Cultures for LcfrmnKH May be Pur? en segd or Msauftu turtxl by Agricul? tural UefMMrUnraC j 1 Columbia. March 1.?An act was passed by ths laat general aasembly to provide inoculation material for leguminous crops and for distribution to ths citizens of the State. Under the terms of the act the commissioner of agriculture is au? thorised to make arrangements with any reliable manufacturers for the sale of inoculation material to the citlsens of the State at prices that will be reasonable and will allow a reasonable profit on the cost of pro? duction. Falling to make suoh an arrangement the commissioner is au? thorised to manufacture the Inocula? tion material. "The commissioner." says tho act "is hereby authorised to expend from any surplus funds collected from other sources in his hands, such amounts as may be necessary to in? augurate the work of manufacturing Inoculating material and refund as soon as possible from the sums col? lected from trie sale of such material such sum* as may ne so expended to those respective funds." Commissioner of Agriculture Oraham of North Carolina gives the following results of the Inoculation act in that State: 'The commissioner of agriculture recommended action on this bill in December. 1913. A committee was appointed to take the matter under advisement and report to the full board and the board appropriated a small sum with which to equip a lab? oratory to make the inoculating cul? tures, and alno fixed the price at CO c*?nt? an acre as against the regular price of %i an acre charged by the leading commercial companies. < SJ August 18 we began distribu? ting the cultures and by November 1% wo had distributed about 7.you sere bottles for clover, vetches, al falfs. and so on, thus effecting u direct cash saving to the farmers of the Htate of $11.SSO within three months. "It may be urged that much of this Inoculating materlnl would have been purchased from the commercial com? panies end used, sml the farms would have received the benefit, even though the legislature and the board of ngrl culture had taken no action This \n doubtless true, but It In equally true that by cutting, tho price, from I- an acre to the actual cost of production hundreds of farmers have availed themselves of the opportunity of get? ting u genuine article at a reasonable figure "Who would not have thought of using the commercial product at the prevailing price." CHARLESTON BID LOW. Attractive Proposition for Building Light Ships. Charleston, Feb. 26.?It has been learned indirectly at the local naval station that the bid of the Charleston navy yard submitted to the depart? ment of commerce fo rthc contract to construct two light vessels is $13,000 lower than the next lowest bid sub? mitted by a competing navy yard. The construction of the two vessels ban been estimated in the bid of the local station at about (175,000. Bids for light vessels Xo. 101 and No. 102 were opened at departmental headquarters on February 24, and the Charleston yard w'.ll be notified with? in the next day or two as to the re? ception of their bids. In the mean? while the Jubilation of the officials at the station here is great. They re Kard the achievement of outstripping all competitors by $13,000 as one to be particularly proud of In view of he fact that the Charleston yard lacks adequate building ways, and has been handicapped by the inclusion of that item in its estimate. The local bid was submitted in competition with all comers, private as .ell as govern? ment yards. Should the entire contract for the construction of No. 101 and No. 102 be awarded the yard here it will mean $300,000 in construction work on hand to be completed in the Imme? diate future, including the $125,000 naval tug, contract for which was re? cently awarded this station.

Reed, United Stetes Senator from Missouri. "_ ? When we ask whether the foreign er is capable of citizenship and achievement we must consider the Jew. Seek the source of the century-old hprrors he has .endured and you will enter the caverns of Ignorance where dwells the serpent of superstition and its pestilential offspring, persecution. The Jew has been, and in some places still is, an outcast simply and only because he has steadfastly re? fused to abandon the God of his fath? ers. For this 3,000 years ago were his burdens of Egypt made greater than he could bear. For this were his cities burned, the walls of his capital rated, his temples destroyed, his altars dese? crated, his people slaughtered; for this was ho carried into captivity by Syrian and Babylonian despots, his land reduced to a desert sown with the bones of murdered millions. Yet, in spite of all, for fifteen hifndred (years the Jew clung to the horns of his altar, cherished his temple, and reverenced his God. For fifteen centuries the world was enveloped in the night of bigotry, ig? norance, and terror?a night illumi? nated by a single torch of truth, held aloft by the hand of the Jew. The Jew alone during all that pe? riod of terror, vice, tyranny, despair and loathsome idolatry, taught the doctrine of one Supreme God. He alone followed a code of laws which embraced every principle essential to liberty, morality, and religion. His laws and his religion were to those of the other nations of the earth as a star of indescribable glory shining through the clouds of a storm-rent sky upon a sea of blood. Then came the dawn of Chris? tianity, but its glory fell upon the land of the Jew. The God mother was a Jewess. The Twelve Disciples were Hebrew fishermen who spread their nets along the shores of the seu of Galilee. From this race wc get our religion, from its sacred writings our morals. It preserved the greater part of our knowledge of ancient history. The sublimest examples of sacred poetry and the tenderest expressions of ex? alted devotion fell from the pens of inspired Jews. Obliterate the work of the Jew be? fore the Chrlatian era and you destroy the old Bible and the Ten Command? ments. Strike out the work of the I Jew of the Christian era and you ob literate the New Testament. Your religion, the fundamentals of your laws, your ideas of virtue, your precepts of morality?all these you get from the Jew. From the lips of the son of a Jewess came the sub? lime command "Do unto others as you would they should do unto you.'* If you say some of the Jews cruci? fied the Saviour, I answer it 'was also Jews who followed Him to Cavalry. It war a Jew who drew the nails from the cross. It was Jews who reventi/ bore the. body to the sepulchre. It was Jews who awaited the glory of the resurrection. It was Jews to whom He appeared, with whom He walked and talked. It was these same Jews who went into all the world teaching His word. They were beaten; they were im? prisoned^ they were fed to wild beasts by those they camo to save. They gave their lives to the propaga? tion of Christianity. The race has ever since been persecuted by those whom a part of the race concerted. But as civilization has progressed, as the light of reason has penetrated the night of ignorance, as man has emerged from the jungles of bar? barism and approached the sunlit plains of civilization, persecution of the Jew has lapsed or ceased. Only Russia and one or two others of the tardy nations continue the diabolic practise. Let us not become either as? sistants or parties to the infernal pol? icy, i If you were to name the ten great? est statesmen of the century you would be compelled to include t*?e elder Disraeli, an English Jew. If you were to name the ten jfreckt? est judges you would include in the list a Jew, Rufus Daniel Isaacs, Lord Chief Justice of England. If you were to think 01 great law? yers of tho century your mind would call up the name of Judah P. Benja? min, attorney general of the Confed? eracy, and remember him as a Jew. If you were asked to name the fore? most actress of the world you would instantly think of Sarah Bernhardt, a French Jewess. If you were asked to call the name of a master of music, you would re? member Anton Hubenstein. If you were to pursue your inquiry you would Und that in law, medicine, literature, science, philanthropy, art and in business tbe Jew has held his own with competitors Of every race. Let me quote you the words of Joaquin Miller: Who taugh you tender Bible tabs, <M honey lands, of milk and wine? of happy, peaceful Palestine? Of Jordau's holy harvest vales? Who gave the patient Christ? I say, Who gave your Christian creed? Yes, yea; '?? ? i; -rr ??? Ml Hi Who gave your very God to you Your Jew! Your Jew! Your hated Jew! ?Joaquin Miller in "Russia's Ingrati? tude." AMERICAN KILLED ON CARIB. Wm. Bazzel, of IVnsaooJa, Assistant Engineer, Lost Life When Steamer Blew up.
