WALHALLA, s. c.:
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1911.
ELECTION NEXT SATURDAY.

The people Of Oconee will have an
opportunity e Saturday to vote
on the question Of changing our
form of county government from the
system as at present. with two
County Commissioners and a County
Supervisor, to the system Of local
Township Commissioners. This Is a
matter that must be decided by the
voters themselves. There seems to
be no n capable Of advising OF
pointing to the solution Of a knotty
problem. While we are not able
to see whereby the county is to be
in any way bettered by the proposed
change, yet we would not attempt to
say that there Is no possibility Of
improvement in our present condi-
ton or our system. Both are bad
enough.
All we can do is to advise our peo-
pie to think owe the provisions Of
the bill as it stands and vote for
what they think best. Some say that
we cannot make matters worse than
they are at present, but those who
intend to vote for the change on
that ground will do well to put in a
little time thinking. While the pro-
posed system is doubtless no worse
and many think it much better
than the old, there is nothing but
confusion to result from a mixing
Of the two.
AS a matter Of fact, we think II
lawmakers made a serious mistake
when they attempted to do anything
with the situation at this time other
than make provision for a complete
change at the expiration OF the
terms OF Office for which the pres
II set of officials were elected.
The matter is up to tho voters to
settle as to them seems best. We
have no suggestion to offer save that,
as we see the situation, it cannot be
improved through the only change
possible at this time. 1t would be
best, we think, to let the matter
stand, and give our legislators an
opportunity to do. at the next session
OF the General Assembly, what ought
to have been done at the last session.

Care Of Brood SOws.

Plenty Of exercise Is necessary dur
ing the whole period of pregnancy,
which can best be provided by fur
nishing a suitable pasture for graz
Ing. In this State green forage can
be provided every month in the year.
For a permanent pasture Bermuda
grass with bur and white clover Is
unexcelled. This, supplemented with
rye, wheat, oats and vetch, cowpeas,
soy beans, chufas, peanuts, rape, red
and crimson clover, and sorghum, rs
forage crops, with skim milk and
Stops from the house mixed with
wheat middlings, bran, ground oats
and corn, provides ideal feed and
conditions for brood sows and for
producing pork at a minimum cost.
Numerous feeding trials prove that
sows fed extensively Of corn and
other carbonaceous r~ations sive birth
to small filters that lack vigor and
often results in rendering the SOW
useless as a breeder, while rations
containing the required amount Of
heterogeneous feed, obtained from clo-
vers. peas, beans, vetch, oats, brans,
ETC.. result In large, vigorous filters
and keep the SOW in excellent con
dition.
In this climate 1T is advisable to
have sows farrow in March or April.
The pigs then get a good start be-
fore the hot weather comes on and
are weaned in time to have the sows
bred to farrow again in September or
October. This gives the little pigs
sufficient age and size to stand the
winter conditions. The period of ges-
tation with sows Is about 112 DAYS.
The date OF breeding should always
be noted, and about a week or ten
days before faro wing the SOW should
be put In a clean pen, not less than
six by eight feet, with a fender
around the sides about eight inches
from the floor and eight or ten
inches from the side, to prevent the
SOW crushing the little pigs by lying
on them. 1t is preferable to have a
small lot adjoining the pen. For a
week before faro wing the SOW should
be fed laxative food and her bowels
kept open. Give nothing but water
the first day after narrowing and feed
lightly for a few days until the SOW
regains her normal condition., when
she will require plenty Of nutritious
feed to stimulate a maximum flow OF
milk. At birth the little pigs will
weigh from two to two and a halt
pounds each and for the first month
must depend solely upon the mother
for nourishmcnt. The only way OF
feeding the pigs is through the SOW;
therefore 1t pays to feed literally. If
the litter Is large and the SOW is
poorly fed or is a poor mixer, the
pigs become stunted and are usually
Improbable to raise.
When the pigs are three weeks old
the SOW should again be turned or
good pasture and fed grain or Stops
in addition. At the end of two
months the pigs should be weaned
and about three days after WEAVING
the SOW Is ready to he bred asait.

Would Save SO, 900, 900

Many of the railways of the
country are being overpaid for
transporting the mails. l believe
that a saving of approximately
100000 a year to the govern
ment can be made without injustice
to the carriers by readjusting the
pay on a basis of six per cent
profit to all railways carrying the
mails
Postmaster-General Hitchcock
thus summarized the results of his
investigation into the cost of rail
way mail transportation under an
old law.
Several of the great trunk line
systems are receiving lions share
of the excessive compensation,
said Mr.. Hitchcock. The pay.
ments to them will be reduced con
siderably, while some of the smaller
lines will receive a material in.
crease in pay"
The investigation has been in
progress more than a year and is
not concluded yet. While many
of the railways are carrying the
mails at large profit, +" the report
announced.
Others arefurnishing the service
at loss. Of the 3o4 companies
reported on 27S are making profits
from mail transportation, while 116
are mourning losses. The rate of
profit and loss varies widely with
different companies.
The postmaster-general will
recommend that congress authorize
readjustment of railway mail pay
in keeping with these findings and
also certain changes in the method
of fixing such compensations.
After congress has authorized
the readjustments in the pay for
transportation" said Mr.. Hitch
cock, the postal surplus which is
the first in many years, will be in
creased largely, paving the way
still further for the introduction of
one cent letter postage, which can
be accomplished without postal
deficit just as soon as the postage
rate on second-class mail matter is
properly adjusted"

TRULY IN HARD LUCK.

A young man, the heir to consid-
cradle wealth, who is imprisoned on
little bit of territory in Brunswick,
thinks Dame Fortune has been I'M
kind to him. He can never leave
his estate unless he first sacrifices
his patrimony. His name is Eben-
stein and he inherits his property
from a grandfather who, as Hanove-
rian, fought against the Prussians in
1866. Old Ebenstein never forgave
the Prussians and in his will tied up
his property with the condition that
the tenant-for-life should never set
foot on Prussian soil. But as Prus-
STA surrounds Brunswick Ebenstein
can never get out of it without vio-
lating the will and letting his money
60 to a remote, undeserving cousin.

PASSED AWAY
Mrs. Jas. MOOnan Dies Last
Evening in Minneapolis

The people of this city were
visibly shocked last evening when
the news became current that Mrs.
Jas. Moonan had passed away in
Minneapolis at 6:15 following a
two weeks illness, her ailment
having been gall stones and COM
plication resulting therefrom with
which she has suffered, more or
less, for several years.
Mr.. Moonan left on the noon
train yesterday in response to a
telegram acquainting him with a
turn for the worse. He was reach
ed in Duluth at II O'Clock just as
he was taking the train for Min
neapolis, and learned of his bereav-
ment. The boys are at the Miller
cottage on the lake and do not as
yet know of their mothers death.
We have been unable to learn
further particulars. Mr.. Moonal
communicated with friends this
morning and said he would arrive
tomorrow Saturday evening with
the remains for interrment.
The demise is most regrettable.
Mrs. Moonan was very popular and
her friends were legion. She was
member of the United Order of
Foresters and socially very active.
Mr.. Moonan is the popular agent
of the Duluth & Iron Range, a
member of the School Board and
also member of the Knights of
Pythias and several other orders.
Mrs. Moonan was devoted wife
and mother and the home will miss
her. 1t is sad.
