COMPULSI0N PLAN
WILL SAVE LIVES
Lever Explains Why He FaYors ADJ
ministration Idea.-Time for
Cnanimity.
fp n MCGOWAN, in The State.)

r. H..
Washington, April 26.-Congress-
man A. F. Lever of South Carolina
todav declared in a speech in the
house that he intended to stand by
the nresident' in the administrations
efforts to raise an army by conscrip-
ton.
q intend" said Mr.. Lever" to SUP
mort the conscription plan for raising
our army because I believe that every
citizens of military age owes his cour-
try in it's hour Of peril military SER
vice. We can not accept the Dless-
ings of free institutions without the
reciprocal duty to defend their insti-
tptions. I am unwilling that the hlgn
spirited, patriotic boys OF my State
and country shall be the sole burden
hearers of defending its institutions,
of unfolding it's rights and of carry
ing its flag.
"To defeat the presidents plan, un-
der circumstances like these, Will be
to prolong this war from three to six
months. It would mean, I fear, the
sending of thousands of men, Amerl-
car men, into the trenches.
"In almost unanimously adopting
the war resolution, in UNANIMOUSLY
passing the S7,00O,000,000, appropria-
tion for the conduct of the war, we
have shown spirit Of American
unanimity which must bring small
comfort to our enemies. We have put
our hands to the plow. To turn back
would be fatal, to hesitate, to qulpoie,
to split hairs on technical differences,
TO refuse to go forward for senti-
mental or traditional reasons, to fail
to measure up to the high courage
required by the occasion and the is
sue would be almost as fatal.
"If nv future is to be sacrlhced :
because l stand for what | conceive
tn he nv duty in the interest OF
American manhood and womanhooo,
then tender that future as a wiling
sacrifice upon the altar of my coun-
try.
az have taken no referendum OF
the people of my district as to the
relative merits of the volunteer ana
selective draft system of raising the
army of 100000 men proposed to DC

PLANT CORN AND VELVET
BEANS FOR CATTLE
VIII Provide Feed in Abundance for
Late Fall and Early Winter.

Clemson College, S. c., April 30
Farmers who will have cattle to
carry through next winter should
provide a place for a field OF corn
and velvet beans in his cropping
plans for this spring Nothing Will
provide more feed for late fall and
early winter and the cattle will at
tend Ito the harvesting of the entire
crop! if you will turn them in on IT,
thereby reducing labor costs to the
minimum, and retaining the maxi
mum fertility on the land. Where
the corn is planted in the usual
manner on average land, a good
plan is to plant two or three Velvet
Baans every two feet in every third
row of corn, and cultivate the crop
III the usual manner. When the
drop natures, the beans and corn
may be gathered and the cattle
burned in to clean up the field, but
better plan is to allow the crop to
stand and turn the cattle and hogs
in on the crop. If this crop IS
grown big problem of providins
feed for the early winter will be IN
large measure solved. Write. to
the Extension Division, Clemson Col
lege, S. c., for detailed information
about growing Velvet Beans.

was the motive.
Probable Method of Attack.
After making a complete invcstiga-
tion officers say that Pierce was evil
IDENTIFY called from his shanty, located
near the ferry that he with a lighted
lantern, left the shanty to answer the
call, and as he was going down a
steep hill int othe nam road some
one concealed behind tree made an
attack on him with an axe, and that
the first blow was glancing blow. 1t
struck Pierce on the head and the axe
glanced, striking into the bank. The
second blow completely crushed the
entire part of his head. Death was
instantaneous.
Coroner Beasley empanelled a jury,
but took recess until additional evil
ucnce can be secured. The lantern
was picked up by the murderer and
the light was extinguished. The
murderer's hand was covered with
blood and he left bloody finger prints
on the lantern. These finger prints
will be examined by expert.
Say His Actions Suspicious.
The actions during the inquest Of
Tom Jordan, white farmer, aged
forty-five, living near by, attracted
suspicion and officers say they found
tracks leading to and from his home
and the scene of the murder. They
also say they found marks where a
boy had concealed himself behind
bushes. The tracks are said to have
resembled the tracks of Jordan and
his fourteen year-old son. 1t is also
said that Jordan was seen in the
vicinity of the ferry some time during
last night.
The officers detained Jordan and
his son and have lodged them in the
county Jail until further investigation
can be made. Both father and son
refuse to talk.
Physicians >examing the dead body
say that in their opinion Pierce must
have been murdered about d o'clock,
two hours before his body was found
Pierce came to South Carolina four
years ago and had been employed as
ferryman for that length of time. He
was a man of good reputation, peace
able and quiet. Jordan moved from
Georgia about two years ago.

