HEAD NEARLY SEVERED
WHEN cnn RAZOR
NEGRO ROW AT DANCE
FEW MILES WEST OF
CITY
DETAILS UNKNOWN
Physician Took Ten Stitches to
Sow Up Wound-Assailant
Said to Be Known.
Tom Drake, a negro, had his iiead
almost severed from his tfthmiders
last night by a razor, his assailant
alleged to have been Jesse Eberhard..
The row started at a dance a few
miles west of the city but the details
were unknown fast n.ght; A--physi
cian was summoned and ho found lt
necessary to take ten stitches to sow
up the sla&'.v made by the razor.
It seems that there was a big ne
gro dance at tho lion se of a negro
named .Benson last night and that
about 12 o'clock, Drake and Eber
hard became involved in a. row. Af
ter a few passer the razor was drawn
and used very effectively. lt was
stated that tho negro would live, but
that his neck and throat 'were severe
ly cut.
No arrests had been made at the
time The Intelligencer went to press
but the officers are expected to lo
cate the guilty party this morning.
Why Salisbury Reads Newspapers.
(Prom Wall Street Journal.)
British statesmen have variant
views es to the' value of newspaper
information. There aro those who
refuse -to tbe interviewed, others who
closo themselves, behind unknown
personalities, others who utilize im
personal direction for tho placement
of Important statements, others why
refuse to cone? lo tho power of edi
torial judgment and who belittle the
quality of Dbe established daily ex
pression of thought which, tn meas
ure may serve to direct or to aid in
the cont.ol of affairs ot government
Mr. Balfour, for instance, never di
rectly serve? newspapers with expres
sion of national thought. He imy
write, as Sir Edward Grey, al: ?
writes, for the daily press; but i.'r.
Balfour holds strictly to this rule that
be, as in the like instance of Grey,
should present hi? views as if ad
dressed to a particular individual;
or, not discovering a "personality on
whom to Jay the burdon ot his jour
nalistic address, he is wont to com
municate, thi-ough the British press
rlniply In soma anonymous "Dear
Slr," trusting that the publicity of
Ids signature, through this channel,
may have its di re it and forceful ap
peal to the general public*.
The power of, "The Editor" wac
never, possibly more trenchantly ex
pressed o? recognized by a british
statesman than ta recorded ..in a pass
ing remark, ni ?de by Lord 8alsbury,
to a journalist, who once oneriert him
as to his Idea as to the value of
newspaper news. This reporte.- was
at one tim. going to Hyfield on in
vttuticn, to make a brief stay, and
was by chance traveling in ?he rail
road coach with hi? host. On the
way" dtrwn, stopping at F3e?bnry
Park. Lord Salsbury interested thc
journalist by calling for the news
papers of the day. . Subsequently,
when opportunity offered the repor
ter asked Salisbury why he cvor
both-ered to look at newspapers ex
cept to gauge public opinion. The
British premier, with au eyo-twlokle.
replied:
"I look at them for nows that I
very seldom get in my dispatches.''

CLAIMS CREDIT
FOR FORD'S NEW
SUBMARINE
New York, Sept. 25.-Prof. Her
schel C. Parker declared yesterday
that he was tun originator of the di
munitive submarine idea laid before
Secretary Daniels by Henry Ford and
announced hts desire to give the in
vention to the United States as a
contribution to his country's defense.
He described his Invention, as a "mo
tor torpedo" and said, he submittc?
it to Ford last July.
Prof. Parker explained that he had
worked out the gasoline propelled
submersible primarily as a 'iefensive
craft. It will havje a speen oi per
haps 4.0 miles an hour, he said, and
a cruising radius ofwiO miles.
lt ie' Pr^f. Parker's Gieory that a
Bmali fleet ot these vessels could be
carried on the decks of a ship and
sent, ont to meet Invaders. IJocauee
of their speed he believes they should
the more' easily eludo destroyers and
other submarin .s, run close to tbs
vessels of an invading sqv '.?ron and
dlscuarge Ohelr torpedoes with great
accuracy. ~

ALFALFA ACREAGE SE
GREATLY INCREASED
ABOUT 200 ACRES SOWN IN
ANDRSON COUNTY
THIS YEAR
BE GREAT SAVING
In the Way of Hay for Fanners
Since Average Yield it Approx
imately Three Tons to Acre.
"In my opinion tho alfalfa acreage
in Anderson county 1? or will he at
least four times as much as that last
fall," stated Demonstration Agent S.
M. Hy ar 3 yesterday. "Several alfal
fa clubs have been?organized in dif
ferent' sections; of the county and
ii-ese have a total membership of
about 100. All of th?se win plant at
least one acre and some of them will
plant as many as ten ocres. Judg
ing from my trips ovor the county
during- the past summer, I would say
that there were not more than 50
acres growing in alfalfa this year. I
fully believe, however,-that this year
there will bo 200 acres planted.
"This dry wvatfier,"^contlnued Mr.
Byars," has delayed 0?e planting of
alfalfa to a great extent. There ls
still time to SOT;, however, and many
farmers ana walting on the rain.
Some went ahead and sowed their
seed anyway, and ran a heavy roller
over the ground afterwards. Some
of .these have a splendid stan;' and
their alfalfa ls certainly looking
well,"
Figuring tfcat thc alfalfa, acreage in
Anderson county this season will, be
200 acres, and allowing three tons
to the acre, the average number ac
cording'to tho United : States depart
ment of agriculture, the .alfalfa yield
during the ye?r 1916 will bo some
thing like 600 tons. Compared with
tho yield on 50 acres this year, still
allowing an average of three tons to
the acre, although more than this
was made this year since conditions
were., very favorable, the 1916 crop
ought to.show an increase of over 450
tons..
Figuring 600 tons of alfalfa hay
at 120 per ton, tho 1916 crop will
mean a saving to the'farmers of An
derson county, on money heretofore
rxocded for feedstuff, of about $13,
000.
lt ts estimated that it costs from
$25 to $30 to seed an acre in alfalfa,
but ono acre well scened will gen
erally yield a crop for at least six'
years .if not eight.
Tlie following taken from Farmers
Bulletin, No. 339, of the1 United States
department of agriculture, on alfalfa
will bo read wtlfi interest in connec
tion with the above:
Kffect of Alfalfa oh (he Land.
Alfalfa nets lu a manner similnr to
red clover and other leguminous
crops in Increasing the yields of the
succeeding cror.?. The roots add
nitrogen directly to the soil andi aro
efficient by reason of their deep-feed
ing habit, bringing ?p other mineral
constituer,ts from thc lower layers ot
the soil and fins rendering them ac
cessible to the shallow-feeding crops.
Kenuna st the Wyoming Agricul
tural Experiment station show that
an Irrigated land the effect of alfalfa
was to increase the value per acre of
subsequent crops as follows: Pota
toes. $16; oats, $16; wheat, $8 to $12.
These Increased gains wer? made
without cost In fertitslng tho land,
ns the alfalfa bad been regularly cat
for hay for ?ve years. In Colorado
ind Nebraska tho yields of grain are
sometimes nearly doubled when Im
mediately preceded by alfalfa.
As an instance ot the effect of al
falfa on soils In the south, ft may be
mentioned that on the plantation of
Mr. Ben milray, nea* Shreveport,
U>" 23 bales of cotton, weighing 575
pounds each,' Were produced on lg
