Will Prosecute Other Directors. It is stated on good authority that indictments will be made out in the near future against three of the di rectors of the bank who were asso clated with. Mr. Carlisle in these al leged corrupt transactions. There was also some intimation of thi: dur ing the trial of Mr. Carlisle duriz, arguments upon objections between Mr. Cochran and Mr. Dominick. During the trial, the defense brought out considerable evidence during the cross-examination, tending to show that several nf the other di rectors of the bank were heavily in debted to the bank in the same man ner as Mr. Carlisle, when they were possibly not able to pay back rhis money and also tendiig to show ftat the directors were somewhat negli gent in the supervision of the affairs of the bank. Just when these indict -ments will be made public, is not 'known, but it is not thought likely that they will come up during this term of the court. The trial ot Mr. Carlisle has arous ed considerable interest throughout this section of the State, both on ac -count of the fact that Mr. Carlisle was well known, and also since this is the first case of the kind brought against a national bank president in this State. The indictment was re turned as a true bill during October, 1909, by the grand jury of the United 'States district court in this city, shortly following the visit to New berry in August of Mr. Sherrill Smith, government banking account ant. ** *:* * * * * *1 *SCINTILLATION S.* * B~y Squibs. * * -* * * * * * * * * * * Remember not to forget "The Sins off The Father" tonight, Friday.

Mr. Editor: The booklet of Prof. Riggs. acting president, in regard to the nepotism existing at Clemson col lege, leads one to infer that this nepo tism is the result of the action of the' last two presidents of the college. But the booklet does not show one of eith eri president's relations enjoying their nepotic professorships. And the more reasonab!e inferenc& and the one gen erally accepted is that the recommen dations of these presidents were due to the wisihes. of members of the board of trustees of the college. The position as president of Clem son college has not been a secure one. And this booklet might have shown that these last two presidents had to~ resign. while the neptoic professors continue to hold their places.

Washington, Oct. 17.-The people of he South should keep at home the hou-sands of dollars which they are Lnnually sending into the West for neat and the farmers of the South an bring about this much desired .ondition and can at the same time ealize handsome profits for themsel es if they will engage in the raising )f hogs more extensively, declaxes ?rof. Dan T. Gray, of the Alabama 'olytechnic institute, who has charge >f the department of animal indusry )f the United States department of tgriculture, in "Farmers' . Bulletin 11" entitled "Feeding Hogs in the 3outh," just issued by the department. "Hogs can be raised as cheaply in he South as any where else and in nany cases more cheaply but hogs ,an not be raised profitably on corn Llone," says Prof. Gray, and in the )ulletin he gives in full detail the )roper methods of feeding hogs in or !er to realize a profit. Figures are ,Iven showing the results obtained rom the use of various feeds in ex >eriments conducted at different )Oints in the South. The bulletin hould prove of much value to any )outhern farmer and its circulation vill doubtless result in a greatly in reased activity in hog raising. Presi lent W. W. Finley, -of the Southern tailway company, who is greatly in erested in having the South raise ts food supplies at -home will be glad o have a copy of this bulletin sent o any farmer in the South who will .ddress a request to him at 1300 )ennsylvania avenue, Washington, D. .., or request may be made directly 0 the department of agriculture. Before going into the details of the >roper feeding of hogs Prof. Gray nakes some very interesting observa ions. showing how the raisng of more iogs in the South will prove a benefit o the whole section. He gives fig tres showing the consumption P', tome-raised and western animeh In 31(minghn, Ala, in 1907, proving ht in tihat year alone more than a nillion dollars went out of Birming ram into distant States. all of which hould have gone into the pockets of south'ern farmers. Other reasons why toiithrern farmiers should raise more ogs are -stated as follows: "Pork can be made as cheaply, and erhaps more cheaply, in the South han in any other section of the coun ry. And there are many reasons why ur Southern farmers should intro uce this line of animal production ato the farming system. One of the easons is mentioned above--the aoney spent for meat by Southern 'eople would be kept at 'home. An ther is the influence it would prob ibly have on the price of cotton. It iill never be possible for the South a control the price or cotton until the out.hern farmer places himself In osition that he can .hold the crop af er it is produced. So long as all the farmers are re uired to sell the entire crop of cot an each fall, so long will its price e an un.reliable and unstaple one. 'he only way by which a farmer can lace 'himself in a position where he 'ill not have to sell all his cotton ach fall is to produce something in ddition to cotton; and unquestion bly one of the best supplements to ble cotton crop would be .raising 'of ogs. The hog business can be so lanaged that the owner can have roney coming in from it at least wice a year, which would enable him hold his cotton as long as he leases. "Furthermore, the hog is especially dapted to the farmer with small cap :al, as but a small amount of money required with which to begin the usiness, and returns begin to come i a few months after it is started. 'he sow is a rapid produccer. Money turned over rapidly. With $125 in ested in One boar and five to eight aws it is easily possible to have for ale from 5.000 to 8,000 pounds of ork, live weight, in a year. Tn oth r words, the yearly sales should be 'om two to four times the amount of 1e investment. A Ross .Thst the Same. z. Louis Post-Dispatch.
