MONEY FOR FARM WORK. I\< KKASK IN AI?I?HOI?lUATIO\ ?1 I 11 I >\> K\MINT. ? vr.n ' muiu> In Mate Will ?lo Itepre ?ein? (I Nrit Year as Hcsiilt of Work Viread > Ihme. ColumbU. June 2.?Commissioner \\ i - ti h m I.n notified that in tlM annual apportionments of funds in the Washington office of the United States farm demonstration work a substantial increase in the annual ap? propriation for the State of South Carolina, amoui.ttng to n< t less than $5.000 has been allowed for the com? ing years' work, commencing on Oc? tober 1: ' This." said the commis? sioner yesterday, "is a substantial and gratifying Increase and Is undoubted? ly In recognition of the appropriation made this year for this work by the State legislature and what is more Im? portant In recognition of the hearty reception of this work IN this State and the splendid results that have fol? lowed Its Introduction into the State. ' This will mean that it will prob? ably be possible to extend this work Into every county In South Carolina the coming year and to Increase the volume of It In a number of the coun? ties. It does not necessarily mean the creation of any number of new posi? tions, for In many Instances I have no doubt who have grown up during the pioneer period of the work. It does mean, however another long step forward toward better agricul? ture, more attractive home life on the farm and larger yields per acre and puts this State In a position where we now confidently hope to see her be? come the object lesson State In pro? gressiv agriculture, not alone of all the Southern States, but all of the States." Prof. Williams, the State agent in charge In South Carolina, has recently been congratulated by the office In .Washington up on the excellent show? ing made In the past year's work. A compilation of reports from all of the demonstration farms In South Caro? lina show that during the past these farms show an average yield of 1204.9 pounds of seed cotton per acre and tl.l bushels of corn per acre. The same reports from the various work? ers In the various counties as to the yield on similar land under ordinary cultivation show an average of 744.5 pounds of seed cotton and 16.7 bush? els of corn. It Is particularly note? worthy that the corn yield under ordi? nary methods of cultivation on farms nea-by the demonstration farms has averaged only 16.7 bushels which is exactly the average yield of corn per acre In South Carolina for 1909, aj announced by the bureau of statistics Of the United States department of agriculture upon data furnished by the State department of agriculture. Upon sonic of th.- demonstration farms the average for a given county has run as high as 31 bushels and as Is seen the announcement In yi.-bl p. r acre on the demonstration farm un? der demonstration methods over the yield per i re on r;ear?.> farms under ordinary methods has been very nearly 20 bushels t.> the * re. In the ease of cotton, the ?et Increase Is over 460 pounds to the acre. When the application of dollars and cents is made to these llgures the real sub? stantial value of farm demonstration wck is easily apparent. The work has already paid for Itself several times over with the profits going to IU9 farmer instead of to any one else. WOMKN'H Bl U H In?|nil. i Digestion Cause* Had Com? plexion and Hun Kyea.

Im Against Harmon On Ohio Scnntor shlp and Wants Convention Name Democratic Cundldnto. (From the New York Sun.) The Ohio Democratic State conven? tion Is to be held at Dayton on Juno 21 and 22, Gov. Judson Harmon Is to he renomlnated. hut the convention, which has promised to he serene and harmonious, is to be the scene of tur? bulent dissension. William J. Bryan has taken Governor Harmon to task and insisted that the Derm *ratic can? didate for United States Senator shall he named by the convention, and (b vernor Harmon has demurred to Bryan's programme. Tom L. John? son, of Cleveland, still in town yes? terday, made it known to his friends that he had joined hands with Bryan In the contention and would go to Dayton at the head of the Cuyahoga County Democratic delegation and in? sist that the candidate for Senator be named by the convention. Mr. Johnson's stand in the matter was very Important news to Newton D. Baker. City Solicitor of Clevfiand, who came on to New York to attend the dinner given at the Hotel Astor on Monday in Mr. Johnson's honor, and to the New York Democrats to whom Mr. Johnson Imparted his in? tentions. Also there was considerable surprise at the new alliance which Mr. Johnson has formed with Mr. Bryan. Mr. Johnson admitting that he had discussed with Mr. Bryan, be? fore the latter left for Europe, the naming of the candidates for Senat? In the Ohio convention. The surprise of Mr. Johnson' Democratic friends and of hij York Democratic friends over hi termination to fight Governor mon on this matter and his rent relations with Mr. Bryan was due t i the fact that since the Denver na? tional convention of 1908 Mr. John? son has been very cool, If not down? right unfriendly, to Mr. Bryan. Up to Mr. Bryan's talk with Mr. Johnson, before the former left for Eu? rope, Mr. Johnson was counted as one of Governor Harmons' allies. Bryan told Johnson that he was going to make the same fight in Ohio that he had made In Indiana when he urged Governor Marshall, of the Hoosler State, to compel the State convention to name the candidat0 for United States Senator. Tom Taggart was op? posed to the Bryan-Marshall pro? posed to the Bryan-Marshall program, but Taggart was beaten, and John W. Kern, the Vice Presidential candi? date on the Bryan ticket in 1908 was named by the Indiana convention for United States Senator. Now Bryan and Johnson have Join? ed hands in the effort to compel Gov? ernor Harmon and Harmon's friends ! in the approaching Dayton convention to do likewise. Bryan and Johnson will not oppose Governor Harmon's renomination. They are to confine their present fight against him to the Senatorship pro? gramme.

