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."

listed iJen's club.
The colonel held both willingness
and ability to be soldiers as desirable
attributes of good citizens. He told
the enlisted men a man "afraid to
tight is not tit to vote," and a "mother
who is not willing to raise her boy to
be a soldier is not fit foe citizenship."
Before the address at the club?
house he planted a tree.
"War and Peace" was the topic of
Col. Roosevelt's address to an im?

will be its effect on the whole course
of human affairs.

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.
"I want you to work, however, for
the sake of tho British navy. Fill its
bunkers. It means an inviolate Brit?
ain, the existence of which makes It
Impossible for the Germans to de?
spoil the Welsh coal tields aa they
have tho coal tields of France.
?'Peace at home is essential. I am
sick at heart at the necessary of call?

position, but the situation is sufficient*

of every man and woman in tho
whole land."

GKKMANS PLAN TltlUMPII.
Capture of Warsaw to Be Mitde Oc
easion of Great Display.
Berlin, July 21.?The mighty battle
for the possession of Warsaw is now
in the decisive stage and so conildent
are the Germans of success within a
fortnight that they are making plans
for the triumphant entry of the Teu?
tonic hosts. The Empress has been
invited to the Polish front and plans
to leave Friday for Posen, where she
will meet the Kaiser. According to
the plans they will ride at the head
of the Germanic arnrtes when they
make the solemn entry. The Ger?
mans have taken Hlonie, which is only
fifteen miles from Warsaw and is re?
garded as the final line of the Prus?
sian defense on the west. This puts
the Teutons within easy artillery
range of the Polish capitol.

TIIIX BREEDING PATCHES.
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.
BELGIAN KING MAX OF PEOPLE.
Magn/iivc Editor Thinks Albert Has
taught True Spirit of Democracy.
Sun Francisco, July 21.?Albert,
king of the Belgians, while making
the rounds with Washington newspa?
per men \% ben a prince, caught a
spirit of democracy that may affect
nations, Joe Mitchell Chappie, the
magazine editor, said tonight in an
address on "The Joy and Value of
Making Acquaintances." before the
International Association of Rotary
Clubs.
Chappie introduced Prince Albert
to President McKinley "and as tho tall
blue-eyed boy looked into his gentla
face there was revealed the joy of
an acquaintance." he said.
"When the bugles sounded at Liege
and Hashed to the world the news of
invasion and destruction," said Chap?
pie, "the young king issued a procla?
mation in phraseology that never has
been used by kings, ancient or mod?
ern. 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."
