TWICE A WEEK, $LS0 A YEAR. ^ VF-RJ U J1 JLi 11 v iUb?r?? v-COUNTY CONVENTIONS THROUGHOUT STATE BIG MAJORITY OF DELEGATES CLAIMED FOR JO>ES. Fire Counties Instructed for Wilson? Six Endrosed Him?Tillman The News and Courier and the Columbia State published detailed reports of the various county conventions held throughout the State on Monday, giving the action, where action was taken, on the presidential candidates, and also dividing the delegates inito Blease and Jones columns. What effect the various conventions will have on the primaries this summer it is hard to see, and, as viewed * IT"? Vanrc oc staitPfl ! Dy rat neiaau auu V ?? Oj UO | heretofore, the conventions can hard- \ ly be put down as indicative of the political sentiment of the various counties. In some of the counties it is known that the action of the conventions did not express the sentiment of the counties. However, The Herald and News Las sought to glean from the reports in the daily papers the contentions of these papers as to the political affiliations of the delegates to the AAr?TT/\r? + ?r\n O'UH-t? wuicuuuu. The State convention has 336 dele* gates. The daily papers concede only 51 of these to Blease, and claim 247 for Jones, placing 38 in the doubtful column. That is the News and Courier's tabulated statement. The "Home" Counties. The Newberry convention, and its control by the Blease forces, was published in detail in the last issue of The Herald and News. In Lancaster, Jones's home* county, the convention - - r _ was control lea Dyxne Jones ibices duu strong resolutions were passed endorsing the Jones candidacy. Jones was also endorsed by the Edgefield convention. The Laurens convention strongly endorsed the administration of Governor Blease, called on the county candidates to declare themselves as between Blease and Jones, and elected a solid Blease delegation to the State convention. In Richland, George R. Humbert, the Blease floor leader in the house, was sent to the State convention. It is claimed that JRichland's other eleven delegaes are Jones supporters. In Union, Lowndes J. Browning, chairman of he ways and means committee of the house, and an anti-Blease leader, who was defeated by his home club as a delegate to the county convention, was sent to the Srate convention. It is contended that Union's delegates are Jones man, and that the alternates are Blease men. The daily newspapers place in the Jones column all the delgates with the following exceptions: Newberry is solid for Blease. In Kershaw five out of six are conceded to Blease. Two out of six in Berkeley are conceded to Blease. In Orangeburg, it is contended that the delegates are principally Jones supporters, bust the Orangeburg convention instructed its delegation to support the two United States senators, the governor, and the State chairman, for delegates at large to the national convention in Baltimore. . ^aureus is given solidly to tfiease, her delegates being instructed to support the governor. John M. Cannon was elected county chairman, and W. T. Crews succeeds his father, the late lamented Col. T. B. Crews, as member of the State executive committee. In Barnwell one delegate is conceded to Blease, and Dorchester's four delegates are solid for Blease. In Richland and Lexington one in each delegation are given to Blease. In Lee the Blease men are in the majority on the delegation. Blease is conceded 1 in Beaufort, 1 in Sumter, 1 in Oconee, 2 in Calhoun, 2 in Chester. Pickens divided, 1 being conceded to Blease. The baby county, Jasper, has a split delegation, 1 for Blease, 1 for Jones, and 2 non-committal. In Bamberg 2 are given to Blease. There was a split in the Georgetown convention, and two sets of dele- j gates are sent to the State convention, a Jones delegation and a Blease delegation. The Blease forces withdrew ar.d organized a separate convention. j The State's and the News and Cour-j ier's correspondents say that the withdrawal of the Blease forces came after their opponents had elected a presiding officer by a majority of one vote. The State convention will have to decide which delegation is entitled to I recognition. In Charleston there was a, split, and two conventions were 'held. The split in Charleston, however, came over the race for sheriff. State politics playing no part in either convention. Two sets r?f will go to the State con-j I~- ? vention, and the State convention will j have to review this situation. It is reported that in Spartanburg the I Blease men took no active part in the j convention. The other counties are claimed to have delegations to the State convention composed of Jones adherents. Tn imnth^r column in this issue of I The Herald and News, an interview with Governor Blease is published, in which he says that, notwithstanding the reports give the Jones men control of the State convention, his name will be presented as a candidate for delete at large to Baltimore. For United States Senate. Senator Tillman was endorsed in Edgefield, Lancaster, Greenville, Dorchester and Saluda. In Edgefield he was chosen by acclamation to the StaJte convention, while his op-ponent, Talbert, was defeated for delegate to the State convention. The Presidential Candidates. Five of the counties instructed for Wilson, and six counties endorsed his candidacy without instructions. There were no instructions or endorsements for any other presidential candidate. Underwood has supporters on the Newberry delegation, and the Newberry delegation will very probably support him in the State convention, and he has supporters on the Abbeville delegation, and other delegations. The following are the counties which instructed for Wilson, and the number of their delegates to the State convenion: Calhoun 4 Marlboro 8 Spartanburg 16 Richland 12 Horry 6 Total instructed 46 One of the contesting Georgetown delegations (the Jones adhernts) is instructed for Wilson. Georgetown Has six delegates in me cwuvcuuvu. Following are the counties which passed resolutions endorsing Wilson, and the number of their delegates: ! Florence 8 Dillon 6 Sumter 8 Donnn'All _ ^ II.JCLk U Chester 8 Williamsburg 8 Total 46 In Greenwood resolutions corimendatory of Wilson were passed. The Anderson convention passed a resolution favoring a presidential primary to be held in June. WltH d vote Ol ?50D m iue OLa-i.tr <~uuvention, it will be seen that there is an open fight on the presidential situation. From the sentiment manifest in the various county conventions, it is hard ly probable the State convention will instruct its delegation to the national convention. Church Notices.

