line crimson clover gives good re-
suits. In the extreme south bur
'c1oyer, vetch and crimson clover
are used, as we'll as be3yet beans
and COW peas.
In the extreme southwest. parti-
cularly with the .orchardista or
southern California, common yetcn
is sown in the fail and turned un-
der as early as possible IN. the
spring. Purple vetch Is preferred.
as it can be turned under cne
month earlier than other varieties,
but until recently there has been
extreme scarcity of seed, q condf-
ton which is being remedied
through the efforts of the Depart
ment in getting the seed grown as
more northern sections oil the
coast.
Sour clover is used to large exc
ent, as the seed is cheaper than
that Of the vetches. Further north
on the coast common Vetch gives
good results, while east OF the
mountains in the northwest hairy
vetch is used because Of It's eold-
resistant properties.
Methods with cover crops cary.
In the south they are customartiy
sowed between rows Of cotton at
the last picking. It is also common
| to SOW, the winter crop between
corn rows before harvesting.
Wherever clean cultivation is prae-s
ticed the soil is likely to be In
shape for broadcasting the seed. IL
convenient, it can be narrowed in.s
In orchards q light narrowing or
disking may be employed II the.
ground is free from sod. Care must
of course, be taken not to injure
the roots. The crop Is usually pIoW-
ed under in the spring. but this Is
not always done with orchards,
Data collected in all parts OF the
United States shows general bene-l
at from this form Of agriculture.
Cover crops are Of especial value
to small gardeners ad truckers. who
often find it both difficult and ex-;
pensive to obtain stable manure.
They add the hunnus which Is 30
necessary to maintain q good ply
s.cal condition Of the soil. Wher-
ever there Is a vacant place In the
garden few seeds Of rye. veteh.
clover, etc., may be sown and raked
In. If a suitable rotation OF crops
| is followed all parts Of --he garden
may be covered with a green Ina-:
nure crop once every two or three
wears. II -

Yesterday Mayesv1lle won over
Sumter in the second game played.
The game although not as fast as
the one the day before was very ex-
citing towards the last when it look
as if Sumter would tie the score.
Shealey, pitching for. Sumter was
not as good as when he pitched
against Hartsyille and held them to
one hit. After the first few inn
ings the. countrymen seemed
TO get ON to him and
pounded him all over the lot. In
the first inning Sumter made one
score. In the second Mayesville
made one and Sumter was unable
to connect at all Mayesvillei got
two in the third by heavy hitting
and Sumter got none. Sumter scored
no. more until the seventh while
MayesviIle picked up one in the
fourth. In the seventh Mayesyille
added three more runs to their al
ready long list, knocking several
three baggers.
Sumter also hit the call in this
inning and was able to score q. In
the eighth Mayesville got one max
ing a total Of eight runs. Sumter
go two n the eighth when Marin
Rocked a home run over LETT field
fence sending yShealey in ahead OF
him. This was the only home run
Of this sluggig game Neither SIDE
was able to score in the ninth and
the final score was Mayesville eight
and Sumter five. The ability Of the
Mayesville players to hit the ball
in all the pinches and the numer-
Gus errors made by the Sumter out
fieIders made this an easy game for
Mayesville.
sumter will play the Camden
team today and tomorrow and all
those who like a hard fast game
will be out to see these two games
Yesterday Sumter lost her first
game to Camden blythe close score
of three to two. The game was
|anybodys until the 9th when Cam
den brought in the deciding run.
Sumter lost her chance to win In
the eighth inning when she filed
the bases with no one out. But
here Cadmen tightened and made a
double, getting the man IN home
and one on first. The score was a
tie until the ninth when Camden
came to bat. One man was out
and one man on second. The next
man up knocked a long, fly to cen
ter field. O'Connor caught the
ball and threw TO third to get
the man who had tagged second
after the fly was caught and start
ed to. third. The man would have
reached third but no farther out
the ball hit him on the back OF the
neck and bounced some distance
in the field and the man continued
home.
Today Sumter will play Camden en-
here, again and tomorrow in CaNe'
den.

