We think Gov. Blease's message as
to the winding-up commission had been
better not said. There are some things
in it, at least, that had been better left
out We do not believe in casting as
PERSONS or in making charges by in
sinuation, unless there is evidence to
sustain the charges, ard if there is,
then there is no need to insinuate
The governor may have the evidence,
We do not know.
There are great many things done
by the commission that we do not ap-
prove, and there are great many peo-
pie in South Carolina who are strong
ly opposed to the dispensary, and for
that matter to the sale Of liquor in
any form, who agree with US.
But it seems to US the sooner the
State of South Carolina can be rid of
the, whole business the better it will
be for the happiness and the peace and
the prosperity of our people.
An investigation by legislative
committee during the session viii he
farcical and to continue it through
another year will accomplish nothing.

BODY RIDDLED AND BURNED.
Story Of Lynching of Negro Who Kill
ed Brakeman.

Augusta, Ca, Jan. 23::-What ap-
pears to be definite information that
William Johnson, a negro, charged
with the murder of Brakeman Hum
phreys, white, at Avera, Ca, was
lynched early Sunday morning, his
body riddled with bullets and later
burned, was contained in special
dispatch from that town to the Chroni-
Gle tonight.
According to the statement received
here, after shooting Humphreys when
he left the train to go to his home
Johnson made an effort to escape. So
hotly/ WAS he pursued that he gave
himself up to the authorities and was
placed in jail. Hardly had an hour
passed. when mob, numbering about
fifty men, appeared at the jail, over
powered the guard and forcibly took
the negro several miles out of town,
stringing him up to tree. The body
was then riddIed with bullets.
A fire of brush was then kindled,
and when the flames had reached su1tl-
cient intensity, it is said THE negro's
body was hurled into them and almost
totally consumed.

There is no question that Gov.
Blease is right as to certain members
of the legislature violating the consti-
tuition in holding their seats while dis
charging the duties of trustees of va

stoned is that they hold if they are not
commissioned they are not technically

its importance than its effect upon the
action of any number of legislatures
or any number of appropriations to
State institutions. As has been forci-
bly, urged, it is not question as to
whether a man makes a good trustee
or a, good member of the general as
sembly. 1t is a. question of obeying
the fundamental law of the State. 1t
is q, question of example in obedience
to law. How can the people be ex-
pected to respect the law when those
who are commissioned by them to
frame their laws are daily defying the
highest law of the State?
The News and Courier of yesterday
morning, in speaking of Governor
Blease's message, says: :.
Governor BleasIas message with re-
gard to the Clemson trusteeships RI
vets public attention for the time be-
ing on a matter which has been dis
cussed off and on for years, and which
has been made a burning issue in at
least one election campaign, that for
the. Newberry county senatorship two
years ago, when Mr.. Alan Johnstone
and Mr.. Elbert H. Aull were oppon-
ents, Mr.. Johnstone being elected. The
necessity of such legislative investi-
cation into the situation as Governor
Blease suggests is not apparent. There
has been no concealment, and the
question is legal one. We agree with
Governor Blease that it ought to be.
settled.
Zone of the recommendations made
by the commission appointed to revise
the school law was that the provision
of the constitution prohibiting the
holding of two positions Of honor and
trust be so changed as not to apply to
the .trusteeships of schools and col
leges, it being argued that its enforce
ment deprives the schools Of the SER
vices of many good men. That is
doubtless true, but there are two sides
to the question. There has always
been disposition to keep our school
system separate from the rest Of cur
governmental affairs, to keep it from
becoming the plaything of politics.
The wisdom Of this policy stands ap-
proved, and this being so, is it not SAT-
er to intrust the conduct of The affairs
relating to the schools to men who
have no other special obligations to
the public resting upon them?
eve certainly regard it as undesir-
able that a State college should have
special representatio in the halls OF
the legislature. 1t gives to that insti-
tuition a marked advantage over other
similar institutions lacking such spe-
cial representation. 1t is equivalent,
moreover, to nominating as keeper
of the public fsc one who has an in
dividual interest, however honest, in
the disposition to be made of its
funds
That Governor Blease has taken the
proper course in calling this matter
to the attention of the legislature is
shown by Section II Of Article 3 OF
the constitution, which provides that

DEFYING THE LAW.

