occurred at the ginnery of T.. B. Boy
kin Wednesday afternoon. The young
man was passing near a pulley which
had piece broken out and in stoop-

from the ground he was caught in this
pulley which in a second tore a great
hole in his back. His back bone was
cut in two while his kidneys and part
of one lung were torn out. Medical
aid was quickly summoned but it was
seen that there was no hope for his
life. The accident occurred at about
o'clock in the afternoon and he
lived until o'clock the same night
and was entirely conscious to the end.
The young man was a brother Of Mad

open. State fairs in the past have
been gala events and occasions for
making MERRY. and SO too will this

ent exposition--for such IL Is on a
small sca'e--a serious purpose. Ex-
hibits have been gathered with the
economic spirit OF the times. Some
idea OF South Cardinals resources is
TO be gained; OF resources that have
never been developed. 1t In the con-
viction OF fair officials that some idea
OF the States resources must be
gained. for economists are now point
ing out that the real cause Of the
high cost of living is the failure of
supplies TO meet the demands.
To this end the most comprehen-
sive exhibit that the State department
OF agriculture. commerce and indus
tries has ever made has been gather
ed together In q building OF its own at
the fair and will be made permanent
for the benefit of winter tourists who
come from sections Of more or less
exhausted resources.
All trains arriving in Columbia
yesterday brought many visitors as
the advance guards Of the thousands
that are to come later In the week.
The hotels reported many arrivals
last night. 1t was also stated by the
managers that many rooms were yet
vacant. The information bureau for
the fair Ia located In the city hall and
several hundred rooms have been list

SUMMERiON PROBLEMS.

tASIlcNlIIC.
Summerton, Oct. 27.-Propositions
are not confined to geometry, nor un-
known quantities to algebra. A news
paper correspondent is sometimes
confronted with problems more or
less intricate. To express it geome-
trically the one in mind at present
might be stated thus: Given q cir
Gus in Sumter, on Thursday, the 23rd,
and a train on the Northwestern due
to arrive there in time for the pa
rade, to find how many people were
in attendance from Summerton. The
answer is too lengthy to be attached
herewith. The other problem pre-
sented seems to require the use OF
algebra. If a lady boards the train
at SummertOn at 9.25 on given
morning intending to arrive at Sumter
IN time to buy a hat and return on
the afternoon train, what time will
the train reach Sumter? The answer
is represented by "X," or possibly
"XXX," ii We consider the cause Of
the delay.
Seldom do we chance upon the
names of our immediate neighbors
and friends when handling so far
away a paper as THE New Haven
Herald" end yet in a recent copy Of
this Connecticut publication we find
among the lists Of honor roll stu
dents at Yale for the year 1s12-1913,
the name of Mr.. Julian Scarborough
of this place, who throughout the year
maintained an average which placed
him on this distinguished list.
We learn with regret that the fam
lily Of Mr.. ]. Ashby Richbourg will
leave shortly to make their home in
Asheville, N. c., but we wish Mr..
RichbOurg much success in his new

EXTRA SESSION TALK
Politicians Revive subject With Refer
80. ence to State Land Affairs.

The possibility that the United
States government may exchange other
reserves for the granted and school
lands in the forest reserves, amount
ing to more than 100000 acres, as the
result of visit to the national capital
to be made by Land Commissioner
Clark V. Savidge and Attorney Cen
eral w. V. Tanner, has revived the
talk of an extra legislative session.
If such an exchange is effected it is
pointed out that constitutional
amendment may be required to permit
state officials to ratify the deal, and If
such an amendment is to be acted
upon prior to 1916 an extra session
will be necessary.
For more than eight years the fight
to recover these 100000 acres of state
lands Incorporated in the forest re-
serves has been waged, instituted by
former Land Commissioner E. W..
Roos. Inasmuch as Idaho has just won
such contention and Montana bids
fair to do likewise, everything points
to successful outcome also of Wash
ington's long fight.
Two other matters are also furnish
ing politicians material upon which to
base arguments in favor of an extra
session: the purported necessity of
legislative action on the federal amend
ment for the direct election of United
States senator's, so a successor to Sen
ator Wesley l.. Jones may be chosen
by a vote of the people next year, and
the statement that there is no money
left in the industrial insurance fund
for the payment Of damages to house
wreckers or in the powder mill fund
FOR payment CT damages to workers
injured in that trade. Legislation to
meet these conditions is deemed es-
sential.

This opinion is shared by the Sat

"'How about foreign competition?
What will be the effect Of the lower

ada, the West Indies, and Australia
So far as this country is concerned We
are not sanguine that any material ad-
vantage will accrue to our trade. For
merly the tariff was excessive; the re-
ductions will still leave it effective to
bar any considerable increase in our
exports of manufactures. The drastic
cuts in the wool schedule may stimu

ford area: but when we note that the
largest reductions are to be made in
the yarns, and progressively smaller
reductions in the fully more finished
categories Of manufactured cloths
there is some reason to fear that, as
with Germany, an increased importa'
ton of yarns may be accompanied by a
serious reduction in the quantity OF

NAMES BEST CROPS
FOR LOCAL LANDS
State College Tells How to I'm
prove Fertility Of Logged
OF Soil.

Crops that are best to grow in the
early stages of development in han
ding the logged off lands of Western
Washington should accomplish the
double purpose of bringing some rev.
enue, and of building up the soil, says
q recent bulletin from the Washington
State College. The soil of practically
all the logged off lands of Western
Washington very badly needs to be
built in fertility.
One Of the best crops for this pur-
pose is red clover. which seems to do
we'll at the very outset, will furnish the
best of feed for dairy that can be seed
ed. Red clover may be seeded in the
spring on we'll prepared land, prefer.
ably without q nurse crop; or, 1t may
be seeded in September with rye, be-
ing cut the following spring for hay
or green feed. coming early enough to
permit the clover to make a good
growth.
OF the single season crops, Canada
field peas or common vetches both do
very we'll, will furnish good feed for
cattle, and will build up the land at
the same time, though these crops do
not fill the soil with roots as abundant.
ly as does red clover. Field peas
should be seeded in the spring as ear
ly as possible on we'll prepared land,
sowing at the rate of about two bushels
of peas per acre. Where grain drill
can be used, 1t Is preferable to SOW
the peas with the drill, seeding three
or four inches deep, If possible. On
newly cleared land, however, 1t will
probably be necessary to SOW the peas
broadcast and harrow them in as thor
oughly as possible.
OF the cultivated crops, thousand
headed kale does very we'll, and will
furnish a large amount of feed for
cows or chickens.
OF the salable crops, potatoes seem
to do very well for first crop. Gar
den beans do only fairly well. Cab
bages do fairly we'll. Most of the other
crops ordinarily grown do very poorly
the first year after breaking up the
soil. Berries, including Strawberries,
raspberries and loganberries, all seem
to do we'll on logged off lands, but
time is gained by giving the soil a
year or two of good tillage and the
proper crop treatment before setting
out the more permanent crops. To get
the best results from the land, 1t is de-
sirable to maintain dairy, both for
the sake of utilizing the green feed
that will be produced, and for the
manure that is much needed on the
soil.
