decision handed down yesterday aft
ernoon the circuit court Of appeals
granted the full prayer Of The Asso-

vice. 1t further forbids the picking
up Of such news by. the defendant

LETTERS
DEMOCRACY IN GERMANY
tor honolulu star:Bnlletin.

EDITOR Honolulu Star:Bulletin.
Sir: Notwithstanding the tight
censorship that is being enforced
throughout the German Empire. there
are leaks here and there, through
which the world Is given q fairly &C
curate account CT the state OF internal
indicate very clearly that the Imperial
Government, as we'll as Austria, Is me-
naced from inside to an extent equally
as alarming as that from the outside,
The Central Powers cannot longer
disregard the seriousness OF the in
ternal situation.
The world at large knows for a Ger
tainty that the German people have
been existing on short rations fog
many months, and the continued scar
city Of food. coupled with the fact that
OF late bread allowances have been
further reduced, Is resulting in dis
turbances Of a most serious nature
among the oVer-worked and improper.
~ fed populace.
The only salvation for Germany so
far from internal strife, has been the
utter lack of what Americans would
term backbone" among the working
classes, to think and do according to
individual dictates. Deep political
questions have been severely Stunned
by the factory worker, and in its
stead generation after generation has
been disciplined to think on all ques,
lions of state just as the high officials
want them to think.
1t is possible for these same sub
missive people, smarting under craV-
ing stonachs, through lack of proper
nourtshment; and shattered nerves,
brought on by endless and useless
slaughter Of thousands in what has
now become losing game, to quickly
close this chapter of blood and car.
mage. The great German leaders
army front could be instantly crippled
by cessation Of work by the factory
hands for period of a few weeks.
But such contingency is not looked
for, unless inspired by the action of
Russia, the Teutons assert themselves
in manner astonishing to the world.
The continued grumblings from
within, the spreading of literature
filled with sentiment Of discomfort, to.
gether with that feeling Of unrest that
Is being manifested throughout the
Empire, may shortly bring the situa.
ton to some understandable head.
There Is no doubt that the German
people are asserting themselves, and
that reverence for royalty that cannot
satisfy the inner man is fast losing
ground.

DIVISION FOR CAMP JACKSON.
Governor Visits Washington.-Will
Form Home Guard Regiment.

Washington, Sept. Ex-Governor
Richard 1. Manning had long con-
ference here today with Secretary of
War Baker, at which Gen. Bliss, act
ing chief of staff, was present. The
governor came to Washington be-
cause of certain disquieting rumors
in connection with the troops to be
sent to the cantonment at Columbia.
After the conference he made this
statement:
''I can say authoritatively that a
full division of white drafted men
will be sent to Camp Jackson at Co.
lumbia.'
A division numbers $4,000. The
camp is not to accommodate more
than $4,000 to $4,000 men in all, so
so that the significance of the assur-
ance received by the governor today
is obvious. Governor Manning also
held a long conference with Provost
Marshal General Crowder with ref
erence to features of the draft.
To Organize Militia.
In addition to the foregoing state
ment, Governor Manning gave out
the following information of interest
with regard to the militia of the
State:
81 have reached the conclusion that
inasmuch as the original militia or
ganizations of South Carolina, includ-
ing the naval militia, have been draft
ed into the federal service, leaving
the State without any home protec-
tion in case of riots, fires and so forth
it will be proper for me to organize
at once the unorganized militia OF
the State into regiment.
Used Only in State.
"This regiment is not to be used
beyond the State. 1t will be COM
posed of twelve companies from d1f-
ferent parts of the State, and I have
succeeded in procuring some 500 ri
fes now in the Columbia armory for
the use if this regiment.
The governor said that he had
found each of his conferences emf
nently satisfactory. He left for Co.
lumbia tonight.

SWEET POTATOES IN THE SOUTH.
Produce More Food Per Acre Than
Irish Potatoes.

Seed to plant an acre of Irish
potatoes cost about $40 last spring.
Some sweet potatoes did not cost
more than 81 per acre where vine
cuttings taken from early-set plants
were used. The Weld of sweet pota-
tatoes per acre /, Usually greater than
that of Irish potatoes and as food
they are as nutritious. Sweet potatoes
may be grown throughout the South
ern States and, of course, in certain
other sections. Specialists in the U.
S. Department of Agriculture are
urging an increased acreage of this
crop wherever it can be easily grown.
Sweet potatoes, it is pointed out,
are the South's chief instrument for
a quick and effective increase of the
food supply. Seed is plentiful; last
years crop was the second largest
ever produced. By means OF vine
cuttings it is possible to plant almost
unlimited areas of this crop and at
the same time conserve the present
supply. That is, farmer who wish
es to plant 10 acres will bed seed
enough-say to 10 bushels-to get
slips for one acre. Vine cuttings
from this acre would plant many
more acres, paintings being possible
until the first of August in the lower
South. This system now widely used
in the South, enables the utilization
of land from which early potatoes,
cabbage and other truck crops have
been taken.
Sweet potatoes are not expensive
to grow. The main limiting factor
to the production of vast quantities
by this plan is labor. Yields from
fields set with vine cuttings are as
large as from plants grown from
slips. This method has the further
advantage of preventing the transfer
of diesease which are carried on the
tubers.
The South doesn't need to learn
how to grow sweet potatoes, the
specialists point out. Farmers know
how to produce large yields of this
crop. But the farmer must be i'm
pressed with the necessity of increas-
ing his acreage of this crop, and then
when harvest comes, to prevent the
enormous loss from improper hand
ling and storing. The best way to
keep sweet potatoes is to store them
in well-ventilated storage houses, not
"dugouts." Storage houses should
be made ready as soon as possible.
In Farmers Bulletin 54S, STORING
and Marketing Sweet potatoes, In
structions for building such houses
and for converting old and un-
oceupied buildings are given.
