SHOl Ll> GROW WINTER LEGUMES Depart meiH of Agrn ulrurc, Through ? Coiigresiiu&n Lever, Offer?* Advice and Assistance to Scuth Carolina Furnier?. Lexington, July 28.?Congressman Lever la In receipt of a letter from the department of agriculture, which should be of particular Interest to far? mers. It Is frum Dr. B. T. Galloway, chief of the bureau, and follows: "We are endeavoring to bring about the greatest use of the winter legumes In the South, especially the vetches and crimson clover. We are sure %hat hese crops, wherever they can be grown succesfully, wi'l be of enor? mous benefit, both on account of their value for hay or pasturage, and be? cause of their ability no add nitrogen to she soil. One method that we find very satisfactory Is to conduct demon? stration acre plots with reliable farmers. The success of such a plot usually encourages him to plant more and his neighbors to follow suit. "We would be glad if you would recommend fifty farmers I In your district to conduct I such experimental plot", each I of one acre, the department to furnish both the seed and the Inocul? ation material. It Is preferable that these co-operators be farmers who I are not already growing the crop. I Also that they be located In easily ac? cessible places so that our field men loan visit ss many as possible In the I spring. We can furnish either the I vetch or the crimson clover alone for lone acre, or one-half acre of each. I Where vetch alone la sent, we shall I usually send both hairy vetch and I commomn vetch. For most of the I South the present evidence is that I vetch is more widely adapted than I crimson clever. Vetch may be sown I'.ny t!me from September to December. I Crimson clover should not be sown Ilster than September 15. "A common source of failure, I both with vetch and crimson clover, Iis due to lack of Inoculation. We are I finding much difficulty In the South in I Inoculating vetch and crimson clover I with pure cultures, and are, there? fore, recommending that soli be used. I Ws hope to complete arrangement I with the experiment station, so that I Inoculated soil can be sent to each I co-operator. "Kindly let us hesr promptly from I you In regard to this matter, so that Iwe can make the necessary reserva? tion of seed. It Is desirable to have I the names of the co-operators at an I early date, and we should prefer to I have the srhole list by September 1. I We shall vrlte fully to each co-operat? or Indicating In the letter, that It be I sent upon your recommendation. **B. T. Galloway." I Speaking of the natter, Mr. Lever I says: "I regard this Is a most import I ant undertaking, perhaps the most I Important ever set on foot by the de? partment of agriculture in the South. I To the practical and observant farm? ier R Is apparent that a winter clover I crop in an absolute necessity, both to I save* the land from washing and to I give the land nitrogen and humus. I The one crop system has extracted practically all of the humus from the I soil, while the necessity for nitrogen, las an element of crop life, means a charge upon the South Carolina farm? er of nearly four mt'llon dollars each I year. It la the opinion of scientists I that the brunt of this burden may be I saved to the farmer through the I growing of legumes, and especially I the winter legume*. This movement I looks to this end and Is In line with I the other work being undertaken by I the department here In the State I through the activities of the State's I representatives in congress. The main I lesson that we want to teach is that I we can grow something besides cot I ton, and the second lesson that we I want to teach is that diversification I In agriculture really helps the cot I ton grower to make his cotton crop a I profit, and that it increases the yield I per acre planted in cotton." With the exception of his leader, Mr. Bryan, no man In the country has been more discussed recently than has Mr. John W. Kern, of In? diana, vice presidential candidate of the Democratic party. Mr. Kern has never before figured largely In na? tional politics, but has been a leader In his own State. The reception given him upon his return to Indian? apolis after his nomination was a fine display of the regard in which he Is held by his own people.

"Fill," ?tili the shady of Gessiler, sternly, "why did you start that apple yarn?" "We'l," replied William Tell, defi? antly, " It didn't do you any ha^in, and I was trying to boost myself to an engagement with the Wild West show." "Now Bill," Gessiler resumed, "I never did like a liar. You know the last apple in the kingdom had been made Into cider, and you were pretty full on it at the time." "I don't care," replied Tell; "you were a tyrant, all right, and if I had existed and had had a son and you had made me shoot an apple off his head, you'd 've got yours fast enough." "Gentlemen, gentlemen," protested a benlgant shade, "no rowing if you pease. What's the use? Didn't they spring the rawest sort of a cherry tree story on me?" "Now, George," said Gessler, "while we're straightening out history we might as well fix that Incident. Did you cut down the cherry tree?" "There was no cherry tree. It was a plum tree. All I did was to shake It. establishing a precedent. But there comes a lady." "Just call me Betsy," said the arri? val. "Betsy Ross, Philadelphia. You used to be there," she added, address? ing herself to Washington. "Say, wouldn't It Jar you? They're saying down here I never made that flag." "But did you?" "Did I? Look at the way the site of my factory has boomed real estate." An ancient shade drew near, and Insisted upon being heard. "Men and poets," he began, "call me Wlnkel rled. Reputed to have gathered a lot of Austrian spears into my bosom, you know. Nothing in it. See that scar on my back? That's the scar of the only spear that touched me, and I wasn't trying to gather it, not on your life." "Aren't you ashamed of having made so much pretense?" "Pretense, nothing," retorted Ar? nold. "I didn't make it. And if the singers of literature wanted to make It I couldn't prevent." "My reputation," chimed in anoth? er, "rests on the credit I get for ringing the Liberty bell. Never rung it either. The bell was out of order t/.e day liberty was born, and liberty has been out of order ever since. I was at Anglesea Ashing, anyhow." "Still,' said Washington, "you will admit that there was a bell?" "Oh, certainly. And it's cracked, but not so badly as the historians." "It seems to me," said Gess'er, "that we're a lot of fakes." "Oh," replied Washington, "never mind. Look at that Denver conven? tion." , "And the Independence League," added Tell. "Don't forget them Colonial Dames," added Betsy, her Up curling.

