Official Long Calls Attention to Ad vi ?ability of this Plan. Editor Keowee Courier: While we have been blessed In this State with an average cotton crop in many sec tions, and with a price that is remu nerative, I fear that the financial re lief that is coming to many of our farmers will make them forget the necessity, at this time, of seeding a large grain crop, especially oats, and, 1 would add, some wheat. I am call ing the attention to the advisability of seeding these two grain crops from tho fact that the corn crop in many of the great corn producing States of the West ls a failure. In many sections it is an absolute failure, and the present prices of corn in the Western markets, ai'd reflected In our local markets, should make us realize the necessity o." seeding a largo crop of oats, and in mnay cases wheat, in order to supplement the crop of corn that we are now harvest ing. lt is not too much to expect t that corn next spring and summer AV I ll be selling for $1.25 casli and $1.50 or more on credit per bushel. Surely tho possibilities of such prices is enough to make us stop and think, and the farmer who has not pro duced a sufficient supply of corn for man and beast certainly will he very much in his own light if he does not seed as large a crop of grain as it is possible for him to do. I have mentioned the se ag of wheat, not from the fact thai it is a paying market crop io our Slate, but I am one of those who believe that every farmer should make all of his supplies at home, for it is my obser vation that those wl%o practice this method of agriculture are generally the men who are prosperous. It would take only a few acres on each farm to supply every family with flour enough for home consumption. W. W. Long, State Agent and Superintendent of Farm Extension Work.

Y., Oct. 13.-The high court of impeachment which is to de cide the fate of Governor Sulzer to day failed to reach a verdict. 'After a session of an hour and a half, virtually all of which was held In secret, the court unexpectedly ad journed until 11.30 o'clock to-mor row to permit further argument by counsel relative to the testimony of Allan A. Ryan, Ambassador Henry Mergenthau and Dum an W. Peck, superintendent of public works. This testimony had to do with al leged efforts of Governor Sulzer to suppress evidence against him and to obtain political influence to stop the trial. Tho offenses alleged in this connection were not specilled in the articles of impeachment, and upon the convening of court to-day Judge Miller, of the Court of Ap lic?is, raised the question as to where they fitted In.

Col. Victor H. Cheshire, candidate for Congress, until a few weeks ago editor and owner of tho Anderson Intelligencer, was in Seneca for a few hours Saturday afternoon. .Mis. Cheshire accompanied him. They were on their way to spend Sunday with Mr. Cheshire's friend, .lohn Ab bott, of near New Hope. During his short stay in Seneca Col. Cheshire was a welcome visitor to Farm and Factory outee. He talked interestingly of political mat ters in South Carolina, and particu larly of bis race for Congress against Hon. Wyatt Aiken and Fred Domi nick, Assistant Attorney General of South Carolina. He is confident of bc ng in the second race and of de feating his opponent ,in the final round. Col. Cheshire says that he has not started to devoting bis entire time to his campaign yet, but Is at present engaged in looking after the con struction of several new houses in the city of Anderson. After he has finished this work he will start out on a house-to-house canvass of the entire Third District. He will travel by automobile and give his entire time to his campaign. Asked as to his opinion regarding Wyatt Aiken's bill to divide the State into two Federal districts, thereby creating several new offices, the more important being a judge and mar shal, Col. Cheshire said that lt was simply another one of Aiken's moves in behalf of his race for Congress. There is little chance of the bill pass ing, said Mr. Cheshire, but In the event it does, Mr. Aiken will have charge of the turning out of several "plums," and in this way help his chances of re-election. Thc entrance of Mr. Cheshire into the Congressional fight makes it sure that thero will be warm u.".es in the Third Dis rlct next year. He will be one of the most energetic campaign ers that ever mounted a stump In South Carolina. Tnrough his con nection with The Intelligencer, which I under his management was one of | the most Influential papers In the i upper part of the Stat-?, he. has be come widely known ano liked by the people of this district, and in all probability he will make a good showing in the forthcoming race.
