The announcement of the Sugar
Company that it intends to erect a
big alfalfa meal mill on the factory
grounds is certainly a piece OF
good news to the farmers of Finney
and adjoining counties. The build
ing of this mill will perhaps later on
develope into the business OF mixed
feed factory There is plenty OF ka fiji
corn grain which is equal tocorn, and
with the dried beet pulp, alfalfa
meal and molasses produced by the
sugar company, the logical thing to
do will be to mix the feed before
shipping. The building of the new
railroad will put the farmers of west
ern Kansas in close touch with a
ready market and altogether the
future of this section looks very
bright. Garden City Herald.

War and Dueling

1t is impossible to bind the nations
to keep the peace. Enduring peace
must come by persuasion. 1t can
never come by compulsioR. Every
peace scheme of federation of states,
an international arbitration court,
and the like, will be futile so long as
the nations individually believe their
highest interests in given case re-
quires war. Dueling persisted long
after it was forbidden by law under
heavy penalties Any mans highest
interest is his own self-respect.
When self-respect, reacting to the
dominant opinion of the community,
required him to accept challenge,
he fought regardless of law
Nobody saw the stupidity of duel
ing more clearly than Hamilton, or
its cruelty brought home to him by
the death of his SON. Yet he met
Burr at Weehawken, because to have
refused-prevalent opinion of his
time and class being what 1t was
would have cost him something dear
er to him than life. A man like
Hamilton, reacting to that state OF
opinion, would have fought regard
less Of any law or penalty. Short of
physical restraint, it would have been
impossible TO bind him to keep the
peace Time soon came when prev
alent opinion rejected dueling as
merely stupid and british; when the
duelist was regarded not as man If
honor but as troublesome fool.
When That state of opinion prevailed
no law was necessary to prevent
duels.
Certainly nothing has been made
clearer in the last year than that
European nations still believe their
highest interest in given cases re-
quires war. AS long as that idea
prevails it is impossible to bind the
nations to keep the peace. Time
will come, we firmly believe-and in
the not very far distant future
when war will be rejected by civilized
nations, just as dueling has been by
individuals; not because in involves
loss of life and money, for many
things richly worth while involve
loss of life and money, but because
under modern conditions 1t is stupid
and futile, always defeating itself;
always costing more than can be
gained by it. Reducing military OPP
erations to the mere police status of
restraining Haiti or a Mexico will
then come about of itself.-Saturday

Mandamus Also Issues.

SCI therefore conclude says the de-
cree, that the tax commission is with
out authority under the act to assess
the property of Shareholders in a

method of taxing this class of prop
cry authorized by law, and that an
effort upon their part to assess the
property and franchises of bank,
which they are alone apparently au-
thorized by the act to do, would con-
travene the constitution of South Car
olina and the act of congress.
'It is therefore ordered, adjudged
and decreed that the plaintiff is en-
titled to the relief demanded in the
complaint.
cit is further ordered that a writ
of mandamus do issue from this court,

Vanderbilt! "Come, let us save the

words of Alfred Vanderbilt, standing

going down to an unknown and un-
marked grave, says Leslie's. When an
answer to this simple act Of genuine
heroism to those w3o are everlastingly

inscrutable wisdom Of an over-ruling
Providence they were permitting to
emerge?

BECKER GRANTED GRACE.
Execution Postponed Until Friday
Plea Before Court.

New York, July 26.-On Supreme
Court Justice Ford's request for more
time to consider the application for
a. new trial made by Charles Becker,
under death sentence for instigating
the murder of Herman Rosenthal, ex-
ecution of the former police lieutenant
was postponed tonight from Wednes-
day until Friday.
Justice Ford heard arguments on
the application and reserved decision,
giving counsel until noon tomorrow to
file briefs. Tonight the justice request
ed Warden Osborne of Sing Sing prison
to postpone the execution. AS the elec-
trocution can take place legally any
day this week at the warden's discre-
ton, the request was granted.
Justice Ford announced today that
he would decide tie case as quickly
as possible. Tonight it was said ne
might not finish his deliberation be-
fore Tuesday or Wednesday.
An attempt by Becker's attorneys to
have the condemned man, as we'll as
the authors of several afidaVits, al
legged to contain new evidence, and Il e
persons mentiond in them, called to
the witness stand in the proceedings.
failed for the time being at least. Jus"
tice Ford stated that he saw no neces-
sity for calling witnesses.
."In view of the fact that the State
t3at contended these afidavits are not
new evidence, propose to accept them
on their face value" he said.
Justice Ford then fixed tomorrow
noon as the expiration of time for
fling briefs, if any are to be filed.
Assistant District Attorney Taylor,
VINO opposed Becker's appeal, declared
the court only could grant Becker a
new trial on the ground of newly dis
covered evidence, and declared that
none of tie afidavits contained new
evidence.

