Crop Has To Say I'm It's Favor-The
Cheapest Source OF Protein and
the Greatest Soil Improyer.

Messrs. Editors: The United States

productive and far more profitable as
a forage crop and cost less TO raise
than either corn or cowpeas. II

feeding than corn did on the same
acreage, and made beef for one-third
the cost that corn did.

Peanuts for Various Purposes.
The short-term varieties, three 10
four months required for maturity,
may very profitably be planted IN
the tobacco fields at last working, or
first of June; they will enrich the
soil and make pig feed of the high
est quality. The fertile truck lands
along the Coast can be planted in
Spanish or Tennessee Red peanuts
after the truck is gathered and
yield a profitable crop every year
which is more than the truck does
A poor sand ridge that won't grow
weeds enough in a year TO cover 1t
self, will produce good paying crop
of peanuts. and If young turkeys are
allowed to run on them the owner s
Thanksgiving wallet will be fat.
Dark soil or light, tight clay or
coarse sand, will produce peanuts.
Small, running varieties, planted on
dark or heavy soils often produce
the most profitable crops. for the
demand for Smelling stock is grow
ing stronger every year, and good
soils bring the most peanuts, and
the greatest quantity of vines. Plant
peanuts for the milk cows to Craze
in September and October. and to
start the pigs growing for the win
ter killing. They can be planted In
the corn at the last working. or In
the oat fields after the oats have
been cut. and a few civilizations with
the harrow will make much feed for
pigs and hay for the stock. The
Spanish peanut is the best for stock
feeding because Ii grows TO maturi-
ty quicker and does not require
lime.

Peanuts, soy beans and cowpeas
will pay every mortgage in the South

accommodating than the cowpea and
thrives under wider range of soil
conditions, tight clays and acid
black lands being perhaps the least
adapted to its culture. Wherever
corn, cotton, or cowpeas thrive, pea
nuts can be grown, if there is five
months of frost-free weather. The
pine barrens of the South Atlantic
States will be supplying the world
with peanuts some day and growing
richer every year. The first step in
the preparation of the soil for pea

The best practice on small farms

NO DISPENSARY INDICTMENS.
Recalling of Richland Grand jury
Mystery" to Judge DcVOrc.

/ Columbia, June S.-No dispensary
/ indictments were handed out today
by Attorney General Lyon, as was ex-
pected. The grand jury was dismiss
ed by Judge DeVore, who called at
/ tention to the fact that there was
nothing for the grand jury to do, al
though it had been called to return
here today by a message from the
office of the Attorney General.
Speaking to the grand jury. Judge
, DeVore said: 81 called the grand
jury to return here today at the re-
quest of the Attorney General. What
he wanted you held for do not know
| l assumed. however. that he had some
thing of public interest that he wished
to put before you. All has gone up
in smoke now. The whole matter is
wound up in mystery to to me-
The grand jury was paid in full to-
day for the whole time that it has
been in attendance on the Court,
which includes the week during which
the grand jury was waiting at the At
torney Generals request.
a few weeks ago indictments
against Motion A. Goodman, who was
charged with conspiracy, were mol
pressed and at the time the grand
jury was asked to RETURN the follow
ing Tuesday. Returning at that time,
the grand jury found no indictments
waiting for it and was then called to
meet today "at the request of the At
torney Generals office"
When the grand jury met this morn
ing Solicitor Cobb announced that
there was nothing to hand out. Then
Judge DeVore made it very plain
that there was something unusual in
the way the grand jury had been held
in session for nearly a week.
Attorney General Lyon is not very
communicative about the matter. He
stated to the News and Courier cor
respondent that the matter would ap-
pear when indictments were handed
out. but until then he did not care
TO discuss the situation.

America, The Paradise of Criminals
James Cosgrove,
Chairman.

Crime Is not due wholly to ignor-
ance. sice 1889 itelligence has be-
come widely dffused throughout the
United States. but according to Su-
perintendent Masten. Of the New York
state reformatory. homicides in this
country have increased $50 per cent
Notwithstanding the multiplied facili-
ties of knowledge.
Education may operate 10 prevent
crime within certain limits. But so
Tong as penalties are not enforced and
criminals not convicted as statutes
are virtually dead letters, so long will
crime continue to propagate itself.
The same authority from whom we
have just quoted also throws light up
on the court records. showing that
for various reasons less than 10 per
cent. OF the men who commit mur-
der in this country are punished,
whereas in Germany. for example, the
convictions will aggregate 95 per
cent.
Barring Russia alone. he says that
homicides in the United States will
outnumber those OF any ten civilized
nations combined.
In the opinion OF superintendent
Masten there are fully $4,000 per-
sons In the United States who choose
and pursue criminal careers but who
are not touched by the law.
RE says further tina, while the nat
ional dett is S964.OOO. 900. the annual
cost Of crime Is s1.37S.OOO.O 900.
Not only FOR sociologists but for
officers o. the court whose duty it is
20 enforce the penal statutes. there Is
food for serious thought in this
strong exhibit. and IL the light of lib
erty is not to be ultimately extinguish-
ed I'm this land OF free institutions. it
Is time for the enforcement OF the
law 20 be demanded by an authori-
tative public sentiment.

European Sight Seeing.

The annual hegira of American
tourists to Europe has commenced
More than 1850 persons have en-
gagged passage on the transatlantic
steamers for the month Of June. This
record is unprecedented, but an ex-
planation is found In the abnormal
mania which has been created this
summer by the presentation of the
Passion Play" at Oberammergau.
For actual transportation alone these
June passages will pay 100000.
And since most Of the great ocean
liners fly European flags, the bulk Of
this money will go to foreign corpor-
ations.
Moreover. it Is estimated that while
In Europe these June passengers will
spend not less than $4,000, 900.
Quite an outgo for one month-but
less than one-third perhaps of the
entire summers business in foreign
travel.
w hSh VIC tdht llltO consideration
the fact that comparatively few Euro
peans come 70 this country for sight
seeing purposes. we are confronted
with the startling proportions of an
outgo for which we get no equivalent
return.
And If we will enumerate the rich
American heiresses who are annually
captured by foreign dukes, we will
find that the tribute which Europe
eNacts from us year after year Is still
further increased.
Americans will probably continue
to go abroad so long as the old an
cestral seats continue to beckon--so
long as cathedrals and castle and gall
leries Of art continue to attract.
Europeans are drawn to America
hy no such magnets.
But we hold the industrial balance
| OF power. We produce raw materials
which they must have-wheat and
cotton and corn. We manufacture
articles which they can not get along
| without. And perhaps in the course
of time we will begin to get back what
we have squandered on the other side
