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, i M ? Oov.

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 Held.

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. \ Rev. C. C. Brown is seriously con? sidering transferring his residence from Beaufort to Columbia.
