| Now is the Time to
Plant Potatoes
Those w*ho plan to grow a crop of
fall Irish potatoes are reminded that
now is the time to plant this crop for
the best success, and that the Lookout
Mountain variety gives best results
because of its good yield and
keeping quality. The following suggestions
are made by the horticulture
specialists at Clemson on methods of
s v,
planting and cultivation:
Planting-?Moisture content and
previous preparation of the soil predetermine
the stand. Preparatory to
planting it is well to reopen the furrows
and to follow immediately (before
giving the soil time to lose any
of its moisture) by dropping the tubers
or parts of tubers twelve to fourteen
inches apart in the drill and covering
to a depth of 3 to 6 inches,
depending upon the character of the
soil?heavier soils being planted
more shallow t'han lighter soils. Parts
- of cut tubers should be as large as
practicable. Packing the soil about
the tubers either by stepping lightly
with a rubber sole shoe or with the
^5. , _ ^ ^ ^
Dare root curecuy upon me luoer
when dropped or by use of a light
roller following covering with the
plow, insures a much better stand, if
the soil is sufficiently well pulverized
to prevent crushing the tubers.
Sprouting Helpful.
If tubers of the spring crop of the
current year are used for planting
the second or fall crop, "sprouting"
c' .. preparatory to planting will be very
helpful in obtaining a stand. This
is recommended only where it is not
possible to get seed that have been
held over in cold storage or otherwise,
and may be done by drying
the tubers by stacking in trays or
shallow piles in an open shed excluding
the light for a period of ten to
fourteen days, and then spreading
them upon the ground in a cool,
shady place covered with straw to a
depth of three to six inches and watering
sufficiently to saturate the
straw but by no means such as to
drench the tubers. Planting should
be done as soon as slight sprouting
begins.
Cultivation. ? Frequent shallow
cultivation, either by harrowing
across or with the rows, should be
given at intervals of one week apart
i . or as soon after each rain as soil conditions
will permit, until a good
stand is obtained; after which culti
vation should be such as may he
necessary to keep the crop in a high
state of, cultivation. Under normal
conditions, from 90 to 110 days from
planting will be required to make the
crop.

