WAR TO THE END
' igulraie Kirbj Writes GsTeraer Bless#
He Will Net Give Up.
MAKES A PRETTY MESS
Tine Governor Tells Uowden, His Appointee,
to Sit Tight, and That He
j[ Will Attend to the Matter "At the
Proper Time and in the Proper
Way."
"Having been appointed for two
years or until my successor is appointed
by and with the consent of
the senate, I regret that, under the
existing circumstances, I do not feel
authorized or duty bound to surrender
the office of magistrate," said
MaJ. August H. Kirby, magistrate at
Spartanburg, in a letter which he
wrote Gov. Cole L. Blease Friday
In answer to the executive's letter informing
him that his commission was
null and void.
"Go ahead and perform your duties
as magistrate, and pay no attention
to Mr. Kirby," is the advice received
from Gov. Blease by J. Malcolm"
Bowden, who was, appointed by
the governor to succeed Maj. Kirby.
Another magistrate, W. C. Harrison,
of Readville, who was recom
mended for reappointment by the legislative
delegation, declines to surrender
his oflice to the governor's appointee,
T. O. Fowler.
These were Friday's developments
In the magisterial muddle In Spartanburg
county, says The State.
Maj. Kirby's letter to the governor
follows in full:
"'Hon. Cole L. Blease, Governor, CoJumbia,
S. C.
"Dear Sir: I am in receipt of yours
of the 8th inst., in which you say
yuur Huccueuur iiuvuig ueen appointed,
your commission as magistrate is
hereby revoked arid made null and
yoid.'
"Having ]>een appointed for two
years or until my successor is appointed
by and with the consent and
advice of the senate, I regret that
tinder the existing circumstances, I
do not feel authorized or duty bound
to surrender the office as magistrate.
"I was prepared to turn over to my
Successor the office of magistrate, had
he been appointed and commissioned
as the law reuires, as per civil code,
section 982.
"You having ignored the recommendations
of the Spartanburg county
delegation and the senate, I am
advised that I should hold over as
legal magistrate.
"Yours respectfully,
"A. H. Kirby,
"'Magistrate.'
Mr. Bowden wrote Gov. Blease that

etructions he had made formal demand
of Maj. Kirby, in the presence
of a witness, for the books and papers
of the magistrate's ofllce ana
that Maj. Kirby had refused to give
them to him. Mr. Rowden has received
a letter from Alexander Rowland,
private secretary to the governor,
stating:
"The governor is in receipt of your
letter of March 6 and directs me to
advise you to go ahead and perform
voiir duties as maerlstrato and nnv
no attention to Mr. Kirby, that the
matter will be attended to at the
?Lm proper time and in the proper way.
" "Yours very truly,
"Alex. Rowland,
"Private Secretary."
There is considerable speculation
&8 to what "the proper time and the
proper way" will be. It is said that
it the governor should now attempt
to remove Maj. Kirby "for cause" It
would be a virtual acknowledgement
that he had no authority arbitrarily
to revoke the commission as he has
done.
It is expected that the matter will
he adjudicated when the rival mag/
Istrates present their claims for sal
ary.
' Both are doing business, but not
nearly so much as if there was no
cloud on their titles of the office.
The other Spartanburg magistrate,
Robert J. Gantt, whose right to the ,
office is not disputed, is being
swamped with business. Many litigants
are fearful that decisions or
judgments rendered by either of the
other two might not hold,
y Magistrate Harrison of Reldvilie
JU was in the city Friday in consulta- ,
* ' tlon with Maj. Kirby. He was com- <
missioned as magistrate in 1910 oy j
Gov. Ansel to fill out the unexpired .
term of R. L. Pearson, resigned. (
The delegation recommended him }
for reappointment. Gov. Blease ]
Ignored the recommendation and ap- .

