Summer Legume Catch Crops.

Clemson College, June 2S.-Ef pos
sible all stuble lands should be seed
ed down in peas OF beans for soil i'm
provement at once where moisture
conditions will permit, advises n. f.
Winters, extension agronomist, who
saws that summer legume catch crop
of peas OF velvet beans not only helps
to save plant food from teaching away
but also obtains from the air through
the bacteria living on their roots
large amounts of valuable nitrogen
during the summer and fall months.
After the wheat and oats ere har-
vested, bacterial action goes on N the
soil rapidly, making plant food solu'
BILE and available for the use of plants.
IF the soil is left bare for several
months, large amounts of expensive
nitrogen are leached out by the sum-
mer rains and lost in the drainage
waters. Lysimeter experiments show
that where growing crops are kept on
the land, only five or ten pounds of
nitrogen are lost in the drainage
waters annually; but that where land
is left bare, from seventy-five to one
hundred and fifty pounds are lost an
nually, depending on the climate, tenn
perature, and rainfall.
Peas or beans may be planted broau'
cast and disced Or in rows and cult,
waited, according to labor conditions
and the farmers choice. One bushel
or more of seed per acre is necessary
if planted broadcast; whereas, II
planted in rows, one peck or less IS
sufficient. A method which Mr.. Win
ters has found successful is to throw
out the stubble into the furrows with
middle buster or lister and plant
in rows in the bottom of these fur
rows. The combined lister and plant
Ell is very convenient for this purpose
permitting the whole to be done al
one operation.

II BODIES FOUND
IN FARM HOUSE
AXE, REVOLVER, SHOTGUN, RI
FILE AND OIL CAN POINT
FOUL PLAY.

Mayfield, KY. June 26.-The bodies
of five adults and six children were
found in the ruins of the home of
Earnest Lawrence, a farmer living
about seven miles from here, which
was destroyed by fire last midnight.
There are indications that the dead
may have been the victims of foul play
and at a coroner's inquest held here
non-committal verdict was rendered.
The dead are Earnest Lawrence,
81, his wife 25, and three children
ranging in age from five years to
eleven months; Otis Drew, %, and
wife %, and three children ranging
from four years to four months, and
Delmar Drew, rs. Lawrence and Otis
Drew were brothers-in-law and the
Drews were brothers.
Neighbors who were attending a
picnic about mile from the Lawrence
house, log structure of only two
rooms, saw the blaze about 11:30
o'clock. Two young men, the first to
arrive on the scene, were unable to
enter the house OH account of the fire,
but climbing a tree nearby could see
the bodies lying on the floor.
An examination of the bodies, which
were burned beyond recognition, show
ed that one of the women bore wounds
that seemed to have been made by
some sharp instrument. The dress of
the infant which this woman is thought
to have been holding in her arms were
drenched with blood.
In one of the rooms in which sew
eral bodies were lying were revolver
containing six empty cartridges, a
shotgun, rifle with a cartridge that
had been discharged and another ex-
ploded cartridge nearby, a double
bitted axe on the bed springs near
the body of one of the men, and a
large oil can which had been kept in
the yard.
Particles cf clothing were clinging
to the bodies of the men, showing
that they had not retired before they
met death.
Screams of women and children and
several shots are said to have been
heard by the neighbors shortly before
| the fire was discovered.

HARDWICK BECOMES
GA. GOVERNOR
TAKES OPPORTUNITY TO DE-
FEND HIS STATE AGAINST
DORSEY'S CHARGE.

