Oats, Wheat, and Hairy Veteh'

Clemson College, Oct t.121.-A sug-
oestion Of interest just at this season
comes : from a report made last winter
by N. G. Thomas, until recently
county agent of Mccormick County.
"A mixture of oats, wheat, ana
hairy vetch in the following proper
tions makes hay mixture that Is
unsurpassed for acre yield and feed
ing value.
2 bushels Of Fulghum oats.
bushel Of Wheat, and
20 pounds Of Hairy Vetch.
During this past year, I had 2a
farmers to try out the above mixture
for hay purposes on a small scale.
All reports Of results have been ex-
ceedingly favorable; and the reports
are confirmed by the numerous IN
quiries from the sections where
these demonstrations were put on
relative to assistance in getting some
of the mixture already. have 30
farmers who are trying the above
mixture. It comes on very early as
a hay, and gives up the land in due
time for making crop Of cotton or
corn"

special blanket ruling ;is made xhich
allows all ex-service men 70 rsin5tate
their insurance before December 81,
1919, provided that each applicant Is
in as good health as at date Of dis
charge or at expiration Of the grace
period, whichever is the later date,
and SO states in his application. OF
course it is necessary that he tender
the two months premiums on the am
cunt of insurance he wishes to rein
state.
Service men who reinstated their
insurance by payment of all back
premiums prior to July 25iHs4sls'
when the decision requiring payment
of only two months premiums went
into effect, upon written application
to the Bureau may have any prem
iums paid in excess of two appheo
toward the payment Of iusufe
premiums. For example, if after q
policy had lapsed for six months q
man reinstated and paid six months
premiums instead Of two, he may a' se-
cure credit for four months, prem
iums. gs
The provisions for reinstatement
do not protect man until u he lu actually
reinstates. If he waits he may not
be in as good health as he was at the
time Of discharge and consequently
may not be able to secure relnssa'eS-
1ient.

EXAMINER FOUND
 NOT GUILTY BY JURY
Former Deputy Constable Is Cleared of Robbery Charge
 in Criminal Court

F. l.. Brammer. a one-armed former deputy constable of precinct nine. charged with robbery. was acquitted by a jury yesterday afternoon. after a few minutes deliberation in the criminal divi- sion of the circuit court, Judge w. E. Fort presiding.
 o. B. Riddle, taxicab driver, testify ing for the state. stated that he was held up and robbed of s1O.5S by "a one armed man" as he was returning from a trip beyond Milner Heights late one night last June.
 He stated that the robber held a gun on him and compelled him to put the mon- ey in his pocket.
 The defense claimed that the prosecu- ton was franc ID by certain taxi drivers who had a SD against Examiner for having arrested e of their number. les timony showed at the driver did not report the robbery the night it occurred. but waited till next noon. Character wit nesses were called, who testified to hay ing known Brammer since childhood. They all gave him an excellent reputa- ton.
 On the stand Brammer stated that he knew nothing of the robbery until &C., cused of it. He stated that he had not been in the district of the robbery any evening in June When he voluntarily faced Riddle the latter did not say that he was the robber. but merely that he filled the description of the man who robbed him.

PUBLISH ALABAMA
 BAPTIST HERE NOW
Official Organ of Denomination Re turned to Birmingham and Issues
 First Paper Today

The Alabama Baptist, the official organ of the Baptist state convention, will be published in Birmingham today The move from Montgomery here was made in the past week and followed decision to change places of publication made seV- eral weeks ago. The change was made because of better printing facilities ot- fered by Birmingham, because Of thts citys more central location so far as the work of the paper and it's representatives were concerned and because the malls could reach the majority of the subscrin- CTS quicker from Birmingham than from Mont gomery. The fact that more adver- Using could be secured for the paper in this city is also said to have had some weight.
 The Alabama Baptist had been pub lished in Birmingham for 15 years or more by Frank Willis Barnett, but when he sold the paper to the state convention last October it was decided to change to Montgomery because the denominational headquarters were located there. The change was made January l, but after nine months, Dr. l.. l.. Gwaltney, the edi- tor, again hearxened to the call of Bir- mingham's advantages and returned to this city.

P. Heflin's court yesterday aft ernoon. Clark was charged with the kill ing of Arthur Williams, negro, at Fossil mines in November, 1917. From the tes- timony it appeared that the two men quarreled over the possession of s, Clark claiming that s which Williams had be- longed to him.
 An argument ensued in which Will Hams drew knife and Clark a pistol. Clark shot the. former and was unhurt himself. Much conflicting testimony was given by negro witnesses.

 Henry Ford wired the commission today that he did not care to testify before it now, as his working model of new gasoline car which it has been said would revolutionize urban trans portation, had not been Icompleted. Ralph S. Vaue0 during the morning session. told the commission that street cars like elevators in buildings, should be operated without charge for riders, and that municipalities should pay for the service.

He made enc request. that his wife be set free. Nothing definite can be stated as to the total amount Of the checks he has passed to date.
