C., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28, 1920 No 17 WOOD LEADING IN NEW JERSEY fIGHT Democratic "Big Four" Headed by Governor Edwards Elected Governor Cox Unopposed in Home State. Newark, April 28.-Returns from 1,115 out of 2,005 election districts in New "Jersey's presidential prefer ence primary this morning placed Ma jor. Gen. Leonard Wood slightly in the lead over Senator Hiram John son, of California. The vote was: Johnson, 24,163; Wood, 25,320. In the fight for the Republican "big jur" returns from 540 districts howed that United States Senators Walter E. Edge and Joseph S. Freling huysen, pledged to the choice of voters as expressed at the -primary, were running a close race for the head of tb ticket, with former Governoi- Ed ward S. Stokes pledged to Gen. Wood, and Mulford L. Ballard, pledged to Senator Johnson, 'following in that order. Isaac H. Nutter and Sylvester L. Corrothers, unpledged negro candi dates, apparently were out of the run ning'as candidates for delegates at large with only 2,022 and 1,668 vot/s, respectively. They said they entered the contest because the Republican State organization refused their race a representative on the 'regular slate.' The Democratic "big four," pledged to tte candidacy of Gov. Edward I. Edwards, who has announced that he would carry his fight against prohibi tion into the San Francisco conven tion, was elected without opposition. It consists of Governor Edwards, James R. Nugent, Essex County Deni ocratic leader, who was a candidate for the gubernatorial nomination against Edwards; Mayor Fronk Hague of Jersey City, and Mayor Frederick W. Donnelly, of Trenton. Democratic voters were not asked to express any direct presidential preference, no presidential candidates' names being printed on the ballot. There were three Democratic districts contests but they were purely local in character and had not bearing on the presidential situation. Close Race in Ohio. Columbus, Ohio, April 27.-Returns from 2,475 precincts out of 5,882 in Ohio, or nearly half of the State gave: Harding 51,897 and Wood 47,817. Out of this number 1,528 precincts gave: Johnson 4,725 and Hoover 4,546. Both Johnson and Hoover polled votes in almost every section of the State, although their names were not printed on the ballots. The Democratic vote was unusually light, as there were no contests on that ticket for President. Governor Cox, of Ohio, was the only candidate andl all Democratic candidates for del *egates to the national convention were pledged to him. However, a few Mc Adoo votes were written in on the ballots. Senator Lodge Leading. Boston, April 27.-Tfhe completion of retur-ns from more than half the State in today's primary indlicatedl the p~robable election as dlelegates at large on the Republican ticket of Senator Lodge, Speaker Gillctt, of the national House of Representatives, former Sen ator Crance and Edward A. Thur-ston These four all unpledged to any Presi dlential candlidate, were grouped at the head of the ticket. Former Lieut. Gov. Forthingham, who has declared for Gen. Wood for President, with Herbert Hfoover as a secondl choice, was running in fifth place Former Goy. McCall, who has e nnouncedl himself in favor of Hoover, was sixth and Congressman Fuller, an out-and-out Wood man seventh. Thomas W. Lawson was far behind Fuller and Russell A. Wood was last. On the Democratic ticket, the "reg ular" slate, headed by Senator Walsh, appeared assured of election, as for -mer Congressman O'Connell, the fifth candlidate was far behind the -other four.,* Senator Walsh's associates are Richard H. Long, twice D~emocratic nomirtee for Goyernor; District Attor ney P'elletier and Daniel F. Doherty. Early returns showed the election of 115 unpledged (delegates, including Sthose at large, to the Republican na tiona1 cnvention. BRADHAM DUROC FARM BUYS FINE DUROC BOAR Mr.. J. I. Bradham, of Bradham Duioc Farm, of Manning, South C.1-c lina, just recently returned from a trip up through Ohio, where he pur chased dne of the greatest Duroc sires of the famous Ira Jackson herd, at Tippecanoe City. Mr. Bradham is one of the live wire Duroc breeders of South Carolina, who during the past few years has been developing a magnificent herd of an extremely popular combination of blood lines, which is winning for Bradham Duroc Farm an enviable rep utation. When Mr. Bradham went out to buy a boar whose type, individuality and breeding would blend well with his herd and another great individual, Fancy Orion Chief whom he has been using, there is no question but what he secured the last w - d in Duroc breeding when he bought Jack's Friend 7th to head one of the great Duroc herds of the Southeast. Jack's Friend 7th was the first prize under year boar pig at the 1918 In ternational Live Stock Show and was fourth in class ps a senior yearling at the National Swine Show last year. He is of the big husky type that is being demanded by the most descrim inating breeders. He is an Orion Cherry King boar on tho dam side and was sired by Col. Jack, he by Walt's Top Col., giving this boar a combina tion of blood lines that cannot be beat. Ira Jackson said there was never a better breeding boar shipped across the Ohio River, and we believe he ac tually thinks, so, for the reason that in his last sale, Jack's Friend 7th was mated to a number of his very best female individuals. The yearling gilts bred to Jack's Friend 7th, sold in Jackson's sale for $3500 and the next one sold for $2000 bred to the same boar. In fact, most all of the tops in this sale were bred to this great individual. In commenting on this boar Ira Jackson had the following to say con cerning him: "It is a noted fact that all really good boars are the produce of good( dams. I do not need to tell you what Orion Cherry King sows are Jike. From a very close analysis of this breeding, I would say, here is the place to get your big outstanding sows. Col. Jack was by Walt's Top Col., one of the best show sires known to the breed and Mortin's Top Col. was one of the greatest Duroc boars of his (lay. Jack's Friend 7th has a wonderful bone, very tall and rangy with a beautiful rainbow back and in our opinion he will impart great length and stretch to his get. You cannot find a better breeding boar anywhere and the cross is ideal." Watch 'le Farmer and Stockman for the picture of this great boar as well as the announcement of the Brad ham Duroc Farm summer sale, as there is no question but what this great sire will be frequently heard from among the best Duroc herds in the Southeast. CIVIC LEAGUJE NOTES Thle second week in May will be clean up week, wvith a thorough in spection of all premnises by one of the towvn officials.

Tie Carolina Stock Farms have planted eight hundred acres with les pedeza and two kinds of grasses re commended by C. V. Piper, Agrostolo gist of the U. S. Department of Agri culture, who spent several days at the Carolina Stock Farms sometime ago investigating soil conditions to find what grasses were best adapted to their conditions. I am not sure but. I think the grasses planted were Large Water grass, Paspalum dilata tum, and Carpet grass, Paspalum com pressum, both being native southern grasses. Mrs. F. P). Ervin has a fine plat of vetch growing on Sunnyside Farm. eVtch should be more generally plant ed in Clarendon for it is a winter legume and enriches the soil just as do cowpeas and velvet beans, furnishes fine grazing, and if planted with oats can he made into a very goodl hay if cut when the oat grans are in tle (tough' stage.
