ANOTHER ROW ON.
Adjutant Generals Office Again in
the Limelight.

Columbia, June 25.-Another row
is pending in the Office of the ad-
jutant and inspector general. Since
the report of the court of inquiry as
to the expense accounts of w. T.
Brock, the assistant adjutant general
and the withdrawal from the race for
the Office by J. C. Boyd, the adjutant
general and Col. Brock there has pre-
vailed the atmosphere which may re-
suit in Gov. Ansel ordering another
court of inquiry to Investigate the Of
flee of adjutant general.
It will be remembered that the
court of inquiry called especial atten-
tion to the lax business system pre-
vailing in the Office of adjutant gen.
eral. Several days Col. Brock issued
a statement to the people of South
Carolina in which he gave his rea-
sons for not entering the race for
adjutant general. In making his eX-
planation as to filing his expense ac-
counts, he said that he had followed
the custom of the Office.
1t is known that Col. Brock has
prepared a letter in which he charges
that C. H. Cabaniss, the retired Uni
ted States army officer ranking
as a lieutenatnt, who is station
ed in the office of adjutant gen.
eral and who gave damaging
testimony in the controversy,
was drunk and made false report
on the inspections of the State mill
tia at town in the Pee Dee section
of the State. He charges that Col.
Cabaniss remained in his room all
day and did not make the inspections,
In this letter, which is addressed to
Gov. Ansel, it is asked that Gov. An
sci make request on the war depart
ment to have Col. Cabanisss removed.
This letter presumably was written
by Col. Brock. At the bottom there
is the following: THE Adjutant
General" with space for signing the
name. This letter was sent to Gen.
Boyd by Col Brock. Gen. Boyd said
that he had been asked by Col. Brock
to sign the letter and send it to Gov.
Ansel. Col. Brock will make. no
statement.
1t is known that unless Gen. Boyd
signs the letter and sends it to Gov.
Ansel that COL Brock will bring GER
tain charges against Gen. Boyd as to
his conduct while adjutant general.
kilograms and letters have been sent
out from the Office of adjutant gen
eral. Col. Cabaniss is at present in
Petersburg, Va.
During the military investigation,
which cost the State over $1,000, Col.
Cabaniss was the best friend that
Gen. Boyd had and put himself to
great deal of trouble in getting tes-
timony to show what his expenses
were in making the inspections of the
State militia. There was some un-
pleasantness on the stand between
Col. Brock and Col. Cabaniss.
Gov. Ansel has not arrived at de-
cision as to how the $1,000 will be
secured for the payment of the ex-
penses of the court of inquiry. He
has a contingent fund of $4,000. 1t
is hardly probable that the legisla-
ture will have to make an appropria-
ton for the inquiry.
The situation in the ad5utant gen
erals Office is proving interesting to
the public. 1t is believed that some
effort will be made at the next ses-
sion of the general assembly to take
the Office out of politics.

"More and Better Live Stock" "

throughout the lenSCn anu DreduIa
of South Carolina with the result
that the State has developed into one
of the great corn producing States
of the Union, is now to be supple
mented with another, believed to
mean even more for the prosperity
of the agricultural interests Of the
State, more and better live stock"
This is the slogan of the South Caro-
lima Live Stock Association which is
undertaking a vigorous campaign for
more COWS and hogs on the farms and
to this campaign will be given the
enthusiastic support of the State de-
partment of agriculture.
As a result, it is predicted that
thousands of acres Of idle pasture
lands will be converted into grazing
grounds for cattle and that in a few
years South Carolina will not only
be saving the millions annually sent
to western markets for live stock and
live stock products, but will be ship
ping live stock and meats to other
States of the South. This movement
on the part of the State department
of agriculture and the South Carolina
Live Stock Association is in line with
the efforts of a number of agencies
interested in the development Of the
agricultural resources Of the South.
The Southern Railway Company,
through it's land and industrial de-
partment, has for years urged that
more attention be given to live stock,
a. large portion of every issue Of it's
publication, The Southern Field,
being given to this subject, anil
in other ways has repeatedly called
attention to the great opportunities
open to the farmers Of the South in
this particular line, owing to the
great increase in the prices Of all
food products and consequent en-
larged profits in their production.
That in it's last analysis, the prob
lem of soil conservation and soil I'M
provement must find solution in the
increase of domestic animals on the
farms is the conclusion presented by
W. J. Spillman, agriculturist III
charge of the Office of farm manage
ment in the bureau of plant industry
of the United States department of
agriculture, in Farmers Bulletin
4O6, on "Soil Conservation, just is
sued by the department. This inter-
esting bulletin recommends the rails
ing of leguminous crops and the in
crease in the number of animals on
the farms as the best means to
adopt to bring unproductive soil to
high state of fertility. The use Of
agricultural lime as a supplement to
manure and commercial fertilizers
is being urged by many farm experts
as substantial aid in this work.
From 1900 to 1909 South Caro-
lina's live stock increased in value
from s2O,199,S59.0O to s45,7S0,OO0,-
90 according to the tax figures re-
ported to the State comptroller gen.
eral. AS a result Of the campaign
now being inaugurated, it is hoped in
the next few years to effect an in
crease which will make these figures
lool: small.
What is done in this work in
South Carolina will doubtless attract
wide attention throughout the South,
as did the rise of this State in i'm
portance as corn growing section,
and the growth of the live stock in
dustry here will be sure to have great
effects for good in all other southern
States.

