 1 Representative Davis of Walker opened I the debate the side. of the governor, 1 and made an able speech against the Fite amendment.
 He was asked by Representative Mer-
 ritt of Macon if he would support an 1 amendment allowing the peopie or the | state to elect members of the board of
 equalization.
 'T will if you will frame 1t in such a way and provide that the election shall
 be held at such time as it will not be a slap at Governor Henderson," was the reply.
 Are you going to bust open if you don't exercise all the power that ex- ists?" he asked
 In conclusion he said that Governor Henderson had probably made a great CT success in his private affairs than any man in the house, and that that | success in private life would indicate
 his fitness to appoint good men to office. eff you insult Governor Henderson, be careful lest you Insult the people of the state" said MT. Davis. Welch Makes Bitter Speech Representative Welch of Jefferson fol- lowed Mir Davis with a bitter speech against the exercise by the governor of the power to name the members of the board without the legislatures approval. He charged that Governor Henderson had appointed an examiner of public accounts to office whom he did not think the executive should have named. Representative Shapiro said the legisla- fture was drunk with power. 'It is inter- esting to see how drunk with power a prohibition legislature can get" he said. "The amendment of MT. Fite would not have been offered If Conner had been elected governor. If you pass this sub
 stitute 1t will not be the sober act of a sober legislature"
 He was followed by Representative Mer- rtt, who said his faction did not ask that the governor appoint prohibitionist on the board. We want him to name his friends" said MT. Merritt, "but we
 want him to give us men, Debate Drawns to Close Representatives Grayson of Mobile Johnston of Madison and John of Dallas then spoke on the governors side, all

 Let us put aside the rancor and spleen that has existed" said Representative
 Johnston. Let us stop this factionalism.
 Let us stop this fight on the governor"
 Representative Rogers of Sumter closed the debate for the administration, and made one of the best speeches of the day. He declared that the proposed amend

Markham, liberal member for the Mansfield division of Nottingham shire, seconded an amendment that an adjournment should be only for four weeks.
 Sir Henry explained that he did this because he was not satisfied with the situation in Flanders, where it had been understood there was to be a great advance during the spring and sum mer.
 In the Dardanelles, too. he wanted to know why such notice had been given to the enemy by a bombardment on the part of the fleet without the co-opera- ton of the land forces.
 S1r Henry Talks
 Sir Henry said he could keep silence no longer as he had not the confidence In the government that he had nine months ago. He could not understand why the industries of the country had not been mobilized and he wanted to know whether any one at the war office had been cashiered for the failure to supply sufficient munitions.
 He also criticized the governments delay in using gas against the Germans and he suggested that the reason for the failure to do this was breakdown In the arrangements.
 Sir Henry concluded that the discon- tent among the workers was due to the failure of the government to deal with the question of food supplies. which. he contended. was responsible for the increase In the cost of living.

LEADING ARGUMENTS
 FOR THE TWO SIDES

The administration leaders based their arguments upon the grounds that the governor as the executive head of the state had enjoyed the right to name his officers from time immemorial: that any attempt to take this authority out of his hands was slap at him and at the people who elected him to office and that he was the one who would in the end be held responsible for the acts of his of- ficers and for the successful or unsuccess- full operation of laws passed by the legis- lature.
 The opponents asserted that the legs- lature, If 1t had the power to create of fices, had the power to fill them, and that it was no affront to the executive to demand that it be allowed to confirm his appointments
 The fight was on a substitute amend ment offered by Representative Fite of Marion, providing for the appointment of the. board of equalization by the governor subject to the confirmation by the legis- lature. The ways and means committee of the house had offered an amendment to the original section, relating to the equalization board, providing for appoint ment of the board by the governor. The committee amendment was adopted.
 The amendment of the committee was offered by Chairman Weakley of the ways and means committee. In presenting the amendment. Chairman Weakley denied that he favored the plan to have the legis- lature confirm the governors appoint ments because he wished to take away some of his authority. He declared that he had been unjustly accused, in the press of the state of fighting the gov- ernor.
 However he indicated that he was not altogether pleased with Governor Hen derson. declaring that he thought the members of the recess committee on finance and taxation, of which he was chairman, had not received such CO., operation from the governor as we thought we were entitled to receive"

