This will prolong the fruiting season by preventing diseases from destroying the foliage. Plant cabbage and collard sends now to have the plants rvady for transplanting in August. The cabbage will head in November, and the collards will be rady for use from December to March. Continue to plant snap beans every two weeks for a succession of fresh beans. Bountiful, Stringless Greenpod and Valentine are good varieties. Plant a few rows of blackeyed peas after harvesting Irish potatoes. These are fine to use as dry peas during the winter. Plant okra, preferably the White or Green Velvet varieties, if not already planted. Do not allow pods to mature as this will check the growth of the plant and reduce its productiveness. Transplant pepper and egg plants as late as the middle of June. They will produce well during the late summer and early fall.?Clemson College.

ATTENDANCE CONTEST AT S. S. CONVENTION The forty-six counties in South Carolina are in an "Attendance Contest" for the approaching State Sunflay School Convention at Winthrop College, Rock Hill, June S, 9, 10, and the President of each County Sunday School Association has been appointed as the director of the Attendance Contest Campaign in that county, assisted by the County Seeletary and the District Presidents, of whom there are 219 in the State. The contest is on a m oportionate | basis, it is said, the number of registered delegates from each county being multiplied by the railroad distance of the county seat from the Convention, so as to make it fair for ill counties, both those nearby and \ those at a distance. There are no ] "cstrictions as to attendance. The convention, it is said, is a popular neeting and not a delegated one. Ml who attend and register are ac- ' opted as delegates; only those ' lo resgister count in the attendancce ontest. A beautiful banner will be j lu'olicly presented to the County hav- y ng the largest registered attendance j n proportion to the distance traveld.

There are 52,332 postmasters in the country, of whom 39,43^are in the fourth class, and these are protected by tho civil servicn ??? also 700 postmasters of the first-class; 2,617 of the second class; and 9,582 of the third class. President Harding has issued an order which says that "obviously these officers are business agencies of the government in legal purposes and should become so in fact." The process of appointment for these places, upon expiratiofi of the terms of those holding offices, "shall be made from one of three highest eligibles," says the President, who states: "This order applies to all present incumbents of postoffices whose terms have expired and will apply to all incumbents as their present terms expire." There should be plenty of comfort in that for "the man who won the election last fall." r.3 i Alt SALE By virtue of an order of the Probate Court of Chesterfield county, I will on May 31 at, 1921, beginning at 10 o'clock A.

