SAYS SCOU1CRAfT
MAKES EDUCATION
nited State, senator Page. beile''
ing in Boy Scout Principles. has
introduced Bill in Congress
Providing fer Federal Aid.

I.nited States Senator Carroll 5.
Page believes that the Boy Scout
movement is Leading in a line OF edu-
cational work and character-building
that eventually will be approved by
Congress through legislation. Be
fore becoming interested in the Boy
Scout Movement he made a study OF
the methods Of educating boys ana
girls in different countries and now
has introduced bill in Congress TO
provide government with the States
in encouraging instruction in agrlcll-
ture. trades. industries and home eco
Monies il secondary schools state
normal schools, colleges and univer-
sites. Such bill would call for an
appropriation OF millions of dollars.
The leaders Of the Boy Scouts Of
America and Senator Page will doubt
less Cooperate in working for this
bill because they feel that the Boy
Scout principles are along the lines
of the measure.
Speaking Of MS measure and the
Boy Scout principles Senator Page
says: i an especially interested in
the better education of the boys and
girls of our land and my bill is il
such entire harmony with the work
that you are trying to do. that have
though it best TO send it to you. Ny
theory is that after boy has come
to the age when ae must become in
part bread-Winner for the family
that he ought TO be examined care
fully by expert methods and the line
of work ascertained for which each
particular boy is adapted.
Il have no doubt that a boy scout is
better equipped man by far when
he reaches the age of IS or q than
boy who has not had the benefit of
scoutcraft instruction.
my idea is that the general gov

the states in such a way as to lead up
to fairly decent education in agci-
culture for the boy who decides to be
farmer, and in trades and in indus
tries for the boys who design to be
merchants Or mechanics, and it
should fit the girl with practical
education On home economics SO that
she becomes better wife, better
mother and better housekeeper.
How much Of the boy scout line
of education could be introduced into
the educational work which my bill
provides for, may be matter of
doubt, but that they are in harmony
and work along kindred lines togeth-
er, cannot, it seems to me, be quest
Toned, and it occurs to me that scout
craft work could be very materially
benefited by the splendid equipment
which scoutcraft would give

FINE SHOWING FOR MISSIONS.


Greenwood, Dec. 1.-THE features
OF Yesterdays sessions Of tho State
Baptist Convention were the fine
showing Of the State mission board
and the great rally meeting in the
interest Of foreign missions last
night, at which DR.. r. j. Willingham
spoke with great feeling and effect.
Half dozen young men and women
signified, by rising, their willingness
to go to the foreign fields. Three
young students of Furman, Messrs.
Watson, Moore and Green, who are
to go out as missionaries, were in
troduced to the convention. Three
returned missionaries, Messrs. Nor
gan, Dan Ford and Snuggs, spoke
with great feeling. Three children
Of Mr. Snuggs sang Chinese songs
and recited. DR.. Willingham then
closed with powerful appeal for aid
and workers.
In the morning the State Board re-
ported that it was out Of debt, for
the first time in ten years. Forty
thousand dollars had been raised,
leaving surplus Of 200.
A resolution looking to the NOV
ing Of the headquarters Of the State
board from Greenvilie to Columbia,
was adopted, and DR.. H. L. Jones, of
Charleston, was appointed chairman
OF a committee to report on this in
1912.
Furman University, Anderson Fe-
male College and Greenville Female
College made fine reports also. The
educational commission made it's
report last night. 1t was adopted,
and the commission continued.

SENATOR BEN CALLS ON TAFT.
Seeks Aid In the Search for Lieut..
Gtbbes Lykes.
(Cor. News and Courier.)

(Cor. News and Courier.)
Washington, Dec. 6.-Senator B.
r. Tillman to-day called on President
Taft to ask aid of the government in
searching for Second Lieutenant
Gibbes Lykes, Of the Ninth Cavalry,
U. S. A. Lieut.. Lykes, who Is from
Richland county, South Carolina, has
been missing since the last week in
August, when he obtained leave Of
| absence from Fort S. D. A. Russell,
In Kansas. He was last heard from
In ST. Paul, Minn., although he told
the army authorities that he was
going to see his parents In South
Carolina.
Lieut.. Lykes was appointed to
West Point by Senator Tillman and
had an excellent record during his
four years OF service in the army up
to the time Of his disappearance.
The President dictated letter to
the Secretary Of War in regard to
the effort to aid in the search. Be-
cause Of restrictions placed by Con-
gress on the use Of the secret service
In Mr.. Roosevelt's day, this arm can
not be employed in looking for
Lieut.. Lykes. Senator Tillman Is
specially concerned on account Of the
grief Of the missing officers parents,
who fear that their son has commit
ted suicide.
Surgeon Rupert Blue.
The South Carolina Senator also
spoke to the President in support of
the suggestion that Surgeon Rupert
Blue be appointed the successor of
the late Surgeon General Wyman as
the head Of public health and marine
hospital service. Mr.. Taft asked if
DR.. Blue was a South Carolinian, and
when answered in the Affirmative,
jocularly remarked that this fact
would not be held against the doctor.
Turns Joke OH Taft.
Mr.. Taft greeted Senator Tillman
affectionately and undertook to twit
him upon the alleged differences in
the Democratic party, but the Sena-
referring to the demoralized condi-
tion Of Mr.. Taft's own organization.
Hack Fare Too High.
An incident Of the Senator's visit
to the White House was his refusal
to pay what he considered exorbi-
tant hack fare.
AS he got out of his cab he handed
the driver a quarter.
FIFTY cents, sir" said the man.
"Not bit Of it," replied the Sena-
tor. take this quarter. It's enough
| and too much"
"But the rates have gone up" per-
sisted the cabby.
Wont pay it," declared Senator
Tillman, and walked into the EXecu-
tive Offices.

