if^consistant, as in one place it lays the
>$bune and^burden on the legislative
delegation that failed to make the
Jsame appropriation for the linlv in
?: the Lexington county road from Irrno
|f to the Richlahd county line beyond
Leapharts, as it did for the link in

? via Chapin, to the Lexington line near

y- It says; since the highway is hopeless,
yC "YOU gentlemen representing our
county live \ on a highway and have

- you arouse from your slumber and
$ give- the Fork her honest needs, that
is , a bridge at Hope's Ferry." It is
claimed that promises to build this
|j bridge have been numerous, and I am
not denying that they have, but as a
? member of the rresent legislative
delegation, I want to say here and
now that no such promise has ever
been made by me.
. I will not undertake any defense
f of the accusations thrust upon the
ex-legislative .delegation. But it appears
'to the writer that what the
Doctor is calling on the present delegation
for; is to right a wrong or sin
* *
comihitted by our predecessors in office.
Speaking ?br myself, I will say,
that not to correct any sin that my
predecessors in office may have committed,
but for the need and convenience
of such a bridge to the people
of the Fork, I would like to see the
bridge constructed. And if I am a
member of the legislature when times
are better than they are at present
and the burden for the expense of
such a bridge will not be felt so hard,
I. will give all my efforts towards such,
an appropriation.
Getting back now to the road proposition,

with the facts in the case, which ap- i
\parently he was not, or he should not :
have written his article. As soon as
the course of the Richland county
paved road was known to the present 1
delegation we met with representative
citizens of Irmo and our supervisor,
in the Richland county high- >
way commissioners' office in Colum- :
bia, with the Richland delegation and
1
the highway commissioners for the '
flatter county. The object of this
meeting was to see if there was any
possible way of getting this paved road
to come through Irmo. As soon
as the situation was explained to me
by a member of the Richland dele- 1
gation, I saw at once that nothing
could be done and had I known the
circumstances surrounding the case, I
would not have been a party to the 1
crowd asking that such a change be
made.
In the first place, Richland county
surveyed off four main highways
through the county and submitted
them to the voters, as to whether or
not they would vote on bonds sufficient
to build these roads as per the
surveys. The voters said that with a
guarantee that the roads would be
built as and where surveyed, that
they would foot the bill. Now, if
jthis particular road had been surj
veyed partly through Lexington coun- x
j ty, it is doubtful if the Richland vot,
ers would have any bonds at all toward
the construction of their portion
of said road and NOBODY would
have a good road. Do you, Dr. Mathias,
think it would have been fait
to the Richland voters to have changed
the course of this highway, after
j the voters had said by their votes
J where it should go? I do pot; such
is not my idea of fairness to the vot- ^
ers of any county.
| As it is, the pjaved road will run
f within three miles of Irmo and will
built at Richland county's expense,
j Our commttee at the above mentioned
meeting got our Supervisor to j
agree to take the chain gang and |
build the Irmo people a good road j
from Irmo to the paved highway in
both directions from town, making I
i
about six miles of dirt road to con- j
nect Irmo, in first class style with the
paved highway, where she would be
only a few minutes distance from Columbia.
A road to the city that will
be much better than our Plum over j
on this side and one for whcih I j'
'would gladly swap any day. Thispromise

