Bull Moosers are going to get busy.
They have just received orders from

keep it hot until they land their chief
in the White House.
Just as a correspondent called up
on Capt. John G. Capers, former
member of the national committee
from South Carolina, for information
as to what the Roosevelt progressive
movement was doing, Maj. L. w. G.
Blalock Of Goldville came into the
office on his way from New York
to his home. Maj. Blalock did not
hesitate to say that he had been In
New York in conference with Col.
Roosevelt and his managers and that
South Carolina would be well repre-
scented at the Progressive national
convention at Chicago August 9th
next. Mai. Blalock stated that he
had undertaken this work in behalf
Of the national Progressive movement
and it's leader, Col. Roosevelt, n
that he had communicated with a
number Of men in South Carolina n
would also have a conference called
quite shortly at which delegates
would be selected. He stated that
the delegates would be high class in
dependent men, regardless Of former
political affiliation. He seemed par
ticularly glad to have had the direct
Endorsement Of Col. Roosevelt and his
advisers in New York that only such
delegates from South Carolina would
be acceptable. Maj. Blalock was
very emphatic in his statement that
he repudiated any alleged call for a
progressive convention, such as had
been referred to in the papers over
the name of Laban Morgan or any
others. Capt. Capers would only
state that he was doing his best to
get out Of politics and devote his en-
tire time to his business.

this situation Is that the farmer begin
right now to plan for next winter.
These plans should include sowing

at his disposal the millets. sorghum

these Is corn. which perhaps will pro

II Is the saving and utilizing Of ell

II is necessary for big manufacturing

that the farmer should adopt like

The rows on which the velvet beans
