i AS AMERICAN RACE.
Evidences of a Higher Civilization
Found in Ohio.
There can be little doubt that there
, existed in this country ? centuries ago,
a race of people who attained a state
ot civilization far in advance of the
Indians wh0 were the inhabitants of
the country when the white man first
came here.
The first evidence of such a race
whs the discovery, in various sections
of the country, of thousands 0f oddlyformed
mounds or hillocks. These
had long passed as ordinary formations
of the soil, until it was : oticed
that they were moulded in strange
shapes, such as dragons, buffaloes,
lizards, crocodiles, turtles and other
animal forms. Some were shaped like
forto cfill nthura ufppm in srpnmetriral '
patterns. One single mound in Ohio
is shaped in a circle and is more than
five thousand feet in circumference.
On investigation they proved to contain
strange copper utensils, pottery i
and human bones and skulls.
Something may be judged of the age
of these mounds by the fact that some
? of them are covered with trees cen-,
turies old. The bones taken from
them crumble upon exposure to thej
air, and as bones twenty centuries
old have been found intact and strong
scientists have placed the age of construction
of the mounds as over two
? thousand years.
The race that left these monuments
must have been a highly intelligent
one. Copper and bronze implements
of war and utensils found in
them show great ingenuity in their
construction. The workmanship on thp
metal instruments show considerable
skill at the forge.
The 'act that the American Indians
were a roving race, making their living
by hunting and fishing, and never
dwelling long in one place, seems
ample proof that they never could
Have constructed tnese strange
mounds, some of which are of such
great extent as to indicate that they
served for some time as the burial
place of a community. The skulls, too,
are not shaped in the slightest like
the Indian skull.
There have been found in the Lake
Superior region prehistoric mines in
one of which was a great mass of
copper weighing eight tons, raised
on a platform and ready for lifting
out of the mine.
Who, then, were these warlike
people whose industry shows that
they possessed a fair degree of education?
When came they, and where
did they go? This, probably, we never
shall know.
Many explanations are offered with
sufficient foundation to be convincIing.
The idea has even been advanced
that they were the lost tribes of
Israel. The fact that the skulls closely
resemble those of Egyptian races
has led many scientists to conclude
hat thpir origin was in EeVDt. but
we cannot be certain. All we know J

is that the great race lived, flourished
and was suddenly wiped out from
the continent, whether by a great
pestilence or by hordes of savages, or
some other cause.
The mounds which form such an interesting
source of study to the antiquarian
are scattered from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, and from the
Gulf to the Great Lakes. Those in the
Mississippi Valley and especially
through Kansas and Arkansis, are
by far the most numerous aud interesting.
o
Velvet Beans, the Most Vigorous of
aU Annual Legumed.
1. The velvet bean is the most
Vigorous growing uunuai icfeumc VU?tivated
in the United States.
2. As velvet beans are very susceptible
to cool weather, they should
not be planted until the soil has become
warm.
3. Plant velvet beans with corn.
They may be planter in the same
row with the corn or in separate
rows. Two rows of corn to one of
velvet beans is the most popular
method of planting. Plant the beans
when the corn is about two feet high.
The yield of corn may be decreased
slightly by the beans but the value of
the beans for green manure and feeding
purposes will be much greater
than the loss to the corn crop.
4. The velvet bean is adapted to
North and South Carolina soils and
produces satisfactory yields of 20 to
50 bushels of shelled beans per acre.
The usual yield of velvet beans in the
pods is from one half to one ton per
acre.
The velvet bean is a splendid soil
improving legume. It produces a vast
amount of leaves and vines which
add both humus and fertily to the
soil.
6. An acre of good velvet bean
vines when plowed under will add as
much amonia to the soil as will ar

seed meal.
The velvet bean is an important
protein feed for the production of beef
and dairy products and furnishes excellent
winter foraging for cattle.
8. From two to two and one half
pounds of velvet beans in the pod will
be found equal for milk production
to one pound of bright cotton seed 1
meal.
9. The most important use of the ]
velvet bean is as a grazing crop for j
cattle and hogs in the autumn and ]
winter. i

varieties, planting, soil renovation, ]