Expected That More Indictments Will be Handed Out hi Dispensary. Columbia, June 2.?Judge DeVore announced in Court of Sessions this morning that, at the request of the Attorney General's office ,the grand jury would return next Wednesday. ? The Attorney General will have something for you then," was the statement made in court today. The grand jury had been asked to return today, and it was generally expected that some dispensary indictments would be handed out, but, in accord? ance with the statement from the of? fice of the Attorney General, the mat? ter is postponed. Attorney General Lyon was not in the city, and it is thought that he is now making arrangements for some d spensary tire which will be started up next week in the courts of this county. A number of attorneys and others interested in the dispensary situation appeared in the court room this morning expecting something to turn up in the dispensary cases. The grand jury has some minor indict? ments to consider, and then stood ad? journed until next Wednesday, when it will return. Gen. John D. Frost, former Adjutant General of this State, is foreman of the grand jury. With the dismissing of the grand jury, for the time being, Interest in the dispensary cases does not end, and there is yet much speculation as to what the Attorney General pro? poses to do at this term of the court. The general impression today appear? ed to be that the indictments to be handed out to the grand jury would represent new matter entirely. BIG CROP NEEDED. New Orleans Pai>er Makes Analysis of The Situation. In a comprehensive review lately of the cotton situation, The New Orleans Picayune argues in favor of a larger production of the staple, declaring that while the speculative element of the market is continually advocating short crops and high prices it will be a mistake for the American farmers to allow these arguments to militate against a liberal planting. In taking this position, tiis paper, which is expert in the e >tton buslnewl, declares that the crop of the past year was disastrously small and the season ends with the shortest visible and in vlslbls stocks in a long number of years. In the main the ideas of this paper are harmonious with those of the farmers in general for the reason that the curtailed production of the past year admittedly nec< ssitatefj a !arg? r yield for the new season, in order to meet the actual necessities and requirements of the world. A big crop would s.-ll not only at satisfactory but at paying prices be? cause every bale of it will be needed. With a short crop coming n top of the crop failure of last year famine prices will be experienced but as al S/ay happens under such conditions, profits, instead of being equitably dis? tributed, will accrue to a compara? tively few people, the balance being eft to suffer, the results of disastrous y small yields, which no amount ol iigh prices can make profltabh . noreover, another short yield coming >n top of the scarcity of the past sea ion w ould demoralize the spinning ln lustry of the world. The Picayune believes therefore, h it there is every Incentive for farm? ers to r? pair the damage done by the ? ld weather at April and the back? wardness Of the season generally. Nothing Is to be gained by a short ?t op, while a good < rop is certain to iell at paying prices. The mere plant? ing of a reasonable acreage does not in? jure a good Crop, but tile careful cul I vat ton of a reasonable acreage docs n ip materially to product tin best 'esults, It would, therefore, be 111 ad ?Ised to permit early discouragements to cause an abandonment of an1 of the normal cotton acreage as long as it Is possible to replant. While the teason bus been backward and there has been a notable absence of sufn rlent moisture, it i-< still early enough for these adverse conditions to ? bange. A big cotton crop is abso? lutely needed, no matter what the speculators may say, and there never was a time when there was a greater certainty thai s big crop would prove profitable. Not Visible.

DISLOCATED BACKBONE SET. Mr. J, Knox Corbet! Undergoc* en CTnuenal Operation and is Restored To Health. From The Tucson, Ari., Press. Hon. J. Knox Corbett returned this morning from Washington bearing assurances from President Taft that the executive is doing everything in his power to accomplish Statehood for Arizona, and believe? that the State? hood measure will pass during the present session of congress. The pres? ident's statement was given in the course of a conference at the White House at which Postmaster General Frank H. Hitchcock, Mr. Corbett, and Delegate Cameron were present, to? gether with Delegate Andrews of New Mexico and four of his constituents. "I am making every honorable ef? fort possible to bring about Statehood for Arizona," said President Taft. "Some of the older senators are not entirely favorable to the creation of more Western senators, but I believe I shall be able to overcome that sen? timent.' Everyone with whom Mr. Corbett conversed on the subject of Statehood for the territories seemed to believe it would be accomplished before the end of the present session of congress and judging from their opinions Mr. Corbett is decidedly optimistic con? cerning the situation. He is perhaps the happiest man in Tucson today from another cause. Several years ago he suffered a fall which left his lower limbs partially paralyzed. To such an extent was this true that he could not walk more than a few steps without great fa? tigue. This affliction caused him to seek the services of a practitioner of wide reputation known as "Bonese* ter" Reese in Youngstown, Ohio. Mr. Corbett was just an hour on Reese's operating table. During that time the surgeon discovered that four verte? brae of Mr. Corbett's spinal column were dislocated and that two liga? ments in one foot were so badly dis? placed as to make the foot practical? ly useless. Both the vertebrae and the ligaments were quickly readjusted and Mr. Corbett spent the evening walking about town, enjoying the normal use of his body for the first time since his injury. All the way home from Youngstown he was com? pletely happy and he is still happy. "I feel richer than Carnegie's or Rockefeller's money could make me," said he today, "and I would not change back to my former condition for all their wealth." After leaving Tucson several weeks ago, Mr. Corbett went to New Orleans and from there to his old home in Sumter, South Carolina, where his parents still reside. Their golden wedding was held during his visit, and that event was Mr. Corbett's chief reason for making the eastern trip. Compassion, the parent of all kind offices.?Bryant.
