SPY Oil TRAITOR UKVEALS SECRETS Hufitrug for "Writer oi' Letters to Senator Telline: Forbidden Details. Washington, June ^ lnvestiga iion by the senate nav. , committee of accidents caused by aefective am munition on armed merchantmen was interrupted today to await the outcome of a search by government agents for the writer of letters mail ed from Detroit, Mich., to Senator Frelinghuysen revealing naval ord ance secrets. Secretary Daniels, placing the let ters before the committee, declared that either a spy or a traitor had been at work because the informa tion disclosed could have been ob tained nowhere except from the confidential files of the navy's ord nance bureau. He insisted that the writer should be found and required to explain. The committee adjourned until Werinesdav bv which time it is hoDed to locate the author of the letters. ' Senator Frelinghuysen told the committee that he had no desire to shield any one and had sought un successful to discover the identty ?f his correspondent. Tonight he gave out a statement defending the letter writer, saying his object was the welfare of the country and to prevent ^further accidents and de claring that Mr. Daniels' use of the words, "spy" and "traitor," was re markable.

Clemson College, June 11 ?The peanut will furnish more costly food elements for man or oeast than any other crop that can be planted dur ing June and early July. It is rich in protein, which is a substitute for meats; rich in carbohydrates, a sub stitute for white bread: rich in oil which is a substitute for butter or other fats required by the human or animal system. Any vigorous family would be well fed with practically a balanced ration, if it had only Irish potatoes and peanuts three times a day. Both crops can be planted on grain lands up to July 15, July 15 being probably the ideal time for planting potatoes for fail crop. The White Spanish peanut is the most prolific' variety, and can be grown in rows 21 to 30 inches wide, and six to eight inches in the drill. After turning the stubble, thoroughly har row with smoothing harrow, and plant nuts. on a level, using 300 to 600 pounds of a mixture of two-thirds or 16 3-'cr cent, acid phosphate and one-third cf cottonseed meal. If it rains before the nuts are up. by all means n-n the smoothing harrow or weeder over the field to kill all ger minating grass and weed seeds and to conserve moisture. Shallowly cul tivate after each rain, and when nuts are mature, run a one-norse. pjow (with mould board or "wing" remov ed), under each row. Allow to wilt and then stark around polls about five to six feet high (after nailing two strips crosswise of poll, about eight inches from ground) with nuts toward the poll. Cap well with grass or other similar material and let stand about four wee^s or until dry. Haul to barn, remove nuts for family use or feed tops and nuts to live stock. THE HERALD ANI) NEWS.

The men of Pickett's brigade were not so numerous as the others. lor as captain v. a. lapscou. cap tain of the company in the Fifty-sixth Virginia regiment, put it: "Of the thousands of men who went into the charge at Gettysburg, I have seen probably less than a dozen since the surrender."
