Breaking land, planting gardens, hauling fertilizer, ttO, are the order of the day. There is not na much fertilizer being used as there usually is. and most of our farmers ave reduced their cotton acreage. I'ntll the farmers of the South plant lese cotton and raise more of their corn and meat and feed for their stock, we will he In had shape. Some say they have to plant cotton to pay for their fertilizers, etc, hut It might go hard with them the first year or two hut after then they would find it quite different to what it is now. Take the average farmer, ho will raise one to three hogs, kill them in December and then he has to buy meat at from ten to twenty cents per pound. Everything else Is ahout the same, when we could raise enough corn, flour, meat, lard and syrup for our own use and to sell. Now I don't say that all do that? some raise more thnn sufficient for their own use while some raise none. Since writing from here last some? thing has happened In our section that has caused much talk and ex? citement. Ahout two weeks ago it was reported that two negro hoys on Mr. 11. <\ Haynsworth's farm had found a dead man. It proved to he only the skeleton of one, but the wonder is why he was never found before.

INSTRUCT FOR TAFT, BeTOnth DtotHot Republicans Mot at Omngeburg. Drang? burg. March 28.?The Re? publicans of the Seventh Congres? sional district met in the city today for the purpose of electing delegates to the national convention at Chicago. The meeting was presided over by Jacob Moore of Orangeburg, who was both temporary and permanent chair? man. Thie< meeting was harmonious, and all of the six counties comprising the district were fully represented by delegates. The convention indorsed the pres? ent administration and instructed the delegates to vote for Mr. Taft. The delegates are Allle D. Webster. Or angehurg, and J. H. Goodwin, Gads den; alternates, Jacob Mooner. Orangeburg, and L. A. Hawkins. Co? lumbia. There was no contest against the delegates. From the number of editorial clip? pings which are being sent to us from the respective headquarters of the several candidates for President it might be Imagined that there is a v hole lot of money being spent to se? cure the nomination, and the ques? tion which appeals to our mind is i where does the money come from? We are accustomed to charge the ex? penditure of immense sums of money to I cure political control up to the Republicans, and we argue this as a reason why the masses should throw that party down. Congress is about to throw the aged senator from Wis? consin out of the senate for the lavish expenditure of money to ?ecuro his nomination, and yet hero are the Democrats doing the self same thing. What we would like to kno>v, from what source does this money come to promote the Interests of Woodrow Wilson, Champ Clark, Governor Har? mon ani^ pos?!bly Leader Underwood? ?Man air e* T'.mes.

Lexington, March 28.?There have been no new developments In the bankruptcy proceedings instituted against W, P, Roof, the well known merchant, banker and cotton mill president, during the last couple of days. The large department store, as well as the bank, has been closed, and W, H. Townsend, the receiver In charge, and his assistants have been kept busy checking up the bank books and Hoof's other affairs. Mr. Townsend stated today that he could not as yet give out any statement as to what per cent the creditors would receive, and that it would be several days, perhaps, before any statement to this effect would be Issued. The claims have been pouring in since the proceedings began, and the de? positors of the bank have been con tinualling calling at the bank asking all sorts of questions. The Farrlsh-Stafford company of New York, through its attorney, R. L. Abney, of Columbia, has published notice that it will sell at public auc? tion before the court house door at Lexington, on Saturday, April 13, notes, chattel mortgages and bonds secured by mortgages on real estate, pleldged to the company by the Lex? ington Savings bank, to secure notes ?wed to it by the Lexington Savings I ank.

Beaufort, March 28.?Before board? ing the afternoon train for Colum? bia, Attorney General Lyon was ask? ed by The News and Courier corres? pondent for a statement in regard to the Lexington Bank affair. He said the apparent attempt to make it appear that Mr. Hhame, as bank examiner, has been derelict in his duty is without reason or justifi? cation. "Both Mr. Wilson and Mr. Rhame consulted with me as to the condition of the Lexington Savings Bank, and I Know from these consultations that both of them were diligent and care? ful in discharging their full duty in their offices," said Mr. Lyon, ?Mrs. J. L. Sternes, Hickory. X.

MlSfl Emma Mayas won the prize and was presented with a pair of scissors, A delicious salad course with hot coffee was served after the contest! and bus? iness of the afternoon were disposed of. The Club will hold its next meet Ing With Mrs. Wharton Beall at her country home on Tuesday afternoon. April 9. This popular club will give its annual reception in the near fu? ture at the residence of Mrs. W S. Chandler. The township board of as-?'ssor. met here yesterday in the offic?- of J. F. Bland. O. W. McF.ride and J. F. Bland were the only two members present as the other member has moved out of this county into Lee County. It is not know n if the board made any noticeable changes in the assessments but it is not thought that any radical changes were made. At ?a. meetng of town council this morning, the following were appoint? ed as managers of the municipal election to be held next Monday: J. A. Kettles, J. A. Foxworth, and W. T. ! Grant. The polls will be opened from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. Only a light vote will be polled in this election as the real voting took place at the mass meeting last night. Since the announcement of a num? ber of candidates for county affices in the newspapers, politic- are beginning to he discussed here. From all in? dications, the races for sheriff and clerk of court will be quite interesting this summer. Messrs. Kradford and Seale appear to be the favorite- here lor sheriff, whlb Messrs. Parrott and Scarborough will probably run close with the present incumbent having a shade the better of it. The voters are anxiously awaiting the announce? ments of other candidates for the va? rious offices. Little is being said in regard to State politics as there have been few announcements In that Held as yet. Judge Jones will probably carry this town if no other stronger oponents come out, as Blease was not very strong here before. Of course, the governor may have gain? ed considerably since the election In 1910. There is no doubt but that this will be a big year in political circles and there may be some "warm doings" before it is all over.
