GORDON IS winner
Defeats Hills and Graves in
Tennis Matches.
GOOD PROGRESS IS MADE
Running Off the Events in Closed
Tourney at Chevy
Chase Club.

Good progress has been made in the
mems singles in the closed Chevy Chase
tennis tournament now being played,
the semi-final round having been
reached yesterday afternoon, when
Spencer Gordon defeated John Graves
in the second round and Ralph w.
Hills in the third. Both of these
matches were good ones and were
easily the features of the afternoons
play.
Although Gordon is supposed to be
a much better player than Graves. it
is an odd fact that Graves is one of
the hardest players for him to defeat.
In the recent open tournament when
these two met three hard sets were
necessary before Gordon could gain
the decision. and again yesterday he
had trouble, although the third set
was not necessary. IL and 60 be-
ing the scores. Gordon appeared to
be at his best, but it took everything
at his command to give him the vic
tory. On no less than Ave occasions in
the first set 1t looked as if Graves
would take it, but each time Gordon
was able to stave off defeat. The sec
ond set was much closer than the
score would indicate. as many of the
games were deuce ones, and any minute
it looked as if Graves would take a
squirt and tie things up.

CRIMSON CLOVER

Mr.. ]. c. Burge Of Yorkville, No. 3,
with whose crimson clover experiments
the readers of The Enquirer are pretty
familiar is not going to make hun
dred bushels Of corn to the acre on the
five acres Of crimson clover he turned
over; but he is calculating on at least
three hundred bushels.
That three hundred bushels is quite a
come down" from five hundred BUSH
els there Is no question; but 1t does not
suggest the idea that Mr.. Burge Is a
big talker who does not make good. His
calculations from the beginning were
based on reasonably fair seasons and
he has not gotten them. In fact there
has been so little rain on his crop since
it was planted, that If it had not been
for the crimson clover, he would not
now be hoping for more than eighteen
or twenty bushels to the acre. So con-
vinced is he, however, that he owes
what under the circumstances Is re-
markably good corn crop to crimson
clover that he is sowing thirty acres in
this crop this fall.
Mr.. Burge related an interesting ex-
perience he has had within the past
few weeks. On a part of some cotton
land on which he desired to sow clo-
yer, the limbs were interlocking be-
tween the rows, and not caring to go in
with a plow, he scattered the seed on
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1913-09-19

the damp ground. 1t came to a beauti-
full stand within few days, and is do
ing as well as the portion of the cotton
field that was plowed before sowing,
This incident goes to confirm, a previ-
Gus conclusion that Mr.-Burge had ar
rived at to the effect that there should
be no attempt to cover clover seed; but
that they should be left alone lest some
of them be buried so deep that they
would not come up. --,.-.g,.. ...a
Discussing the subject further in the
light of what he had seen, heard and
experienced, Mr.. Burge expressed the
opinion that there will be twenty five
times as much crimson clover sown in
York county this year as last year;
and he went on to say that II every
thing turns out anything like as well
with sewers generally as it has been
with him, the fertilizer bill OF York
county will be cut half in two within
the next five years, with an increase
instead OF a decrease in the general
productiveness Of the lands.

HIGH COST OF LIVING

Mr.. B. F. Scoggins Of Hickory Grove,
who Is not only good farmer. but
something Of philosopher, can't see
why the government should be raising
such a howl about the high cost OF liv-
ing, especially SO far as the farmers Of
the south are concerned, ..
1.-THE trouble with things now,' said
Mr.. Scoggins yesterday. "is that the
number of consumers is growing out Of
proportion to the number Of producers,
and this matter will regulate itself al
ter a while. II meat goes to twenty
cents a pound and corn to two dollars a
bushel, instead of using twenty doii
lar Niger to work three hundred dol
lar mule in the making Of bale OF
cotton on three acres of land, we will
go to raising corn and meat.
$50 far as am concerned" Mr., Scog-
gins went on, II rather like the high
cost of living The high price Of beef
cattle seems to me calculated to make
the people fence in more land and go to
raising some better stuff than they
have been raising. .... ..-.
"The trouble on the farm all along
has been that there has not been
enough of money to be made there
When q boy works from sunup to sun
down all spring and summer, wearing
one gallus and getting sunburned and
ragged, in the fall finds that his daddy
Is unable to give him anything out OF
the little that has been made, 1t Is per-
fectly natural that he should want to
HE off to town where he can wear good
clothes, sport with the girls and have
an easier time; but things like this
regulate themselves Now that all kinds
of farm products are going higher,
there is getting to be more on the farm
to look forward to. and the men and
boys who have not already been too
badly spoiled by town life, will come
back and help make things move"
Mr.. Scoggins by the way, has the
reputation of being good farmer. He
makes both ends meet and little bet
ter every year, and keeps right up with
the procession in the matter of agri-
cultural improvements. He says he ex-
poets to SOW oats this year as usual,
and will also put in little wheat. He
has been experimenting with crimson
clover for several years and thinks very
highly of it, both as forage crop and
land improver.

