Blease Denies i'm Message.
Columbia, Jan. 12.-Rising to a
question Of personal privilege just be-
fore the adjournment OF the morning
session Of the house yesterday, ]. Ar
chic Willis, .he youthful representa-
tive from Laurens county, delivered a
dignified address in defense of his
reputation as former proprietor and
editor Of the Belton Times, which the
governor of South Carolina attacked
in his special veto message to the
house on the libel act Wednesday.
The house heard Mr.. Willis to an
end in silence. except for frequent in
terruptiona by w. w. Dixon Of Winns-
boro, who demanded that Mr.. Willis
be declared out Of order. Speaker
Smith ruled that Mr.. Willis was in
order, and Mr.. Dixon appealed from
the ruling to the chair. The house
sustained the ruling Of the speaker.
Mr.. Dixons Interruptions became
so frequent that Speaker Smith in.
formed him that unless he took his
seat the sergeant alarms would be
instructed to make him keep order.
Mr.. Dixon sat down. When Mr.. Will
lis had finished the dicussion Of his
question Of personal privilege, Mr..
Dixon tried to open a debate, but was
uled out Of order by the speaker.
There was no action that the house
could take on Mr.. Willis question of
personal privilege. but it heard him
attentively.
Mr.. Speaker: I rise to a question
Of personal privilege, and despite the
fact that 1 hold in my hand a letter
from the Black Hand Of South Caro-
lima, as the writer or writer's are
pleased to term themselves, warning
me that II again pay my respects to
the governor Of South Carolina, I
shall be killed in short order, 1 want
to take this opportunity of defending
myself against the uncalled for attack
OF his excellency in a special message
yesterday, when he took occasion to
call me liar, to which was added
certain adjectives peculiarly all the
governors own.
South Carolina is calling today for
some one, to speak out in defense of
her fair name. and protest against the
unparalleled degradation that is be-
ing heaped upon her by the man who
occupies the chief executives Office,
and, cost me what 1t may, 1 am here
to answer that call. And I thank Cos
that 1t is to you that am to have
the privilege Of appealing.
Before go further, however, 1
want to settle the matter of the ticket
incident at Bolton. The governor has
made the charge to you that 1 lied
when I published the account Of his
alleged incivility to the young lady
ticket agent, and he has produced a
letter signed by her. which, on the
face OF it, seems to substantiate his
claim. When once you understand
now he secu ID the letter, though,
you Will understand little better the
cowardly, underhand methods to
which the governor will resort. when
occasion demands.

While the se-planted crops are

crops, 1t has been found that under
certain conditions and with. the exer-
else Of proper Judgment, they may be
profitablyt cultivated: This statement
applies to; the small grains; to alfal-
"a and even to, grasses and clover.
Regarding the cultivation of thickly
spaced crops there are many practical
difficulties to surmount. One of the
most Important of these is the secur-
ing of machinery best adapted to the
work. Regarding this, three main
points are to be considered. 81 4S
j Ease of draft ana amount Of
ground to be covered; (2) Eficien-
cy Of the dirt mulch, and (3) Tie

cultivate the growing grain do not
leave a test plat for comparison. They
cultivate their entire field, and then
judge whether cultivation has helped
any, by comparing it with their neigh
boris grain which probably was sown
under entirely different conditions.
Or again perhaps the farmer cultivat-
ing the grain upon his fall plowed land,
leaves the grain upon the spring plow-
ed land uncultiyated, and then comes
10 the decision that cultivating grain
lessons the yield. The farmer who is
to make a test of narrowing the grow
ing grain should give the two pieces
of land exactly the same treatment
except for the one point-the cultiva-
ton of the growing grain. If he gets
a larger yield from the cultivated piece

clude that the increase was due to-
cultivation. VI si$s i,z.E.s5.. 1, ~

Alfalfa is the king among hay crops,
