HEMPTLL AND SENATORSHIP., Boom in His Behialf Reported Launched at Norfolk. News and Courier. Norfolk. Va., June 29.-Nothing has proved of so much interest to the South Carolinians at the Exposition than the following 'story'' which appeared under the headlines in the Norfolk Landmark this morning: "At a conference held yesterday morning between three distinguished South Carolinians a little politics was in jEcted into the ceremonies of the day to tie extent that a Senatorial boom was launched for Major J. C. Hemp hill. the editor of the Charleston News and Courier. Those responsible for the boom are Editor T. R. War ing. of the Charleston Post; Mayor R. G. Rhett, of Charleston, and Speaker Richard S. Whaley, of the South Car olina House of Representatives. "Mr. Waring made the announce ment. Ie said that it had been de finlitely decided that the veteran edi tor of The News and Courier should be elected to succeed Senator Asbury Latimer and that this desire was practically a certainty; at least this was the view taken at the conference held yesterday. "The details were not gone into. Mr. Wbaiey merely assured a repres entative of the Landmark that Major Hemphill would be honored with the Senalorship when the next election occurred and that Soigth Carolina Day was the appointed time for the an nouncement. "Whei Mr. Waring had made this announcement and his views had been concurred in by Mayor Rhett and Speaker Whaley, he was asked for his impressions of the Exposition, having resided in an Exposition. city. Mr. Waring stated that this was un questionably one of the most beauti fuil shows ever presented, and declar ed that the tone and character of the buildings and layout generally were exe.eptional. He said that the natur al beauty of the surrounding country served to harmornize with the Exposi tion, making it illustrative of the Col onial character which has been fol lowed in the entire construetion. ''Mr. Waring declared that it was -an especial pleasure for South Car *olinians and particularly the people of Charleston, since they remembered the cordial visit made to the late Charleston Exposition by former Gov ernor Montague aind his staff at Vir ,,ginia Day during their fair.'' Col. Waring seemed to be duly im pressed with the responsibility of his position as custodian of the Senator ial boom. It was reported a.t the Ex position yesterday that Senator Till man was here for South Carolina Day, and as Major Hlemphill entered the reviewing .stand he was greeted as the Senior Senator, aind tried his best to look the part until it was 'de termined that he should be the junior instead of the Senior Senator. He then kept both eyes open. The Char leston party left this evening for home after having a very pleasant time. Jas A. Hoyt. Mrs Rockefellfer Viewed from London.I London (England) Sketch. The wife of Mr. John D. Rockefel ler, the man who rose from a humble station to be the richest man in the world, with an income which probably exceeds $15 a minute, has a very lit tle-known personglity. Nevertheless, it is abundantly clear that the great multi-millionaire could never have at tained to this unique financial posi tion without her constant help and sympathy. She certainly shares her husband's simplicity of life and his strong religious faith. It has been said that Mr. Rpekefeller's house hold expenditure does not exceed a modest $10,000 a year, and it is known that he was long accustomed to teaeh .in a Sunday-school belong ing to the Baptist communion. Some time ago a curious experi ence befell Mrs. Rockefeller, the oc casion being an entertainment given by the family to some 40 members of young Mr. Rockefeller's Bible class. The members of the millionaire's family themselves prepared the meal in the kitchen, the young host and hostess carrying the dishes and Mrs. Rockefeller herself handing around the cups was heavy, but Mrs. Rocke feller had no thought of giving in un til all the guests were served. The joke was thlat one of the guests grave ly offered -her a tip-which, however, she was not allowed to pocket, for it was at once impounded for the church collection! This is worthy to be placed side by side with the story that the Paris Matin, having made a rough calculation of the value of Mr. Rockefeller's time, solemnly offered him a check for 5,000 frances in pay ment for an interview of 15 minutes. This so tickled the millionaire that he granted the interview for nothing. On the Wrong Track. Sotuthern Farm Magazine of Balti inore for June. A The News and Observer of Raleigh, N. C., says: "Two full-blooded Chickasaw In diant girls, now at Sulphur, I. T., have N v.irtten to the Agricultural -and Me chanical College here asking Presi- W dent Winston to aid them in securing G. as husbands a couple of