Governor Blease said: ••The Chester sheriff insisted that his prisoners should be brought here snd lodged in the Penitentiary.

It is get ting to be a serious proposition, and unless the Courts or the Legislature provide some remedy I fear for tbs results. . We have now the Bethune case from Clarendon—the jnurder of a white man by. a negro four or five times sentenced to death, and each time the sentence set aside by some frivolous technicality of law.

No wonder the deputy sheriff of Chester, the home of a law-abid ing and peaceful people, who sel dom are aroused to that pitch where they take the law into their own hands, begs to be allowed to bring bis prisoners to this city to be placed in the Penitentiary on account of fear of lynching. Ijnwr'M Course is Delay. How long the white people of South Carolina are going to stand tbis condition of affairs I don’t know. When negroes assault their womens when they burn their property, when they murder their neighbors^ they sit as law abiding dtisens sad allow the law to take Us course as they are ad vised by the great upholders of law and order to do, sad the course of the law is delay, delay, delay. Negro societies take up collectioas for and contribute to the defence of thoee who assault white women, murder white men or burn white men’s prop erty. Lawyers are found who go be yond the scope of an honorable' at torney and accept this petty chicken change as a fee to defeat or to delay what they know to he justice, eves where the issue is between the white woman and the negro brute. Then, when the white people,'realising this fearful condition, not knowing what moment the crime of nil crimes most terrible may he brought home to their wives or daughters, or what moment their lives may be taken or their property .may go up in emoke. get r.roueed and take the law into their own hands, the newspapers and oth ers come out and yell, •jwfe“murder- ers. the hoodlums, the anarchists, take, the law into their own hands.’ Parole** Seldom Violated. 3*1 know that it will be charged, as it has been charged, that I am in fa vor of lawlessness, and ray record c f pardons and paroles w ill be point ed to bear out the charge. I care rot for this charge, because the rec ords prove It untrue., I have parol ed a great many people, but myjmcr ord speaks for Itself, and it speaks in loud and no uncertain terms. In v *ry rare .instances—only two or three cades—have the paroles which I have granted been violated. It is not the people I .have paroled w ho *r* committing crimes. It is the kind of people who would never secure ex ecutive clemency from me who are committing these recent horrible crimes. When It comes to the issue between the negro and the white man the records will show what has been my course as to executive clemency. When it is negro against negro, or ^hen it is white man against white man, or when it is white man against n *gro, the record speaks for itself. When it comes to s negro pitcint his hands upon a white woman, or v t>pon a white man, or upon the prop er of a white man, the leccrd •Pjgka for itself. When win Coarts Awa!-' When are the Courts going to kwake to the eeceaslty of proaounc- hg their decrees speedily upon the 4*®Ple who commit the kind of crtsMe which are bow blotting the ftir name of this State sad putting the Mamp of their disapproval upon three sisters, two brothers and a host pf relatives and friends to mourn their loss. The bereaved have the sympathy of the entire community and we earnestly pray that God’s richest blessings may rest upon them in this hour of sorrow, and guard and direct them through their future life that they may some sweet day peet her in the beyond, never to part no more.

C.: v Dear Sir—The article **Somo Drawback to tobacco in Culture byi Mr A. M. Howell in your issue of April 23rd bas recently been called to my attention.'' I’ would like to suggest to Mr Howell that the next time he is trou bled with flea beetles that he try Bordeaux Mixture or Bordeaux Ar- isenicgl at the rate 1 lb. to 125 gal- lions of water, as tbis has been tested 'and found to be the moat effective spray used against fler. beetles when properly applied. X * ' Bordeaux Mixture and Bordeaux Ansenicals are in the market as a paste and cost approximately 7 to 20* cent per pound, depending upon the amount pun based. The above formula is for the paste. Bordeaux Mixture, however, may be made at home according to the following formula: Bordeaux M ixture (Standard). Copper sulphate (Bluestone). ^4 lbs. Fresh stone lime (quick lime) X. .6 lb*. Water :g0 gals. This is for all plants in the open except peach, plum, cucumbers, mel on. etc. Bordeaux Mixture (weak solution) Copper sulphate... .a. .,. 2 1-2 lbs. Fresh stone lime .6 lbs. Water < 50 gals. This is used for peaches, plums, against the brown rot and also for icu'-uthbers nvelons.^fitc. In Bordeaux MixtuTe is the ’S* active agent that kills the fungus. The lime, which must In* fresh and unsisfked. forms a combination with the bluestone which prevents the <op- per from pinning the foliage of the plants, treated, but at thf same time leaving it active enough to destroy fungi with which it <omes in con tact. \ If an, insufficient amount of lime is used, or if pld or air-slacked lime which has lost its caustic character be used, free topper will be left which will destroy the foliage of- plants to which it is applied. In mak ing Bordeaux, then, quick lime must be used, and tho mixture must be made so that there is no free copper present. The following are general directions for making: Dissolve 4 pounds of copper sulphate (blue- stone) in wooden or ea*-ten vessel containing small amount of hot wa ter and dilute with ,water to 25 gal lons. Slack 4 pounds of quick lime, strain to remove foreign particles and lumps, aad dilute to 25 gallons. Pour the tw^l solutions slowly to gether at the same time into a third veaael. stirring all the time so as to insure thorough mixing. Test to see if the mixture is complete and apply' at once. For different strength so lutions vary am«Ant of constituents and follow same directions. Where Bordeaux fai)s to stick to the folipge add 1 1-2 to 2 pounds soap to 50 gal lons. Test Tor flordeaax. There are two simple tests for Bor deaux, either of whiqji can be easily applied. One consists ip inserting s bright clean knife blade into the fraebly made mixturo. holding there for two minutes and noting the re sult. If the blade has turned n cop per or red the lime used is defective or yx>u have used insufficient quan tity. If the blade after being wiped clean is still clean and bright the mix ture is complete. Another simple test consists in taking a saucer full of freshly pre pared Bordeaux Mixture aud blow ing your breath or surface for one and a half or two minutes and noting result. If a thin film forms over the surface the mixture is complete, Hordeuux Arsenical. This consists of Bordeaux Mix- ture nnil one cf the p.rseuical poisons making the spray a fungicide as well as an inFecticide. Besides, Bor deaux Mixture in some instances acts as an effective spray against insects, (flea beetles bing one of these) How to I’VejMire. Prepare the Bordeaux Mixture ac cording to the formula desired, then add arsenical poiaon, counting the Bordeaux as water. For example, arsenate of lead is used at the rate of 2 pounds to 50 gallons of water. To every 50 gallons of Bordeaux add 2 pounds of Arsenate; or Paris Green, used according to potato for mula, would have to be added at the rate of. half pound to 50 gallons of Bordeaux. The above la taken from Bulletin No. 14, of the 8. C. Experiment Sta tion.—Clemson College, $.
