READY TO HELP.
McAdoo Asks Banks Whether They
Want Help for Crop Funds.

McAdoo Asks Banks Whether They
Want Help for Crop Funds.
Secretary McAdoo mailed a letter
Monday to each of the national banks
in the United States asking whether
they believe it will be advisable for
the treasury department 10 lend a
hand again this year in the move
ment of crops by distributing addi-
tional government deposits.
The secretary asked for an opinion
as to what cities in each State may
be used to the best advantage as CEN
ters from which the national banks
may place the money among their
country correspondents and as to the
sort of collateral the bankers regard
as best for the security Of govern
ment funds.
"While it is expected that the fed
eral reserve banks will begin bust
ness in time to assist in moving the
crops this fall" the letter concluded,
"the treasury department will never
theless be disposed to help business
to the full extent Of its powers
through the proper use Of govern
ment funds, if it becomes apparent
that such help is needed in any sec
tion of the country"
Last year Secretary McAdoo de-
posted more than SO 100000 with
national banks for crop movements
and every cent of the money was
tpaid back nth interest before April
of this year.

GREETED WITH APPLAUSE
Rural Letter Carriers Give Clink-
scales Name Warm Reception.

Tumultuous cheering for John G.
Clinkscales, professor of mathematics
at Wofford College and candidate for
Governor, was inspired by the men
ton of his name at Spartanburg
Tuesday at the opening session of the
annual Convention of the South
Carolina Rural Letter Carriers Asso-
citation. The applause is being fea-
tured by his advocacy of Statewide
compulsory education, continued for
several minutes.
The speaker was R. D. Robinson,
of Edgemor, Chester County, and he
was responding to the address Of well
come. He paid a tribute to Spartan
burg as the home Of well known men
whom he mentioned, and had no
more than uttered DR.. Clinkscales
name than there came such a demon
stration of enthusiasm for the candl-
date from the letter carriers as pre-
vented the speaker from continuing
for perhaps three minutes. The out
burst of applause was commented
upon as being remarkable for its
spontaneity.

END CARNIVAL OF CRIME
GEORGIA POLICE SEIZE GANG
SUSPECTED OF MURDER.
Bold Highwaymen Kill Three in Two
Weeks-First Killed Victims and
Then Rjfied Clothes.

The bloody carnival Of crime
which resulted in the murder OF three
men in two weeks in Columbus, Ca,
received a temporary check a fe"
days ago when the city and county
police caused the arrests of Son Per
kins, Dave Warner, Luther Babbett
and G.. J. Brooks, on charge Of muir
dering William P. Fiindsman, Roy
Palmer and Frank Allen. The men
we're arrested primarily for the slay-
ing at Allen, but the police have evil
dence which connects them with the
other two killings.
In addition to the three murders,
the accused men are suspected OF at
tempting number of hold-ups. That
the murders were committed with
robbery as the motive is indicated by
the fact that the pockets Of all three
men were turned inside out when
found.
The first murder committed in the
outskirts of Columbus was that Of W.
p. Hindsman, who was shot in the
back on the evening Of May %. His
body was found between Sixth and
Tenth avenues, robbed.
Ray Palmer, son Of Detective
James Palmer, was shot in the head
and killed early Sunday morning,
Jupo 7, while on the way homo from
seeing a brother. He was robbed of
50. His body was found near cem-
etery.
Frank Allen, the last victim, was
killed on the afternoon Of June 8, and
his body was found in piney woods
in the outskirts Of Columbus.
In addition to these murders, the
gang is suspected of attempting to
hold-up several negroes, of attempt
ing to kill a neighbor OF the Palmer
family, who caught them lying in
wait for the man they slew, and with
attempting to shoot witnesses who
happened to be nearby when Allen
was slain.
The arrest Of the four accused men
caused no end Of excitement in CO.
lumbus, where a few years ago the
sheriff Of the county and other jail
officials were slain while defending
prisoners suspected Of heinous
crimes. Sheriff Jesse Beard took no
chances when he learned Of the ar
rests and converted the Jail into q
veritable arsenal.

