Dangerous Riding.-With the COM
ing Of spring, it is said, those who owr
motor cars in a certain section OF
Massachusetts operate them with
considerably less speed, not, how
ever, always because Of the county
ordinances or out of consideration fol
their fellow citizens safety.
On one occasion two motorists
were crawling up a highway where
lately friend (then riding with one
of them) knew they had formerly
gone at top speed. The friend asked
why the car was run so slowly.

car with perfect naivete, "everybody's
carrying home garden tools now, and

STATE POLITICS.
What Some of the Papers Are Saying
of Mondays Conventions.
Manning Times

The county conventions through
out the state with but few exceptions,
were evidently gotten together by
the still hunt method. Jones' friends
will dominate the state convention by
a large majority, and they will prob
ably prevent the election Of Cover
nor Blease as a delegate to the ma
tional convention. Should they do
this and we think they will, from
that time on there will be no further
need to pursue the still hunt method
on the part Of either faction as every
voter who intends to vote in the COM
ing primary. will be on the alert. We
think factionalism unfortunate at
any time, and. had hoped 1t could
have been avoided, but it seems it had
to come and each faction will be dis
trustful of the other because neither
side is asking any quarter.

(Sumter Item.)

Gov. Blease says he is not worrying
over the results Of the county conven-
tions, but it can be read between the
lines that he is giving the matter
considerable thought and has plaus-
ible explanation Of how it happened,
ready for anxious inquirers.

The atmosphere resounds with ru-
mors Of a combination entered into
here at the convention Monday, and
the public makes inquiry as to its
meaning.

quency, of course, that 1t Is at the pri-
maries and not at the party conven-
tions that candidates for public office
are elected This Is true. 1t Is a
fact which we can we'll afford to
bear in mind. Nevertheless, the re-
suits Of the county conventions held
in South Carolina on Monday are very
heartening. Here and there is coun-
ty where the hold Of Governor Blease
appears still to be strong, but taking
the state generally the sentiment
against him as recorded was even
more overwhelming than had been
anticipated. The state convention
next week will be in the complete
control Of those against whom he
has chosen to array himself in unre-
lenting political warfare. That this
will be a severe disappointment to him
he will not be able to disguise. There
Is every reason to believe, and the
public will so judge, that the county
conventions were fairly representa-
tive of the political sentiment Of the
state. At the first opportunity which
the people have had to express them
selves since Governor Blease's inau-
guration, they have confirmed nobly
the verdict given by their represen-
tatives in the general assembly. We
are not out of the political woods
yet, but daylight is ahead.

(Spartanburg Herald.)

(Spartanburg Herald.)
The Blease sympathizers, pulling
themselves together after the storm
of protest against Blease that swept
the state Monday, emerge from the
debris of their hopes to remark, as
they have remarked before, 1t all
means the glorification Of Blease in
the end. Hear the Spartanburg Jour-
nal:
supporters of Governor Blease
state that If they had been running
the county convention, held here yes
terday, and had been seeking to aid
the governor in the approaching cam
paign, they would have done exactly
the things that were done. 1t was a
beautiful victory over Bleaseism in
this county, but one secured by poor
political methods, and one that is
bound to react"
And again over in Anderson coun-
ty, where the Blease people thought
they had things 'in the sling" but
found they had reckoned without
their host The Anderson 1ntelli-
gencer cries out:
1.-The county convention has met
and adjourned and Anderson county
must hang her head in shame as re-
suit of the political trickery which was
yesterday enacted in the court house.
1t is hard to estimate the number of
voters who have come to Governor
Blease as a result Of the procedure
on the part of friends of Judge Jones,
but from every part Of the county
men are coming forward with the
statement that they will not stand for
any such action, and, it will be shown
that the voters of this county will not
stand for other than clean politics,
and where every man can vote for the
candidate of his choice"
1t is the same old balm the Blease
people have been applying to their
wounds. When the legislature, in its
wisdom and patriotism, stood firm
against Bleaseism, they raised the
uOWl- IL lllS bCol lhiA6 eii1S WV
happened for Blease!" Now, If they
will be as considerate and acknowl-
edge, when he is defeated next Au-
gust, that it is the best thing that
ever happened to Blease-to get him
out of high office where he misrepre-
sents a self-respecting commonwealth
we will agree with them.
There was no political trickery in
the Spartanburg convention. 1t was
a Jones convention" by a big ma
jority and it was not incumbent upon
it TO show the Blease people any
more consideration than they would
have shown the Jones people had
they been in the majority. 1t is all
in the game, and If you can't take
your medicine without whining about
it, don't play the game. If you can't
stand the gaff. don't get in the pit.

tract for extending the Guadalajara division of the Southern Pacific Railroad of Mexico from Mazda lena to La Quemada, a distance of about nine kilometers, has been awarded to the Sombrerete Con- struction Co.,, and work was com menced this week. F. w. John stone, of Mexico City, is president of the company; w. w. Penny is vice president and manager, and John Hanson is superintendent. It is expected to employ at least 300 men in the work, and to complete the contract before the opening of the rainy season.
 Mexican Herald: President Madero said in his Message to Con. gress on lst inst that the question of the establishment of postal say. inas banks in Mexico is being studied by a commission and he expressed the belief that when established they will prove of incal- cubic benefit to the humber classes. There is no doubt as to the correct ness of this view. The accumulation of popular savings will be an anti dote to revolution.

 Mexican Herald: The Union Church was packed to its utmost capacity yesterday morning at II o'clock on the occasion of the Baccalaureate sermon which was delivered to the graduating class Of the American high school by Rev.

 Guadalajara Times: A decree calling ar election for governor was issued by the state legislature last Monday. The date set for the election is Sunday, June g, and it is specified that the new governor shall take office July 1, to serve out the unexpired term of four years dating from March 1, 1911. Ma nuel Cuesta Gallardo assumed of. flee on that date. The action of the legislature has aroused great interest and some strong criticism. On Wednesday Gov. Robles Gil sent note to the legislature pro- testing against the calling of the election. He cited the fact that the country is in a disturbed con- dition, and that while Jalisco has been enjoying comparative quiet, an election might result in serious disturbances. He said he saw no necessity of calling an election at this time, as the state was now entirely independent of the federal government, the legislature, after it's organization, having named him as provisional governor. Part isans of Governor Robles Gil plan ned a demonstration against the action of the legislature this week, but later abandoned it. Now they are said to be raising big fund with the object of making strong campaign for the election of the provisional governor as constitu- tional governor. The Partido Ca tolico triumphed in the election for members of the state legislature, and the majority of the body are strong party men. The claim is made that partisans of Robles Gil have been quietly campaigning for him, and have enlisted the aid of state officials in his behalf. This is given as a reasons for calling the election at this time.

Breeding corn today has for its OBJ
Ject more than the development OF an
increase In yield. 1t has been clearly
proven that by proper selection. va
rieties of corn can be secured which
have feeding value far above the
ordinary kind grown. This means an
increase in oil content and more es-
pecially an increase in protein.
1t Is possible and highly probable
that in the future when corn will be
more largely used for commercial pur-
poses than at present, sales will be
made on the basis Of protein content,
Just as milk is sold today on the basis
of fat content.
In fact, some Of the large glucose
factories have already adopted this
plan. 1t is evidently unfair to the
man who produces corn with II per
cent. protein to receive no more than
the man who markets an s per cent.

There has been much misunder-
standing in regard to the Importance
of coloring matter in corn. Some
farmers hold that yellow corn is the
better feed, others maintaining the
opposite. But in the light of recent
Investigations, these theories do not
hold water.
OF course a yellow corn may be de-
veloped in feeding value above one OF
