the saucer shape, or pond-llke and has no convenient outlet for dit ching, the trouble can be over come sometimes by boring or digging we'll in the lowest spot and fllin the well with poles or broken rock. If the well goes down deep enough it will often draw the water off. By clearing ditches or digging new ones dsr- ing the wet weather the running water is very helpful in determi- ming the grade required to run the water off properly. In run ming your ditches it is always to follow as nearly as possible the natural drain already in existence unless it makes the course too crooked. A ditch should be as nearly straight as possible and 1t will pay well in the long run Tn following the natural course of the fall of the water if you will cut through the high places and blow out the stumps and trees in
 the way and make the ditch
 straight. or nearly so. A straight ditch will carry off the water
 faster than a crooked one will,
 and will not fill up as easily.
 If you have hogs, plant an acre
 of soy beans, and also patch ot
 sorghum for hog pasture. Plant
 the soy beans in a drill in rows about three feet apart and blow
 them out like corn, using side
 harrows for the later eultlFauons.
 Plant about the middle of Aprli, When the beans begin to get ripe
 turn the hogs in and watch then
 grow and fatten. If the soy bear
 ripen and fall on the ground they will not damage, and the hogs
 will get them. Soy beans wll
 make you a fine hay crop, too aaC will do well if you sow then } broadcast like peas. The sorg hum patch should be used for hol ? pasture during August when pas { lures are dry and barren. Plan I the sorghum in time for 1t to b' ' large enough to turn the hogs on by the first of August.

Advices from Washington state that an
official of the State Department says, firstly
if it can be proved that it was without the
sanction Of this Government that Won Horn
committed his crime in Canada and fed to
the United States, he can be extr0dited,
and secondly, if it can be proved that he
acted as an agent of his Government the
United States will probably punish him for
using its territory as a base for military oper-
atoms and will protest to Germany.
Won Horn has not been identified upon
the German service lists, but is reported to
be the eldest son Of Count Karl Won Horn,
8 former Minister for War of Bavaria, a
personal Adjutant of the King of Bavaria
and a General in that army. The prisoner
was an officer in the Bavarian army, with
the rank of q Captain of pioneers. He was
the "black sheep" of the family and re-
signed from the army several years ago on
account of unpleasant n~otoriety over fnan-
cial matters.
The bridge is now carrying trains, but
even if It had been entirely demolished the
practical result would merely have been
the addition of an hour to two hours and
a half to the running time of the Canadian
Pacific trains carrying provisions and re-
cruits to hated Britain, and hence it does
not appear that such an act of wal could
have been planned by the General Staff Of
the German army.
\ despatch from Vanceboro quotes Won
Horn as having said, on being arrested 81
did not bring any dynamite with me to
Vanceboro. When T arrived, I had none but
there was an arrangement that dynamite
would be delivered to me in time to blow up
the bridge this morning, and late last night
I met a man who came to my room at The
hotel. I had never seen him before, but he
gave NE a quantity of dynamite and left
Immediately. then went out and blew up
the bridge, and if it had not been SO cold
l would have gone to Lambert Lake bridge
on the Marine Central and blown that up

London, Feb. 4th-A French official com
munique states: Between the Lys and the
Disc, IN the sector of Nouvelle, west of Lens,
the French batteries put an end to a
spirited fusilade from the enemy. The Ger
mans endeavoured to float down the river
Ancre some blazing RATS, starting them
from a point above Avoluy, which is north
Of Albert, but we were successful in stopping
these floats before they exploded. Our ar
tillery continues to secure excellent results.
In the valley Of the Aisne we have made
slight progress, taken prisoners, and repulsed
81 counter-attack west of Hill number 200,

Sunday, but the possession of q small
farm is still undecided. South of the
Pilica river, near Dounaietz, the enemy's
fire increased in intensity, his bombardment
continuing night and day, but the attempt
of his troops to progress were without sue

tinued on Sunday and Monday and our forces
advanced fighting along a broad front from
the Dukla Pass as fur as the lower San, hav-

cannon, two mortars. Il number of rapid
frers and numerous prisoners, An offensive
movement undertaken by the enemy south
of the Uzsok Pass was repulsed with enor-
nous losses. The news relative to the trans
portation OF German troops to the Carpathian
front finds confirmation in the fact that Oh
Tuesday southeast of the Beskid Pass, we
destroyed a battalion of the 224th German
regiment, a emnant of which, notably the
battalion and company commanders and 20
soldiers were made prisoners.
A German oficial statement SAYS 'The
attacks made by the French on the German
positions near Perthes were repulsed. On

Ambassador at Washington reading, II was
arrested here for blowing up the Canadian
end Of the bridge at Vancebo'o between
Maine and Canada. I am held here bv the
Attorney General of Maine, at the request
of the Canadian authorities, who are trying

Many Canadian detectives have arrived at
Vance boro looking for facts connecting Won
Horn with an extraditable %offense. They
say his confession describes a life ofense in
Canada aud that he is eXtraditable under the
Treaty. The United States law is similar
the only possible defense being that his
effort to cut the railway through which his
country's enemy receives munitions Of war
and reinforcements is a political %offense.

