The Florence Times Says: "The a
torney for Mr. Sherwood is not sui
whether he will appeal from the d
cision of the State Democratic Ex
cutive committee, which yesterda
seated Mr. Stoll in Congress fromtl
Sixth district, or not. We hope I
will not. As fhr as the public is coi
cerned there is nothing to be gain<
from a continuance of this fight, ar
from the evidence that has bet
brought out so far regarding the coi
duct of the election the courts coul
do no more than uphold the decisic
of the committee as declared in Co
umbia yesterday. Mr. Sherwood, <
course, might view the matter diffe
ently. We believe he has been coi
scientious in carrying his case totf
democratic executive committee, ar
is naturally disappointed that th
number of votes concerned in h
protest were not numerous enoug
to outweigh those contested by M
Stoll. But counts and recounts, ar
canvasses and recanvasses ha\
shown that Stoll has a majority, ar
there the matter should be allows
to rest. If the contest is to be coi
vinued the best thing to do would 1
to arrange some way for anoth<
primary. This does not seem to I
practicable, however, but even if
were the sentiment in the district a]
. pears now to be such that Stoll's w
jority would be increased considers
bly."
The County Record agrees full
'with the Times in the Stoll-Sherwoc
election controversy. There may hai
been errors and irregularities in tl
second primary, this is true of at
primary, yet we feel sure there wj
no intentional fraud. We don't b
liieve Mr.Sherwood would countenan<
or knowingly permit an unfair &<
Tranfocro hpin<r taken of an ODDonen
A long and intimate personal a
quantance with Mr. Stoll confirms 01
belief in his honesty and integrit
Delief in this honesty and integrit;
and v.-e feel quite sure that he, woul
refuse the nomination if he were n<
justly and honorably entitled to it.
To two circumstances, the irregular
ties were due, the soldier vote ar
the fence question in Georgetow
It is regretable that they should hai

test

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS. !
i
Edited by T. M. Cathcart j
Crop rotation is the foundation on
lich permanent agriculture is built.
?low are six reasons why the one
op system is unsafe and why the'
rmer should abandon this for more
? to date farming.
First. Because the system depends.
>on the market and crop conditions
the one crop alone. Failure of
op or failure of market alike pring
rious disaster.
second. Because n aue> nut prude
for the maintenance of soil ferity.
Third. Because it fails to provide
sufficient livestock industry to conme
the waste products of the farm
id make its waste iands productive.
Fourth. Because it does not prode
a system of farm management
ider which labor, teams and tools
ay be used to the fullest advantage.
Fifth. Because it brings returns in
sh but once a year instead of turng
the money over more than once
year.
Sixth. Because it does not produce
e necessary foods to supply the
ople upon the farm and keep them
health and strength.
The season for planting fall oats
at hand and farmers are reminded
treat all oat seed for smut before
anting. At very little cost and
>uble Several bushels per acre in the
tal yield can thus be saved. The
llowing methods are recommended:
Dry method: Mix one pint of foraldehide
with one pint of water and
e in small hand sprayer. Atomizer
rayers can be purchased for 50 to
cents. Spray the solution on grain
this is being shoveled over, holdg
sprayer close to grain and takg
caret that the mist is well disbuted.
One quart of solution will

;ated, rhovel into a pile, and carelly
cover for five hours as directed
der the wet method. The grain
ly be ao~n immediate1'* after the
iatmeit, or allow>i to air thorghlv
and stored in disinfected
cks or bin* until nee led
Wet method: Sprinkle seed until
oroughly moist fith solution of one
it nf formaldehide to 40 gallons of
iter, shoveling over repeatedly to
stribute moisture evenly. Forty
lions will treat 60 bushels. Shovel
to a pile and cover with sacks for
o hours, or over night. Dry by
reading in thin layer and stirring
:asionally with rake. Seed may be

rough the drill, setting the drill to
w about 2 pecks more per acre to
ow for swollen condition of grain,
to be stored for 7 days or langer,
y thoroughly, disinfect sacks, and
ill, to prevent reinfection of seed.
Unclean milk is especially dangers
during warm weather. Remember
it the sun is an excellent disinfectl
agent. Sun the milk and cream
ensils after washing.
If you take the painsnecessary to
iking good butter, go a bit farther
d put it up in attractive packages.
No matter how good the pastures
ly be, continue to feed the dairy
w some grain during the summer,
ed about one pound of grain to
ery 3 pounds of milk produced. If
u have too few cows to make a
o pay, do not forget to plant some
5t crops to serve as succuleny feed
fall and winter. Mangels, stock
ets and turnips are recommended,

Paid For Them.

CAMORES FOR SHADE TREES

any people do not really appreciate.

encouraged, the magazine urges.
The largest shade tree in this
untry is a sycamore at Worthingn,

found, at least in the Middle West,
it it isn't the only "grand old sycaore"
to be found; there are thounds
and thousands of them in this
untry.
The sycamore requires plenty of
oisture, but moisture is easily supied
in a modern city. Besides, the
ee has a habit of reaching out afr
moisture, its roots extending for
ng distances and going deep into
