Hard Winter Means Good Crops, j s
The agricultural experts of the 1
national department of agricul- J
ture are of the opinion that the i
farmers of the country will he '<
blessed with big crops in 1914. ; 1
They say that the prospects at j1
this time are particularly bright (
as the result of the almost con-;'
tinuous succession of snowstorms !
over the country, and figure that 1
the longer the snow blanket lin- 1
gers, the more grows the assurance
of big crops of corn and '
wheat, better vegetables and |
fruit, more stock, feed and con-11
sequently lower prices. (
"If this snow blanket will only '
take its time in departing," said '
one of the officials of the bureau <
of soils, "we will have a better '
crop start this year than for !

Parcel Post More Helpful. ;1
A change has been made in
the rules governing the parcel
post that is expected to result in
a much larger use of the mails :
by farmers.
Postmaster General Burleson i
has announced that hereafter
butter, eggs, fruits, berries,
vegetables, dressed poultry and ,
other articles entering the par-!
eel post running from twenty to .
fifty pounds in weight may be
packed in boxes and crates si mi-;
lar to those used when shipment
is made by express. Under the
new rule farm products such as
those enumerated will not be
put in mail bags. Packages of
these articles weighing twenty j
j pounds or less are required as
i heretofore to be packed in such
manner as to be safely handled
i in bags with other mail matter.
Outlaws the Carnivals.
There are to be no more carnival
shows in Rowan county,
N. ('., of which Salisbury is the
county seat, according to an order
issued by the board of commissioners
of that county a few
days ago which forbids the sher-1
iff to issue any license to any
carnival or show of this class.
ta 1 - - '
n was snown tnat two carnivals
had secured permission to show, :
one in Spencer and another about
half-way between Spencer and
Salisbury. The action of the!
county board was taken, it was
said, in deference to a petition
of a large number of business j
men asking that no carnival be
allowed.
Fertilizer Sales Break Record.
A record for the sale of fertilizer
has been made in South
j Carolina this year, according to
i a statement from the office of
i the State treasurer Saturday.
Farmers of the State, since
.January 1, have purchased more
I than 844,000 tons of fertilizer.
The previous record was in 1911,
. when on March 21, the farmers
i had purchased 824,000 tons.
There is a tax of 25 cents a
ton on all fertilizer, which goes
for the support of Clemson col- j
lege.

WILL MEET THE PEOPLE
REGARDLESS OF RULINGS
Governor Cole. L. Blease Satirday
in an interview with a
Columbia newspaper correspondent
registered a kick against the
proposed abolishing of the county-to-county
canvass during the
summer campaign and declared
that if the county-to-county meetings
are not arranged by the
State executive committee he
will arrange his own itinerary. !
"I have made several countyto-county
Siate campaigns," said
Governor Blease, "and I think
some of them, at least, it will be |
admitted, have been just about
as strenuous, and under just
as warm circumstances and in
just about as hot weather, as any
ather man has undergone or will
ever undergo, and I have never
seen one which was any special
hardship, and oven if such a
campaign is some little hardship
an the candidates, it is certainly
:he only way to reach the peoale,
and the people are not going
:o submit to its being abolished.
"However, if those in control
were to be so foolish as to ahol'
A i ?. . ?"? . * *
isn it, mat would not interrere j
with my plans in the least, 1
would simply arrange an itinerary
of my own, just as the State
executive committee does now, i
and have it published as paid
advertising as I presume that
would he the only way I could !
?et it in most of the newspapers.
[ would also forward it to my
campaign manager at each county
seat, and have him to announce
that I would he at his
county seat on a certain day to
deliver an address, and those
who wanted to come to hear me
could come, just as they do now, j
under the present ruling, and
those who did not want to come
could stay away, just as they do
now. under the present rules,
and in this way I would go to
every county seat in South Carolina
this summer, on my own initiative,
regardless of what the
State executive committe or anybody
else might do. And I would
send a polite invitation to each
[>f the candidates who might he
in the race for United States senator,
and invite them to meet me
at the county seat of each county i
on the day that I would be cres-1
ent. and offer to divide time with '
them in the discussion of the is-1
sues. Of course, if they declined
which I have no idea
they would do ?1 would simply
go on, and deliver my speech.
I propose to go before the people
and tell them what I have done,
and why I have done it, and no
crowd of political ringsters can
keep me away from the people."
The County Home.
It is quite probable that there
will he a new county home before
the end of the present year,
and if so it will be sufficient to
answer every reasonable purpose.
There is now in the county
treasury the sum of $4,500 intended
for use on the proposed
new building, and the county
hoard of commissioners is authorized
to borrow $16,000 more,
making $20,500 in all.
According to the present notion
of the county commissioners
the best thing to do is to sell all
of the county home farm except
sixty acres and build the new
home on the sixty acres reserved.
?Yorkville Enquirer.
Gary Nay Run for Senate.
rri. _ i_i.li i ? *
i ne uuesi ponucai rumor
around Columbia is that Judge
Frank B. Gary of Abbeville will
make the race for the United
States Senate. It is understood
that Judge Gary has been urged
by some of his friends to enter
the contest and that he has received
many assurances of support.
He was in the United
States Senate for a short time
just prior to the nomination of
Senator E. 1). Smith.
At that time Judge Gary accepted
the senatorship at the
hands of the General Assembly
with the understanding that he
was not to enter the race for the
long term. John Gary Evans,
who is now being mentioned as
possibility in the present contest,
ran for the longer term
and was defeated by E. D.
Smith. It is stated here that if
Judge Gary runs, John Gary
Evans will not run and vice
versa.

