who has been shown numerous social
attentions, has already proved her
self a most charming young hostess,
and the mansion will be bright with
the presence of young people during

Memorial Building bearing the big
flag as though it were a canopy.
They passed between a double line
of students and halted in the center
of. the campus where the 60-foot
pole was ready for the flag. Miss
Anna Lea HARRISON, president of the
students union, attached the flag to
the cords, and slowly raised it as
the band played the "Star Spangled
Banner"
AS it reached the top and the breeze
flung the folds open, a special squad
of cadets fired the salute to the flag.
Afterwards Miss HARRISON made a
brief address of welcome, and then
DR.. II. ]. Pearce, gave a beautiful
talk on the meaning of the flag.
Miss Katharine Lumpkin, president
of the Wilson Club, under whose
auspices the flag was raised, gave
an address after which there was
music by the university band.
The flag will be raised each morn
ing at sunrise, and will be lowered at
sunset. The flag pole was the gift OF
the Georgia Railway and Power Com
pany.
After the exercises the university
boys remained as the guests of the
college at lawn party.

Tallahassee, Fla, April 28.-Far
from feeling discouraged over the
killing of the suffrage bill in the
house this week, those friendly to the
measure express themselves as salts
fled with the shape in which the is
sued now stands, for it is in splendid
| condition to meet with unconditional
success two years hence. Both the
men and women who have been at
work are of the opinion that they
have fought good fight, and that
woman suffrage is in much better and
more systematic shape than ever be-
fore. Mrs. w. S. Jennings, who has
been one OF the leaders in the fight
which has been carried on so meri-
toriously this session, leaving for
Jacksonville last. night, said she would
return again to work for the cause in
another direction. She has made large
numbers of friends both among the
men and the women, and her dignified
| and mastery manner of meeting sit
uations of every kind has placed her
| foremost among all who have come
to the capital to ask for the enfran-
chising of women.
Mrs. Broward and Mrs. Stranahan
have been her valued and efficient CO.
workers, and Florida women could not
possibly have had their cause in more
| efficient hands, statement which
| is borne out by the foot that the bill
came nearer passing than ever be-
fore.
| Woman suffrage has come to NEAR
much more, probably, even among
its enemies at this session of the
/ legislature. Miss Minnie Kehoe, OF
Pensacola, who belongs to that type
of dignified, tactful lobbyist which
does the most good among the friends
and foe alike of suffrage, was one OF
the best workers, too, that the league
had in Tallahassee in 1915, and hel
splendid tactics during the Legislature
of that year made more friends fol
the measure than was even realized
at the time. Suffrage leaders are
! approaching the value of the tact
full, conservative woman when impor
tant matters need careful, detailed
attention.
Those in Tallahassee who are in
trested in what is or is not to happier
in the state board of health on Jun,
10th, have received the news wit
interest that Dr. j. Y. Porter may b
: retired as ieutenant-c colonel, an,
: deputy surgeon general.
Miss Frances D. Herndone, o

: whole of the legislative session i
Tallahassee, was a guest at the man

To prove His purpose here.
His erring c. ldren grieve Him,

To gauge their worth and virtue

Then change the body's stature

So close beside the wall?

From all indications the fertilizing

chief of the soil and chemistry divis.
ion Of Clemson College. Potash and
available phosphoric acid are being
secured directly or indirectly from
different sources. while the organic
materials carrying nitrogen are being
much used to take the place OF feeds
that can be released as human food.

Further. land that is well supplied
with organic matter makes a better
use OF ground phosphate rock.
The principal winter legumes
adapted to South Carolina are the
vetches and clovers, while in summer

, suits as legume crops. Alfalfa is an
excellent nitrogen gatherer but Is
rather expensive and sometimes diff
fcult to get started. and then must
remain on the land for three or four
years to give it's full returns.
The idea that a large part OF tho

Experiments indicate that only SIX

pea plant is stored in the roots, 6.5

MASS MEETING

A mass meeting of the citizens of
Chesterfield County has been called
by Supervisor f. r. Knight, to be
held next Wednesday, Nov. 2Sth at
| A. NJ. at the Courthouse.
1t will be remembered that at a
similar meeting some time ago COM
mittee of prominent citizens was ap-
pointed to study the road situation
in Chesterfield County as well as the
financial condition of the same. The
duty of this committee was to present
recommendations for changes in our
road laws and the laws governing the
finances of the County
This committee made tentative
report to the supervisor and it is now
desired to put the matter up to the
taxpayers.
AT the recent meeting in the Su
pervisoi CGice the following re-
concentrations were made, though
there have been some changes in
these
Recommended That: A law be en-
acted causing levy of mills on all
property of the townships that have
rot voted on road bonds and tifat
each person between the ages of 2l
and so years be required to pay ca
putation tax of $500, this to be col
lected as other taxes.
I'd. That the county supervisor be
required to start labor gang i'm each
township that has not the bond sys-
TEN and that the Supervisor be re-
quircd to employ good and compc-
tent man for each township, that as
many hands be employed as the
funds will permit and that the Super
visor be required to see after their
work the same as the chainganG; and
that the county senator with the re-
prcsentatives appoint three good
men in each township without pay
to advise the Supervise" and. fore
man of the township gang rs to the
best plans to pursue in their town
ship.
Sd. That the commutation tax in
the township working under the bond
system be turned over to the bond
commissioner of the said township
to be used as the township funds and
accounted Tor by the bond commits
sioners the same as other funds.
These are substantially the recon-.
mendation which the tax payers will
be invited to consider at the Mas
Meeting next Wednesday.
