New Stamp Books.

Postmaster General Burleson
is the author of what is expected
to prove one of the six best
sellers" among the books of the
coming season. Announcement
was made that it was off the
press and soon could be had at
thousands of postoffices and sub
postoffices throughout the coun-
try. The book, it's attractive
title being "a, 1c-2c, is en-
bellished with beautiful en-
cravings and will sell for the
nominal sum of 73 cents. The
demand for such book was
recognized by those who ap-
proved of that other sterling
little volume issued by the
government and which con-
tained twelve &c stamps, the
price of which was 25 cents.
The new volume is to contain
twenty-four &c and an equal
number of 1c stamps.
The department has issued
instructions to the postmasters
throughout the country concern
ing the issue of the new stamp
book.

says a Columbia dispatch to the
Charlotte Observer. He had
been regarded candidate for
Governor, and by some people
was thought to stand a good
chance of election.
Dramatically came his state
ment that he would not enter
the race, following the Blease
forces conference held Wednes-
day evening. At this conference
Senator McLaurin delivered a
strong speech review ng the
history of Tlllmanism and Blease-
ism and stated that Bleaseism is
the child of Tillmanism.
Charles Carroll Sims. avowed
supporter of Governor Blease.
who announced his candidacy
for Governor Thursday night
said that Bleaseism was nobler
than Tillmanism. In his state
ment issued Friday afternoon
Senator McLaurin takes issue
with Mr.. Sims on that point.
/ find myself out of Sympathy
with the views expressed by the
other speakers" says Senator
McLaurin in his statement to The
Observer bureau. Il do not
think that Blease!sm is higher
and nobler than TilImanism.
1t is the irony of fate" he
adds that |, who suffered most
injustice at the hands of Tillman
personally should now be the
only defender of Tillmanism. :"

the early nineties and brought
the matter up to the present date.

No Sale of Court House.

Owing to the fact that no one
cared to invest the upset price
of $500 in the property, there
was no sale of the old court
house and lot in Yorkville Mon
day, although the sale as former
ly advertised attracted large
crowd to the premises when the
property was offered for sale at
IL O'Clock, noon, by j. w. Fer
guson, of Atlanta. The site was
first offered in separate lots and
tht amounts BID in this manner
aggregated total of only $13,-
225, with $500 for the building.
The property was then offered
as whole and after much talk
by the auctioneer the price was
worked up to $14, 500, but as
this was $1,000 short of the
upset price, the sale was de-
clared off. The last and highest
bid was by DR.. D. B. Johnson.
of Rock Hill.
Immediately after the sale the
commissioners held a meeting
in which it was decided to build
the new court house on the pres
ent site. The designing archi-
tect was notified of this action
of the commissioners and as
soon as the plans are perfected
work will begin on the removal
of the old building and erection
of the new S75, 900 structure.

Successful With Alfalfa.

That alfalfa is a better money
crop than cotton has been proven
this year by Mr.. Edgar Jones, a
well known farmer of the town
ship, on his plantation one mile
west of town. Last fall Mr..
Jones put in one and one-half
acres of alfalfa and from this
acreage has this year cut and
sold seven tons of the crop. The
price received was $40 per ton
or a total of $40. The alfalfa
was cut five times. averaging at
each cutting a ton to the acre.
Mr.. Jones is so well pleased with
his experiment with alfalfa that
this fall he has 'sown 16 ad-
dltlonal acres and says that next
fall he expects to further en-
large his crop by putting in 20
acres more.

The Elwell Cleaner Elevator

November. AS a result the cows
drink a great deal more water and it
don't matter how much water is in
the milk if the water gets in through
the COW"
On the question of profit on cows,
The profit a farmer would realize
depends upon conditions and quality
of COWS. Cows that will give an
nually seven to eight thousand pounds
of milk would pay about one hundred
dollars each. When we tabulated
that census of forty patrons before
referred to we spoke to one German
farmer whose COWS were only netting
him about thirty-fve dollars apiece,
and took pains to show him where
he could improve his herd, and the
next year his cows averaged him
sixty-two dollars per year, and the
year later eighty dollars, so that in
three years his ten cows had more
than doubled their milk Take care
of your cows and they will pay We
find them on the whole the most
profitable of farm products
On the question of price paid for
cheese factory milk the answer was:
The price varies with the price of
cheese
DR.. MacLachlan here asked that
definite steps be taken toward max
ing contracts for the specified num-
Der of COWS, for Elwell wants the
cheese factory.
In response TO the statement of
Chairman Taylor, committee of
four was authorized to solicit con-
tracts. Messrs. John Morton, James
Garget, Elmer Bemis and VIM
Schiff were nominated and elected by
unanimous vote.
Mr.. Warner stated that a building
80 X 20 feet one story high with about
o-foot ceiling would answer and
might cost twelve to fifteen hundr ed
dollars. The committee were author