SHOULD PLANT SORGUM
w. r. Elliott Advises Farmers t.
to Cultivate This for Feed.

Mr.. W. R. Elliott, an authority
upon stock in this state and now is
connected with the work Of the Unit
ed States Department Of Agriculture
and Clemson College in extension
work, writes the following which
should interest every farmer:
II the farmers who pull fodder
would use sorgum for forage instead,
the corn yield OF South Carolina
would be increased several thousand
bushels. Nothing saves more money
on the farm than sorgum, and crop
of orange sorgum can be planted any
time from April 1st. to July 18th,
and II schocked just before killing
frost, will remain green until the fol-
lowing spring. Stock relish it and
thrive on it, and In food value it is
far superior to fodder, and much
more nourishing. When stock are
doing light work sorgum alone can
be fed, keeping them in fine condi-
tion.
Thousands OF tons Of hulls are pur-
chased yearly by farmers for cattle
fedding during the winter, while sor-
gum can be used as substitute and
eaten with a relish by the cattle:
One acre producing anywhere from
eight to fifteen tons of green food.
Prepare land as for cotton and fer
tilize with soda, meal, fish scraps,
etc, to produce good. stalk. One
peck of seed per acre is ample, and
when up to stand should be thinned
to a hoes breadth to insure good
growth and large stalks. Stalks the
size OF mans thumb, If shocked be-
fore frost, will hold the sap from
October until March. Small stalks
dry out and become too woody.
Dairymen who have no silos will
find sorgum an excellent fC> 4 by run
ming it through food cutter and
mixing in meal.
Increase you corn yield by allow
ing the fodder to die on the stalks,
and grow sorgum instead. Cut out
your hull bill this coming winter by
preparing land now and seeding it
to sorgum; shock it up tightly this
fall and tie binder twine around the
TOP, and it will remain good all win
ter in the field. II house room is
convient it can be stood on end and
packed tight until house is full, but
if allowed to fall down it will soon
heat and spoil. Four good acres Will
feed ten good COWS from October IN
til February, or two fifths OF an acre
per cow.

that he was a Thoroughbred" and
that his opponent was a razor
back" and that his opponent could
never be fattened.
The senator also likened his oppo-
nent to the famous steamboat on the
Mississippi, the whistle Of which
was so big and the boiler so little
that when it blew it had to stop
1t had also been charged that the
senator was a man of one idea.
''There is but one sun, yet all the
light and the heat and the plain
food come from this" he answered.
"Just wait until I develop my one
idea and you'll see its relation to the
homes, to the school houses and to
the shoes for the little children's
feet
The crowd day was composed
largely of farmers and Senator Smith
went extensively into the time exten-
sion feature of the new banking and
currency law designed soley for the
benefit of the farmers. He also TOOK
up in detail the Standardization OF
grades and explained how this would
enable theproducer to know at least
the quality Of cotton he was throw
ing on the market. At no place
where the party has yet been did the
senator's arguments receive a more
thoughtful hearing nor at any place
have there been more enthusiastic
supportsers charging the stand when
the meeting was concluded to speak
to Senator Smith and clasp his hand,

in the loss of two fingers and a part
of the thumb on the left hand.
Mistaking some dynamite caps,
which were given him by a child IL
the neighborhood, for blank pistol
cartridges, he and several little COM
nanions proceeded to rub them to

SENATE VOTES TO WORK
WILL STAY on THEIR JOBS UN-
TIL BILLS ARE PASSED.
Should it Become Necessary Caucus
May Make Party Question Of Anti
Trust Measures.

