HOW TO BETTER THE COURTS.

Continuing the discussion Of the
betterment of the courts in South Car
olina, we would urge that the gen.
eral assembly at it's next session
ought to pass law disqualifying any
member of the house or senate from
election to judgeship or any similar
Office We note the candidacy of at
least one man in South Carolina who
is running for the legislature today in
the hope and belief, in our opinion,
that in case a vacancy on the bench
shall occur in the judicial circuit of
which his county forms a part, he
may be elected to fill it. He is a very
good man and will doubtless make a
very good legislator, but we do not
believe that he would be a candidate
for the house of representatives to-
day except with some such motive
as that we have indicated, and we do
not believe that man should be sent
to the legislature whose candidacy is
based upon any such ulterior purpose.
It is we'll known that it is practically
impossible for any man not men,
Der of the general assembly to be
elected over member of that body
to any Office in the gift of the general
assembly. We shall not go to the
! length Of saying that the judiciary in
| this State has suffered materially be-
cause of this fact. We are even pre-
pared to admit that in some such
cases the legislator was the better
man. Nevertheless, it may safely be
asserted that the present condition is
not a healthy one. The quickest way
| to remedy it is by the passage Of
law such as that which We have in
dicated. Of course, it will be hard
matter to get legislators who are "in'
thus to disqualify themselves. There
fore, their views along this line ought
to be sounded in advance.-The News
and Courier.
The matter of electing its own men,
bers to positions within the gift Of the
legislature has been so abused that it
had reached the point that it was al
most useless for any outsider to apply
for any position that was in the gift
of that body, and there has rightly
been considerable discussion Of such
a law as the News and Courier sug-
gests. The legislature has elected its
own members to positions and then
permitted them to hold their seats in
the legislature in the face of the con-
stitltion which declares the seats Of
members OF the legislature vacant
who exercise the duties Of any other
position.
We DO not know OF any candidate
who IS running Tor the Legislature
with the specific purpose OF securing
some other position, but i there be
any who want other positions within
! the gift OF the legislature. unless SEN

Rape was the first introduced into
this country from England, where 1t
has been grown for hundreds OF
wears. On rich land it is one Of our
best soiiing crops for hogs and sheep.
I. belongs to the cabbage family and
the leaves resemble those of the
mustard family. There are several
varieties, but the best variety is the
Dwarf Essex rape, which is blen-
NAL. There are number of Varle-
ties, but these are of little value. II
Dwarf Essex rape is planted any
time during the summer or fall it will
afford pasturage all during the Win
ter and will mature its seed the fol-
lowing June. When grown on rich
land two or three cuttings can be
obtained. However, the best way to
handle rape is to plant it for pastur-
ing purposes. Hogs eat it greedily
and they can be turned on it at will
and there will be no danger of their
eating too much. However, if sheep
or calves are pastured, care should
be taken to feed them some hay first
as there will be some danger of bloat.
The South Carolina experiment sta
ton has obtained as much as 25 tons
of forage from this plant. Rape re-
quires a rich soil and while it will
grow on almost any type of soil, it is
highly necessary that the soil is made
rich by heavy applications Of well
decomposed stable manure and large
applications of commercial fertilizers.
Any land that is we'll suited to cab
bage will grow rape proftab1y. The
seed should be sown at the rate Of 3
to pounds per acre and care should
| be taken that the seed are not sown
| too deep. From one to two inches is
the proper depth. In South Carolina
the best time to SOW rape seed is in
October, however, they can be sown
any time during the spring. In two
months after sowing the seed, the
rape will be ready for pasturing.
Rape is a splendid crop to SOW af-
ter a winter legume as bur clover,
crimson clover or vetch. The seed
should be sown at intervals Of two
to three weeks, thus giving a con-
tinuous pasturage all during the sum-
mer and fall months. If planted for
seed, it should be planted in Septem-
her in rows "a inches apart, and the
rape should be cultivated during the
late summer to keep down crab grass
and other grass and weeds, and it
should not be pastured. An enor-
NOUS amount Of seed can be obtained
on one acre of improved soil.
The greatest enemy we have in
South Carolina is the plant louise. At
this writing the S. G. experiment sta
tion has a beautiful patch of rape
gone to seed, but the plants are illed
with thousands of plant lice that will
cut down the yield considerably.
Rape has never been fed with sue
cess to dairy cattle as it taints the
flavor of the milk and butter. 1t is,
however, one of our best hog crops
as it is very rich in protein, in fact
almost as rich as clover hay. It.,
however, can not be depended upon
to furnish the entire feed of the hog
because it makes a soft, oily fat.
Hogs grazing on rape should, there
fore, be fed some grain which makes
firm meat.
Every farmer has about his feed
lot a small patch that is rich enough
to plant rape on and every farmer
should have a small patch of rape
for his young pigs and hogs.

STILL ANOTHER THEATRE
Is PLANNED FOR ATLANTA
Theatrical Trust May Erect Handsome
Playhouse There.