DEFYING. THE LAW.
"He may make an excellent trustee,
but that is not the qeustion. 1t is
question of obeying the law. No man
should be above the law; no man hold
ing high Office should permit himself
to be regarded as an example of daily
defnance of the law"
Thus spoke the Columbia State in
it's editorial columns in its issue of
Monday morning, December %, 1908,
under the caption, Senator Tillman
and The law" the Columbia State urg-
ing that Senator TilIman was. violat-
ins; the constitution of South Carolina
in holding the office of United States
senator and the Office of member Of
the board of trustees of Clemson coll
lege, Senator Tillman being a life
trustee under the Clemson will. =.
On Saturday Governor Blease sent
to the South Carolina legislature a
message in which he urged that the
general assembly, the law-making
power of the State, should not permit
some of its own members to set the
example to the people of daily defiance
of law, by violating the fundamental
law of the Commonwealth in holding
the position of member of the legisla-
ture and the position of college trus-
tee of State institution.
The constitution is much stronger
in regard to members of the general
assembly holding other Offices than as
to- United States senators or othe
holding two Offices. The reason is
obvious, and the wisdom of the franz
ers Of the constitution is clearly ap-
parent. Take the position of college
trustee. for instance. 1t was clearly
the purpose of the constitution to pro-
hibit trustees of a State institution
from passing upon appropriations for
that institution. And so with all the
other ramifcations of the State gov
ernnent. Therefore, the constitution
has, in addition to the inhibition
against holding two offices, a strong
provision especially in regard to men,
bers of the general assembly holding
any other position of honor or profit.
The constitution says: f'No person shall
be el:gible to a seat in the general as
sembly while he holds any office or
position of profit or trust under this
State, the United States of America,
or any of them, or under any other
power, except officers in the militia
and notaries public; and if any men,
Der shall accept or exercise any of the
said disqualifying Offices or positions
he shall vacate his seat"

FREE FROM PARASITES
Louise ls Common Cause Of Thriftless-
ness In Young Pigs and Tends to
,Retard Their Growth.
(By A. s.

By A. s. ALExANDER.)
The hog louise is a common cause OF
thriftlessness In young pigs and when
numerous, tends to retard their
growth. 1t is advisable and most
profitable to keep swine free from lice
at all ages and stages Of their exist
ence and development so far as pos
sfble. To this end their houses, pens
and sleeping places should frequently
be cleaned and disinfected, the wood
work whitewashed, the bedding mate
rial kept fresh, clean and dry and the
yards free from accumulations of lit
ter and filth.
1t is impossible to keep hogs free
from lice without maintaining sani-
tary conditions in their quarters and
in attempting to rid them of these
pests the treatment must include not
only the hogs, but practically every
thing with which they come in con-
tact daily.
To disinfect recently purchased
hogs, that possibly may carry disease
germs or vermin into the herd, wash

ease Of the skin in hogs.
To destroy lice, a mixture Of equal
parts Of kerosene and machine oil, or
n part of turpentine and two parts
of machine oil, should be applied to
every part of the hog by means of a
rag or swab of cotton waste; or it
may be applied along the back, from
ears to tail, with a common machine

sides Of the hog. Repeat the appli-
cation in ten days. AS a remedy for
lice on black hogs crude petroleum

with an equal amount of warm water
and applied with a spray pump or

(By WILLIAM A. CURTISS)
When you see a sheep going down
on it's knees frequently you may be
pretty sure that it's hoofs are affected
and need prompt attention.
II the dirt floor of the sheep barn
cannot be kept perfectly dry a plank
floor with plenty of stray is neces-
sary.
A hundred feet of drain tile laid un-
der the floor of the sheep pen will
keep it perfectly dry all the time.
Whenever ticks are found the
sheep must be dipped at once. There
are a number of excellent dips on
the market which can be obtained in
every town.
II sheep become lacerated on wire
fence or other objects watch the
wounds carefully and il maggots ap-
pear wash the wounds with a weak
solution Of carbolic acid and water.
II the wounds are deep and difficult
to reach inject the solution with a
small glass syringe.
Remember that one treatment of
wounds or of any disease will never
cure. Look after the wounded or
sick animals every day until they
are entirely well.

