LESPEDEzA IS BEST FRIEND
OF SOUTHERN FARMERS

Lespedeza is the farmers best
friend, Says DR.. A. B. Young of
Zachary, La, successful Louisiana
farmer. DR.. Young admits that this
is pretty broad assertion, but says
its truth is easily proved.
Like other clovers and all lcgumes,
continues" DR.. Young, "lespedeza
reaches out and takes nitrogen from
the air, stores it up in the nodules at
the roots, and leaves tn soil much
better for it's having been there. 1t is
more easily and more quickly cured
than any other hay, resting out a
higher food value and giving a better
balanced ration than any, not except
ing alfalfa, and can be fed Indefinite
ly without irritation to the kidneys,
as is the case with alfalfa. 1t will not
saiivate, nor bloat any animal what
ever, as do other clovcrs. Stock pre-
fer it to any other pasturagc, and
they wax fat upon it,"
DR.. Young thinks that no farmer
who plants oats should ever fail to
sow lespedeza on his oat land from
March until June, as this crop will
always restore much of the nitrogen
taken up by the growing oats and
will afford an excellent pasturage af-
ter the oat crop has been taken off,
or it will yield from half to four
tons of hay, according to the fertility
of the soil, without any extra cost ex-
cept the topping Of the weeds and the
harvesting of the crop.
Many will say that lespcdeza will
yield better on poor land than on
rich, but DR.. Young does not find this
to be the case; he does find, however,
that poor lands planted to this crop
soon become very rich in nitrogen.
Rich lands have been known to Weld

four tons Of choice hay per acre,
while poor lands the first year may
not yield more than a half a ton.
A good crop Of Lespedeza hay will
permit q farmer to turn much of his
corn or oats into money, says Dr.
Yung, becuase by selling the oats or
corn he can spend little Of that
money for black-strap molasses to
pour over the hay to supply all the
carbohydrates needed, and little
more Of the money for cotton seed
meal, which will regulate the protein
elements. This combination makes
the best balanced ration, as we'll as
the cheapest that can be found The
fine hay produced by the farmer sup
plies all the roughage and good
percentage of carbohydrates and pro-
tein, while the cotton seed meal and
molasses can regulate the last two
elements at will. One pound of cot

Crow Flowers With Vegetables.

There is no reason why flowers and
vegetables should not be grown to-
,gether. It is difficult to draw the line,
anyway. The dahliu, now one Of the
most popular flowers, was originally
planted with the intention of using
the tubers as q potato substitute. The
scarlet runner bean, grown by the
acre on the farms Of England, is most
often used In America rs a climbing
vine around the house; in fact, there
are many persons not aware the beans
are good to eat.
The ideal garden is one which COM
bines flowers, vegetables and fruit.
Such a garden should have a place On
every farm and back of every sub
urban home. Oftentimes the vegetable
plot can be surrounded with a border
planted on two sides with small fruit
like raspberries, currants, g~ooseberries
and grapes, and on the other two sides
with annual and perennial flowers.

Southern Politics.

There is one thing about Southern
politics that we have noticed; it has
prevailed for years. That is the effort
to keep the people dissatisfied by per-
suading them that they are imposed
upon. 1t is the Mark Anthony style,
over the dead body of Caesar, who,
while protesting he did not want to
s'stir their hearts to sudden mutiny,"
was adroitly trying to do that very
thing. Usually the man who wants
office at the South goes in for "re-
form" He is not always, we may say
not usually, clear in what he is going
to reform or how he is going to re-
form anything; but he finds all the
faults possible against the govern
ment, and none of it's good points,
and blazes away in a determined eff
fort to stir up the people against the
existing condition of things. There
is very often much that is true in
what he says, for no government is
perfect, and when one sets about to
find fault with any human Institution
he can find more or less to harp on.
The evident purpose Of this kind
of politics is to make the people dis
satisfied with their own government,
and therefore anxious for a change
just anything so it is a change. The
result is that the people r kept in a
political ferment a large portion of
their time, for there is always some
thing wrong that needs reforming
and always sly politicians ready and
anxious to undertake the job at so
much per annum. Southern politicians
seem to go on the theory that what
ever is is wrong.
We might specify; but what's the
use?-Newberry Observer.

Alleged Robber Of Trenton
Bank Arrested in N. C..

Greenwood, Jan. 6.-Horace An
drews, one of the alleged robbers of
the Bank of Trenton, in Edgefield
county, who escaped from Green
wood county officers last August, has
been captured at Rutherford, N. c.,
and will be brought to the Green
wood county Jail, according to long
distance messages to Sheriff White
from Rutherford.
According to Sheriff White, An
drews made a full confession of the
robbery of the Bank of Trenton in
the fall of 1920, duplicating three
others, Will Harper, John Harper
and a man named Hayes whose first
name he did not know. Andrews
claimed that he and Hayes watched
while the two Harpers blasted their
way into the bank. After Andrews
escaped, Will Harper, who was being
held in the Greenwood county Jail,
demanded a preliminary hearing and
was released for lack of evidence
against him.
In the robbery of the Bank of
Trenton, Mrs. B. r. Tillman, mother
of Major Henry C. Tillman, of Green
wood. lost a large amount of silver,
valuable jewelry and documents.
None of the stolen articles have ever
been recovered.

