London, March 16.-Four hundre

a bombardment of Kiel by the Gei

says thQ Berlin correspondent to ti
London Times, under (late of Tuesda
evening. Efforts to form a Kapp mu
Nstry have been abandoned.
Kapp Lacks Support.
Berlin, March 16.--The new Kap
government ate Berlin has not foun
the support it looked for, and whil
its hold on the administrative activ
ties are growing weaker, the strengt
of President Ebert and his supportec
including the members of the nationi
asmembly at Stuttgart, has increasc
materially, if all' reports are to I
believed. Consequently Ebert's r<
turn to Berlin at an early date is coi
fidently predicted in some quarters.
. That Dr. Wolfgang Kapp has vii
tually reached the end of his res'urc<
Io far as concerns himself as 1 %d <
the revolutionary movement i. ev
deneed b ythe fact that he is said I
haVe been ready to retire since Satu
day, but was persuaded by Coloni
Bauer, leader of the Royalist part;
and Major General Ludendorff, to r
main.
"Impossible" Government.
General Groener ,the Prussian wt
minister the Frankfurter Zeitung al
sorts, has telegraphed to Field Ma:
shal Von Hindenburg that in his opit
ion the Kapp-Von Lucttwitz goveri
ment is an impossible one, wheth<
from the viewpoint of home affairs <
foreign atairs. Groener is quoted t
ptying that Von llindenburg is tI
i ol of the German people and a woi
from him woul( sflce. to bring bac
the regular troops to a constitutionm
basis.
General Groener is also credite
with having sent a messa-e to -Pres
dent Ebert offering to act ns mediat(
between him and Von I indeiibui
with a view to restoring contstitutioi
.!dism.
* Von lindenb'urg has written to D
Kapp advising him to withdraw fro
his position, Cologne dispatches sa;
and has advised President Ebert I
call for new elections.
Ebert's Views Not Known.
pThus far, however, what the const
tutional president intends to (10 is n<
known in Berlin. But the future a<
tion of the national assembly wvi
probably (decide his attitude. Tlhos

President Ebert's firm grip on at
ministrative affairs in Berlin is ind
cated b ythe fact that the imperal f

'WHAT OUR COUNTY I
FARMERS ARE DOING'
1 Mr. Stackhiouse Holladay, who lives
near Manning, has built at very ser-'
viceable and comfortable hog house. I
It is "A" shaped and large enough
for four large hogs to sleep in at one
time. Mr. Holladay has not over i
looked the fact that if the best results
are to be secured from raising live
stock proper care must be taken with
them and one part of the proper care \
is adequate housing. Animals can
not pu; on flesh and generate a lot
of heat at the same time. This they o
must (10 during cold rainy weather in I
winter unless shelter is provided. Bet
ter get busy and follow Mr. Hlolla
(lay's example.
Mr. George Tindil had some of his
men busy laying tile darins last week. t
Mr. Tindal has already laid several
miles of tile drains on his farm and it
I is a paying proposition or he would
not be continuing the project. On Mr.
Tindal's farm there are very few
d itches that must be cleaned out every
winter or that are in the way in sum- 1
,ner when planting, cultivating and
harvesting time is here. In most of
his farm he can drive around as if
there was never any need of draining
and yet his land is being drained. Be
sides the land where Ihe ditch used
to be is now used for growing crops
and tht.t same piece of land will in a I
few years pay for the tile drain by
'the increase gained in his crops. The
boll weevil thinks a grassy, trashy
ditch bank is just the ideal home for
its winter quarters. 'Nuff sed. There
are miles and miles of ditches in I
t Clarendon that should have tile drains
ir them and then covered up. Ask I
.. Mr. Tindal how profitable it is.
Mr. G. C. Beatson, who lives near i
Bloomville, set out a Zermuda pasture ,
last spring, fertilized it well, kept the i
stock off of it until the grass had
made a goo growth and would not be
injured by grazing. Several months
later he purchased a puirebred Duroc
pig or two and now he has a fine com
bination; good Eermuda pasture andt
e good hogs. *Pastures and 'livestock I
must always go together if success t
vith livestock is to be obtained. Every
- farm should have a good Bermuda
or em pet grass pasture commensu
rate with the size of the farm and ev
t ery farmer who is not doing so should I
follow Mr. Beatson's example, with
profit t" themselves.
IMessis. J. E. Davis and C. N. Sprott
attenled the purebred Duroc hog sale
at Cartersville last week vnd several
days later six fine sows and a good
1 boar arrived in Manning by express.
The fe mers near Davis Station are
to be congratulated that this fine stock
- will be kept in their neighborhood and
thus have the use of a sire of the type
purchased. Too many farmers have
not yet realized the value of purebred
s res and are u-naware of the enorm
ous loss yearly by the use (of scrub
sires. When at Davis Station drop
in and see this fine stock and you will
Igo away with a determination to own ,
,some like theni yourself.
*The scrub sirie is dloomed in thei
United States. The Umuted States De
partment of Agriculture is putting on
a campaign for "Wetter Sires-Better'
Stock." T1he sire 'is half the herd and
*more, and, therecforec ,the best an11(1
quickest way to improv'e and gr'ade <
uip yourI herd is to use pur'klhred sires.t
Every farmer anad br'eeder' should jioin <
in this movemen'It and eraicl(ate t hat
costly pest-the scrub sIre. The fol
lowing tfrmer's and~ br,,eders of Clar
end~on hav'e ailready joined in th is
campaign. ( Ior information ask

Another' essential to success in live
stock raising is fr'esh, clean water'.
Mr'. HI. B. Richardson, of Summerton,
has his troughs arranged so that all
his stock can drink clean water. Hie
has troughs about -two feet off the

FIR ODD CASES
''ederal Judge Makes Ruling on Pro
hibition Law.
OLD Olt NEW S'ATUTE?
\ttorney Raises Point That Defend
ant. Was Indicted Under Act Re
pealed by Volstead Measure.
Florence, March 16-A ruling of
mlProtance was made by Judge H1. A.
\l. Smith in the federal court here to
lay ,ailreting cases which had been
>rought up for violation of the pro
libition laws ,and as a result of thii
'uling some fifty-odd such cases have
wel continued until the next term of

The ruling followed a motion by J.

luash the indictment against J. H1.

It developed then that there were
