SENATOR HEFLIN MAKES A GREAT SPEECH Hon. John T. Heflir., senator from Alabama, is not at all backward in coming forward when he gets the Republicans in Congress in a tight place. When he spoke recently upon the tax revision question, Mr. llellin put the matter up to the Republican .senators in a strong and caustic manner, as will be seen from these extracts from his speech to which wo yield our editorial space: "Mr. President, it seems that the Republican majority is removing all government taxes from the shoulders of the big holding companies and the privileged profiteers and unloading it upon those least aide to pay taxes of any kind. Distribute the taxes equally and justly. When you tax the big concern in any way it is so small that it is scarcely felt by it; but your tax on the poor is heavy and burdensome. I am reminded of the fellow who was selling rabbit hash. A gentleman purchased and tasted some ol the hash and said, '1 do not taste much rabbit in this hash. How do you make it?' The vendor of the hash replied, T make it out of horse Hush and rabbit meat.' 11 is customer ask ed, 'What proportion of horse flesh and what proportion of rabbit meat do you use?' He replied, 'Fifty-fifty. 'Well, what do you mean?' The vendor replied, 'One hoist- to one rabbit.' "That is what the Republican majority is doing today. "You are going on the fifty-fifty plan?a tax burden the size of u horse for the average man and a rabbit-sized tax for the favored millionaire. "Mr. President, a little earlier in the day we saw this Republican sen ate remove the tax from line and costly furs. Yes; you have taken the taxes off of these line and cosly luxuries. They are beautiful things; 1 love to look at them; they cost a heap of money, and very few peoph can afford to buy them. 1 lie cost ol some of them runs into the thousands. | but the Republican majority has fixed it so that they can be bought now tax free, while the common man out on his farm who wants to buy an auto truck to haul his produce to the market and to carry on his work about the farm is going to have collected from him 111 vrw r,u out., t - - " while fine l'urs go tax free. j "I am reminded of a story which was told by Represntutive Humphries, of Mississippi, about a negro down in that state, which illustrates just the result to the masses of the taxes which are to be m ;>< >1 by this bill. A northern man went down to Mississippi and bought a farm. He wont over to talk to a negro who lived on a part of the plantation about the soil and its productivity. He said, 'I n cle, 1 understand you make line crops here.' T!i.? negro said, 'Yjs, sir: I do. but do ducks got it.' The noithera man said, 'The what'." The negro repeated, 'Do ducks go; it all.' 'Why,' the northern man sa'\ 'the gentleman from whom 1 ijonolit '.hi land never told me anything about any ducks eating up the crop.' liut the negro repeated, 'De <1 i< get it.' The northern man said, '1 vui ,*o hack to see the man of whom I pjc-based the farm.' He went hack, and he asked 'What about that plsee you sold me? The negro says that the ducks eat the crops.' 'Why,' the man said,'I never heard of any ducks being there. I will go with you over and -cj about it.' The former owner of the plac e asked the negro, 'What about the ducks eating the crops I never saw a duck here.' The negro said, 'Well, yes, sah; you know when I go up there to Settle mv account-: "am . v... v.. , ./U ou y , me uutton has come to so much, hut you bought $ 1 li *> worth of sugar' and you say, 'I do duck that;' you say, 'You bought .$.-,0(1 w.n'h of meat and I de duck that; you bought eolTee; you bought flour; you bought clothes, shoes, hats and all' and each time you says 'I de duck that.' So when we get through with it it just about evens up, and 1 just tell them 'de ducks' got it. '"That is exactly what Republican Senators are doing in the pending bill?'de ducks' are going to get what the little fellow has got. The man with but little working capital, the man of moderate means, the common man, who requires nece -ities upon which to live, is gong to pay the tax; and when he gets through with it under the Republican administration 'de ducks will have got it all.' " TO BE GOOD ROADS ALL AROUND SOUTH CAROLINA Columbia, Nov. 14.?Officials of the South Carolina Good Roads Association say that the action of the conference of mayors of the state is asking the Governor to recommend to the General Assembly that the necessary steps be taken to insure a bond issue for the construction of highways will meet with a state-wide approval. "There will never be more opportune tim* for the construction of permanent highways than the next two years," says the statement. "The cost of construction will be lower and there will be an abundance of labor. The construction of the roads will give employment to thousands who arc now out of work or who will be out of work. 'jjt is absolutely necessary that the slate inaugurate a road-building pi?o-. gram on a large scale if it is to keep pace with its sister states. North Carolina has alrcudy Ligun the expenditure of a bond issue of $50,000,000 und Virginia is planning a bond issue of $25,000,000. Georgia is spending a large sum and is planning the expenditure of an even larger sum. Florida is spending a large sum. "jso mat it can be seen that it is squarely up to South Carolina to get busy. Next year will be the opportune | time," WINTER LEGUME GREEN MANURE CROPS PAY C'lcinson College, Nov. 14.?One of the most striking series of experiments testing the efficiency of legume, green manure crops was carried out on the poor depleted soils of Southern California over a period of seven years, says N. E. Winters, extension agronomist, in speaking of the value of winter legumes as green manure crops. Nine different winter legumes were used in the test and three nonlegumes. were used in the test and legumes were used. Six different indicator crops were used following the green manure crops. Th legumes were found to be far superior to the non-legumes as green manure crops whin measured by 'heir effects on the field crops followng. 'i he legumes plowed under inreased the yield of potatoes 39 per cent, over the non-legumes; corn 45 per cent.; cabbage, 44 per cent.; sugir beets, 44 per cent.; sorghum, 25 'lt ltiii. aim smian grass,IB percent, i he average of all crops showed 37.7 crease following a legume green ; iiure crop over a non- legume sin h is rye.

Rye turned under ius 000 pounds of nitrate of soda . its equivalent in dried blood gave 0 per cent, increase in yield over ye alone; and rye plus 1000 pounds if nitrate of soda gave six years an average increase of 51 per cent, over rye alone. Although these soils reponded well to applications . of ither nitrate of soda or dreid blood ne commercial form of nitrogen did iot give the increases that the legume green manures gave. The iverage for the nine legumes showed over 37 per cent, increase above the ion-lgume compared with the 30 per cut. increase for the commercial, ieiatctus indica, an annual sweet clover, showed an increase of 57 per 1 nt. as compared with a pi per cent.

Woottibn's Inexperience made him the butt of uiuny a Joke among St. Vrnln'8 veterans, and one Incident did not add greatly to bis reputation among them. One night " when the ___ train had been corralled as usual in a circle, young Wootton was posted aa a guard, with orders to tire at any moving object outside the corral. After some hours he saw a form moving about nearby, and promptly opened fire. The traders, awakened by hla shot, rushed out, to find that young Dick had killed one of their tnulea which had wandered out of the corral. Dick soon lived down his blunder. however, by bis courage In a tight with a band of Comauches.a few days later. Here Wootton killed his tirst Indian.
