BENZ. R. TILLMAN SCARED
SENIOR SENATOR POINTS OUT
DANGER OF SECOND PARTY.
Writes State Chairman Evans His
Views on the Present Elec-
ton Situation.

Columbia, Sept. 3.-Senator Till
man to-day addressed the following
letter to State Chairman John Gary
Evans: Il enclose you letter which
came in to-day's mail from a man
whom I do not know, but whom you
may know. 1 do not understand
what he means by the facts concern
ing our State primary two years ago
between Featherstone and Blease,
but 1 do understand what he says
of the contest against Blease's re-
nomination. You already know what
my ideas are on the subject. If
fraud has been practiced anywhere it
ought to be ferreted out relentlessly
and the guilty parties punished in the
courts.
"My advice to the State executive
committee is to 60 slow and be sure
that they can prove that Blease's
friends stuffed the ballot boxes be-
fore they declare him not the nomi-
nee of the party. If there is any
suspicion that there is an effort to
rob him of the governors office be-
cause of partisanship, then he will
run as an Independent in November
and we would have two white fac
tions contesting for the negro vote,
with the corporations all lined up
and an amount of money for him to
control as many negroes as neces-
sary. But he would not need money,
for the people would put him in Office
if there is even suspicion of unfair
ness. So, I beg you to go very slow
and be sure of your ground before
you take any such steps as that.
after the battle has cleared away
and we know where we are, we must
take counsel together to prevent a
repetition Of this trouble and save
the primary. The primary is our ark
of safety against negro domination.
The object now should be to make
the primary command the confidence
and support of all the white people.
If Roosevelt could get his paw on
South Carolina under the conditions
which seem to threaten US, he has
millions of dollars at his command
and Blease would not lack money
if he did get it from other sources y

fight which followed a controversy
over a slice of ham, Jackson Fryer,
Al years old, of Coatesville, was shot,

JUDGE r. E. COPEs TO RESIGN.
Successor of Late Charles G. Dantzler
to Quit Bench.

Orangeburg, Aug. 30.-It was with
much surprise that this community
received this morning confirmation
Of the report of the intended resig-
nation of Judge Robert E. Copes as
judge of the 1st judicial circuit OF
the State. The rumor having become
current, Judge Copes was interviewed
by the correspondent of the News and
Courier this morning. Judge Copes
stated that he had decided to resign
and would tender his resignation
some time before the fall term of
court.
Judge Copes was elected to the
bench in January, 1911, to fill the ur-
expired term Of the late lamented
Charles G. Dantzler, and soon after
qualified; he has since filed the high
office with satisfaction to the State.
No reason has been given by Judge
Copes for this decision on his part,
but it is understood that he will en-
ter upon the active practice Of his
profession of the law as soon as he is
relieved of his official duties.
The Hon. John S. Bowman, an at
torney of this bar and at present a
member of the house of representa-
tives, has been spoken of as prob
able candidate for the Office to be va
Gated by Judge COpeS.

The State Election.

The result of the recent primary is
still in doubt, as there were so many
more votes counted than usual that
the State executive committee did
not declare the result last Friday,

gate the matter and get at an hon
est result. Tuesday Judge Jones's s

Joliet, ILL.,, Aug. 29.-Led by dog
a searching party found the body OF
Dominick Gergrave, a Coal City min
er, under a culvert several miles from
his home last night. He had been
missing five days. When he left
home he told his wife he was going
hunting. Daily searches were made
of the surrounding country by friends
but no trace of him could be found
until his dog, which had accompanied
his master, returned and guided the
party to the bridge where the BODY

We honestly believe that Judge
Jones was elected governor of the
State last Tuesday by majority of
at least fifteen thousand, and that
the ballot boxes in many places were
stuffed to defeat him. There should

Farming By Factory Methods

There are machines now in the
market which will perform almost
every farm operation. They reduce
the cost of production just as modern
machines do in factories. How to buy
and manage machinery is vital SUBJ
ject. Most farm machines are sent
to the scrap-heap in five years, when
they should last ten. We have
series of articles on the right machine
and how to use it, contributed by men
expert with the various tools and their
uses. The modern machinery of plow-
ing, planting, cultivating, harvesting,
road building, spraying, irrigating,
dry-farming, will be explained.