tanning 160 pounds Of phosphoric

Suppose that we used 400 pounds
Of cotton seed meal, 200 pounds Of

more convenient to use full sacks

tieths Of the number OF pounds Of
mixture that we intended using OF

Very likely the above mentioned
mixture would run slightly over

gin on each Of his raw materials,
whereas, in q mixed fertilizer one, or
even two OF the elements, may be be-

pull it over in relative commercial
value.
3. Any tight floor will do to do
the mixing on, but 1t is preferable to
have house or shed, for it will then
be possible to do the mixing on rainy
days, when very little else could be
done
TO briefly sum up, the advant-
ages Of home mixing are: The far
mer knows just what are the sources
OF the elements In his fertilizers and
thus avoids undesirable sources. He
may study his soils, crops and con-
ditions and supply in any proportion
those ingredients which are most
needed. He saves the transportation
and hauling homo Of the filler, the
middle mans profit, and two or three
or moro dollars per ton on the actual
mixing. For further information

LABOR WASHES IT'S HANDS.
Federation of Labor VIII Welcome
Rigid Investigation.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Branding
James B. and John J. Mcnamara as
"recreant to the good name and high
ideals Of labor" and expressing the
satisfaction Of organized labor that
the culprits have been commensu-
rately punished for their crime, the
Mcnamara ways and means commit
tee Of the American Federation of
Labor, after two days conference
here, late to-day issued a statement
vigorously condemning the McNa-
maras for their "inhumanity" and
declaring that organized labor should
not be hold "either legally or morally
responsible for the crimes Of an indi-
vidual member"
The labor leaders assert that they
will welcome any Investigation
which either Federal or State Courts
may undertake."
The statement Is signed by every
member Of the Mcnamara committee
except +. M. Ryan, president OF the
International Bridge and, Structural
Iron Workers Union, with which
John j. Mcnamara, one Of the con-
vtcted men, was prominently connect
ed officially.
Mr.. Ryan was present yesterday,
but returned to indianapolis early to-
day.
Had he remained, however" said
President Gompers positively, 81 am
sure that Mr.. Ryan would have added
his name" AS to their knowledge of
the crime to which the McNamaras
confessed, the committee, in their
statement, assert:
1--WE here and now, individually
and collectively, declare that the first
knowledge or intimation Of their
guilt was conveyed by the press in
their confessions of guilt.

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS.
Regarding Mixing, Materials and CAL
culatiOns-Place for Mixing.

Inc time 1S almost at hand for the
farmer to procure his fertilizers for
the next crop. The question now
confronting him Is, how can he ge.
the maximum amount of most avail.
able plant food at the minimum
price-whether it Is most profitable
to buy his fertilizers already mixed
or to buy his raw materials and mix
them on the farm?
The necessary qualifications for
mixing are CD the selection Of the
materials to be mixed: (2) knowl-
edge Of the calculations involved. and
60 a suitable place to do the mix
ing.
]. The materials to DO used do
pond In q measure upon the charac-
ter OF the soil, the kind of crops
grown, and the current prices OF the
different fertilizing materials. While
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash
all go to make up the plant, yet there
is a tendency for large applications
OF phosphoric acid to hasten the ma
turity OF tho crop and to aid in de-
veloping the seed. Potash length
ems the growing season and st,ffers
the stalk, while nitrogenous fertiliz-
ers give rapid and luXuriant growth.
Nitrogen, the most expensive ee-
ment, when bought, can be supplied
to great extent by means OF such
leguminous crops as the COW pea, soy
bean, peanuts, velvet beans, ETC., and
good system of rotation would save
much Of the expense OF buying this
high priced element. In buying nj
trogen, we would advise the use OF
materials of known worth, among
which may be named nitrate Of soda,
sulphato Of ammonia, dried blood,
fish, high grade tankage and cotton
seed meal. The main commercial
sources of potash are kainit, muriate
and sulphate Of potash. For cotton
and corn we would advise the use Of
muriate or kainit because the sui
phate is little higher in price, but
1T is necessary to use sulphate of pot
ash on tobacco, and preferable to use
sulphate Of potash or kainit on sweet
potatoes. Phosp oric acid Is usually
obtained from IA or 16 per cent
"super phosphate." 1t Is always
preferable when the price per pound
OF plant food Is the same, to buy the
higher grade because it is in more
concentrated form and the hauling
Is less.
2. We now come to the subject Of
calculations. A unit Is 1 per cent of
ton or 20 pounds. If we wish an
S-3-3 gunno, we must have in a ton
s units Of phosphoric acid, 3 units of
ammonia or its equivalent in nitro
gen, and 3 units of potash. Convert
ed to pounds we have 160 pounds of
phosphoric acid, GO pounds of ammo
MA, and 60 pounds Of potash. SUP
pose, in mixing our fertilizer. we
wish one-half of our ammonia de-
rived from nitrogen Of cotton seed
meal guaranteed l R-7-1 and the
other half from nitrogen of nitrate
OF soda equivalent to is Der cent
ammonia, the potash (K2O) from
murlate 80 per cent K2O, and the
phosphoric acid from 16 nor cent
acid phosphate.