the college af eadets. These girls are worth from an $25,000 to $50,000 each and are well wi edueate,. and their photographs show ao them to be good-looking. They write pr Dr. Winston that the educated Chick asw 0iris have banded together for ca the purpose of securiig white hus- ot bands. and prefer students of agri- w, tultural and mechanical colleges, who la are educated in agriculture and me- St -hanies. This tribe of Indians, next to w the Osages, is the richest in the no world. No doubt the girls can easily ju: find suitors to their taste." an These practically-minded girls have la, zone about husband-hunting with a Yuaranteed stake of $25,000 to $50,- TI )00 in the wrong way. They evident ly have not heard that the only ac- k ?epted channel for such educational so )hilanthropy is the General Educa- sy tion Board of New York. M hu Sheep in the Appslachians. sa Prof. A. M. Soule in Southern Farm Magazine of Baltimore for fu June: a The Cotswold are a vigorous, heal- w9 thy breed, and their fleeces are con- tif iderablv heavier than those of the at Down breeds. For instance, a mature ol< Cotswold will range in weight from 200 to 250 pounds, as compared with ar L60 to 175 pounds for most of the ju Down breeds. While the fleeces of the Down breeds will weigh from sev- tr m to nine pounds, the fleeces of the m< Cotswold will run from 11 to 13 th pounds. This breed does well in Can- fo da and- some of .the Northern States, but has never been anything like as ed popular as the Down breeds. They M eive their best results on rich pas- be tures because of their heavy bodies, he which do not allow them to be so ac- fe tive as the Southdown and some of tit the lighter, and finer-boned breeds. si4 f kept under shelter during the worst part of the winter season they would no doubt do very well in Virginia. Their wool is so long, however, that Bh when it becomes thoroughly soaked le: by cold rains it is likely to chill the th animals. On this account they have he lever been as favorably regarded by on heep growers in the Appalachian re-. ra: ion as the Down breeds. A little cu ~hange in management, however, di night easily overcome this difficul- wi y. th Variations in Corn Yiel4s.h Prof. A. M. Soule in Southern Farm m< WIagazine of Baltimore for June: tir Two kinds of corn favorably known ek in Virginia are Hickory King and to Virginia Ensilage. Believing that here is a material difference in the to trains of corn bearing the same name, an everal tests were made to study this mportant question in 1906. Hickory ol ing was obtained from four sources an md Virginia Ensilage from three. It ga is uite remai-kable that the yield of YC :he whole crop per acre in tons should ave been comparatively uniform, not vari:g more than a half ton in the : nost streme case. The yield of fod- at icr was virtually the same, but the ho ield of grain was not at all uniform, TIl :here being a difference of more than pe line bushels per acre between the best fo< ad poorst strain of Hickory -King se orn. With Virginia Ensilage the be yield ranged from 51.87 to 69.65 bush als, a difference of nearly 18 bushels he ser aere. These differences could ?ardly be due to accident, as the sam- wI les were grown on uniform ground in ad received the same care and treat nent in every respect. The selection gu f the seed' and its care and manage- loa rent in past years no doubt had an influence, but the data here present-~ eI ar'e sufficient to show emphatical ly that the strain of a standard var- tu iety selected may materially influ- of nce the yield obtained. This is a sh point that cannot be emphasized too strongly and should never be lost of sight of by the practical grower. It is th a condition clearly recognized by stock breeders who understand that ertain families within a given breed 10o tire more prepotent, have the desir- he able characteristics engrafted more in; strongly and can transmit -them with ~treater certainty and uniformity to their offspring. If this point were more clearly recognized and the far- by mer seeking for a variety would se- w< ure strains from a number of sour- se ces he would of.ten find one quite su- m; perior to all the others, and by util- in izing this one he could increase his yields considerably.d Mother-in-Law-Has the young th' man who saved my life yesterday sa called upon you yet?

The verdict was a sur ise to many. The charge of Judge Purdy practi ly removed the possibility of any her verdict. He stated that there is ino such thing as the unwritten w recognized by the Courts of the ate, and that the pardoning power is in the hands of the Governor and t in the hands of the jury. The ry was instructed not to consider ything pertaining to the unwritten The arguments of counsel were able. Ley took about a day.
