Knnpp, spoclal agent lu charge of tho farmers' co-operative demonstration work of Un- bureau of plant Industry. United Slates DopaS't mcnl of Agrlculturei luis sont a "per sonal letter" lo Southern planters about cowpeas. He impresses the Importance of plaining every avail able cultivated acre in cowpeas, and gives sixteen reasons why this should be done. The reasons art' as follows: 1. They are ll fairly good human food. 2. They are one ol our most nutli I ions foods for st oek. They shade the soil during' the hottest part of the summer, thus aid ing in the formation ol valuable nitrates. I. If turned under, thu vines add considerable fertility to the land. f>. The presence of decaying roots, stubble and vines in the soil helps to convert initierai substances into plant food. ii. If picked, the peas alone are worth from eight lo twelve dollars per acre. 7. The vinos thal grow on an acre planted between the corn are worth from six to ten dollars for stock food. s. Through their roots, peas put Into the soil from four lo six dollars worth of nitrogen per acre. Most ot" our unprofitable soils are lacking in this substance. !.. The vines, roots and stubble help to make the soil loose and eas ily cultivated. le. lliey also absorb and retain moisture that will aid the next crop to go easily through a drought. II. The roots of pea vines are good sllbsotlers. They go to consid erable depth and open up the earth SO that air and water call make .a deeper soil. I ?_'. Peas get their nitrogen from the air. free of cost to the fanner, so that very little nitrogen is needed in their fen ?lizers except for very poor soils. I.',. Peas feed strongly upon tho supply of potash and phosphoric acid: therefore, these substances should be supplied io them. Many crops fail for lack of acid and pot ash. I I. The i rice of peas is high, bul ibis does not keep the wise farmer from planting them. Ho is thinking of the ten dollars in value ho ls lo receive later for every dollar invest ed in them now. 1 .">. Lei no farmer neglect lo plant abundantly of ibis important crop. Phill! some for hov ; plant some on poor land for turning under; plant some tor grazing hy horses, cows, lings and other farm s|(,,-|<. und hy all means plant and cultivate a few acres from which to obtain seed ?.eas for noxl year's planting. Then >on will rejoice if thc price is high. I tl. Plenty of cowpeas on the farm make loose fertile lands, strong fine -tock and contented, prosperous far mers.

Columbia, AUK. I.-- J. W. Messer vy, who wa? convicted ol" the killing; (if Cous'a ?Ho C. I'. [?Mshburnc, at Uavenel station, in Colleton county, July ti, 1909, and given a BOU leuce of twenty yeats in the penitentiary. lost his appeal to the Supremo Court, the decision hoing tiled this evening. This means that Messorvy will have to remain in Columbia at tho prison and serve out lils sentence, the ver dict of the lower court being1 sus tained. Tile crime tor which Messervy will spend practically thc rest of his lite in prison took place a few feet from the depot platform at Uavenel. a small station in U O Ile toil. Messervy was receiving rrom the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company a ship ment of alcohol, said lo have been purchased hy his wife. !.. \V. Messer vy. and shipped from Cincinnati. Tho Killing. C. P. Pishbllrnc, the dispensary constable, who tuet his death al the hands of Mes.sci'vy, attempted to seize I he alcohol, horst1, wagon and j harness belonging to Messervy. Ac cording lo i he defendant's side, lhere followed an altercation, in which the constable was shot by Mes servy. Tho shooting took pince earl*?*, in the evening, about 7."_'n o'clock.! and Kishblll'llC died a few hours ! later. The defendant was tried before the late Judge Charles C. Danl/br at the November term of Court for Colleton county, in 1909. The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter ami nol guilty of carrying concealed weapons, and after a motion for al new trial was refused, the defendant j was sentenced io Imprisonment in j I be Stale pen i I eut i a ry for a period of t wein.v years. Already in Penitent iary. Shortly aller the trial Messervy; was brought herc for safe keeping, and inquiry at tho Slate prison to- j nigh! brings out Hie fact that Mes servy is here now. I let was liol told ' to-night of the decision ol' the high est court ill tho Stale. A ii interesting fen t ure ol i he ! hriiiging of Messervy to the poulton- . i Harv was the statement made thai j he was chained lo .-onie negro pris- ? oners, who were being brought hero al the .-ame time. The story created I unite a sensation. Messervy is sai . io possess a violent temper. Ito '.- ! a cripple. Questions Involved. The appeal io the Supreme Conn was of nundi Interest, In that one of I thc exceptions affects the Carey Cothrnu Act, the contention being that inasmuch as the state dispen sa ry'had been abolished, tho Gover nor was required io Qpiminl consta bles to enforce the Ca rev-Cot h ra n Act. Thal C. P. Klshhurne was coiu miusioncd, bm had not qualified be cause, as the defense claimed, he hail not Ide,i his nomi. The argu ment of counsel fur defence was thai the State claimed that Cishburne. having been commissioned and the commission being introduced, this was sutllclent. Another posit,.ni lakeii by the e feint' was that the alcohol being an inter-State shipment ami HOI yoi de livered to the consignee, ai her home. Its ultimate destination, and yet being in the saine original pack age as when shipped from Cincin nati, il Was not liable to seizure by const ables. Till? phase Ol' the case is also of ! especial interest now . in connection with I he recent ruling by Judge Memmiuger, under the Cnroy-Coth ran Act. This ruling, however, af fects only the dry counties, Colle ton being wet al the lime, I he slock of the county dispensan not having been disposed of.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTO R I A - ~ "?V Patterson's .1 nd ir lory Ticket Defeat ed in Tennesse Kleetton. Nashville, Teni.. Aug. 4.-The Independents elected their judicial tickets lu Tennessee to-day in one of the most exciting and hard fought political contests ever known In the Slate. The Independent headquarters hore claims that the majority will approximate 40,000 votes. The reg ular Demurrals, whose ticket was defeated, claim these ligures will he cut hy 10,uno or I.',.OOO votes and their leaders allege fraud in many places. They also charge that they were denied representation at the polls hy the election commissioners, dominated hy the Independent fac tion. The latter represents in a large measure the State-wide prohi bition (dement of the Democratic party, which has been opposing Gov ernor Patterson since his memorable campaign willi Hu late ex-Senator C NV. Carmack for the Gubernato rial nomination. ll took on added strength when the State co Ul Ul i I too ordered a blan ket primary for nomination of both judicial and State olllccrs.

Governor Slumped State. Governor Patterson entered' the lists for the regular ticket and slumped Hie Stale for il. His ene mies lined up solidly with the Inde pendents. Thi' Cooper ease, charges of attempted coercion of the Supreme Court by the Governor in its deris ion ol' the trial and his pardon ol' Col. Cooper, played leading roles in I he campaign and served almost to make il a flghl ol Patterson and anti Patt orson. The Republican leaders, Newell Saunders and ll. ('lay Ev ans, entomd tho light for thc Inde pendents, and it has been ?barged that there was a deal following a conference at tho WI'/to House in which President Taft participated. The endorsement by tho Republican committee of the Independents was followed by a break In Republican ranks and thc negro vote, it was al leged, was solidly for the regular ticket. Negroes wert registered more freely than ever before and they paid their poll taxes. The re volt in tho Republican ranks was led by lion. Jesse Littleton and many of the hincks followed him. but it seems not in the numbers thal have bern predicted.
