A contest was recently staged be
tween 40 per cent dynamite and trini
trotoluene. and the latter won, says
the Scientific American. Two con
crete piers had TO be blasted ont and
this gave an opportunity for a com
parative test of the two explosives
with the result that l49 cubic feei
of concrete were removed per pound
of INT. and only 14.1 per pound of
dynamite.
INT Is no doubt destined to be
used extensively In engineering work
as II Is less sensitive than dynamite
but greater precautions must be taken
to ventilate after a shot. owing to the
large amount of carbon monoxide
which ls one of the principal products
of combustion.

YOUNG CALF DIDN'T WANT TO
BE RESCUED FROM THE WELL
Perhaps. 1t Went Down There To
Take Bath Before Breakfast

j. w. Collister OF the Third ward
tells of an odd experience with
young calf last week The calf was
missing, and search about the place
seemed fruitless. When he was
about to give up the quest, he dis
covered the calf half covered with
water at the bottom of a we'll. The
young creature must have been an
enthusiast for bathing, to venture in
a well this time of the year. Mr.
Collister hurried to the rescue, as he
does not believe in any such new
tangled nonsense as that a calf
should take bath in we'll before
breakfast.
Mr.. Collister had another man let
him down into the well by means Of
n rope. 1t was then discovered that
the rope was not strong enough to
support man and calf at the
same time. So the question arose as
to which should go first, the man or
the calf. II the man were to be
given first attention, the poor calf
would die before another and strong
er rope could be brought On the
other hand, if the calf were given
first aid first, 1t might get stubborn
and on it's way up to the sunlight
and fresh air kick some rocks loose
from the side of the we'll, which
same rocks would fall down on the
unprotected head Of Mr. Collister
For he had underestimated the ca
pacity for evil. which belongs to
young calves when interrupted in
their first bath before first break
fast
1t was decided that the risk
should be taken by the man. The
calf should be saved.
The calf proved how ungrateful
a creature can be to its benefactors.
For, with malice aforethought, the
consarn animal did kick stone
loose from the side of the well
and
Mr.. Colister's head is reported to
be almost well; and. to prove how
goodnatured he is. he has fully for
given the calf for kicking that stone
loose. He and the calf are said to
be on the very best of terms.

Kills Live Stock Industry.

Furthermore, it has been shown that
the single county of Orangeburg has
more hogs and other live stock than
all the free range counties combined
There is no trouble to establish the
fact that where free range exists the
quality of live stock must be poor and
the quantity small
In fact, free range makes practical
ly impossible development of the live
stock industry on any considerable
SCALA:
The question is simple one. A few
men wish to run COWS and hogs over
thousands of acres of land, owned by
somebody else. They reap the benefit;
the other fellow pays the taxes.
AS matter of fundamental honesty
this requires no arguing. The Consti-
tuition of the United States forbids any
State passing low impairing the
validity of contracts. A man holds his
land in fee from the State. The State
objects taxes on it as a charge for
protecting it and of insuring peaceable
possession.
Then, under free range, permission
is given other parties to use this land
for cattle range, thereby destroying
the owners right and upsetting his
contract with the State.
Whether the lawyers see it that way
or not, this is plain violation of the
Constitution Of the United States. The
contract has not only been impaired; it
has been abrogated.
How the Thing Works.
ILet us see how it works. Here are
four counties possessing the richest
land in America. They are thinly set
tied and citizens have been driven out
of them by thousands, taking their
earning capacity and their influence
into other counties, Berkeley, for ex-
ample, lost its best developed portion
simply because the citizens in that
area refused to live longer under such
a system. Colleton has already lost a

the one hand, and Dorchester and
Berkeley on the other, is equally int
pressivc.
The lands of Dorchester and Eerke-
ley are even better than the lands of
Orangeburg. Al we'll informed men
Know this to be true. Yet, while
Orangeburg is one of the foremost
agricultural counties nthe United
States. Dorchester and Berkeley are
among the very worst from the same
point Of view.
Again, the contrast is equally strik-
ing between Jasper and Beaufort,
Beaufort has become modernizcd, has
shot forward and taken rank with the
best. Port royal Island is a picture an

exact proportion can not now be re-

will assuredly lose more. Dorchester
will infallibly lose its uppcd portion
whenever conditions aro ripe and the
change can be made.
Moreover, these counties were among
the first settled by white men in South
Carollna> For fifty years they have
been losing population; and there an,
pears no hope of change, so long as
the free range continues.
Not many years ago, the region
around Meggett and Longe's Island
voted out Of Colleton and into Charles
ton, for no other reason than that
conditions in Colleton County made it
impossible for them to continue in it.
All along the line there is progress
sive degeneration. The wave of pros
perity that struck the State during the
war and sent land values skyhigh
made not the slightest impression on
these cattle belt counties.
Progressive citizens naturally drain
out; reactionaries naturally drain in.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1920-08-11

Our people, by firing the woods and

WHAT THE FREE RANGE ISSUE
MEANS TO SOUTH CAROLINA
No Hope of Real Progress in Cattle
Belt Counties Until Country Is
Made Free for Men and Not for
Hogs.

At the coming Democratic primary
the question of the free range of cat
tie is TO be voted on in four counties
of the South Carolina coast, namely,
the counties of Berkeley, Dorchester,
Colleton and Jasper.
Why the General Assembly of South
Carolina decided to submit such a ques
tion to popular vote in four counties,
and denying such vote to the rest,
belongs to the underworld of politics.
There is neither rhyme nor reason in
such action.
1T was clear that the free range of
cattle was against sound policy and
good morals anywhere in civilized
State. The lower House, where the
question was debated thoroughly, de-
cided, by an overwhelming vote, that
no such condition would be tolerated
In the closing days of the session the
deft hand of political jugglery came
into action The result no man has
attempted to explain.
ii;S "RSi.p! - |ht CoiiulIloH coilionC-
ing these four counties. They have
to vote on the question of whether
the free range Of cattle shall be per-
niittcd OF not.
, 1t may be taken for granted that
the farm population is opposed to it..
There is not real farmer in the
State who favors free range. 1t is in
conceivable that any farmer should;
for thereby he imposes an oncrous tax
on himself by having to fence his land.
Cases are on record where the cost of
fencing one farm exceeded the value
OF all the live stock returned in whole
township.
