time to receive replies from Lane and
Borah. They are of the opinion that
one or both of these officials will yet
secure a copy of the investigator S
report for the association.
Following out the action taken at
the new boards first meeting Janu-
airy II, letters were sent both to Sec
rotary Lane and Senator Borah, ask
ing for copies of Smiths report on
the Bailey matter. No replies have
been received. and it seems the inter-
ested members fear the document will
be secreted from these men. In or
der to forestall any such maneuver
the majority faction decided to take
matters in their own hands, called the
special meeting and pushed through
the motion to send Director Rankin
to personally dig into the matter.
Factions Unite.
When defeated on the motion to de-
er action, the minority gracefully sub
mitted, and the motion to send Ran
kin to headquarters was carried unan-
imously by viva voce vote. In sub
stance the motion was that without
further delay we send Rankin to
Washington to secure a copy OF Tx
aminer C. G. Smiths report in the
Bailey investigation and present it to
Secretary Lane, and that copy also
be placed on file in the secretary's Of
fee in Caldwell, for public inspec-
ton" Immediately after adopting the
resolution the board adjourned, the
the transaction of other business be-
ing out of order.
During the progress of the jangle
one of the directors was asked if it
were not fact that he had seen a
copy of Smiths report in the hands of
United States Attorney McClear. The
query was ignored.

PUBLIC SCHOOL GRIND.
aberdeen Times.)

The complaint is frequently made
against the American public school
that it is too much of machine,
that it offers no chance for the bright
child. He must dawdle away his
time, relieved by sticking pins in next
neighbor, while the rules of arith-
metic and the facts of history are ex-
planned over and over again to slower
witted children.
There are a host of people who
learn only by their eyes, by seeing
a thing done. You find it in every
business office. There are some to
whom it is absolutely no use to give
do a thing, and let them see you
do it, and then they follow you I'm
by imitation if they can't by reason.
So with children. Teacher must do
the example over and over again be-
fore they can grasp the principle,
which i'll the form of written rule
is meaningless.
Meanwhile what is the boy to do
who takes to books as an Indian to
the chase?
Here is where the good teacher
can make her value count. The bright
child with little help can always
skip one or two grades in the years
before the high school. Don't be
afraid to let them try it, But it means
that the teacher must stay after
school few moments and untangle
new and knotty problems.
There are few teachers who are
unwilling to do this. The child who
pushes ahead without prodding is
such relief, in contrast with the
average listlessness of the school
room that the teacher usually feels
that here at least her work has some
reward.
Much is said in the newspapers
about the crowding of the public
school. Probably it does not pay to
push child if he does not want to
go. When you suggest to most of
them that they go ahead and save a
year, the reply is: Were getting our
lessons and isn't that enough?" But
don't let your boy expect that he is to
go through school without some work.

STORMY DEBATE OVER
NOMINATION OF BRANDElS,

Committee Members Predict UnfavoT.
able Report on the Appointment.
Washington.-A stormy debate over
the nomination Of Louis D. Brandeis
for the Supreme Court broke in the
senate, and, before it was over, pre-
dictions were made by two members
of the Judiciary Committes-one q
Democrat-that an unfavorable re-
port on the appointment would follow
when the committee reached vote.
Discussion was precipitated when
Senator Sutherland Of Utah, Repub-
lican member Of the committee, read
to the senate an interview published
quoting Senator Ashurst oe Arizona as
charging that Republican members OF
the Judiciary Committee were hnons-
tering in order to delay vote on the
Brandeis nomination, until after the
national political conventions.
Senator Ashurst stood steadfastly
by the quoted statement during the
heated argument, which followed, un-
til assured by fellow-Democrats on
the committee that there was no such
hilibuster. He withdrew the charge,
at the suggestion OF Senator Brande'
gee, after he had denounced e1ecu-
tive sessions and charged that the
Republicans were angered over the
Brandeis nomination because he was
q champion of the masses.

BUD WORM OF CORN
Is A SERIOUS PEST
Larya Of IL Spotted Cucumber
Beetle Kills Much Bottom
Lamb Corn.

Clemson Ccllege-The bud worm Of
corn, serious pest to bottomland
corn, in South Carolina is the larVa or
grub of our common twelve spotted
cucumber beetle. This beetle or pa
rent may be found at the present time
feeding upon small grain in the fields,
iruit blooms about the orchard, or on
almost any other green vegetation
found about the farm.
The larva or grub confines its &C.
tivity to corn and various grasses
sound growing in low moist lands,
commonly known as bottom lands.
The eggs are laid by the parent beetle
from about the first Of March to the
middle of April. Corn planted on low
lands during the egg laying period IS
very often seriously damaged and
sometimes completely destroyed by
this insect. After the corn has reach
ed height of about ten inches no
serious injury occurs.
Remedial Measures.
Avoid planning oottom lanoS lhieSIeo
with bud worms until about two-thirds
Of the grubs have reached the
quiescent period The planting dates
for various sections Of the state has
been carefully marked cut and are fol-
lowed by many OF our farmers. They
are as follows:
For lower South Carolina plant after
May 5th.
For middle South Carolina, plant
one week later.
For upper South Carolina or the
Piedmont region, plant two weeks Ia
ter or about May the 18th.
By carefully observing the planting
dates a stand of corn may be secured
while the grubs of the first genera
ton are sleeping in the soil, then be-
fore the second generation comes,
