Greenville Salesman in Thom son When List Respects Paid Late Senator. "Traveling men encounter various experiences " in their trips on the Toad," declared W. G. Gresham, traveling salesman of Greenville, who covers the states of Georgia and Florida, "but one that I never shall forget was that at Thomson, Geor gia, last Thursday when thousands of persons flocked to pay a last mark of respect of their departed leader and citizen, Tom Watson." Mr. Gresham, who was in the city yesterday, said jthat automobiles were parked for two miles in each . direction -from the Watson home, motorists being compelled to walk the remainde. of the distance. More than thal, in many places the auto mobiles were parked two and three deep, so anxious were those who had come from a distance to be present at the funeral services. ti "The anguish of hundreds of per sons was touching," Mr. Gresham said. "Hundreds and hundreds, who knew Mr. Watson as a personal as well as political friend mourned as though they had lost a brother.. From early morning until the last dirt had been heaped beneath the flower. covered mound, dustcovered cars came to Thomson from all di rections. The smaller and more in expensive cars seemed to predomi nate, but there were handsome cars too, showing that the high as well as the humble mourned the passing of Watson." Mr. Gresham said that it was diffi cult for one in this part of the coun try to conceive of the vast throng that swarmed into Thomson for the funeral services. While the railways conveyed many to Thomson, it was the highways that brought the ma jority of those into the city as a last mark of respect for the late senator. "Throughout South Georgia it seemed that business was suspended," Mr. Gresham said, "because of the numbers who had gone to Thomson to attend the funeral services. It were as though an entire section if not a state joined hands in mourning the departure of a native son. I probably will never again see such a dust covered throng and so many down-cast countenances as I did at Thomson last week."-Spartanburg Hfeald. Declares Ford is Not the "Richest." Chicago-John D. Rockefeller still is the richesst man in the world and Henry Ford has yet to take that dis- ! tinction away from him, according to James A. Davis, one of the best known financial authorities in the middle west. The war put all European contend ers for the "world's richest man" ti tle out of the running, Davis declar ed. The Rothchilds were hard hit by the ruining of many mines in the war zones and by bad loans to Eu ropean governments, he said, while the dukes of Westminster and Devon shire in England have been almost impoverished by heavy taxation. "In the first place," Davis assert ed, "the Wall Street Journal erred in assuming that a man's wealth may be capitalized on the basis of his earnings. Rockefeller, in the estimated val ue of his holdings in various concerns in which he is interested has an in finitely greater wealth than Ford is known to have," he continued. "The difference in the earning capacity and dependability of a man whose business began and grew through sheer ability, shrewdness and fore sight might be ten times as great as that of one whose whole career has been erratic."

In winter the trees and hig] higher shrubs break the force cold winds and not only make 1 homes more comfortable but si fuel as well. You can readily tell 1 difference in the fuel needed to hi a house when the wind is bl o wi hard and when there is no wii though the temperature outside the same.

Taller trees a; shrubs furnish shelter for anim* and the lower ones for chickens ai small animals. In summer this protection- fro winds conserve the moisture in t soil where the garden and ber patches are planted w^chfin the range. Winds remove more moistu from the soil than the plants thei selves, and this moisture is lost valu These are some of the practic values of keeping things growii about the home grounds and outbuil ings, but there is much more to 1 said. There is active energy and ar bition generated by a beautif home, especially where boys ar girls are growing up. There will 1 much less discontent, and a discon ed worker is seldom an efficient worl er. Anything that makes the resul' .of labor seem worth while to til boy or girl will make them willin partners, and pride in the home one of the strongest forces to th end. It is not only so with childre but parents as well. I know a ma who bought a run-down farm and h great dream is to make it a beaut ful home, though he has to do : gradually, and it is wonderful ho* this keeps him keyed up to his bes effort. As this matter of beautif yin with growing things is a .matter o time and results are to be had cor tinuously the effect is not a passin one. I have always envied the perso: who could look back to a beautify childhood home, for my youthfu days were spent on rented farms and while we always had our flow ers they were annuals and beddin? plants, and we did not know enougl about landscape work then to mak these fully effective.-Farm am Ranch.

