Laney's bill to compell public schools in the State to use the 6ame text books. This is a proposition that The Chronicle has been agitating and fighting for for years and Is one that we believe will appeal to every fair-minded member of the Legislature when properly presented, and we kndw Senator Laney knows how to present it. 1 The placing of beef on the tariff free ' list has resulted in a vast increase s in the importation of foreign beef and 1 meat products. During October and ( November the department of agricul- * . ture reported 16,000,000 pounds of ' meat and its products were brought ( front abroad. This is more than trip- ( pie the amount imported for the 1 whole of 1912. Canada supplied 6,- 1 000,000 pounds; Argentina, 6,000,000; * P Australia $3,000,000 and Urugary 550,- * OOOtfiead * Mexico were imported. But, neveu-- ? theless, with all this addition to the J Beef supply, beef is still selling in * Cheraw at 25 cents per pound?and mighty poor quality of beef at that. 1 t ( Loss of $129,000,000 in two years by the unsuspecting public through swin- ] dling operations carried on by the use , of the United States mails has stirred | the postal authorities to a drastic j campaign against fraudlent schemers, j Wholesale use of the government's i right to deny the mailing priviledge . to persons or firms whose oiferations may be tainted with "get-rich-quick" | and other false promises in the wea- < pon to be employed. An effort to stop , this swindling by reliance upon the , criminal courts has proved ineffective according to W. H. Lamar, the attorney general for the post office department whose annual report has just been made public. ? POLLOCK & PEGCES Attorney s-nt-Law Office: Chiquola Club Building.

To protect the seed and plants from snow, frost or cold winds (which cause a > great deal of evaporation of moisture, a, cold frame (covered with tobacco j cloth or plant muslin) is built around : the bed immediately after sowing the seed To do this inclose the bed with < a frame made of boards one or two inches thick, eight or tfcn inches wide placed on edge and securely fastened at corners either by nailing strips across the corners or by driving down pegs with top extension as high as top edge of boards. Another way of ) making this frame is by using logs \ ten inches in diameter, laying them around the bed with small bank of , dirt against same to fill thoir open- ') ings As soon as the seed have been ; sown, place the plant muslin or tobacco cloth over the entire bed, let ting some rest on laths placed across < from side to side or by one lath placed in the center from one end of the bed i to the other. Make the covering tight \ so wind will not blow is off. Should ^ snow fall on the bed remove it as J soon as possible. By taking care of this cloth ii may be used two or three seasons. ' ^ Careful sowing of seed is necessary Q n order to get them evenly distrib- h jted over the entire bed. The best \ nethod of sowing is to place the i linount of seed required in a vessel g Aith about two quarts of wood ashes :> )r meal and mix well, sow evenly G Aith regular sweeping movement of & he hand, holding hand near the g ground. The ashes or meal will show Q ust where the seed have been sown, s iVhen seed are sown, sprinkle the led to iirm the earth or the bed may jj ie firmed by laying down a board and q standing on it, turning the board over <! ind over until the entire bod has been ? covered. As soon as you have done G his, cover the bed with tl<? tobacco ? doth and leave alone until about feu ^ lays before transplanting when the g 'over should be turned back about ( i-? nook ,lov for nil hnnr ii lie llliuuie i/l uav.ii uuj AW. ,, or two or ?|<rce days, then increase 5 he time of exposure by an hour oy e wo each day until two or three days jj mforf "g. J ihould be left off entfrely^o" narden )lants so they will stand exposure n the field. In Virginia and the Carolinas seed * ieds are sown from January 1 *i hrough February, the time being gov >rned by weather conditions. Beds ire usually planted at least two nonths before date of last killing 'rost in the locality. Average date of 1 ast killing frost in spring at Raleigh 1 s March 20; about Charlotte, April 1; ? Petersburg, Va., April Lynchburg, f ^a., April 11; Columbia, S. C., March 2 I. c Attention should be called to the fact that frosts in the fall are very i in'minns tn tohaeeo. therefore, you 1 should grow the crop as early in the I spring and summer as possible. t I WHAT LEGISLATIVE IS 1)01 Mi 1 i Continued from page I. pervisors to use convicts from the 1 State penitentiary, sentenced from 1 their counties, on the county roads, passed the senate and was ordered 1 sent to the house.
