C., under Postal Act of March 3, 1879. April 26, 1916 The dry weather of the last few weeks has greatly lessened u? ? IL1C MlUd^L'Lld 1UI Ulft Well Liup. Heads are coming out only a few inches from the ground, an j unless rain comes very soon the oat crop in this section will be very light. Wheat doesn't seem to be effected so muchMr. J. W. Terry has a fine field of clover between his home and the road. We suppose he will plant corn after the clover, and if he does, we want the fel lows who think clover doesn't pay to watch his corn and ask him how much and what kind of fertilizer he used and then to count the cost of his corn and the cost of theirs. Many newspapers are printing old news items from their files of ten. twelve, sixteen and twenty years ago, and the stuff is usually interesting In some instances this old news is more interesting: than the new. This paper will not start such a department until later. Our tiles do not date back further than the birth of the town, and our old news would not be so old. This paper hasn't made much comment on the Villa chase for indeed there has been little worth the saying:. Just how this scamp is to be apprehended by an army of soldiers is more than we have been able to see. This chase is much like the effort a few days ago to catch John McIlwain on Mr. Funderburk'^ farm five miles from town, ^^^in ^ki^^^hatthp posse of wmte but no white man knew where John was or what ho WilR dnimr Th?v tnnur only where he had been. Our brave lads would welcome a fight with Villa, even more than these men wanted to meet Mc Ilwuin, but Villa knows all about their movements and desires while they know nothing of his maneuvers until he is gone. Velvet beans may be purchas ed in Pageland now for the first time. We would like to see a great number of farmers sow at least a small area to this wonderful nitrogen-gathering plant. VpIvpI hp'.inc mtilro ?i growth of fine hay, and store perhaps more nitrogen in the soil than cow peas. Then there is the soy bean, splendid for hay, but more popular for fattening hogs. Mr. T. M. Jenkins has been experimenting with sov beans for a few years, and praises them highly. He now '.OO ...1 .1 mo tvnciii inert; was ll : trip of cotton, one or soy beans and one of cowpeas. He is .vatching this closely, and reTorts that the wheat is a little letter on the soy bean land thanAdhere the peas grew, and better >n the pea land than on the cotton land. He doesn't believe in nuch high-priced commercial fertilizer. Influences In Germany Making for Settlement Washington, April 24.?Indi cations that powerful influences in German pclitics are opposed to any action by the Berlin government which might lead to the severance of diplomatic relations with the Uni'ed States understood to be contained in confidential dispatches received today by the state department from Ambassador Gerard. So cialists end Labor leaders are represented as being particularly j adverse to any such move. Other dispatches from Mr. Ge tard were said to contain strong intimations that the Berlin government would make some concessions to the United States in reply to the note demanding ihe immediateobandonment of present methods of submarine warfare. It still is uncertain, how ever, whether the concessions will be sufficiently broad in their scope to meet the American demands. Officials allowed it to become known . that Mr. Gerard's dis patches indicated that Germany woul go to great lengths to preserve friendly relations with the I Tnit??rt Mr Corar<1 ic understood to have gained his views during conversations with Berlin officials, including Foreign Minister von Jagow. His dispatches are said to emphasize the difficulties by which the German government is confronted in endeavoring to find a way to meet the demands of the United States without arousing the element which insists upon a relentless submarine warfare against the shipping of the entente allies. The state department tonight was awaiting a dispatch from Mr. Gerard reporting the results of a lengthy conference today with Dr. von Bethmann Hollweg, imperial German chancellor, reported in press dispatches Officials expressed a particular interest in that part of the press repoits which indicated that the reply to the American note would not be made until after the chancellor had another opportunity to confer with the emperor, who is at the front. The fact that the conference lasted more than an hour was regarded as being a hopeful sign; it being pointed out that if the German government was dis posed not to meet the American demands it was improbable there would have been a discussion of such length. A report from Mr. Gerard is expected tomorrovy.
