Entered at the Postoffice at New erry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, June 9. 1911. We notice from the daily papers that in the State of Georgia the va rious local organizations known a the chambers of commerce and board, of trade have formed a State organiza tion. It seems to us that such an or ganization would be a valuable asse1 for South Carolina. VVe unaerstanc that efforts have been made to organ ize the secretaries of these commer cial bodies, but if the bodies them selves would form a State organiza tion comprising representatives base upon a certain propcrtion of thE membership, a great work could bf done for the entire State, and eacl community would be bettered by th< work. THE HOSPITAL MOVEMENT. It is greatly to be hoped that th( effort which has been begun by thE physicians to establish a hospital ir Newberry will meet with success. There is no reason why Newlrry should not have a first-class hospital. There is every reason why it should. We understand that those in charge of the matter are meeting with en couragement. This is as it should be. Laurens and other nearby towns those that have not hospitals already - -have movements well under way for them, which will be successful. The hospital movement is oRe which should appeal to every citizen of Newberry, in every walk of life. It would be a great thing for the town, it would be a boon to sufferers, and from every viewpoint it would be a n:ost desirable investment. We sincerely wish success to the efforts wgich are being made to -build it. , COL. JOHN F. HOBBS. It is always pleasant for the folks at home to hear from their friends in other parts, particularly when the news from those friends is good. Col. John F. Hobbs is a native of Lexing ton county, but a graduate of New berry college. and a frequent visitor to Newberry, especially on commence ment occasions. He will be renmem bered pleasantly by many of our cit izens and we have no doubt that these citizens will be pleased to have good 'news from Col. Hobbs. It was our pleasure while in New York a few *> days ago to call at the office of Col. Hobbs and also to take what he terms a "Dutch lunch" at his home with his family. Cul. Hobbs is a member of the class of '79 in Newberry college, and graduated along with, Prof. C. WV. Welch and~the Daniel boys. He is at present the editor and largely the own er of The Caterer, a monthly maga zine published in the interest of the * hotels and resturants of the courftry. In company with MIr. James MI. Payne. of Anderson. the editor called on Col. Hobbs and had lunch at the Kaiserhoff. and during the evenin'g we visited a number of leading restaur ants of the city. Through the kind ness and courtesy or our triena, Col. Hobbs, the evening was pleasantly and profitaly spent. and it is a pleas ure for us to state that our friend and former college-mn:e goems to be pros pering in his adopted home. He is a member and one of the leading spri in the Thirteen club, and that great organization had just rearrned from an outing to Baltimore which was un der the personal direction arid man agement of Col. Hobbs. THE. CLEMSON DECISION. We confess that we have not read carefully the decision of the supreme court of the Uited States as to Clem son college. It seems that thoso who have read it care-fuliy anid are compet ent to judge are of the: opinion that it merely decides that a corporation. wli-.her a collegc or riot, may br. suAd for damages or :Pinja.:. The >t8 nravsmaper say> xh . e opiniron cot trusie.s wiih a self-perpetuating ma jority, deriviing office and authorit) from the will of Thomas G. Clemson gives it the nature of a private rathei than a State institution. The conten tion of the plaintiff that the Stat( holds the Clemson estate as a truste( for the purpose of conducting an ag ricultural and mechanical school iE left untouched. . . . 'rne supremf court in the Hopkins case merely de. cides that a public corporation creat ed by the State., whether a city, 1 county or a college. receives no im munity from suit at law praying dam ages for tort or injuries and that sue corporations are themselves answer able when they take from a citizer property without process u iaw." r is held that the UniversiTY or Win throp might be sued for a similar tor under the doctrine of this decision. So it would seem from this decisloi that the doctrine "that those who havi been so blatant in proclaiming tha the trustees were holding two of fices" will not have to "change theii tactics," but that question is still un decided. It seems to us that the attorne3 general's office should bring the sui which the legislature directed it tc bring so as to determine this ques tion directly by our own supreme !court. If the constitution does nol mean what it says, then the soonei the supreme court tells us so the bet ter for all concerned. On the contrary if the constitutior does mean what it says. then thosE who are charged with the making ol the laws of the Commonwealth should be made to obey the constitution. Substitute Newberry. Greenwood Journal. There is no reason in the world why Greenwood should have mosquitoes, but it is a fact that in 1he last Iew years she has had an abundant crop during the months of July, August and September. The thing to0 do is to start now and keep these pests ana breeders of disease from coming. The board of health has very wise.ly set apart the week for cleaning up the town. aid called upon the citizens to cooperate. We hope that they will re spond most cheerfully and that in a few days Greenwood will be as clean as a penny. But wvas anything said about wag ing war against the coming of the mosquito It was an oversight. Lets begin -now and keep this up. Every place vi'here there is stagnant water should be drained and kerosene oil poured over the water. Look out for the old tin cans or other receptacles that hold water and Iittt them out ol business' The thing to do is not to wait for these pests to come. for once they are here. they will remain with us, but keep them from coming. Do it now. Do not wait for tomorrow. The comn fore of your neighnors, the reputation of Greenwood demands that we should keep out he mosquito. Pleasure and Dollars. New York.

