CLARENDON RUNNING FARM.
supervisor Davis Uses Less Eff
cicnt Workers and Mules to Pro-
vide for Others.

Manning, June 24.-County Super
visor w. II. Davis is making a very
interesting and promising venture on
behalf OF Clarendon county that is
entirely legitimate though somewhat
outside his regular official duties. He
has leased the Gaillard farm in the
fork Of Black river for a. term Of
years and is planning to save a great
deal of expense in supplying the nee
essary food for the convicts on the
chaingang and the number of mules
uesd in carrying, on the road work.
He has Just fl lished harvesting 100
acres of oats ard has threshed 1000
bushels with at least that much more
to be threshed. He is baling the straw
and will utilize that for roughness
and bedding for the mules He is now
engaged in seeding down the stubble
land in peas which will make a fine
crop of hay. He has SO acres of corn
that now promises to make at least
A'"0" w 1'ooV buSIltlS USSlucS all I'LL
mense amount of forage, for he is
planting peas in the corn as he LAYS
it by. In addition to these main
crops he has produced q large amount
of cabbage and Irish potatoes for
the use of The road gang and is pre-
PAIRING to raise an abundant supply Of
sweet potatoes, turnips and collards.
He also raises hogs at the road camp
and on the farm which will afford a
good meat supply. The principal part
of this farm work is done by q few
hands who, while not invalids, are
not physically able to do regular road
work, and Il few mules that have seen
better days. 1t is not the purpose
of Mr.. Davis to raise crops to sell
but to supply the needs Of the county
at less expense and with better ma
tcrial than can be bought in the open
market To his pl3n of handling and
feeding his nands is probably due in
Il large measure the fact that he has
not had Il case of sickness on the gang
this year.

already approved by the senate. was
passed today by the house by a vote
Of 17+ to 81. one dreadnought will

house managers In conference to
agree to the senate amendment, with
alterations providing specific appro-
priations for the new dreadnought
which will cost $500. 900 exclusive OF
armor and armament. The proposal
provides immediate funds Of $685.

soon as the sale Is consummated.
The proposal was agreed TO in spite
Of the charge by Republicans on the
Moor that the sale meant "entangling
European alliances and would in
voive the United States in the Balkan
troubles"
Representative Padgett decalred
that the administration believed the
sale Of the two vessels would have q
tendency Ito preserve the peace" be-
tween the nations involved. and as
serted that he knew Of no protest
against the sale being made by either
country.
