Camden, S Sept. 6, 1926. *AM McGOWAN M&IONK, PtMiiioo N#tr Goes To Boo Haw/fr j WIH a Looser ttalary. (By Joe. K, Auii.) , Columbia Sept. 20.?With tho r^i|* I nation of Rear Admiral .Samu*4 McGowan m ehief highway cotumissioner, there will during next, month pa** from the original lUft of South Carcdlna an unusual figure. Sixteen months ago. after a distinguished Mirks in the Navy of the United State#?a service which had gained recognition not only in this country, but in all the nation* amoj,g the Aliifc* which he served during the World war. and a service which wa* severely felt in Germany, against which it wa? directed?Admiral McGowan had retired to hia home in Lauren* for rest. He was drafted into the service of the St^te as it* chief highway comrais-^ sioner, a position which carries with It heavy duties and heavy responsibilities. He came to Columbia, and since that time he has been oh the job. Now. he says, his work has been all but . accomplished, and he want* to go home. Admiral McGowan gave the entire department a thorough shaking-up. Ho co-ordinated it* activities into a smoothly running whole, and he ha* got results. He ha* devoted hia time and his ability to the work of building road*, and he has been building them. Directness is one of his chief characteristics. He goes straight toward* his objective. Technicalities have no jrtore.stood in Hi* way than would have a frail schooner against a battleship upon which he rode the waves when he was handling billion* of dollars for the goyemment during the war, or a barbed Wire fence against one of the heavy tanks. And what he has done has been in the public gaze, with what, he and other* have termed pitiless light of publicity ? pouring down upon it. When he wanted sign boards removed from the highways, Lhe set to work, having given utterance to the irrefutable logic that- the sign boards were useless unless they attracted the attention of the drivers of motor vehicles, and if they did attract such attention they were dangerous?and that they w?re unaightly and had to go. When motor busses constantly and continuously exceeded the speed limit, in spite of warnings, he began to take action towards putting either speed governors or speed sirens upon them, and before he leaves he will have this matter under control, or well under way to be concluded by his successor. When the campaign waxed warm this summer, and there came to him complaints that some of the. employees of the department were taking an active part in polities he issued one of his famous memoranda forbidding any ac-. tivity, except the simple activity of voting as the employee pleased. His various actions and orders and memoranda have been as crisp and as forceful as his written words. He sought to inject into the department the efficiency of the navy, -to which he had been accustomed and which he had helped to create, without any of i*.1' harshness, if orders were obeyed. He ear.y became a storm centre. He has been aggressive, and nothing less was expected. During the campaign he and his department were made issues, and there were attacks upon his personal character by one of the candidates?but the attacks were at a distance, and Mr. McGowan held his peace. lie told this correspondent a couple of anecdotes which defined hi3 position. There he let the matter rest. Hi- is going to be missed from the department and from the State's official activities. His successor, Mr. Ben Sawyer, was strongly urged by Mr. McGowan, and is highly praised by him. Mr. Sawyer is familiar with the work, and with affairs and conditions in South Carolina and his frends are confident that he will carry on successfully. There has been some comment, however, upon the action of the Commission in putting a man in Mr. Sawyer's place at a .salary of $2,000 les* than the $0,000, to which Mr. Sawyer's salary was raised during the last legislature. The appropriation act allows the commission to reduce a salary, hut it is pointed out that if the work was worth $0,000 for one man. It is worth $0,000 for another man competent to perform it, and that either the salary is too low now or was made too high last January. Mr. J. Wesly Wilks, now director of the motor vehicle department, will go in at a salary of $1,000, which was the salary before the dincrcase \>y the legislature of 1926. It is urged by some that the action of the Commission would seem to indicate that the $6,000 salaly was for the man rather than for the work of the position. Anyway, the salary of $6,000 comes back down to $4,000. Typhus fever is epidemic at Ha m- j burg, Germany. Thirty deaths and 1,100 Cases had been reported up to rjM#day. .. ... -v v- ?1 - " r? A'NBW WINTER LEGUME. 1 Austria* WiaUr KwU Pr?vf Valvabk In TUa 8UU. r tltmion College, kept. 20,?First trials of the Australian winter field pea as a cover crop for aoil building in South Carolina made in the season of 1024-2$, with small acreages at Clemson College, Aiken, Camden, and Charleston, gave excellent results in all place*. Trials were again mad* in 1025-20 and results were again ex telle ut. At Clemson College the yield of peas planted *!<*?* was ifitf pounds of hay per acre; rye and peas together 5772 pounds per acre. Corresponding high yields were obtained at the other location^ The Australian pea is a winter legume of the same family aa garden peas and aw?et peas, says R, W. Hamilton, Acting Chief Agronomist, who says that they come in the rotation at the same place as vetch. Their advantage over vetch as shown by two years' trial, is that they produce more growth for soil-building purposes or hay and the seed re ' cheaper per pound than vetch. They require the earns inoculation as vetch. The peas should be sown as early in the fall as possible at Jhe rate of 30 pounds of peas and 3 pecks of fye or 1 bushel of oats per acre. They may also be grown alone .Preparation for sowing is the same as for vetch. The results obtained in trials its this state and in other southern states, warrant a more" general planting of this winter legume. Farmers interested in trying it, may write to the Agronomy Division, Clemson College, for information as to where seed may be obtained. 1 . .i.i New York city schools opened Monday with an enrollment of between 1*50,000 and 1,000,000 children. a .. . < > MASTER'S SALE.
