Report r, C., S. Commission.

The seport of the Red Cross Seal
commission for this year has been
completed, and the final report of
the 1876 campaign has been made
public by Miss Julie Hayward. agent
for the seals in South Carolina. The
outcome of the sale this year, though
not as large as was expected, shows
an encouraging increase over the
sales last year.
The seals were on sale in $50
towns in this State, and there were
sold during the holidays approx
mately $4,000 at one cent each.
This means approximately S2.39O
for anti-tubercuiosis work. Out Of
this amount only 1096 is sent to the
American Red Cross, while the re-
mainder is spent in South Carolina
by the various anti-tuberculosis
leagues and by the Red Cross Seal
commission in advertising and relief
work in the struggle against tuber-
culosis.
There are in South Carolina six
anti.tuberculosis associations, some
of them small but all doing good
work-Charleston, Columbia. Green
vile, Spartanburg, Sumter and Soci-
ety Hill-and in these places 75% of
the proceeds from the sale of seals
is kept to aid in the work of the To-
cal association.

Some Good Words.

Rev Sam Greene.a colored preach
er of this county, sent US the follow
ing and asked that it be published:
Some among the best things in
life are, to work hard, be truthful,
and deal squarely, for the more we
make for our employers the more
they will have to give u.s."
These are good words, and if the
colored race, as we'll as the white,
would make this their standard OF
living, how much better the world
be. Be truthful, honest and perse-
vering, and the world will treat you
right. The man who goes right in
his dealings and gives his best serv-
ices, no matter how small the job he
is doing, is not the man who stands
on the street corners talking of hard
luck.-Saluda Standard.

The history of large plantatlon IN
Tennessee is an instance of this.
The place was an old cotton plan
tation which was so run down that
much of it had been abandoned al
together and was overrun with
sedge grass and briars when the
owner determined to make it into a
stock farm. At that time Tennessee
was not yet free from ticks, so that
he had to do his own dipping. In q
year he succeededin getting rid of the
scourge. and purebred Shorthorn
bulls were then brought in, These
were used with the native COWS,
which ranged in value from $l2 to
$40 a head and weighed from 500
to 700 pounds. The calves which
resulted weighed an average OF 800
pounds when they reached the Chi
cago market, and sold for 8 cents a
pound, or $64 head. They were
then from Is to l8 months old. This
farm is now shipping much OF its
breeding stock into the tick-free
counties of Mississippi and Alabama.
It is, of course. not every stock
man who can afford the exclusive
use ofla purebred bull. The small
farmer with one or two cows gains,
however, just as much in proportion
by breeding them to purebred In
stead of a scrub, and the gain is
even more important to him. For
this reason the department is now
encouraging the formation of live
stock associations and bull clubs in
which a number of farmers unite in
the purchase of a bull. The county
agents and special demonstrators
are also urging upon farmers in the
areas recently freed from the ticks
the following plan for getting
start in the livestock industry:
l. Get Bermuda grass started on
all pastures. Improve the pastures
further by sowing some lespedeza
and bur clover on the uplands and
some alsike clover or white clover
on the bottom lands.
2. Grow more hay and other for.
age on which to winter the stock; or
erect silo if you have as many as
10 dairy cattle or 20 beef cattle.
8. Bring in good bulls to use for
grading up the native cattle. Do
not try to Use purebreds to begin
with.
q. If not able to buy a bull for
individual use. form a bull club.
5. Form a community club or
county livestock association so that
members may exchange bulls every
two years and thus obtain maximum
service from bull without breed
ing him to his own offspring.
6. Hcifers of the beef breeds
should not drop calves until they
are 30 months old.
z. Breed all beef cows so as to
calve during February, March, and
April.
8. Breed all dairy cows so as to
calve in the fall.
9. Wean the beef calves in the
fall. Give them plenty of good,
bright hay, silage if available, and
about l pound of cottonseed meal
per day for the first month. After
that they can be wintered on the
roughage produced on the place and
a little concentrate.
10. The breeding stock in the beef
herd may be given the run of the
stalk fields until the middle of win
ter and then fed on roughage. AS
the COWS will be carrying calves,
they should be kept in a thrifty con-
dition.
II. If possible, dip all of the stock
each spring and fall to keep them
free of lice and to put their skin in

