,-~e4a.e Justlce, Judge McIvor being
in line for promotion to the CHIEF
justiceship. Judge Wallace told me
of the circumstances and said thai
certain of his friends were pushing
him for the place Of chief of justice.
which he did not want and thought
himself not entitled to; but he did
wish to be associate justice and fear.
ed this move would defeat him.
AS an instance Of how clean-cut
was his conception of the fitness of
things, Judge Wallace, on returning
home to Unionwould not stop in CO.
lumbia, but went into the country
and spent the night with a friend.
Few knew that he had passed
through the city.
Just as the general assembly con-
vened, it so happened that the histor-
ical society of South Carolina inaug-
urated a campaign to secure trans
cripts of our Colonial record from
the master of the Rolls palace in
London and for that purpose called
a meeting in Columbia. The histor-
ical society put out the report that it
desired to enlarge its scope and
membership and appointed delegates
from each county in the state. Gen.
eral Johnson Hagood and myself
were delegates from Barnwell coun-
ty. We accordingly went to Column
bia and attended the meeting. The
was accomplished, the gener-
al assembly provided for the pur-
chase of transcripts of the records;
and this was the last heard of the
enlargement of scope and member
of the South Carolina Histori-
cal society.
When we arrived in Columbia, I
met DR.. ]. William Stokes, an active
Reformer, deep into the workings of
politics. DR.. Stokes showed me cor
dial friendship, although we were
on different sides in politics. One
was that 1 had pulled DR..
Stokes out of a tight place, when he
was editor Of The Cotton Plant, by
furnishing him information. I asked
1im what would be the result of the
election for judges on the morrow
and he replied at once.
"McIver will be elected chief JUS
ice and Pope associate justice. We
made a deal" He said the deal
vas made with Judge McIver and
hat Impression lay on my mind
many years; but later W. D. Evans

ID me that Judge McIver knew no

his: friends, W. d. Evans being an
active agent in securing it.
The result was as DR.. Stokes pre-
dicted and the evidence Of the deal
was overwhelming. As many reform
ers voted for Judge Wallace, it nee
essarily followed that. some straight
outs voted against him. He could not
otherwise have been defeated.
/ recall another occasion when a
man convicted for murder was ac-
Quilted by a partisan jury, politics
playing the leading role. Judge Wal
lace presided and when the jury re
turned its verdict, he threw his head
back. his brow w%idened, and his lips
were tightly shut, his blue eyes blaz-
ed. Outraged justice never displayed
a finer picture.
According to custom, dating back
to- the dawn of Anglo-Saxon civiliza-
laon, the jury held the fate of the
murderer in their hands, and they
reasoned. as one Of lem told me af-

Until the jury is charged with re,
sponsibility for its acts, reviewed by
d higher jury or court of cessation
as in France, then there will always
be a rotten spot in democracy,
canker in the heart of civilization
If every juryman knew that NJ
would be liable to be sent to the pen

trary to the evidence, there would b
a different tale to tell.
A little later came Judge Hudson

~dispensary law unconstitutional. Thl

!; and by the conservative democracy o

Rve For Soil And Livestock.

Rye is n of the crops that has
far greater possibilities in the South
west than many Of u farmers real
lie. The possibilities are not for a
amoney CROP" as the cash raising
crops are called, but for the gener-
al rotation on the farm. Rye Will
ordinarily yield as much cash per
acre as wheat in many localities
where the crop is threshed and sold
for seed. But its best use, according
10 the writer, is for a cover crop, for
green manuring and for grazing.
Why rye is not planted oftener
in the grain regions of the South
west is not easy to explain, unless 1t
is thee fact that few of u growers
realize the importance of :aore green
manuring to improve u worn
soils in vegetable matter and in fer
tility from decayed vegetation. 1t is
also unfortunate that many farmers
do not see the Importance OF pasture
crops such as rye makes. These two
uses of rye make it a very valuable
CROP and the writer hopes that the
practice of growing it will increase.
Soils Need Green Manure.
The cotton soils of Texas, Okla
homa, Arkansas annd Louisiana are
burning out the humus under the IN
fluence of the hot sun, intensified by
late and vigorous cultivation, which
are necessary for cotton. AS a result
the cottonyield is gettingless and the
quality of the staple is by no means
holding it's own. This will mean in the
very rear future that an enormous
expenditure must be made for com
mercial fertilizer. 1t is not by any
means easy to plans winter legumes
ON cotton land without losing anoth'
er crop of cotton or a corn or gran
sorghum crop,for I The reason that re"
winter legumes are adapted to the
warm cotton lands, annd further
more, the difficulties of getting, the
cotton picked in time to plant them
The writer believes that rye though
not a legume and not as benetlcla
to soil as a legume, has a place as
winter cover and green manurlns
crop combined.

