About Bur Glover.

During a visit to Winnsboro TINS
week the editor of The Yorkville En-
uuirer had the opportunity Of making
a few Investigations concerning the
origin, qualities and usefulness of that
remarkable soil building and renoVat-
ing legume known as bur clover.
While most York county farmers
are now familiar with bur clover as
the earliest and fastest growing legu-
me of which they have any knowledge
and. too, while they know it as one OF
the greatest producers of nitrogen IN
the whole list, not excepting COW peas
velvet beans, crimson clover, or any OF
the rest Of the great family, and while
it is commonly understood that Wlnns-
boro is the principal source of the seed'
unless The Yorkville Enquirer is mis-
taken, it is not generally appreciated
that so far as the agricultural world
is concerned, Winnsboro is the origi-
nal home of this legume, and except
where it can be traced as having been
brought from Winnsboro, it is not
known to the agriculture Of any other
country in the world.
Just at this time bur clover is to be
seen throughout the town of Winns-
boro and in the country surrounding in
all the glory of its full maturity. The
lawns and gardens are covered with
il, where it has not been plowed up,
and on many farms there are great
fields of it in which it has attained its
full development ready to be turned
under to fertilizc crops of corn or any
other crops that can still wait for a
few weeks for seeding.
The great value of bur clover lies in
it's excellence as a cover crop for the
late fall, through the winter, and es-
pecially in the early spring, when it
not only makes excellent pasturage at
time when there is no grass; but
when ii can be turned under to pulVer-
ize and enrich the soil as it is enriched
and pulveriZed by no other growing
thing.
There are various theories around
Winnsboro as how bur clover came
there originally. There are people who
say that it was brought there when
Sherman's army passed through.

cATAWRA PREsRYTERY

Catawba Presbytery of the Asso-
ciate Reformed Presbyterian church
ret with the church at Winnsboro
last Tuesday morning at IL o'clock
with practically all the churches rep
resented by thirty-fve delegates, and
after four earnestly busy sessions dur
Ing which little time was lost, ad-
iourreG Wednesday to meet in the
fall at TirZah, with Rev. X. \. Lum-
mus, of EdgmoOr as moderator.
The preSbytery was called to order
by Rev. X. d. Byrd, of Tirzah, re-
tiring moderator. and Rev. DR.. d. u.
Phillips, of Chester stated clerk, keep
ing the records as secretary, and al
ter q sermon, by the retiring modera-
tor, was reorganized with Rev. S. j.
Hood, of Unity church, Lancaster
county, in the chair The work OF
the session was gotten under way
with the announcement of the usual
committee appointments.
Tuesday afternoon was devoted
mainly to the hearing OF reports of
the committees, and Wednesday morn
ing was given over to action on the
same. and to various other matters,
mostly of a routine nature.
With regard TO the overture from
Synod with reference to the endorse
ment of the revised Psalmody of the
United Presbyterian church the Pres
bytery, after a somewhat vigorous
discussion of the subject, voted -
stand bv it's previous action, which
means that it will continue to hold TO
the versions of the Psalms that are
now in accepted use in the church.
During the discussion it developed
that each church is now doing very
much as it pleascs with regard TO It's
psalmody, and some Of them are US
ing the new versions of the United
Presbyterian church that are hardly
distinguished from the hymns used in
other churches. The principal argu-
ment in favor of the change to the
new version was the claim that the
present old version will soon be out
of print and the a. r. j. church will

with members of congress or others
on the matter of appointment without
first obtaining the approval of Com
missioner Blair or the appointment
division. It was suggested that an
appeal might be made to Secretary
Mellon for a revocation of the order.
Mr.. Blair declared that the order did
not prevent duty commissioners or
division heads from comforting with
members of congress regarding ap-
pointments nor did it have any appli-
cation to Assistant Secretary OF the
Treasury Dover, who has re-organ-
lied the customs service and is under
stood to have under consideration a
number of changes in tie internal
revenue bureau. Mr.. Blair said his
order was issued without approval OF
Mr.. Mellon or Mr.. Dover because 1t
was such a routine matter affecting
only the internal procedure or the
bureau that it did not appear to re-
quire higher official authorization.
objection to Mr.. Blair's order was
taken in some quarters at the treas
ury on the ground that r G. Pollock
head Of the appointment division OF
tie bureau, who would pass upon the
eligibility of prospective Republican
appointees, is a Democrat.

be compelled to either print its own
books or do without, which argument
made little impression. Elder j. e.
Mcdonald thought that the main con-
Germ in the matter was one OF disci-
pline. and that presbytery would
stultify itself if it should declare in
favor of the old psalmody and con-
tinue to tolerate the use of the new.
The presbytery reaffirmed its former
action by a vote Of 81 to 6.
The overture on the subject of ro-
tary eldership was rejected by uran-
imous vote. without discussion.
During Tuesday afternoon Presby-
terry listened to trial sermons Of R.

that presbytery was moved to estab-
lish the same as a permanent institu-
ton with DR.. Oates as director.

Creek, Shiloh and Tirzah.