SOCIETY DEPARTMENT.

1t is interesting to the good women
CT a community to have their social
functions written for the newspapers.
me average man, one of which this
editor is, knows very little about So
ciety as it is Yet he realizes that
it interests the good women and 1t
sas always been his pleaure to try to
GO those things which the good women
desired him to do. So we are going
to try to have society department in
the Herald and News and we ask the
cooperation of the women Of the COM
11unity and if We can get that We feel
cure that we will be able to make the
ocial column very interesting one
20 the women and they are the good
Eeople who keep the newspaper going.
n fact they keep the world moving.
Mrs. James L. Aull will nave charge
e that department and in her behalf we
@sk you when you have any function
TO give her the tip and she will do
the rest. We would like to have the
opy for Tuesday on Saturday and for
Friday on Wednesday but send it any
se,me most convenient to you. You
may phone either No. or No. 76 and
we will try to have the item taken
IT either place. Give US your coopera-
ton and assistance and we will make
this column of great interest to you
and all the readers Of The Herald
and News. The old man may say that he
does not care about society but you
watch him and you will find tnat he
is just as anxious as you about these
happenings.

Gov. Manning in his talk to the edi-
tors spent the greater portion of the
time in discussing the situation in
Charleston and telling what had been
done and mis- determination to see
that the liquor law was enforced or
observed in Tat city at any cost We
understand his intimation that he had
other means which would probably be
drastic that he could use and would
use if the law could not otherwise be
enforced, to mean that he would resort
to the injunction
OF course Charleston should be
made to obey the law. In fact it
should not be necessary to have to
say made, but we would rather see
some violation of the law in Char
lesion than to see government by in
junction. That kind of thing would
strike at the very foundation of our
government and just like the violation
of one law leads easily to the viola
ton of other laws the injunction in
the liquor business would easily lead
to it's application to other laws and
We would. soon have our liberties
taken away.

Mr. Reid Whitford of Charleston
submitted plan to the members OF
the Press association for system
IF State highways which deserves the
consideration of tie people of the
State. 1t seems to US that one of the
most important problems before the
paople of this State today is the i'm
3rovement Of the highways and the
building of some highways. 1t is a
act that we have no roads and that
re are literally wasting thousands Of
ollars each year under the system OF
ather lack of system which We have
for this important work. You talk
about schools and rural life and i'm
proving conditions in the country.
There will be no Improvement to
;:mount to anything or that is much
worth while until we build some
roads. what good are your
chool if we have no roads to reach
them.
Then Mr.. Lever very truly talked
about the great cost of the produce OF
ne farm to consumer and u1e great
mount of the cost being from the
time 1T leaves the producer until ii
reaches the consumer. One of these
3rains is the bad roads or in many
5laces no roads at all. We expect to
haEe more to say about this subject
from time to time. And Gov. Man
ring in his talk of one and half
hours never mentioned the subject.
We verify, believe If we had better
roads there, would be less violation
of law It. is a very live subject.

European and the Haitien situations.
He was in communication with Sec
retarv Lansing and other Washington
officials. There was no indication to-
night that any of the business brought
before him was Of such nature as
to take him back to Washington.
Mr.. Wilson was notified of the ar
rest on the Mexican border of Vic
toriano Huerta but the investigation
of the charges against the former
Mexican dictator and his prosecution
will be left to department Of justice
officials.
The president declined to comment
on reports from Berlin indicating that
Germany's reply to the last American
note on submarine warfare would be
favorable.
The president went for long auto
mobile ride today. He spent most of
tie evening at the Summer White
House" playing pool and reading and
talking.
President Wilson settled down today

after breakfast took motor ride Of
20 miles for a game of golf On the

Gov. Manning in mis- address to the
editors this week took the same posi-
tion as to punishment of criminals
that The Herald and News has fre-
quently expressed, that punishment is
not simply for the sake of corporal
punishment. That it should look to
the reform Of the criminal. Tie max
ing of him a better man. That be-
ing the case there should not be so
much opposition to the granting OF
paroles. Gov. Manning's position is an
endorsement Of DE granting OF
paroles in cases where it is found that
the punishment has accomplished the
purpose for which punishment should
be inflicted, namely the reform of the
criminal. And in that position tie
governor is correct.

THE COOK ROLLER MILL.

Some time ago there appeared in
tfS.e local columns of The Herald and
News an item referring to roller flour
mills in Newberry county. This item

spoke of the mill at Kinards and the
schumpert mill, end the Newberry

ones in Newberry county.
The Cook mill below Prosperity in
No. 9 township was the first one to
Re built in T1e county and it was up