REVIEWING THE DAY'S NEWS.*
London, Aug. 26.?Lloyd George,
replying to the refusal of a dominion
government by the Irish Republic, offers
to leave the door open for further
negotiations but flatly refuses its
demand for absolute freedom.
Washington, Aug. 26.?Liquors
valued at $1,000,000, which were
seized and put in storage by the government
have been ordered disposed
of by Prohibition Commissioner
Kaynes.
Liquor, such as moonshine, adulterated
and low proof liquor having
no commercial value should be destroyed,
while the higher proof of
unadulterated liquors should be diverted
to commercial, but nonbever'age
use, the'commissioner states.
Washington. Aug. 26.?The ratifi
cation of the German Peace Treaty is
not expected to meet with serious opposition.
It is quite likely that immediately
following ratification the
American forces now in Germany will
be returned to the States.
Columbia, Aug. 2*. The Supreme
'Court granted a new trial in favor of
Kenneth Gossett, who was sentenced
to serve 40 years for criminal assault.
The opinion was written by Associate
Justice Cothran, and the ruling of the
\
court was founded in the fact that accused
was not accorded a fair and
impartial trial. Gosset was convicted
at Abbeville in the spring of last
year.
Hull, Eng., Aug. 26.?Work on the
wreckage of the fatal airship ZR-2 is
still going on at a rapid rate with the
hope of being able to extricate the
, missing members of the crew. Two
'more bodies were discovered today,
I those of Albert L. Loftin, an Amerifca-n
mechanic, and Flgiht Sergeant A.
'P. Martin of the British crew.
Columbia, Aug. 27.?The Columbia
Chamber of Commerce is beginning a
strenuous fight to locate one of the
/fouf Vocational educational schools at
iCamp Jackson The campaign is also
ho include the conversion of the camp
Snto a permanent heavy artillery post.
Senator Dial, Senator Smith and Con1
gressman H. P. Fulmer are exerting
all efforts towards this end.
Columbia. Aug. 27.?Indications are
"that the building and loan drive will
be carried into next week instead of
ending today as scheduled.
FODDER PULLIXG NOT
PRACTICED BY BEST FARMERS
Clemxon College. July 30.?The old
practice of pulling1 fodder is not followed
by the best farmers any mon
They have come to realize that- fodder
is the most expensive form of for-?
age which they can raise on the farm
and have begun to raise t-owpeas,
soybeans, sorghum and other things
for forage, and to leave their corn
alone until matured. They have stopped
this practice because they have
found it to be, not only a hot. dirty
piece of work, but also that it reduces
the yield of corn so greatly that they
can not afford to do it.
Several different experiment stations
have carefully tested the matter
and have found that pulling the
fodder reduces the yield of ear corn
by 10 to 12 per cent, says Prof. C.
P. Blackwen, agronomist. This loss
amounts to 3 bushels per acre on the,
average. Frequently the loss to ear
corn is worth as much as the fodder
saved and the farmer has had his
work for nothing.
The leaf is the factory of the corn
plant where the raw materials which
are taken from the soil and the air
are united by the energy of the sun
to form starch, oil, proteins, and fats
for the growth of the entire plant
and especially for storage in the ear.
As the leaf dries out, these foods are
transferred, in a large measure, from
the leaf to the ear. If the leaf is
pulled before it is thoroughly dry, j
this transfer can not take place and
the result is a loss to the ear. It is
because of this loss that the more
progressive farmers no longer depend
on fodder as a forage for livestock.
but use instead cowpeas, soybeans,
velvet beans, sorghum, or some
other source. Most of these are not
only much cheaper forage but also
better.
Let us hope that it will not be long
until "fodder pulling" will be a relic
of the past.

GOING IT ALONE IN'
THE ENGLISH CHANNEL
?
Only two men have swum the English
Channel, and av young American
wishes to be the third. Henry F. Sullivan,
of Lowell, Mass., has already
made three attempts to cross under
his own power, and was within two
and a half miles of the French coast
before it was necessary to take him in
tow and pull him in. Undaunted by
these thrilling experiences?for the
Channel is always rough?Sullivan is
going to try again this summer, says
a writer in the Boston Herald: and
this time, he believes, he will touch
foot on French bottom without leaving
the water. His first effort was in
1913, when ho started from North
Foreland. He was in the water ten
hours, and traveled about thirty-five
mile? in all, including the drifts and
tides which carried him up artd down
the Channel. On this occasion he
was within five miles of the French
coast before he had to be taken into
the pilot-boat. He found the water
conditions, and the temperature very
much against him. Notwithstanding,
says the writer?
In 1914 he went over again and was
in readiness to set out from Dover,
England, when the world-war broke,
and that place and the Channel was
made so unsafe for swimming that
the try had to be given up. In 1920

he went over again and '.made two
tries. On the first he1 was in the
water over nineteen hours and came
within three and one-half miles of
the French coast, and on the second
occasion he was in the water over
eighteen hours and was within two
and one-half miles of France when
the pilot ordered hhvt to quit. On both
the latter tries the condition of the
water and the weather were most
trying, but it was only after he had
hattled the elements for more than
seven hours and made not the slightest
headway that he decided to give
it up as hopeless.
And now he comes along again with
the same objective in view. He is
going over this time and will benefit
by his previous experiences, which he
believes should help him to a marked
degree. It is only under certain conditions
that the swim is possible?
favorable weather and a combination
of tides that will work' to his advantage
rather than his disadvantage.
These conditions occasionally pre^
vail, but not for long. During the
latter part of August and early in
September is the best time of the
year, and even then it's only by
chance that one finds the water and
weather favorable for any length oe
time. On each occasion when he
swims under the colors of the Catholic
Young Men's Lyceum of Lowell.
