Gaffney, June 29.-Reports from the various farmers over the county, who availed themselves of the oppor tunity to put out tobacco plants which were donated by Tolleson Parker, and the Merchants and Planters National Bank of Gaffney, are to the effect that the plants are in a most flourish ing condition, and hid fair to make a splendid crop. One plant about four feet high is on exhibition in the lobby of the M. and P. Bank and is attract ing much attention. This plant was not put out until May, and if it is a fair sample o fthe plants all over the I county an immense crop will be made fro mthe two thousand plants which were given out. u - MOTOR REVENUES DEVOTEI) TO MEET GOOD ROADS BONDS In most States the motor-vehicle revenues are devoted to the mainte nance and repair of the State ro:uls or other improved highways.

The interest and principal of these bonds is to be paid entrely from the motor-vehicle revenues. There is no doubt that these revenues will prove sufficient for this purpose. The main question which remains is whether or not a satisfactory source of main tenance revenues can he secured so as to prevent these roa,-s, when con structed, from ;eteriorating. KEEP THE HOGS COOL. Every time a hog gets too hot, he pants away an appreciable portion of meat. And hogs get hot very easily. During the summer, especial care should be taken to hay.- :ne hog quar ters well shaded. If no natural shade is available, a very good shelter may be made of straw or boughs placed about four feet above the pen or wal low. Clean water in which the ho.s can lie should always be: provided, says the United States Department of Agriculture.

CONSIDER STACKING WHEAT With the biggest crop of wheat or record about to be harvested, it h probable that in many neighborhooth thrashers will not be able to make their rounds in the usual time. If left in the shock, wheat will be damaged by every rain, even to some extent by the dew. The stacking of wheat has fallen into iisuse in lattei years, but it would be well the De partment of Agriculture says, for the farmer who is not certain of prompi thrashing to consider it this year. --0 ACCUSED OF AIDING REVOLT Minister Noske Arrests Socialists and Conmunis:..
