New Measure Which it Im Hoped tu Paw* at This scmmIoii. / Washington, April 30.?Representa? tive Lever, has Just introduced a new bill In the Interst of the Appalachian and White Mountain reserve. The important features contained In It are explained by him aa follows: "The Judiciary committee. In de? claring the Appalachian-White Moun? tain bills to be unconstitutional, struck the shell, but wholly missed the ker? nel of the Appalachian proposal. "Friends of the measure have care? fully provided a new bill, which In their Judgment avolda the difficulties Involved In the former bills by the committee. "In brief, the new bill which I am introducing to-day provides for a commission to designate and value the lands to be purchased, snd author* laes the Secretary of Agriculture to purchase In his discretion lands thus designated and valued, and ap? propriates $1,500,000. to be immedi? ately available for such purchases, and further provides, for a period beginning July 1, 1909. and ending July 1. 1118, all proceeds from ex? isting national forests, auch revenues to be applied to ths purchase of Ap? palachian-White Mountain lands. "The con mission shall consist of the forester of the department of agriculture; the chief of the engineers of the war lepartment, the director of the geological survey, the director of the1 reclamation service, and the ilstant Attorney General for the department of the Interior, ,who, un? der the direction of the president, shall investlgste, designate/value and report to blm upon Appalachian. Whits Mountain Lands to be acquired and kept In forested condition in or? der to oonaerve and Improve the navlgabfl|ty of the/livers. This com? mission shall consult with such State officials as the governor of the State shall designate. "The secretary of agriculture may acquire by gift or purchase such lands aa are shown to have a direct connection with the conservation and the Improvement of the navigability I of the rivers of ths United States, that hsve their source or tributary streams In -the Southern Appalachian - and White Mountains. The owner may teserve the minerals and the timber. No payment shall be made until the title to the land shall be satisfactory I to ths Attorney General. Betwefn btnda of equal value the lowest bid I shall be accepted, the Secretary retain? ing the right to reject bids. The Ins; the right to reject bids. Ths Legis? lature In each State concerned most first hsve consented to ths acquisi? tum of the lands In question. Small areas, valuable for sgriculture Inclu Oed In the forest reservation may be offer by the S^ecrcetary of Agriculture for sale as homesteads to actual net tiers In tracts of eighty acres or less. It Is not the Intention of this Act to Include farm or Improved lands and r.one shall be acquired except upon the consent of the owner thereof. "The State shall retain Its civil and crlnyfnal Jurisdiction over lands thus bought and the inhabitants shall re? tain their rights and privileges as clt lssns. snd ths United fitstes shall have complete Jurisdiction, to admin? ister as forest reservations In aid of navigation, and of offences sgalnst the United Ststes. "Ten per centum of all the receipts from these forest reservations shall be* pa Id to the States in which the re? serves are situated and be expended as the Legislature may prescribe. Ths Secretary of Agriculture may admin? ister private forest lands situated up? on water-sheds whereon lands are per manently reserved, on the condition that the owners shall cut the tim? ber thereon only under Government rules and regulations. "To carry out the provisions of ths Act one and one-half million dollars will be made Immediately available out of the funds in the treasury and until expended. "There is further appropriated, to be available July 1. 1909. and on July 1 each year thereafter until 1918, out of the treasury funds, a sum equal to the receipts from sales and pro? ducts of existing national forests for the previous fiscal year, and to be available until expended, to further carry out the provisions of this Act. "It is hoped that the agriculture committee will promptly consider this measure and report favorably upon It. It rests now upon them. In the event of a favorable report from the committee the speaker under his power may promote or detain the dispatch of the bill. Notwithstanalng the brevity of the remainder of the session. It is hoped that this bill may vet be enacted."