Harrison has received a demand from ,
Mr. Fowler for the official books. He j
has declined, however, to give up the
books and is prepared to conduct all ]
business that may ariso. * ,

AN OBJECT LESSON
THAT IS WHAT THE FARM OF
CAPT. J. M. MOSS SURELY IS.
The System Used on His Thirteen
Hundred Acre Farm Should Be
Used by Others.
There are In South Carolina more
improvements In recent years in developing
farm lands and in developing
farmers than have ever been true
before. Every county in our State
can furnish object lessons in this important
respect. A correspondent of
The State writes as follows concerning
the farm of a well-known successful
farmer:
"Your correspondent had the pleas
ure a rew days ago 01 visiung me
home of Capt. J. M. Moos, whose
1,300-acre farm lies within two miles
of the flourishing town of Cameron.
Progressive farming methods in every
meaning of the term are here In
evidence, and the leading spirits
guiding it all are Capt. J. M. XMoss
and his son, Thos. C. Moss. For many
years, of course, the work was done
by Capt. Moss, but for some years
now the active management of all
of the affairs of the farm have been
in charge of Thos. C. Moss. The
present order and system of this farm
combines in such fine style all thai
should belong to progressive farming
of today that a brief recital of it
will not only be a benefit to the
people of the State, but will furnish
an object lesson of which any young
many should be proud.
The system on this farm is such
II *1 .1 ^
I 11 <11, Lliyi'U tllU II vu uivmiunn, auu
these are systematically worked In a
businesslike manner each year, rotation
and diversified farming being
cardinal principles. Theso five divisions
include the culture of cotton,
corn, grain, oats, asparagus, stock
and poultry raising. Your correspondent
greatly regrets that this artic4e
must necessarily be condensed and
brief, for the systematic details of
work on this farm should be known
to other planters in South Carolina.
The soil is light and loamy, but
has been developed to a high state of
cultivation. Seventy acres last year
yielded GOO pounds of lint cotton pei
acre. Another field of 3 4 acres planted
in cotton after peas with 60b
pounds of phosphate and muriate of
potash made a yield of 600 pounds of
cotton to the acre. On 12 acres of
this same light soil 1,200 bushels of
corn were made with what might be
termed medium fertilizer. It may be
incidenatlly remarked just here that
1 "*** *?? - i - * ?
ine "Williamson pian or corn culture
is included in the progressive details
of this farm.
Mr. Moss has 14 acres in asparagus,
and has been cultivating and
shipping this crop for seven years.
A correct estimate of his business
methods of farming may be easily
inferred from the fact that his net
profits from this field have averaged
$900 per yearr. In addition to these
crops, 'Mr. Moss makes each year fine
grain crops.
Mr. Moss is in no sense a "cottontot,"
and has always believed in diversified
farming. He plants in rotation
each year under his own cultivation
100 acres in cotton, SO acres in
corn, SO acres in oats and 14 acres
in asparagus. Much of the 1,300
acres composing this farm are splendid
timber lands, and, in addition to
what Mr. Moss plants himself, he
rents a large portion of the land to
tenants and farms on shares with a
good many oiners. duiii? iniereauug
details can be mentioned here. For
instance, Mr. Moss lias long been a
breeder of cotton seed, and showed
me something less than a bushel of
seed which he said $500 would not
buy. I paid a visit to his smokehouse,
and when I saw the hams,
shoulders, sides, sausage, lard and
less profusion filling up a large
smoke-house, I was reminded at once
of the wonderful stories of antebellum
days. ,
Young Mr. Moss has been a stock
raiser for some years, and now he
has bought the very finest breeds of
registered stock and intends to make
this a special feature of his farm. He
has a heard of short-horn cattle,
nunnbering in the neighborhood of 60
or 75, and this herd contains some
of the very finest registered stock
that can be seen anywhere. The shipments
in the last years, have averaged
30 or 4 0 annually, in addition
to what was sold in the neighborhood.
A splendid lot of Berkshire hogs
were next seen, and Mr. Moss, in i
sneakine: of these said: "It is mv
intention to have the best Berkshire
bops in the State, and that is just <
what I am going to have." When
one meets and talks with this progressive
young farmer who is a college
graduate, sees his energy and i
ability and learns what ho purposes
to do it is easily seen that here is a i
young farmer of whom South Caro- <
lina will one day be proud. , <
In addition to the hogs and cattle, I
Mr. tMoss had some of the finest 1
young mule and horse colts I have 1
aver seen. These were all home- 1
raised, and no finer specimen could I
00 found anywhere. The horse pas- 1
;ure contained about four acres, and 1
his had a splendid growth of Ber- i
niida grass. This also had a large i
growth of pecan trees. Mr. Moss is i
enthusiastic over Bermuda grass. He i
lays he can graze on this four acres a
lot leas than 20 or 25 horse*, and

