W. Long, tftats agent for tl ?> demonstration work. The appointment <>t' a sir..ml man to work in the 15 counties where the cattle tick has been eradicated will be announced in a few days. "The government has selected one ??f the two experts that is to . . <>|.. rate with .he division of anmal hus? bandry, in charge of Prof. it. L.

They expect to secure the other nun v.Iff fMNJ, J. 1Watt of Alabama, who has had a number ?f years' experience in live stock work, has he? n 1 by the de? partment. Live stock associations were organ lied in the last few days In Anderson and Greenville counties. Great interest was manifested and the association started off with a mem? bership of something over 60 members each. These ffaociations will meet ones in two months. The expert will be preterit, lie will make up the programme ami will be prepared to answer any questions that the mem here may ask concerning the live stock industry. In this way interest will be maintained. Farmers' organizations genera ly die for the want of leader? ship ard a concrete object. "Of course the question of pastur? age will be the first consideration. It is our object t?. push the development of Bermuda grass and bur clover as paatu.e grasses. It is not generally known that Bermuda gruss is more nearly a balanced ration than alfalfa or Kentucky blue grass. "I would like to call the attentlcn of the farmers of this State to the fol? lowing facts in reference to Bermuda grass: Alfalfa contains 10.5 per cent of protein, 40. > carbohydrates, and .9 of fat, Kentcuky blue grass contains 4 4 protein, 40.2 carbohydrates, and .7 fat; Bermuda grass contains 6.4 pro? tein, 44.t carbohydrates and 1.6 fat. The nutritive ratio of alfalfa is 1.4 per cent.. Kentucky blue grasa 1.9 per cent . and Beimuda 1.7 per cent. To? tal nutrients of these grases are: Al? falfa *l. Kentucky blue grass 46.2 and Bermuda grass 54.9. This shows that Beimuda grass is more nearly a balanced ration, a*i I have stated, and in a more valuable grass for pas? turage, when properly treated, than alfalfa or the celebrated Kentucky blue grass. 'We have always associated live stock with blue grass and alfalfa and v ?t ws have a grass here with us that is the squsl of these great grasses and yet we have never taken advantage of the use of It for the Awl.?b.pment of our llw stoik.

Three hundred end nfty American nun and women with a large numher of British guests were I ?? seilt and they repeatedly cheered Lord Maldane. Kotiert N. Fairbanks, president of the society, proposed The King," and Lord Haldaue pro OOOtd Tiie President of the United States." "I recently nav'e a visit t<? the Untied States," Lord Haldane said, and came hack not only with a Vivid reeollootion of the cordial welcome I received but with a deep sense of the high ideal the British, and American nations held in common?the high Ideals of citizenship of the two ( ountries." Referring to President Wilson, he said: "Before he became president Mr. Wilson wts a thinking man and iX moralist. In studying his career 1 can not fail to be impressed by his detached character and find that he has not ceased to be a thinker and" a moralist because he has become the holder of a great olllce. We see in him the aspirations and ideals of his nation expressed to the world. It is not only expressly declared that the policy of thf United States is not one of conquest or of annexation but the world looks to the United States, with itv enormous position and possessions, to carry on its traditions without add? ing to its possessions. "That is our course also. Nor is it the'case that when the United States Intervenes 1" any manner it is done for its own advantage. It was not the case with Cuba, to whom the United States restored independence." Speaking of the Monroe doctrine, he said th\i the United States con? sidered herself responsible for the liberties of the smaller nations of the Western hemisphere, lie could see what was in the mind of the presi? dent of that time?that the respon? sibility rested with the United States to secure good government and fair treatment for those countries. Ho interpreted President Wilson's policy to mean that the United States was ready to accept the responsibil? ity of insuring good terms for herself in those countries and to those who should set up high ideals of policy, of justice and of righteousness. "1 am not sure that any one should speculate upon the interpretation of that policy," continued the nigh chancellor, "but 1 have thought my SOtf at liberty to say what I have. It is true, indeed, that a high spirit and a high aim shoald be brought Into the polity of the United State? in Its dealing witn adjacent coun? tries, and it is because the president has taken the attitude he has?a step Which none can bol admire, what > *er its consequences may be?that I propose good health to Mr. Wood roH Wilson, the president, and Mr Wondiow Wilson, the man." is sod and seeding it to oats and vetch, a great many of the roots will )?.? exposed to the cold and will die during tin- winter.

I think It is a mistake f\n to destroy this valnaldo glass, but It can be done if necessary." Sir John A. Simon, the attorney1 generali proposed the health of thoj American ambassador, Walter H. I Page, and declared him to be the worthy successor of his distinguished predecessors. Mr. Pace referred to the warm re? did.on which the American ambassa? dor had met with In England and which he knew was a tribute to his country. Acknowledging L,ord Hal dnne't speech* he said: "The American nation Is not one Which Is afraid to follow its bent to the utmost lengths. The lord chan? cellor has spoken of doing what is1 righteous without regard to conse? quences. There are no consequences." Prof. A. 11. Alexander, chairman of the American delegation to the Inter? national Conference on Safety at Sea, proposed "Thanksgiving day." Lord Klndore and Col Sir Claude Mac donnld responded to "Our Guests." Lord Klndore told of the forthcom? ing celebration of the centenary of peace between the two nations. He said he hoped it eventually would he followed by the celebration of the millennium of peace but those ar? ranging the centenary celebra? tion intended that none which might follow it would be more noteworthy. Sir (Maude Macdomtld, who was en? thusiastically greeted, gave interest? ing reminiscences of the siege of Pe-j king, in which he commanded the In? ternational forces, and said that ntxt, to the honors conferred upon him by his sovereign the produest moment ; of his life was when he was placed i in command by the American min? ister of the American contingent there , and fought shoulder to shoulder with them. The guests included the staffs of the American embassy and consulate, the American delegate to the life sav? ing conference, Huron Charnwood, the Earl of Denolgh, Dr. Joseph H.

Negro Killed and White Man Badly Wounded. Dillon, Nov. 29.?John Hamilton, white, and Jim Killins, a negro, left Dillon yesterday in a buggy for their homes. Both were drinking, it is said. At the railroad crossing, a mile from the station, the vehicici was struck by the incoming A. C. L. train, No. 89. The mule was killed and the buggy, with both men, was taken on the pilot of the engine. When tho train came to a stop, it was found that the negro was dead, having been instantly killed. His neck end both arms were broken. The white man had his left leg broken above anc be? low the knee, his arm broken and he was badly bruised otherwise. The train then pulled up to the station where the wrecked buggy and its oc? cupants were taken from the pilot* The body of the negro was taken into the baggage room, and Hamilton was carried to Florence on the second section of No. 89. A remarkable coincidence was that about 10 years ago Hamilton's uncle was struck by an engine, killed and carried over the same ground, prac? tically. He was drinking and walk? ing on the track and endeavored to cross immediately in front of the ap? proaching train. The buggy in which the men were riding last night is now lying on Main street and its wrecked condi? tion shows the force of the impact.