Newberry, June 6.-It is rumored in Newberry that Thomas B. Felder, the Atlanta lawyer, 7orimer attorney of the old dispensary winding-up com mission, for whom a warrant has be ,n! issued charging him wvith coilnpiry to def::a ud the State of South Caro lina, an:i attempting to bribe Ifnb Ev-1 ans. has retained a Newberry aftt ier 1 to look after his interests. While there has been no definite announce ment to that effect, nor a verification of the rumor, it is known that the Newberry lawyer in q.uestion was in' Atlanta at the time that Sheriff M. M Buford. of this county, appeared be fore Governor Brown with requisi tion papers for Felder. Even should the requisition for Fel der be refused, by Governor Brown. .it is safe to predict that the Newberry' sheriff will sooner or later nab the *Atlanta lawyer. I.t is Sheriff Buford's 1 boast that he "always gets 'em when he once star,ts after 'em"-and his; reord bears hinm out in this assertion. E.ARTHQUAKE IN MEXICO. Sixty-three Are Killed and Seventy five~ Injured by Earthquake in Capital. Mexico City, June 7.-Sixty-three killed, 75 woundled.'property loss, $50, 000. These are the net results of an earthquake which visited the capital this morning and, injected a note of tragedy into what was expected to' be a day of pure rejoicing. When the work of searching the ruins is comn pleted it is possible -that the list of It the dead will be somtewhat higher and there are doubtless many wound ed. who, with traditional fear of the authorities and government hospitals are anxious to evade discovery. The property loss is but an estimate and is base"d upon estimate's made by own ers and contractors. Little of the loss ~s covered by insurance. 1; was 0.2 o'o wvhCn the first shock wasfIlt.

Can a South Carolina farmer make i bale of cotton per acre by August I? I feel sure that it can very easily )e (lone. In 1908 the writer planted )ne acre on cotton April 28 and by July 28, 90 days later. had fixed be vond the bloom enough bolls to pro :luce five hundred and seventy pounds )f lint cotton. The cotton was picked September 8, six weeks after the 28th )f July. It requires from six to seven wseeks from the bloom to the open boll. The making of this early crop was accomplished -as follows: The land was in cowpeas in 1907. In Jan nary 1908 it was plowed with a re versibl- ,isc plow t> a eight inches. Fifteen tons of manure was spread broadcast over the land and the disc harrow run over it. Apr11 1 it was laid off in four foot rows and listed with a one horse plow. Later the middles were run out and just be fore planting a section harrow run ,ver the land. The soil was in fine ondition when the planting was done and a stand was secured in a few iays. The side harrow was used at >nce and subsequent shallow cultiva ions followed rapidly. No commercial 'rtilizers were used. Nothing unusu )1 or difficult is needed in making such a crop. It consists wholly in the irt of getting -a supply of decaying matter in the soil; in preparing a perfect seed Ned,. finely pulverized, rirm. and well supplied with avail ible plant food; planting good seed )f a well bred. early or medium'\early rariety; planting the latter part -of April; not more than one-half bushel Yf seed to the acre and cultivating rapidly to get an early and quick ,rowth. One thousand pounds or nore of a good fertilizer can be sub ;tituted for the manure in South :arolina. It is easy and a bale to he acre can be made before August I almost any year. Prof. W. R. Perkins, D:rector Agricultural Department. Snecial Notice. The regular quarterly meeting of ,he chamber of commerce will be held mf Thursday night. 15th inst.. at 8 1'clock.