Reorganization of the finances ,ot
the state and relations between the
races were the principal SUBJECTS dis
cussed in both the inaugural addresse:
of Governor Thomas w. Hardwick an;
the final message of the retiring gov
ernor, Hugh NJ. Dorsey, to the legis'
lature last week.
Governor Hardwick took the oath Of
office last week in an outdoor ceremo.
ny, the first held at the Georgia cap
itol since Hoke Smith was inductec
into office in 1907. The new govern
or was accompanied to the rostrum
built on the west plaza of the capitol
by Governor Dorsey and former
Governors Jos. NJ. Brown and Nat E
Harris, where the oath was adminisd-
istered by Judge Roscoe Luke, of the
Court of Appeals.
Outbursts of applause several times
interrupted the new governors first
address, and especially those refer
ences to the necessity for economy ir
state affairs end his criticism of Gov.
ernor Dorsey's recent pamphlet on
race relations in this state.
No Real Basis for Charge.
Georgia has recently been indict'
ed" he said, "most unfortunately, ano
l think unjustly, in the form of public
opinion for mistrcating the negro, fol
peonage and other kindred crimes,
and, he declared, "there is no real
basis in truth and in fact, upon which
the accusation can rest" He said
there is no state and no country ir
which good law-abiding, peaceahle
negro can live with more security ,o
his life than the state of Georgia"
Governor Dorsey's reference to the
racial relations came in his closing
message to the Legislature, when he
declared mob violence should be sup
pressed and by state authorities, TO,
"if this is not done it is very prob
able federal intervention will not long
be delayed" He pointed out that
since his induction into office in June
(1917, the newspapers have carried ac'
counts of the lynching of fifty-eigh'
negroes in the state and said, "From
sources which so far as I know are
reliable, l have information Regarding
other lynchings not instituted in thai
list.
The retiring governor recommended
that state grand jurys composed OF
citizens selected from all sections
should be provided for as means o1
combating mob violence. He alst
urged that the governor be siver
authority TO remove any sheriff dere'
| lict in his duties.

Sweet Potato Marketing Comes First

The sweet potato, the coming "mon-
ey crop" of the south, is to be CIV
en- first attention under the cocpera-
tive marketing program of the Board
Chamber. This decision is the result
Of a recent conference CT your Execu-
tive Committee with the directors of
the South Carolina Sweet Potato AS
sociation, when our good offices were
placed at the disposal CT this affiliat-
ed organization.
The Board-C Chambers offer of assis-
tance to the Potato Association fol-
lows a close study of what is probab-
ly the most urgent agricultural prob
lem confronting the state of South
Carolina at the present time. Last
year, less than 10000 bushels Ito be
absolutely exact 35 carloads) of cur
eo sweet potatoes were shipped beyond
our borders. AS result Of the "crop
diversifcation" movement of the past
twelve months, it is quite possible that
South Carolina will have 100000 BUSH
els of this agricultural product for
which an outside market must be
found this year. Failure to find a
market for the sweet potatoes grown
in South Carolina this year will be a
big setback to our progress along
crop diversifcation lines. Besides, it
will mean a big financial loss to the
state, especially the farmer who has
already suffered great reverses.
The sweet potato is recognized as
the coming money crop" of the south.
Why? Here is the answer:
In 1920 the cotton crop brought
S36.83, and corn $22.O4, while in the
same year sweet potatoes yielded a
return of $122.s5 per acre.
Up until the present time practical
ly no concerted effort has been made
to enter the northern market or in
crease the southern consumption, as
the south has used practically ell the
"pit", and recently the "cured" sweets
it produced. Yes, large quantities OF
sweet potatoes are marketed in north
en markets from New Jersey, Della
ware and the east shore of Virginia
one company alone sells 100,000,0O0
barrels of Sweets" year and thinks
nothing of it!
South Carolina will have to compete
in the northern markets during the
fall months; but, with its delicious
sugary "Poto Rico Sweet" once
known, it has nothing to fear and it
can push its product to the limit dur
ing the months of January, February,
March and April. The sweet potato
can be and must be made one OF the
important cash crops of the state.
This is the task confronting your
organization at the present time. The
The announcement that it is to be un-
dertaken under the California Plan"
as our first marketing activity, should
meet with the unaniomus approval OF
every member of this organization
and all other forward looking citizens
of the state.

1t is equally pertinent now to ask
Emperor Simmons why. if he needed
Josiah Gilbert Holland to express his
own ideas, he did not give Holland
credit for the expression.
1t remains now to reveal the full
moral and spiritual outlook Of the
EMPEROR by showing how, in the

What if one of YOUR party should

as the Kladd enters with his candi-

"He would be Immediately banisbed

Does he know all this?" asks the

"All this he now knows" answers
the masked Kadd ''He has heard and
he must heed"
After the countersign is given, and
the candidates are led in to the place
of assemblage, where the masked Klans-
