Its executive committee request ed Julian H. Scarborough, treas urer, and James H. Hope, state sup erintendent of education, to sus pend the issuance of the $3,394,000 in notes until the issue could be stabilized. * The executive committee acted after it had reports that plans were underway throughout the state to buy the notes at heavy liscounts. The teachers were to be offered 95 cents and less on the dollar, the committee said it had learned. The state treasurer conferred with a sub-cimmittee appointed by A. C. Flora, of Columbia, president of the association, and afterward said that 12 more days would be required to issue the notes and that he would co-operate in help ing stabilize them during that time. Hampton Home And Inn Are Destroyed SYLVA, N. C., May 7.—The sum mer home of General Wade Hamp ton, noted Confederate leader, built many years ago, and the High Hampton Inn were destroyed Thursday by fire of undetermined origin. Damage was estimated at $75,000. The summer home was used as an^nnex to the inn. Erosion Toll 21 Times That Of Animal Crops The plant food removed from the fields and pastures of America ev ery year by erosion is at least twenty-one times more than that removed by the crops harvested, says the United States Department of Agriculture. The plant food taken by crops can be restored in the form of fert ilizer, but that taken by erosion can not be restored, because this ruin ous process takes the whole body of the soil, plant food and all. Land impoverished strictly by plant food depletion, as sometimes results from continuous growing of the clean-tilled crops, is not worn-out land; the only worn-out land 1; that which has been so badly wash ed by erosion that it would be en tirely futile to undertake :'ts rec- laijiation.

Happy Marriage “So you and your wife share alike in the work of getting breakfast?” “Yeah. She burns the toast, and I scrape it.” \. , CLEMSON COLLEGE, May 9.— Where the space for the tomato patch is limited and earliness is desired, best results may be obtain ed by staking the plants, for the iruit ripens earlier and is more uni form in size, says A. E. Schilletter, extension horticulturist. Plants to be staked are pruned *o one or two stems, usually one. To this end it is necessary to go over the patch once a week and pinch out the side shoots which appear in the axils where the leaves join the main stem. This main stem is tied to the stake so the plant will not bend over and break, any soft, twine or narrow strips of cloth be ing used for tying. By pruning and tying in this manner the plants can be more easily cared for they are easier to cultivate, and the fruit more uniform in size and shape than if the plants were al lowed to spread upon the ground. Most tomato growers in the South use stakes about four or five feet in length and one inch or more square, which are split from heart pine. If these stakes are cared for they will last several years.

"We have so much music out home,” answered the loiterer, “that it’s kind of interesting to see somebody punch ing a lot of keys around without starting up some kind of a tune.” CLEMSON COLLEGE, May 9.— Poultrymen are reducing expenses of the poultry flock through the use of home-mixed feeds, which is the best means of competing against low prices of eggs when in gredients may be grown on the farm or readily obtained at prices in line with market conditions, says P. H. Gooding, extension poul- tryman, advising poultry producers of the importance of planting yel low corn for use in poultry feeds. “Vitamin A is a requirement for health and growth of animals. It is also necessary to get the best hatch from eggs. This vitamin is found in abundance in yellow corn, but is not found in white corn. Poultry rations composed of white corn are therefore lacking in this essential factor, Green feed con tains vitamin A, but even when green feed is in abundance, it is best to use yellow corn as a, fur ther safeguard in supplying a suf ficient amount of vitamin A,” the specialist explains. “Each hen in the flock will con sume one bushel of corn, a peck of wheat, and eight pounds of meat scraps. Hence, by estimating the yield of land, one can determine the number of acres to plant to feed the flock. It will also take about 45 bushels of corn and 17 bushels of wheat to feed a brood of 300 chicks and bring 100 pullets to laying age.” XXt W. W. Snioak Is Candidate WALTERBORO, May 7.—W. W.

X Goes to Senate “1 mm I ETl mstt mm LAURENS, May 9.—J. Henry’ Rasor and Lathan and Eugene Crisp were sentenced oo life im prisonment today following their conviction Saturday of the murder of W. C. Rasftr, Henry’s 71-year-old father. Judge Featherstone, who presid ed at the trial, overruled a motion for a new trial and pronounced the sentence the three defendants automatically received when a jury found them guilty of murder and recommended mercy. Attorneys for the- three gave no tice of appeal. Saturday, a notice of a motion for a new trial was made and this morning the attorneys presented £heir case enumerating half a doz en points on which they said a new trial should be granted. Judge Featherstone, however, overruled the motion and sentenc ed the trio to “the state peniten tiary or upon the public works of Laurens county at hard labor oz labor you are able to perform fer the remainder of youi* natural liv es.” Following this, notice of appeal' to the supreme court was taken. The three, all residents of Cross Hill, were convicted of beating to death W. C. Rasor, 71 year old retired business man, at his Cross Hill home the night of last Sep tember 26. They all denied any part in .the crime. It required a little more than two- hours of deliberation for the jurors to reach their verdict. They re ceived the case at a night session ^fter a trial lasting all the week. The state’s key witness' was lamest Hitt, 21-year-old former Cross Hill employe of a dry clean ing establishment who said he led the way to the Rasor home, the; night of the slaying and jumped, through a window when the oth ers followed him in the house.
