his wounds suppuerated afresh, ne
cessitating his again going into
hospital. There he remained month,
when he was transferred to Moscow,
40 miles north.
At Moscow, Prince says he expert
enced the worst sufferings OF his
stev in Russia The hospital was
heated only two hours daily; there
were unframed nurses and only Few
doctors. and also a shortage Of medi-
cines- Food conditions were bad
Through the friendship Of an En-
glish Jew Bolshevfk soldier who had
been wounded. Prince learned Of an
international hospital maintained by
Hungarlans where conditions were
reported better.
Permission was obtained for his
transfer. but in three weeks hospital
authorities had not been able to fur
nish transportation for him across
Moscow. Finally the Englishman,
whose wounds did not prevent him
from walking, went to the hospital
officials and told them he had a re-

he would kill four Russians and then
himself unless conveyance was OBJ

TRANSPORTATION was then arranged.
and Prince went TO the international
hospital, from which he was released

Then he was taken to a home for

Moscow and under the better treat
ment and food he improved so much
in four months he was discharged
and sent to a concentration camp for
Austrian prisoners, arriving from ST.
IBERIA for repatriation The French
Red Cross issued his rations, which
he cooked himself

During his a months in hospitals,
Prince said he lived on a daily ration
Of a quarter OF a pound Of cooked
grain, three quarters Of a pound OF
black bread, which was so full OF
straw he was unable to eat IL, salt
herring soup. imitation tea, and an
ounce and a half OF sugar. He re-
ceived a pound OF tobacco monthly.
At the International hospital in
Moscow the. ration included one
ounce OF butter daily and also white
bread. He was the only man Of the
Is to receive butter.
After Princes release from the
concentration camp the French Red
Cross increased his ration, adding
potatoes, eggs, onions and oil for
cooking. Besides, during the two
months he was in Moscow waiting to
start home Prince bought his own
milk, meat and fruit with money
given him by Americans.
As an indication OF the rise Of prices
IN Moscow, Prince says that in May
he paid $50 rubles for a glass OF
milk from spectators. In July meat
was selling for 5000 rubles a pound.

ing the past year special plant dis
ease surveys have been made by
plant pathologists of the South Caro-
lima Experiment Station to deter
mine whether or not certain dam
gerous plant diseases which have
been brought recently into this coun-
try are present in this State. Special
effort was made to find whether the
wart disease of Irish potato had been
introduced into South Carolina.
This disease was recently found in
Pennsylvania and it was feared that
it might be spread into other states,
especially since some of the potatoes
of the same lot which were supposed
to have introduced the disease int
Pennsylvania were shipped into sew
eral of the southern states, including
three points in South Carolina. This
survey failed to reveal the presence
of this disease, and the Station plant
feel sure now that it viii
not make its appearance in this state
as a result of these shipments.

Negro Population Figures.

The following statistics are taken
from what is described by Mr.. Sam
uel Rogers, Director of Census, as
the most comprehensive statistical
report ever published on the subject
to which it relates" He adds: "It is
worthy of a note that the tabulations
for this report were made by a
corps of Negro clerks working under
the efficient direction of three men
of their own race namely, Robert
A. Pelham, Charles E. Hall, and
William Jennifer." The great mass
of the Negro population under the
jurisdiction of the United States is
resident in the United State. Of thc
total Negro population enp.nc:ote,.
in 1910, numbering 10,21@,4o- ii.
the United States, Porto Rico,
Hawaii, Alaska, and in military and
naval service abroad, 9,827,763, or
96.2 per cent, were returned from
the States, and 385,437 or 3.8 per
cent, from Porto Rico. The number
returned from Hawaii and Alaska is
relatively insignificant. During the
decade, 190o-1910, Negro popula-
| tion in the United States, including
that of outlying territories, in
creased by more than a million, and
of this increase, as of population in
1910, only a small proportion was in
outlying possessions. The rate of in
creasein the States, 11.2 per cent.
considerably exceeds the correspond
| ing rate of 6 per cent in Porto Rico,
while the higher rates recorded for
Hawaii and Alaska represent very
small absolute population changes.
According to the same government
census report the percentage of
Negroes in the population Of States
runs as follows:

