While the exact date of the big

of cars od any part of that section for
more than five minutes. A protest
against the enforcement^ot the ordi
nance was made by merchants who
object to the inconvenience to their
customers who are in the habit of driv-
ng up to the front of the stores to do
their shopping. A petition sighed. It
was said, by 90 per cent of the Main
street merchants was presented the
council, but no action has been taken
to date looking to a modification of the

main in force for a sufficient time to
give it a thorough tryout.
Commission Not Authorized.
S. M. Wolfe, attorney general. Is
sued an opinion in which he held that
the railroad commission of South Car
olina has no authority to regulate
contractual relations between the Au
gusta-Northern Railroad Company be
tween Ward and Saluda and^ the
American Express Company.
The railroad recently advised the
express company that the returns from
handling the express were inadequate
to meet the expenses incident to the
traffic. The express company refused
to pay the railroad a higher rate, and
declared its intention to discontinue
the express service gyer the route.
The attorney general points ont that
it is clearly within the authority of
the railroad commission to compel
the railroad and the express company
to continue the service, but has no au
thdrity in effecting the contractual
agreements between the express com
pany and the railroad as to the re
muneration to be paid the railroad for
handling the express. Mr. Wolfe ad
vlese the commission to IsMul .ah.- or
der prohibiting the express company
from discontinuing, the business be
tween the two places as previously de
termined by the company.
Binlth Wants Notice Given.
Washington. — Senator Smith of
South Carolina made a request of the
authorities here that the old plan of
allowing 30 days notice by the inter
state commerce commission before in
crease in freight rates effective be ap
plied immediately in behalf of cotton
seed linters in the South. The sKue
tlou is in such shape now, according
to what he aaid, that it Is unfair to
increase the rate on linters without
giving a reasonable time and oppor
tunity for those Interested in the mat
ter to be heard. It is probable that
Senator Smith Will be advised regard
ing this matter within the next day or
two and he will then get, 1" oommuni
cation with cotton seed and linter in
terests in the South so they may be
present at this bearing.

'Lever on Farm Board.
Washington (Special).—South Cars
'olina must shortly havs a new mem
ber of the house from the Seventh
congressional district, Representative
A. P. Lever having been nominated
for commissioner of the federal farm
loan board by the President et a sal
ary of $10,000 a year.
Ten days ago it was stated in this
correspondence that this nomination
would be made, and although there
were a few persons who were skepti
cal, there were ample facts upon*
which to base the story.
Crops to Be Planted
With Corn and Cotton
As we have repeatedly pointed out,
the business of our cultivated lands Is
to grow crops, and when they are idle
we are losing money. J*?ot .only are
we losing in the failure to secure any
crops returns from idle lands, but such
lands, because of washing and leach
ing, may be rapidly losing their most
valuable plant foods. Let us consider
Another Big Cotton Mill. •
York.—Definite steps toward the or
ganization of a new 10,000 spindle cot
ton mill were taken at a meeting of
business men in the courthouse re
cently. York people will be expected
o furgish half the capital stock of
$500,66o, assurance being given ~Tfiat
the balance can be readily obtained
’rom outside sources. Committees
were appointed to secure the neces
sary pledges and arrange other de
tails incident to Uie organization.
Much enthusiasm was manifested at
he meeting. --
jnsect Damages Cotton.
Salem, Black River.—-With heavy
rains every day or two and root lice in
many of the best fields the cotton out
look is not at all promising. Fields
that made two bales of cotton per
acre last year are so damaged by root
lice that the cotton does not show up
as well as it did just after coming up.
This condition is general in the Black
River section, though there is some
good cotton where thia pest has not
started. The acreage in corn from
hero to Wisacky presents a gratifying
Increase.
A Royal Good Tlmo.
Blythewood.—Blythewood folk are
getting ready to'give their soldier
boys a royal time on June 26. At a
called meeting of the citizens held at
the home of B. P. Hoffman, commit
tees were appointed and plans made
to entertain the returned soldiers of
the school districts of Blythewood and
Duke. <

Gone
some of the legumes and non-legumes
that may be planted in corn and cotton
at the last cultivation, to furnish reed,
to prevent washing and leaching,
and to add humus and nitrogen.
I,-—Crops to Plant in Corn
Every.tlme we see a field of corn
“laid by” without peas,,Velvet beans,
soy beans of peanuts growing In it, we
feel like some man has a poor concep
tion of his duty to his soil and to his
family’s * welfare. Any one of these
four crops may bo grown with
the returns from them in feed and
soil inprovements are many times
greater than the cost of seed and plant
ing, of these four crops, it is now too
late to plant velvet beans and peanuts,
but in very late corn soy beans maj' be
planted, cultivating them at the same
time the corn is cultivated. In all
corn not yet laid by snd in-which vel
vet beans, soy beans or peanuts are
growing v cowpeas should by all
means be planted at the last working.
Of winter crops that may be planted
in the corn, probably bur clover is the
only one it is safe to recommend for
July planting. Seed should be sowed
broadcast at the rate of eight or ten
bushels of burs per acre and covered
lightly. Wihere corn is laid by In Au
gust, in the Upper South, crimson
clover may be planted, using fifteen to
twenty pounds of seed per acre and
lightly harrowing. Oats and rye may
also be planted in the corn In August,
particularly if early^fall grazing is
desired. •
II.--Crops to Plant in Cotton.
The summer legumes are not suited
to planting with cotton, so from neces
sity we must use such winter-growing
crops as best"fit our particular condi
tions.
'Where bur clover Is to be grown, It
may well be planted in the cotton mid
dles even in July, though care should
be taken not to cover too deep. Bur
clover seed germinate slowly, and it Is
pretty generally agreed hat the soon
er after harvesting they are planted
the better. In the Upper South crim
son clover may be planted in August,
and as cotton is generally late this
year, the last cultivation will afford a
good opportunity for planting this
splendid winter legume.
Of non-legumes to plant in cotton at
the last cultivation, rye an oats are the
.best. In the Upper South these may
well be planted In August at the fast
cultivatiop, and the plan might be tried
in the Central and Lower South, part
icularly if the last cultivation comes
well along in' the month.
