Wtntberry, County Deni <>ii trat or in Charge of Work AinonK \egro (armen. Many different varieties of cotton and corn, were planted on a farm at Horatio. S. C, to determine which would make the best yield. The sev? eral plots were planted in one held so as to five each about the same grad.? of land. All of the cotton plots were plant? ed the same time with the same amount and k.nd of fertilizers, and worked with the same imple? ments and the same way. The plots were all planted April 10. The soil was dark gray. The first picking was August 21st. the second was Septem? ber 28th; third wajs November 15th. The different varieties were as fol? lows: The Moneymaker, produced , 1.800 pounds of seed cotton to the acre; the Toole produced 1,600 pounds of seed cotton to the acre; The Hites prolific, produced 1,400 pounds of seed cotton to the acre; Look's big boll. 1,500 pounds of seed cotton to the acre; Dillon wilt resistent, 1,350 of seed cotton to the acre; The Bates, 1.7 50 pounds of aeed cotton to the acre; Latents Improved, 1,550 pounds of seed cotton to the acre; Peterkln, 1,4 00 pounds of seed cotton to the acre; Bussell big boll, 1,600 pounds of seed cotton to the acre; Morse's Im? proved, 1.525 pounds of seed cotton to the acre; "Bank Account." 1, 200 pounds of aeed cotton to the acre. Among the different varieties of cotton mentioned, The Bates, is the most favored, the yield of lint was 41 per cent. The Money maker made the largest amount of seed cotton, but the lint was only 34 per cent. The Russell big boll makes the finest lint of any of the short staple cotton. The Columbia long staple was planted near the Experiment Station, June 1st after oats, a little more than two acres was planted, and the amount of aeed cotton gathered from the same waa 1,524 pounds, lint cot? ton. 610 pounds. The amount paid for the lint waa $73.50. The seed are being sold for $1.60 per buaho* which will amount to about $46.00, making a total of $118.60 for the one bf ?f long *tanl? OQttOfl i d - <-d.

Cotton coming In from foreign markets is very likely to bring peats Into the State that would be very in? jurious to our cotton crops, auch as boll weevil and diaeases. that have been kept out of the State thus far. The names of the different varieties of corn were: Dr. Slmma, Marlboro prolific. Strawberry, Hudson. Aldrlch Perfection. Sanders Improved. Jerry Moore, and Charlie Sanders The number of bushels made per acre by each were as follows: Dr. Sims, 45 bushels. Marlboro, prolific, 43 1-4 bushels. Strawberry. 49 bushels. Hudson. 49 bushels. Aldrich Perfection, 40 1-2 bushels. Sanders Improved. 49 1-2 bushels. Charlie Sanders, 48 1-2 bushels. Jerry Moore, 70 bushels. The Hudson variety is not a good seed for this section of the State, the weevils were in abundance on this plot. It Is an early field variety, hav? ing matured nearly two weeks earlier than the other varieties. The Jer? ry Moore variety proved to be much heavier than tho other, while Dr. Sims wrs more prolific. Charley Sanders variety, has a great deal of nutrition, it will not de? cay or rot. as easy as the other va? rieties, and the corn weevils do not affect It as much. The Experiment station wilt be planted In tho same plot this year with roference to tho uoj of fertilizer. Sumte! County Agricultural Agent, Bumtar, s. C? Mr, W. <..

