BIO OFFRRS ARK ALLIOGHDV | Agent Worked With Great Secrecy Throughout the South. Columbia, July 27.-Republican politicians throughout the South ar? beginning to compare notes regard ing the efforts made by th?'flnanclal backers of Col. Roosevelt to recruit delegates to the Republican National Convention favorable to him. Dis closures already made and promised are expected to shed convincing illu mination u.ion the charges made by the managers of President Taft In his fight for the Presidential nomi nation that the supporters of Col. Roosevelt resorted to bribery to se cure the selection of delegates fav orable to him cr the conversion of Taft delegates to bis cause. Secret Work In Routh. Before the Colonel made his "key note" speech on February 21, before iii? Ohio Constitutional Convention, the National Committeeman made a hurried trip through the South. Ills purpose was to lino up as many of his associates as possible for Col. Roosevelt. "You join the Roosevelt movement and you shall have all the money you need for campaign purposes and more," was the proposition he made more than three leaders. To several other Southern leaders similar propositions were made by the Roosevelt committeeman. One man claims that he could have had $100,000 for his State if he had joined the Colonel's forces. The contest between tho Roose velt and Taft forces for the South developed into a national scandal. Democrats and Republicans In South ern States are now engaged in dig ging up the details of the trades that were offered, and in some instances made and carried out to the letter. Failing to Win over the leaders, Col. Roosevelt's agents undertook to corral the delegates. McHarg, the contest lawyer for tho third-term candidacy, started contests in Vir ginia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Ten nessee, Georgia and other Southern States. At Chicago, where the contest waxed warm, affidavits declaring that Roosevelt agents had offered money to win delegates from Taft were made by Mississippi, Louisiana and Georgia delegates. Charles Banks, of Mississippi, handed money to the Taft managers, which, he declared, he got from the T. R. managers, say ing that he was not for sale. President Dubbs Re-elected.

Washington, duly 27.-The still, small voice of conscience, pleading with Americans who In various ways had defrauded the United States Government, brought to the Federal treasury during the fiscal year of 1012, just closed, a total of $6,514. This amount came from several hundred people, the identity of all ? unknown, and made an aggregate of I $431,801 thus paid Into the treas ury. While it is popularly supposed ; that these contributions aro placed in a separate fund, or what ls famtl I iarly known as the "conscience ! fund," there ls, In reality, no such distinct account piling up In the ? vaults of the government. As the I money Is received it is immediately covered into the general fund of the treasury, and expended the same as any other receipt. From Cents to Dolbies. ; The conscience contributions range from a few cents to thousands of dollars. The largest received during the fiscal year was $2,000, while the greatest single sum ever received j was $35,000, a number of years ago. j The anonymous contributions rep i resent payment for customs duties ! withheld, undervaluations, the use of i cancelled postage stamps. and doubtless an infinite number of other things, known only to the senders, i The first contribution was receiv ed in 1811, the se cond in 1827.

We know that In many sections there are more local dealers than the needs of the community justify, but nobody need be afraid that the parcels post will put the small merchant out of busi ness, lt has not done so anywhere else in the world, and will not In America. The small dealer ls very foolish to let anybody stuff him with such nonsense. In fact, ho weakens his cause by any such argument. For the merchant to say that It would be to the advantage of the farmer to buy from the mail-order house In ense the government would only make a fair freight rate through the : parcels post, is an indictment of the j small merchant, an assertion of his j incompetence and uselessness I which we do not accept or endorse j for a minute, and which the mer chant certainly ought not to.

This wonderful cow produced during the year 27,404.4 pounds of milk testing 3.86 per cent fat. This means over nine gallons of milk per day. or enough to supply 36 families each with a quart of milk dally. If made Into butter, her fat production would equal 1,322.925 pounds of butter, or over 3 V6 pounds per day for 365 days. This is all the more remarkable because it was made without her being dry at all before freshening. No other cow In the world has ever produced such an enormous amount of butter fnt in a yearly test and only one other has over exceeded Banostlno's milk rec ord. During the time that Banostine Belle Do Kol was in test she received nearly, if not all the time, more or less ensilage and alfalfa. When available she received roots and a mixed grain ration, the foundation of which was bran and oats. The heavier feeds were varied frequent ly, according to the condition of the cow and that which seemed best at one time did not seem best at other times. She was also fed some dried beet pulp, especially when fresh roots -were not available. Her grain ration from the first was gradually increased to 25 pounds, or a littles more, but later reduced to as low as 9 pounds per day. As near as can be estimated, the average amount of grain fed was 12 to 14 pounds dally. She also received, when lt was avail able, green corn with the stalks and also green clover and any other green feed that might be available, including feed from the pasture. Ba nostine Bello De Kol has given birth to three calves, this record having been made after the birth of the third calf. All of her calves to date have been heifer calves. These tests were made under the careful supervision of the dalry de partment of the Ohio State Univer sity. The cow was tested by nine different persons and was watched at times day and night, so that the records are fully verified.
