On April the 27th was >held at Hodges, 'S. :C., under auspices of County Agent C. B.

The meeting was held at the farm of Mr. B. S. Hodges one of Greenwrknd 'c ni rvzt nrrtSTPSKivo farrrisrc \Ir Hodges has learned the basic principle of economic farming, that of soil building by the use of winter legumes mostly. According to <Mr. Hodges' own statement, he bought a very poor farm and about 9 years ago commenced to grow crimson clover on that farm. Of course he did me>et with very good success at first but he *iad faith in clover and determined to make it succeed. By perserverance and good judg ment, he has succeeded possibly be- i yond bis own expectations. He is now i growing clover successfully on practically his whole plantation, and his soil lias been changed from "poor" to ?* > one of productivity. l?and that produced 4 to 6 hundred povndg of seed cotton with an application of 3 to 4 hundred pounds of commercial fertilizer is now producing 12 to 15 hundred pounds to the acre without any fertilizer except a light application of 16 per cent acid. Laet year, 1915, Mr. Hodges produced on his farm, cotton, corn, hay, grain, etc. at market prices, worth oeiween 7 ana s cnousand collars, and used only 10 tons of 16 per cent acid that cost him $110.00, on the entire farm. The clover took the nitrogen from the air and stored it in the soil, and; the humus added by turning under THE SEWS OF PROSPERITY Ite?s Xhat Sboiuil Have Appeared t? 1 an- j. XBC?Uaj-TWVT.

Now, I am writing this, not with the, idea of boosting Mr. Hodges' farm, but1 with the hope that some one will read ! it and resolve to do likewise. Yields can ^e doubled and the fertilizer bill cut in half by growing j summer and winter legumes and: turning them under, just as Mr. Hodges and many others are doing. So I hope that every farmer in Newberry county will plan to sow some clover this fall.. In my eagerness to tell something j of Mr. Hodges' farm and. results I j almost forgot to tell about the atten-| dance. The meeting was attended by at least 1,000 farmers and business men. coming from several counties. The forenoon was spent in looking over the farm. In the afternoon we | had talks by Messrs. W. W.

WOMEN "SUFFERERS NEED SWAMP-BOOT Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney and bladder trouble and never suspect it. Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or i the result of kidnev or bladder disease. If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other J organs to become diseased. Yon mav suffer a great deal with paiu in the back, 'headache, loss of ambition, nervousness and may ibe despondent and irritable. Don't delay starting treatment. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physician's store, restores health to the kidneys prescription, obtained at any drug and is just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions. Get a fifty cent or one dollar bottle immediately from any drug store. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents i to Dr. Kilmer & iCo., Binghampton, N. Y., for a sample bottle, wnen writing be sure and mention The Herald and NTews. m9 m TOPIC ODER DISCUSSION A literary club was recently organized by women in a suburb of Boston For a while everything went along i beautifully. One evening, while the Browns were having dinner, Mr. Brown asked: "Well,, Inez, did you have a pleas ant meeting at your club v this afternoon?" "Oh, yes, dear!", replied Mrs. Brown, with great enthusiasm, "it was really a' splendid meeting. About i the best we have had, i tninK. "Indeed," said the husband . who I was not a firm believer in women's : clubs; "what was the topic under dis-1 ; cussion today?" Mrs. Brown couldn't seem to rerrfem-1 I ber at first. Finally, however, she exi claimed triumphantly: "Oh. yes, I remember! We discusj sed that brazen-looking woman with i red hair that's just moved in across I the street, and Shakespeare.''

