M I ?ts. while Ander? son was advocated because a march would be made from there to Paris Mountain, where they would be Join? ed by the 1st regiment which will be encamped at Spartanburg. A sham battle would be fought between the I two. Chlckamauga appealed to those If present more than the Anderson proposition and a motion to go to the former place prevailed.

Harper, director of the Bant rimont Station, gave the following facti about the toy bean: For general farming some Improve ed variety of the cow pea will prob? ably always take the moat prominent place among soil legumes: '"it he Heven that the soy bean is. in many n spects, superior to the pea. The soy bean Is an Asiatic plant, grown extensively In Japan and China. While It has grown In a small way here for many years. It has not at? tracted much attention la the South, until recently, though it is being grown on a large ? uW- in some West? ern Stat. s. tepeelaHy whore the rain? fall is scant. It Is sure to become Popular In the South when Its full v atue ai realised The soy bean is an annual legum? inous plant, closely related to the cow p.-a. When compared with the pea, It Is more valuable In mai.y ways. (a) Tt Will collect more ammonia tn?m the atmosphere than will the pea, thus being a greater Improver. (b) The seed will remain on the ground until late fall?November or December?without rotting, thus giv? ing a longer grazing period than the cow pea. (a) It is erect in growth, without runners, and can therefore be more easily CUt for silage or hay. (d) It will resist drought better than the cow pea will. (e) There are varieties of the soy bean that will mature seed much ear? lier than the earliest varieties of the I ow pea; hence It can be grown fur? ther North, and In the South can be planted earlier and later than can the cow pea. (f) It will produce^ far more grain per acre than will the cow pea; and the richer the soil the more grain there will be; whereas with the pea rich soil tends to run the growth to vine with only small amount of peas. (g) The soy bean matures all its fruit at once and can therefore be harvested by machinery and the seed removed from the pod by common grain threshing machinery; whereas the cow pea must be hand picked and threshed by special machinery. (h) It is not troubled with weevils t pests which injure con paai advantage over the i that II is richer in pro -^.v. it contains an average of 35.4 per cent of protein and 20.4 per cent of oil, as compared with 25.3 per cent of protein and 1.8 per cent of oil in cow peas. The soy bean is the richest muscle-producing food we can raise. Soy bean meal is as rich as cotton seed meal. On the other hand the cow pea has some advantages over the soy bean, e. g.: (a) It cannot be grown as well as the cow pea in corn. (b) It cannot be grown broadcast as well, for the seed do not germinate as uniformly, because they need more moisture. (c) 8oy bean hay is harder to cure, because leaves shed so readi? ly. (d) Soy beans must, to get best results, be planted in rows and work? ed. (e) Where there are rabbits it Is hard to keep them from eating every part of the plant. Methods of cultivation: Best re? sults are obtained when sown in drills II Inches apart, using two to three pecks of seed per acre. Sow with corn planter, or better with grain drill, stopping up all tubes but first, fifty and ninth.

BEMINOLE CELEBRITY REELECT ED CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEE, stair Democratic Committee Biet Lact Night and Bemlnole Jones won Oat After Brief Contest?\ Pew Mem ben Demanded a Change But Jones II.nl the Crowd. Columbla( May is.?After consid? erable debate the State Democratic Executive Committee last night de? cided to elect a chairman prior to the Bta1.mention, which meets today. and accordingly Wille Jones, of this c ity was reelected. The whole point in the fight was the right of the com? mittee taking this action and W. F. Stevenson, of Chesterfield, led the light against the election of the chair? man while J. Walter Doar, A. E. Pad? gett, T. H, Dreher, W. S. Hall and others opposed the motion. Only three counties did not answer to the call. These were Darlington, Saluda and Spartanhurg. The com? mittee as it met, giving proxies in five counties, Alken, Beaufort, Chero k? e, Fairfield and York, was as fol? lows: Abbeville, A. W. Jones; Alken, . C. Hudson; Anderson, J. E. Bre zealc; Bamber, C. B. Free; Barnwell, H. P, Built; Beaufort, C. S. Hall; Berkeley, T, W. Williame; Caihoun, T. H. Dreher; Charleston, Daniel L. Slnkler; Cherokee, W. S. Hall; Ches? ter, R. B.

