For the mm few weeks thors #111
be much trouble with the cows get?
ting wild onions In the pasture. The
Iis vor of the* onion hi passed off
with the breath of the cow and In
her milk. Butter made from such
milk carries a strong taste of onion
and cannot be sold on the regular
market.
There is no way the farmer can
got the odor out of the milk or
butter. None of the patent stock
foods or any other powder or rem?
edy Is of any value and so no money
should be wasted on them. Keeping
the cow away from the onions is
the only satisfactory way. If the
cow is kept away from the onions
sir. or eight hours before milking
almost all of the odor will have
passed out of her system and very
little will be noticed in her milk.
This method will allow the cow to
use the pasture for two or three
hours after the morning milking.
Where the grass Is thick the cow
will not usually bite the onions,

MAKING FORTY-FIFTO IN
STATE.
New Comity Will be Made of Portions
of Edgeflcid, Abbeville, and Green?
wood Counties and Movement for
ft* Creation Started Score of Years
Ago.
Columbia, April 13.?The election
providing* for the establishment of
McCormack county was declared yes?
terday by an en banc session of the
supremo court to have been legally
held. There are now 46 counties in
South Carolina, the new unit having
been recognised by an act of the leg?
islature. The decision by the court
means that all constittutonal re?
quirements have been met for the cre?
ation of the new county. The en banc
session of the supreme court was at?
tended yesterday by a large number
of advocates of the new county. The
new unit will be made up from parts
of Edgefteld, Abbeville and Greenwood
counties.
The new county movement has been
carried after a right .extending over
a period of 20 years. Citizens of the
new county are making arrangements
for a celebration at McCon .ck today.
Yesterday they extended an invitation
to Gov. Manning to attend the cele?
bration. The governor was forced to
decline because of other engagements.
The election was held last year. An
appeal was taken to the State board of
canvassers and the election was de?
clared to have been legally held. Then
the case was carried on to the su?
preme court. After hearing the argu?
ments and giving the matter much
consideration the five Justices of the
supreme court failed to agree and the
circuit Judges of the State were called
to their assistance.
The majority opinion was written by
Associate Justice Hydrick and was
concurred in by Associate Justice
Fr?ser and Circuit Judges Prince,
ghfcpp. Sense, Rice, Bowman, Mauldin,
Smith and Peurifoy. The dissenting
opinion was written by Chief Justice
Gary and concurred in by Judge Pe
Vore. A separate dissenting opinion
was written by Associate Justice Watts
and Concurred In by Associate Justice
Gags and Circuit Judges Wilson and
Frank >B. Gary* Another dissenting
opinion was written by Judge Ernest
Moore.
The McCormick county advocates
were represented yesterday, at the
hearing by R. H. Welch of the Co?
lumbia bar. William N. Graydon and
J. B. Park represented the petitioners.
The case was that of T. A. Robinson,
ans) others against R. M. McCown and
other members of the State board of
canvassers.
In 1905 an election was held alnd
carried by a majority of four to one
^h favor of McCormick county but
the opponents won out in the ocurts
because the required area was lack?
ing. At another election In 1914 the
new county agitators won by a votoof
six to one, but for the second time
it was set aside by the opurts. Tho
last in 1915 won out by a big ma?
jority.
McCormick, the county seat of the
new county, is located on the Charles?
ton $ Western Carolina railway, 4o
miles above Augusta and 25 miles
from Abbeville, Greenwood and Edge

CALLS FOR FISKE LETTERS.
Senate Adopts Lodge Resolution Ask?
ing for Correspondence Between Ad?
miral and Daniels.
Washington, April 12.?The con?
troversy between Secretary Daniels
and Rear Admiral Fiske, former aide
of operations, took a new turn today
when the senate adopted without dis?
cussion a resolution by Senator Lodge
calling for correspondence which II
Daniels declined to produce before tf
house committee during hearings on
the naval appropriation bill. The res?
olution describes the letters as writ?
ten to the secretary In November,
1914, one by the general board and
one by Admiral Fiske. They are de?
clared to contain warnings of the un?
readiness of the navy for war.
Before the house committee the sec?
retary was asked if he had not re?
ceived such letters, after his state?
ment that his difference with Admiral
Fiske had not arisen ovCr any pre?
paredness insue. He said communi?
cations with the general board were
confident\al and would not produce the
letters. He added that If he knew
members of the board were discussing
these confidential matters outside the
department he would take steps to
change its personnel.
Admiral Fiske told the same com?
mittee he had resigned as aide for op?
erations because he differed with Mr.
?sSssss^ssM?sa?^s*sMM^Msm
Daniels over the navy's readiness} for
war.
In his testimony Secretary Daniels
said the disagreement began with ft|s
refusal to appoint Admiral Fiske com4
mander of the Atlantic fleet and that
Fiske had disapproved vigorously the
order doing away with navy officers'
wine mess.