Contending that the section barrir.g non-residents of South Carolina from securing a license is unconstitutional, John L. McLaruin, State warehouse commissioner, yesterday filed with F.! H. McMaster, insurance commission-: er, tne application or rnnip l^aiourette of New York for a broker's lie- ! e:Jse. | The letter to the insurance commis-! sioner follows: "Dear Sir: I am inclosing herewith an application of Philip l^aTourette of New York for a broker's license,'1 under the act of March 2, 1916. |; "You will recall that at the hearing before the legislative committee I ex- , pressed doubt as' to the constitution- i ality of the following clause in this , .... i * act, 10 wic: ^ " 'Under the terms of this act only . ] such persons may be licensed as are ( residents of this State and have been j licensed insurance agents for at least two years.' , Not Vital Section. "This provision, if held unconstitu- ! . tional, would not In any way impair j, the validity of the remainder of the ,, law. . . J j "Mr. LaTourette is connected with ? Samuels, Cornwall & Stevens, one of ] the largest insurance firms in the < United -States. They are carry ing c State cotton, and I am satisfied that, j ( with power to inspect and operate in :, j South Carolina, reTief can be had until; the next session of the general assembly, when further legislation may be , secured, if expedient at that time. ! "I am of the opinion that the clause to which I refer is unconstitutional, because: "1. The federal constitution guarantees to each citizen in every State the same rights and privileges enjoyed by eacli citizen in any particular State. The citizen of New York has the right to do business on the same terms and with equal opportunity as the citizen j of South Carolina, and ;vice versa. iAs i i a matter of fact, any citizen writing j insurance in South Carolina can go j right to New York and get a license j on the same terms with a citizen of that State, and you can only restrict a citizen of New York to the same terms that are applied to the citizens of South Carolina. Samuels, Corn wall & Stevens have licenses in many other States and have never been refused a license. They now have a license in North Carolina. Privileges Abridged. "2. This clause abridges the privileges a^d immunities of individual citizens in the several States. "3. It is a trade, not a police regulation, in any sense o 1 the word. It is not aimed at a corporation?an artificial creature?but at a man whose fundamental rights are protected by the constitution in. the pursuit of a business recognized by the act itself as lawful. I "Twenty-five years ago most of the j towns in South Carolina bad license! j / ^ i fees for -drummers. I tested one of i i these cases in the courts myself, and j it was Tield unconstitutional in the j principles which I have herein laid! down. "Spppose, for example, a man lived j in Charlotte and had an office in Rock Hill. It would be ridiculous to say that he could not write insurance unless he moved to Rock Hill and lived for two years. "If Mr. LaTourette can comply with all of the other requirements of the act, and I am correct in my vltfws, then you would be violating your oath to uphold the federal constitution in denying him the right to pursue a , legitimate business on the same terms and with equal opportunity as a clti zen of South Carolina. "Under the present situation, the law creates a monopX' for local insurance agents, who seem powerless to serve the public. I think, in a matter of this kind, that the interests of the public are paramount, and that no monopoly created to favor local agents should be allowed to stand in the way of the interests of the entire State.

I The following from The Anderson Mail will be of special interest to Confederate veterans nf Newberry: i Monday was the 51st anniversary of Dr. R. F. Divver's surrender. "It occurre-d at 2 o'clock in the af- J ternoon, I remember it well?in fact, I never will forget it," declared Dr. Divver today.

My engine was at Newberry ? aiiu caijj uuat muiiiiug we puueu out of Newberry with a train of flat cars. The cars were to be used in hauling away of the machinery from the shops of the Confederate government. The shops were located in Greenville, and we wanted to carry them off before the Yankees arrived and captured them. I "We were captured by a detach-' tnent of Yankees under Gen. S. P. Brown. This detachment was in pursuit of Jefferson Davis. We saw Mr. Davis and his cabinet cross the railroad at Hodges about 12 o'clock that lay. They were headed toward Ab-; jeville court house. Our train reach- j id Williamston and there it was cap- j ;ured by Gen. Brown and Ills men. "Everybody on the train except the women and children were captured.

We three and about I 25 Confederate soldiers, who hadj seen paroled, and who were on their j tvay home?.were caused to surrender, md were brought to the Anderson 2ourt house.