B Crews was made temporary chairman and the question of the election of a permanent chairman came up at once. W. F. Stevenson made the point that the committee was simply the servant of the con? vention and that the Chesterfield del? egation had been Instructed to change the rules so that the eommitte would meet after the convention for the election. It would be discourteous to name a permanent officer before then C. L. Blease said that the rules of the party required that a chairman be elected at once. Without that the committee was without an organiza? tion and the meeting was absolutely unnecessary. D. H. Magill took prac? tically the same view. C. M. Llde thought the convention had the right to delegate authority to the commit? tee and any action taken In advance would put the committee In an em? barrassing position. Mr. Doar held that the committee was not a crea? ture of the convention but represent? ed each county for Democracy and was therefore not bound to consider the convention. After considerable debate along the same lines A. E. Padgett moved to lay on the table the motion by W. F. Stevenson that the election of a per? manent chairman of the committee be deferred. The roll was called and the vote resulted as follows: Ayes, to table?A. W. Jones, Brea zeale, Free, Bulst, C. S. Hall, Talbert, Hudson, Dreher, Slnkler, W. S.

There were some who did not vote after Gen. Jones was nominated. Capt. Griffith was nominated but St once withdrew his name. Mr. Stevenson said that he did not feel that he should vote as be was under instructions by his county convention to change the method for tilling this office. Gen, Jones thanked the c ommittee for its action on assuming the chair and said that despite the points rais? ed he would always be loyal to the ptrty, If he was defeated he would nevor be a sulker bul was willing to lay down his life for the cause <>f i >cmrocracy, J, l >.

Cotton t eed meal as a fertilizer can now be sold tinder the eomemreial foodstuffs act Which was passed at the last session of the legislature as the result of an amendment t'> the re qutrcments of the cu t as has been an? nounced by the department of agri? culture. Under the new arrangement cotton seed meal can be sold with a stamp as required by the commercial food act or with a fertilizer tag tax. The following announcement has been made by Commissioner Watson: "In view of the satisfactory presen? tation to this department on the part of those who are engaged In the cot? ton mill oil Industry in this State, and after a full understanding with the authorities at Clemson College, hav? ing charge of the sale of cotton seed meal as fertilizer. I have today issued under the authority given in the law, an amendment to the rules and regu? lation^ promulgated on May 1, gov? erning the sale of commercial food? stuffs in the State of South Carolina, which reduces#the standard for 'cot? ton seed meal from 38.62 per cent protein, 4 per cent, fat and 12 per cent crude fibre (7 1-2 ammonia) and requiring all cotton seed meal under this standard to be labeled 'cotton seed meal,' to the b^is of 7 per cent, ammonia. This amendment reduces our standard to the same standard required at Clerrfscn Colege for cotton seed meal for fertilizer purposes, and enables any cotton seed meal above 7 per cent ammonia to be labeled 'cot? ton seed meal,' but anything below must carry the term 'cotton seed feed meal.' This is adopting a lower stan? dard of cotton seed meal for feed pur I poses than has been adopted in most of our sister Southern States, but I have deemed It justifiable and, indeed, advantageous in view of the fact t?at the standard originally fixed brought about considerable complications, re? sulting from the standard fixed at Clemson College for fertilizer pur? poses, and in order that the cotton seed oil industry in South Carolina may not ^be seriously affected. It merely changes one word upon the tag, and the dealer knows exactly what he is buying in 'protein strength.' Furthermore, cotton seed feed meal I carrying as low a per cent, of pro? tein as 10 per cent, could be sold to the trade under the former standard for feed purposes. The only effect so far as the consumer is concerned to the amended rules and regulations is the changing of one word upon the label on such stuff as runs between 36 and 38.62 per cent protein. "I have also issued an amendment to the rules and regulations estab? lishing standard for corn chop and corn bran, fixing the minimum pro? tein for corn chop, which is a low grade feed, at 7 per cent, protein and for corn bran, which is also a low grade fed stuff, at 8 per cent protein. "These standards were not set in the original promulgation -on May 1. I have also amended the rules and regulations so as to make it clear that cracked corn, as such, does not come I under the new commercial feed stuffs law except when proved upon inspec? tion to be made from damaged whole grain corn and dangerous to the lives of animals." Work on the gas plant has been tied up for some time on account of the failure to get the drip pots. The manager is looking for these every day. As soon as they arrive the work will be resumed and will be pushed to completion It will take about two months to complete the work. Auto racing on the streets has been a popular pastime among owners and other drivers of motor cars, but the popularity of this sport wdll wane now that it has become quite expensive owing to the enforcement of the ordi? nance against fast driving. Autolsts will also find it cheaper to stop at the corner of Main and Liberty, Main and Hampton, and Liberty and Harvln, than to attend the mid-day reception of the Recorder. Mr. It. S. Hood, chief of the local fire department and also secretary of j the State Firemen's Association has reason to believe that the annual meeting of tlie Association here next , month will be the most largely at? tended in til'* history of the Associa? tion. An kinusually large number <>i" teams arc expected to enter the tour? nament and compete lor the large prizes .that are offered. It has bei n decided that none of the Bumter teams will bo permitted to entt r the tournament, so that the visiting teams may divide all the prize money be? tween them. CASTOR IA For Infants find Children, The Kind You Hsva Always bought Bignaure of ^Z^-^^/c^^ RECOMMEND BRIGADE ENCAMP MEN rs. Officers of National Guard Think the Several Commends should Know Each Other Better. From The Daily Item, May 18. After dinner yesterday the officers of th<* lind regiment of the National Guard of South Carolina, who were hi re, re-assembled in the armory and begun the discussion of those matters that would benefit the regiment and make it more efficient. The matter of brigade encampments came up, and alter much discussion, the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas it is the sense of this meeting that there is lacking that touch and cohesion among the per sonel of the different regiments and naval militia of this State, for the reason that it has so far been impos? sible to hold brigade encampments, on account of the lack of equipment. This deficiency having been removed, be it Resolved: First, That It Is the judg? ment of this meeting that brigade en? campment should be held next year, and so often thereafter as possible. Second, That the meetings of the National Guard Association of South Carolina should be held each year in order that the officers of the National Guard may come in closer contact with each other, and also for the gen? eral betterment of the guard. Finally, That a copy of these res? olutions be sent to the Adjutant Gen? eral, the comamnding officers of the several regiments and naval militia and to the President of the Nationa Guard Association of South Carolina.

