LANGDON CHEVES.
Lawyer and Statesman-The"Her-
eules of the United States Bank.

euleS O1 tiS OhAtSu ot
A reader of The Record asks for a
sketch of the career of Langdon
Cheves, lately a subject of a dispute
between Governor Blease. and the
private secretary of Governor Brown
of Georgia. The International En-
cyclopedia gives the following sketch
of the distinguished South Carolin-
ian:
CHEvEs, LANGDoN. (1776-1850.
An American lawer and States
man, sometimes called the Hercules
of the United States Bank He
was born in Abbeville county, South
Carolina; was self-educated; was ad-
mitted to the Charleston bar in 1877
and rapidly rose to eminence as
lawyer. In 1908 he became Attor-
ney General of his State, and after
serving three terms in the South
Carolina Legislature; was elected to
Congress by the Young Republican
party in 1911. In Congress he was
closely associated with William
Lowndes. Henry Clay and John I
Calhoun. and formed with them the
celebrated War Mess" He served
as Speaker in 1914 and by his casting
vote defeated the Dallas bill for re-
chartering the United States Bank.
In 1914, refusing the treasury port
folio in Madison's cabinet recently
voted by Gallatin, he resumed the
practice of law in South Carolina
and from 1916 to 1919 was one of
the Associate Justices of the State.
In January, 1919, he was elected one
of the directors of the United States
Bank, and in the following March ne
was chosen to succeed Mr. Jones as
president of that institution. The
bank was then in deplorable con-
dition and insolvency seemed almost
inevitable; but Cheves set about re-
storing it's credit and by continuing
a previous policy of curtailing the
note issues, by enforcing rigid COL
lection of all balances due by local
banks and by securing a loan OF
81 ZOO, 900 in Europe, he finally &C
complished his purpose within the
year. In December, 1922, he re-
signed and was succeeded by Nicho-
las Biddle. Subsequently, until his
death, he lived in retirement, first
in Philadelphia, then in Lancaster,
Pennsylvania, and finally in Charles
ton, South Carolina; but in 1850 he
went as a delegate to the celebrated
Nashville Conference, where he ex-
pressed himself in favor of South
ern Confederacy, but strongly de-
precated any independent action by
separate Southern States.

HEALTHIEsT FOOD FOR HOGS
Should Be Fed Wheat Bran and
Crushed Oats, Mixed Into Thick
SIop-To Fatten Shoats.

The most economical as well as
the healthiest food for brood sows is
wheat bran and crushed oats made
into thick slop-they should have
all they will eat with a relish. Give
a dry, roomy yard to exercise in. An
animal, especially brood SOW, can
not be kept in health when shut in a
dirty pen and small yard filled with
slush and mud. Give once a week to
each one shovelful of a mixture of one
bushel Of dry wood ashes mixed with
one pint of salt and one pint of sal
phur. Mix these we'll together, keep
in covered box where it can be kept
dry. This Is an excellent tonic for
keeping the blood pure and the ami
NAL in health. Burnt wood may take
the place of the ashes. If roots and
cabbage cannot be had, and grass
pasture cannot be given, cut up a few
grass sods and throw into the yard
The grass roots will take the place of
roots. Fattening shoats for the early
spring market should be given all the
corn they will eat and plenty of clean,
fresh we'll water twice a day Keep
the troughs clean. Pigs do best on
warm millfeed and ground oat slop
Have the pens clean and dry. The
pen may be kept comfortable by bank
ing up the outside with long fodder
Do not put too many pigs in one pen.
The younger and weaker ones should
be placed in a pen by themselves and
fed little extra millfeed slop. Bed