Whence T. RS Weasel Words"

Showing how Theodore Roosevelt
is constantly on the qui vive for telling
expressions and catch phrases, Mr.. c.
II. Payne of that city writes the New
York Herald anent the weasel
words"
If you will turn to the Century
Magazine for June, 1900, you will find
story by Stewart Chaplin called "a
Stained Glass Political Platform in
which these words originate. The fol-
lowing conversation about a platform
occurs in the story:
And like most Platforms" contin-
ued St. John, ct contains plenty of
what l call weasel words"
And what may weasel words be?"
Why, weasel words are words that
suck all the life out of the words next
to them, just as a weasel sucks an egg
and leaves the shell. If you heft the
egg afterwards it's as light as a fea-
Their and not very filling when you're
hungry but basketful of them would
make quite a show and would BAN.
boozle the unwary."
Il know them WELL" said George,
and mighty useful they are, too. AL
though the old gentleman couldn't
write much of platform, he's an ex-
pert at weaseling. I've seen him take
his pen and go through proposed
plank or resolution and weasel every
tiat-footed word in it. Then the wea-
sci word pleases one man and the
word that's been weaseled pleases
another"

DEMANDS OF PEOPLE REALIZED

Nobody wants Hughes-nobody but the people" They
were enough AS this is written Wednesday, there is little
doubt but that the President of the United States
will be Mr.. Charles Evans Hughes The nomination of
Mr. Hughes is virtually conceded this time. There was

paper recognized the availability of Mr. Justice Hughes
and along with hundreds of Others realized the drift of
public sentiment to the eminent urs and so expressed

for Mr. Root with Col Roosevelt along toward the tail
end of the string. At Chicago Mr.. Hughes was the

The Huston Loans.


A state land board scandal is nei-
ther new nor startling in Idaho, and
the public is prepared for almost, any
kind of rottenness that may be dis
closed. The latest exposure was
brought about through the open letter
addressed to the governor by Captain
F. G. Davis, published in last weeks
Leader. and the facts that have come
to light are as follows:
Applications were made for four
loans, aggregating $4,000, on four
pieces Of land located near Idaho
Falls. Three of the properties had
just been decided by State Auditor
Huston to the applicants for the loans,
and the other was owned by Huston S
father. The applications were made
out and filed by Huston, accompanied
by his own appraisement on three of
the properties. The other property
owned by Huston's father, was ap-
praised by Land Commissioner Day
and an assistant, on the same day that
the applications were filed, and with
out seeing the land. These appraise-
ments were accepted by the board, the
applications were rushed through on
the day filed and warrants for $4,000
were issued on the following day al
though it is the boosted rule of the
board that all applicants are treated
alike and all applications are acted
upon in the order in which they are
filed.
The warrants were placed in an
envelope by the register of the land
board, addressed to an Idaho Falls
bank. accompanied by a letter to the
bank. instructing it to hold the war
rants until abstracts of title had been
furnished and approved by the state
officials. The register states that the
letter was sealed and given to Huston
for delivery to the bank. 1t now de-
velops that the letter of instructions
was never delivered to the bank, but
three of the warrants, aggregating
Sl4,ooo, where presented to the bank
and cashed by Huston on the follow
ing. day.. Not only was the letter not
delivered, but the registers carbon
copy was distracted from his files.
The warrants were cashed before any
abstracts of title had been furnished
and at that time one of the properties
was subject to prior mortgages which
had not been released.
II is 1urther SHOWN that these lands.
upon which the state loaned $33 an
acre. are assessed at $23 an acre, and
three of the properties are subject to
a water right incumbrance of $27 an
acre. Huston's appraisement on the
has not Oecn disclosed. The
appraisal fee of one per cent, which
must be paid by all applicants for
state loans, under the rules of the
board. was not paid on these applica-
tons. but since the exposure the board
has decided to make a demand for il,
Following the exposure of these
transactions, at meeting of the land
board, Huston signed an agreement to
return this money to the state on or
before July 18th. which was accepted
by the board as an entirely satisfac-
tory settlement of the deal