BUT HE WILL NOT BE
The Senator Has a Chat With Governor
Blease, Which is Said to Have
Iieen Brief But Friendly?Will Not
Attend Special Session When It
Meets.
Senator Tillman says that the only
thing that can carry him back to
Washington for the extra session is
to eee a Democratic senator from
Main sworn In. Senator Hale, who
is to bo succeeded by Senator Johnson,
speaks very highly of his successor.
The Columbia Record says:
The senior senator from South
Carolina is looking very much better
than he did a few months ago, but
he has been told that it will be best
for hie health not to return to Washington
?and enter upon the activities
of the special session; still, It may be
that the call will be too strong for
him, when the fighting begins. There
is nothing now In a tariff fight, however,
says the senator, and he has 110
appetite for gnawing aji old bone.
In the opinion of Senator Tillman,
the minority leadership in the senate
ought to be conferred on Senator
Hailey, for whose ability he has a
very considerable admiration, but
there is, as he expresses it, a coterie
in the senate which is jealous of the
Texas senator and It is not likely the
honor will go to him. It would be
unprecedented to make a new senator
the leader, the "pillars of the
temple would fall about our ears, '
says the senator, if that were done,
and it may be that Senator Culberson
will be again made minority leader.
Some Appropriations.
Senator Tillman succeeded in having
an appropriations of $60,000
made for the dredging out of the
mouth to the dry dock of the Charleston
navy yard. The navy department
experts have been claiming that
there is a deposit of silt in the river
opposite the dry dock's mouth which
prevents large Ships going Into the
dock and the purpose of this appropriation
is to have the silt removed.
Inasmuch as there was no river and
harbor bill passed at the recent session,
there was no appropriation
made for the general improvement of
the Charleston harbor, and this will
not he available until the next regu1
. 1 1 3 V
tar Ht'SHion, wnen a nv?rs uuu iiurbors
bill will be brought in.
Senator Tillman, however, had had
put in the special appropriation bill
an item of $17,000 for the Port Royal
station and he intended to look after
the item when the bill went to
conference, but the conference committee
met late at night when the
South Carolina senator was absent
and the item was lost in that way.
For the marine barracks at Fort
Moultrie the senator had put in the
bill an appropriation of $6,000, which
remains and will be available aftei
the first of July.
A new thing for South Carolina
will be the fish hatchery which is
provided for by an appropriation of
$2,500 in the sundry civil appropriation
bill. It will be left to the officials
of the department to determine
where this fish hatchery will be located,
.bait it will probably be in the
that other farmers should not fail to
plant Bermuda grass. The hog pasture
is large and splendidly euipped,
and in this mulberry trees take the
place of pecan trees.
As might be easily inferred every
Hnf ail r?f f h ia fa rm 1c in bnnninor with
VIVtUil VL tlliu I UI in t II fiwpiu^ n t til
what has been mentioned. I saw two
of the finest poultry yards I ever
expect to see anywhere, the one being
filled with partridge cochen chickens
being hard to eual. These birds are
perfect in plumage and size, and Mr.
Moss makes as much a specialty of
pure breeding here as he does in the
other departments.
The drainage was used all over
this beautiful farm, which added
much to its beauty and usefulness.
Of course the latest farming utensils
were used here?sulky plows, corn
shelters, reapers, rakes, sweep-hayrake,
feeder, stacker, hay balers?in
fact,'everything modern pertaining to
the cultivation of crops. I did not
Bee a stump in any field, and have
never seen a prettier farm. The
farm house was a fine specimen of a
country home, showing up white and
beautiful against the dark green
background of the woods. Waterworks
and sewerage were here, and
acetylene gas furnished the lights.
Within this home I found all Ihe
graces and culture which belong to
our representative families, and your
correspondent will long remember
the cordial and courteous hospitality
which greeted him. This splendid
work was begun by Capt. J. M. Moss, i
but is now being carried on successfully,
energetically and thoroughly j
by his active young son, Thos. C. <
Moss. It seems to your correepondng

