Those who know Anderson expect that when she announced a hon coming week it would be a succes but even her out-of-town friends w] know how Anderson does things a] how well she does them, were agre ably surprised at the success whi< must have exceeded the most sanguii expectations of her closest friend The crowds have been and are thei but Anderson took care of them wi a genuine old Southern hospitalil and if there have been any there w] have come away or will come aw, disgruntled the trouble is in thems( Ves.

Here's congratulations to Anders( and to Editor Carpenter, of the Ma THE WATEE MAINS. In our local columns today we car: a story of the fine work done by tl Newberry firemen in the Anders< tournament races, and in connecti< with it an interview with Chief Wel on the inadvisabilty-to say the lea -of putting down additional fou inch water mains in Newberry, as a r sult of the recent bond issue, wh the South-Eastern Tariff associati several years ago recommended t taking up of all four-inch mains use and the substitution of larg mains. Chairman of the Commissio ers of Public Works Spearman mak a statement in which he gives the re sons actuating the board in layi: these mains at this time. Whatever the insurance rates a and may be, it matters little to a f( low what his rates are when his hou is burning, because all of us who a honest do not carry enough insu ance on our homes and our busine houses to cover our actual loss case they should burn. The insuran companies won't insure us for mo than three-fourths of the value, T believe it is. So that what we want is protectio and if Chief Wells is right, it do seem that we had better lay few mains and have those which we< lay adequate for the purpose f which they are laid. Chief Wells is going to make sor tests in the next few days and ti tes:s will show. He has been in it tiro deuartmen: a long time,. ami would be a hard matter to find a mO competent chief anywhere. When he so-uds a note of Warri it is well to heed . SECRET OF THE SOUTH. The secret of the S outh's p':sc --c.res and gre- nromise for t: contrasting of conditions )day with those of a decade ago are not aston ishing only-they are profoundly and everlastingly impressive. The South is keoping its money at homw. Not the sum total, perhaps, but more and mor (f it everv day. By and by all of it, approximately, will stay there. A few years back the South pro duced much raw material. bu- it (lid s not manufacture. Cotton-iTs great staple-brought a large influx of wealth into Dixie annually, but it im - mediately went back East in payment for things th- South could not get at home. Nowadays the South is learn ing to trade with itself, all the way from the cotton field to the clothing store. Over one-half of the cotton grown in the South is now manufac tured in the South. It is only a ques tion of time until the whole of the d cotton crop will be manufactured o there.-AVashington Herald. The South could grow its own bread and meat if it only would and wanted to. The South could be almost >f absolutely independent of any other g section of the globe. It can feed and e. clothe itself and do both in comfort. If We should manufacture the cotton, e. because we have the natural wateT power and the climate and every ad vantage, and until we manufacture the d output of our fields manufacturing e will never be overdone in the South. s, As we remarked some titme ago 10 however, we should direct our atten id tion more to the manufacture of thE e- finished governmentSTAetaoishrdlu h finished garment. We have made grea e progress in the development of enter s. prises for the manufacture of cloth e, and the development is still going on th but we are doing very little in th( y, way of manufacturing the cloth int< to the finished article. ly We need to take more lessons in th( ,i- art of trading with ourselves. An these lessons might be reduced fron )n the South to application to the ccm :e munity. Let us trade more with our ,d selves. nHOW TO BETTER THE COURTS. e- Continuing the discussion of the 'betterment of the courts in South Car a olina, we would urge that the gen ieral assembly at its next sessior .s ought to pass a law disqualifying anl '-member of the house or senate frort o election to judgeship or any similai office. We note the candidacy of a1 least one man in South Carolina whc is running for the legislature todg,y ir - the hope and belief, in our opinion rthat in case a vacancy on the bench shall occur in the judicial circuit 01 which his county forms a part, he imay be elected to fill it. He is a vera good man and will doubtless make a very good legisaltor, but we do nol believe that he would be a candidatE 7for the house of representatives to tday except with some such motivt >n as that we have indicated, and we dc not believe that a man should be seni to the legislature whose candidacy is s based upon any su.ch ulterior purpose tItis well known that it is practically rimpossible for any man not a mem e her of the general assembly to b( elected over a member of that bodl 'to any office in the gift of the genera: >assembly. We shall not go to th( llength of saying that the judiciary it in this State has suffered materially be ecause of this fact. We are even pre pared to admit that in some suci cases the legislator was the bette1 s Iman. Nevertheless, it may safely bE aasserted that the present condition is gnot a healthy one. The quickest wa3 to remedy it is by the passage of a elaw such as that which we have in dicated. Of course, it will be a harc 1-matter to get legislators who are "in' se thus to disqualify themselves. There r-e 'fore, their views along this line ought rto be sounded in advance.