The "2OO-Egg Hen and
Her Sister

The 200-egg hen is an actuality-not
a dream. She exists. But more impor-
tant to the average poultry-keeper is
the average hen. The whole flock can't
produce 200 eggs per hen, but its pro-
duction almost always can be greatly
increased. On many a small place
the poultry can be made the big asset,
instead of side issue. We have many
articles by men and women who get
results. They tell the details of breed
ing, housing, feeding, killing and get
ting to market.

making Of poor hay.
I am more interested in giving in
formation to the man who buys and
feeds than to the man who grows, for
I am persuaded that when the buyer
knows what to demand, the grower
will be ready and willing to deliver
the goods, with better results and far
more pleasant relations between all
concerned.
Under the present method of hay
making I find that we will get four
full cuttings in a season as against
three under the old method of hay
making, but [ don't think that the
yield in tons will be any more than
from the three cuttings of more ma
-ture alfalfa by the former method.
Thus increasing in a marked degree
the cost of production per ton. But
as ton of hay as we are now making
it is worth two or more tons of that
by the former process it will be Highly
profitable to the buyer to pay the
extra cost, especially if he be dairy
man.

Perhaps, in conclusion | should say
a little in regard to the color of hay.
SO many say I want bright green
alfalfa. From my own experience l
would say that while hay should have
a good color, the brightest colored hay
possible might be the most deficient
in other respects. To get real bright
hay it is necessary to get it into the
stack the third or fourth day, and it
is impossible to sufficiently cure the
hay in that time without sacrificing
quality, and without considerable loss
of leaf. If you want rich, mellow
hay, it must be cured slowly and
evenly from the start, and to do this,
it must be shocked as soon as possible
after moving and then cureed for
several days in the shock, perhaps at
least week; this is bound to result
in the outside of the shock bleaching

MY EXPERIENCE AND 0BSERVA-
TONS WITH ALFALFA HAY.
Continued from page y

without any grain and eating about
half as much as usual. And with the
COW, besides furnishing milk
absolutely free from any alfalfa flavor,
it also greatly increased the yield.
She didn' t want to quit milking for
calving time. | am firmly convinc-
ed that hay like IA great many other
things must not be hurried in curing.
Take a plank out of geen tree :;
you can season it thoroughly in day
or two in dry kiln, but it's life is
gone If you want to cure that plank
and have it retain all the strength and
durability possible it is necessary to
either season it in water, or away
from sun and wind. In the hot sun
of this Valley even a square timber
laying out in the sun will twist and
warp all out of shape.
The wood that goes into the making
of the better grades of musical in
struments, is seasoned slowly and
thoroughly for long time. And
so it seems to be with hay, if you
want the best you must give due time
to the slow curing of it. If it is left
to grow too mature. it not only turns
from starch and sugar in the stems to
wood but it tends to cure too rapidly
when cut. Ii the stem Of the leaves
dry to soon the leaves can no longer
pump the excess moisture out
of the stems which should keep them
soft and pliable and they wither up
and fall off in the handling, those
being retained also seeming to lack
mellowness and quality, the stem dry
ing hard and generally imparting
strong flavor to the milk when fed
as ration to dairy COWS. l know of
no better way of illustrating what
should take place between the stalk
and leaf of an alfalfa plant in curing
than to refer to the curing of wheat
for hay. When wheat is in the dough
it is the best for hay, just as the
heads are turning yellow, you would
notice that just beneath the head on
a stalk of wheat the stem is very
small now when it is cut for hay if
that small stem is allowed to dry
within the space of a short time the
grains of wheat in the head will
shrivel up into little hard wrinkled
things that have practically no feed
value; on the other hand if you cause
that wheat to cure slowly by i'm
mediately putting it in shock the
grains in the head will fill out nicely
by taking what it needs to ripen out
of the stalk making a fine mellow feed
out of both itself and stalk. 1t seems
that if this process does not take place
in curing that the quality of the whole
thing is destroyed. And as near as |
can determine this principle applies
to all hays, and great many other
things besides. To be more explicit
] believe that there is a mellowing
process takes place that changes the
nature of the whole plant and fits it
for the highest utility as food and
that if this is interfered with just in
such degree is the resulting hay ruin
ed for feed That in the making of
alfalfa hay if the communication be-
tween the leaf and stalk is not kept
up during the entire process Of cur
ing, both leaf and stalk are not what

some in the stack, but the chances
are that it will never be as bright as
that of hay unduly rushed into the
stack.
