REVIEW OF WORK
y BY UPPER BRANCH
Some Important Measures Passed
Twenty.eight Items in Appro-
priation Bill Passed Over
the Governors Veto.

Many matters OF interest came up
and were disposed of in the senate
last week, among them being the
commission form OF government
bill, the bill exempting aliens from
the primary, the juvenile court
measure and the passing over the
governors veto of % items in the
appropriation bill.
The bill that would take the Office
of commissioner of agriculture, COM
merce and industries out of the ap-
pointive power of the governor and
place it in the primary was again
called up for consideration Wednes-
day night when the senate recon-
vened. The proviso for the present
commissioner to remain in office un-
til the elected commissioner shall
have been qualified was stricken out.
This was done, it is said, on ac-
count of the governors objections.
Through Senator Appel he con-
veyed to the senate the information
that if this provision remained in
the measure he would veto it, and
also promised that if it was killed
that he would retain E. J. Watson
in Office.
The senate adopted the free con-
ference report on the warehouse bill
Thursday night and it was signed
by the governor and is now a part
of the law of the State. This bill
provides that three commissioners
shall be appointed and that they will
establish system of warehouses to
store cotton.
A resolution by Senator Carlisle
was adopted Thursday night to give
the employees of the senate extra
pay for the services rendered during
extra week. The pay of the reading
clerk was also raised from $500 to
|$4OO.
COMMISSION PLAN.
The bill that will allow towns be.
tween 1000 and 10000 inhabitants
to vote on the commission form of
government bill was called up in the
senate Thursday and passed over the
governors veto by q vote of 20 to 4.
This measure had previously been
passed by the house over the objec-
ton of the governor. The You.
man g amendment to the Charleston
commission bill, extending the time
allowed r.registration, is q part of
the law of the State, and it's provi-
sions will govern the primary under
this bill.
The items of the appropriation bill
that the house sent to the senate,
numbering 2S, were all passed over
the governors veto Saturday after
noon and night.
The supply bill was passed after
the adoption of the free conference
report.
The measure that provides for an
election on 81 ,O0O, 900 bond issue
for the erection of buildings for the
State Hospital for the Insane was
passed by the senate after much de-
bate.
The bill that will provide for
juvenile court was passed in the SEN
ate Saturday.
The alien citizenship bill, that will
prohibit other than qualified citizens
participating in the primary, was
passed over the governors veto by
vote of % to 11.-Monday's State.

SWEET CLOVER FOR STOCK.
Sheep and Mules at Least Do Well
NTH Ii as Fodder.

The question has been asked whether
sheep will eat sweet clover. Yes; they
will eat sweet clover and seem to es-
pecially relish the plant both green
and in the hay. The statement has
been made by large sheep raiser that
sheep can be successfully raised on an
entire sweet clover diet. no grain being
on rough land and sheep do we'll on it,
good results can be had by sowing
rough hill land to sweet clover and al
lowing sheep to Craze on it. In this
way you can make your rough land
profitable. As ground does not have
to be plowed for sweet clover it is well
to SOW during the cold weather When
the growing weather comes it will
grow and flourish
Sweet clover would also be fine
plant to grow in sections where mules
are raised 1t has been proved by
actual experience that they, like sheep,
can be raised on sweet clover alone.
This is meant for growing mules, but
the working mules should have some
grain feed
There is one thing noticeable, and
that is stock fed on sweet clover looks
well and when butchered is found to
be nice and fat. Traders like to buy
sweet clover fed animals There must
be a good reason for this.-National
Stockman and Farmer.

it. Kerosene emulsion is the standard
contact spray and should be used
where practical and convenient To-
bacco emulsion will kill them in their
early stages, especially if supplied in
the morning when the bugs are slug
gish and do not get out of the way so
readily.
Earring or brushing the insects off
the plants onto a sticky paper or into
q vessel of some sort is also effeca-
ciouS though the use of an insect net
is even better. A little practice Will
enable one TO sweep the net over the
plants in the early morning and catch
nearly all of the bugs without I'M uring
the plant buds Methods of destruc-
ton after they are in the net will sug-
gest themselves.
Where the bugs are particularly nu-
merous it may be well to use wire
gauZe and screen them out of the
greenhouses. A block of growthy
plants just outside the greenhouse may
also be used to detain the bugs. They

fewer of the pests in the spring.

