CRIMSON CLOVER

One of the subjects that came up
for discussion at the Campbell re-
union yesterday was crimson clover,
and as the Campbell boys" Messrs.
r. L., I. H., and A. L., are generally
recognized by their friends and neigh
bors to be among the most successful
farmers in York county, what they
have to say on the subject will be of
interest.
The question was as to how to get
q stand.
Mr.. r. L. Campbell said this:
Prepare your seed bed thoroughly
well. OF course you can do that best
| when you have some seaSon in the
ground; but you do not want to SOW
your seed on a S Leave the
seed bed to get as dry as a bone, then
SOW your seed on top of the ground
and do not cover The first good sea-
son that comes along will sprout your
seed and give you a good stand"
/. H. Campbell said:
THAT is all right enough; but If
after you have prepared the land well
and sowed your seed in the dust, you
get only a light season, your seed are
liable to sprout, grow off nicely, and
then If You do not get another season
in time, you have made a failure"
r. L. Campbell admitted the cor
rectness of this and so did A. l.. All
three agreed that there was no abso-
lutely certain method of getting a
good stand, and in spite Of everything
that can be done, the crop is some
times lost.
At the present time Messrs. r. l..
and A. L. Campbell have fine stands
of crimson clover in their corn fields.

TAI BUSY SESSION

Although the meeting Of the cOun-
ty board of commissioners which was
held here Wednesday, was only called
for the purpose of discussing with sew
eral township supervisors the ques-
ton of the cleansing Of streams and OF
finding out who had been delinquent in
the matter, there were a number OF
other matters to come before the meet
ing and the session lasted nearly al
day. Supervisors present were w. S
Percival, Bethesda; A. l.. Black, York
J.. S. PleXico. Bullock's Greek; r. NJ
Robinson. Kings Mountain. Broad
River and Fort Mill townships were
represented by proxy.
The several supervisors reported hat
quite a number of persons in Their
respective townships had not looked
after the clearance Of streams as they
should, and stated that some had good
excuses for their delinquency. 1t was
decided that the time for the cleaning
Of streams without penalty should be
extended to September s.
A strong delegation Of citizens from
BullOck's Creek township, presented
the following petition to the commits
~sioners, the petition being signed by
approximately 12S citizens Of the
township:
we, the undersigned citizens AND
taxpayers of Bullock's Creek township
respectfully petition your honorable
board to give Bullock's Creek town
ship the changing to widen the public
road from J. f. Latham's to B. f
ITrammel's, q distance of three and

one-half miles. The road is narrow
and in some places two buggies can
not pass. 1t Is impossible to do this
work with the township funds"
The petition was discussed at con-
siderable length by several members
of the road delegation and no doubt
was left in the minds Of any n that
improvements to the road mentioned
was badly needed. The commission
ers arrived at no definite conclusion In
the matter.
An agent Of the Taylor Waters Con-
struction Co. of Columbia, builders of
the new county home, was present to
discuss the matter Of repairing the
roof Of the building. AS has been
mentioned in The Enquirer before,
there are numerous leaks in the roof
of the building and although the struc-
ture has been declared finished by the
builders for several months, the county
home inmates have never been moved
into their new quarters and the county
has never fully paid for the home on
account Of the unsatisfactory condition
of the roof. 1t will be necessary to
recover practically the whole structure
and the understanding Is that the work
will be begun Monday.
Comptroller General Sawyer was
present and made his annual settle
ment with the supervisor. AS was the
case with the other officials, he found
everything in the office in good shape.

travellers and numerous Glover people
extended the glad hand" 1t was the
same way at Rock Hill where the
party was taken in charge by the
chamber Of and taken to the
hall Of that institution where refresh
ments were served and where there
were also a number Of citizens on hand
to meet them. Various kinds Of ad-
vertising matter was distributed along
the routes, advertising the coming at
fractions. The boosters say hat York
county's roads as a whole are in bet
ter condition than they thought. Sew
eral members Of the party were Of the
opinion that the only really bad road
which they travelled in their more than
100 mile journey, was that between
Tirzah and G~uthriesville. It WAS the
most extensive trip rel the county
which many of the party had ever
made and a number expressed sur
prise at the healthy condition Of the
crops and the general prosperity which
was evident on every side.

TWELVE CENT COTTON
Farmers Can Have it If They Will
Stand Steady.

The farmers of the south have the
cotton situation in their own hands, if
they will only manage wisely. With
a crop 5000, 600 bales short of last
years and 3,000,0 900 bales short of the
worlds expected demands for the COM
ing year (using up all this years crop
and $1,000 600 bales Of the worlds
present %surplus), we only need wise
marketing in order to make this years
short crop worth as much as last
years big one. Here, Is we see it, is
the situation in a nutshell:
/. Conditions justify twelve cents
for cotton. A prominent lawyer and
student of conditions says twenty
cents. The M~ecklenburg county, n.
c., Union says fifteen cents. We also
believe that if farmers were properly
organized, fifteen cents might be OBJ
tanned. But twelve cents seems to us
reasonable under present conditions,
and a price farmers should fight for
as a minimum.
2. Don't get scared by the contra
band" talk. Out of S,543,000 bales
exported in the year ending July 81,
1915, only 242,000 bales went to Ger
many, anyhow. The contraband plan
will hurt us somewhat and we must
fight it to a finish, but the announce
mcnt about it affected the cotton mar
ket but little. Contraband or no con-
traband, twelve cent prices are amply
justified.
8. Southern banks can finance the
crop. AS President Hirsch of the Tex
as Bankers association, told the big
Cotton States Conference of Southern
bankers in Galvcston: For the first
time in the history of the south, gen.
tlemen, the southern bankers have the
financial ability to market gradually
this crop. 1t would almost appear as
If the Federal reserve act had been
drafted for the benefit of southern
producers" Because the reserve act
doesn't give the farmers all the help
they need, is no reason for denying the
great advantage it does offer.
4. But it is not enough to have the
machinery for help; it must be used.
Proper warehousing is necessary to
make cotton prime collateral, and the
and advertise the fact that they will
use them. They should not passively.
but actively join the farmers in the
crusade to get us the worth Of our
crops. And to this end farmers in
every county should meet at once and
form a marketing association-or use
their county Union as a marketing as
sociation-and both see that ware
housing conditions are all right and
hat banks will help the farmers hold.
5. Don't overfeed the market. The
great need is to hold. The crop is
short, and the world wants cotton.
Hold your own crop, help your neigh
Dor to hold, and get your county or
ganiZed for holding.
Let every grower get busy in the

We are reproducing on the FIRST page
of today's paper an address OF former
Governor Blease Of South Carolina,
delivered before the Conference OF
Governors in Boston yesterday, on the
subject of pardons and paroles. with
all hat was heard or this subject in
| South Carolina during the foul years
of the administration Of Governor
| Blease, it would seem that the people
of the state ought to be pretty we'll adj
vised; but the governors, it appears
wanted to hear more. They had EVIL
IDENTIFY assumed that the stump talk
along this line was only vote getting
claptrap, and they wanted the real
philosophy on which former Govern
or Blease's remarkable pardon record
was based. The governors address
speaks for itself. 1t is able and inter-
esting and well worth the most care
full consideration Of all thoughtful
South Carolinians; those who think
like Mr.. Blease and those who do not
for however people may view the mat
ter, whether as reckless disregard OF
the established order Of things or as a
most courageous effort to bring about
a high and noble reform, 1t will be
many a year before the precedent that
Mr.. Blease has set will have been for
gotten.
