The Pageland Journal Published Wednesday Mornings C. M. Tucker and H. L. Johnson Publishers. Subscription Price - - $1.00 Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Pageland, S. C., under the Postal Act of March 3,1879. April 15, 1914 * The county political pot is beginning to simmer perceptibly, and as the summer advances it is expected to gradually come to the boiling point. At this time it is impossible to say who the candidates will be but there will likely be a number of changes. W. F. Stevenson intends to tiy for congress, and W. P. Odom will not ask for reelection as representative but will probably try for G. K. Laney's seat in the state senate. M. M. Johnson, W. L. Gibson, R. D. Marsh and Sam J. Sellers are avowed candidates for represen tative. J. C. Black well wants to take T. W. Eddins' place as county auditor. There are at least one hundred others who would like to take part in the races, but only about half of them will try. The writer doesn't know who may have an eye on the sheriff's job and the superintendent of education's place, but he ventures the prediction that those who try to beat these two men will meet defeat. The present county officers are all good men, but there are other good men who believe the offices should be passed around, and they will ask the voters to hand the jobs to them so they may prove their metal. This section is remarkably free from office-seeeking pests, and the people may be depended upon to keep their heads and vote with common sense no matter who runs or what happens. ^^^^^The""people should demand that the vote seekers for the hon or to represent Chesterfield coun ty in South Carolina's august body of lawmakers tell where they stand on the various matters of public concern. Each man should be forced to give his platform and let the voters know what to expect of him Those who can't show good reason why they should be sent, deserve defeat. Too many candidates consider the "honor" more inan tne good to be accomplishi ed. The people give the honor and pay about five dollars per day for the forty days and they should demand to know what they are to get in return. There are the questions of compulsory school attendance, the Torrens system of registering land titles and many other important questions, and each candidate for representative or senator ought to have opinions and be willing /V ??? * ' i\j oay wirai uiey are. li a man doesn't know where he stands, show him where he ought to be. Yesterday afternoon Mr. J. A. Mangum brought samples of vetch and crimson clover taken from a patch near his residence just north of town, and we would like for every farmer who comes to town during the next few days to come around and see these samples, and if possible go out and look at these locrlImOC frr/Mirin? T'U? 1 vpiuu<vi> 1 I1C MIlIipiUS show the worth of seed inoculation. Mr. Mangum inoculated with Farmogerm a part of the seed before sowing and then sowed these seed side by side with the seed not inoculated on ground that* is just ordinary, not very fertile and still not as poor as some. No fertilizer of any kind was used, and the inoculated vetch and clover had no advantage over the other in any way save the inoculation, a thing manv farmers profess not to believe in. The vetch and clover *. , ? . s V*. which had no inoculation is puny, dwarfed, sickly stpff, much like a half grown kitten ready to die, and will not. pay for the seed. The inoculated part of the patch is' thriving wonderfully, some of the vetch measuring 22 inches, and it is refreshing to look upon. On the roots are clusters of little nodules, which are tiny fertilizer factories making the best of fertilizer and storing it in the soil for the next ciop. If you are a doubting Thomas, come and see, and thrust your ha nd into ihe soil and find these little factories for yourself. The southern farmers must recognize the importance of these legume crops and grow their own fertilizer right on the land before the South will take i ? ? ? ner place in trie agricultural world. So long as one small state the size of South Carolina spends twenty-five million dollars a year for fertilizers, there can not he the prosperity among the farmers that would be il they would studv the fertilizer question and decide that half ol it must be grown at home. Mr. Mangum desires to hear from the others who sowed vetch and clover in this section last fall. CHURCH NOTES Baptist J. M. Sullivan. Pastor.