B. B. JONES. September 20, 1922. ^^^^^^^^ Mi vk4 SUPE Is Dairying Profitable? Is dairying profitable, and if so, when? is a question-asked by D. G. Sullins, of the Georgia Experiment Station, in a recent bulletin. In ans wering his own question Mr. Sullins says : " "On nearly every dairy farm a few cows are kept at an excellent profit, some at a small profit and some at an actual loss. A study of any herd, of cows, unless they have been very carefully selected, will show that there are wide variations in the pro duction of milk and butter fat and in the ecenoi?iy of production. There are always individuals in a herd which produce milk more efficiently than other individuals, making it possible to grade the cows according to their production and cost to the owner. "Keeping a daily milk record and making fat tests at regular intervals is the only satisfactory method of determining what individual cows- do with the feed given them. The cost, of keeping such a record is small and is more than offset by the advantages to be had from the record. Having a daily milk record makes it possible to feed cows with the greatest econ omy. Such records enable the Herds-, man to detect sickness quicker than otherwise would be possible. This in I turn enables him to avoid the use of unwholesome milk and to give prompt attention to animals in poor health. Daily records also make it possible to judge the work of different milk ers. Experiments have shown that with certain cows some milkers are able to get as much as 25 per cent more milk than others. "The greatest advantage to be had : in having a record showing the in dividuality of cows, of course, is mak ing it possible to eliminate the un profitable ones and build up herds. A milker might be able to determine a difference between the very best j and poorest cows in a herd but he ! would not know how to draw the line of distinction in its proper place without a record. The cow giving the greatest amount of milk is not neces sarily the best cow. This holds true also for the cow giving the richest milk. Both quantity and quality must be considered for it is the total fat. production that counts. "Beginners should study this mat ter closely. In purchasing cows they should obtain information concern ing the actual value of animals un der consideration. Poor milkers are always for sale and cause most of the ? discouragement among dairymen. A^' few unprofitable cows probably caus ed many dairymen to become discour aged during the last few years. Such discouragement might have been avoided had the proper steps been taken in selecting and eliminating animals."-Farm and Ranch. Keeping Sweet Potatoes. Sweet potatoes should be thor oughly dried out when dug before they are stored or after if they are to be kept. When dug they contain an enormous amount of moisture and will rot easily unless some of this moisture is removed. The sweet potato house or kiln should be equipped with a stove or furnace so the temperature may be raised. This evaporates the moisture and dries the potatoes. They will then keep. When the potatoes are being dug all injured specimens should be thrown out. No specimens that are not sound and free from disease should be put in the kiln or house. The potato house should be built so it will be easily ventilated. Where moisture accumulates -on the tubers or in the house during w'nter the temperature should be raised to evap orate it.-Farm nad Ranch.

"When ws come .down to brass tacks; it is the' petit jury that is to blame.?' So declared Judge Hayne P. Rice, in a special charge to the grand jury of Greenwood county Saturday after noon, after that body had brought in its final presentment. Judge Rice cas tigated the petit juries of the state for failure to convict in homicide cases, according to the Greenwood Index-Journal,? characterized boot leggers as the lowest type of citizens in a community, blamed liquor for a large percentage of crime against 'the person and declared that the law against carrying weapons was entire ly too lax. There is much meat in this charge, and it is something all citizens of South Carolina should think about. Much along this line has been said previously, but the point cannot be too deeply considered. Judge Rice is quoted as saying: "Conditions in South Carolina gen erally, not so much in Greenwood and Abbeville counties, are such that ought to give all citizens concern," Judge Rice declared. "Charges are made that juries don't mete out jus tice. Atrocious murders have been committed and white men charged with the deeds have walked out free men. Not one white man charged with murder, tried before me, has been sent to the electric chair. Is it pos sible that all are innocent? Now in four cases, the wounds of the dead men were in the back, yet the men who committed the deed had the face to claim self defense, and juries al lowed them to go free. Did those ju ries believe the stories set up by these men? It is unreasonable. "In eighty per cent of the mur ders, the murdered man does not have a dog's chance for his life. How jetit juries can take their oaths to try them by the law and the evidence and turn them loose is more.than I can see. "If we don't have justice in the courts, whose fault is it? It is not the solicitor's fault. All the judges can do is to give a fair trial. What body decides the guilt or i nnocence of the accused? It is the p etit jury. When we come down, to brass tacks, it is the petit jury that is to blame. "Executing a man for murder will deter crime. Men are not going to kill when they know they will pay the death penally. When juries try cases by th 2 law _:id the evidence, then the jcri'me will decrease. A judge does njt.vdare. intimate what he thinks in a* trial. A man charged with murder will swear anything. The state doesn't want any innocent men con victed. It does not demand that ju ries give justice by trying cases by the law and the evidence."-Green ville News. Twins and Triplets Within Two Years. McCormick, Sept 29.-Dr.. J. B. Adams of Plum Branch, this county, is authority for the statement that a farmer and his wife are the parents of five children within the past two years. Dr. Adams is telling it that Jim and Ella Hill are the fond pa rents and that last year twins were born to them and triplets last week. Of the last three two were boys and one a girl. Jim and Ella had not ex actly prepared or selected names for so many and called on Dr. Adams for names. Dr. Adams is a very ob liging kind of doctor and so he named the boys Jasper and Garrett and the girl Carrie. They live on the plantation of John Talbert, near Parksville. J. S.
