Why not get Jimmie Ward to come down from Greenville and fly some in Newberry?* A lot of us here have never seen an airship. We understand that Senator Smith is advising the farmers not to use fer tilizer next year. We can not see the advantage in taking such advice. Bet ter use fertili7er and cut down the acreage, and make the same amount on one-half the land. Then use the other half for pasture or grain crops. -But it is not likely we will have as 'big crop another year as we had this year. Mr. Cecil Wyche, a son of Dr. C. T. Wyche, of Prosperity, has announced that he will be a candidate for the State senate in Spartanburg county. He has lived there for sevyeral years and is practicing law. The Spartan burg Herald thinks he is too young to go Into politics. It says he was sus pected of having political ambitions because he came from Newberry. Well, it is no sin to be young, is it? And it is no crime to have political ambi tions that we ever heard of, though it may be for a Newberry man. We do not see :much advantage to the Southern cotton grower in the fifty million dollar proposition to hold two million bales of cotton. Just how this plan is to advance the price of cotton we do not see. It may be that we do not understand the scheme. It seems that the cotton is to be sold to the cotton buyer and the seller is to re ceive $25 on each bale and a certificate for three-fourths of the advance in ease the price advances and to pay one dollar a bale for storage and in surance. But if the price declines the ' farmer loses all. We are told that fuiller details will be given later. The State board of health stands pat on its first proposition that the *hosiery mill at the penitentiary is a breeding place for tuberculosis and should be abolshed, and the board claims to have made a thorough in vestigation of the situation, and it should be remembered, too, that the State board of health is not in poli tics, and there can be no political sig niificance to the position taken, but it is a plain and simple statement of facts as the board sees the situation. It is now up to the legislature to say whether it will permit the continuance of a situation that is a breeding place for tuberculosis. A good many out-of-town and out of-State newspapcrs vcarried "stories' to the effect that Governor Blease w'is sworn as a witness before the grand' jury here on the Felder indictment. How this report got into the news papers is not known. It was not tent out by any of the Newberry 'corre spondents of the daily papers. It was state'd in the reports sent out from here that Governor Blease was in the court room at the time the indictment was handed out. That was all there was to it. As matter of fact, Governor Blease was nrt a witness before the grand jury in the Felder case, and did not go before d1e grand jury. Judge Gage's special chrg to the Newberry grand jury is so different front his reputed remarks in his gen eral charge that we yet feel constrain ed to believe that he must have been misunderstood.-Anderson Mail. If you have reference to his telling the grand jury they must be satisfied of the guilt of the party charged be yond a reasonable doubt before they found a true bill, there is no mistake and no misunderstanding. We heard' the charge. In justice to Judge Gage it should be said that he has taken the same poi tion before other grandI juries ~r the circuit, and it did not have recal reference to the Felder car be did make the state them on this particular case. In fact, the whole charge in the case seemed to lean towards the finding of a "no bill." It would have been undoubtedly bet ter if the Newberry grand jury had returned a true bill against Felder and allowed the case to go to trial. Ther-e are those, of course, that will rejoice that Felder "has won," but we do not think this is true. We think that the administration of the law in New berry has lost, temporarily at least. The probability is that the next grand jury, to be drawn in the spring will return a true bill, as it has a right to do if it sees proper.-Yorkville En quirer. We are inclined to think the York ville Enquirer is right. We have ab solutely no interest in the case and if it had been left to us we would not have brought the indictment, and in fact we would have closed up the whole dispensary business years ago and been rid of the whole thing. There is so much prejudice and poli tics in the whole business that there is little chance of a fair and impartial trial on any side. The finding of a "no bill" Is no vindication. Some time ago The Herald and News wrote to President Finley of the Southern railway, to ask if we could not secure his cooperation in the mat ter of relocating the public road be tween Newberry and Prosperity so as to avoid some of those dangerous grade crossings, and he replied that he would refer the matter to Mr. Coap man and ask him to take it up with the county officials. The supervisor was apprised of what President Fin ley said in the matter. And the sup ervisor seemed interested. Under date of November 25 we re ceived a letter from Mr. Finley In which he says: "In further respons? to your letter of September 25, in re spect to the highway between Pros perity and Newberry,' I am informed that Superintendent Williams has had a conference with the county super visor of Newberry county, Mr. L. I. Feagle, on this subject, the results of which I have no doubt are satisfactory to Mr. Feagle." We do not know the results of the conference, but we know that the supervisor is going right on building the road without getting rid of any of the grade crossings. And we know further that it would have been economy and good judgment to have paid more than the land is woi'th to ~have gotten ride of at least some of the more dangerous grade crossings. There ought to be a State law to re quire all. of them taken out. Where they could be easily taken out without injury to the road or the property, and with positive benefit to both, it is little less than criminal to leave them or to build a good road without taking them out. This could have been done between Newberry and Prosperity. ** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *KEEPING SWEET POTATOES. * * * * * * * ** * * ** * * * * ** * * During the past three years experi ments looking to the best method of keeping sweet potatoes have been carried on at the experiment station here. A careful study has been made of the rots of potatoes, and the con ditions u*nder which these rots thrive. We find that the majority of the trou ble in keeping sweet potatoes comes from the presence of disease on the potatoes when they are brought into the bank from the field. The black rot, and the stem rot, both of which are very common throughout the State, are primarily field diseases. They at tack the underground portions of the plant while in the fiets and cause black and scabby looking areas on the sur face of the tubers. When these pota toes are dug and stored in banks or houses these diseases spread through the entire lot a.nd cause the potatoes to rot. The most important thing, then, in connection with storing pota toes is to see that you have absolutely healthy potatoes to begin with. Where the crop is planted from vines the po tatoes are usually found to be very free from the disease. For this rea son it is well to bank .the potatoes grown from vinies separately from those grown from slips. This is es pecially advisable where you are not sure that the potatoes grown from slips are free froi 's"o o potatoes which ,*" . dr in the ordinary way. Care should b exercised to kefp tb, potatoes fro. becoming chilled at an- ti-ne; the ten perature in a bank shculd not be a' lowed to go below >0 degrees at an time during the winter. We fin. th' where potatoes are once thorough] chilled, it is almost impossible to kee the:m. The storage rots, such as tb soft and the dry rot both of which fr( quently occur in stored potatoes, mah rapid headway on potatoes when the are once chilled. Any temperature bN low 50 degrees wi-l chill the potatoE sufficiently to enable these rots t get a start. Potatoes should never be banke for two years in succession in the sam bank. The fungi which cause the d1i eases in the field and the ones whic cause the rots in storage, will liv over in these old banks and will al tack the new potatoes as soon as the are stored. The same soil and tb same straw should not be used fc two years in succession for coverin the banks for this same reason. Wher potato houses are used they should b thoroughly cleaned out and the wall and floors sponged or sprayed with 3 per cent. solution of formaline or 1 per cent. solution or blue stone b< fore the potatoes are brought Ji Where these precautions have be( followed we have experienced ver little difficulty in keeping sweet potE toes.
