BARLEY IN ROTATION.

The proper rotation for barley in
the northern country is-barley fol-
lowing corn, peas. potatoes or root
crops Barley is one Of the best
nurse croSs to use where the desire is
to seed down the clovers or mixed
grasses.
1t should not follow itself too close
ly. This is more true of barley than
other of our common cereals. An ex-
celient rotation is clover and timothy
two years, corn one year followed the
next by barley. and grass seeding.
Manure heavily on sod one year in
four but not the barley year.

"
The fact that insect-eating birds are
less plentiful in cities is true, but I
believe that the conditions are rap
Idly improving, says a writer on civic
beauty. Intelligent nature study has
done much to lessen the ardor of the
email boy who formerly used his sling
shot and airgun to such harmful ad-
vantage.
1t is probable, too, that the English
sparrow has done nearly as much as
the small boy to make the life Of
song birds miserable in the cities. I
doubt, however, If the sparrow is as
black as he Is painted, and I sadly
fear that some published opinions of
him have been biased by the writer's
loss of early morning sleep. l know
for a fact that the English sparrow
is far more of an insect-eating bird
than he has the credit Of being. I
have observed them extensively and
bird for bird I know that he is a
more valuable species from an ento.
biological standpoint than is our we'll.

Joy the red breast brings when he

spring, I think that we could do with

injurious insects, eats much fruit and
literally gorges himself on our soil
improving fishing worms.

ence of birds in cities should not go
unmentioned. The peaceful Tin day

The hard times of the last ma
tional democratic administration
when Cleveland was president, is
being played up and utilized by the
present standpat republicans for all
that it is worth. The opponents Of
Woodrow Wilson are trying to use
the hard times of 1S93-4-5 as an ar
gument against Wilson and a DEM
ocratic victory. The Taft followers
make the mistake of calling the
democratic party a free trade party
and a tariff for-revenue only party.
The unprogressive republicans seem
to think that Wilson and democrat
ic party intend to carry the country
straight to free-trade Or TO a reve-
nue. tariff basis in the case of
democratic success.
Such is not the case. Woodrow
Wilson, Oscar Underwood and
Champ Clark, time and time again,
have discussed the tariff question
and have said very clearly that all
that the democrats propose to do is
to set 10 work to carefully and eau
tiously begin a downward revision of
tine tariff. Some months ago MIR.
Underwood contributed an article to
the Outlook, in which he clearly de-
fined his views on the tariff. Champ
Clark and Woodrow Wilson also con-
tributed articles to the same maya
zine. We wish the honest Taft re-
publicans of this section could get
hold of these articles and see for
themselves what the democrats ex-
pect to do. All three agree in a
general way that free-trade is out
Of the question. They take the view
that a tariff for revenue is fun
damenta doctrine of the democratic
party, but that it will require many
years to get around to it.
The hard times Of the Cleveland
administration cannot be brought np
as an argument against the DEM
ocratic party. There were three
contributing causes TO the panic and
hard times that caused to much dis
tress in Cleveland's second admins
tration:
There was a worldwide fall in
prices, due to various economic and
industrial changes. This fail in
prices covered a period of twenty or
twenty-five years. The business de-
preston in 1898 was not confined to
the United States-it was world
wide.
1.-The greatest cause of the fin
ancial depression was due to an
uncertainty and scare in the finan-
cial world brought about by the dis
cussion between the gold-standard
people and the fTee-silver people.
3.-The revision of the tariff at
this critical, sensitive time doubt
less accentuated the depression and
made the times harder. But we do
not think that it is Just and fair to
speak of the democratic tariff in
Cleveland's time as the primary
cause Of the depression.

Very, Very Innocent

Col. Roosevelt testified before the
Senate Investigating Committee that
he was not personally aware Of any
specific contribution TO his campaign
fund and that he made no promises
or concessions TO anyone. IL all
those who believe that statement
were required 10 stand on their
heads the number would not occas-
ion any special comment. Every
body knows that the interests are
not in the habit of throwing money
to the birds. They would not have
given millions without SOME promise
of protecnon. They are too well
versed in business 10 make a bad
investment of SO much money.

the wealthy San Francisco reformer
has secured the pledges OF forty
thousand Republicans to support
Governor Wilson. These men are
deeply disappointed that the Repub-
hcan Convention did not name a
progressive. but they declined to fol-
low Roosevelt out of the party as
they had no sympathy with the third

ficered by such men as DIR. Wiley,

The Old Spanish Game Again.

A visitor to Fort Mill a few
days ago showed The Times man
a letter he had received from
Madrid, Spain, in which the
writer stated that he was in
prison and wanted friend" to
help him secure a vast amount of
money. assuring the friend"
that he would receive half the
money upon its recovery.
This is the same old game
that has been tried for years
upon thousands of Americans,
and, strange to say, occasionally
an individual will fall to the
scheme. 1t was only a few weeks
ago that a Westerner who had
saved a few thousand dollars
from his daily toll was inter-
cepted by the police of New York
City as he was in the act of
boarding a steamship for Spain
to comply with the request of
one of those Spanish tricksters.
The Westerner thanked the
New York officers heartily when
he was informed of the scheme.