OUR LETTER FROM WINTHROP.
Some Interesting Facts Concerning
Workings of "Practice Home."

Winthrop College, Dec. 8.-Editor
Keowee Courier: The recital given
recently by A. 0. Baur. the director
Of music, was greatly enjoyed.
DR.. G. A. Burris, Of the Virginia
State Normal, was here recently in
specting and looking over the de-
partments and buildings.
Dr. D. B. Johnson attended the
Southern Educational Association in
Houston, Texas. He addressed the
association on the subject, "The Ed
ucation Of the Southern Girl"
The Thanksgiving holiday was
much enjoyed. In addition to the
splendid dinner served. many girls
received boxes from home. Quite a
number Of old Winthrop girls spent
the weekend at Winthrop.
The Practice Home at Winthrop
College, opened in the fall Of 1909,
stands for better homes, more at
tractivo homo life, and intelligent
home-making, and is Joy Of Win
throp. 1t Is designed primarily to
help girls to overcome the dificul-
ties OF housekeeping. and indirectly
to aid in lessening the difficulties in
all homes Of our State, especially
country homes, no device being used
that Is not available in the country
home. Only tho Seniors have work
in tho home. They organize their
own little "house parties" and so,
in groups Of eight, they live in the
home for eight days. BY a system
OF rotation each girl has an oppor-
tunity to do with instruction and
supervision Of all work OF an ordi-
nary home. 1t is so systematic and
ordered that no one finds 1T a hard
ship to carry on the usual school
duties. The Practice Homo we'll H.
lustrates what may be accomplished
Dy reducing the work Of the home to
system and order In addition to in
door work there Is opportunity for
work in the vegetable garden, in the
poultry yard, with flowers and with
bees. Until recently the only lights
used were kerosene lamps. Since
thls Is the method Of lighting used
IN the country home It Is essential
that every girl know how to care for
lamps and get the best results. The
Practice Home, however, should be
IN advance Of the average country
nome, showing what is best, and
holding out something to work to-
ward. Consequently tho hollow wire
system of lighting with gas has been
lntroduced--a system available in
any country home.
Learning to do things well, rcduc
ing the work OF the nome to system
and order, and making proper use of
valuable time by labor-savine do
vices, will do much to revolutionizn
the country home.

TENNEssEE MOB BURNS THREE.
Blacks Bound to Wagon, Which Was
Then Set On Fire.

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 6.-Two ne
groes and one young negress were
burned to death by mob Of white
land tenants, who object to tho occu-
pancy Of land by cOlored people, near
Savannah, Tenn, yesterday, accord
ing to mcager reports received here
to-day. The lynching is said to have
occurred ten miles from Clifton, in
the vicinity Of Bob's Landing.
The three negroes were travelling
to a gin with load Of seed cotton.
They were waylaid, held up and tied
to the wagon load Of cotton, it Is
said, and the mob, after building
fire beneath the wagon stood guard
until the wagon was consumed.
The negroes team consisted Of two
mules. One animal was permitted to
burn to death, according to the re-
ports received at Savannah, while the
other was shot to end It's misery.

JOS. Nj. BROWN WINS AGAIN.
Carried 81 Counties, Pope Brown 40
and Russell 20.

(Atlanta Constitution, Dec. 9th.)
Joseph NJ. Brown was chosen Gov
ernor of Georgia by sweeping ma
jority in Thursdays primary
He carried more counties than both
his opponents combined, and will get
more county unit votes than both
combined.
Out Of LAG counties in Georgia,
Joe Brown carried 81. Pope Brown
40 and Russell 20. Macon and CharI-
ton counties are still in debut.
Out Of 3GS county unit votes, Joe
Brown gets 200, Pope Brown 10 and
Russell Sd.
The result was received quietly in
Atlanta By o'clock, when the re-
suit became apparent, the crowds be-
gan to fade off the streets, and to
disperse from the vicinity Of the
stereopticon bulletin screens.
The election passed practically
without demonstration of any kind in
Atlanta. There were no brass bands,
no shouting crowds parading the
streets, indeed few single celebra-
tors in evidence. BY 10 o'clock, or
very soon thereafter, most Atlantans
were home in bed, or pursuing the
usual tenor Of their ways without
paying the slightest further attention
TO the election news.
The size OF Joe Browns majority,
and the almost complete collapse of
the Russell claims were the two big
surprises of the election.