Mayesville Comes
Back in End Game
Mayesville Wins in Slow
Game

Last Monday afternoon Sumter's
new team beat the fast Mayesville
team by the score Of four to three
in hard fought game which last
ed ten Innings. Sumter won large
1y through the ability Of her play
ers to hit ac dher brilliant fielding.
Mayesville made two scores in the
first inning and one more in the Sc
cond and seemed to have the game
sewed upu After this the game
rocked along with neither side scor-
ing until the fourth inning when
Sumter came to bat. In this inn
ing Sumter woke up and begun to
hit the ball. Two three baggers
and tow singles brought in two
scores before the side was retired.
No one scored until the ninth and
it looked as;if Mayesville would win
in spite of Sumter's heavy hitting
in the fourth. But the players came
to the bat with a great deternaina-
ton and made a score on Martin 8
single to right field. Mayesville

the tenth and as it was beginning
to get dark many thought that the
game would END tie. Sumter
got a man on second and q man On
third with no outs and then Craw-
ford and Shealey tanned. The last
man up, the other Shea1ey, let two
strikes pass and then Knocked a
clean single into right field and
the game was won.
Sumter now has one Of the best
se1ni-profeSsional teams in the
state. Camedn who was supposed
to have the best team in the state
was beaten Last week by Mayesville.
Sumter has two more games with
Mayesville in the series and If she
wins Sumter people can well say
that we have the best semi-profes-
sional team inztfle state. Yester-
day there was a good crowd out
but not as big as the, class Of base
ball played yesterday would war
rant. The local. team will meet
Comden the latter part of the week
and some more good bail may be
expected.

LAW AGAINST IYNCnlE6.

and making participation in mob
! a felony punishable with death.
! beth Houses of the Legislature APP
proved the most stringent anti
I lynching bill thus far enacted by
any of the States.
II. i. Capchart. the colorcd mem
! Der nr the House of Delegates from
Mcdowell county, sponsored the
measure in the lower branch. over
coming the opposition of the DG!no
! cratic minority which sought to a
mend the bill in various particulars
rs originally drawn. the bill pro
vidcd for n forfeiture of S2I.n10
by the county III which the lynch
ing WAS done. and made every
county thru which the mob pass
Jointly and >cvcrally liable. To
meet the objections of many Of his
party members and secure their
support. Capchart reduced tine Il
mount to $4,000 and limited the
forfeiture to those counties whose
citizens might aid and nbrt tine
lNnchcrS.
No good citizen can approve
lynch law nor object to 4 reason
able and proper law to prevent re-
sort to it. We can hardy conceive
Of case in which private indivId-
ual> could be justified in taking
the punishment Of crime into their
OWN hands. Our laws guarantee
10 every man charged with crime
to right To Il fair and impartial trial
by Il jury Of his peers. The denial
Of this fundamental right would
lead inevitably to the gravcSt con-
sequences. But why should Il coun-
; ~ be mulct in damages for crimes
committed possibly ut might by
!awlcSS men Sncaking in, conccIv-
able from some other county, and
committing Il crime which neither
! The county nor lis officers had a
cnancc to prevent? True in many
communities lynchinsS do not re-
cclvr the condemnation they always
| deserve. This Indifference to the
application OF lynch law to par
tlcuar crime comes from the natur-
al desire OF all men to see hcnious
crime promptly and properly pun,
! lshcd. But however natural such
4 desire may be ii cannot justify
dcprivins any man Of his life with.
out due process of law to which
the fundamental law of all nation.
gives him an absolute right which
no man may question. But car
there be any propricty in punish.
a society for the crime of one OF
more Of its members?
Capchart's bill was warmly SUD
ported by T. q. Nutter, a colorcG
delegate from Kanawha county.
1t can hardly be questioned, We
think, that this bill, or the particu
lar feature Of it to which we have
called attention, was passed by tho
Republicans Of the Legislature tc
curry favor with the colorcd voter.
No ono will consider partisan mo
