More Intensive; Better Balanced.


Tendencies in the state Of South
Carolina toward a more intensive and
varied agriculture are described for
The Manufacturers Record of Balti-
more by E. J. Watson, state commits
sioner of agriculture, commerce and
industries, as follows:
"In South Carolina our people are
now practicing Investigation to a
greater extent than I had eve hoped
to get them to do. l have preached
in the far-rural districts and every
where else, in eason and out Of sea-
son, the doctrine of raising on the
farm everything that is necessary to
sustain life Of both man and beast,
and at last the continual pounding of
this doctrine is bringing the desired
results throughout the state. We are
now growing corn in a manner that
no one dreamed possible, and in some
sections not one bushel of corn Is
being bought outside Of the state,
either to feed animals or to be con-
verified into meal, or even already man.
ufactured into meal for human con-
sumption. This is particularly true Of
certain sections of the Piedmont. In
the matter of small grain, they are
planting more oats than We had ever
thought Of planting, and in ONE Sec
tons the growing of wheat is being
INDUCED in generally, and with mark
ed success. Last summer / attended
a big mass meeting in one of the far
rural districts Of the state, inwhich
l had started a campaign for home
rased. bread two years before, and
every particle Of bread or cake that
was used at the picnic hat day was
made from home-milled flour made
from homegrown wheat.
"Of course, while we are pushing
along these lines, we are also pushing
for an increase of the tobacco crop in
the territory where tobacco can be
grown successfully. We are now con-
Quoting the most vigorous kind Of a
campaign for the raising of hogs and
cattle at home, and the state legis-
lature has aided in this latter by ap-
propriating $4,000 this year for the
completion of the work of eradication
Of the cattle tick in South Carolina.
I'm other words, my efforts have
been directed, day and night, for the
last ten years, to bringing about a
balanced agriculture, and bringing to
tn people u knowledge of the value of
maintaining soil fertility, for an I'M
d~erstandiug of intensive methods of
cultivation, and fer getting practical
ideas of the best and most successful
ean of marketing their products.
In regard to the latter, 1 am operating
now, with wonderful success, a state
bureau Of marketing, through which
each week barter and exchange Of
commodities between the producer and
the consumer direct goes on constant
ly in ever-increasing volume, with the
elimination of middlemen's profits.

"My brave brother and poor Mr..
Brooks!" said Neya in her gentle,
sympathetic way:
She never knew what his cruel
heaTtedness had cost her. She never
understood that almost a royal for
tune awarded her, brother by the con-
science-stricken millionaire, really
represented restitution.
All she knew was thatsshe had won
a man for her husband whose tender
love was.a grateful balm, after all her
lonely life Of toll and sacrifice.

but, frankly, they are a source Of
worry to me. l must have them
guarded while 1 am not showing them
on the stage. After each performance
/ lock them in a jewel case and my
secretary takes them in charge.
Those stockings have never been
washed, but the jewels and the set
tings are transferred each week to
new material, so it works out all
right, anyway. Oh, yes, yes, I love to
wear them.
81 gothic idea for the stockings in
Paris, of course. One night at the
Follies Bergere, one. of the descend
ants of the old French nobility, Com
tie de Paix, brought me an exquisite
diamond with instructions to wear it
somewhere to counteract the sparkle
he said he saw in my eyes.
Where, better than around my
stockings, could I wear it to obey that
command? l though how much bet
ter pair of stockings set in dia-
monds would be. And so / got them.
"They are beautiful, are they not?
Seer
And. she opened her jewel case to
expose a dazzling, shimmering view
of the wonderful stockings that have
attracted attention in so many lands.