Senate Democrats in conference
late Wednesday adopted resolution
declaring their purpose to stay in
passed by the House has been acted
upon in the Senate. The resolution
does not bind senators to vote for
the bills without change.
The resolution is designed to serve
definite and final notice to business
and the country that antitrust legis-
lation is to be passed before congress
quits Washington. It was proposed
by Senator Stone, after a taik with
President Wilson and with other
Democratic 4aders. Senator Stone
said it was intended as an answer to
the propaganda for immediate ad-
iournment OF congress.
If party leaders decide in the fu-
ture that it will be necessary to make
party measures of the three House
bills or the, substitutes offered for
them, another conference will be
held for the purpose of binding DEM
ocrats to definite legislation. Some
senators thought the resolution
might bind senators to vote for the
bills, but Senator Kern, chairman Of
the conference, declared such was
not it's purpose and clause stating
this in specific terms was adopted.
The resolution says: Resolved,
That the conference of Democratic
senators, after due consideration,
hereby declares that the present ses-
sion of congress should not adjourn
until at least the following bills now
pending in the Senate have been fin
ally disposed Of" 1t names the
trade commission, the railroad Sc
curities, and the Clayton antitrust
bills as the measures to be included.
The explanatory clause attached to
the resolution reads:
"The resolution hereinbefore a.
dopted is intended merely as an ex-
preston of the purpose of the major
ity party in reference to adjourn
ment." Senators who hope to get
away from Washington within six
weeks or two months found comfort
in the announcement from the con-
ference that Senator Kern, majority
leader, will ask the senate to hold
might sessions next week.
At the same time Senator Lewis,
the Democratic "whip," was instruct
ed to keep a quorum present at all
times. These facts indicate an in
tention by the majority to press the
trade commission bill to vote as
soon as possible and to put the ap-
preparation bills through when oppor-
tunity offeder The trade commis-
sion bill is before the senate and a
vote may be asked any day.
The railroad securities bill and the
Clayton bill still are in committee,
but it is possible that one may be
reported as soon as it becomes ap-
parent the commission bill is near
passage. Some leaders hope ad-
journment can be taken with the pro-
gramme complete by August 20 or
September /.
The conference was harmonious.
Several senators expressed dissatis-
faction with provisions in some of
the bills, but it was made clear no
one was bound to vote for any par
ticular bill.

TONS CONDITION NOTED
Big Yield INDICATED
Government Cotton Crop Condition
Report Is Issued and Shows Splen-
did Condition of Growing Crop
Products Are for Largest Acreage
and Crop as Large as Last Year.

/ ~~~~SS
With the second largest acreage
ever recorded and with the prospects
of production probably equal to or
better than those of last year, the
growing cotton crop Of the United
States Wednesday was reported by
the department Of agriculture as be-
ing 1916 per cent. Of normal with
the area In cultivation as 36,960,000
acres.
The condition Of the crop is slight
ly more than per cent. under June
/. Bad weather early in the season
caused damage in some sections, but
during June conditions In those
localities improved greatly. In Texas,
where on May 25 the condition was
65 per cent normal, the June Is re-
port showed a condition Of "a per
cent; in Oklahoma it improved from
| 6S to 70, in North Carolina from 76
to 50 and in South Carolina from 70
to 81.
The area in cultivation is 498,000
acres, or 1:3 per cent. less than the
revised acreage in cultivation year
ago. Oklahoma reported an s per
cent. decrease and Texas and Virginia
la per cent. decrease. In California
the area was more than doubled and
Louisiana reported an increase Of 10
per cent. in acreage.
The month began with one OF the
severest droughts ever known in the
eastern portions Of the cotton belt.
It greatly retarded growth Of early
planted cotton and delayed the ger
mination of late planted. In the
western portions of the belt the first
week of the month was excessively
wet. This prevented any improve
ment in the plants and made cultiya-
ton and planting difficult.
Better conditions prevailed during
the second week, the plant making
good progress in the eastern and CEN
trail portions of the belt, while the
western portion had the most favor
able weather for several weeks.
During the third week local show
ers in the central and eastern por-
tions of the belt greatly improved the
outlook and early planted cotton gem
orally was reported in good condi-
ton, but later planted was backward
and needed rain. Highly favorable
weather continued in the western
part of the belt.
The final week Of the month was
reported as the most favorable thus
far this season, good rains having
fallen over much of the central and
eastern portions and the plant having
made excellent growth. Over the
western portions warmth, with occa-
sional showers, permitted rapid
growth and the outlook greatly Inn
proved. Boil weevil were reported as
numerous in Louisiana, Mississippi
and Alabama. ~