Adjutant General Pronounces ??Un? qualifiedly False'' Col. Thompson s Statement Tliat Boyd Told Him That He Withdrew From Rate for Colonel of First Regiment Because He Knew He Was Beaten. Gaffney, July 30.?.An audience of about four hundred heard the candi? dates for State offices speak here to? day. The meeting was made interest? ing by a tilt between Adjutant and Inspector General Boyd and Col. Hen? ry T. Thompson, and by a trimming of Cansler, of Tirzah, at the hands of Candlate Flshburne. While Col. Thompson was speak? ing he made the statement that Col. Boyd was not supported by his own regiment when Col. Lewis was elected to the command of the same. Gen. Eoyd said in reply that Lewis was elected colonel on his recommenda? tion. Col. Thompson then aeked Gen. Boyd if he would allow him to tell what he (Boyd) told him at one time. "Tell anything that is the truth," answered Boyd. "You told me," said Col. Thompson, "that the reason you withdrew from the race was because you were beat? en." Gen. Boyd arose and with much feeling, said: "I pronounce that statement as absolutely and unquali? fiedly false." Col. Thompson very calm'y con? tinued his speech until his time ex? pired. Gen. Boyd, in his reply, re? iterated his statement that he did not make the remarks attributed to him i by Col. Thompson. Cansler, of Tirzah, paid his re? spects to each of the candidates for railroad commissioner in turn, ridi? culing them and exciting much laugh? ter. Mr. Fishburne, at the close of the Cansler speech, asked Chairman Otts to notify him that he expected to pay his respects to him when his turn to speak came. Mr. Otts made the announcement, and Cansler, who was near the door, said: "Say what you doggoned please." Mr. Fishburne said in his speech that if Cansler had been elected rail? road commissioner two years ago he would not have been eligible to the office, ac he was not a registered voter, and produced a certificate from the clerk of court of York county to the effect that Cans'er had never been registered. "He is either a Republican," con? tinued Mr. Fishburne, "or he has committed sbme crime which dis? qualifies him for registration." Cole L. Blease was the first speaker introduced today and he made a good campaign speech, eliciting some little applause. He charged the Ansel ad? ministration with gross extravagance and criticised the Governor severely for appointing a negro to office. He also said he was opposed to the bu? reau of emigration and that if he were elected governor he would veto any bill for an appropriation to carry on this work. He said that if any man opposed appropriations or Con? federate soldiers that man either was a Yankee or had negro blood In his veins. Mr. Blease got off his same Jokes at Gaffney two years afeo when he was a candidate. Gov. Ansel was received with lib? eral applause and proceeded to reply very effectively to all of the charges made by Mr. Blease. Judging from the reception accorded the two can? didates, Gov. Ansel will carry Chero? kee overwhelmingly. Mr. N. W. Brooker, candidate for comptroller general, said he had been trying to treat Mr. Jones, the incum? bent, with courtesy since the begin ning of the campaign, but that Mr. Jones had persisted in treating him very roughly. The other candidates made good speeches and were all well received. The meeting was very orderly, about four hundred people being present, including a number of ladies.?News and Courier. Cured of Hay Fever and Summer Cold A. S. Nusbaum, Batesvllle, Ind., writes: "Last year I suffered for three months with a summer cold so dis? tressing that it interfered with my business. I had many of the symp? toms of hay fever, and a doctor's pre? scription did not reach my case, and I took several medicines which seem? ed only to aggravate it. Fortunate'y I insisted upon having Foley's Honey and Tar. It quickly cured me. My wife has since used Foley's Honey and Tar with the same success. Slbert's Drug Store.

Head* of Families in Nine More States are Set Forth. Washington, July 28.?The direc? tor of census anounces that under the title "Heads of Families at the First Census, 1790," the returns for Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con nectcut, New York, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and South Carolina have been compiled and are now In press. The State records for Virginia, for 1782 to 1785 have been obtained from the State government and will be used in lieu of census returns.

The total population of the United States in 1790, exclusive of slaves, as derived from the schedules, was 3, 231,553. The only names appearing upon the schedules, however, were those of heads of families, of whlcn there were approximately 540,000.

"Willis L. Moore." Summing Up. New York Evening Post. Some indisputable facts gleaned from the newspapers countrywide: The two parties stand for the same thing.

Mr. Taft will be the next president. Mr. Bryan was the choice of the party, but the Republican convention was steam-rolled. Mr. Taft was the free choice of his pj "ty, but the Democratic convention aws In the hands of a dictator. Mr. Bryan has no show. Mr. Taft cannot be elected. Striking an Average.
