THE MEN CASE. t.OVEKNOIt HOLDS OLIVFJtOS LH. VI .IA lit T Nor MOHALLY KlfTTTLED TO OI I U JE, He Wa* Appointed Master, end Exe? cutive Sayn He Cannot Act Without Further * l/cgnl Ground**. Columbia. July 20.?"As I cannot proceed without legal grounds. I can? not take any action unless further Steps are taken." is the dictum deliv? ered by Oov. Manning in the ?gase of L. M. C. Oliveros, master of Aiken county, which has created much at? tention. It appears that the late Capt. W. M. Jordan, who was master of Alkcn county, died before his term of office expired In June, 1913. Oov. Blease appointed L. M. C. Ollveros to the office and an effort was made to have T. O. Croft, then senator from Alken county, confirm Mr. Ollveros for mas? ter. This Mr. Croft agreed to do, af? ter Mr. Ollveros, In the presence of the senator and D. S. Henderson, of Aiken, signed an agreement to go in the next primary, and If defeated, re? sign to favor of the successful con? testant, according to a letter from Mr Croft Mr. Ollveros was nominated, the State senate confirmed the ap ument and he was commissioned on January 10, 1912. In the primary election J. K. Murray, of Alken was nominated for master, and Mr. Ollver? os refused to relinquish his office, claiming that his appointment held until January 10, 1918. In his statement today Oov. Man? ning said: "Mr. L. M. C. Ollveros In response to a letter from me called at my of? fene this morning and discussed with me the circumstances of the present Ipgfnmbency >>t the office of m ister of Alken county. I told him that I stated in my campaign speech that I would appoint nominees of the pri? mary. I have read the agreement be? tween Mr. Ollveros and Mr. T. O. Croft, then senator from Alken coun? ty, before Mr. Croft consented to the ' "nflrmatlon of Mr. ?Miveros; It being specified that this agreement referred to the gjgjgeplred term of Capt. W. M. Jordan da censed, Mi. Ollveros also exhibited to me his announcement of hta candidacy for master, published In four-papers In Alken county, dur? ing the campaign, in which he an? nounced hla candid.try. '|>ro\i<bd that I have, not already the right to bold thin office under the recent appoint? ment of the gowrnor and confirma? tion of the senate, for a period of four years, aa the present law pmvidos.' I have also examined into the statute on the term of master.. In view of Mr. Ollveros having the agreement with Senator CrotX 1 hold that Mr. ollveros Is morally not entitled to the office hut that legally he Is, an 1 that as I cannot proceed without legal grounds, I cannot take any action un? less further steps are taken."

"It is only gradually dawning on us how tremendous is the struggle in which we are engaged. Even now I am not sure we fully realize what will be its effect on the whole course of human affairs. "The coal fields of France now are in tho hands of the enemy. France depends on you for coal, -and I am going to ask you to make up for lost time and show France you arc pre? pared to assist her in the, struggle for tho freedom of the world.

Sec that Cotton is Thinned Now to Only One Stalk to Kill. Clemson College, July 20.?Those farmers who have not yet dono so should Immediately give attention to their breeding patches of cotton and see that the patch is thinned to the proper distances between the stalks and to only one plant to the hill. These details are important in breeding work. There is yet time to do this work. The botany division of Clemson College advises that where one Wishes to make a study of individual stalks and to select superior individuals for further breeding, it is absolutely es? sential that such stalks be given dis? tance to develop normally. In breed? ing patches and progeny rows the stalks should be at least three feet apart in the ro\y and the stand should be as nearly even and perfect as possible. It is especially Important that only one stalk he left In a hill. Cotton is i'ety seldom thinned to such a stand when it is chopped out and frequently one does not realize that it has been left too thick until the plants are al? most mature. By n<>\\ the plants are large enough for one to see where the stalks arv crowded and it will bo an easy matter to go through the breeding patch and pull out the surplus stalks. This should be done now. The longer one leaves the plains, the more will one dislike to pull them out. Selections made this fall Will mean very little unless the cotton has been perfectly tinned.

It began 'My Fellow Citizens/ "The impact with democracy had ripened Into action, and on the banka of the River Yeer today stands the I solitary figure of the king who, I be? lieve, will be ready to hand back his sceptre to his pepole and become the father of the drat new republic in the ITnited states of Europe."