MAI'S OF SUMTEK AM) LEE COUNTIES COMPLETED. Mr. Frank Bennett Who Made the Survey Now Engaged In Practical Expert mental Work In Sumter, Lee, Orangeburg and Calltoun Counties. Mr. Frank Bennett, of the United States department of agriculture, bu? reau of soils, states that the soil maps of Sumter and Lee counties which he 1 compiled in early fall of last year, ] will be out some time this summer. These maps do not only show the lo? cation of the different characters of soil, but are also very valuable as county maps, all of the streams, towns, railroads, county roads, churches, school houses, etc being shown. These I will be the first accurate mape that have ever been made of these coun? ties. It will be remembered that Mr. Bennett is now following up these soil surveys with experiments in ) Sumter, Lee, Calhoun and Orange burg counties. He is experimenting with and. studying the adaptation of certain fertilizer formulas to the va? rious characters of soils encountered In these counties. It is generally true that each soil requires a different fertilizer, depending on the crops grown. Every farmer has a number of different kinds of soil, therefore he should have various mixtures of fer? tilizers suitable to the conditions, and this can only be determined by ex? periments. Where a rotation of crops is practiced the fertilizer for? mulas should be changed each year, as the plant food required will vary, some plants adding fertility to the soil while others take it out. The method of applying the ferti? lizer and 'the amount to apply with the greatest profit is another import? ant problem. Some farmers apply half their fertilizer before planting and the other half after the cotton begins to grow, and think this meth? od very profitable, while others can't see any material difference where it Is all applied at once. Mr. Bennett states that he does not think there Is any doubt but that two applications will pay on many of the soils that he Is working with, especially the san dy-lsachy soils. The heavier or clay soils are better able to hold the fer tlllser and so much difference between one and two applications [will not be observed. , h Mr. Bennett ?has several farmers In each county who are co-operating with him In this work, and they are very much Interested. He also stated that he was unable to meet all of the demands for co-ope? ration. Later on he expects to experi? ment with some of the clovers, vetch? es, alfalfa and celery, on the various soils. ' Mr. Bennett was sent here by the agricultural department with the pur? pose of aiding the farmers and he will be glad^ to assist or give all in? formation that is possible to those de? siring it The soil maps and agrlcultral re? ports of Sumter and Lee counties will be free and can be secured through Congressman Lever. The work that Mr. Bennett has already done, is doing now, and the rapidly growing work that he hus planned for the future' Is almost in? valuable to the farmers of Sumter and adjacent counties. He is laying the foundation for scientific farming along practical lines that experience has demonstrated to yield the max? imum of profit at least expense. The soil survey that he made la9t year ac? curately located and the maps show In detail the various tyoes of soli found in Sumter and Lee counties. Beference to the map enables a farmer to ascertain exactly ?ie char? acter of soil on his farm and knowing this he knows what sort of ? fertilizer to apply and when and how to apply It. The experimental work now being conducted by Mr. Bennett demon? strates the value of scientific method! when applied to farming, ;. id the re? sults will be clearly a~l In I r.'gentlv noted and set out in i , ovu that wl?l be issued by the department of agri? culture, These report- will be hend bookr of farming for the farmers ? f tro'fc counties and will lift th*j cu'.ii vatlon of the soil above I he bit or miss haphazard affair that ;t has hf*.?tofore been and make it approx? imately an exact science. t'he work that Mr. Bennett i* do? ing Is appreciated by the farmers and future benefits that they will de? rive will make them more apprecia? tive. Biliousness mid Constipation. ?For years I was trouble with bil? iousness and constipation, which made life miserable for me. My ap? petite failed me. I lost my usual force and vitality. Pepsin preparations and cathnrtlcs only made matters worse. I do not know where I should have been today had I not tried Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.

