LOOKS A LITTLE DUBIOUS.

One of the leading doctrines Of the
Farmers Cooperative Demonstration
work in this state is that lands must
not be left bare in winter; but must be
protected by cover crop intended SOLE
ly to prevent teaching and washing and
destined to be plowed under in the
spring of the year to furnish humus.
There was a meeting of the various
county demonstration agents in Co
lumbia last week, called for the pur-
pose of giving in past experiences and
planning the campaign that is to be
pushed with more thoroughness and
care this year than ever.
Speaking of this meeting during his
visit to Yorkville yesterday, Mr.. L. G.
Chappell, one Of the demonstrators,
mentioned the fact that the most strik-
ing feature of the reports was that
co-operators and demonstrators, who
had sowed oats as a cover crop, were
hesitating about plowing them under.
The oats, in some cases sowed at a
venture, were looking SO nne tnat tne
owners did not fancy the idea of turn
ing them into humus, evidently feel
ing that bird in hand was worth two
in the bush. The demonstrators gen.
orally have taken the situation phil
osophically and good naturedly, and
where they encounter this reluctance,
they are urging the farmers interested
to plow under one-half and leave the
other half to be harvested. The agri-
cultural department feels confident that
by this method it can drive home the
lesson it seeks to teach, even more
effectually than if all the cover crops
should be plowed under in accordance
with the original intentions.

WE desire to call the especial atten-
ton of our farmer friends to the inau-
guration Of the farm demonstration
work in this county under the direction
of the United States department OF
agriculture. The nature Of this work
and what has been accomplished since
it was commenced in this state, are
pretty we'll known to most of our read
ers. The appropriation for the work
is limited and only a few states are
getting the benefit Of 1t. For its in
PRODUCTION in this county, our people
are largely indebted to Mr.. ]. Frank
Ashe, president of the York County
Farmers Union. He was early IN
position to see what was being done,
and at once took steps to impress
Prof. Ira w. Williams, the state super
intendent, with the fact that York
county has enough intelligent farmers
to insure proper appreciation Of such
a progressive movement. Up to this
time only a few counties have been
included in the work, and those on the
ground floor have cause for congrat-
ulation, as there is reason to believe
that in the case Of each of them the
department will continue its efforts for
a period of years.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

- The people in the Marietta section
of Greenville county are excited over
the alleged presence Of "varmint' In
the neighborhood. 1t is said to be eat
ing hogs, dogs and other things.
The Columbia Record states that
controlling interest in that paper,
until recently held by Geo. r. Keoster,
has been sold to Jas. A. Hoyt and as
sociates, and this means that there
will be no second afternoon daily in
Columbia.
The house on yesterday passed
the following with reference to the
giving of worthless checks: "Sec-
ton l. That from and after the ap-
proval of this act any person who
shall draw and utter any check or
draft on a bank or banking house in
which he has no funds or not funds
sufficient to pay such check or draft,
and who on being notified OF refusal
of the hank or banking house to hon
on such check or draft and shall fall
for 20 days to deposit funds sufficient
to meet the same, shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon
conviction shall be punished by fine
or Imprisonment or by fine and i'm
prisonment in the discretion of the
court"
Columbia State, Wednesday: Com
missioner McMaster has taken g very
decided stand in the case of the Union
Central Life Insurance company OF
Cincinnati, o. 1t may be that this COM
pany will be prohibited from engaging
IN business in this state hereafter. Ii
may be recalled that some months ago
statements were published in the pa
pers to the effect that the Union Cen
tral Life Insurance company OF Gin
cinnati, O., had declared a dividend to
its stockholders of 100000, said to
have been derived from the profits of
its participating business. There
was considerable discussion among in
surance men at the time as to the pro-
priety Of this. In certain quarters II
was alleged that such dividend was in
variance to statements made by an Of
ficer of the company in the investiga-
ton before the Wisconsin committee
in 1906, when it was alleged that an
officer of the company had stated that
the participating business showed
loss In consideration of all of this
a number of commissioners proceeded
to investigate. Commissioner McMaS-
ter has just received a report on the
subject, signed by the commissioners
of Michigan, Minnesota, Connecticut
Maryland and Virginia, which is to
the effect that as a result of their in
vestigation they conclude that the
company was not justified in declaring
the stock dividend Of 100000. and they
have made demand on the company to
return to the treasury certificates of
stocks issued for this 100000, and a
dividend Of 5 per cent on said stock.
In view of these findings Commission
er McMaSter has notified the Union
Central Life Insurance company that
unless the company causes the re-
turn to the treasury of the 100000 of
certificates and the per cent dividend
on the same and gives satisfactory rea-
sons for having issued said stock and
dividend he will decline to relicense it
for the next year.