ILLINOIS MURDERS A WARNING
To the Nation Against Radicalism in
Labor Unionism.
The awful crime committed at
Herrin, 111., in the murder of 40 or
more innocent men developed a fiendishness
perhaps almost without parallel
in human history. A young woman
with a baby in her arms, so the
report says, placed her foot on the
body of one of the innocent men who
had been shot down?shot merely
because he was willing to work?
and looking down into his face, covered
with blood, and hearing his beg"?
?- J . i<T?n
gmg cry ior waier, saiu: 1 xi see
you in hell before you get any water."
On the road where six men tied together
had been shot down as though
they were mad dogs, burning with
thirst they begged for water, and received
from both men and women
only jeers for their cries.
These are but typical illustrations
out of dozens of equal horror reported
from a spot where people
seem to have given the world a new
conception of the awful degradation
nf which men and women alike can
sink under the leadership of hell.
The situation at Herrin, shocking
beyond all power of words to express,
marks a new phase of human
depravity. It is indicative of the
spirit which has been created in many
thousands of people by the bitter denunciation
by labor leaders of the
right of men to work untrammeled
by radical unionism. It is indicative
of the spirit that is abroad through
thp teachine of those who denounce
our courts and who gloatingly violate
our laws.
If ever a nation needed to heed a
warning which is but a sign of the
times, this nation needs at the present
time to be called to its senses
and face the facts.
We need to learn that the domination
of radical unionism can give Bolshevism
a long lead and still beat it
in the race to desperate criminality.
We need to learn that the independence
of this country from union
domination and from lawless men,
whether of high or low degree, who
violate laws and denounce courts, can
only be safeguarded by an awakened
conscience of the American people
stirred to its deepest depths by the
black horror which Illinois has let
loose upon our country. That horror
is but the natural and inevitable harvest
of the seed that has been sown in
hatred by radical leaders of labor
unions against independent or open
shop men. It is but the inevitable
harvesting of the seed sown by every
man who violates law or who assumes
to denounce courts and all legislatures
or who gives unbridled rein to
his own desires regardless of statute
or moral law.
The law breaker is a criminal.
Law breaking is anarchy; and the
fruit of anarchy is death to the nation.
Any man who has wilfully violated
the laws of his land is to the extent
of his influence responsible for bringing
about the lawless spirit the fruit
of which is seen in the situation in
Herrin; and the same harvest is being
gathered in every part of our
land where murders are rampant and
murderers go free.
The teaching of radicalism in labor
unionism and the hatred thus engendered
for all open shop or independent
men leads inevitably in final
fruition to the spirit which found
vent in the diabolism which was rampant
when hell broke loose and set
its stamp of approval upon the Illinois
atrocities.?Manufacturers Record.
"Political History."
In an effort "to keep the record
straight," The Bamberg Herald cites
some interesting election figures under
the above caption in last week's
issue. The article was in response
to a claim made by "some people
that Blease had carried Bamberg
county in several of his races." It
appears from the record that the exgovernor
did get a majority of OS in
that county in 1910, when he was
elected over Featherstone. In all of
his other campaigns from 1900 down
to date. Bamberg went "agin 'im." at
times by a majority of 4 to 1.
It is also interesting to note in
this connection that while .Air. Blease
has been a candidate for state office
continuously since 1910, with the exception
of 1904 and 1 920, a total of
nine campaigns, he has been successfully
twice. His try-out again'this
year makes the sixth time he has
run for governor. In addition, he has
offered twice for lieutenant governor
and twice for the United States senate.
It might' he remarked in passing
that Mr. Blease's candidacy in Barnwell
county .has not fared much better
in the past than it did in Bamberg
county.?Banwell People.

WON'T BURN WEEVILS.
Negroes in Anderson Say It's Provi- ^
dential Pest.
C
Anderson, July 21.?Stories are
told of boll weevils, but about the 1
latest story is that of the superstition
among negroes of this state in
regard to burning the squares. E
Stories from over the county in regard
to the negroes refusing to pick
up and burn the squares have been
oft repeated. The negroes claim that A
the boll weevil is a pest sent here by
Providence, and they will not fight
_
them. This story was given a new
impetus recently when a negro youth A
was struck by lightning and killed
while working in a cotton field picking
up squares. The neighborhood
negroes were panic stricken and absolutely
refused to assist in any way
in fighting the weevil.
Anderson county farmers report n
that while the negroes will pick the a
squares up, they will not burn them. ~
The superstition seems to be that if 1
the squares are burned and the
smoke inhaled, it will certainly kill
the person inhaling it.

ed breast,
No love of harmony dwelt.
From his bed arose, in his red nightclothes.
Giving voice to the rage that he
felt.
A bootjack he seized in his vengeful
hand,
And he hurled it out into space,
But a smile lit up through the draw
war scars, *
On that veteran tomcat's face.
Never touched me he cried, in triumphant
glee,
While a voice of derision he
meowed.
And that madman swore 'till the
stars went out,
And the moon hid its face in a
cloud.
Again did that tomcat raise his voice.
In a song to his sweet Marie,
While the echo's quivered like current
jell,
In the thrill of their melody.
Then that madman seized his trusty
gun,
And it belched forth a rain of lead,
While that tomcat struggled oin the
throes of death,
On the roof of that old woodshjed.
With a shout of triumph the madman
sought,
The embrace of his couch again.
But that tomcat raised his shotpierced
head.
And from it shook out the pain,?
Saying?I have been slaughtered
three times, now,?
I have had trouble to beat the
band;
And tho' slightly disfigured, I am still
in the ring
And have six more lives on hand.