Atlanta, Ca, May ia centrally
located lot at the corner of Ivy and
Houston streets was purchased a day
or two ago at the record price of $685.
900 by a real estate agent who is be-
lieved to be acting on the authority
of Klaw & ErlangaT, of the so-called
theatrical trust" The seller of the
property was Mrs. ]. e. Evins.
Both from its size and location IT
is believed that it Is the intent of the
new purchasers to erect a new thea
ire building on the site.
1t is a well known fact previously
published that the Klaw & Erlanger
people do not propose to be shut out
of the Southern territory and that they
will erect theatres in nearly all towns
where the managers have declared the
open door" policy.
Whatever may be the outcome of the
war, it cannot fail to work for the
general advantage Of the theatre-loy-
ers throughout the South. 1t means
that residents of Southern cities will,
in future, be enabled to witness pro-
auctions both of the so-called combine
and of the Independents.

IN FORCE TO
MEETING IN BRUNSWICK
Americas to Send DeIeQa-
ton There.

Americas Pyttfans will go in force
today to Brunswick to attend the an
nual conclaye of the Grand Lodge OF
Georgia, Knights of Pythias, which
assemblies there tomorrow for a SEES
sion Of three days, and where royal
entertainment and hospitality await
the visitors.
Col. H. B. Simmons, past grand
chancellor of Cooper Lodge of Ameri-
Gus is the duly appointed representa-
tive for this lodge, though many 9TH
ers will accompany him
Americas Pythians desired to enter
tain the State Lodge next year, but
got into the game too late this time
with any hope of success. They hope,
however, to get the state convention
of 1912.
Reports are being received daily
from the lodges throughout the state
and it is expected that this conveG@
ton will be one of the largest ever
held in the state. Every lodge win
be represented at the convention and
quite number Of knights will car
ry members of their families.
Besides the 200 lodges in the stats,
each of which will Have one or more
representatives, there are eleven com
panies of uniform rank and it is prob
able that majority of these VIII be
on hand with an average of twenty
five men. The prize drill will be held
Thursday.
Another feature of the convention
which is attracting great attentiona
locally as well as throughout the
state, is the ceremonial and parade of
the Dramatic Order Knights of Khor-
assam on Wednesday. The work will
be put on by Temple No. 129, of Sa-
vannah.
The Americas Pythians anticipate
the meeting with great interest.

TO SHIP OLD FIXTURES
TO OFFICE IN DECATUR
Americas Plant Removed to That
Town.

The old postofice which FOR TWEEN
ty years has served Uncle Sam as
headquarters in Americas, was dis
mantled yesterday, stripped of it's
equipment, and in future will be de-
voted to commercial purposes otner
than that for which it has been used
so long a time.
THE greater part of the furniture
and fixtures, including the hundreds
of metal letter boxes, has been sold
in Decatur, Ca, and will be shipped
to that town.
Workmen were busy yesterday tear
ing away the old office.
The handsome three-story marble
front building and all the postoffice
fixtures belonged to the Harold es-
tate and were only leased by the post
Office department at Washington. All
of the equipment, as stated, goes to
the Decatur postoffice.
The removal recently to the hand
some postofice building just complet-
ed and owned by Uncle Sam, marks
another shift in the headquarters in
this city.
An interesting story might be writ
ten regarding the dozen locations of
the Americas postoffice in recent de-
cades; from the little one-room wood
en- building near the Bank of South
Western Georgia to it's present SPLEEN
did home recently completed at cost
of $4,000.
These changes-from the little wood
building. 15x20 feet-the little room
upstairs in the Anglin hotel-the shift
to the old warehouse across the
street-all this would make an in
teresting story and mark the growth
of Americas, commercially, from a
village to city.
But Uncle Sam is settled now in his
own handsome habitat, settled down
for a quarter of century, at least.

AMERICUS A WINNER IN
SPITE OF THE COMET
Laid 1t on Hard to the
Fifty Bunch.

Yesterday afternoon a good sized
crowd of enthusiastic fans turned out
to witness the contest between the To-
Gals and the outfit representing FitZ-i
gerald-and they all returned some
what disappointed lot. 1t toeK just
eight and half innings for the
Champs to pile up total of nine
runs, and graciously present the Wis
itors with the BOBBY prize of the
eyen,ng--six tallies.
ALG all in the ninth, when Ansley
loosened up and gave the lads from
the lowlands some chance for their
lives.
Fitzgerald was entirely outclassed
from the first, and Stout, who did the
twirling for them, proved one of the
easiest propositions yet encountered
by the home outfit. In fact, Mr.. Stout
was about the weakest player exhibited
by the visitors, although several 9th
ers of the aggregation appear to be
strong candidates for the back-lot
league next season.
In the first inning the locals cross
ed the plate twice, and thereafter it
was easy sailing, Americas gathering
four runs in THE fourth, and in the
sixth three more were posted to their
credit. The visitors failed to score
at all until their half of the ninth,
and then it was pSlpably evident that
Ansley was acting generous when he
allowed six tallies to be garnered By
them.
The game throughout was rather
uninteresting from THE first, it being
evident that Fitzgerald was utterly
outclassed, mainly due to the fact that
Stout failed to make good on the
slabman's job. Today's game, how
ever, promises to be more interesting,
and it is expected that large crowd
will be present to witness the per-
Torrance.

water, instead of in mouldy corn, as

mate in corn. He will print a state