Judge Rice Speaks Out on
Law Enforcement.

Spartanburg, Jan. 6.-Judge
Hayne F. Rice, in sessions court yes
terday afternoon in his general
charge tothe grand jury, took occa-
sion to pay special attention to the
crime wave which is sweeping over
the country. He said that there is
more killing now than ever before in
the recollection of the members of
the grand jury. Crime is on the in
crease, he said, rather than the de-
crease. 1t is said for the good of the
state to realize that they have a re-
sponsibility to the state.
1t is often said that justice can not
be had in the courts, and unfortu-
aately that is true in many instances,
he said. He cited several instances in
cases tried before him where a man
had been shot in the back, yet the
jury turned the killer loose because
he entered a plea of self defense
when they did not believe the testi-
mony themselves. He said that the
other judges had doubtless had SINH
lar cases. With the juries turning
guilty men loose, there is no safety
for ones self or for ones family. A
little liquor and a pistol are all that
is needed to make a dead man these
days, he continued.
In regard to carrying pistols, the
court said that a law abiding citizen
will not carry a pistol and often the
man who is law abiding is at the
mercy of the man who has the pistol
and if he is killed, the jury will be-
lieve a Matched up cas- of self-de-,
tense when the dead mar did not
have a chance in the world. He said
that he believed in 95 per cent of the
cases of homicide, the dead man had
no chance, most cases amounting to
assassination.
The tendency is to lay the blame
on the lawyers and the court, but the
man who passes on the guilt or in
nocence of the mai killer is the jury.
The state of South Carolina does not
want to see an innocent man convict
ed, and there is not a judge on the
he said, who would not set a
verdict aside which, he believed, did
injustice to a defendant. If an in
nocent man should be convicted, the
court would give him a new trial.
The penalty for toting a pistol is
not sufficient. He says the penalty
should be at least $500 and %improson-
ment for six or eight months so as to
make it worth while not to carry one
He said that the juries in Spar
tanburg were the best he had seen in
South Carolina, that they were of
the best men of the county and COM
mended the jury commissioners for
selecting the best.

Bonus Bill is Ready.

RoE1hS Dill 10
While no agreement has been
reached by Republican leaders at
Washington as to methods of raising
the large sum needed to carry out
the provisions of the proposed sol
diers' bonus bill, Senator McCumber
of North Dakota, announced a day
or two since that a bonus bill must
be passed at this session of congress.
The plain reason for applying the
whip on this measure is that Repub-
licans hope to stave off defeat for
not having adjusted the soldier prob
lem already.
AS the sponsor of the bill in the
senate, Senator McCumber says sem
timent for a bonus bill is more pro-
nounced in congress now than at any
time since that issue arose. The chief
difficulty is to raise the money!
drawback to many plans to raise
money by congressman and citizen
alike. Mr.. McCumber said he hoped
that a part of the allied debt might
be applied to paying the bonus, but
members of the senate finance COM
mittee have opposed that plan.
1t appears that leading members of
the congress and members of the
American Legion practically have
agreed upon the Fordney bonus bill
introduced in the house of represen-
tatives some months ago. That meas
ure provides the following options:
1. Adjusted service pay, at the
rate of 81 a day for home service and
S1.25 a day for foreign service. The
maximum is $500 for a man without
overseas service and $625 for a mar
with overseas service.
2. A paid up 2O-year endowment
policy of insurance. The face value
of this policy will be 1888 times the
amount that would be received in
cash if that option were taken.
8. Vocational training aid of
S1.25 a day while taking a course.
The amount thus paid in no case
would exceed lao per cent of what
would have been paid in cash.
a.. Farm or home aid: To be lin
tied to 140 per cent of what would be
paid under option No. 1, if the nom
ey is used to purchase, improve or
make payments on approved farm,
city or suburban home.
5. Land settlement providing the
establishing of reclamation prof.
ects for the development and inn
provement of vacant land. This may
be government land or may be pur-
chased by the government. If posi-
BILE the projects will be located in
each State, the State paying part of
the purchase price of private land
bought for this purpose.
Various and varied estimates have
been made by experts as to the
amount of money needed to carry
out the provisions of the Fordney
bill, ranging from $4,000, 100000 to
S5,O0O,O 900, 900. This tremendous sum
will be taken up from the pockets of
private individual and corporation
alike. It may be said that no Ameri-
can is opposed to a pension system
for all the wounded and the diseased
as a result of their far service, but
we have never been in favor of add
mig another great burden to the tax
payer at large to give a certain sum
to all service men. The service men,
at large do not want that kind Of
law, but congress must hand the le-
gion the sop from the people in or
der to try to save it's own bacon
that is the crux of the whole thing.
