The State board of health stands
pat on it's first proposition that the
hosiery mill at the penitentiary is a
breeding place for tuberculosis and
should be abolished, and the board
claims to have made a thorough in
vestigation of the situation, and it
should be remembered, too, that the
State board of health is not in poll
tics, and there can be no political Sig
nifcance to the position taken, but it
is a plain and simple statement of
facts as the board sees the situation
It is now up to the legislature to say
whether it will permit the continuance
of a situation that is a breeding place
for tuberculosis.

in the ordinary way. Care should be
exercised to keep the potatoes from
becoming chilled 1T any time; the tenn
perature in a bank Should not he al
lowed to go below 50 degrees at any
time during the winter. We find that
where potatoes are once thoroughly
chilled, it is almost impossible to keep
them. The storage rots, such as the
soft and the dry rot both Of which fire.
quently occur in stored potatoes, make
rapid headway on potatoes when they
are once chilled. Any temperature be-
low so degrees will chill the potatoes
sufficiently to enable these rots to
get start.
Potatoes should never be banked
for two years in succession in the same
bank. The fungi which cause the dis
eases in the field and the ones which
cause the rots in storage, will live
over in these old banks and will at
tack the new potatoes as soon as they
are stored. The same soil and the
same straw should not be used for
two years in succession for covering
the banks for this same reason. Where
potato houses are used they should be
thoroughly cleaned out and the walls
and floors sponged or sprayed with
3 per cent. solution Of formaline or
/ per cent. solution OF blue stone be-
fore the potatoes are brought in.
Where these precautions have bee
followed we have experienced very
little difficulty in keeping sweet pota-
toes.

We do not see much advantage to
the Southern cotton grower in the fifty
million dollar proposition to hold two
million bales Of cotton. Just how this
plan is to advance the price CT cotton
we do not see. It may be that We do
not understand the scheme. It seems
that the cotton is to be sold to the
cotton buyer and the seller is to re-
ceive SIS on each bale and certificate
for three-fourths Of the advance in
case the price advances and to pay
one dollar a bale for storage and in
surance. But if the price declines the
farmer loses all. We are told that
fuller details will be given later.

It would have been undoubtedly bet
ter if the Newberry grand jury had
returned a true bill against Fielder and
allowed the case to go to trial. There
are those, of course, that will rejoice
that Fielder "has won," but we do not
think this is true. We think that the
administration of the law in New
berry has lost temporarily at least.
The probability is that the next grand
jury, to be drawn in the spring will
return true bill, as it has a right to
do if it sees proper.-Yorkville En-
quirer.
We are inclined to think the York
Vile Enquirer is right. We have abb
solutely no interest in the case and
if it had been left to us we would not
have brought the indictment, and in
fact we would have closed up the
whole dispensary business years ago
and been rid of the whole thing.
There is so much prejudice and poll
tics in the whole business that there
IS little chance Of a fair and impartial
trial On any side. The finding of a
"no bill" is no vindication.

Some time ago The Herald and New

Some time ago The Herald and News
wrote to President Finley of the
Southern railway, to ask if We could
not secure his cooperation in the mat
ter OF relocating the public road be-
tween Newberry and Prosperity so as
to avoid some of those dangerous
grade crossings, and he replied that
he would refer the matter to Mr.. Coap-
man and ask him to take it up with
the county officials. The supervisor
was apprised of what President Fin
ley said in the matter. And the sup
ervisor seemed interested.
Under date of November 25 We re-
ceived a letter from Mr.. Finley in
which he says: ''In further response
to your letter of September rs, in re-
spect to the highway between Pros
perity and Newberry,' am informed
that Superintendent Williams has had
a. conference with the county super
visor of Newberry county, Mr.. L. I.
Feagle, on this subject, the results Of
which I have no doubt are satisfactory
to Mr.. Feagle" We do not know the
results of the conference, but we know
that the supervisor is going right on
building the road without getting rid
of any of the grade crossings. And We
know further that it would have been
economy and good judgment to have
paid more than the land is worth to
have gotten ride of at least some of the
more dangerous grade crossings.
There ought to be a State law to re-
quire all of them taken out. Where
they could be easily taken out without
injury to the road or the property, and
with positive benefit to both, it is little
less than criminal to leave them or
to build a good road without taking
them out. This could have been done
between Newberry and Prosperity.

Mr.. Cecil Wyche, son Of DR.. c. T.
Wyche, of Prosperity, has announced
that he will be a candidate for the
State senate in Spartanburg county.
He has lived there for several years
and is practicing law. The Spartan
burg Herald thinks he is too young to
go into politics. It says he was sus-
pected Of having political ambitions
because he came from Newberry. Well,
it is no sin to be young, is it? And
it is no crime to have political ambl-
tions that we ever heard of, though
it may be for a Newberry man.

KEEPING SWEET POTATOES.

During the past three years expert
ments looking to the best method of
keeping sweet potatoes have been
carried on at the experiment station
here. A careful study has been made
of the rots of potatoes, and the con-
ditions under which these rots thrive.
We find that the majority of the trou-
bic in keeping sweet potatoes comes
from the presence of disease on the
potatoes when they are brought into
the bank from the field. The black
rot, and the stem rot, both of which
are very common throughout the State,
are primarily field diseases. They at
tack the underground portions Of the
plant while in the fe'S and cause black
and scabby looking areas on the sur
face of the tubers When these pota-
toes are dug and stored in banks or
houses these diseases spread through
the entire lot and cause the potatoes
to rot The most important thing,
then, in connection with storing pota-
toes is to see that you have absolutely
healthy potatoes to begin with. Where
the crop is planted from vines the pc
tatoes are usually found to be very
free from the disease. For this rea-
son it is we'll to bank the potatoes
grown from vines separately from
those grown from slips. This is es-
pecially advisable where you are not
sure that the potatoes grown from
slips are free fro:n ::sa"~

We understand that Senator Smith
is advising the farmers not to use fer
tilizer next year. We can not see the
advantage in taking such advice. Bet
ter use fertilizer and cut down the
acreage, and make the same amount
on one-half the land. Then use the
other half for pasture or grain crops.
But it is not likely we will have as
big crop another year as We had this
year.

A good many out-of-town and out
of-State newspapers carried "stories"
to the effect that Governor Blease was
sworn as a witness before the grand
jury here on the Fielder indictment.
How this report got into the news
papers is not known. 1t was not sent
out by any of the Newberry corrc-
spondents of the daily papers. 1t was
stated in the reports sent out from
here that Governor Blease was in the
court room at The time the indictment
was handed out. That was all there
was to it. AS matter of fact, Governor
Blease was not witness before the
grand jury in the Fielder case, and did
not go befors he grand jury.
