lap to the cotton farmers of not only
York county, but throughout tbe
s?uth. "Evan thbhgh you want to
plant cotton again next spring you can
plow the cover crop under and the
Increase in fertility of your soil will
more, than repay for the expense of
needing. Again it Will pat all farm
ers in a position .where they can plant
or not plant cotton. E3 In their Judg
i ment sems best," he Bays.
Mr> Dunlap in on Interview this
morning gave quite a number of roa
eons why. oats and wheat ; should b?
Sown between the cotton rows this
fall A summary of these, isi that the
farmer's next spring will no^'be com
pelled to rely on cotton, regardlesss of
price they can get two crops oh* the
soil, will be : utilize i by growing oats.
Wheat, etb., and the soil will bo great
ly enriched at any event. ?
A. number of cotton planters around
Rock Hill have already announced
their intention of drilling oats be
tween their " cotton. rows and it is ex
pected . that - several thousand acres
\ will be- drilled-.this fail in, this im

,co8s,can bo followed In sowingswhflw.
?n case tho war continues anil Tfie
cotton grown i?ia\pnr ?iS'hct be i&t

Who Is To Be.
Presiding Judge!
Somo discussion has been heart
around Anderson within tho last, few
days hh to who will bo the presiding
Judge at the next torm of lio court ol
General sessions for And rson, whlci
convenes on Monday, 8< jtember tb<
7th. Some bt the attorneys wore un
der the impression that Judge Join
S. Wilson would come to Anderson
for this term, while others thought It
was time, for Judge Memmlnger tc
come. Judge Prlnco yesterday stated
that neither of these'gentlemen would
come to Anderson for the approaching
term as the roster. of Judges shows
that Judge DeVoro will come hero.
This settles the matter, since the ros
ter is the only guide that the Judges
themselves have and therefore Judge
DeVore will probably be in Anderson
next week.
Has Hawkins
A Wife Hero!
According to the people around town
Luther Hawkins, the young white man
who was Just convicted In Greenville
. county on a charge of bigamy, was
sentenced to a term In the State peni
tentiary, once made his home in An
derson and somo have said that he
even now has a wife living in the city.
Hawkins was charged with having five
wives, all told, some of them in
Greenville and others In Georgia.
When ho was arraigned for trial he
entered a plea of guilty and was yes
terday sentenced by .the court.

For First Time
(From Saturday's Dally I
H would be a difficult matter t
estimate In dollars and cents the val
ue of the visit of T. S. Logan. Nations
Secretary of the Travelers Protectiv
Af"oclatlon to this city. Howevei
it bos been definitely announced tha
Mr. Logan will come to Anderson to
a visit and it 1b believed that sonv
date in October will be chosen.
Several weeks ago Feaater V. Trlb
ble, secretary of Post D of this clt;
wrote to the National Association an<
asked that they detail Mr. Logan fo
a visit to this city. At that titm
Mr. Trlbble hardly hoped that I
would be possible for the aecretar:
to get away from his duties, but hi
presented Anderson's claims in sucl
a manner that he yesterday recelvet
a letter from the national headquar
ters in which the T. P. A. stated tha
Mr. Logan would be sent to this city
Mr Logan has written to Mr. Trlb
ble that be will be very glad indeet
to come to Anderson, and says:
"Owing to the great amount of worl
In the national office at this time
it will hardly be possible for the see
retary to visit your division before
October, but if that month will suit
it can be arranged. The writer cat
leave St. Louis on Sunday, Octobei
11 and arrive in your city about Oo
toner 13."
Following receipt of Mr. Logan'i
letter Secretary Trlbble of the Ander,
son post wrote tim to the effect thai
Anderson will take delight In ar.
ranging for his visit during any par!
of October and urges that some date
during that month be chosen.
It Is probable that Mr. Logan will
be Invited to visit a number of othet
points in South Carolina while he la
in IhlB state but members of the An
derson post have already started on
their plana for giving him a more en
thusiastic reception than any other
city In the state can hope to duplicate.