The use of silage for fattening beef
cattle has been tested at a number Of
experiment stations and by stockmeN
with excellent results. In experiments
conducted by the writer in 1904, it
was found that silage-fed steers sold
at $4.95 per 100 pounds, while those
fed no silage brought only $40 per
100 pounds, gain of Is cents in favor
of the silage-fed animals. 1t was
found that for every 100 pounds of
gain, All pounds of silage-fed saved
Is pounds of grain and 1856 pounds
of alfalfa.
In these tests silage was fed in con.
nection with alfalfa hay, corn chop.
kafir corn chop, and cottonseed meal
The average soil, in unusual seasons,
will produce ~ to Is tons of green
corn per acre. Even with a yield Of
10 tons per acre, there is an income,
according to this experiment, Of
about $33 per acre.
The financial statement of this ex.
pertinent showed that the silage-fed
steers made profit of $4.10 per head

at once. as they pollute the air. In
infectious or contagious diseases the
urine, feces (bowel movement) and
vomited matter should be disinfected
with chloride of lime or carbolic acid.
Care should ba taken not to empty the
excreta near we'll or any place
where the water supply will become
contaminated. If no sewerage system
is convenient, the feces should be bur-
led or burned after being disinfected.
If patient expectorates he may be
supplied with small pieces of cotton
to receive the sputum. A paper cone
pinned to the side of the mattress,
within easy reach of the patients
hand, makes a convenient receptacle
for these pieces. A new cone should
be provided once or twice day.
The sweeping Of the sick room must
be done slowly, keeping the broom
always near the floor so the dust will
not fly. Before commencing to sweep
the broom should be dampened, or
moist sawdust or tea leaves be strewn
over the floor. The busting should be
done with damp cloth, never with
feather buster. If there Is a fire
in the room the coal should be brought

time being, so everything possible
should be done to keep it clean, airy
and comfortable.

Give a Woman a Chance.

Compulsory military service for
men, urges a German female advocate
OF women's right, should be offset by
compulsory domestic service for wom-
en-. On the theory that life in bar
rack and drill in the manual of arms
have benefited German manhood, she
asks, why will not life in the kitchen
and exercise in the use of pots and
pans similarly raise German woman
hood?
If Germany ever organizes stand
ing army Of cooks it may force all
Europe to follow its lead. Culinary
CONSUMPTION is a severe measure, but
when enforced in Germany other ma
tons might be expected to adopt 1t.
There would be more reason in doing
SO than In following Germany's lead

need of cooks the world over than OF
soldiers. 1t is possible to get along

For three months Mart Meriden
lived in hut in the mountains with
out seeing soul. The mere thought
OF woman bred nausea in him, and
no frequently told himself that the
hermits of the Old Testament had the
right idea Of things after all.
All Of this would indicate that
Meriden had collided head-on with the
subtleness of woman-disastrousl
He had. One Dolly Condor. an
1nnocent-eyed blonde had recently
that his exalted ideas would have re-
fused at one time to accept. Dolly
was an expert at deceit. Her heart
fed upon the love that she exacted
from her admirers-and she gave
nothing in return.
Meriden was only one of the many
moths who had gone before, but he
took the smuggling Of his own wings
bitterly. His conception Of the
other sex underwent complete
change. He brooded over his treat
ment by this wisp Of woman who
had seemed to embody all the essen
tial points of his ideal, and at last
the city with it's constant memories
OF her became unbearable. He went
Into the mountains.
Meriden selected the Rockies as
his point Of solitude, and his assert
naent of guns and fishing tackle was
of the best that could be procured in
New York.
The Gothamite hunted, fished and
gloomed over his disappointing love
affair to his hearts content. No
thought of business entered his mind.
He had no business. Meriden's father
had successfully battled with the
bulls and bears of Wall street, and
at his death there was no reason for
his only heir to work There was
morey enough and to spare-no mat
ter how extravagant this scion Of the
house might be.
Gradually it came to Meriden, how
ever, that thoughts Of Dolly were be-
coming more and more infrequent.
Now, too, his heart refused its GUS
tomary thump. Meriden was shocked,
panied. He was disappointed in him.
self.
Gloomily marveling over the in
consistency of heart that he would
have sworn must remain true forever,
