Holmes of the Conway, S. C., post ollice says that the sustained popularity of government savings securities in tho Fifth Federal .Reserve District is indicated by a report just received from Howard T. Cree, government director of savings for the district. According to the director, the people of this district invested in nearly three-fourths of ;i million dollars worth of Treasury hVivin^s certificates during the month <>f May. The exact figures compiled from 2HI post offices and in the Federal K<* erve Bank of Richmond are #718,(183. This a highly favorable contrast with the receipts from the sale of savings securities in May, 11)21, which vvei'e only $101,208. The amount of' these certificates Bold in May, 1022, for each state is as follows: Virginia, $150,275; West Virginia, $153,625; Nprth Carolina, $1?2,625; District of Columbia, $112,-1 22r>; Maryland, ?38,983; Solith Carolina, $27,'125. In addition there were sold through the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond $101,525, making a giand total of $718,083. "This sum of nearh three-fourths of a million .dollars," said the postmaster, "will mature and may be collected in May, l!>27, and the original investment will increase 25 per cent in the five years. This is an exhibition of financial wisdom which should be imitated by thousands of others who, in vain hope of getting rich quick, put their savings in schemes of questionable character when there is no certainty of return of either principal or interest.

Owens, for whom a requisition was recently asked and granted under a warrant alleging the disposing of nroperty under lien, was reported as being back in Gallivant's Ferry township the end of last week. Recently a news item appeared in the Columbia State about the time that the requisition was granted by Governor Harvey. It is supposed that this item was read by the preacher at his home in Florida, or his attention called to it by friends or relatives in this county. Upon learning of the fact that a warrant had been issued for his arrest he came back and offered to make bond for his appearance at court. o Uood Art. lood art always consists of two fhlngs: First, the observation.of fact; secondly, iln* manifesting of human design and authority In the way that faet is told.

The circu\ar, which* was prepared by Prof. C. P. Blackwell, agronomist, and S. L. Jeffords, specialist in pastures and forage crops, discusses briefly varieties, soil adaptation, soil preparation, methods of planting, inoculation, fertilzers, liming, time of planting, rate of seeding, methods of cultivation, time and methods of harvesting, harvesters, etc. The soy bean is a safe crop, says the circular, because it is easily cultivated, and is subject to few diseases and is bothered by few insect pests. It has many uses, and if there is no market for the seed it can be fed to any kind of live stock, is a good crop to plow under for soil building and can even be used as food for people.