Profitable Hoos,

ers with large clover acreage may find
1t profitable to grow large hogs, and
depend partially on pasturage, but l
doubt If such a course Is as profitable
as marketing them earlier. The man
who feeds but a few usually has some
milk and with middlings a slop can
be made for feeding pigs that II ju-
diciously fed will make rapid growth.

must not be given ice cold, never be-
ow 60 or 20 degrees in cold weather.

OXFORD SHEEP ARE PROLIFIC
Largest and Heaviest Of Down Breeds

Oxford sheep originated in England
in the early part of the nineteenth
century from a cross of Cotswold and
Hampshire Downs. They have been
known since 1857 as Oxfordshire or
Oxford Downs, and r now widely
distributed owe the United States
and Canada. They are the largest and
heaviest of the Down breeds.
When in good flesh the rams should
weigh $50 to 275 pounds, and the
ewes from 200 to 225 pounds. The
wool is rather coarser than any other
of the medium wool breeds and the
fleece is heavier, weighing from ten
to twelve pounds unwashed.

Rape and corn should be sown In

There should be a fender soil

TRAIN LOAD AFTER
TRAIN LOAD OF
SETTLERS
ARE GOING TO CENTRAL CANADA.

The question of reciprocal trade re-
lations between the United States and
Canada has provoked considerable
discussion and interest. Whatever
else the discussion may have done, it
has brought out the fact that on the
Canadian side of the line the agri-
cultural situation is one that forces
attention, and it has also brought forth
the fact which 1t is well to face, that
on the American side of the border,
there Is a vastly increasing popula-
ton to be fed with a somewhat de-
creasing proportion Of food products.
This article is intended to point out
to those who may wish to become OF
those who can raise wheat, oats, bar
ley, FAX, cattle and hogs at the least
cost that the opportunities In Central
Canada are what they are seeking.
During the past year the official fig
ures show that upwards Of 10000
Americans located In Canada, and the
greatest majority Of these have settled
on farms, and when the time comes,
which 1t will within a few years, they
will be ready to help serve their par
emit country with the food stuffs that
its increasing population will require.
The immigration for the spring has
now set in In great earnest, and train
load after train load Of a splendid
class Of settlers leave weekly from
Kansas City, Omaha, Chicago, De-
troit, st. Paul and other points. Most
Of these are destined through to points
in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al
berta. The reports that come from
the different farming districts there
are that the spring is opening up well,
and the prospects for q splendid crop
this year are very good. In some dis
tricts good homesteads r yet avail
able. The price of all farm lands has
naturally had an increase, but 1t Is
still away below its earning capacity.
The immigration branch Of the Domin-
ion Government has just published its

partment Of the Interior, Ottawa,

tisement may appear elsewhere in this

And Found a Change In Food Put
Him Right.

"A man does not count as wasted the

himself and to his health. And yet
his business would be worth little
without good health to care for it. A,
business man tells how he did him
self good by carefully thinking over
his physical condition, investigating to
find out what was needed, and then
changing to the right food.
For some years I had been bother
ed q great deal after meals. My food
seemed to lay like lead in my stomach,
producing heaviness and dullness and
sometimes positive pain. OF course
this rendered me more or less unfit
for business, and I made up my mind
that something would have to be done.
Reflection led me to the conclusion
that over-eating, filing the stomach
with indigestible food, was responsible
for many Of the Ills that human flesh
endures, and that I was Furnishing

was making me so dull, heavy and un-