BLOWS UP THE TOWN
DYNAMITE SHOCKS WRECK VILLAGE
IN WISCONSIN.
Nearly Every House in Village of 700
Inhabitants Carried Down by Force
of Concussions.
Smouldering ruins and the wrecks
of cottages strew the site of the
little village of Pleasant Prairie, Wis.,
where Friday night the magazines ot
the Dupont de Nemours Power Company
exploded, killing at least one
man, injuring 200 persons, causing
damage of $1,500,000 with a radius
of. 100 miles, and rocking seven
States.
While the officers of the company
assert that all the employes except
E. S. Thompson, a foreman, were ac- j
counted for, three or tne men couiu |
not be found after the explosion.
Pleasant Prairie is ten miles west
of Kenosha, Wis. The powder mill is
a mile north of the village. The force
of the explosion completely demolished
the houses on Geneva roan,
which were nearest the mill, and
every house in the village was wrecked.
Almost equal damage das done in
Bristol, four miles west.
Blown from their beds and with
the wrocage of their houses tumbling
about them the residents of
Pleasant Prairie loaded their half
clad families on farm wagons and
moved in a long procession in search
ui ?iitji ici in ivcuuniia.
The escape of Supt. Clarence Brady
was remarkable. He was in the soda
house with Engineer Flynn at the
time of,the explosion. The men were
blown through the building and landed
011 the roof of the adjoining magazine.
This exploded instantly, and
Brady and Flynn, the latter badly injured,
were thrown a hundred feet
from the building. Flynn suffered
inteinal injuries and inhaled poisonous
fumes. Ilis condition is precarious.
Brady escaped practically unscathed.
Brady's wife of three months in
his residence a mile from the works,
was badly cut 1>y broken glass and
bruised by falling debris. That the
powder in the plant was being rushed
through on a hurry order from the
government for use in the Texas
frontier was. denied Friday night by
Supt. Brady. When daylight gave a
clear view of the ruins it was seen
that the fire was out.
Three holes marked the sites
where three of the magazines han
stood. The holes were each more
than fifty feet across and as deep.

une nau wronen into a spring anu was
half full of water. Part of the engine
house and the hundred foot
brick chimney of the plant still stand.
The village was almost completely
deserted by women and the men here
went hungry. Not only are most of
the stores blown down and broken up,
but the supply of food is so scattered
as to be of little use.
The district school house near the
village was wrecked. It was not necessary
to dismiss school, however,
for of the 45 pupils all but a halt
dozen either were too injured to attend
or had moved with their parents
during the night to places of safety.
A steel cylinder, thought to have
been used in the glazing room, was
hurled through the air and crashed
through the roof of the general store, 1
two miles away, tearing a hole five '
feet in diameter through the roof,
the first and second floor and into
the earth. H. A. King, in an adjoining
room, was thrown to the floor
unconscious by the shock. Roads and
fields in the vicinity are strewn with
boulders, some of which weigh several
hundred pounds.

