Mr.. burgess EXPERIMENT

Mr. ]. c. Burge Of Yorkville, No. g.
is very much pleased with the pros
pect for his corn crop planted on his
crimson clover field. In reply to q
question as to when he planted the
corn. it's condition, etc., Mr.. Burge
said: "The corn was planted on June
2. I was not at home the day 1t was
planted and the greater portion Of II
is not as thick as l desired. There h
about an acre that Is thick enough In
the drill and believe that will come
pretty close to getting $50 bushels on
the acre. A week ago l plowed the
corn, and 1t was only five or six inches
high. I had to be very careful not to
cover it up with the plow. Today it is
nearly knee-high all over 1t and Is
growing with a hump"
Asked as to whether he would apply
any more fertilizers to the corn, Mr..
Burge said:
mo, don't think I will. l do not
think it will be necessary. You would
De surprised at tne lOOSeneSS Ol the
soil all the way down. The land was
plowed deep and do not believe that
a pint of water has run off 1t since the
clover was turned. believe it would
make good crop of corn even If 1t
did not have any more rain.
Il am getting letters from all over
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia" continued Mr.. Burge, from
people who want to know about my
clover, how seeded the ground, ETC.,
evidently from people who have been
reading about my clover. One Of these
letters was from lady below Colum-
bia and another was from Mr.. Cas-
ties who now lives in Georgia but who
was originally from Chester county"
Mr.. Burge before turning his clover
under, gathered about 35 bushels of
seed in the burr and he says he ex-
poets not only to SOW all Of this seed,
but will probably buy more.

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1913-07-01

A representative Of The Enquirer
who attended the meeting of the state
press association on the Isle Of Palms,
testifies that Governor Blease made
good his promise to hold down the lid,
There was no selling of either whisky
or beer on the island so far as our
representative was able to see. Chief
Constable Stothart was on hand with
his constables, and Mr.. Stothart mingl-
ed with the editors and made himself
very pleasant generally. Mayor John
P. Grace was also on hand, and made
himself thoroughly agreeable to every
body. Of course such of the editors
as wanted whisky or beer had no trou-
BILE in getting all they wanted in the
usual social way; but there was no
buying Of such Refreshments" over a
counter. Altogether the Press associa-
ton crowd, was as usual, sober and
respectable. The editors devoted them
selves mainly to the business in hand,
to surf bathing, social intercourse, and
other recreations. The most pleasant
single feature Of the occasion probably,
was the trip around the harbor, which
the visitors enjoyed through the DE-
lightful hospitality Of the Charlesto
ronage" to Senator Tillman and Sena-
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1913-07-01

The South Carolina congressmer
might as well turn over their pat
ronage" to Senator Tillman and Sena-
tor Smith as it seems as II the latter
Is having the final decision on the ap-
pointments in this state anyhow. Al
first It was said that the congressman
would have the right to name the post
masters in their respective districts
during the Wilson administration, but
1t seems as If they are to have this
power just so long as the nominees are
persona grata to the two senator's
Laurens Advertiser. ........ .... ...s-
That is the first time we have seen
this charge, and as to whether 1t is
true we are unable to say. We know
nothing beyond what the Advertiser
has said. But one thing we believe. and
that Is that If the people Of South Car
olina become aroused on this patron
age question, they will see that the
patronage goes where 1t properly be-
longs or know the reason why. South
Carolina folks are not the folks to
submit 10 the distribution Of political
patronage without very close inquiry
as to the wherefore, and when they
come to understand the matter, we do
not believe that they will stand for
the practices that have been so COM
mon in other states, notwithstanding
the fact that they have already been
required to submit to more or less
manipulation along this line.

Mule Dies from Blood Poison.
Mr.. D. M. Benfeld of Yorkville, No

suit of blood poison. Several days pre-
viously the animal jagged a hole In Its
head above one Of its eyes on a nail
either in the stable or about the barn
yard. No particular attention was
given to the wound until last Tuesday,
when it was noticed that the eye was
almost closed by swelling from the
wound. A veterinary was called on
for treatment, but despite his best eff
forts and the injection Of two doses of
anti blood poison serum, the mule died.

tation upon such governing board. We
think 1t no more reasonable to grant
this demand to the bankers than 1t
would be to authorize the railroads to
have representation and exercise
part of the governing power Of the in
terstate commerce commission, which
is charged with the duty of regulating
the railroads. 1t would, perhaps, be
but little different If the beef packers
should demand representation in ad-
ministrating the pure food act and
regulating their own conduct. 1t has
been suggested that some of the larg-
est national banks might go out of
this system and become state banks,
because of their displeasure at not hav-
ing representation on the governing
Federal reserve board and because
they were not satisfied to have their
correspondent banks put a part OF
their reserves in the Federal system,
and for the further reason that they
were displeased at the United States
issuing public currency and in the bill
not giving the right to the reserve
bank to issue the currency of the
country. We have taken infinite plans
to ascertain in the grounds of these
objections and feel justified in saying
that there Is no reason to apprehend
that any national bank will go out Of
the system because of the provisions
of this bill, but that they will general
ly rejoice at the opportunity afforded
them of having a more stable condition
in the financial and commercial
world"