THE SPECULATIVE MARKET.

Following were the developments in
the speculative cotton market yester-
day as summarized last night in an
Associated Press dispatch from New
York:
The cotton market showed continued
nervousness today but received better
support on the whole closing steady,
net 3 points lower to l point higher.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of points on March, but gen.
orally unchanged to 3 points lower in
response to disappointing cables. Lead
ing interests seemed to be buying a lit
tie more freely than of late, continued
dry weather in the southwest promoted
a scattering investment demand for
new crop months, and the late posi-
tions were also In demand by foreign
houses for the purpose Of undoing
straddles between New York and Liv-
erpool. Early offerings were we'll alb
sorbed consequently and during the
middle of the morning the active
months sold up to net advance OF
about 2 to points. But after the close
of Liverpool, buying orders became
smaller and during the middle session
there was a renewal of Wall street H.
uuidation and local bear pressure due
to apprehension regarding the effect
of an unsettled stock market, talk Of

who have really succeeded In intimidat-
ing minor courts. They know they
cannot intimidate the entire local pub
lie for which the minor courts stand;
but at the same time they recognize
that there Is very little danger Of the
entire local public being aroused ex-
cept through newspaper publicity. 1t
is common therefore to seek to intim-
idate the newspaper. II the editor can
be silenced, and the public kept In ig-
norance Of an outrage against 1t, pun
ishment may be avoided. Every editor
will fully appreciate what Is said
about giving pain and distress to wife,
mother, sister, etc. There are few edi-
tors who would not make almost any
personal sacrifice to avoid anything
like this, But after all, does this pain
and distress arise from the misconduct
of husband, brother or son, or the pub
licity by the newspaper? The answer
to that is plain. II the newspaper pub
licity is untrue, then while there may
be anger and resentment, there is no
pain or distress. There is nothing but
temporary injury, and ample means OF
1t is not pleasant for an
editor to feel called upon to print even
a true statement in the face Of threat
against his life; but often that very
thing has to be done. AS to police
court proceedings we have no rule.
Our view, based on the experience of
a great many years is somewhat diff
ferent from that of the Herald. We
do not hold to the idea Of publishing
one case or all. There are hundreds
of cases that are not worth publishing.
The only cases that are really worth
are those In which the pub
lie has the most concern, and these are
the same in which the defendants show
most desperation in suppressing the
facts. And what is the duty Of the
editor under such circumstances? We
can only leave each individual to decide
the matter for himself. But when 1t
comes to the point that the life of
the editor is the only safeguard that
is left against anarchy, that life Is OF
but little consequence in comparison
to what will likely follow.

FROM the daily papers of this morn
ing, it appears that the senate has
agreed upon an amendment to the house
prohibition bill, whereby total prohi-
bition will be declared on July !, Then
on July Is, those counties in which
dispensaries are now in operation Will
hold elections as between continuing
prohibition and re-opening the dispen-
saries. Those counties which vote
against the dispensaries will have pro-
hibition and those counties which vote
for the continuance Of the dispensaries
will resume their present status. The
understanding is that the prohibition
leader in the house will not accept
this amendment and the probability is
that the general assembly will ADJOURN
tomorrow without having done any
thing to change the present status OF
the liquor question in the state.

Columbia, February 26.-Many of
the house Prohibitionists today are
hopping mad with OTIS on account OF
this tactical blunder last night in al
lowing the senate to run the shoat over
him as to the referendum matter. They
assert that he agreed to support Chris
tensen's proposition and then went back
on the agreement. House Prohibitionists
say that Otis is a self-appointed leader
anyway; that most Of the Prohibition
lists wanted Carlisle. 1t is freely as
serted that Otis has been selected by
the governor for the vacant solicitor
ship in his circuit to succeed Sease. 1t
is now probable that all liquor legisla-
ton will die a borning in free confer.

have nothing to do with the Christen-