Do not. throw that spade away. even
if you have split it up the center of
the blade while prying small rocks out
of the ground. 1 would not take it to
the shop and have an inch or two cut
off the bottom either, for that will
make it thick and stubby, and no
amount of grinding will then make it

Just take such a spade to the farm
workshop and with the emery wheel

A SCHOOLGIRLS Ribbon Case.

A pretty case to hold the schoolgirls
hair ribbon is made by covering two
strips of cardboard, eighteen inches
long and six inches wide, first with n
layer of cotton wadding which is
sprinkled with a sweet sachet and then
with Powered silk or cretonne. Whip
the outer covering on with small
stitches and lay the two finished strips
side by side Sew inch wide ribbons
along the edges of the two strips to
serve as n sort of hinge like the back

VALUE OF ORGANIZATION.
How United Effort of a Towns So

cieties Can Boom Home Trade.
The work done by the boards of
trade and other commercial bodies in
the larger cities can be duplicated by
similar organizations in the smaller
cities and towns. This is not a mere
matter of theory, but has been proved
in practice hundreds of times. 1t mat
tiers not what the body is called. 1t is
the purpose, the enthusiasm and the
intelligent work for local betterment
that count. 1t should include business
and professional men and all others in
terested in the community's future
The many services it can render are
INVALUABLE 1t can advertise the
town on any and all occasions. 1t can
decrease local misunderstanding and
differences, allay mere fractional spirit
and harmonic these, at least to the ex-
tent Of uniting for the common good.
In the upbuilding of a town, in hold
ing and increasing home trade in get
ting improved railroad facilities. in
procuring cleaner streets, more slightly
houses and lawns and in the general
effort for town progress all citizens
are interested. These results can best
be brought about through UNITED
AND ORGANIZED ENDEAVOR.
Not only commercial bodies, but Sc
cret societies, social organizations and
even schools, can assist powerfully in
the work. But the board of trade or
similar body under whatever name
called must take the lead and set the
pace. Such an organization, holding
regular weekly, semiweekly or month
ly meetings, with subcommittee to
look after different departments of the
ri xr-frI en- III 10
help the cause along. New industries
can be procured. the surrounding terri
tory can be canvassed for trade, and,
above all, local spirit can be kept alive.
The very fact of the existence of such
a body has a suggestive value Of great
power. Organize for your own town.

dollar spent in your own town is
a dollar saved to the community.
The purchasing power of money
spent around your home is much more
than its purchasing power if spent
away off yonder. 1t buys the respect
of your neighbors and a standing for
yourself as a loyal citizen.
1t is funny to hear a fellow preach
and pirate about town loyalty when he
makes a habit of using the mail order
catalogue as his saleslady or sales
man. Now. isn't that a fact?
Maybe the reason that young friend
of yours resigned his job in the local
store and moved to the big city is that
you have been helping to build up the
city stores at the expense of your local
stores and your young friends sal
airy at home suffered accordingly.
Did it ever occur to you that the com
munity feeling, SO to speak, is the
thing that makes life worth living in
any town? BY the community feeling
is meant, of course, that condition
where neighborS are mutually depend
ent and helpful, one recognizing the
right of the other to be considered first
in any deal rather than an outsider,
and vice versa. And the motto of the
community feeling is this: ''Patronize
home industries"
If the mail order trade. is hurting
your town, and in all proba bility it is
and you know it is, suppose you pause

Tucker should go east and organize a
company to work it. Just before Tuck

his partner to bear the news to his ia

determined to advise her neighbors of

This speech was not long in getting

his sister to go west with him, take
their departure together.