Senator Tillman is very much 1
pleased on account of the election of *

College. He attended the recent 1
meeting of the Clemson board and 1
was gratified that the board unani- 1
mously came to his opinion that Mr. 1
Riggs is (he best man for the presi- *
dency. The senator considers that
his long familiarity with the condi- *
tions at Clemson, his magnetic per- (
sonality and his youth and energy '
will enable Mr. Kiggs to accomplish (
a great deal as the head of the insti- 1
tution. lie has been acting president 1

USE BIG SUM
Congress Appropriates Orer Oie Billiti
Dollars Last Sessita.
??
NEAR THE ESTIMATES
According to Both Tawney and Livihgston
This Exceeds President
Taft's Figure's by Only One Million
iXofllars When lie Estimated
Amount to Bun the Government.
Appropriations at the last session
of congress aggregated $1,025,4 98,
oo^, ua'uruiMK iu txit; muit?uieiiiB issued
Friday by Former Keprosentativov
Tawney of Minnesota and Livingston
of Georgia, who wero respectively
chairmen and ranking
Democrat of the house appropriations
committee in the last congress. Mr.
Tawney saying this is less
than $1,000,000 in excess of the
total estimates of President Taft on
which tho appropriations are based,
pays high tribute to the executive
for good faith in scrutinizing estimates
and computes that the surplus
of revenues next year will be not
less than $26,54 2,000, which, with
any part of the treasury cash balance,
may be applied to the sinking fund.
Against this Mr. Livingston s\ys
the last session record demonstrated
that when the Democratic party
comes into complete control of the
government, "this billion dollar mark
for a session's appropriations established
four years ago at the first session
of the Sixtieth congress, can not
be substantially lowered, if lowered
at all."
Mr. Tawney renews his recommendation
for the consolidation of the
appropriating jurisdiction of the
house under a single committee 01
sufficient size to be representative of
all sections of the country and of all
branches of the public service. Eight
committees now consider and report
appropriation bills and Mr. Tawney
says no reform is more important.
The committee on appropriations,
which reports more than half of the
total appropriations of congress, reported
during the first regular session
of the last congress $16,933,925
less than the estimates, while the appropriations
by all the other appropriating
committees, according to Mr.
Tawney, were $27,931,402 in excess
of the estimates. Mr. Tawney claims
that if this consolidating reform had
been effected, it would have saved
$62,000,000 at that session alone.
Mr. Tawney says one of the evils
incident to this divided appropriation
jurisdiction is the practice of making
appropriations immediately available,
largo portions of many appropriation
hills being in fact designed to cover
up deficiencies in the preceding year.
He points out that the aggregate for
the past session, which includes $4,000,000
for the Appalachian forest
reserve, is $2,500,000 less than the
aggregate for tho preceding session
of congress and that the aggreate
of the entire last congress, which exact
aggregate is not given in his
statement, Is an increase of $600,000
over the preceding congress.
iMr. Tawney says that in the six
years of his chairmanship of the ap
propriations committee the estimates
have amounted to $6,061,257,132, of
which congress granted all but $165,662,2G4.
Declaring that the Democrats want
to save the people of this country
from the danger which threatens
them because of the rampant expenditure
of their money that has been
going on for the past 12 years, Mr.
Livingston in his statement contends
that militarism is a menace and that
Democratic accession will prevent national
bankruptcy. He says it is a
superhuman task to restore expenditures
to a normal level because of the
enormous liability fastened upon the
reasury "by the statutory increase of
the enlisted strength of the army and
navy four-fold since Mr. Roosevelt
was so unhappily called to the execuive
office of the republic."
Sounding a note of warning
\gainst "threatened onerous" direct
ax with all its inquisitorial feature,
dr. Livingston said that if that day
omes. "the people will rise in their
night with a cry that will ne heard
o the remotest corners of the earth
md shako from themselves and their
posterity the manacles of burdeniome
taxation fostered by the Repubican
party. That day is not distant
in less we stop install ter in this preipitatious,
money wasting race wo
ire now engaged in."
Mr. Livingston says the nations of
he old world stand agape and wonler
over the magnitude of appropriitions
and Increased federal activity.
\o compares appropriations for the
iMfty-third congress, the last Domoratic
one, aggregating $1)17,013,523,
rith those of the past congress for
he two fiscal years of 1011 and 19 12,
ggregating $2,053,391,291 and dolares
that In 12 years there has
teen more than 5 00 per cent inreaso
in all expenditures, the army
nd navy each increasing more than
00 por cent. He bespeaks for the
acomlng Democratic house economy,
articularly in those government deartments
relating to the enormous

