ven in barrels, one-half gallon of

even in barrels, one-half gallon of
molasses daily (or approximately 6
pounds) may take the place of about
5 pounds of corn in the ration. This
means that where corn is 81 a BUSH
ell, if molasses can be laid down for,
say IS cents gallon or less, it will
prove profitable to substitute as
much as one-half gallon for part
(5 pounds) of the corn in the daily
feed of a mule or horse.
In short, we suggest the following
possibilities of reducing the cost of
feeding the work stock this season.
For a 1,O00-pound animal:
Hay: 10 pounds, or hay 5 pounds
and cottonseed hulls 6 or pounds.
Grain: 10 to IL pounds corn, 2 to
2 1-2 pounds cottonseed meal.
Or the following may be cheaper
5 to 6 pounds corn; 6 to 7 pounds
rice polish, or to 8 pounds rice
bran, or to 7 pounds blackstrap
molasses. 2 to 2 1-2 pounds cot
tonseed meal.
If the hay is from grasses, or if
cottonseed hulls are substituted fol
i1alf the hay, or if molasses is used
in the grain ration, then 2 1-2
pounds instead of pounds of cot.
tonseed meal may be used.

MARSHALL P. DEBRUHL

The bar of South Carolina lost
faithful member of its profession
when Marshall P. DeBruhl died in
Columbia last week. While he had
lived in Columbia for several years,
and at the time of his death was
making that city his home, he still
belonged to Abbeville. We all re-
garded him as an Abbeville man.
He grew to young manhood here,
? and here he spent all the better part
of his life, with the joys of his early
manhood, and the sorrows which be-
fell him in later life.
Mr.. DeBruhl was no ordinary law
yer. 1t is true that he was not an
advocate, he was not a trial lawyer,
and as generally understood he
made no great success in his profess
sion But he was nevertheless
lawyer. He knew the principles,
because he loved the principles of
the law, founded as they are upon
reason and justice. We hope that
we do not disparage the ability of
any other member of the Abbeville
bar now, or in the days heretofore,
when we say that he was the best
lawyer who has practiced law at
the Abbeville bar since the editor of
this paper has been one of its C:e-a
Ders. We say that he WAS the best
lawyer because he knew the law, he
knew what the cases decided, and
E'he knew how to expound the law.
EHe was rarely mistaken in his views
upon legal principles, and we often
turned to him for advice as did
Others, more esteemed by the
public for their knowledge than he.
The full measure of the ability of
"a lawyer is only known by the jud-
ges before whom he practices, and
his brethren with whom he works.
By all of these Mr.. DeBruhl was
most highly esteemed.
AS a citizen of this town, and as
= public servant of the county which
he served in the legislature, Mr.. De-
Bruhl measured up we'll. While in
the legislature, he advocated some
measures with which all did not
agree, but no one ever doubted the
sincerity and honesty of Marshall
DeBruhl. He was the author, we
believe, of the act under which the
state carries its own insurance on
its public buildings and the public
buildings of the counties. Under
the administration of this act many
Thousand dollars have been sa, ed tn
the state, and we believe a large
surplus fund has been accumulated
for the payment. of losses SUSTAINED
on these buildings.
Mr.. DeBruhl was kind, gentle
and loving man. He loved his
state, his city, his home, his friends,
land most of all he loved his children
supon whom he showered every
searthly blessing which ne cou'd af-
ford. In the years whicn are to
come they will love his memory for
the devotion he showed them, he
u. clean life he lived, the excellent en-
ample he set before all men, and for
. 5he painstaking care with which he
s2erformed life's duties.
His life was built upon the eter-
nal principles of right and justice
He did no man any wrong. He
looked with faith to the Giver of
every perfect gift, and he died as
he lived.

the big baseball case in Chicago. Says
Dreyfuss:
Il do not understand how the court
can render n decision at once. He gave
us twenty days to file affidavits in answer
10 those made by the Feds after the pre-
liminary hearing began, and our time
for doing this is not up until next Thurs
day. The subject OF the United States
Courts jurisdiction is involved in some
of these afildavits. and even IL the Judge
intends to throw out the case because
of this consideration. l do not believe
he would do SO until after he had heard
organized basebalrs answers to the
Feds"
Simply recommending that football
players be numbered will have no effect
at all upon those players and coaches
who are opposed to il. Recommending
this improvement was as far as the rules
committee went in it's meeting al New
York.
Players who object to being numbered
must be very sensitive. In fact. it is
wonderful how men with such sensitive
ness can bring themselves to the point
of plunging about on a muddy gridiron
and running the risk of getting a bloody
nose.
President BrittOn. of the Cardinals has
decided that the players shall receive no
share OF the spring series money this
year. Last season the athletes threat
ened to strike for share in the proceeds,
but were prevented from doing so by
Rritton's timely action in Offering to
give a certain sum of money to each
player who took part in the series.

Mack S Athletics Sure

Griffmen and Mack's tribe during the
past three years il will be recalled
that Plank. Bender and Collins did
not begin to cut so much ice as some
of the so-caIIed lesser stars.

Olson Says
Lajoie is Far
From All In

Ivan Olson, while a member of
the Cleveland Maps, rOOmed for
several years with Larry LnJoie
and still believes that the great
Frenchman is not all In by any
means. Here's what Olson said
to several friends the other day:
"NOu fellows seem to think that
LOJOie il all in, and should be
placed on n pension. shake that
idea out Of your bonnet. Place
him on another club and he will
earn every dollar of that fat sal
ary. He has been in Cleveland
too long. Give him change,
place him under more congenIaI
conditions. and II he doesn't hit
300 or better for the next two
years I will gladly admit that
am dead wrong"

been accomplished, we will have
an opportunity to Judge whether
or not Olson IL n bum prOgnOsti-
