What South Carolina Democrats Swear SfKM-In 1 attention Is called t?> the fact that there can lie no such tiling as a h\hricl Democrat in South Carolina, that is to say a man who claims to lie a Democrat in State and county politics and yet announces himself a national Republican. Rule .is of the Democratic party of South Carolina reads as follows: "The managers of each box at the primary shall require every voter to pledge himself to abide by the results of the primary, and to support the nominees of the party, and to take the following oath and pledge, viz: T do solemnly swear that I am a resi-1 dent of this club district, and am duly qualified to vote at this election ac- i i;n.r t,, f)?i rules of the Democra- | tic party, ami that I have not voted before at this election, and pledge myself to support the nominees of the party. State and national." The man of conscience who voted in the recent Democratic primaries is under ironclad agreement to vote on Nov. 7 for presidential electors pledged to Woodrow Wilson and Thomas R. Marshall. Progressing in Chesterfield. Efforts to bring a 1 milt by the consolidation of rural schools in the sand hill region, the establishment of a high school in Chesterfield county, in which agriculture will be taught, should have encouragement and should he successful. Chesterfield is a " white man's country," a county that 4> for a long time was backward but that in lute years has made more rapid progress than most of the counties of South Carolina. It contains great numbers of independent farmers irtrn fr'jliV'yiri- nanll. miiLllrit is the class or people wlio aboveajl otnT ers coutrbute to'staunch aud eullghtened citizenship and prosperity. These farmers of Chesterfield are taking an eager interest in educational movements and the establishment of an agricultural high school would markedly accelerate the progress that they are making. The school would he a radiating point for inte'ligent endeavors in agriculture and with skilled tiling' the ImiiiIs of Chesterfield will make one of tli?* most productive re- 1 nf S'Mith Carol in.?Columbia State. All that is said in the above para graph is strictly true ami to the point, iiinl although the proposition for the establishment of a high sclmol in Chesterliehl e?niiity is approai'heil from a different angle. it is still jnst the Imposition that 'llie Chronicle pro posi i several years ago ami which at the time hail the umiualilicd endorseiii -tit of the late Hon. \V.

S w W and Rich Foods Mixed Clemson ffollfA^rBeef cattle may -p?- kept-b rvt liuwpe by feeding rougir foods mixed with rich food9; and, in the spring they will be in condition to put on good grains from pasture. Straw and shock corn can be used in South Carolina in this way, so don't allow the straw to become damaged, and plan to use the shocked com. The following rations are suggested for wintering breeding cows: Ration 1: Lbs. Straw 10 Silage 20 Cottonseed meal or linseed meal 1*4 Ration 2: Lbs. Straw 20 Cottonseed cake or oil cake 2 Ration 3: Lbs. Straw 10 Shock corn 10 Cottonseed meal 1 Cattle bought in the fall and kept over winter in this way might cost lees than would have to be paid for them in the spring, and the farmer would have more manure to put on hie crops. SOUTH CAROLINA MOVES UP Food Crop6 in This State Have Increased in Value $27,000,000 During the Past Five Years. In the census year, more than twothirds of the total ? rap values in South Carolina were produced by cotton alone, and her bill fi r imported food supplies was $95,000,000. The same vear her cotton and cotton seed were worth $90.380.000?or Just a little more than her pantry and farm supply bill. For long years the state has been buying staple food supplies with cot'on mor.ey; but in 1910 the per capita ami wealth of h^r country population was only $337. against $995 in the Unied States, $829 in Oklahoma and 3,F.::9 in I~v:o. bcth of which are food nr; du< lug states, with surpluses to na-l:et abroad. A Twenty-Seven Million Increase. Cut last year was epoch-making in 8cith Carolina. Recent reports of the "ederal Agricultural Department shot' rhr.t the state has gained $5,574,000 in 'ivssiock and $21,848 000 in food crops ilnre the census year?a total gain of ?27.000.000 in five years. On January 1, 1916, the farmers own n 14 " more niucn cows una inner atfle than in 1910, nearly 20,000 more horses and mules, and 252,000 more swine. The sis-year increases in food crops were as follows: hay and forage 99.000 *ons or 54 per cent: potatoes, 2.000.000 ' ashcls or 51 per cent; oats, 4,229.000 bushels or 74 per cent; corn. 14.686,000 bushels or 70 per cent; wheat, 2,119, 000 bushels or 682 per cent.
