has lost three Of it's best track men,

such will not be the case and they are

Governors Sons In Service.

The Governor of South Carolina
and at least two former Governors
of South Carolina, Sheppard and
Hayward, have sons in the military
service of the United States. "-C0-
lumbia .State.
Make it three. Capt Henry Till
man. of Greenwood, has been ready
from the frst.-Ners and Courier.
This is neutrality-suspicious.
in Greenwood where Capt Henry
Tillman is in charge of home boys in
the service.
In connection with this general
reference to Governors sons in the
service, The Index wishes to say that
while on occasion it has criticised
the judgment of Governor Manning
in some of his official acts. as to his
patriotism and that of his family
there can be no question. And this
is something which the Governor,
with the excellent taste of a gentle
man, does not use as a political
boost. The people of the State gen.
orally, we believe. do not really
know the facts and without his
knowledge this plain statement of
facts, in justice to him, is presented.
He has had four sons to volunteer
despite initial sacrifices and all &C.
cepted for the active service of their
country in this struggle to preserve
our lives and liberties from the mer.
ciless hand of the the Kaiser. Many
officials have a son in the service,
some two, a few three, but perhaps
no other high official has offered so
many sons to the country as Gov
ernor Manning with four sons now
behind the colors.
When the trouble with Mexico
came. William S Manning, oldest
living son of Governor and Mrs Man.
ming. was earning his living as Wash
ington correspondent of New
York newspaper. Though depend
ent entirely on his salary for the
support of himself and family, he
returned at once to his native State
and enlisted as a private with the
Charleston Light Dragons at a
wage about one twelfth his Wash
ington salary. He served on the
Mexican border in that capacity.

When this clash with Germany came,
William Manning. above the age of
the draft, applied for admission to
the Officers Training Camp. Af-
ter training at Fort Meyer. Va. he
was designated by the government
a few days ago to enter on special
training at Cambridge, Mass, for
trench warfare.
Another married son of the Gov
ernor, Bernard Manning, resigned a
responsible and lucrative position as
cashier of bank and entered the
Officers Training Camp at Fort Ogle-
thorpe. A few days ago this young
father returned on furlough to his
wife to bury their only child. This
patriotic young Carolinian, having
earned the honor of being one of
the two men selected out of his COM
pany for the position of instructor
in the second training camp, returns
shortly to assume that responsibility.
Wyndham M Manning, a graduate
of West Point, married and the faith
er of two children. was Captain of
the Charleston Light Dragons when
troops were needed in Mexico. He
served on the border till March, when
he brought his troop home. In the be.
ginning of this war with Germany,
Capt Manning was stationed as cap
tain in the Training Camp at Fort
Oglethorpe.
As if the father, with his duties as
war Governor, and Mrs Manning.
active among the women of South
Carolina, in preparing the State for
the strain of war, were not doing
enough, still another son offered his
life. This boy, Burwell Manning,
two years below the requirements
of the draft, left college to become
a private in the Charleston Light
Dragons. There he waits. like his
brothers, to give If need be, his life
for the name of the State, the free
dom of America. -GreenwOOd hler.

SELECTED SEEDS ARE BEST.
Clean, Healthy Wheat Seed Essential
to Large Yield.


to Large Yield.
Washington, D C, August 2S:-
Sound, clean, healthy seed is the
first requisite for the largely in
creased wheat crop which the Unit
ed States department of argicul-
ture hopes to see harvested next
year. Whatever the source of sup
ply farmers will find it to their ad-
vantage, says the department. to
see that only good seed is planted.
What has been said is equally true
of seed for the rye crop which the
department hopes to see much larger
than usual next year.
If q farmer has seed from his own
crop which is satisfactory so far as
variety and general condition are
concerned, he should lose no time in
getting it into shape for storage un.
til planting time. The tanning mill
is the farmers best friend in this
task. The farmer, by all means
should have such a mill and if ne
has not and is unable to obtain one,
should borrow or rent his neighbor's
mill, or several farmers can join in
buying one. A tanning mill re-
moves weed seeds, smut and shrivel-
ed grain, leaving only plump kernels,
practically every one Of which may
be depended upon to produce a
thrifty plant. After it is cleaned,
however, the seed should be treated
in order that the smut may be pre-
vented. Scab is less likely to be
prevented by seed treatment, but
the use of the tanning mill will as
sist materially in improving the
crop grown from seed known to
have contained scabby kernels.
If the farmer is dependent on out
side sources for his seed he should
buy from his neighbor if possible so
that he may be more likely to get
seed adapted to his conditions. 1t
is advisable to buy as soon after
harvest as possible as at this time
prices are likely to be lowest. If
the farmer delays, his neighbors
may dispose of all their surplus grain
and he may be forced to plant seed
grown under conditions radically
different from his own. If the farm
er patronizes a scotsman he should
insist on getting seed grown as near
his section as possible.
If seed is affected by diseases.
careful inspection will usually dis
close the fact. The presence of
sinking smut in wheat is indicated
by the odor and the presence OF
scab by the appearance OF the ker'
nels. Purchased seed should. OF
course, be cleaned and treated for
the destruction of the spores OF
disease producing fungi, if the ex-
animation shows this to be necessary.
In choosing varieties of wheat the
farmer should be guided by the ex-
periences of his neighbors and the
advice of his State experiment sta
ton. This is true also of rye, but
there are available fewer varieties
of rye than of wheat. The stations
can furnish comparative statistics on
the yields and behavior of number
of varieties of the two cereals.
After the grain farmer has pro-
cured a supply of satisfactory seed
he should store it carefully so that
it will keep in good condition and
will be safe from the depredations
of rats, mice and insects. Bins that
are supposedly proof against rats
are available on practically all farms
and it will pay farmers to- see that
they are kept in good condition to
keep out the rodents.

FIRE BUG
AT WORK

This morning at 8:4O the fire de

out in the building known as the ne
gro Country Club" Small damage
was done the total amount to the
building and contents being placed al

was the tenant and w. c. Matthews
lis the owner of the building The
cause was given unknown
That there might have been an az
tempt made to wipe out a section of
southtown was brought to light this
morning when, on opening Emanuel
Reeds pool hall, it was discovered
that someone had done his best to
burn out the place last night. Reeds
place is Immediately across the street
from the negro Country Club" On
the south side of the building and at
about the center, window had been
raised and some trash thrown ON the
floor, which rubbish was later lighted.
The plotter, however. had not done
his work well That is, he was shy
on kindling for it did not create suf-
ficient blaze to catch the rest of the
building. Either this, or some un.
known person extinguished the blaze.
From the appearance it seemed that
the fire had simply burned out after
finishing the trash and had only
scorched the wall and floor. It is
presumed that the attempt to burn
the place was made between / O'Clock
and daylight.