SOLICITOR WILL EXPEDITE
CASE MUCH AS POSSIBLE

Atlanta, Dec. 28.-Solicitor Dorsey,
who conducted the prosecution of
Frank, said today the state would ex-
pedite the case as much as possible
and that he hoped the supreme court
would consider the appeal within sixty
days. Frank is now sentenced to be
hanged on January %.
Should the supreme court decide that
Frank Is not entitled to the benefit Of
habeas corpus writ, the state of Georgia
no longer will be barred from imposing
the death sentence. Should the court
decide he is entitled to ask for a wril
the case propably will be remanded
to the federal court in Georgia for the
taking Of evidence in support Of the
opposition writ.
In case the supreme court eventually
should decide that Frank must be re-
leased it is said the further question
arises as to the power of the state of
Georgia to indict and try him again.
The authorities are said to differ as to
the first trial should be re-
garded as having placed Frank in
Jeopardy"

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Dispatches
from the Brazilian minister at Mexico
City. dated early today and received
by the state department tonight said
the situation there is full Of uncer-

cree issued by General Gutierrez sus-
pends the executions, pending a fair
trial.
The United States government is at
tempting to obtain a general amnesty.

Philadelphia, Dec. 2S.-The work.
mems compensation law in operation
in New York state gives general satis>
faction with the possible exception of
the matter of insurance rates, which
experience is proving to have been too
high, said John Mitchell today, speak
ing before the American Association
for Labor Legislation. Mr.. Mitchell, a
member Of the New York State Work
ingmen's compensation commission,
said the high rate of insurance is the
common experience of every state
adopting compensation laws. Lack of
compiled statistics" he added, 'com
pels the rate makers TO put themselves
on the safe side, and a rate to be safely
high must be too high.
"In the administration Of the state
insurance fund. the commission has
been able to declare a general aver
age of &c per cent reduction in rates,
and in addition to that to refund Is
per cent. dividend upon the business
of the first seIni-annual period.
Mr.. Mitchell said that in the schedule
for compensation Sc 2-3 per cent. is
not too high. When the operation OF
the law has settled to a firm basis OF
administration, he said, it would en-
tail little or no added burden upon the
states industries.

London, Dec. 2S.-The battle lines
in the east and west have undergone
few changes the past day. The French
and German reports agree that the
Germans have captured a section of
trenches near Hollebeke. south Ypres.
The French assert the Germans gave
up the trenches on the first line to an
extent Of eight or nine hundred yards
In the Lens district, further east.
According to the Russian reports
German attempts to capture Warsaw
have failed Berlin asserts however,
that there is general confidence that
the Austro-German forces are making
progress.
Reports of the number of wounded
both armies are sending back from the
lines in the west would indicate that
the fighting on Christmas in Belgium
particularly, was the fiercest Of the
past month.
Br-~-sh newspapers are enthusiastic
over the raid of their cruisers and
Zeppelins on the German naval base at
Cuxhaven- They consider improbable
the German statement that although
ships and gas works were hit by bombs
no damage was done.
The British people are losing the
fear that they had over the Zeppelin
raids. Many critics believe however,
that hostile aircraft may repeat over
London its visit with bombs which
they paid Paris and Warsaw The
authorities tonight issued a warming of
danger to the people on the streets
to take refuge in easements if they
heard the sound of explosives.

tat much feeling has been

general over the unwarrant-

The document was cabled to
Ambassador Page to be formally
presented to Sir Edward Grey, the
British foreign secretary. The
document constitutes the strongest
representation on the subject made
by the United States to any of the
European beIIigerents. Its prepa-
ration was begun a month ago by
Secretary Bryan and other state
department officials. Recently it
had the personal attention of Pres
ident Wilson, who revised the
phraseology with minute care. 1t
detailed the point Of view the
United States previously had set
forth with a series of emphatic
protests and numerous specific
cases of detentions and seizure of
cargoes.
Today's communication couched
in general terms, covering the en-
tire subject of the relations of the
two countries and the British at
titude, which is considered highly
Objectionable. The note says the
representations made In a friend
iy spirit, but the United States
considers il best to speak on
strn1s of franknsss lest silence may
be construed as an acquiesence in
the British policy.