FARMERS' UNION
^ /
PRESIDENT BARRETT TELLS OF
1 ITS GOOD WORK.
+ r
Says They Have Made Federal Congress
Sit Up and Take Notice??Situation
Changed.
"That the power of the farmer,
long held in cold sortage, has been
' brought forth," and made its effect
i felt on congress, Is tho statement
made by President Charles S. Barrett,
of the Farmers' National union,
in a letter issued to the members of
the organization. Tho letter follows
in full:
To the officers and members of tho
Farmers' Union: Your national and
state officials who have been working
in Washington this winter in behalf
of the Farmers' Union have
found that congress is growing more
responsive to the demands of the
American farmer than at any time lm
its history.
That we have not written demands
of the farmers' Union into legislation
is due, not to lack of influence,
but to the congestion inevitable with
a short session and the demoralization
consequent upon pending political
changes.
So far as a parcels post is concerned,
I am convinced that that
measure, in a national and not a rural
sense, is nearer than any of our
members, or than, say, of the politicians,
imagine.
The lobby against the parcels post
has shot its bolt. It has exhausted
its amniutation. If an extra session
is called, congress will in all probability
enact a general parcels po3t.
If there is no extra session, the
chances are strong that a general
parcels post will be authorized at the
regular session next December.
If yon will dig up the letters I
published last winter from congressmen.
you will find that in nearly
every instance they gave non-commital
replies to the question regarding
a parcels post.
Rut the situation has changed.
At any moment, you may expect a
battalion of statesmen to proclaim
loudly that they have all along been
In favor of a parcels post. Next, vou
may expect them to work for it with
a vim.
The explanation of this singular
about face as an easy one.
The congressman has heard from
the farmer! Representatives and
senators from nearly all the states
have been literally bombarded| with
letters from their farmer constituents.
The power of the farmer, long held
in "cold storage," has been brought
forth! The result was inevitable.
I regard this spectacle as a vindication
of my often repeated declaration
that the farmer has only to make
himself heard to have his wants supplied?in
a congressional sense.
It takes the spur to make the congressman
live up to his campaign
promises. The farmer is finding out
how to use the spur.
In this connection, you ought to
know the strange effect that officeholding
and life in Washington had
upon congressmen.
We have particularly noticed during
this session, the mild and tame
conduct of some of tho representatives
who were genuine fire-eaters on
the stump.
Whilo they were appealing for
your votes they pawed dust like a
stallion, promised to reform everything
overnight, and to "start something"
the moment they were sworn,
in.
Rut, lo! tho change the moment
they get in congress! Then, with
many of them, the principal object ia
to panhandle a few little jobs for
constituents, sneak up on some little
committee assignment keep free seed
going, glut the mails with agricultural
bulletins and free government publications,
and have a good time
themselves.

closely and you will generally find
the subject is a trivial one, that it
won't hurt anybody, and that all the
sand-raising is to make the folks at
homo believe their faithful servant
isn't asleep at the switch.
There are some strong, energetic
and loyal congressmen, it is true. I
believe their number are increasing.
But they need to be increased still
more rapidly, if the farmer wants
to got the service to which he is entitled.
The country gets no better or more
active congressmen than it deserves.
If you are not satisfied with the

your own soul as to how far you are
personally responsible for dieting an
in com potent!
If they kill the anti-cotton gambling
bill at the present session, we
have good prospects to pass it at an
extra session in next December.
It is certain to be eventually enacted.
I have the assurance of some
of the best informed congressmen for
this assertion.
For their ability and loyalty, and
timeless co-operation, I owe a debt
of thanks to your national and state
officials and other prominent worker#
who have assisted in our dealings
with congress this winter.