The only explanation or excuse Of
fered by the state officials responsible
for this mess is that they consider the
security for the loans to be sufficient.
The state land board is composed of
the governor. the secretary of state,
auditor, attorney general and school
superintendent. The members present
when this deal was put through were
the governor, auditor and secretary of
state.
The state has seven and half mil
lion dollars invested in state loans, all
of which are handled by the state land
board, and there has been consider
able Boosting of late over the perfect
business methods of the board, its fair
treatment and absolute impartiality
in the matter of handling applications
for loans, but here is an instance of
gross favoritism, with member OF
the board as the apparent beneficiary,
and of loose and reckless business
methods that would soon wreck any
private enterprise.
1t doesn't seem to matter much who
or what kind of men we elect as state
officials. The same incapacity, inef-
hciency and indifference, if nothing
worse, are shown in the handling of
the states trust fund investments. No
land board seems to be able to resist
the horde of politicians and others of
high influence who are scrambling for
an opportunity to grab state money.
1t is not a question of partisan poll
tics, and it is silly. in view of the rec
ord, for Republicans to blame Demo-
Gratis, or Democrats to blame Republi-
cans. There seems to be but one thing
that the voters can do, and that is
turn out the whole gang at every cleo
ton

their second term they spend in trying
to land themselves in soft berth in
some other department of the state
government. And this is responsible
for the apparent carelessness in nearly
all departments. These handovers take
from one administration to another all
the easy methods they learned at
times previous. for it seems to be
against the rules for a state official to
do any real work. They are there to
draw their salaries and to get it by
the easiest possible method. Of course
it sometimes happens that men get
into state Office who are conscientious
in the performance of their duties. but
they are real men; not the weakened
spineless variety who fear starvation
as soon as they pass out of the shad-
ow of the state house, and they do not
stay on the job continuously. When
their term of office is over they go
back to their homes and again take
up their former occupations, and the
ultimate result is that the various de-
partments of state government be-
come filled to overlooking with lot
of human jelly-fsh who seem to give
every evidence of being justified in

living out in the open field where men
of strength and intellect and energy
are required.
In the campaign two years ago,
Moses Alexander promised the people
that if he was elected governor he
would clean out the state house from
the basement to the DOME He was
elected and we think it is evident that
his success at the polls was very large
ly attributed to that promise. The few
people who do take little interest in
political matters can readily see that
something must be done to clean out
the state house, and at the election
two years ago they felt that way so
strongly that several thousand Repub-
licans voted for Democrat for gov
ernor
The house-cleaning did not mater
ialize and the demand for it is be-
coming more and more insistent. At
this time the clamor has assumed pro-
portions that BODIES i'll for the party

WHAT HAS BECOME OF TRoWBR1DGE7

Some six weeks ago Mr. c R Trowbridge personal rep
resentave of Secretary Lane of the Department the
Interior, concluded his Investigations on the Boise Reca
nation Project and departed for Washington 1t was u-
dersood at the time that within reasonable length of
time the report of his Investigations would be given the
water users To date report has been made public Not
word has from Mr.. Trowbridge since he betook
himself away What has become of his Investigations?
What did he learn and what has he done with the infor-
nation? These questions are now being asked bv the
settlers.
Time drags its weary way along the Boise Project
The Reclamation Service is in hurry to do anything
apparently 1t probably that all the time there is
is coming this way and haste is unnecessary
We fear that the settlers on the Project will have to do
everything that is done themselves They can get no
help from Washington 1t is time that they were going
about their affairs in systematic mehodcal manner in
order that they may be prepared for any eventuaity
