and 1/xal Warehouses Will Provide
Solution of Marketing Question.
Columbia Uncord.
The stuMonent from Washington that
th?? foderul reserve hoard would aid
in financing tli?* cotton crop, furnishes
additional evidence of the slucerlty of
purposo a i m I determination on the part
of the aduiliilHl ration t<j> carefully coo
sldcr the Interests of the South as well
iih other sections of the country, said
(inventor Manning Wednesday. "Cot*
ton being the leading staple of the
South, the progress and pros|s>rlty of
thin section 1h directly dependent ii|x>ii
It, and the possibility of link of ex port
demand for the staple would of course
bring aland ii condition that would
work groat Injury to the Mouth," he
continued.
"The. action of the administration
la not a surprise to me, and is only
what I oxjMH'ted, it put a It up to us
of the South, hOWever, to help our
selves, and I am sure that we of the
South will hot fall In this emergency,
"The advhe given by the federal
reserve hoard In sound ; we should have
a system of warehousing Col ton that
would enable the producers of cotton,
the fanners, to hold It. In warehouses
whenever there ,1s depression In the
price and lack of demand.
"I want to point out to our farmers
now the necessity for perfecting our
warehouse system and of adding to
our warehouse capacity. Now is the
time to profane to take care of the
growing crop,
"III the absence of legislation pro
viding for olllclal graders of cotton,
our different communities should get
together and arrange to have a cap
able, disinterested and reliable man to
grade cotton as well as to weigh it,
so that, grades and weights will be ac
curately shown on the warehouse re
ceipts. I feel that If cotton is well
protected from weather, well covered
by Insurance, and with the grading
and weighing accurate, that we Can
rely on being able to use these ware
house certificates through local banks
and the federal reserve bank and that
with these conditions compiled with
that we ought to he able to get mon
ey at a reasonable rate of Interest.
"As time goes 011 the warehouse re
ceipts, if properly safeguarded, will be
come more and more desirable as a
collateral on loans, and with this sys
tem worked out I believe that the prob
lem of marketing our cotton will he
solved. If we do our part I believe
that. President Wilson and the Demo
cratic administration at Washington
will do theirs, and that we can look
with courage to the future."
THE COW AND HER PRODUCT.
deration College Weekly Notes For
Farmer and Dairyman.
(These notes uro prepared weekly
by the Dairy DlvLsiou of Clemson Col
lego which will be glad to answer any
questions pertaining to dairying.)
The silo ownpr does no.t tremble
when pastures begin to dry up.
Are you selling any of your cream
to the soda -water fountains In town?
"Ilest" and "best looking" do not
mean the same thing when applied to
dairy cows.
In order to be a good producer, a
eow must have a big feeding capacity.
Feeding Is as Important as brooding
in dairying. A well-bred cow poorly
fed will give little better results, than
a scrub.
You don't know much about your
cows until you weigh their milk and
test It with a liabcock tester. Keep
records.
What is more profitless than a
"boarder" eow that consumes more
money in feed than she produces in
milk and calves?
The best way to make additions to
the dairy herd is to raise those heifer
calves which show the points of good
milkers.
Yes. indeed, dairying Is quite a ??om
pllcated business and U takes a man
who can and will think to Ih* h suc
cessful dairyman.
Do not change milkers frequently.
When a cow becomes used to a milker,
a change will reduce her milk produc
tion until she l>ecomes used to the new
milker.
Be good to your cows during this
hot weather. If pastures go dry. pro
vide them with extra feed. Protect
them from tiles by the use ??f some
good spray.
This is the time of year when so
cial care must l>e taken in the dairy to
produce clean milk. Disease germs
are abundant now ami they will be in
the milk unless precautions are taken.

