The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1912-08-14

ponent In the race for governor sec
onded his nomination and voted for
him for associate justice. Having
served twelve years as associate JUS
tice, in 1909, upon the retirement of
Chief Justice Pope, Judge Jones was
elevated to the position of chief JUS
tice, which Is the highest judicial po-
sitfon in the gift of the state.
1t may be truthfully said that no
judge In South Carolina In many years
has enjoyed greater reputation both
for ability and honesty than Ira B.
Jones. The same industry and con-
scientious performance of duty which
was noticeable in him as young man
have characterized his work as a
Judge.
He has been the recipient of honors
from his fellow men and the emolu-
ments Of office, but the satisfaction of
hard days work we'll done has ever
been his best reward.
Among the charges hurled at Judge
Jones by his political opponent is that
he has leaned toward corporations
Suffice 1t to say that as attorney he
never represented a corporation and
as judge he repeatedly upheld large
verdicts against the corporations. In
the case of Rhodes against the Gran
by Cotton Mills Of Columbia. he up
held a verdict for $S,OOO.OO in favor
OF Rhodes on the ground that there
was evidence that he had been unjustly
discharged and blacklisted by the cot
ton mills. The verdict which he sus
tanned against the railroads would run
up into the hundreds of thousands of
dollars, there being one verdict
against the Southern Railray Company
for $4,000 and many others for large
amounts.
He has never leaned either toward
or against corporations, but his de-
cisions and rulings have been those of
what every judge sould be-just and
fair to all

Charges Unjust.

AS Citizen, Lawyer, Legislator,
Judge and Chief OF Justice, Ira. B.
Jones has Made Good" He has lived
an upright moral life; is a conscien-
cious member Of the Associate Re-
formed Presbyterian Church, is tenn
perate in his habits, and has measur-
ed up to all the requirements of true
and useful man. 1t should be remem-
bered that this man who is now be-
fore the people in the race for Gov
ernor has never in his life been charg-
ed with anything dnbecoming the
highest and best citizen until his on
ponent brought charges against him.
The absurdity of these charges can
best be shown by the fact that Cole
IL. Blease himself voted for Judge
Jones for United States Senator in
1909 with such men as Frank b. Gary.
LeGrand Walker, j. l.. Coker and 9TH
er high men. To try to make South
Carolinians believe that this man who
has been their judge believes in So
clel equality between the races is so
evidently trick to catch votes as
to need no exposure.
Ira b. Jones is no political expert
ment' and as a governor, he may be
counted on to give the people the same
honest, faithful and intelligent SER
vice which has always characterized
his work in their behalf.

Always Leap Year In New Guinea.

So tar rs proposals OF marriage are
concerned in New Guinea 1t is always
leap year. for in that island the men
consider 1t beneath their dignity to
notice women. much less to make
overtures OF marriage. Consequently
the proposing is left to the women to
do. When the ebony belle falls in
love with a man she sends a piece OF
string to his sister. or. II he has no
sister, to his mother. or another OF
his lady relatives. Then the lady who
receives the string tells the dusky
Adonis that the particular damsel Is
in :ove with him. No courting fol-
lows, however. for 1t Is considered bad
form to waste time in such a pursuit.
II the man thinks he would like to
wed the lady. he meets her alone. and
they decide straight away whether to
marry or drop the idea. In the for.
mer case the betrothal is announced.
The man is then branded on the back

Transportation of forest service equip

FARM VALUES MAKE SHOWING
Aggregate Values Of Land In Arid and
seml.Arid Regions Have Made
Remarkable Advance.

The arid and semi.arid regions
make n remarkable showing in farm
values. according to the United States
census. A bulletin isued by the cen
sus bureau shows that the aggregate
value of farm land in the sections
named is s10.4sS 100000. This enor-
nous value is all the more remarkable
because of the contrast with tho
$3.249.0O0.000 indicated by the census
Of 1900. The value OF farm land in
the arid and semi-arid regions in 1910
was nearly half that of all farm land
in the United States ten years before
that year. Whether values Of this
kind in other parts OF the country in.
creased in the same proportion or not.
1t is evident that they made a big nd
vance. and from 1t all one may form
an idea Of the vast growth In the
country's wealth from this source.

Continued care in handling the
dairy products is the price OF success.
A dairy COW should be allowed to
freshening.
Where dairying is not practiced the
calf will have also to pay for keeping
the COW year.
The mangei is excellent for stock
feed, being greatly relished by milk
cows in winter.
The best market for skim milk on
the farm is afforded by good dairy
calves and quick growing pigs.
Sweet corn Is one of the very best
crops to grow to feed as soiling
crop to the dairy cows in summer.
Just after the COW has freshened
she should have the same feeds she
has been given previous to calving.
1t should be remembered that the
milk cannot be increased in solids
and in fat by the feeding of rich food.
To feed cows profitably without
some homegrown sort of protein.
such as the leguminous hays, Is diff
cult.
It is best to reduce the milk pro
ducing food, so that mature COW will
dry and rest for month to six weeks
before calving.
Successful dairying Is largely a mat
ter of securing cheap feed, as we'll as
good COWS. The silo is one method of
economiziug on feed.

useful animals are safe investment.

Caution on PasturInq Alfalfa.

Alfalfa should be pastured with
very great caution. In fact, the farm
er who holds this matchless crop In
proper regard will pasture something
else and just use the alfalfa for hay.
But If the alfalfa is to be pastured
about half enough stock should be
kept on 1t to keep the growth down.
By this metho. two or three cuttings
of hay will be obtained in addition to
the pasturage.
Another caution to throw out is that
1t should be allowed to make a good
start in the spring before the stock
are turned on, and should be allowed
to go in the winter with a good cover
Under no conditions should 1t be pas
tured in cold weather.