General Assembly, was struck
and almost instantly killed by
an automobile on the main street
of Columbia Saturday night
about 7 o'clock. The automobile
which caused Mr. Youmans'
death was being driven by Harry
Davis, owner of a garage in
Columbia.
Mr. Youmans had just stepped
from behind a hack, in an attempt
to cross the street, when
he was struck by the heavy machine.
The force of the collission
and his subsequent fall to
the ground caused the unfortunate
man to sustain a compound
fracture of the skull, and he
died without ever knowing what
struck him.
Davis, the driver of the automobile,
immediately surrendered
to the police.
Last Crop a "Bumper."
One of the largest cotton crops
ever grown, amounting to 14,117,350
equivalent 500-pound
bales of lint and 039,705 equivalent
500-pound bales of linters,
was produced by the farmers of
the United States during 1913,
the census bureau annonunced
Friday in its preliminary report
of cotton ginned as reported by
ginners and debaters to February
23.

bales of lint and 009,594 bales of
; linters last year, and 15,092,701
bales of lint and 557,575 bales x>f

at 13,077,000 equivalent 500nound
hales.

Residence of J. T. Yoi
Reception for Bride and Groom.
One of the most enjoyable affairs
of the season was the
reception given Friday night by
Mr. and Mrs. ,1. H. McMurray
in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence
S. McMurray, whose marriage
occurred in Rock Hill on
Wednesday of last week. The
scene of the reception was the
old White residence, just north

dence, the home of the groom's
| parents, always an attractive
place, was made doubly so for
this occasion by a profusion of
floral decorations, varying in the
different rooms.
The guests were received in
the hall by Mr. and Mrs. ,1. II.
McMurray, assisted by a number
of their friends, and here punch
was served by Misses Isabel
and Dora Crier. The guests
were then ushered into the
spacions dining room, where
they were received by Mrs.
Azilee Harris and Miss Klla
Stewart and a salad course, followed
by cofFee and mints, was
served by Misses Esther McMurrav
and Isnhnl Mmsbpv
A large number of the relatives
and friends of the bride
and groom attended the reception.

reports that former Governor]

I ter the senatorial race. Senator
E. D. Smith said to a News and
Courier correspondent:
"It is the right of any white j
citizen to aspire to any ollice in
the gift of the people if he sees
fit. I do not consider that I have
the right to encourage or discourage
any one's candidacy. I
am looking after mv own affairs."

"The Shadow of Nazareth."
For months Christ had been
preaching to the multitudes,
healing their afflictions and gaining
converts to His Cause. One
after another. His disciples had
been chosen until there were
twelve, including the traitor.
Judas Iscariot. Barabbas was
arrested for the murder of
Gabrias, who sneered at Judith, i
whom Barabbas loved. He was
imprisoned by Pilate at the command
of Caiaphas, who also
loved Judith. Later Judith, to
satisfy her lover Caiaphas. per-!
suaded Judas to betray the!
Master. Pilate washed his
hands of the affair and Christ
was crucified. The people cried
aloud for the release of Barab
bas and Pilate obeyed and set
him free. Ba rah bas, having
looked upon the face of the
Master, was shaken with fear.
With Judith, he went to the hill
and beheld the sign of the
Cross in the heavens. Judas
the traitor, hanged himself.
When Judith viewed his body
she became insane from grief
and terror. Seeking out her
lover Caiaphas. she stabbed him
and then turned the dagger upon
herself.
This sublime production will
be produced in three parts at
the Majestic Theatre Thursday,
March 26, and doubtless will be
seen and appreciated by both old
and young.