Fi Maybank, Representative of the company, Suys Thai Charles? ton is Not Likely to Lose Any Busi? ness?Thinks Reorganization of Inman ?& Co. Will 80011 Take Place. The announcement of the failure f Inman St Co., a cotton firm doing siness in the South extensively and some years past having practi lly controlled the exporting of cot from this port, was received with rprise in Charleston yesterday. Mr. John F. Maybank, the local repre? sentative of the firm, had not up to a late hour received official notice of the suspension, and had only rumors Monday night and the press reports of yesterday morning to guide him, and seemed to be greatly surprised at the conditions stated. He express? ed himself as being confident that the firm wouM be reorganized and busi? ness resumed. Discussing the situation, Mr. May bank said that a change was about to be made in the conduct of the cotton business at this port, and that after September 1 the firm of Maybank & Co. would be actively in the field, se? curing cotton at interior points and delivering it at foreign points at the least possible cost. The company mentioned, with the intention of in creasihg the business of the port to the greatest possible limit, had, in conjunction with the Charleston Com? press and Warehouse Company and the Charleston Trans-Atlantic Steam? ship Company, planned to handle ev? ery bale of cotton that can possibly be brought this way. "The cotton interests of Charles? ton," said Mr. Maybank yesterday, "will not be In the least disturbed and I am confident that not a dollar is lost here by the failure of the firm of In? man & Co. Even if the men concern? ed should decide 'not to reorganize Charleston will not be the loser. The Charleston Warehouse and Compress Company ia already obligated to han? dle cotton up to Its greatest capacity and with the Trans-Atlantic Steam? ship Company we expect to have fre? quent sailing with full cargoes. The firm of Maybank & Co. is organized for the purpose* of buying and ex? porting cotton, and we are prepared to work hard for the betterment of the port and general conditions. While I have, personally, been the salaried representative of Inman & Co. here, conditions will change any? way on September 1, and the busi? ness of that firm will be taken care of the aame as that of any other large firm desiring our assistance in secur? ing cargoes. We will work independ? ently, but would not, of course, re. fuse to do business with Inman & Co." In an interview Mr. John F. May bank, manager"of Inman & Co.'s agency here, said that, in his opin? ion, the suspension of the firm would not entail a loss to any individuals or firms in this section. "Inman & Co.," said Mr. Maybank, "has trans? acted but little business here since the death of Mr. W. P. Inman during the month of November last. Mr. James F. McGowan, formerly of this Ftate, who has complete manage ment of the firm of Inman & Co., Is one of the ablest men in the cotton trade, and . there is no question but what this business will be reorgonlz ed in a short time on a firm basis. "Inman & Co. have been conduct lng one of the largest exporting busi? nesses in America, with offices at va? rious European ports, and would at this writing be one of the foremost cotton firms of the world were it not for a combination of circumstances over which Mr. McGowan had no con? trol." Mr. Maybank said that several large firms have been organized here recently to conduct an export ship ping business on a large scale. These firms have recently contracted with salaried representatives throughout North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, who will represent thei principal's Interest in the shipping of cotton to this port. The Charleston Compress and Wharf Company has contracted to handle volume of business through thei press and warehouses exceeding an amount that has been handled b them heretofore.?News and Cou rier. nie Most Common Cause of Suffering ?Rheumatism causes more pain an suffering than any other disease, fo the reason that it is the most com mon of all ills, and it is certainl gratifying to sufferers to know that Chnmberlaln's Pain Balm will afford relief, and make rest and sleep pos slble.

Judge Praises Suinter'8 Court House In Charge to Grand Jury. In his charge to the grand Jury at the opening of court in Greenville or. Monday Judge Prince referred to Sumter's Court House in compliment? ary terms. Judge Prince next touched upon the question/of a new county court house. He declared that the pres? ent building was a disgrace to such a wealthy county. He said that in Sumter they had erected a new court house at a cost of $130,000, which was the finest In the State. ?'And now," he declared, "any can? didate who would dare admit that he was opposed to the erection of that grand building would not get 100 votes In the county. People do not object to paying taxes to raise money to be expended in good purposes. "A fine court house would not on? ly be an improvement to your city, but it would cause the criminal class? es to have a higher respect for law and order when they should come into a magnificently appointed court house; a building that any man would feel that he was worse than a dog to spit tobacco Juice upon." Judge Prince declared that he had ^notified the constables in Sumter to arrest any man caught In the act of spitting on the floor. "They have a notice stuck up on the dorn." he declared "making it a five dollars fine to spit on the floors or walls. I directed the constables to arrest any man caught In the act of spitting in that fine building, and I would not make It a five dollars fine. U would e be at least $25 and mor? if the man's pocket book would stand for li."