A Kalelgh, N. C., special to the Char

additional ,'?0 days commutation in or
dered by (Governor Craig in the ?*ase of
Charles Trull, young white man, under
sentence in Charlotte for the murder
and robbery of an aged merchant nam
ed Sidney Swain. The commutation is
from August 0 to September 3 and Is
for the special purpose of having a
special commission pass on the sanity
of Trull. Ills attorneys are contend
ing that In addition to their insistence
that, their client Is not guilty, lie is
insane and in no condition for electro
rut Ion if he were guilty. There is a
line of newly discovered evidence point
ing to the guilt of a pal of Trull's
and the whole matter will be Investi
gated before the Governor takes ac
tion."
Charles Trull was formerly of Co

And thin 1m exactly as It should ho.
Hut many of our small neighbors,

little mole' who works Hummer ami win
ter, ridding our gardens of cut worms
and Injurious grubs.
Some very knowing j>eoplo, who real
ly know very little, have charged him
with eating the roots of plants. This
Is all a mistake, as he is a vegetar'an
in no sense of the word, his food <on
sistliiK entirely of crickets, grubs an I
every species of inserts that 11 v?* and
hurrow In the ground. From morning
until night his entire time Is taken up
devouring the enemies of roots, ' til
never onee attacking a root Itself. lib
regular diet consists of earthworms.
They are to Idin what beef Is to an
Englishman or macaroni to a child .f
sunny Italy. Ills capacity for food Is
simply marvelous; a regular eating 1nai
chine warranted to never get out of
tlx. Ills working hours are spent in
gulping down food rt n a valii attempt
to satisfy an appetite that ever calls
for more. He requires nourishment to
such an extent that to deprive him of
food for a single day is to sign his
death warrant. Statistics are not
much to our liking, hut to give an Idea
of the quantity of food they consume
the following is quoted :
"A Swiss naturalist* experimenting
with two moles, found that in nine
days they ate ,'141 grubs, 103 earth
worms, 25 caterpillars and u mouse,
both the bones ami skin of which they
swallowed. -When restricted to a veg
etable diet they died of hunger."
A healthy mole would not be consid
ered a success as a table boarder ; not
If the landlady had to hustle around
and find the grubs and worms that lie
must have or die.
Just Imagine a boarder who never
I left the table, but who had to eat
straight along from daylight until
dark- Eating is the mole's sole ob
ject In life, bis special forte; as It were.
All social pleasures are either forgone
or made subsequent to this one absorb
ing calling. He not only eats to live,
but he lives to eat.
Though the mole Is distinctly an un
derground Homebody, yet at times be
' conies a hunter or trapper of small
birds. This crafty miner pushes his
long flexible nose through the loose
earth of a mole-hill ami wiggles It in
a most seductive worm-like way. The
tlrst bird that sees it thinks of course
it's a worm, and swoops down to seize
It, only to be drawn underground by
the powerful claws of the hungry mole.
The mole is nature's auger ; an ani
mated gimlet, boring its way through
the earth with Wonderful velocity and
strength. The structure of the mole
is most ingeniously adapted to the life
he leads. . Its front feet are nothing
less than two broad cutting shovels,
moved by a muscular apparatus so
powerful that it alone weighs almost
as much as the rest of the body. Its
movable snout bores into and loosens
the soil, and its paws, turning outward
and backward, (dear this away with
the regular motion of a machine.
The mole is a strange paradox in
many ways. Though spending his en
tire existence buried in dirt, he is the
most cleanly animal of our acquain
tance. Lift him, kicking and scratch
ing, from his fresh cut tunnel, and we
find his fur coat simply immaculate ?
unsoiled by* spot or dust. He has the
appearance of having just stepi>ed out
of that traditional band box. Ills pink
ish white feet look as if just mani
cured and bathed, and his silky robe
Is Innocent of the, least small s|>eck of
dirt. He emerges from his day's work
of tunnelling as spotless as the beach
loafer in white duck canvas shoes and
Panama hat
Place a mole on top of the ground,
and it is positively uncanny how h*?
Instantly fades away into his natural
element ? the earth. Once under the
earth he Is safe from any enemy; even
a husky ditch-dlg^er armed with a
spade cannot hope to capture him
Now that you have been introduced
to a very near neighbor, though a sadly
neglected one, we hope you will have a
more kindly feeling for the little ^fel
low next time you see a mole hill run
ning among your flowers or across a
bed in the vegetable garden. ? O. A. IV,

