An Elegant Reception.

Edgefeld has had within her
borders for the past month all
honored son of her soil, and anoth-
er who shares our love and homage.
We thought that everything had
been done that could be done to
manifest our heartfelt appreciation,
and express our love and affection
for our missionaries, MIR. and Mrs.
John Lake, but on Tuesday after
noon, October l, all previous occa-
sions were eclipsed by the delight
full reception rendered them by Gov.
and Mrs. J. g. Sheppard at their
home Oh Columbia street. The
guests of honor were Mr.. and Mrs.
Lake, and the other guests were
the members of all the missionary
societies of all the churches in
Edgeield to the number of about
one hundred, and the pastors and
Sunday school superintendents of
the town and few Others.
A number of Chinese curios were
placed on one of the tables in the
spacious drawing room, and were
tie scens OF greats intarss to 81
who entered.
"A delightful fruit punch was
served to all the gues.s in the rear
of the hall, all who entered having
previously registered, the book be-
ing highly priced by Mr.. and Mrs.
Lake as souvenir of the occasion,
as we'll as containing the real hand
writing of no many of their Edge
field friends. In the dining room
rich ice cream aud true pound cake
and mist were served.
On request Mr.. and Mrs. Lake
sang a hymn in Chinese, and My
Peace" song with organ accompa-
niment, Of his own composition was
sung by Mrs. Lake. Another patri-
otto poem, entitled South Carroll
na'' written by this missionary
poet was read by Hon. J. G. Shep-
pard. The afternoon was one OF un-
alloyed enjoyment. The poems that
were read will be published next
week.

will gladly sell our property, but
it is very valuable for this purpose,
as can be proven, and we wish what
it is worth, as farm land and wa
ter-power property, and if there is
Justice in this land land we have
confidence there is) we will get it.
Water-powers are worth millions of
dollars, there are many in the Uni
ted States, and the facts are abun-
dant to prove their value, and no
man shall decide what these lands
are worth tc us until he investigate
the facts. The builders and promo
ters of these Powers make millions
out of them as the facts show. Let
no jury sit in iudgm ent until he
gets the facts, the true value of
such property, let them insist on
taking the time to get the facts.
This entire side of the county
should be enriched by this property.
Will it be? 1t may become a mat
ter for Edgefeld men to decide.
The Southern people welcome
Northern men with their capital, or
men with capital from anywhere, to
buy our properties so long fought
and struggled for, at what the prop
critics are worth. But we should
get what they are worth, or We will
still further improve it ourselves.
When those men come here we in
sist that they act honorably and
honestly with us. that they do not
intimidate women and children to
despoil them of their property and
that they do not use our laws to
oppress aud deupoil our citizens by
the power of their money.
Respectfully,
Justice.

When to .SubsoiZ and How

What is the cheapest way to sub
soil lard, and when should it be
done? If you advise using a plow,
what is the best subsoil plow on
the market?
Probably the cheapest way to
subsoil land is by running subsoil
plow behind an ordinary turning
plow. The man who grows alfalfa,
or other deep rooted plants, may
claim that he has in these plants
the cheapest method of subsoiIing,
while the dynamite manufacturers
will claim that they have, at least,
the best method.
1t is doubtful if any way, except
with deep-rooted crops, is cheap
enough to pay as a general farm
proposition. In a general system of
land Improvement, however, it may
pay to subsoil once in four or five
years; but this will depend largely
on the judgment with which it 5
done.
We have greater faith in leep
plowing than in subsoiling, espe-
cially when some vegetable matter
is turned into the soil by the deep
blowing.
Much is often said about the fail
ure of subsoiling to do good, or in
some cases doing actual harm;
about turning up too much raw soil
and thereby running the land for a
year or two; and about the turning
under of green crops souring the
land; but my observation is that
when n results occur, the man
ner or condition in which the work
is done is usually responsible for
these results. In fact, while have
always heard that the blowing un.
de- Of green crops would sour the

Formal Opening Exercises.
Meriwether, S. G.

Probably the most beautiful,
most eloquent and most effective
address ever heard in Edgefeld was
that delivered by DR.. G. E. Burts
in the college auditorium Monday
evening. the occasion being the for
,mal opening of the session ofsl9Is-;
as Of tho S. q. e: 7. Besides the
faculty and the large student body,
a goodly number of people from
the town were present to hear DR..
Burts, who is universally and sin
cerely beloved in Edgefeld.
DR.. Burts' theme was, The
standard life," urging his youthful
hearers to lead such lives as the
community needed, such lives as
the community had a right 10 e1-
pect them to lead. He stressed the
idea of a strong, we'll developed
body az the first step toward lead
ing the standard life, giving en-
phasis also to faith in God and
man as a requisite of such life.
DR.. Burts spoke too of the part the
development of the intellect plays
in living standard life. speaking
also of the need for a broad sympa-
thy for all mankind. After referring
to courage as one of the requisites,
the speaker reverted to faith in God
as the greatest need in ones efforts
20 lead standard life. Some of the
strongest points in the very admira-
bic address were rendered more
effective by using illustrations and
relating incidents from his own ex-
perience that were apropos.
At the conclusion OF DR.. Burts'
address, President Bailey called up.
on Gov. Sheppard, the chairman of
the board of trustees, to make some
remarks. Like the speaker who pre-
ceded him, Gov. Sheppard was at
his best, which caused what he said
to elicit much favorable comment.
He spoke briefly of the application
of the Golden Rule to student life,
his words being eloquent and time
ly. In concluding Gov. Sheppard,
az has been his wont for several
years, offered gold medal to be
awarded at the close of the session
to the member of ibe freshman
class who makes the most improve
msnt in oratory during the session.
President Bailey is greatly elated
over the bright outlook for the ses-
sion which has just closed. The dor
mitories are filled with boarding
students and the patronage of the
day pupils is larger than ever be-
fore in the the history of the insti-
tuition.