DIFFERENT POINTS
HAVE BEEN RAISED
Justice Cites a Number of
Constitutional Questions,
Which, He Says, the ST.
preme Court Has Never
Acted Upon-Writ Had
Previously Been Refused
by Federal Judge Newman
of Georgia.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Dec. 28.-Justice Lamar
of the supreme court Of the United
States, today granted an appeal from
the decision of the federal court in
Georgia, which refused to release Leo
M. Frank on q habeas corpus proceed
ing. Frank is under sentence of death
for the murder Of Mary Phagan, a
fourteen-year old Atlanta factory girl
The celebrated case now comes be-
fore the highest court. Franks attor
neys have been working to this end
for weeks. A previous attempt to
get the case before the supreme court
by application for writ of error from
the decision OF the supreme court of
Georgia, refusing to annul the verdict,
failed.
In the present proceeding Franks
attorneys argued before Federal Judge
Newman, of Georgia, that the state
courts, in which Frank was convicted,
had lost jurisdiction over their client
because he had not had a fair trial
and because he had been convicted
in an atmosphere of violence. Newman
refused to grant the writ of habeas
corpus asked and declined to grant an
appeal to the supreme court. Franks
attorneys then made application for
an appeal to Lamar.
Lamar, in his statement explaining
why he granted the appeal, said that
the application presented an entirely
different situation from the application
for a writ of error, which he declined
to grant. He cited several constitu-
tional questions, which he said the
supreme court never had acted upon.
He said in part:
1.-THE supreme court has never de-
termined whether on trial for murder
in state court, the due process clause
of the federal constitution guarantees
the defendant the right to be present
when the verdict is rendered.
The case would be heard by the full
court in about eighteen months in the
course of business. 1t is I'M |
efforts will be made to have |
it advanced for a hearing. In the |
Franks execution will be |
stayed.
Frank was absent from the court |
room when the jury returned a YER
dict at the suggestion of the presiding |
Judge on account of alleged feeling
against Frank by the public.

MEETS DEATH IN FLOOD
Former Rocky Ford Young Woman
Drowned at Telluride

A Telluride dispatch of Monday after
noon brought news of a fearful cloud
burst which swept through that city,
bringing desolation in its wake and
death to two women, one of whom
Mrs. E. Z. Blakley--was quite well
known in Rocky Ford.
According to the dispatch: 'It was
just 1890 Monday afternoon when a
cloudburst occurred at the head of
Cornet canon. Those working at the
Liberty Bell mine, three miles from the
city, saw wall of water fifty feet high
going down the canon. They telephoned
to Telluride and messengers were sent
out to warn the people living in the
path to get out of their homes. Twenty
minutes later the water reached the
mouth of the canon and swept across
the city.
The home of the Blakley's was caught
in the brunt of the wall of water and
upset. Blakley succeeded in escaping,
but his wife, bride of less than year,
| was caught in door as she sought to
leave the house and was pinned beneath
the flood.
The body of Mrs. Blakley was recov-
cred after the flood had partially SUBJ
sided.
Twenty years ago the city of Telluride
built dam and changed the course of
Cornet creek from southeast to south
west. The water tore the dam out
| as though it were made of straw and
reopened the old course and left wall
of rock, trees and mud three-quarters of
a mile from the mouth of the canon.
One-fifth of the town was entirely wiped
out, ll2 buildings being destroyed. Six
blocks on the main business street are
covered to depth of ten feet in mud
and debris. A few over 700 are home
less and are being cared for by the rest
of the families and in the bunk houses
in the mines nearby.
L. +. Blakley, who the dispatch
states made his escape from the flood,
for a couple of years and up until about
by ii. C. Morse. He left here to take
position in Telluride, and not long
after his departure Miss Vera Baggs, a
popular young stenographer of Rocky
Ford, left for the world-famed mining
camp to be united in marriage with
Earl Blakley.
The news of Mrs. Blakley's tragic
and sudden end will be severe shock
to her many friends in this city.
