C.: WEDNESDAY, EEltltUAKY 2?, 1017 THE NEW l-IOl'OR LAW. ? ,?n (' t Only <Jiiart-a-.Moiitli-A I ?ot ol' Red Tape to (jo Through With. (Creenville News.) The General Assembly has at last brought forth a llt|UOl' law, replacing the one-gallon law of 101 Si? the al . lowanco having been reduced to one rna ri of whiskey or ono call?n of (ne, to be had only hy males of ace . nd bj women only when they are ..?inls of a family. As a prerequisite . ? delivery, the buyer must secure a ernilt from the Probate .Indi;?' to ? hom the former makes formal it III - n'lVlt that ll;e liquor is lo he used for uediclnal" purposes only. Meer, ppliroillly, cannot he ordered at all. lOxperience will shortly demon .iate whether or not this is an ap reclable liuprovenionl over the cxist ?lg law. Since the General Asscill I ly, Instead of adopting .hone dry" roh ?hit ion. has committed itself lo a tapering oil'" policy, it doun seem lo s that a reasonable allowance ol' . uer might have been included as au iternative for whiskey. The exclu sion of beer altogether strikes us as ii wise, since tile man who prefers hat milder beverage must drink something stronger and more intoxl atillg, if drinks at all. There are thousands of pi opie in this State who ;ke au ocacsional class of boer, hut .ho drink rory lillie, il any. wine or vhlskey. li seems lo us that the (igical requireinent of a ' tapeline ?ff" policy would hnve been a small mani it > of whiskey, with a larger .nani itv ol wine or a lair allowance ;' beer as an alternative. 'I'he affidavit thal liquor is to be .sed for '?medicinal" purposes will ause wholesale perjury, li is likely liai only a small per cent ol' the users ill liones*ly desire il for lu alt li's -.ike. ll will mean that a lalee pro oil ion of the consignees are going i have io lie to gel their liquor or be . iddenly a til ic ted by strange and mul tifarious diseases which will not re piiro medical attention. Why didn't lie General Assembly require thai the applicant also slate the nature ol' lie ailment'.' There is going to be .armin;: variance between Ibo sta tistics of the health authorities and the I'roba te Judge's books. The Pro bate Judge is not given discretion n Ike matter-if a big, hearty a id ni sk y fellow wants a cort l?tente, he -els it automatically and the Probate fudge cannot take his blood pressure, put a thermometer In his mouth, feel bis pulst?, take tho "history" of thc ?.alient's case or examine (he condi tion of his tongue* which it is be lieved, would generally he found in a \ery dry and parched state. Re quirement tu' a physician's certif?calo would have been belter, even though such a method would have boen freely abused by some of the nit die.il profession. Our impression ls that reliable physicians very rarely now-I adays indicate whiskey or wine for any of (he ills that Mesh is heir to. I;' the prescription tiles could be ex amined, we venture the assertion that ?.ry few calls for even small "Jlg L*ers" of whisko.\ would he found. In dlcntioil of whiskey by physicians is tho exception anti liol the rule. The News takes tho view Hull the resiric 1 on for medicinal use is farcical. The new law will in all probability s. ttl lld without material amendment ..util a new Legislature ls elected and until after the primaries of MUS are cleared away. Political fear, we be lieve, prevented Hie General Assem bly from adopting bone dry" prohi bition. The people in Ifllf? at a gen eral election passed upon the ques tion, bul there seems to lie wide doilbl as to just what they meant and .-ist whether the verdict lhere handed down was expressive of the will of all the people, There is no small divis ion of opinion now as to tv hollier or not the majority of the people desire prohibition or some modification <>i the existing law. This situation has created what will probably be Ibo paramount issue in the State election of IO l S and Iben <'inll we have a lear expression of ibo people's will, .ilsa tremendous pity (hat this quos ti?n cannot be decided once for all nd removed Hom Hie sphere ol' poli file Quinine That Doos Not Affect The tiona llccnuse of its Ionic mut laxative offed.

Tho first thlllg I did was to select one nero of black loam soil that would make one bale ol' cotton ail acre, and I applied five hundred pounds of Malt-grade commercial fertilizer. I broke the land with a two-horse turning plow, about six inches deep, and harrowed ground thoroughly two or Ihree times. Laid off rows as for corn. fi >/L? feel wide, with two-horse turning plow. Applied seven two horse loads of barnyard manure per acte, in tho drill, and then with Cole distributer I 1 I two hundred pounds ol' guano in furrow with manure and subsoiled two inches deeper In bot tom of furrows, and planted corn with John Deere planter, IS inches in drill. When corn was coming np 1 laid off furrow in middles with one-horse turning plow and ridged to the fur row. A houl the Um h of April I straddled corn with two-horse spring tooth cultivator and filled furrow about half full ol' soil. On thc 1 Otb of May 1 planted velvet beans be tween thii hills ol' corn, dropping two to three heans to the hill, ('evered benns with two-horse spring tooth cultivator, cultivating corn at same time. (This cultivator cultivates one row al tl time. I made it myself by combining two side cultivators, using 20 spring tooth; also cultivated col ion with same thing, three times, lt saves much labor and time.) As '-OOH Its the heans were about six luchos high I cultivated as 1 did in the Ural and second phnv i ogs of corn. I cultivated thom twice more Ail h ?M-lmii heel sweep, laying-by t he corn. Vboul the 1.1th of .Inly the beans were putting on young pods, and I slopped cultivation. I?'rom one acre ! gathered 1,7."?? pounds of dried j 'ie ins in hull. Heans began maturing t lu? la- t of August, and I had another acre that would have made about the same amount, bul I cul this mid fed lo howes, cows and hogs by cutting down cornstalks and feeding them w hole. My corn from the land on which heans were planted was a great deal helter than where lhere were not any beaus planted. I threshed ls bushels ol' heans will? an ordinary pea thresher, which was operated willi a It-horse engine. Also threshed several bushels with a slick. I have sold about $.")'_' worth of beans from (his acre, and had I.OOO pound.- ol' beaus crushed hull and all. and feed it to hogs and cows in i hal form. The stock like it better than com when I hey become accus tomed to eal ?Hg it. When he.ui pods began to ripen at bottom of KialU 1 cul the lop out ol ihe corn. Hy this method it will make twice as much roughness as by pulling the fodder. When bottom lieaus begun lo ripen, Ihe corn began io cu re ?bon 1 I be sa me t Imo. There are n great many varieties of velvet beans on lim market, hui only one va liol y that is suitable to our climate, and that is the 90-dny spoil'led improved. If you wish a success try to gel seed as far north as possible, and they will mature uiuidt earlier. A bean grown in South Georgia and Florida is lalor about maturing. For this reason it is hot ter to net beans grown farther north for planting in this latitude. These beans are a great soil build er and stock food. On the roots are found hundreds ol' nodules, that store up and later furnish nitrogen to the soil. A good plan to usc in planting and for cutting and shredding this boan is plant in three-foot rows with or ange cane about the l."?th ol' April. You can cut and shred this before ihe other crops aro ready to gather. I'm not advertising those heans for sale, for 1 have sold all the seed I had to sell. R. 1). McDonald. Westminster, lt. F. D.