There was but one entrance, r heavy, barred steel gate which was always kept locked when It was not necessary to have It opened for Ingress or egress. Given warning of an attack and with sufficient time to pre* pare for It, 100 of the right sort of fighting men could withstand an Indefinite siege by a force not provided with artillery heavier than an ordlnary field gun. With a full realization of this, therefore, Rlcardo and his confreres had designed to accomplish by strategy that which could not be done by the limited forces at their command. . As the column approached the neighborhood of the arsenal, three detachments broke away from the main body and disappeared down side streets, to turn at right angles later and inarch parallel with the main command. Each of these detachments was accompanied by one unit of the motorcycle mounted machine eun bat terv with Its white crew; two blocks beyond the arsenal square each detacliinent leader so disposed his men as to offer spirited resistance to any sortie that might be made by the troops from the palace In the hope of driving off the attackers of the arsenal. Having thus provided for protection during Its operations, the main body nominally under Dr. Pacheco but In reality commanded by the chief of the machine gun company, proceeded to operate. With the utmost assurance In the world the armored truck rolled down the street to the arsenal entrance, swung In and pointed Its Impudent nose straight at the Iron bars while the hidden chauffeur called loudly and profanely In Spanish upon the sentry to open the gate and let hhn In?that there was necessity for great hurry, since he had been sent down from the palace by the presldente himself, for machine guns to equip this armored motorcar. The sentry Immediately called the ofllcer of the guard, who peered out. observed nothing but the motortruck, which seemed far from dangerous, and without further ado Inserted a huge key In the lock and turned the bolt. The sentry swung the double gates ajur, and with a prolonged and raucous toot of Its horn the big car loafed In. The sentry closed the gate again, while the officer stepped up to turn the bey In the lock. Instead, he died with half a dozen pistol bullets through his body, and the sentry sprawled beside h!m. The prolonged toot of the motorhorn had been the signal agreed upon to apprise the detachment waiting In a secluded hack street that the truck was inside the arsenal wall. With a yell they swept out of the side street and down on the gate, through which they poured Into the arsenal grounds. At sound of the first shot at the gate, the commandants of the garrison, Launched Hlmaclf Into the Heart of the Scrimmage. which had been drawn up In a double rank for reveille roll call, realised he was attacked, and that swift measures were necessary. Fortunately for him, his men were stnndiug at attention at the time, preparatory to recelviriR from him one of those ante-battle exhortations so dear to the Latin soul A sharp command, and the little garrison had fixed bayonets; another command, and they were In line of squads; before the autotruck could be swung sideways to permit a machine gun to [>lay on the Sohranteans In close Formation, the latter had thrown out i skirmish line and were charging; while from the guardhouse window, lust inside the gate, a volley, poured nto the unprotected rear of the truck 'ollowlng Its passage through the rate, did deadly execution. The driver, i bullet through his hack, sagged forvard Into his steel-clad citadel; both nachlne gun operators were wounded, ind the truck was stalled. The sitlatlon was desperate. "I'm a a one goose," mourned Don 1 nan Cefetero, and he leaped from lie shambles to the ground, with some My notion of m%fclng his sseape J! ?? through the gat*. He wu to* lat*. Two m?n, riding tandem on motorcycle with a machine gnn In the speclally constructed side-car, appeared In the entrance and leaped off; almost before Don Juan had time to dodge behind the motortruck to escape possible wild bullets, the machine gun was sweeping the oncoming skirmish line. Don Juan cheered as man after man of the garrison pitched on his face, for the odds were rapidly being evened now, greatly to the pleasure of the men charging through the gate to support the machine gun. Out Into the arsenal yard they swept, forcing the machine gun crew to cease firing because of the danger of killing their own men; with a shock bayonet met bayonet In the center of the yard, and the issue was up for prompt and final decision. - Don Juan's Hibernian blood thrilled; he cast about for a weapon in this emergency, and his glance rested on the body of the dead officer beside the gate. To possess himself of the letter's heavy "cut-and-thrust" sword was the work of seconds, and with a royal good will Don Juan launched himself into the heart of the scrimmage. He had a hasy Impression that he was striking and stabbing, that others were striking and stabbing at him, that men crowded and breathed and Dressed and awore and minted around him. that the fighting-room wn no better than it might have been, but was rapidly Improving. Then the gory fog lifted, and Doctor Pacheeo had Don Jnan by the hand;"they stood together in the arsenal entrance, and the little Doctor was explaining to the war-mad Don Jnan that aft was over In so ikir as the arsenal was con-~~ eeraed?the survivors of the garrison having surrendered?that now, having the opportunity, he, Doctor Pacheco, desired to thank Don Juan Cafetero for his life. Don Juan looked at him amazedly, for he hadn't the slightest Idea what the Doctor wfli talking ahout. He spat, gazed around at the litter of corpses on the arsenal lawn, and nodded his red head approvingly. In nn Incredibly short space of time the news that the arsenal had been captured and that Sarros was. besieged In the palace spread through the city. The sight of the red banner of revolution floating over the arsenal for the first time In fifteen years brought hundreds of willing recruits to the rebel ranks, as Rlcardo Ruey had anticipated; these were quickly supplied with arms and ammunition; by ten o'clock a battalion had been formed und sent off, together with the machine gun company, to connect with the San Bruno contingent advancing rrom me soutn to turn tne flank of the government troops, while the equipping of an additional battalion proceeeded within the arsennl. As fast as the new levies were armed, they were hurried off to re-enforce the hnndful of white men who had, after clenrlng the arsenal, advanced on the nalace and now, with machine guns from the arsenal commanding t?ll a??, nnes of escape from the trap wherein Sarros found himself, were calmly awaiting developments, merely keeping an eye o??en for snipers. Thus the forenoon passed away. By one o'clock Don Joan Cafetero?who la the absence of close-range fighting had elected himself ordnance sergeant? passed out the last rifle and ammunition. He with slaughter, slippery with gun-grease, dripping with perspiration, and filthy wtth dust and dirt. "tiegorra," he declared, "a cowld bottle av beer would go fine now." Then, recalling his limitations, he sighed and put the thought from him. It revived In him, however, for the first time since he had left the steamer, a memory of John Stuart Webster, and his promise to the latter to report on the progress of the war. So Don Juan sought Doctor Pacheco In his headquarters and learned that a signal-man, heliographIng from the roof of the arsenal, had been In communication with General Ruey, who reported the situation well In hand, with no doubt of an overwhelming vlrtnrv hnfnw, ?<? ..n . ?, vvs JT VVA V> C HIV VIO/ should be over. This and sundry other bits of Information Don Juan gleaned and then deserted the Sobrantean revolutionary army quite am casually as he had Joined It, to make hla precarious way down the Calle San Rosarla to the bay.
