OBJECT LESSON FOR FARMERS
Colonel Banks Ship Carload of Fine
Steers.

The Calhoun Advance says:
Some tine ago We noted the fact
that Col. J. A. Banks had received
seven car loads Of cattle from North
Carolina to feed. Last week he
shipped them to market after feed
ing them several months. It was an
unusual sight ts see so many nice
fat steers driven through town and it
created considerable comment.
'In round numbers the cattle sold
after fattened for $4,000, more than
what was paid for them, out it cost
$4,000 to fatten them. making the
fertilizer from the feeding cost about
$4,000. II as experts say you get
back in manure about so per cent. of
what you feed. then there is profit
iof $4,000 in feeding such number
OF cattle.
The Advance truly says more Of
our citizens might investigate this
method Of handling cattle. and We
are sure the Colonel would take
pleasure. as he always does, in Civ
ing them the benefit Of his exper-
ience with them, and if found profta-
BILE many acres OF land now idle
could be used and built up by this
method" Mr.. r. T. Dukes, near
Orangeburg. has also fed and shipped
steers to market at a good profit.

GOVERNOR BLEASE URGED ONCE
MORE TO APPEAR.
Committee Asks Him to
Present Any Information He May
Have Bearing on Old D1spcnsary.

As the old saying goes Governor
Blease should either put up or shut
up. TO the charge Governor Blease
made against them in his Newberry
interview, that they were white
washing their friends anG Gevoiing
their time to attempting to find
something to discredit him and his
administration, the dispensary in
vestigating committee made reply
late Friday afternoon.
After receiving the Governors
refusal to appear before the COM
n.ittee and submit his proofs and
evidence, which he says he has and
of the Governors refusal to turn
over the Fielder letters, the commit
tee says that the Governor can
hardly be serious in his statement
that the committee is attempting to
whitewash'
They recite the Governors repeat
ed refusal to assist the committee,
but renew their invitation to him to
come forward and give out what he
knows The committee is attempt
ing to prove without fear and with
out favor. To this end the commit
tee invites any citizen of South Car
olina, who has any knowledge Of any
one who has had criminal or un-
questionable connection with the late
disnensary, or who suspects any one
of any knowledge of unlawful acts
to come forward and assist the COM
mittee in probing into every thing.
Governor Blease is included in this
invitation and the committee states
that they would be very glad to have
the Governor present any proof or
evidence he may have. The SHOW
down" has come and the committee
issues the invitation broadcast.
Their next meeting will be on April
3, at II A. NJ, in the State House

ready to give the committee his in
formation. "The investigation is go
ing to be thorough and will be with
out favor" was statement which
sums up the attitude of the commit
tee.
Governor Blease should be on hand
and tell what he knows about the old
State dispensary or the Ansel wind
ing-up commission if he knows any
thing He owes this to the State. to
himself and the men he has charged
with wrongdoing. II he does no;
make good his charge, the people will
come to the conclusion that he was
talking through his hat when he
made them The committee gives him
every chance to prove his charges.

BLEASE is FOR harmon
WANT TO CONTROL STATE DEM
OCRATiC CONVENTION.
So As to Elect Delegates to the Ma
tional Convention Who VIII Vote
for the Ohio Governor.

That the Democratic State Conven-
ton on Nay l5 is going 20 De the
frst test OF strength between the
Blease and Jones forces in the latter
class being included al the Anti
Bleasi,es-iS evident aud that Gov
ernor BIease fully realizes this is also
certain.
The Democratic clubs are the first
10 meet, and they elect delegates TO
the county conventions, which in
turn choose the delegates TO the STATE
Convention. Realizing the import
ance OF beginning at the bottom, and
lining up his forces il the first skir-
mish, the Governor is urging his
friends to attend the club meetings
and see that they are represented in
the county conventions. He stated
this in his recent speech at Union.
Tie idea OF Blease, OF course, is
to eject delegates to the State Con-
vention which Will insure the Blease-
ties dominating it and electiGg such
q delegation as the Governor ap-
proves, which would be Harmon
delegation, to the National Demo
cratic Convention at Baltimore.
But Governor Rlease. shrewd pol
itic.an and veteran campaign man
ager that he is. is going to have the
fight Of his life when he undertakes
to stem the onrushing Wilson tide in
South Carolina.
Ii is safe to say that the New JeT-
sey Governor is the choice Of the
overwhelming majority OF the voters
.of this State for the Presidency and
that a delegation instructed for him
will be sent to the Baltimore Conren-
it!on.
Governor Wilson's candidacy is in
creasing in strength and favor with
South Carolinians and the attempt to
stem the Wilson tide will be about
equal to an effort to dam a raging
torrent.

joan z. Monk, Washington CORES
pondent OF the St. Paul Dispatch, the
leading afternoon newspaper of Min
nesota and the northwest, has written
:or his paper an Illuminating story
on the present situation in the Dem
ccratic party with reference to the
presidential nomination.
The St. Paul Dispatch is a pro-
gressive Republican paper. Mr.. Monk
is correspondent, is one Of the best
informed press writers II the nation
II capital. Neither lie nor his paper
has choice for the Democratic nom
nation, on which account Mr.. Monks
views are al the more valuable as
reflecAng the real situation in the
Democratic party. 'Mr. Monks story
10 the Dispatch follows:
The Democrats are having their
troubles. Clark, Underwood and
Harmon have combined against VIII
son. The fight in the Democratic
party over the present nomination is
exceedingly bitter. but the factional-
ism among the Democrats is over
shadowed for the time by the spec
tacular contest between Roosevelt
and Taft The Democrats are getting
in such straits at tine when
they believe. that victory is IN sight
that they are beginning to talk COM
promise.
Just atAthis time Governor VIII
son, of New Jersey, leads the field
so far as prospects are concerned.
His strength is tacit!y conceded
through the establishment Of COM
mulity OF interest by Messrs. Clark,
Harmon and Underwood.
In all probability two or three
dark horses will be entered in the
Democratic race Among those most
prominently mentioned in this con-
nection is Senator John ". Kern, Of
Indiana. Friends Of Kern say that in
due season the Bryan brand will be
placed on the Indiana senator.
Among Democratic leaders here
little concern is given to the candi-
6acy Of Speaker Clark as a practical
political proposition. AIr. Clark has
4 legislative record so vulnerable
that Democratic leaders Go not be-
"a presidential campaign such as is
'ieve it would ever stand the test OF
now approaching. Tire speaker is
serious about his CANDIDACY but even
his friends carcede ti:at il he is
nominated ne vii! De defeated. Ac-
cordingIy. the Clark candidacy, it is
understood. is being utilized merely
for the purpose of the tying up dele
gates for delivery 2t the proper time

is true of the candidacy OF Repre-
sentative Oscar ". Underwood. of Al
abama, the Democratic house leader,
whose strength as factor il the
presidential! situation is confined TO a
few states Of the south.
THE Democratic fgh: in its final
