AVANT GIVES BOND
AND is RELEASED
Been Confined I'm Prison
Three Months.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE
Man Convicted With DIR. Bigham for
d Killing Latter's Wife In
Georgetown County.

w. B. Ayant was released from the
penitentiary this morning, having
been confined there for three months,
pending settlement Of questions relat-
Ing to his appeal to the supreme court.
Avant together with G. G. Bigham,
was convicted in Georgetown of man
slaughter, for the killing of Mrs. Big
ham last summer at Murrell's Inlet.
The case was appealed but there was
some question as to whether the ap-
peal had been perfected and the court
ordered that both Bigham and Avant
should be imprisoned. Avant gave him
self up and has since been confined in
the penitentiary, but Bigham has new
er been found. On a writ of habeas
corpus Avant obtained bail from the
passed and he has not until today
been able to give bond. He was re-
leased today by Superintendent Grif-
fifth on bond for $4,000. signed by
Lewis A. Parsons and d. w. Avant.
The trial of Avant and Bigham took
place in October, 1909, and Avant re-
ceiyed sentence of three years and
ak months. He has already served
about three months, for which he will
probably be given credit if the verdict
Of the trial court is sustained.-Colum-
ba Record, Feb. 25.

an ample yard about with all tho old

hedges along the approaches, and

why Our Crops Cost Us Too Much

One man may, under similar condi-
tions, the same season and In the same
section, produce crop for one-half
or even one-fourth what 1t costs an
other. In other words, in crop pro-
duction, the single factor of manage
ment--the man-very frequently 80
reduces the cost as to yield liberal
loss.
The cost of producing most of our
crops Is too high, but the problem of
reducing the cost Of their production
does not receive the attention it
merits. AS a general rule it does not
cost too much to produce our crops
because we live extravagantly, nor
because we pay too high prices for
labor. 1t Is not because we have too
much money invested in equipment
nor because OF extravaganza in the
quality or amount OF the tillage Civ
en- the crops; but because we have
neglected to give due consideration
to the two most important factors in
determining the cost OF crop produc-
ton, the effectiveness OF the human
worker and the fertility OF the soil.
The Southern farmer is generally
economical; but his economies are in
small things, while he is extravagant
of human labor and neglectful of
that most important of all factors in
crop growing, the productive capac-
ity OF the land.-Raleigh IN. CO Pro-
gressive Farmer and Gazette.

Maine from her republican mourings
The republicans have reason to be-
lieve the unrest is not so strong in
Michigan.
Mr.. Osborn has declared he will
clean out the obnoxious machine at
Lansing and Mr.. Osborn is known to
be as good as his word. But, on the
other hand, there are large numbers
who claim that it is only by installing
new party in power that the house
cleaning can be assured.
Mr.. Hemans undoubtedly threw
away strong support when he voiced
his personal convictions against the
tonnage tax rather than taking the
demanded Grange legislation as a
principal plank in his platform. BY
throwing this club away he placed
himself on the exact platform upon
which Mr.. Osborn made his primary
run
Mr.. Hemans, therefore, has left only
general charge of extravaganza in
the Republican administration which
he backs by specific instances and in
which he quotes the increased ex-
penditures in the offices Of game ward
en- and railroad commissioner under
Osborn's administration of those of
ices. Added to this he has the cry of
republican dishonesty in Office as
shown by the Imprisonment Of Glazier
and Armstrong and the recent ex-
posures of the administration of A.
G. Bird as dairy and food commissioner.
These afford him good talking points
and add to the general dissatisfaction
with the republican regime.
But Mr.. Osborn lis known and recog-
nized as a man of more than ordinary
calibre, one of determination and we'll
known integrity. The republicans de-
clare he will bring about the same re-
suit Ii elected governor as would Mr..
Hemans and the republicans ask the
right to wash their own dirty linen.
Mr.. Osborn's strength will be first
in the upper peninsula which he will
sweep with tremendous majority.
He will be strong. too In the Saginaw
valley, in Detroit and the northern
tiers of counties Two years ago Mr..
Hemans went to the straits of
Mackinaw with $4,000 plurality. The
republicans feel certain that barring
tho undercurrent OF unrest which none
can guage, Hemans viii NOT have near
that strength below the straights. The
democrats believe that the light vote
in the primaries il an indication of
unrest and the determination of the
stay-at home republicans to vote the
democratic ticket. If they are right
in their assertion, Mr. Hemans'
chances are exceedingly bright.
