Others Named in Governors

N2ce.
The Office of governor seems to be
the focusing point for the vision of
Eall political eyes in the state, all am
bitions seeming to be aimed at pres
ent at that office. Today new names
are mentioned in connection with
next years race for the governors.
mansion, and already the list of pos
sible candidates is long. -
There is persistent report in Co
lumbia to the effect that movement
is on foot in Greenville to put B. q.
Geer, former professor at Furman
and now banker and cotton mill ex-
ecutive, in the race for governor. Mr..
Geer's name is possibly the last to be
mentioned in this connection. 1t is
stated that Greenville, men are en-
thusiastic in their endorsement of Mr..
Geer as a possible candidate.
The name of United States Dis
trict Attorney Francis H. Weston, of
Columbia, has also been considered in
connection with the race, and it is
understood his friends have suggest
ed that he run.
State Senator George Washington
Wightman of Saluda, known as
'Battle Axe" because of. his ruthless
attacks upon the governmental
expenditures, has definitely announc-'
ed that if he enters the arena he will
run for governor and he has indicat-
ed that he intends to be in the race.
He stated inf Columbia recently, in
answer to the direct question as to
his candidacy, that he would run for
governor, unless some other strong
man entered the race on the same
platform as his.
Former Congressman Lever will
also likely be a candidate, as will al
SO former Governor Blease, former
Lieut.. Governor Bethea, former At
torney General Thos. H. Peoples,
and probably others. Among those
who are mentioned as possible candi-
dates are Lieut., Governor Wilson G.
Harvey of Charleston; State Senator
]. H. Marion of Chester; Col. Holmes
B Springs, of Greenville; Henry c.
Tillman, of Greenwood; Senator
George L. Laney, of Chesterfeld;
Mendel l., Smith of Camden; and w.
G. Query, of the State tax commits
sion.
Lieut.. Governor Harvey wants to
be governor, but if Gov. Cooper is
elected to the supreme court in jan
uary, leaving the governorship for
year to Mr.. Harvey, then the present
lieutenant governor will not be in
the race next year, it is understood.
Mr.. Query states that he has not
reached any decision as to the race,
though he il Icing urged to run. Mr..
Querry IS one of the best men of the
state and an authority on tax mat
tiers. His platform would likely be tax
reform, an unpopular subject. His
race would prove a great service to
the state, even though it meant the
sacrifice of the candidate.-Columbia

THREE METHODS AVAILABLE
FOR INOCULATING ALFALFA

Farmers sowing alfalfa this fall in
ground where alfalfa or related crops
such as bur clover or sweet clover,
have not been grown before, will
find it advisable to inoculate the soil
with the proper kind of nitrcgen-fix-
ing bacteria. The same is true Of
clover, peas, or any other legume The
United States department of agricul-
ture says thee are three principal
methods OF inoculating soil-by direct
application of soil from a field known
to have suitable bacteria. by pure cul-
ture incubation. and Ivy the glue
method.
For the first, It is well to apply at
least 200 pounds OF finely sifted inoc-
ulated soil per acre. This can be done
with the fertilizer attachment of the
drill, or broadcastng by hand. Broad
casting will require larger guam
tity and should be done In the early
morning, late evening or on Il cloudy
day to avoid undue exposure to the
suns rays. The field should be i'm
mediately narrowed after broadcasting
Transferring soil from any consider
able distance is expensive and subject
to the danger of introducing trouble
some weeds insects and plant diseases
An easier method of fis'd soil inocu
latlon which has met with success
where only small amount of inocu
lated soil is available is to coat the
seed with inoculated soil by means
of ordinary furniture glue.

PARSNIPS AND SATISFY MAY
LEFT OUT ALL WINTER

Parsnips and satisfy are hardy, and
the roots may be safely left in place
through the winter. AS early in the
spring as they can be handled and be-
fore they start into growth, experts
OF the United States agricultural de-
partment advise. the roots should be
dug, carefully sorted, and the select
ed ones Immediately reset from 3
to feet apart. They will start into
growth at once, and generally will
produce good crop of seed. The
parsnip can be safely left in place
until the seed crop is fully ripe, when
1t can be cut and stored under shelter
till dry. The heads of satisfy open out
as they ripen and unless gathered the
seed will be blown away. II is neces'
sary, therefore. to gather the open
ing heads about noon of every day
and spread them in an airy place un-
III dry, when the seed can be rubbed
out. winnowed and stored.

Executions Lamented;;
Hoover Relief Lauded

Paris, Sept 29.-Russians represent
ing all political groups outside the
bosheviki party held a mass meeting
here Monday night and called on the
nations of the world to protest vigor
ously at Moscow against the recent
executions of "nteilectuals" by the
soviet authorities. Nresoution adopt
ed by the meeting designates the
crime as one Of the most horrible Of
modern times and certain to haster
the end OF the bolsheviki regime.
Several speakers lauded the work
Of Herbert Hoover and the American
Relief administration, saying that
the United states. through this or
ganization, was helping the Russian
people in a practical way, while many
other nations were not yet beyond
the talking stage.

Some Egg Shipping Dont's

Here are some "dont's" offered
by the United states Department Of
Agriculture that many times mean
the, difference between a loss or q
profit in shipping carload eggs.
Don't waste time and labor by using
cheap cases; time and labor are prec-
ious.
Don't save pennies by buying poor
filters and flats when you lose dol
lars in broken eggs. The saying OF
one egg would pay for the extra
cost of a set of No. | filters.
Don't nail braces to sides of car
against an incomplete top layer; they
seldom hold in place and often are
the cause of damage. They injure the
efficiency of the car insulation. The
use of small under.case braces will
prevent all of this.
Don't waste ice and refrigeration
by slowing the load so as to make
air circulation in the car impossible.
Don't tie up your money in freight
claims because of a loose load. Tie
up the load and leave the money
loose to work again.

NEAR EAST RELIEF
WANTS 5 MILLION
BUSHELS OF GRAIN

A few years ago you were willing
to risk your boys life for the sake
of justice and liberty. VIII YOU risk
few bushels of grain for the same
reason today?
For the plea of the Near East Re
lief for five million bushels of wheat
and corn for the starving people of
Armenia is just as much plea in
the name of justice and liberty as
was the call to arms in 1917. The
Armenian people, homeless, hungry
without friends in the world save
America. have suffered much because
OF their persistent loyalty to Chris
tianity and the principles which it
teaches. They have died by the
hundreds of thousands rather than
turn traitor to their faith.
They fought as our allies in the
Great War The peace treaty prom
iscd them an independent nation of
their own, where, unmolcstod they
might till their soil and carry on their
business in peace and quiet. But this
peace and quiet have not been theirs.
Ever since the Armistice those who
have patiently made their way back
to their old homes from the land Of
exile have been driven forth again
and again by the warning armies
frosl the north and west. Their crops
have been tramplcd underfoot, their
| harvests destroyed.
Huddled together in the refugee
camps of the Near East Relief, these
pitiful remnants of a faithful ma
tion wait not hopefully for the com
ing spring. Yet for them there can
be no coming spring if foodstuffs from
America are not sent over. There
can be no 1922 harvest If the farm
ers Of America do not share with then
the surplus of their 1921 harvests.
The Near East Relief is issuing Z
call for five million bushels Of grain
Just five million out Of more thar
eight hundred million that will be
harvested from American fields this
season; just a few bushels from you
Will you not remain faithful to the
cause for which you offered your boy