J. w. Seaton of Linden, Clerk Of
the Circuit Court of the Twelfth Ju-

years a sufferer from stomach troubles
in part a result of his combining
work. He tried doctor after doctor.
He tried medicines without end.
One day he took dose of Mayr's

ing corn crop. The husks, cobs, stalks
and leaves all remain on the land, and
these, with the manure from the hogs,
enrich the soil and increase its humus
content.
A man In southern Kansas, who
makes practice of "hogging down"
corn, uses a portable fence and fences
off five to ten acres at a time, taking
in more as needed. He turns the hogs
in the corn in August.
On IL acres of corn one year he
fattened SO head Of hogs, the corn
being estimated at about six hundred
bushels. OF the bunch, AZ head were
sold. averaging 24O pounds. netting
5000.
Allowing 100 pounds gain for each
hog on the corn thus fed, the corn
brought AN cents bushel, without
the expense of gathering.
The health of the hog is an impor-
tant consideration. Hogs that, have
plenty of range and exercise are not
nearly SO susceptible to disease as
those confined in small pen. A hog
that goes out after his feed will be
well grown and thrifty, accustomed to
exposure, and not liable to be injured
by a sudden change Of weather.
1t is difficult, however, to put a
good finish on hogs while running in
large field or pasture. If they are
allowed to run until three weeks or
month before sending to market, and
are then shut up and given all the corn
they want, with plenty of pure water,
they will make very rapid gains.
This man allows his pigs to run in
the corn as soon as 1t is cultivated tie
last time, but does not let the older
hogs into the field until the corn is
in good condition to feed in the fall
He says he has also had good results
from letting cattle into the corn first
and following these with hogs.

ments will result North Carolina will
probably establish an independent
highway department in lieu of the
work now done by the state geological
survey relating to highways.
New Jersey In 1891 was the pioneer
state in providing state aid for public
highways. Massachusetts and Con-
necticut adopted the policy shortly aft
er, but only during the last ten years
has the state-aid policy been In eff
feet on a considerable scale. About
5000 miles Of state highways were
completed in 1913 and about 5000
miles in 1914, SO that the last two
years have been responsible for more
than one-third of the entire state
highway mileage. The state highways
in America now exceed by 5000 miles
the national road system of France.
To have state highway departments
placed under non-partisan, efficient
control; skilled supervision required
in all construction work; a proper
classification of highway to insure in
telligent distribution of improve
ments; an adequate provision for
maintenance of highways from the
day of their completion-these are
among the objects for which the
American Highway association is wag
ing a vigorous campaign.

In these times when hired help Is
often not to be had and corn must
stand in the field, the farmer always
can bring his hogs to his aid in taking
care of it.
Many farmers yearly practice hog
ging of the corn and some of them
say 1t pays. An Ohio farmer turned
122 spring pigs and older hogs into a
ten-acre corn field in September. The
spring pigs averaged 50 pounds and
the older hogs 1876 pounds, and the
total weight of all was 1858 pounds.
The corn would yield about sixty
bushels an acre, and in it there were
a good many pumpkins. The hogs
had access also to a five-acre clover
field from which the seed had been re-
moved.
Water was hauled to them and they
mad the shade of the woods near by.
In % days the hogs had gained 6,522
pounds. At this time 81 head, averag.
ing 245 pounds, were sold at s515 per
hundred. The remainder were not
sold, but the farmer was offered IS
per hundred for them.
Counting the entire gain of 6,522
pounds at SIS would make $326.10, or
$32.61 per acre for the field. This
paid 50 cents bushel for the corn
which, on the market, was worth 40
cents. The whole herd made an av-
erage daily gain of 191 pounds per
head.
An Iowa farmer says that in his
first years experience he snapped 20
acres of corn beside the field "hogged
down." The next spring both fields
were sown to small grain under the
same conditions and with the same
preparation. On the land where corn
was 'hogged down" the wheat made
five and seven bushels more to the
acre than did the other. The differ
ence is just as noticeable in a succeed
