There has arrivediin Charles
ton twenty three car loads of
horses for the coming races in
that city, just how the races are
to be conducted has not as yet
been made public, but under the
law there can be no book making
or other forms Of betting, and a
horse race without betting we
imagine would be a very insipid
affair. There will be an effort
made to get the legislature to
extend the time limit fixed in the
Act of last year, if this is refus-
ed then the racing proposition
in Charleston will be knocked
into a cooked hat. Our view of
this matter is that the races are
Of local interest entirely and if
the people of Charleston desire
to have them it is their concern,
and it should be left to the local
officers to manage. There is not
a fair anywhere in this State but
what there is horse racing and
we hear of no complaints about
it, then why should Charleston
be selected for interference?

the repeal OF section 1869 of the Code OF
1902, commonly known as the lien law,
that landlord has lien for both rent
and advances made during the year
without any writing. Major John G.
Richards, Railroad Commissioner, who
was the author of the Act of 1909 which
repealed section 3059 OF the Code of 1902,
and who agrees with me that lanlord
under existing law has prior lien for
advances made during the year without
any writing, has addressed letter to
me upon the subject in the following
words, to wit: ~ was the author OF the
repeal bill-my purpose briefly stated
was TO place the land owners where they
could control their labor and wrest that
control from the hands of the merchants
my purpose was also to aid our farm
ers to get upon cash basis-I did not
disturb existing conditions in regard to
farmers and landlords lien for supplies
or rent"
Now. Mr. Editor, it is up to the mem
bers of the legislature from this county
to look into this matter, and if the
aforesaid decision of the Magistrate is
correct as matter of law, then the law
should be amended and it made crime
for misdemeapor for a butt-meat mer-
chant TO purchase or take mortgage

the consent of the farmer or landlord.

The agitation for compulsory
education is bringing out some
strong arguments in favor of
such legislation, even grand
inries have given the matter
their, attention, and it would not
surprise us if the general assem-
bly, at some near future session
give this matter serious thought.
There is no doubt of the need of
the future citizenship being edu-
Gated, everybody comedies this,
but the only draw back is the
expense of forcing children. into
the schools regardless of race.
However as long as the institu
tions of higher learning are per-
mitted to be such a heavy drain
upon the public treasury the
preparatory schools cannot get
enough money to increase the
attendance, at the same time pay
the teachers a sufficient salary
to induce them to make teaching
a life time profession.

usually short. but prices have been
good. and I believe at the end OF the

have gained more than a peg in advance
OF last year, and this is something to be
happy over.
The Summerton school district has
made an experiment this year by elect

this is IS it should be, for the reason
that Miss Scarborough is thoroughly

The State in it's Mondays issue
throws a broad side into the
powers of executives as given by
the State constitutions, and it
would have the pardoning power
taken away from the governors.
Of course, a reading of it's editor

it's reason for, wishing ;constitu.

cannot exercise the pardoning

The election Of Hon. John l..

whenever it is offered for the

for some practical legislation for

FARM CROPS

Stable Manure Supplies Many Plan:
Food Elements and Adds Humus' tc
the Soil-Calcium Should be Ap.
piled
Howard Eldridge, Porterville, New
York, writes as follows: Il am a far
mer living in Erie county, New York.
The soil raises very good crops in
everything excepting wheat and oats.
The average yield of this grain for the
past few years has been fifteen or
twenty bushels to the acre, as COM
pared to fifty bushels to an acre few
years ago. How can this land be i'm
proved?"
The principal plant food elements
are nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium,
and calcium. These are necessary for
the production Of crops. If any one
of these elements is deficient, it will
mean that the crop production will be
lessened. Continuous cropping with
out rotation, combined with poor cul-
tiyation, is bound to result in de-
creased yields.
The nitrogen can be replenished by
growing leguminous crops, such ss
clovers, cowpeas, soy beans, vetches,
etc. Also, by applying stable manure,
or plowing under a legume as a green
manuring crop. By doing this you
not only supply nitrogen to your soil,
but you improve it's physical condition
by adding vegetable matter.
Very few soils require potassium.
This is especially so of sandy soils,
although if the soil is not in good
physical condition, the potassium may
not be available, but if you supply the
matter either in the form OF
green manure or stable manure, it Will
tend to make the potassium available.
1t may be necessary to supply .phos-
phorus in the form OF q commercial
fertilizer, which may be done by using |
finely ground phosphate rock, provid-
ing the soil is in the proper physical
condition. The phosphate rock will !
cost you only about half as much and
