A WARNING TO FARMERS.
Mr.. II. [. Manning Shows the Farm
crs Why They Should not PIow
When the Ground is Wet.

The following letter from Mr.. r.
l. Manning will be read with interest
by the farmers of Sumter and other
counties who are anxious to get their
farm work under way despite the
frequent rains and the wet condition
Of the grounds:
Editor Daily Item:
"a very unusual season is on us;
the long continued and heavy rains
have saturated the soil, and this con-
dition has prevented preparation for
the coming crop. No plowing or
land breaking has been done and it is
now past the middle of March. Farm
ers are eager and impatient to begin
plowing. All farmers Of observation
and experience. however, realize the
lasting and great injury to land and
to the coming crop from plowing The
land wet. 1t is an injury that cannot
be corrected or overcome in one sea-
son. Notwithstanding the lateness of
the season and the further delay in
plowing I cannot too strongly warn
farmers against plowing till the soil
is dry enough to pulverize when
plOwed.
Better be late than to injure the
land by wet blowing. Do not let i'm
patience lead our farmers 10 plow
wet. \ few days wind may dry off
still be too wet, and blowing would
do irreparable harm. I urge and
warn farmers of this county and #
the State against this mistake.

DECLARES CANAL
TREATY VOIDABLE
Taylor Says Ceding of Canal
Zone to United States
Settled Matter.

Washington, D. c., July 24.-Hannis
Taylor, former minister to Spain and
a writer on international law pub
lished an open letter here today con-
tending that the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty is voidable because of the stu
alton arising out OF Panama's ceding
There is 70 IoCIr fer hair splitting
on that port" writes Mr.. Taylor
within the canal zone the United
States is sovereign for purposes Of
international law. Under the law II
is well settled that treaty becomes
voidable, not void, whenever a change
has taken place in the fundamental
conditions existing at the time it was
made"
The writer quotes Hall. the English
authority on international law, in sup
port of that contention
Mr. Taylor refers to Russia's re-
pudiation in 1870 in certain portions
OF the treaty of Paris. relating to the
Black Sea and contends it set prece-
dent upon which the United States
may act.
IN conclusion the writer contends in
part:
the well defined principle of the inter
national law as promulgated by the
Russian precedent of 1870 that after
there has been an essential change IN
the conditions existing at the time the
treaty was made, it becomes voidable
In that way we can justly lift the
question out of the domain of the
international arbitration where we
could never obtain fair hearing, IN
to the domain Of diplomatic negotla-
tions with Great Britain, where We
will be sure to receive fair and friend
" consideration"

and the rebel troops He said there
had been no demands made and en-
forced which were not reasonable and
that he did not expect any further
trouble there.
D. D. Farnsworth, of Colonia Dublan,
arrived Tuesday night with the report
that things were quiet there, Mr.. Wins
said, and no further trouble is antici-
pated in that colony. Mr.. WINS says
the rebel officers have kept a close
check On their men and that while the
claims of the cOlonists would be pre-
scented to the Mexican government
later, he was satisfied with the con-
dition of affairs as it existed at the
present time in relation to the Mormon
colonists.
