new TYPE ALFALFA
FOR EASTERN SOIL

That alfalfa may be grown sue
cessfully in the hard pan soils of the
East is the conclusion reached by ex-
perts after study of climate, soil and
conditions. "a particular type of
seed for every soil and every climate"
is one of the axioms of modern farm
ing, and experts assert that many
failures of alfalfa crops in the East
have been because the seed used has
been adapted neither to the climate
nor the soil. A type of plant recently
has been developed that will thrive in
the East.
1t is pointed out that the variations
in alfalfa are shown in the general
hardness of the plant, the root sys
TEN, the place where the buds start
out, and the general ability of the
plant to resist unfavorable conditions.
Alfalfa is produced largely in the
West and Southwest under irrigation
and under conditions which make it
entirely possible for the grower to
control the water content in the soil.
thereby insuriug the proper moisture
condition necessary to the maturity
of the seed. Much of the seed planted
in the East comes from Southern
points, and is not desirable.
Observation has proved that tn,
types of alfalfa plant, which survived
and grew under Eastern conditions
We're those types with a spreadinRC
root system which could resist the
soil conditions and the alternate freez-l
ing and thawing of Eastern wipters. y
One authority says: There is al
tendency to a single tap root in alln
types of alfalfa. The difference be-
tween the various kinds is emphasized
by more or less striking difference
in the root structure of the plant;
The main consideration in choosing a
type of alfalfa is that the root struc-
ture of the type selected should be
adapted to the soil in which the seed
is to be planted
After much experimentation. the
crown root formation was developed.
This with its many side roots makes
it exactly the kind Of plant to adapt
itself to Eastern soil and climatic
conditions and has solved the problem
of Eastern winter kill"

Queenstown, Aug. 20.-United
States Consul Thompson stated this
morning that there were 81 Ameri-
can citizens among the cabin and
steerage passengers aboard the Ara

for here.
Capt. Finch gave the Associated
Press a detailed account of the loss
of the liner.
"We were At miles south of Galley
Head, at $50 o'clock this morning."
he said, when l perceived the steam
err Dunsley in difficulty. Going to-
wards ner, I observed a torpedo COM
ing for my ship, but could not dis
Germ a submarine. The torpedo struck
100 feet from the stern, making ter
rible havoc of the hull. The vessel
began to settle Immediately and
sank in about eight minutes. .
"My order from the bridge about
getting the boats launched was
promptly obeyed. Two boats capsized.
We had taken every precaution while
in the danger zone. There were plenty
of life belts on deck and the boats
were ready for immediate launching.
The officers and crew all behaved ex-
cellently and did everything possible
in the circumstances, getting people
into the boats and picking up those
in the esa.

plunge into the sea as the ship was
going down. After being in the water

SUPREME COURT
ALLOWS PROHIBITION
AFTER HEARING BOTH SIDES
JUSTICES AND JUDGES
DISMISS INJUNCTION
columbia Record)

In an unanimous order the Justices
of the supreme court and the judges
If the circuit courts, after devoting
the morning to hearing the appeal of
John Henry Chappell, of Newberry,
FOR an injunction to issue against the
prohibition referendum to be held on
September Ia, dismissed the appeal
shortly after the session had adjourn
ed sine die.
1t is said here that anti-prohibition-
lists will not further try to stop the
election, but should it carry, they
will carry it to the federal supreme
court in the endeavor to have the
bill authorizing it adjudged unconsti-
tutional in that it ~contravenes the
federal instrument.
The main contention of the attor-
neys of Mr.. Chappell was that the
bill authorizing the referendum is
unconstitutional in that the legisla-
ture attempts to delegate its duties
to the people. Arguments for the ap-
pellate were made by former Cover
nor Blease and F. G.. Tompkins, of
Columbia, while the respondents
named in the petition were repre-
sented by F. H. Dominick, assistant
attorney general, and T. H. Peoples,
attorney general. The prohibition
lists were represented by D. W. Rob-
inson, of Columbia, and w. B. De-
Loach, of Camden.
The suit was brought against R.
Nj. McCown, secretary of State; S. T.
Carter, state treasurer; C. W. Saw
yer, comptroller general, and c. T.
Graydon, Warren Thomas and j. F.
Howell, commissioners of election for
Richland county.
The prohibitionists consider the
dismissal of the suit a great victory.

