Four years from now Newberry may have a candidate for the presidency of the United States. Our good friend, the Spartanburg Herald, is taking politics very seriously. So is our good friend, the Laurens Advertiser. It is somewhat hard to believe that Charleston was really dry last Sunday. if it be true, then indeed has the age of miracles returned. A great deal of dictaJ-orial editorial matter was ruthlessly disregarded "wnen soutn uarouna reiusea iu instruct for the wanderer. Clark carried Nevada, defeating Wilson five to one. Clark and Roosevelt carried California over Wilson and Taft. Politics makes strange bed-fellows, as has been remarked many times before. Think of the Columbia State and the Hon. John Gary Evans work ing in harness together. Mr. Bryan's telegram to the editor of the Columbia State, on the eve of the contention, seems not to have had the effect which was evidently hoped for, judging by the prominence given it. The Columbia St'Oe has recently been placing editorial matter two ?-J ~ rpV>io columns wiue un its uu?l page, iuio matter is very little more biased than the general run of its news matter, other than its Associated Press reports. We publish in this issue an extract from an address from Miss Marie Cromer, the founder of the girls' tomato clubs. Some of the schools that we have visited will remember that we have spoken of Miss Cromer's work, and no doubt will read this story with, interest We are sorry that Miss Cromer will give up the work as she has recently changed her name and no doubt will now have other duties to engross her attention. i The newspapers which joked about the secretary of a newly organized rutjase ciuu uemg suicneu wiui paralysis as he began to call the roll ^ showed very bad taste, to say the least. There is a something in the heart of every manly man which prompts him to show at least negative respect to physical infirmity and to speak no ill of the dead. Partisan politics sometimes leads one far astray. More's the pity. rrur vrwnvppv rinrTH'nri JLJULJLi JJU ?f 1/Ijiuij. v x ix v v *tl? Chautauqua tickets will go on sale at Mayes' Book and Variety store on May 28. The Chautauqua last year afforded a delightful week for Newberry, and this year's Chautauqua promises to he even better than the last one. This is a movement by Newberrians for the benefit and the pleasure of Newberry, and the visitors within our j gates. Let's make it a fine success. The Newberry Herald and News places the election of Mr. Rembert to the State convention to the credit of Blease strength. It should have said that the election of Mr. Rembert was the result of pure generosity on the part of the Jones people. Has anybody heard of a Jones man being elected where the Blease delegates were in the majority??Laurens Advertiser. We have no recollection of placing Mr. Rembert's election to "Blease strength." The Herald and News, in giving an account of the various coun ty conventions, said: "In Richland, George R. Rembert, the Blease floor leader in the house, was sent to the State convention. It is claimed tnai Richland's other eleven delegates are Jones supporters." We have no desire to detract from \ i the "pure generosity" of anybody. It i strikes us the statement of Th Her.iid and News was a si.npJe stateinen; oi | a plain, unvarnished fact. I AX I MXSTM < TKI> DELEGATION. The Democracy of South Carolina, in convention assembled, refused to instruct and thereby tie the hands of its delegation in the national Democratic convention. The convention, as was entirely .proper, endorsed the presidential candidate favored by a -majority of the members of the convention, but the resolution of endorsement has no ' '?51 >?J + r,arrtl?ri5! Dinning imu uiic uutmi delegation will be free to vote as they think best for_ the interests of the party ar the time of the Baltimore convention. As has been urged by The Herald and News, this was the wise course to be adopted by the convention. The Democratic convention meets after the Republican convention, and it would have been extremely unwise to tie the delegation with instructions and thereby lose whatever advanage may come to the Democratic party in choosing its nominee by selecting a standard bearer in the light of the j action taken by the Republican con- i vention. In addition, the situation J changes daily, and by the time the | Baltimore convention meets there J i may be and will probably be conditions to meet unforeseen at this time. The refusal to instruct is very gra| tifying, the views of Mr. Bryan to the contrary notwithsanding. NEWS OF PROSPERITY.

Express officials tonight deny that! the sum obtained aggregated anything j like the latter figure, but declined to : make any estimate of the loss. The bandits, who are believed to! be the pair who held up the Mobile & Ohio train at Corinth, Miss., in Feb-1 ruary, made their escape and tonight were still at large. Church of the Redeemer. (Rev.

Text Matt 16:26, "For what is a man j | profited, if he shall gain the whole j world, and lose his own soul? or what! I I shall a man give in exchange for his, soul?" The value and importance of a hu- ; man soul can not be estimated in j earthly terms, and, yet men are daily bartering away their souls for things j that soon perish, or that they them- j selves must soon leave behind. If it,; 2? ^ 1 were possiDe ior a man u> gam uie whole world, and in doing so lose his soul, he would lose far more than he; would gain. *,.

The quality of the j j milk, as regards the per cent, of fat, depends upon tne oreea ana tne muividuality of the cow; but the amount of milk and butter given will depend largely upon the amount and character j of feed supplied. In the sections of the country where j grass is abundant there is little need of other feed during the summer ex- J cept in periods of drought; but wherever the pastures are poor, as most of them are in this State, the dairyman will find it profitable to supplement them with soiling crops. In the sandy I land sections of the State where it is difficult to make good pastures, dairymen should not be discouraged, as they can easily produce as much milk per acre from soiling crops as from grass, and in most cases more. In managing a dairy farm in this j State an ideal plan would ! be to put the parts of the farm un- : suited for cultivation in grass and to: provide as much soiling crops in ad- i dition as may be required. It is ad- ' visable to have the soiling crops grown as near the place of feeding as possible, and the amount to be grown will be governed by the size of the herd. The following crops have proven very satisfactory at Clemson college and can be grown successfully in every nort r?f fho Qtato flafc" nnrl Vpfph I jl/ux w vi. tuv w< vy wi/o uuu * vw?* sown in September at the rate of two I bushels of oats and one-half bush'el of vetch per acre will furnish grazing < during the dry weather of the winter, from December 15 to March 15, with- j out lessening the yield of hay or grain, j This crop can be> cut and fed daily i during the spring before grass is available, or can be cut for hay or grain about June 1. As soon as the crop is off, the land is plowed and sown in sorghum and cowpeas in drills, about ! one-nan ousnei or sorgnum ana one- i half bushel of cowpeas being used per acre. This crop is ready to feed in i August and September when the pas- j tures are usually dried up. If prefer-' able, cane could be used instead of j sorghum, but it is not likely to yield : as much per acre. This system gives two leguminous crops per year on the same land, protects the soil from erosion during the winter, and furnishes the maximum amount of green feed or hay of the best quality. For the large dairyman silage is preferable to soiling crops,j as it is more economical and convenient, and furnishes succulent feed < every month in which it is needed during the year. If the farmers who are interested in [1 building silos and growing crops for j silage will write to Clemson college,: they will be given any assistance and information they may need.