-The News and Courier. iner matter of electing its own mem besto positions within the gift of the elegislature has been so abused that ii had reached the point that it was al most useless for any outsider to apply for any position that was in the gift of that body, and there has rightly been considerable discussion of such a law as the News and Courier sug ygests. The legislature has elected it~ own members to positions and then tpermitted them to hold their seats ir the legislature in the face of the con stitution which declares the seats 01 .membe..rs of the- l:slamreFt x'act pos iIon. We do not know of any candidate wh i run1ing for the. legiskIZn w ith the specific purpose of securing som other position, P21 he the effort for membership in that body. It would seem a little hard not to permit a membe-r of t.ho -isatUre to stand for any TOsiLiOl within the gift of the legislature, and yet it is also hard to bar everybody else from any hope of securing such positions, as has virtually been thl case. * * * * * * * * * * * * RAPE. Clemson Extensimn WYork-Arti cle 15. * ** *; ** * * * * * Rape was the first introduced into: this country from England, where it has been grown for hundreds of years. On rich lan it. is one of our best soiling crops for hogs and sheep. Ir belongs to the cabbage family and the leaes resemble those of the mustard family. There are several varieties, but the best variety is the* :Dwarf Essex rape, which is a bien nial. There are a number of varie ties, but these are of little value. If Dwarf Essex rape is planted any time during the summer or fall it will afford pasturage all during the win ter and will mature its seed the fol lowing June. When grown on rich land two or three cuttings can be obtained. However, the best way to handle rape is to plant it for pastur ing purposes. Hogs eat it greedily and they can be turned on it at will Iand there will be no danger of their eating too much. However, if sheep or calves are pastured, care should be taken to feed them some hay first as there will be some danger of bloat. The South Carolina experiment sta tion has obtained as much as 25 tons of forage from this plant. Rape re quires a rich soil and while it will grow on almost any type of soil, it is highly necessary that the soil is made1 rich by heavy applications of well decomposed stable manure and large applications of commercial fertilizers. Any land that is well suited to cab bage will grow rape profitably. The seed should be sown at the r.te of 3 to 4 pounds per acre and care should be taken that the seed are not sown too deep. From one to two inches is the proper depth. In South Carolina the best time to sow rape seed is in October, however, they can be sown any time during the spring. In two. months after sowing the seed, the U rape will be ready for pasturifig. Rape is a splendid crop to sbw af-be ter a winter legume as bur clover,ai crimson clover or vetch. The seed sh should be sown at intervals of two to three weeks, thus giving a con- i Itinuous pasturage all during the sum Imer and fall months. If planted for i seed, it should be planted in Septem ber in rows 24 inches apart, and the ma rape should be cultivated during theic late summer to keep down crab grass ful and other grass and weeds, and it da: should not be pastured. An ;enor-1 mous amount of seed can be obtained sOC on one acre of improved soil. les The greatest enemy we haie in j South Carolina is the plant louse. At th this writing the S. C. experiment sta- mil tion has a beautiful patch of rape j gone to seed, but the plants a"t Slled with thousands of plant lice that will shij cut down the yield considerably'. Rape has never been fed with suc- the cess to dairy cattle as it taints the 1 flavor of the milk and butter. It is,; dot however, one of our best hog crops t as it is very rich in protein, in fact' almost as rich as clover hay. It, however, can not be depended upon to furnish the entire feed of the hog Cli because it makes a soft, oily fat. Hogs grazing on rape should, there- m fore, be fed some grain which makes mi a firm meat. Every farmer has about his feed sot lot a small patch that is rich enough er. to plant rape on and every farmer should have a snmall pc'tch of rape for his young pigs and hogs. Prof. J. N.