STOP ESCAPE OF MOISTURE
Farmer In semi.Arld Regions Should
Use Every Endeavor to Prevent
Evaporation Of Water.

The escape OF moisture. not the
lack OF 1t. Is what has done the So
called dry west the greater harm.
Today we passed spot where two
men were digging a cellar. 1t IL in q
very dry country where all crops must
be irrigated. and the subsoil. after 60
ing down n foot or two. is almost as
hard as rock and has to be loosened
by sharp pick or by dynamite.
Across this cellar soil an oil road had
been made which formed n perfectly
impervious crust two or three inches
deep. Through this oil crust no mois-
ture could by any possibility 30 to
the soil beneath II. and on the other
hand not particle OF moisture could
escape from the soil under It into the
air above. As the men slowly dug in
TO the fiinty dry subsoil. Just beside
this hard waterproof surface they re-
marked that when they got under tho
road where no rain moisture could by
any possibility come they feared It
would be like rock. Curious to see II
Just the opposite might not prove to
be tho case. the writer with q sharp
pick succeeded In barring a good strip
OF the coil under the oil road. To the
surprise Of the diggers. both soil and
subsoil under this air.tight covering
was SO moist that It could be spaded
readily with but very little use Of the
pick.
We cannot cover our farms with an
alright protector. but in every way
In our power we should shut on evap-
Grafton. The high winds. the dry air
and tho hot sun all combine to take
the moisture from our soil Just when
We need It most.
That is ono great reason why the
forest condition brought about by the
cool shady protection Of the corn field.
leaves our corn land with 30 much
more moisture in It than open road.
ways or grain fields.
The cultivation. too. tends to take
the place Of tho oiled roadway. For
this reason. too. our grains should be
put in early and as soon as possible be
made to shade and protect the surface
soil
The same principle is involved when
on some soils some seasons the grain
does 80 much better for being lightly
narrowed when two inches or SO high.
1t Is why lightly disked or sharply har-
rowed stubble land grows better corn
or grain II thus treated the moment
the snow is of. Anything and every
thing that will tend to prevent the es-
cape OF subsoil moisture will tend just
as strongly to give us n good crop and
certain one. Evaporation should be
headed of in every way in our power.
It is like letting our money run to
waste to let our soil moisture get away
from US.

Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
For a Time.

It's easy to understand how ordi.
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks Of his own expe.
rience:
Il had used coffee for years and really
did not exactly believe 1t was injuring
me although I had palpitation Of the
heart every day. (Tea contains caf-
feine-the same drug found in coffee
and Is just as harmful as coffee.)
Finally one day severe and al
most fatal attack Of heart trouble
frightened me and I gave up both tea
and coffee, using Postum instead, and
since that time I have had absolutely
no heart palpitation except on one or
two occasions when I tried a small
quantity Of coffee, (which caused severe
irritation and proved to me I must lot
1t alone.
when we began using Postum it
seemed weak-that was because we
did not make 1t according to directions
but now we put a little bit of but
ter in the pot when boiling and allow
the Postum to boil full Is minutes

POLICEMAN SURE
He IS NO COWARD

Accused of ,cowardice as well as
otherwise failing in the performance
of his duties, Policeman Harry W.

emphatically adds that he will hand

the police committee that he Is to
be fined 1--WE days pay for falling to
quell a disturbance in Church street,

ORANGE SEES MOVE FOR
ELEVATION
Surveyors at Work Give Rise
to Rumor.

Surveyors at work along Scotland
street. Orange, yesterday started a
rumor that the long-deferred move
for track elevation on the Lacka-
wanna railroad is near at hand. The
men declined to discuss the reasons
for surveys, but 1t was generally be-
ready for some definite action. The
men spent some time at the curve
where the tracks swing round in
scotland street. AS the company is
understood to have practically all the
and required for the changes in the
route required to make the curve
safer 1t is believed some change Is
contemplated.
1t is some time since negotiations
between the railroad and the off,
Gals of Orange and East Orange
have been held. but there seems to
be an opinion that If the differences
between East Orange and the rail-
road over depression or elevation of
tracks can be settled one way or the
other the problem for Orange viii
speedily be disposed of, as the situ-
alton there lends itself to immediate
solution. in the judgment of many
people.
The casualties and many narrow
escapes at the principal crossings and
the inability to maintain a schedule
on the crosstown trolley line, partly
due to rains standing on the Cone
street crossing. stirred residents of
Orange to urge an end to present
conditions.

LOSES CONTRACT FOR
SCHOOL REPAIRING

The failure of John Kinsey, of Har-

the fence in front of Harrison Public
School No. / resulted last night in
his contract being taken away. This
action was taken at a meeting of the
Harrison Board OF Education. Kin
sey had been warned sometime ago
that unless he started within a cef-
tain time he would lose the contract.
Not only did he fail to start the
work, but he also failed to send any
word to the school board regarding
his intentions. The board last night
awarded the contract to Payne Bros.
of this city, and the fence will ne re-
paired at once. The board recently
paid for having the lawn i'll front of

ORANGE STORES SELLING
MILK FOUND SANITARY

A general inspection of the stores in
Orange where milk is sold at retail
has just been completed. This in
spection covered forty-two establish
ments, and was made to determine
cleanliness and the con1itio mas to
icing of the milk. Such stores are
required TO re licensed, for the
reason that store milk requires
special supervision, the number Of
bacteria in this class of milk being
invariably higher than in any other.
In all but a few instances the milk
is sold in bottles, the method pre-
ferable to the sale of "dip-tank" or
Goose" milk. In two instances In
sufficient icing was discovered, and
notices are to be served on the pro-
prietors. These inspections are made
at regular intervals and printed APP
prevail cards are given those which
reach a high standard by the Orange
health authorities.