John (irlerhibbeii Stuart, Professor of 1-ogK is Named for Place. Princeton, N. J., Jan. 11.?Dr. John Grierhibben Stuart, professor of logic, was today elected president of Prince? ton University by the board of trustes of the institution. He succeeds Woodrow Wilson, who resigned the presidency in the fail of 1909 to make the run for Governor of Xew Jersey. Sun Yat Son, Christian. "Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the Christian, just chosen as president of the new republic of China, is the most remark? able character today in all the world, and the movement in China to free? dom is the most remarkable the earth has ever known since the days of the apostles," said Dr. L?en G. Brough ton. "While in England I was given op? portunity to learn the history of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, and this fact stands out most interestingly: That back in the nineties while working with heart and soul to stir up this revolution, ha was kidnapped in London, at the instance of the Chinese legation. "For a number of days he disap? peared as if the earth had swallowed him up. Nothing was heard of him One day Ju3t as the Chinese govern? ment agents were getting ready to send him back to China so as to ob? tain the $50,000 reward the govern? ment had offered for his head, the miraculous happened. "A servant entered the room where he was confined to obtain a coal scut? tle th?t contained waste paper. Dr. Sun Yal X' . .i-ops..?.. iof. let > \c OOaJ I Ittle. addre*s*.-d to ih<? public, tiling of hi* oaptui -ovp- met ? an?! the purpose* of biu cap lorn, i' waa posseeeu wiui tUe uoaptiu^ hope that some one might find the note. And when the servant emptied tho waste from the coal scuttle the wind blew the note across the street. "A passerby picked it up and read It. Scotland Yard was notified, and in a few minutes had inveatlgated, found Dr. Sun Yat Sen and released him. "After that Dr. Sun Yat Sen came to America in the interest of the revo? lutionary movement, to which he has devoted his life; In fact, he went back and forth working toward it. My clos? est friends in England are intimately acquainted with htm. his mission and nccomplishmente. I learned much about him from them. He was edu? cated In London and obtained his medical degree from the University of London. "He has had the fullest sympathy of tho people of England in his move? ment, and commanded Immense sums cf money from them for the propaga? tion of his movement. "For a great old pagan nation of over 4 00,000,000 persons, sleeping for centuries in darkness, to suddenly awake to freedom under a Christian leader, is tho most remarkable event since the apostles." Dr. Hroughton, while abroad re? cently, secured tho story of this re? markable young Chinaman, being m.ide acquainted with the story of his life at oxford university, where Dr. Sun Yat Sen was educated, and also in homes of prominent English? men. Where this young statesman and revolutionist bad been entertained. In speaking of the matter, Dr. Hroughton said: "I regard the story of this young Chinaman a* one of the most won? derful in all the world. It Is calcu? lated t > arouse the men of this coun? try to the present day opportunities as no story of modem times." sill STEH LEAVES PERSIA. Theran Persia, Jan. 11,?\V.

Rice, of Aiken, Succeeds Late Robert Aldrich; Thomas II. Spain, of Darlington, lt. C. Walts; flank B. Gary, of Abbeville, L*ate J. O. Klugh, on Circuit Bench of South Carolina. Columbia, Jan. 12.?The Joint as? sembly of the two Houses today made the following elections of Circuit Judges: For the 2nd circuit, Hayne F. Rice, of Aiken, to succeed the late Robert Aldrich. For the 4th circuit, Thomas H. Spain, of Darlington, to succeed As? sociate Justice R. C. Watts. For the 8th circuit, Frank B. Gary, j of Abbeville, to succeed the late Judge J. C. Klugh. For the 11th circuit, Judge J. W. DeVore, of Edgefield, re-elected. For the 12th circuit, Judge S. W. G. Shipp, of Florence, re-elected. The first two elections were full of spirit and vim and the contest be? tween Mr. Edward Mclver and Mr. Spain, to succeed Judge Watts, for the unexplred term, was one of the sharpest and most spirited contests that has been seen in many years. On the first ballot the result was a tie. There was a bit of feeling over what appeared to be a delay in the announcement of the result, and while tho result was pending several Senators came in and recorded their vote. The late arrivals added to the vote of Mr. Mclver and there was more or less resentment over what some thought to be a purposed de? lay but each vote stood on its own bottom and when once recorded, un? der the rules, cannot be changed un? til the next ballot. On the second ballot Mr. Spain won by a majority of 26 votes, although on the first ballot It was a tie. In the race for the Judgeship from the 2nd circuit there was a sharp contest, which narrowed down to Senator Bates, of Barnwell, and Mr. Hayne F. Rice, of Aiken. On the second ballot, when things simmered down, the vote stood Bates 66, Rice 74, Miley 10, Davis 6. On the third and final ballot the vote stood Rice 99 and Bates 55, and by this vote Mr. Hayne F. Rice, at present a member of the State board of education, was elected to succeed Judge Aldrich. Some mem ben insisted 1 s having! ail the elections without a ?