The President spoke as follows:

noble spirit and upon great scale.
1t is significant that it had been dedi-

wheel, but it would not move. The.
paused for an instant, as they stared at
each other. wondering what could be
the matter. Although they raised their
hands only for second, the windlass
began to reverse. The men tried to
stop it, but they couldn't get a grip on
it. so rapidly did it spin. The walls be-
gan to move back into place very rap
idly and Pedro was freed from his po-
sition, which had almost exhausted
him.
Liberty's heart began to leap with
joy, and yet she wondered whether the
Mexicans were playing another trick
on them. Perhaps they would bring
the walls together suddenly, when they
discovered the prisoners were not pre-
pared, and thus kill them instantly.
If such was their plan, it would at
least be more merciful than the slow
death which stared them in the face
but a moment before. Sudden death
would be indeed welcome.
Then something happened which sur
prised both Liberty and Pedro. One of
the walls, in moving back, was carried
beyond its place by the momentum,
and left an open space large enough
for an individual to pass through. Pc
dro saw 1t, and so did Liberty. 1t was
q miracle. Without uttering a single
word the slave grabbed her and pushed
her through the opening. Then he
ieaped after her. They found the hall
way clear, but just as they were about
to pass through the doorway a sentry
sprang in front of them. With one
blow Pedro sent him over backward
and he dropped down the stone steps
landing at the bottom ia a huddled
mass.
Pedro snatched the revolver fromthe
mans belt and, placing his arm about
his mistress. he hurried her through
the gates. Then they started to thread
their way through the town, lodging
in and out Of the narrow streets.
One of the prison guards, finding the
body Of the Mexican at the bottom of
the steps, gave the alarm and few
minutes later a pursuing party was
hastily formed which set out to search
for them.
But Pedro and Liberty had had a
good start and by this time were some
distance from the town.

''If it win only lead US outside" con-
tinued the girl, nervously.
1--WE can only hope it will" said Pc
dro as he stopped and in the darkness
placed his shoulder underneath the OBJ
ject.
: Liberty's heart thumped with anticl-
patton. She felt certain this wall was
the only thing which separated herself
and Pedro from freedom.
Pedro will move it," he said as he
labored hard to edge the stone from
its place.
AS he strained every muscle in his
great black body Liberty stood beside
him and waited for some assurance
from him that his efforts we're being re-
warded. She could not see him it was
too dark. But she heard him mutter
and grOan as he put every ounce of his
strength into the work.
"She move-she move-Senorita." he
gasped as he withdrew his shoulder
and locked his arms about the huge
bowlder.
You must rest, Pedro" whispered
Liberty, who realized the terrible
strain on the poor slave.
"Pedro-never--rest- - Seno-
rita-free." returned the faithful old
Mexican.
II seemed to Liberty as though she
stood there for hours, while Pedro tug
ged at the stone to force it from its
place. Then. as she was about to give
up hope, Pedro jumped back against
her, as he exclaimed: Look out, Seno-
rita, here it comesl"
As Pedro felt the weight of the stone
against his body he let it go and quick
" stepped aside, taking Liberty with
him. 1t was well he did, for the next
instant the stone was dislodged and
slipping off the edge of the wall, fell
with all its mighty weight that shook
the ground beneath their feet.
Pausing only for a second to get his
breath, Pedro aided Liberty through
the aperture and then sprang through
after her.
Liberty's heart beat rapidly with an
ticipation of escape, for she felt GER
