Houth Carolina hub Just paused through oho of the moat exciting elections held In many years. In Kershaw county Interest ran high and the* Uuee were tightly drawn as to the Governor's race. While thin wuh wrong It wan due to the extreme Interest the voter* had in their particular candidate. Why ahould a man's fitness for office he Judged by the man he favors for office? Upou more sober reflection this idea will appear foolish. In Kershaw county everybody be haved very Well, but we sincerely hope that if there was any II) feel ing engendered they will be for gotten. If your candidate - was not elected just grit your teeth, oay nothing and turi\ your thoughts to more pleasant subjects. We are glad that the campaign is about over and let those of us who have spent so much time In talking pol itics return to our normal condition and spend our time on better things. * The recent election brought out, many curious things, For instance: Antia voting for Tillman! , ' Although Governor i Blease is re elected It Is by so small a majority lie should not lose his head. ThU may serv& for a good purpose. It took a long time to convince the "Antls" that Tillman is a good man to vote for, but they finally gee some good in the old man. The Columbia State has always accused Senator Tillman of lying without any compunction of con science and that his every act wan for personal advantage or political preferment, but wo thought It was mistaken, ? One of the 1 surprises sprung in the primary in this county was that of the flattering vote of 319 cast for Mr. R. B: Humphries for sher iff. Mr. Humphries entered the race practically unknown except in the northern section of the county, and was often jollied as the "walk ing candidate." He accepts his de feat gracefully and is thanking hlB friends and remarking that had he rode a mule instead of walking, there Is no telling what his vote would have totalled. He gives no tice that hie will be with "the boys" again four years**hence. * *? The letter of Senator Tillman en dorsing Judge 1 Jones for the gover norship came as a bombBhell In the camp of the Tlllmanites and for a while confusion ""and disorder pre vailed, but they quickly re-organ ized and -presented quite a solid front against the old Senator for whom they had always voted, and no doubt the result, of the election shows Mr. Tillman that the people think for themselves and follow him only when they believe he Is right. . He had promised to be "hands off" and they expected him to make good hts promise. Memls Thanks to Friends. Publishers Chronicle: I desire to return my sincere thanks to the voters for the very flattering vote given me In the recent primary which placed me In the second race.

Much money is spent every year in South Carolina lor improved cot ton weed, but little care is given proved varieties and, as a rule, the the seed harvseted from these im proved varietlea; and, a a a rule, the euperlor yielding qualities which they posses* are lout. It la impos sible ? to keep cotton seed pure when they are ginned at the pub lic ginnery, lienor aome method must be adopt. ed whereby the good qualitlea of auy variety may be kept from deteriorating and, at the tame time, Improved. Thla can beat be done on the uverage farm by selecting good atalka of cotton from the general field. licfore deciding upon any individual stalk, be aure that It la growing under normal conditions aa to Hpace, and rlchneaa of aoil. Having located a atalk thus sit uated, sec that It la well supmUed with close Jointed fruit limbs, with the large basal llmba coming out from the stalk neat the ground, and curving slightly upward. For a variety of cotton possessing the limbs of this geueral nature will be a heavy ylelder and, at the s&tae time, It can be plowed later than those varieties having limbs which project at right angles to the stalk. It will also be foound that limbs of this type will not sag to the ground as badly, consequently there will be a smaller number of rot ten bojls upon thorn. One should also stri.ve to select stalks which have the largest bolls ? this applies to small boll cotton as well as big boll. While selecting stalks which possess good qualities, it is abso lutely necessary that they be free from antbracnose and wilt for if they are not and the seed are plant ed, it will be only a question of time when the whole farm will be ovfer run with these two diseases. Another important factor to bear in mind is arliness ? -thla does not bolls, but rather to the ? setting of refer -to the time of opening of the the bolls. While the bolls are op en one can get Home idea as to tho storm resistance of that partic ular stalk, and a stalk that drops the seed cotton easily should not be selected. Havinng selected the stalks It is necessary to pick each one separate ly and do not allow the seed cotton from any two stalks to become mix ed. Then, at some leisure time, hand pick a sufficient amount from each stalk to plant a short row the next year. Before planting time select a small area of soil away frotn any other field of cotton, which is representative of the en tire farm, prepare and fertilize it the same as the general field, and plant each sample ? t, seed in & se parate row, takngij pains to give all the seed tjie samee disance. This is best dqne by dropping them by hand. FTrom planting un til ? gathering -time treat the same as the general cotton field, but at harvest time each row should be gathered separately and weighed. Those giving the best yield should be ginned together after satisfying yourself that the gin is clean atid the rush o the season Is over. These seed can then be planted together and the general crop the next year planted from them as well as securing the best stalks for a row test each year. This may seem to be a tedious method, but it is the one pursued by all men who. breed good varieties of cotton. ? J. M. Napier, Clemson College. ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE.

By a feat of modern surgery a two year old boy admitted to the Post Graduate Hospital five weeks ago with deformities which In the light of medical science of a few years or even month* ago ? would have made him a hopeless cripple for life, returns to Waterbury, Con necticut, sound and normal in his limbs and functions. Bone transplanting, the newest Une of experimentation in 20th cen tury surgery, reclaimed the young cripple, says a New York letter/ Bones taken from the bodies of healthy infants who had Buffeted violent deaths and placed in cold storage were transplanted into the body of the boy by an entirely new operation which can now be pro nounced successful. ? The little patient was born with deformed feet, commonly' known as club feet, di\e to the fact that there were not the normal number of. bones in the feet. The ordinary corrective ftieasure hitherto employ- 1 ed by surgeons in similar cases re quired the cutting of the ligaments and . tissues and the gradual straightening of the feet., by the j use of braces and apparatus. This treatment occupied years, ande venj if it produced corrective effect It never gave required strength to the f^et to bring about what might] be termed an effectual cure. It was a new idea and a bold stroke of surgery to attempt in this case to- reconstruct and practi-| cally build up the skeleton bodies j of other children. It was attempt ed, however, aTi d& c CO Ift pi I s h ed with1} entire success and opens a new! field to orthopedic surgeons. Dr. Fred H. Albee, who is head of the department of orthope dic surgery at Cornell, at the Uni~ versity of Vermont and at the Post Graduate Medical School, whose re cent oriignal work in bone trans plantation has attracted wide at tention in the medical world, con-l ceiyed and performed this new cor-j rective operation for a deformity] that for thousands of years has i filled the world with cripples.