Judge William H. Wallace.

terson house, then kept by Mrs.
Rowe. Everything bespoke planter
life and planter folks. The wide hall
ways, the inviting basement, the deep
windows and the glass doors leading

never will.
AS the fall term of court came on
a large crowd flocked to the town
and accommodations broke down UNI

that Judge Wallace, who was to pre-
side, had arrived and was unable to
find a room. / went at once to offer
him a share in mine. 1t was an i'm

had known Judge Wallace from the
late '7Os, and while living in Union
county later, now and then saw him
at Union, where he lived. His name
was n to conjure with. The prizes.
tige won by his bearing in the dark
days of 1876 had been enhanced by
his career on the bench. Throughout
South Carolina he had hailed as q
just, highminded and incorruptible
judge.
He was glad to see me and muct
pleased at the prospect of getting
quarters, but he said he could accept
nv offer on one condition only, and
to my amazement, said he would
take the room, provided he was al
lowed to pay board! He said his rule
was never to accept c%ourtesies lik'
this from friends while on circuit
And he firmly insisted. I had to Civ
in and take him on his own terms.

after the winter is over, the fertility
the plants have used with the need
ed vegetable matter goes back to
improve and enliven the soil.
The same practice is adapted to
corn land in many localities. Late in
the summer OF early in the fall the
corn grower may go over his corn
field while the stalks are still stand
ing and sow rye between the rows.
The rye crop ordinarily will get
started early and afford considerable
protection to the soil and when turn
ed go a long way toward building it
up. And what is to hinder farmers
from grazing their cows, their sheep
and their work stock during suitable
weather in the winter?
Those who plant rye for the grain
will usually find that the yield is bet
ter than wheat and the prices fully
equal to prices paid for wheat. At
least the writer has never bought
seed any cheaper than the current
market for wheat.

Prepare Land Early.

Where the land is to be prepared
for rye it should be done early and
pains should be taken to get the seed
bed ready when the time comes for
sowing. This grain is quite similar
to wheat in that it prefers a fine
seeded prepared sometime previous
to planting. Usually about the same
rate of seeding as for wheat, an av-
erage of six pecks per acre, is sown.
But the purpose for which the crop
is to be used and the kind of soil
will control this matter.
An experienced dairyman tells me
that fall pasturing of rye does not
materially injure the crop if pastur-
ed judiciously and that no other crop
is better for the milk-flow in fall,
except possibly wheat. My expert
ence in this is not sufficient to JUS
tify an opinion. But for hogs chick
ems and horses I am sure that rye is
excellent. Every man with beef cat
tie is losing, if rye can be grown in
fall and winter, if he does not grow
this crop for his cattle.
Rye Has Only a Few Enemies.
Rye has very few enemies in pests
and fungous diseases. Ergot, a fun
gus disease that has caused much
trouble in Europe, has seldom been
injurious in this country. Ergot is a
fungus causing a characteristic en-
largement of the grains that some
times produces abortion or gangrene
in animals when the grain is fed. To

the municipal finance committee, pre-
sented a comprehensive report pro-
testing the change. 1t was unani-

conferees.

Keller's Letter in Reply to SEN

Col. Keller. Engineer Commissioner Of
the District. chairman of the public
utilities commission. in letter to Sen
ator Ashurst of Arizona, which was
put in the Congressional Record by
Senator Jones of Washington yesterday
denies statement made In the Senate
by Senator Ashurst in which Senator
Ashurst claimed that the people of the
District paid far more for electric light
and power here than in other cities.
Col. Keller said in his letter:
Il feel sure you will be glad to
prevailing in the District of Columbia
which are. as you know. based upon
the commissions valuation of the Po-
tomac Electric Power Company
property used in the public service
and not on it's capitalization.
This valuation was made by the
commission as of December 81, 1916
and amounted to 11.231.17O.43 on that
date. Many additions to the property
have been made since that time, due
to the great increase in the use of
electricity. SO that on December 81
1921, the valuation. on the commits
sion's basis. was s1S,946,245.3O. Fol-
lowing the ascertainment of the valu-
alton of 1916, the commission reduced
the rates for electric current approx
imately 20 per cent. the maximum
rate of 10 cents per kilowatt hour for
household consumers being reduced
to cents. Owing to large increases
in the cost of materials and labor in
cident to the war. it was necessary
for the commission. in 1920. to in
crease these rates y cent per kilo-
watt hour. Since then. however. two
reductions of 5 per cent each have
been made by the commission, so that
the rates in effect today are as shown
on the inclosed table.
These rates compare quite favor
ably with those in effect in other