Although there was some pretty GU
rious politics in 1t all, we are inclined
to think that the people of Spartanburg
did wise thing in preferring John F.
Floyd over Mayor Johnson. We have
no personal acquaintance with these
gentlemen; but have been able to get a
pretty satisfactory line on the situation
Lawlessness has been running rampant
in Spartanburg until the people are
getting tired of it. Gambling is more or
less open and quite general. and wo-
men Of bad character are free to go al
most wherever they like. The blind I'll
ger business fiourishes with almost no
restriction. These things were issues
in the recent campaign. Both candi-
dates were charged with being for the
wide open town; but Floyd came out in
a published statement to the effect that
he would rather be defeated than to be
elected with any such understanding
Johnson of course, claimed to stand for
law and order; but the conditions that
have been fiourishing during his ad-
ministration have been against him
That there will be a lot of protests and
contests we have no doubt; but in view
of things that have been allowed to de-
velop in the city, it is going to take
quite a while to get matters straight.

1t was not our purpose to discuss
specific details; but we have no hesi-
tation in saying that we agree with the
Medium upon the principles OF the
three bills mentioned; but we were not
sorry to see the Medical Inspection act
90 down. We not only agree with the
general purpose of this act; but think
1t very important to the general well
fare of the country. There Is feature
of 1t, however, that did not appeal to
us. We do not believe in giving any
man. too much power over the individ-
ual, and we have seen many cases OF
authority that was delegated FOR one
purpose being used for other purposes.
II may be true that most physicians
would use the authority conferred In
this proposed law strictly In accord
ance with the avowed purpose OF the
law. Indeed we think majority would
SO do. But it must be remembered that
there are also physicians who are sell
fish, and INSCRIPTIONS and who are
capable of making very improper uses
of this proposed law. If medical in
spection bill ever passes, we sincerely
hope that the rights Of the people will
be safeguarded beyond any reasonable
chance of abuse. OF course we recog-
nize that the objection we have sug-
gested would be cured Of itself In
time.

If Secretary Houston wants to give
first aid to the farmers wife, he'll have
the spring moved up to the back door.
Washington Post.
The Post probably tried to be bright
before being wise, but in this saying it
Is both bright and wise. We are not
going to accuse York county people of
having made no progress in that impor-
tant matter of tightening the work of
their wives, for such an accusation
would be unjust. We could mention
many cases of where the Spring has
been moved up to the back door," figur-
atively speaking, and where other in
telligent efforts have been made to en-
able the wives to do their work with
less lifting and fewer steps. But still
there is lots of room for Improvement
in this respect. The man who makes
drudge of his wife does not know
much. He not only curtails his own
pleasure and comfort, but detracts
from the happiness and usefulness of
wife and children. Don't let us be un-
stood as suggesting that there should
be less work AS a matter Of fact few
of us work any more than we should,
not even the hardest working of the
wives. But the thing is to make the
work count for more. Who, now-a-
days, would try to hew out boards for
building a house when the boards can
be sawed so much better and more
cheaply? Who would undertake now to
weave homespun, when as good cloth
can be had at one third the cost? There
is no disputing the fact that many
wives are still drudging over things
that could be handled more economical
ly and that their efforts would be worth
more in other directions. These things
should be looked to.

Reproducing from The Enquirer a
recent editorial paragraph in which we
expressed our regret that the people
were not being as frankly represented
in matters of legislation as we think
they should be, the Abbeville Medium
approves what we have to say and goes
on to remark:
AS stated by The Enquirer it Is diff
ficult to find a remedy. All men claim
to be for the dear people" but many
Of them do not demonstrate the fact
after they are elected. In fact it seems
to us that many of the laws proposed
which would be of benefit to the large
majority of the people are always kill
ed, but there Is never any trouble in
creating new offices and increasing the
salary of those already created. Take
the Medical Inspection act, the Torrens
System act, the Inheritance Tax act,