Mr.. COOPER TO MAKE RACE.
Anderson Daily Mail Quotes Him As
Saving He viii ''If Certain
Conditions Exist"

The Anderson Daily Mail published
the following Saturday:
Hon. Robert A. Cooper of Laurens
practically declared Saturday mornins
that he will be a candidate for gov
ernor of SouSh Carolina next summer
He and Mrs. ]. S. Meacham arrived in
their automobile from Laurens Friday
night and remained in Anderson this
morning, wi. en- they departed for Iva.
Mr.. Cooper addressed the Iva 'chau-
tauqua this morning on the subject Of
education.
"Mr. Cooper, will you be a candidate
for governor next summer?' asked a
representative of the Daily Mail.
>"I will be candidate for governor
if certain conditions exist" he replied
quickly. And the smile that followed
this remark strongly indicated that Ice
had received assurances tnat those
conditions" exist now and will con-
tinue to exist.
Mr.. Cooper has received many as
surances of support from people who
never supported him in the last elec-
ton if he will enter tie race next
summer. While the representative OF
this newspaper was talking WITH him
several Anderson men came up and
igrasped his hand and said they did
not vote for or support him last sum-
mer, but t ey would certainly do both
in the coming election.
A Cooper sentiment seems to have
developed in all sections of the State
during the past few weeks. By many
he is considered the. strongest Of all
the candidates who may be in the race.
Everybody knows what Mr.. Cooper
meant WI en- he said he would be can
didate eff certain conditions exist" and
now since the public will be in
formed that he is available no doubt
strong prtssure will be brought to bear
on him from all sections of the State
to have announced his candidacy. And
the general opinion is that le will an
nounce himself in due time.

FARMERS PROSPEROUS
IN PIEDMONT SECTION
Col. Watson Says That Crop COndi-
tions Are Superb and Every
body Is Happy.

The Record, 9th.
During the past week I have trav-
eled through the upper Piedmont Sec
tion-Newberry Union, Spartanburg,
Pickens, Oconee, Laurens and Horny
counties-and 1 have never seen crop
conditions better in South Carolina,
except in a little streak of Laurens
county and a slow fruiting cotton in
parts of Oconee county. In fact, the
crops are the, best I have ever seen.
Tne corn crop il the lower part Of the
State is superb.
The foregoing were the observations
of Col. E. J. Watson, State commission
cr of agriculture, today on his trip
through ire upper part of the State,
made last week. The commissioner
says that the farmer is very optimistic
and he is raising his foodstuffs at home
more tLaG ever before in the history
of thu STATE
Col. Watson states that the cnau-
tauquas being held in TIE Piedmont
section are being largely attended,
and the great crowds are asking ques-
tions relative to correct agriculture
and the problems met on the farm.
They seem in dead earnest, he says,
and are grasping after knowledge,
both practical and theoretical. "This
State is in the midst of an agricul-
tural revolution says the commits
sioner.
The commissioner says that he saw
farm wagons all along the roads either
taking wheat to the mills or bringing
the finished product from the mills to
their homes. almost everywhere one
goes ne will find everybody eating
bread made from homegrown wheat,
and many towns have excluded all
bread except that produced from wheat
raised in South Carolina" states Col
Watson.
For the first time in his life, Col.
Watson says, a few days ago ne saw
farmer taking alfalfa hay to market

RED SPIDER Is TAKING
THE WARPATH ONCE MORE
Little Insect Threatening Cotton May
Be Controlled by Burning StllkS
and by Spraying.