partaken. He could understand now
why Mr.. Slocum came up there to
start bank 1t was so h could get
a good square meal once in a while
when he came up to meet the people
of Elwell. This town he believed
was near the center OF the best agri-
cultural section OF the state. Person
ally he lived on a farm in another
good section over in the thumb of
Michigan. These garden spots OF
our great state were alike interested
in raising beets and beans and dairy
forming. For the past twenty-five
years he had been interested i'll dairy
ing especially as it related to the
manufacture of cheese i'll Lenawee
county. For some time the milk
dealers of Detroit have been reaching
out into our cheese making territory
and because they are willing to pay
more for the milk than we could get
for it if manufactured into cheese,
many of our factories have become
milk shipping stations to Detroit milk
dealers. But the great question be-
fore us today is whether or not in
tensive dairying pays, and | need not
but take you through a section of our
state where every farmer makes the
keeping of a dairy herd one of the
chief objects OF farming to prove it.
There you will find better and larger
buildings, well-fcnced, clean-kept
farms which produce regularly large
yields OF the finest grain. | made a
trip recently through Cheboygan

ucts last year totaled value of over

they cost me about thirty-hve hun

they are best for cheese making, and

making we buy the milk by the pound

The first question asked of Mr.
Warner was concerning milking ma
chimes. He stated that he had been
using machine for six years from
the first of April to November. That
with the machine two men could
milk siXty-hve cows in two hours.
He had no trouble breaking in cows.
\ machine was easily installed. 1t
was simply vacuum machine and
a gas engine and one man could milk
from four TO six COWS at a time. We
had a plumber from Pennington lay
the pipes for our first machine, which
think was the first machine in
Michigan, and when we started it up
the plumber remarked, Il believe
those COWS thpk they've got four
calves sucking them at once"
The next question was in regard to
cement silos, and the answer was
My only objection to cement silo
is that in cold weather the silagc
freezes fast to the outside and cannot
be easily removed and would not be
fit to feed while frozen, even if it
could be dislodged But it thaws off
and falls down in the spring and can
be used then if fed right away, so
there is no particular loss. Most OF
the silos in our country are 16 X a.
but we have three on our farm

The corn is beginning to harden and
is we'll past the milk stage by that
time. If the ears are not plentiful it
does not matter for all the good in
the stalk goes into the siage In
filling one of our silos we were
stopped by heavy rain, and nearly a
week passed before we could fill it
and it had settled five or six feet
Then about a month later we had
some corn to save and we had been
using out of this silo and lowered it
with what it settled twelve to four
teen feet. We put this dry corn
through the cutter and run water into
the silo with it and it all came out in
good shape. It's the only way to
save all the feeding value of the corn.
Our feeding experience is that most
cattle are not given salt enough. We
salt ours with every feed About two
ounces to the COW, or about one
fourth pound per day. One of Our
farmers told me recently that to a
herd TO ten COWS he had fed nearly
three barrels of salt since the first OF

DATA WANTED ON
ROAD CONSTRUCTION
A. A. A. Hopes to Secure In

Benefit All Interested.

Recognition of the fact that more in
formation is needed in determining the

association is convinced that proper
steps should be taken in every state in
the union TO gather such data as will
show the number. character and approx
mate weights Of vehicles passing over
the principal roads,
The failure Of many roads to stand
up under the traffic is due, not as many
persons suppose TO inferior materials
and workmanship, but to the lack of
preliminary information as 10 the traf-
fic the road was expected TO stand, Con
sequently. roads have been built which
would have lasted for years under other
travel conditions; now they are ruins,

branch of their work would have con.

Engineering Record Of March Is saws:
fWithout knowing the wear a road
has. there is absolutely no way of tell
ing whether it is good or bad; only
careful traffic census can determine
this. Roads too costly have been con.
structed in some places; in other places
roads unsuited TO the traffic have been
built. In view of this well-knowu fact,
it is evident that traffic census is an
essential to economy in nearly all road
building, Imagine a bridge designer
making plans for structure without
anything more than a rough guess
whether it was to be used by steam
railways or trolley cars. and we have