An Appeal in Behalf of >'ew Jersey's Old Home Day. New York Sun. We have been asked to assist with our approval a project highly favored by a number of respectable citizens of New Jersey having for its object the setting apart of a day in midsummer for the reunion, at the places of their birth or adopted residence, of all persons born in that State or at any time domiciled therein. It is proposed that the civic dignitaries in the various cities, towns and villages take charge of the celebration and arrange its details with a view to giving the great I est pleasure to the largest possible ! number of persons. It will be a happiness to the Sun to render such assistance as it can to the ! promoters of this State-wide Old Home Day, and we urge our co-laborers in the press generally to join in the effort to make the occasion a complete success by aiding the effort that is making - ^ J -"-1- TT._ WJlonn to nn.u me ncm. nwuiu** hiuuu, whose presence and assistance are greatly desired. Mr. Wilson was elected governor of New Jersey in 1910, and immediately after that disappeared from the State. At various times since then he has been heard from, and it is reported that he has even been within the borders of the State. These reports lack confirmation and are generally discredited. It is feared that " - tttm _ ii. _ Mr. wirsuu is uie viiuum ul political wanderlust 'ahd that he may have strayed far. Mr. Wilson may be easily recognized by his oratorical and letter-writing nnwprs and his facility in discarding i political principles. He is eager to | please where it is worth while, and i slow to anger where good temper will obviously pay a dividend. He shows a marked liking for one-track roads if | they be well equipped witl switches. | If, on being found, he should show reluctance to revisit the State of his official paymaster, his scruples may be overcome bv the assurance that his | presence is wanted only for a brief pe1 riod, during which he will be permitj ted to make as many speeches as he | desires. | Cental Arithmetic. j Judge.

Now is the time that preparations should be made for planting root crops for fall and winter grazing for the hogs. At this time of the year the fall 11 anting of rye and rape are being gi azed down and something should be p.anted to take their places through tue summer months. Cowpeas, soy beans, sorghum, and peanuts are all excellent crops for this purpose. Root crops such as mangels, artichokes, potatoes, and chufad should be planted to furnish fall and winter grazing. In the fall when green feed is scarce, the hogs should be fed on root crops along with corn to fatten them for an early market Chufas are excellent for early fall grazing. Atichokes, ow ' ? 4-1 * ? 1'aanl'nor l'j ILLg IU UXe.ll 5UUU <1u?4A.'~0 ?. left in the ground, can be reserved until the chufas have given out. Either of these crops supplemented with corn will gi\e better grains than il the hogs are fed corn alone. Artichokes are among the best root crops for hogs. While they do not contain as much protein as peanuts and soy beans, the large yields which can be had, on the sandy loams too poor almost to produce a profitable crop of corn or cotton, and their good keeping' qualities when left in the ground through the winter, make them a very desirable crop for hogs. Beginning in October, hogs can be turned into a field of artichokes, and if allowed to graze only an hour or two each day, one acre should last 25 or 30 hogs all winter, provided a little corn is fed along with the artichokes. About the last of July the field of artichokes could be broadcasted with cowpeas, thus adding to the amount of grazing to be gotten from one acre. Rape also will do well if broadcasted between the rows'the last of August or during the first part of September fnr erazine later in the winter. Rape sown earlier than the first of September will give the best results, as it will be ready for grazing earlier. Peanuts also can be used in combination with artichokes. If these two crops are sown together, the peanuts should alternate with the artichokes, one row of artichokes being followed by two of peanuts. The rows of artichokes should not be placed too close together, for they will shade the peanuts too much. Artichokes should be planted in March or April. As they are not very tender plants, they can be planted shortly after Irish potatoes, and a light frost will do them little harm. From 5 to 7 bushels of tubers should be used per acre, in three aud onehalf foot rows, placing them 18 inches tr? two feet aDart in the rows. A fer tilizer consisting of 100 pounds of acid phosphate, 200 pounds kainit, and 100 pounds of cotton seed meal per acre should be applied in the drill at the time of planting. Shallow and frequent cultivation should be given. Harvesting can be done as soon as the plants reach maturity, or they may be left in the ground to be gathered by hogs. If the tubers are to be dug, tney should be banked the same as potatoes, or stored in a root cellar. F. G. Tarbox, Jr., Assistant in Agriculture.