Carpenter,, Sec, Anderson Chamber of Commerce, Anderson, S. C. Dear Sir: ? At a meeting of the officers of the 2nd Reg. N. G. S. C. today the ques? tion of the location of encampment was freely discussed, and while a number of the officers expressed themselves as favoring the courteous invitation of the Chamber of Com? merce of Anderson, to encamp in your city, it was after mature deliberation decided that the greater number of enlisted men preferred the Chicka mauga camp. The officers of the regiment wish to assure you of their appreciation of your kind invitation and thank you for same, and regret that for reason above stated they are unable to acccept. (Signed) CAPT. R. C. ROLLINS, CAPT. J. W. BRADFORD, JR., CAPT. J. C. HERLONG, Committee.

Cox, who was presiding, an? nounced that adjournment was in or? der. B. Lonnie Vogel and Joe Plowden were before the Recorder for racing on Church street, the former on a motorcycle and the latter in an auto? mobile. They were each fined $10. There was another case against Mr. Vogel for speeding but the Recorder thought $10 was enough for one day. Ada Wright got all wrong and was making merry at the merry-go-round, drinking whiskey from a bottle In public. She was seen by an officer and she is a sadder but wiser woman to? day. She contributed $8 to the pav? ing fund for her fun. THE MISSIONARY MEETING CENTRAL SECTION OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA CONVEN? TION MEETS HERE.

Fell Thirty Feet But His Skull Stood the Blow. I Ephriam Williams has made a rec? ord for having a hard head. He was working on the Scarborough gin house Tuesday and the scaffold gave away with him when he was about thirty feet up in the air. He came down head foremost and struck a 4 by 12 piece of timber full force. All the injury was a gash in his scalp about three to four inches long. When he was reached the gash was seen and some cottonseed were hang? ing to his wound. Examination, how? ever, disclosed that what was seen was not brains as vas at first thought. It will take a harder blow than that to reach his brains. Busch's Golden Seal Stock and Poultry Medicine contains no poisonous substances?no food tillers.