If the Isle of Palms does not become
more famous and popular this year
than since it became such noted sea-
shore resort, it will not be the fault OF
the new management. The attractive
advertisement which appears In The
Enquirer Is being printed in practical
ly all of the papers of'the state, and In
the papers issued in nearby towns In
adjoining states. James Sottile-"So-
tilly" the name Is pronounced-is a
live one who seems to be working on
the idea that If you have good thing
and wish the public to know about it,
you should advertise the fact. Visitors
to the Isle Of Palms are unanimous In
the testimony that the general at
tractiveness Of that delightful resort
is greater than. has ever been known
before, and, all the jokes and knocks
about tigering, ETC., down there to the
contrary Notwithstanding, easily the
greatest single source Of revenue to
the management comes from the quar-
ters that visitors pay for the rent OF
bathing suits. .. ... l....a

We are hardly prepared to believe
that the Wilson administration, or
President Wilson, at least, has it in
for Governor Blease; but we do not
doubt that there are influences at
Washington and South Carolina influ-
ences with Washington, that are doing
all they can to use the Wilson ad-
ministration for the governors en-
barrassment. There can be no question
of the fact that there are South Car
olina influences that are much closer
to President Wilson that Governor
Blease is, and we do not doubt that
these influences are being eXerted to
their utmost against the governor
And we do not like the idea much, be-
cause we think it only makes for mis-
chief. We are inclined to think that
unless the president Is exceedingly
careful in what he does in South Car
olina affairs, he is liable to stir up a
hornets nest

CURRENCY REFORM
Simple Explanation Of Proposed Re-
discounting Feature.

Simple Explanation Of Proposed Re-
diseounting Feature.
Some Of the important features OF
the new currency bill are pointed out
and illustrated in the recent issue of
the Manufacturers Record, through
its special Washington correspond
ent. The rediscounting feature Of
the bill, as well as some other facts
relative to the proposed currency sys-
cord: G-r c
1.-The practical working out Of the
rediscounting feature Of the propos-
ed bill through which emergency
currency Is to be issued, will be about
as follows: A. who is in business,
wishes to borrow, say, $4,000 from
the national bank with which he does
business; as security for the loan he
gives his note for the amount, endors-
ed by someone who is responsible
financially and otherwise reliable.
The bank, thereupon loans him the
money, and would ordinarily carry the
note among Its assets; this particular
bank, however, may be temporarily
short on loanable funds, and IL such
be the case, 1t would deposit AS
uOle Will TIE TSSiOuhi ocfNiCS dooo-
citation to which II belongs, and II the
paper was deemed prime by the board
of governors OF the association. II
would call upon the Federal reserve
board at Washington to issue treasury
notes to the amount Of $4,000, which
amount, less the premium which the
borrowing bank would have to pay
for the accommodation, would be turn
ed over to It; providing, however,
that the Federal reserve board would
have the right to make an independ-
ent inquiry into the quality Of the
note as q security. ftis
"As matter of fact, the regional
reserve association would seldom, II
ever, seek to have single note re-
discounted, but would handle them In
patches representing q considerable
amount of money, and not only would
the absolute safety of the CONNER
cial paper be taken into consideration
by the regional association. but the
needs Of the applying bank for en-
ergency funds would be determining
factor in allowing the rediscounting.
cit is learned that while 1t was
originally intended to fix the mini
mum premium, or tax, on emergency
currency at 81 per cent, the bill when
introduced, will make this minimum
per cent; the maximum cannot be
ascertained at this time, but will
probably be s per cent
while the regional reserve asso-
citation centers have not all been de-
eermined upon as yet, the following
cities will be designated as such:
New York, Philadelphia, Boston,
Chicago, Baltimore, New Orleans, st.
Louis, Denver and San Francisco.
while for the others. Cincinnati,
Louisville, Buffalo, Seattle and At
lanta are being considered"

Martin w. Mulhall, Of Baltimore, has
created a big sensation in connection
with insidious lobby charges through
a signed statement published in the
New York World and the Chicago Tri-
bune last Sunday. From 1903 to 1912
Mulhall was in the employ of the Ma
tional Association Of Manufacturers
as lobbyist in Washington, and hav-
ing been dismissed, has undertaken to
tell all he knows. He mentions names
of congressman who, he claims, have
yielded to improper influences, and
goes into details concerning a number
of alleged specific transactions. The
statement has stirred up congressmer
tremendously, and it is probable that
the lobby investigation which was
thought to have been practically clos
ed will be re-opened. Several of the
congressman who have been accused
have denounced Mulball as a malicious
liar.

further details, I'VE believe that If a
neighborhood, say like Bethel, were or
ganized under the leadership Of its
best material, it would not be great
while before there would be visible re-
suits. For one thing it might mean
that Bethel might one day be traversed
by trolley line, or some other equal
ly serviceable public utility. There
would certainly be more opportunity
than there now is for taking advantage
of such benefit as might be going, and
it is impossible to conceive Of reason
why such an organization should bring
harm. We would like very much to
see the idea put in practical effect in
Bethel, and we would be pleased to
give space in our columns for further
discussion from other qr rarters Of the
county.