" per cent of them always take

a consensus of opinion that alcoholic
drinks are an impediment to climb

sudden sickness.

WHY Do MEN DRINK? A FEW kNsWE:s S

A Cincinnati daily recently pro-
pounded the question to representa-
tive men OF. the city-an educator,
saloon-keeper, Y. NJ. c. A. man.
doctor, a minister. and a business
man. At least two Of the answers to
the question are OF special interest,
one of them coming from member
of the Board of Education, and the
other from a saloon-keeper. The
first says:
Why does a man drink? Why,
he drinks and does everything else
that is wrong because he is still I'M

amount of original sin in his make
up, and the tendency to drink is one
of the expressions of it. | under
stand that Dr.. Parkhurst, in New
York, has said that the chief cause
of drinking among working men is
the monotony and deadly dulness of
their lives. All I can say in reply
is that in this twentieth century that
Is not a good excuse. If the evils OF
working men are dull, it must be
their own fault, because in this day
and generation, there are hundreds
of diversions, open TO all, and if the
working man wishes 10 take advan-
tage of them he is free to do so. The
cure for drunkenness and all other
forms of sin is an educated concep-
ZION Of the objects Of life, along
BROAD religious lines.
The saloon-keepeT. VINO neither
drinks himself nor allows his en-
ployees to drink, says:

looks sometimes as if they did it
Just to be doing something. l doubt
if the monotony OF life is the main
cause, or whether sorrow and domes-
tic friction have much to do with
drinking, because I find that men
drink when they are sad and glad,
and also when they are either. The
practice of drinking has number Of
interesting phases. but l doubt if
any general rule can be laid down
for it.
1t seems to the present writer that
both these men speak the truth. First
of all, it is to be said that compare

She Knew How.

A Christian worker who was much
interested in helping discharged pris-
oners went down to the jail to meet
a man who was to come out on a
certain morning, but found nine Of
his old companions, who were there
70 lead him off into drink again.
The sister went down and found
the nine men there, so she went to
the governor of the prison. The gov
ernor said:
What do you want?"
She said: 81 have come to meet
So-and-SO."
The governor said. You know
there are nine men outside there
waiting for him."
The sister said to the governor:
'Those that are with me are more
than those that are against me-"
The governor said: Look here;
you go away for an hour and come
back, and I will try and tire these
men out"
The sister did this and presently
came back, and the men accosted her
and said:
Here, sister, we have given up
our work to meet this man."
She said: You declare he shall
go home drunk, but I declare he
shall go home sober"
The thought then came to her,
''Why not try to save these nine men
Waiting?" So She said: Men, if
try to get him out will you all come
and have breakfast with me?'
They looked at one another, and
breakfast to nine men who had been
sleeping as if they had a glue-brush
between their teeth was wonderful
They said:
Eyes, we will come"
She got the prisoner out. When
they had breakfast she said:
"Men, now can l read to you?'

that wonderful story of the Prodigal
Son, and they listened with bowed
heads. Then she said:

SOIlNCIIlCTs
For reasons which are manifest and
scarcely need explanation, those who
for holding reunion of the survivors

date at later period of the year than
at first suggested, which was upon the
anniversary of the assembling of the
historic organization The fact is ex-
planned, however, in the following let
ter, which was sent out today by Hon.
Robert e. Wilson, secretary of the
body, and whose interest and activity
is so thoroughly enlisted in the cause:

Sh2zII 8 Cross Bones.

The Russian Duma. primitive,
struggling effort to bring constitu-
tional government out of chaos and
autocracy, appointed commission
on the drink question.
The sale of alcohol in its stronger
forms is a government function in
Russia. White. VINO came here to
represent Russia in the Peace Con-
ference, was the father Of Russian
Government ownership of the vodka
trade.
The Russian Government sells the
vodka-which comes near to being
pure alcoholic Russian subjects,
and the amount Of profit from this
sale of alcohol is about enough to
pay the expenses of the Russian
army.
On every bottle Of this vodka there
IS now printed the imperial eagle Of
Russia.
The Drink Commission of the
Cuma, with interesting originality
and intelligence, offers as its first
suggestion this:
Take the imperial eagle off the
bottles of strong alcoholic drink and
substitute a skull and crossbones,
mark the bottle poison and print
warnings against Cverindulgence.
There are a good many bottles and
good many pa ka -es'' N this coun-
try that would be inpToTe1, from

we're labelled with skull and cross
bones and the word poison" and q

1cvoke Near Beer License.

The city council of Vicksburg, after
due consideration of the last decision
of the Mississippi supreme court, as
explained by City Attorney George
Anderson, voted to repeal the city or
dinance allowing the sale Of near
beer and authorized the city license
collector to refund the sum Of 81
G37.50 to twenty near beer" dealers
who had been operating saloons under
the city ordinance. City Attorney An
derson said that the last decision Of
the state supreme court made it plain
that no drink with malt in it can be
sold, and that if any license is allowed
persons who operate drinking estab-
lishments such licenses must be made
out in accordance with the provisions
Of the state laws.

Women More Honest Than Men.

Statistics compiled by American
CARDS honesty women are superior tc
men. Women in America are en-
ployed in business as extensively as
men, and yet the record shows that
almost every embezzler and defaulter
was a man. There are more women
cashiers than men. The universal
stores and shops of almost every
kind employ women to handle their
receipts and to give change; yet there
were a hundred cases of men cashiers
stealing to one case where woman
asher took her employers money.
