, which is more for house pur.
poses than outdoors, though a long
coat would render it entirely fit for
street wear. As to the trimming, let
me tell you that a bias band of silk,
the color Of the gown, bordered on
each side with row of narrow velvet
ribbon, would be quite as effective as
the elaborate trimming illustrated.
With plain-colored wool, a narrow.
Powered ribbon could also be used

Natural Evolution of the TuIIe Rufle

The tulle ruffle has brought In its

IN which Paris at present is revealing.
In that city the boa is worn so long
that 1t falls almost to the hem of the
skirt and is very fat and round in
all Its length, particularly, Of course,
around the throat. These boas are

are smart, SO, Of course, every woman

rare and brought from remote parts
OF the world, where they are probably
the currency Of the realm and the sole
dover Of brides more or less fair.

POTATO AS FOOD PRODUCT

Great Crops Of Distinctly
American Origin.

The potato ranking next to wheat
as the great food product for the hu.

great crops Of distinctly American
origin, has q history worthy Of our
consideration.
In botany 1t belongs to the family
Solonacae, a family Of about 1900
species, including such well-known
plants as the tomato, egg plant, pep
pers, tobacco, capsicum, belladonna
and others.

Glover and Alfalfa for Hor,.,

There is general feeling among
farmers and horsemen that clover and
alfalfa hay is not well adapted to
horses. The reason for this belief is
largely due to the fact that legume
lay is often very dusty and some.
times moldy. The fact remains, how.
ever, that all legume hay is not thus
lnhtted for horse feeding. Where
properly put up 1t is as valuable for
young growing horses and brood
mares as 1t is for other stock

Prohibition Speech.

Hon. Seaborn Wright, of Georgia,
delivered an address in the court
house here last Thursday on the sub
ject of prohibition. The speaking
commenced about twelve o'clock,
and for about an hour Mr.. Wright
entertained his hearers, all of whom
seemed to enjoy his remarks, he be-
ing frequently interrupted by hearty
applause.
The meeting was presided over by
Mayor J. Aldrich Wyman, Esq, who
called on Rev. o. J. Frier to offer
prayer. Afterwards ]. F. Carter,
Esq, made some announcements in
reference to the law and order
league, of which he is president. Mr..
Wyman then gracefully and in we'll
chosen language introduced Mr..
Wright. A synopsis of the speech
cannot be attempted for lack Of
space, but it was a good prohibition
speech, so say those who heard it..
A large crowd was present to hear
the distinguished speaker, people
being here from all sections of the
county.

The matter of a reading room

8 magnificent room which could be
used for this purpose. AS the lodge
did not feel able just at this time to
buy books, magazines, etc., it was
suggested that each member bring to
the reading room magazines or peri
odicals which he had finished read
ing and exchange them for others,
and in this way circulate the reading
matter around, which is a capital
suggestion.

DR.. Nell to Remain.

Anderson, August 10.-The board
of trustees of Clemson college will
meet in special session Thursday to
dispose of the resignation of Presi-
dent P. H. Nell.
This resignation was submitted
because the rules governing the COL
lege are not clear enough in defining
the duties of the commandant of
cadets to prevent the commandant
forming an opinion that he is higher
in authority than the president.
A committee of trustees has wait
ed on DR.. Nell and has under con-
sideration a revision of the rules as
suggested by him.
It is understood that the rules will
be changed and that DR.. Nell will be
asked to withdraw his resignation.

NEGRO WOMAN KILLED.
Claimed by the Slayer That Shooting
was Accidental.

Gaffney, August 7.-Mary Man
ming, a respectable colored woman,
was shot and killed this afternoon
at $50 by Jack Edwards at her
home in Gaffney. The woman lived
only 20 minutes after being shot.
Edwards, who is in Jail, is railroad
negro of unsavory reputation, who
has lived here for several years. Ed
wards claims that the shooting was
accidental and occurred while he
was tampering with the pistol, which
he claims he thought was unloaded.
The mother of the dead woman
says that she heard Edwards and
her daughter quarreling last Satur-
day afternoon and that he threaten
ed to kill her. A respectable white
man of the city says that Edwards
told him that Mary Manning had
stole sum of money from him and
that he intended to kill her.
Edwards was a fugitive from JUS
tice for several years, having been
charged with the murderous assault
upon a white man named Lawson
Wylie, but was never arrested for
this offense, as Wylie was not seri-
ously injured.

Fire Monday Morning.

Last Monday morning about five
o'clock the residence occupied by Mr..
W. H. Battley, linotype operator at
The Bamberg Herald office, and
owned by Mr.. J. Fielder Hunter, was
destroyed by fire. The family OF
Mr.. Battley is away, and he had got
ten up early and had little fire in
the kitchen stove, so it is supposed
the fire must have originated from
the stove fue. Mr.. Battley came on
down town to go to work, and soon
after getting here the alarm of fire
was given. The flames spread rapid
ly, and but little of the furniture
and household goods were saved,
one room being all that could be en-
tered, the house being so near
burned down.
Mr.. Hunter had insurance of ST.
900 on the house, while Mr.. Battley
carried insurance on his furniture
amounting to s250.00. His loss is
considerable, and the insurance will
not near cover it.
