Dead Officers Daughter Lays Blame

Editor The Record:
have seen several clippings in your
good paper on the Sellers murder
case. Some ask the question. who is
to blame for the murder of my father.
Jas. P. Farmer, and who is to blame
for the verdict of that jury? In my
candid opinion Governor Ansel is
most to blame. I do know that he
ir sisted continually that father catch
that fellow Sellers" He wanted him
put out of his blind tiger business. He
was simply doing the governors bid
ding and then when father was bru-
tally murdered, as he was, what did
our governor do? He never turned a
hand or said or did anything, all Of
which makes me say "our governor
Is responsible"
If he had done anything in the
world to help the State get justice,
would IT not have looked more like
he really was governor?
Now as to the trial and acquittaI.

my version of It. 1t is the way some
Of those lawyers have Of selecting tho

Some years ago old Prof. Newman
told us In the court house in Sumter
that in oats. cowpeas. sorgum and
corn we had all the forage and grain
crops the average farmer would suc-
ceed with. The reason he gave was
that for many of the other forage
crops that are exploited we have to
buy seed every year. Another rea-
son was that many of them are very
delicate and have to be carefully
nursed. The average farmer will be
sure to neglect them at critical time
and fail, or neglect some other more
important crop II he succeeds with
the exotic. Pretty sound reasoning
as I have found to my cost.

Two Great Crops.

Nothing will equal the cowpea and
crimson clover sown together for
young orchards. This mixture also
makes very valuable poultry pas

and crimson clover extensively as cat

purpose they cannot be excelled. To
get good results from crimson clover
one must SOW on well-prepared soil
While on this question let me again
thank Prof. Massey for teaching me
how to save good pea hay. His meth