Successful Guernsey Sale and Show'
at Darlington.
Clemson College, April 2.?The
Southeastern Guernsey Breeders' Association
held its first annual sale
of purebred Guernsey cattle at Darlington,
Saturday, March 20th. Thirty-two
registered Guernseys were sold
for an average of $425.00 per head.
The highest priced animal was an
eight months old heifer which sold
for $1250 to K. M. James, Darlington,
S. C. Only four head of the
thirty two sold were purchased by
parties outside of South Carolina.
Darlington county breeders consigned
16 head to the sale and the farmers
of that county purchased 18 head
at the sale. Eight farmers of Darlingtnn
nminti* n> K /t V* r% rl nnifn?
iuu v. u u 111 *> itu iiau iicyci u ? acu
purebred Guernseys purchased one or
more animals.
In connection with the sale the
Darlington Purebred Associatio,, held
a show of Guernsey cattle at which
53 animals were exhibited. The prizes
were awarded by Prof. W. H. Howell
of the University of Georgia, Athens,
Ga. At noon the association furnished
a free lunch to the 400 farmers 1
present.
"This sale and show" says J. P.
LaMaster, Extension Service Dairy 1
Husbandman, who helped the Darling- '<
ton Purebred Association with the
details of the show, "was a marked
success and certainnly stimulated the '
desire for better cattle in that part
of the state.''

The State.
The new statewide dog license act
as an instrument of confusion and
misinterpretation stands second only
in the pension act, both passed by the '
recent general assembly.
The dog tax law, levying $1.25 on
each dog, becomes effective January '
1, 1921. Acting under the presump- '
ton that this was now in force, county
treasurers are reported to be already
procuring a supply of 1920 license J
tags. Information to this effect has .
been received at the office of Comptroller
General Osborne.
Another angle of interest Is that
municipalities are seemingly not prohibited
from laying an additional
license under this act. The language
of the statute is: "This (statewide!
lax shall be exclusive of all other \
license, either municipal or otherwise.''
Mr. Osborne's opinion is that the
correct interpretation would be that
"exclusive of" implied "in addition
to" municipal or other taxes. He will
ask the attorney general for a ruling
on this issue. Acting under the impression
that the new act prohibited
the collection of municipal dog license
taxes. G. Flavie Cooper, citv
treasurer of Columbia was not expec*

A still further argument has bee.
raised. Failure to pay the tax is a
misdemeanor, punishable by a fine < ..
not less than $5 nor more than $2o
The comptroller general thinks tha. |
the dog tax would necessarily have to i
be paid between October 15 and De-'
cember 31, 1921; otherwise the owner
of the dog would be guilty of a
misdemeanor instead of being liable
to the usual delinquent tax penalties.
The law says the dog tax shall be
paid "as other taxes are paid,'' but
makes failure to pay a misdemeanor.
o
S. n WOMKV AfAV VOTK
According to the opinion of Attorney
General Samuel Wolf South Carolina
women will be entitled to vote
in the general election this year. Mr.
Wolf says the poll tax qualification
does not bar women voters because
they law does not levy poll against
them. There will have to be slight
changes made in the rules of the
Democratic party if they are allowed
to vote in the primaries. The State
Convention will be held on May 19th
and it is understood that an effort
will be made to amend the rules of
the party in order to allow women to
vote in the primaries.

SMOKING TOBACCO i
FACTS FROM THE
ENCYCLOPAEDIA
The Use of Flavorings Determines
Difference In Brands
The Encyclopaedia Britannica says
about the manufacture of smoking tobacco:
"... on the Continent and in
America, certain 'sauces' are employed
.. .the use of the 'sauces' is to improve
the flavour and burning qualities of the
leaves." Which indicates that a smoker's
enjoyment depends as much upon the
flavoring used as upon the tobacco.
Your nose is a sure guide in the matter
of flavorings. Try this simple test
with several tobacco brands: pour some
tobacco into your palm, rub briskly,
and smell. You will notice a distinct
difference in the fragrance of every
brand. The tobacco that smells best to
you will smoke best in your pipe, you
can rest assured. ?
