lie is about to quit not only the
Governor's chair, but politics (
Entirely, according to his own i
assertions. As a matter of fact, t
he has not so far written a line
>f the message, and he has not s
intimated its general contents or 6
tenor. The presumption is that 1
a large part of it will be devoted
to immigration and to school i
questions and lynchings, these t
three subjects being specially i
close to his thought and action
during all the four years of his t
administration. i

Jispeneary platform, and in all ?
his previous messages has en t
lorsed it and sought to have <
changes made in the law to re- I
luce the gralting feature, but
there is a feeling among his '
friends that he lias no particular (
loudness for the system. Many t
of those closest to the Governor 1
think he will touch but lierhtlv
on the dispensary, since the last I
Legislature elected along with I
him declined to adopt his recom- I
niendations, and turn this bus- i
iness over to his successor, 1
''brother Cra'ford" Ansel. Oth
ers, however, are predicting that <

obligations the Colleton man 1

Senator Tillman and other t
leaders in the ultra-Tillman fac
tion have intimated from time 1
to time that Governor Hey ward, i
by a merely passive support of '
the dispensary, has done the
system more harm than if he I
and his party had openly fought
it. Still, neither the Senator nor
any one else can point to any '
actual "sheenanigen" work on 1
the part of (he Governor, as the

The Governor lias refused at all !

Poultry Notes. | (
By Shepherd. j
Bran and buttermilk is a good 1
ation for buying hens. J
Corn and corumeal is the best g
attening food. g
Too much heat in the brooder a
gives leg weakness.
Dampness and whole grain is 1
ipt to produce camp trouble. j
Under average conditions, the g
nedium sized breeds are best. g
Boiled sweet potatoes, mixed i
vitli scalded corn meal is good 1
attening ration. j
Exercise, proper feeding and j
jomfortable quarters are the 4
easons the hens lay well in win- g
er. 4
When fowls are kept in a 1
suitable yard, it is best to dig up j
tamallcorner occasionally to al- ^
[ow them to hunt for worms. g
M ?rk the chicks each year so j
'on can know their age and kill
hem after the third year, as it
.8 unprofitable to keep old fowls. ^
As a general rule, it is not best 1
o attempt to use an incubator '
inless you have a sufficient ^
number of hens to turnish a full ^
supply ol eggs.
In raising fowls for market, |
lesh i3 the first consideration.
Select a chick which will make ^
die greatest growth in the short- 4
jst tune, aud be of good quality j
for tlie table.
With careful management,
here i9 none of the small inlustries
that is more profitable '
than raising eggs for city mar (
<ets- t
A sudden change from any ^
tind of grain to another will of
en slop the hens from laying _
or a short time. It is best to
make radical changes gradually.
Charcoal is about the best
jondiiiou powder tlist can be led
to hens. When many iowls are
to-pt, large quantities of broken
charcoal will be consumed.
There is no economy in win
tering more cocKerels than are
wanted lor breeding The sooner
the rest are overlated the better
as after they are matured
ttiey add to the expense of keeping
without a fair return ot pro
fit.
When ready to fatten t lie
poultry, keep them cooked food.
C^uick fattening pays with chickens
as with every other kind ol
live stock.
Wheat contains a larger per
cent of alhumen than any oilier
grain, and lor this reason is one