A TEXAS BRONCHO
How a Preacher Bought Him and
Then Broke Him.
A STRUGGLE FOR MASTERY.
Th? Ugly Llttis BruU Was Tricky ?nd
For Awhii* It ?? Though Hs
Would Win the BattU With tho Cir
cuit Rider, but H# Didn't/
My first appointment writes Kev.
Henry IC. Wing, was to h big circuit
In southeastern Iowa. with beadquar*
ten* In u small hamlet. As I liad left
my family temporarily In the east 1
took a room in the village tavern. An
Immediate practical need was a home
to "ride the circuit"
Learning that a 51 r. Williams had
brought in a string of homes from the
southwest. I strolled out to bis ranch
to take a lool??t them. One of tbeui
was, to me, an entirely new specimen
?a Texas broncho. He was certainly
not at all like the "mount" of the typi
cal pioneer Methodist preacher and
was like homeliest creature on four
legs that 1 ever saw, with no "form"
to speak of and of a color that the
cleaner he was the dirtier ho looked.
But he was "all horse," aud 1 took
quite a fancy for him. *
As soon as his owner saw that I was
lnterosted In him he was discovered
to be a very choice animal that Mr.
Williams had purchased as a gift for
his little (laughter. But I persuaded
him to put a price on the colt, and he
named $76. T met this with an offer
of 75 cents. With this a "dicker" be
gan, participated In by about a hun
dred Interested spectators and ending
about dusk with a deal at $10.50. So
I made a partial payment to bind the
bargain and sent for my old army out
fit
About a fortnight afterward, early
In the morning, before many were like
ly to be about with j my good bridle
on my arm and my trusty saddle on
my shoulder. I slipped quietly out to
the Williams ranch. He backed my
broncho Into the border of a grove of
young maples. He- then strapped his
(the broncho's) hind fetlocks to two sap
lings about sixteen Inches upart and
tied his head with a short halter to a
tree in front Thus secrured the fran
tic creature could neither rear nor lie
down, and without much difficulty I
got the bridle and saddle on.
My attention had been so engrossed
In these preparations that I had not
noticed the crowd that had gathered
to see the "Yankee preacher" give ? or,
rather, make? an exhibition at "bron
cho busting." This was what I had
tried to avoid, for, while I had perfect
confidence In my ability to mount and
ride the animal, I did not care to make
a "swagger" of my horsemanship. But
their presence now stirred my ambi
tion to make something of a show of
my proficiency.
Mr. Williams suggested that I mount
and get a Arm seat before he released
the colt, but I declined, and as the
freed horse sprang forward I leaped
to his back and found the stirrups.
The crowd gave a little exclamation of
surprise, and then rewarded the feat
with a rousing cheer. I was elated
now and full of confidence. I had had
all sorts of performances under me in
that same paddle and knew all the
tricks and capers of the specleflL
All? All but one. Leaping out from
among the trees, he lit with his four
feet close together and his back in a
hump, wltb me perched on the pinna*
clo. Tnen with a series of marvelous
contortions be kept me bumping, every
blow producing a concussion at the
barfo of the brain. I kept my balance
with my feet firm in the straight stir
rups and my knees pressed tight
against his sides. But that repeated
pounding stunned me. My head began
to swim, and 1 realized that a few
more such Jolts would unhorse mew .
And then 1 prayed? Just a gasp.
With the breath in which that prayer
was uttered the colt took a notion to
run away. Apparently seised with a
sudden fit of homesickness, he started
for Texas, 1,000 miles away. Through
the open gate and down the sonth road
he (lew, while I leaned forward on hts
neck and relaxed my strained muscles
and regained my wind and nerve.
At last We descended, over the rim
of the prairie, to a stream- bordered
with trees, and I turned him out into a
thick clump of bushes. Than I prac
ticed a method suggested to me years
before, the same rule as for handling a
boy ? "first teach him that yoa are his
master, and then show him that you
are his best friend, but do not let him
ever forget for a single minute that I
you aro his master."
I dismounted and spent an hour pet
ting and caring for the hot and discour
aged creature. lie was too used up at
first to resent my advances had he
been Inclined to, and he soon seemed
to realize that my intentions were
friendly. I patted him and talked to
him in kindly tone* and led him about
to browse. Finally I watered him,
m mm tod him and rode back home.
And I have always accounted this aa