land and have seen it done all my
life, l have yet to see the much
talked-of injury to the land by
souring from this cause. / wish a
lot more south, rn soils had a chance
to get sour from this cause. l am
certain we should have more pro-
ductive soils, to say the least, even
if we had to use a little more lime,
which should be done any way.
But when should the subsoiling
be done? When the subsoil is dry
so dry that it will crumble. This
will usually be in the fall. In fact,
| have never seen the subsoil dry
enough to plow at any other sea-
son.
would prefer to do my subsoil-
ing by turning under good crop
of legumes or some other humus-
forming material, with plow, like
the Spalding deep tiling machine,
for instance, or with a good disk
plow that will go eight or ten inch
es deep, and if this is done in the
fall, Or any time before January
first, there is no danger Of injury
to the land by turning up too much
raw soil.
| do not know the best subsoil
plow on the market" l do not be-
lieve there is any best subsoil plow,
any more than I believe there is a
best breed of hogs or best breed
of dairy cattle.
Any of the subsoil plows made
by the implement manufacturers
who advertise in The Progressive
Farmer will do satisfactory work if
the soil is in the right condition, if
sufficient team force is attached and
if judgment is used by the plow-
man.-Progressive Farmer.

ACCUSES NEW YORK POLICE
COMMISSIONER.
REGULATION is SCORED
Mayor Gaynors Alleged Policy q
Watching Vice Critieized--0s- .
cIares Has Not Mis-
stated Facts.

New York, Sept. 9.--Whether Police
Commissioner Waldo gave general
instructions" to suppress disorderly
houses and private verbal orders to
all Of them as long as conditions Of
outward decency" were observed, BE-
came the question at issue when Cor
nelius G. Hayes, suspended inspector
was placed on trial before Deputy
Police Commissioner Douglas l. Nc.
Kay, on the charge of making false
statement in regard to his police
duties.
While Hayes ostensibly was the dc.
PENDANT. Thomas D. Thatcher. Hayes
counsel, virtually transformed the
trial into probe of the police depart.
ment, and an arrangement Of the pol.
icy of Mayor Gaynor toward the reg
ulation of vice.
The attorney grilled Commissioner
Waldo in an effort to show that "out.
ward decency" was the criterion by
which the mayor wished the question
of vice suppression to be determined,
and then put Hayes on the stand to
prove that the commissioner had
given the inspector verbal orders in
pursuance of this policy and had not
countermanded them until they had
become public. 3
Denies False Statement.
Hayes emphatically denied that he
had made false statement when he
told the commissioner the latter had
ordered him not to make raids on dis
orderly houses except on the commits
0ionefs instructions. In accordance
with these instructions he had made
no raids, he said, since February. al.
though previously he had made many
and had Cleaned out the inspection
district" TF5. .75 Is af Tr-
1t was on August 8, or about the
time when the scandals growing out
Of the Rosenthal case were being
aired that Commissioner Waldo, accord
ing to the witness, threatened to fire
him" for stating that he had received
such orders. This he threatened to do
on two subsequent occasions, Hayes
testified. but it was not until August
16, the day of the publication Of an
interview from AN inspector" who
was quoted as saying he had received
such orders from The onmmissioner.

01eats by suspending him and demot-

M'NAMARA PARDON ASKED FOR
FREMONT OLDER AND LINCOLN
STEFFENS BACK OF MOVE.
Says Business Men Of Los Angeles
Have Broken Faith With
Unionisrn.

Los Angeles, Sept 9.-Lincoln Stef-
fens says the business men of Los An
geles have broken faith with unionism
and violated a pledge given when the
McNamaras pleaded guilty to dynamit-
ing the Times, by which twenty-one
men were killed, and that, therefore,
. petition has been presented to Gov
ernor Hiram w. Johnson. asking for
the pardon Of the McNamaras.
According to the statement of Stef-
fens, issued in Portland, the business
men of Los Angeles agreed to give
union labor a fair chance in Los An
geles If the McNamaras would plead
guilty. This, he declares, has not been
done. Thereupon the movement
which has been under way for several
months, according to labor leaders
here, has come to a head.
Back of the movement are Steffens,
Fremont Older. the San Francisco
editor, and one Of the closest friends
of Governor Johnson, and e. r. Earl.
leader Of Governor Johnson's party in
the southern part Of the state Sup
porting them are the labor men in the
state.
Reports that organized labor will
send petition to Governor johnson
were received with incredulity here
when 1t was. rumored few days ago.
But from authoritative sources it ia
learned that the petition already has
several thousand names. With the
original report then scoffed at and
now proved true, was the statement
that Governor Johnson had promised
to show all clemency possible to
the McNamaras. 1t is said the same
olemency shown Abe Ruef will be ex.
tended to the McNamaras.
Steffens' who claims to have been
instrumental in bringing about the
confession of the McNamaras, de.
clares he has authority for his state.
ment that the McNamaras will be par.
doned and his statement is corrobo
rated by labor leaders here. b.

CHICAGO. September 6-The proposed
subway system for Chicago as now plan
ned will cost $50. 100000. No plan for
financing the project has been decided on
as yet. but the system of routing was
practically agreed upon yesterday at a

Figures were shown the aldermen by
the members of the subway commission
whereby the work could be completed for
the above amount with five arms to the
tunnel instead Of three, as heretofore pro-
posed.
The original plan was for lines directly
south, west and north from the downtown
district. The new arms would add lines
northwest and southwest.