Clemson College, July 29.-Reports
coming to Clemson college indicate
that the cotton red spider is threaten
ing serious damage to cotton in many
parts of the State and the entomology
division Of the college has issued a
statement of control measures which
will help farmers to avoid tie ravages
of the tiny insect.
The red spider is a very small, red
dish, spinning mite on the under sides
Of cotton leaves. 1t is injurious dur
ing dry weather AS soon as dry
weather sets in, begin to watch for
the mite. 1t is not lard to recognize
it. Infested leaves become deep red on
their upper surfaces. By looking on
the under surfaces of suca leaves one
can notice the red spiders moving
about. The earliest sign is merely a
blood red spot on the upper surface
of the leaf
TIE lower leaves of the plant are af-
fected first. The red spider spreads By
crawling and is also carried by birds
domestic animals, workmen and wind.
The leaves that it attacks become dis
torted and brittle and drop off, thus
weakening the plant. Several species
of insects attack the mite and in some
seasons do much good, but man must
do the greatest part of the preventive
work iLimself.
The red spider has over fifty food
plants, among the most important of
which the violets, jimson weed, poke
weed, cowpea, bean, okra, wild black
berry and other common plants. Vio-
let and poke weed are especially dan
gerous because they afford winter
food for the insect AS a preventive
measure against red spider, keep down
weeds so far as practical and guard
specially against having violets or
poke weed anywhere near a cotton
field
At the first sign of red spider, pull
up all infested plants and burn them.
When large patches in the field have
become infested, use one Of the red
spider sprays. Potassium sulfde and
lime sulfur solution are considered the
best of these. Potassium sulide may
be bought at drug stores and is used
at the rate Of pounds to 100 gallons
of water. Lime sulfur solution, unless
made at home IS for orchards, is not
so easily obtained locally. 1t is used
at the rate Of one gallon to 80 gallons
of water (this is the same solution
that is USED for scale in orchards.)
For small spots, bucket pump is
sufficient. For larger areas, use bar
rel pump, if tie plants are not too
large Equip the pump with fine noz-
zles, as when spraying fruit trees.
About one hundreds gallons of the
spray is required for an acre. Three
acres can be sprayed with care in one
day. In spraying, be sure to spray
thoroughly the under sides of leaves
and also the plants nearest to the in
tested spot.

START PEACE MOVEMENT
IN DISTRACTED MEXICO

Washington, July 27.-Efforts to
bring about conference of military
leaders in Mexico, in anticipation of
final appeal to factional leaders by
the United States, are reported under
way in the southern republic.
Information reacted Washington to-
night tnat troops of various factions
were consulting their leaders with a
view to assembling a peace conference
either with or without Gen. Carranza,
There also were intimations 1iat the
administration was considering asking
Carranza to reconsider his refusal to
participate in the peace negotiations
President Wilson urged two months
ago.
Diaz Lombardo, Gen. Villas foreign
secretary, who came to Washington to
study the attitude Of the Washington
government, is reported to have re-
turned to Torreon to consult with his
chief. Gen. Felipe Angeles, Villas
chief military adviser, recently in
Washington, is enroute to Nogales to
procure Gen. Maytorena's assurance
+. at ne and his adherents will join in
deliberations to plan for restoration
of constitutional government and ulti-
mate recognition by the United States.
Manuel Calderon, ambassador to
the United States in Madero's regime
and not actively allied with Carranza,
Villa or Zapata, is said to be inter-
ested in proposal to unite all the fac
tions, and should Carranza again re-
fuse to join a peace conference to
support a conference of representa-
tives of all other factions.
An arms embargo was said tonight
to be contemplated as part of the
next step of tie Washington govern
ment.
Mexico City remained cut off from
the outside world today, despite eff
forts to get word of actual conditions
there. Reports that Carranza forces
had returned to the capital lacked Of
fetal confirmation.
The Carranza agency asserted tnat
Gen. Gonzales already had reac1ed
the outskirts of the capital and would
re-enter the city. 1t also stated that
Gen. Obregon had seized San Luis
Potosi and would be joined by Gen.
Trevino from Monterrey preparatory
to a new offensive against Torreon
Troops from the interior also were re-
ported arriving at Vera Cruz to be
transported by boat to Tampico and
thence overland to Monterey.
Carranza troops have evacuated
Naco, leaving civil administration.
Their action relieves threatening sit
uation in which Mai. Gen. Funston had
orders to shell the Mexican factions
away from the border if their fighting
endangered American territory.
Consul Canada at Vera Cruz report
ed today that eight Mexican naval YES
sells were moving troops coming from
the interior.