FARM TENANCY IN
SOUTH CAROLINA

SiXty-three per cent of all of the
farms in South Carolina are oper-
ated by tenants. In 1910 there were
176,434 farms in this State, and of
these only 63,213 were operated by
owners and managers. !
Only two states in the nation have
a greater percentage of tenacy than
this state. There is Mississippi with
66.1 per cent of all her farm oper-
ated by tenants, and Georgia with
65.6 per cent.
The general average of tenancy in
the East North Central States, in
Guiding Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi-
gan and Wisconsin was 27 per cent.
The highest groups are the West
South Central States with So. 8 per
cent tenancy, the East South Gen.
trial with 50.7 per cent, and the
South Atlantic with 45.9 per cent.
These three consist largely of the
cotton growing States.
While the term tenants" accord
ing to the Thirteenth Census inter-
probation, includes both share-crop-
pers and renters, the situation is not
materially modified by this qualifica-
tion. The essential point is that the
greater percentage of the farms in
South Carolina are operated by
others than the owners themselves.
Moreover, the tendancy in this di-
rection seems to be on the increase.
In 1880 the percentage of tenancy
in South Carolina was sos; in 1890,
it was 55.3; and in 1900 the figure
was Gil. There has been accom-
panying this progressive decrease
in the size of farms from Sal acres
in 1850 to 1876 acres in 1910. Tie
number of tenant farmers in lSSC
was 47,219 while in 1910, it was
.111,221.
Twenty-four counties in South
Carolina average more thar c. puY
cent tenancy. Marlboro leads with
.S0.4 per cent, Abbeville and Union
following with 77.9 per cent ard
7G.5 per cent. respectively.

AN EARLY EXCHANGE
OF RATIFICATICNS

Paris, January-Hopes have a@aln
been raised in supreme council cir
cles of an early exchange of ratltl-
cations of the treaty of Versailles.
The end cf the first week in January
is given as the probable date when
the treaty will be put into effect.
This prospect springs from the
conversation held yesterday between
Paul Dutasta, general secretary of
the peace conference and Baron Kurt
Won Lersneer, head of the German
mission here. 1t was said that the
chances were regarded good that the
Germans would decide to sign the
protocol, now the subject of negotia-
tions, without waiting for vertifica-
ton of the figures on har5or ton
mage demanded as reparation for the
sinking of the German ships at
Scapa Flow.
1t is explained that the supreme
council will satisfy Germany's de-
mand for more specific declaration
on the reduction of the tonnage ask
ed for through affixing to the proto-
col text of M. Dutasta's verbal de-
claration to Baron Won Lersner on
the subject.
The Rhineland commission, on
which the United States is not as
yet represented officially, is expect
ed to meet as soon as practicable af-
ter the treaty is promulgated. This
commission will have jurisdiction
over the territory occupied by the
allied troops in the Rhineland, in
cluding the American contingent.
The allied military mission dealing
with the subject of transporting al
lied troops to the districts where
plebiscites are to be held under the
treaty reported to the council today
that satisfactory arrangements has
been made with the Germans for
the movement of these forces. It is
estimated that it will require two
weeks to get into Silesia the num-
Der of troops it is proposed to send
to that plebiscit area.

NEW APOSTLES
OF MULTIPLICATION

State Senator Thomas Brown of
New Jersey, in fulfillment of cam
pagn promises to tear the heart out
of national prohibition, is preparing
to introduce a bill in the New Jersey
Legislature which, he says, is likely

ne South Carolina Notification
Resolution of 1882.
The South Carolina notification
doctrine brought about "the in
evitable conflict, made one whole
section of the nation a shambles and
became finally extinct at Appomat-
toX, never to be revived.
The Eighteenth Amendment can
not be nullified. 1t cannot be evaded.
1t is the law, the fundamental law.
Moreover, it represents the de-
liberate verdict of the American
people. It was not sanctioned by
hysteria, it was not brought into be-
ing in the darkness of the night, but
in the broad glare of day, and there
was behind it so mighty a public
opinion that it proved a Juggernaut
to tricky politicians and adroit
manipulators in every Common

industry, so overwhelmingly re-
pugnant to the religion and morality
OF the whole people, that in the end

weighs 20 pounds, leave all the meat
in cure for 80 days.
Meats cured in sweet pickle or
brine should be consumed within 80
days from date of cure. Meats cured
with dry cure may be consumed i'm
mediately upon removal from cure,
but the flavor improves with age,
and the meat is better 60 days after
curing. Dry cured hams have been
known to keep 3 or 4 years.