buyers of being dishonest, but that
they transacted business as other men
and bought as cheaply as possible.
He explained the system by which
he proposed to have money borrowed
in the North upon negotiable ware
house receipts when his plan is final
ly adopted. He believed this money
should be obtained through the local
banks. He says the money can be
borrowed in New York at 4: percent
and that the local banks should charge
n additional 2 percent for handling
the matter for the farmers. This
would be a benefit, not only to the
farmer, who wishes to borrow upon
his cotton, but to the Southern banks
themselves, in that their debts would
be paid and deposits increased. He
stated that he had arranged last year
to raise money with which to finance
the cotton crop, if the Legislature had
adopted his recommendations in his
annual report, but it was prevented
by the Legislature.
He went into an intricate discus
sion of the manner by which this
money could be obtained and explain
ed the system at some length. The
Plan will likely be outlined more de-
fnitely and thoroughly than we can
do here and for that reason we DO
rot undertake to give his plan IN de-
tail.
He spoke also on the insurance rate
on cotton and stated that he had sue
ceeded in having the rate lowered
whenever the farmers would huilc
warehouses, according to specifica-
tons prepared by him, and have same
placed under a Manager named by
the State Warehouse Commissioner,
which Manager the farmers themsel;-
yes might designate.
Speaking again of the interest
rate upon. money borrowed on cot
ton, he said that it vas necessary for
the Southern bankers to charge
large rates of interest because they
were forced to pay high rates of in
terest in the North on account OF the
class of security held by the South
ern banks, consisting of mortgages
On old mules, automobiles, buggies,
etc. This condition could be RENE
died according to his plan of hav-
ing negotiable warehouse receipts
issued for every bale of cotton IN
the South, thereby creating a more
stable security and one easily con-
vertable into money.
Commissioner McLaurin is n OF
the ablest men of the State. He has
nothing of the demagogue about his
speeches and his plans promise to be
of benefit to the people, if they can
be matured. His plan of financing
the cotton crop of the South deserv-
es the study and careful consideration
of every thoughtful business man.
Whether it can be worked out as he
thinks or not, we car not say, but 1t
has much of promise in it deserving
of attention.

Although lCaly uecldleu Wal VII
.Aus1ria May "a, there has been
zsny declaration of war between Italy
and Germany nor, until now, be-
tween Italy and Turkey.
E1artion between Turkey and Italy,
p17sever, has been in evidence since
asfzS.rfly after the fatter's entry into
var. Early in June there were re-
psw1s that Italian consAs gradually
u leaving Turkey. Later charges
wsse made that the Ottoman govern
rsn. Yves preventing consuls from
Yeas1ng and that similar coercion was
Asssrzrs ,sxerted over Italian civilians
wEp wished to quit Turkish soil.
On July 80 advices said Italy had
addressed a note to the United States
smssang it to use it's influence to pro-
1t2ex.t Italian subjects in Turkey. The
cxHnplaint that they were being
HnaEented from leaving was reiterat-
ca
On August 8 the Italian ambassa-
eNsr A Constantinople made another
xssoGest to Turkey relative to the at
5iaude of Ottoman authorities towards
E1z3san subjects. 1t was stated Ital-
Isr consuls still were being detained
NE Turkey. At that time tension be-
tween Turkeya nd Italy was becom-
SBey more acute daily.
1t was announced on August 4 that
.xssJy had asked for categorical expla-
s1sI5ons concerning Turkeys al
Keyed refusal to withdraw her troops
fnurn the Syrenica district in Tripoli
zasa1 it was charged Turkey was pur-
S1Ing what was described as her
Izs1a' policy of procrastination.
In official circles in Rome the feel
Trg was that Italy's last note to Tur-
.Eey was almost an ultimatum. It
rvsss then reported that a declaration
OF war by Italy would be simultane-
GUYS with the sending of about $50, 900
Epen to aid Franco-British troops on
FIR Gallipoli peninsula.
II was announced on August 10
that a strong squadron of Italian
-szWsers was in readiness to sail from
laramie, Italy, at a moments notice.
hS mas stated the warships probably
wSru1ld be sent against Turkey if the
Xafter declined to satisfy Italy's de-
x72aDrs for release of Italian subjects
held in the Ottoman empire.
At a meeting of the Italian cabi-
pRt Friday Baron Sonnino, the for
leigh minister, presented an exhaust
zsEe report on the Turkish situation.
1H declared Turkish provocations
rsHz0 Income intolerable. The cabinet
session was kept secret but later it
Nwas learned the Italian minister at
SLanstantinople had been instructed
@'se aand to the porte a note asking for
aa formal catagoric statement as to
departure of Italians from Turkish
possessions. 1t was unoficially stat
's=t that the note was in the nature of
=z ultimatum and that a reply was
expected Saturday.