Tillman's Committee Assignments.

Speaking of the editorial in
last weeks issue of The Times
relative to Senator Tillman's COM
mittee assignments, the Char
lotte Observer says: Senator
Tillman is also to figure largely
in the next Congress. The Fort
Mill Times says he is the rank
ing member of six Senate COM
mittees and that he will probably
prefer the Craftsmanship of the
Appropriations Committee, about
the most important of all. The
Times very properly says that
South Carolina is to be con-
graduated on the position of her
senior Senator. Certainly not
since the Civil War has any
South Carolinian attained the
prominence which will soon be
Senator Tillman's." South Car
olina has long been measly about
according Tillman due praise,
but the time is at hand when his
greatness must be admitted by
all.

Co. K Would Attend Inauguration.

Members of the Fort Mill Light
Infantry, Company K, First
Regiment, N. G. S. c., are
anxious that their company be
designated as one of the South
Carolina companies which will be
sent to Washington to take part
in the inaugural parade of Presi-,
dent Woodrow Wilson. The local
company is generally credited
by military men of the State as
being one of the most efficient
units of the First Regiment and
it is certain that the company
would acquit itself creditably
should it be privileged to assist
in the Inauguration of the in
coming President. AS yet the
matter of the company going to
Washington for this purpose has
only been discussed informally,
but it is not unlikely that cor
respondence relative to the trip
will be taken up with the Adju-
tant General within the next
few days.

THIRTY.TW0 PRISONERS
WERE GIVEN FREEDOM.

AS a special Thanksgiving
present Governor Blease on We'd
nesday filed with the secretary
of State paroles for 20 prisoners
and full pardons for three. The
nature of the crimes for which
paroles and pardons were given,
range from larceny to murder.
Many of those paroled were in
carcerated for life, while others
had extremely short sentences.
One of the most noted of those
paroled was w. H. Mills, who
was convicted of the murder OF
Frank Deal in the July term,
1907, court of general sessions
and common pleas for York
county before Judge John S.
Wilson. The killing took place
in Blacksburg. The parole holds
good during good behavior, but
specifies that if Mills desires to
live with the woman about whom
the killing occurred he must dc
so outside the State.
Another noted person who was
given a full pardon was j. Stobc
Young, who was convicted OF
breach of trust in the RichlanC
county court of general sessions
and common pleas, January term
1910, before Judge Prince
Young was mixed up in the ia
nous Seminole case with Johr
Y. Darlington and others. He
was previously paroled.
Among the other prisoner:
who were paroled was Will Dun
lap, convicted of murder with
recommendation to mercy, cour
of general sessions and common
pleas for York, April term, 1908
before Judge R. C. Watts. Sen

Jonnie Hicks, convicted o1
larceny of a bicycle, court o.
general sessions and common

was also paroled. Hicks wa'

Preparing for Parcels Post.

In order that adequate faclll-

handling of parcels post business
efficiently and on a countrywide
scale at the outset January l.,
Postmaster General Hitchcock
has asked every postmaster in
the United States to obtain from
the business public information
as to the probable extent the
new system will be used. Each
postmaster has been provided
with circulars which set forth in
detail the provisions of the par
GELS post law, the rates of post
age and an explanatory state
ment concerning the delivery of
parcels post matter. Attention
also is directed to the fact that
such matter may be registered
and also insured against loss.

Want Pardon for Fewell.

John Fewell, a negro who was
reared in Fort Mill township, is
now serving a thirty-year term
in the North Carolina peniten-
tiary for murder. The colored
people of this section will, there
fore, be interested in the follow
lowing article from the Charlotte
News telling of efforts that are
being made to secure a pardon
for Fewell:
Mr.. D. B. Paul of the local
bar, is making an effort to have
Governor Kitchin pardon John
Fewell, a negro who was con-
victed in Mecklenburg superior
court in September, 1903, for the
murder of Robert Mccain, col
ored, and sentenced to 80 years
in the penitentiary. 1t is be-
lieved the governor will be favor
able to the plea for pardon, since
the presiding judge, the solicitor
and Col. Jake F. Newell, who as
sisted the solicitor in the prose-
cution of Fewell, have all Joined
in asking the pardon. Judge
James F. Webb, who is presiding
at this weeks term of civil
court, was at the time Of Few
ellis conviction the prosecuting
attorney of this district and was
assisted in this particular case
by Mr.. Jake F. Newell. Judge
George Brown, now of the su-
preme court bench, was at that
time a superior court Judge and
presided at Fewell's trial.
