A crowd of cavalry from the Pern sylvania military college, however, went gallantly to their rescue, put the young opponents of the movement to rout, and escorted "General" Rosalie Jones and her "army" to this tt*Vioro tV>-will crwand tVlP nisrht. VltJ VT HV/i \s VJUVJ M ? ? u^/v. 0 Prominent iromen suffragists Irom Wilmington, Del., joined -with sympathizers iii' this city in giving the pil/ grims a reception of a nature which did much to make them forget the hardships of their march from Philadelphia. Despite the snow-covered ground, all of the army managed to walk the entire 14 miles from Philadelphia and no desertions have been "V? /\rv J cyui uru. The trim appearance which had been maintained by some -of the younger marchers, however, suffered severely. Miss Phoebe Hawn's shoes gave way under the strain before the journey was half ended and the great toe of her right foot was in evidence Tvhen Chester was reached. Miss Croweii, wnose insistence upon marching with painfully blistered I feet has won her the soubriquet of: "Minerva the Martyr," discarded the! Tieavy tan marching shoes which, she says, have been the cause of her agony, and appeared in a pair of light pumps with high heels. The pumps w-ere practically disintegrated at the end of the day's walk and her feet were in worse condition than ever. This fact, however, Miss Crowell declares, will not prevent her continu ing the march. The start today from Philadelphia was delayed by a reception of the TTniversity of Penr^sylvania law school when thousands of students gave the pilgrims a warm reception. Tomorrow night the women expect to spend in Wilmington, Del., 13 miles closer to their goal. Xo Injunctions Without Hearing. New York, jf'eD. li.?.by reiusmg 10 j grant temporary injunctions on the complaints of employers against the garment workers now on strike and announcing that he would only grant ! permanent restraining orders after a ' "hearing, Judge Hendricks of the State supreme court today took an important stand with reference to the strike that lias been in progress since January 1. The action of the court is almost unprecedent in legai procedure. Judge Hendricks' announcement; came after a conference with the j justices of the appeilatt* division. In it he said: "I have decided to try these cases on their merits beginning next Monday and the appellate di-j vision has authorized me to si? .here; for three months, if necessary, to: take the testimony. I shall not grant injunctions until I have gone thoroughly inio the merits of the cas^. i 1 meant to get down to the causes j of this strike and clear the atmos- j phere if possible. The announcement was made when | six eiupiujero in^u uuuipiamLS -, ing for temporary injunctions against j strikers. Much critism of the of j junction power of courts has been { made in speeches of the strike lead-j ers, and the action of Judge Hen-j dricks is taken because the court of j New York county desires to refrain1 from exercising this power unless the ^ m-ents of the case show that the1 strikers must be restrained. ?

On neighboring farms where the ordinary methods were followed the average was 17.5 i bushels per acre.

C. Plunkett, manager 1 of the department, show what is bftj ing accomplished by farmers living 'along the lines of the Southern Ri'l' and affiliated eomnanie<; through ' the aid of the agricultural experts, i the farmers in all cases cultivating their own land with the resources at i ; their command. The work of this de; partment has been extended to all I States served by the Southern RailI way and affiliated lines, field agents having been placed in Virginia, North ! and South Carlina, Georgia, Kentucky, and Tennessee in September, 1912. ! Thev have been cordially received and it is expected that their work will prove as successful as that of the ; agents in Alabama and Mississippi. The department of farm improve' ment work grew out of the- movement ! inaugurated by President Finley to i aid the fanners in the territory threat- | ened by the Mexican boll weevil to learn how to grow cotton in spite oi* ; the weevil. For this purpose practical farmers who had grown cotton in Texas under boll weevil conditions were employed and their work proved so successful in not only aiding iar-; mers to successfully combat the w-ee-1 vil but also in teaching them how to j g t larger yields per acre by the adop- j tion of proper methods of culture, rotation of crops, and greater attention to live stock raising, that President Finley determined to extend the benefits of this work to the entire ritory along the Southern ana uifiiiated lines. The field agents in the service of the department are agricultural experts whose services are given without any cost to the farmers and who work in full cooperation with j the State and federal departments of j agriculture, and the various State i agricultural colleges. MAY RESUSCITATE G. 0. P. Root and Crane Indorse Proposal for j Convention.?Wonld Reform the Rules. Washington, Feb. 19.?Prospects 'lor a repuDiican national conveuuuu | next fall to revise rulqe governing! the election of national delegates and j to change the basis of Southern- rep-l res-entations was strengthened today through expressions favoring the proposed national gathering by Sen- i, ator Root of Xew York and Senator! Crane of Massachusetts. Demand for a republican conven tion has been based upon the desire! to make such changes that States j will have the opportunity to select J their delegates through primaries or j otherwise and to cut down the num- I i ber of delegates from States present-) ing a light republican vote. "I am in favor of holding a re-' publicsn convention at some convenient time next fall or winter," said ' o. - - A- - i Senaior ttOOl, WHO wits t'uaiiiuau ui j the Chicago convention last June,' "for the purpose of doing two things: "First, to make representation in national conventions proportional to the republican vote?that is, correcting the disproportion in what is; spoken of as the Southern representation. > "Second, to permit the republicans ! of each State to elect delegates to na-; tional conventions in their own way! so that the choice in each State will1 he regulated according to the laws ofj the State. i | "In order that these changes shall i be effective in a convention to iiom-: inate a president they must be made; before that convention and that can, be done by a special convention. The j national committee is still bound by j the old rules, which were adopted' by tfie convention of 1SS0. They will' have to call the next convention jui, I I as they did tne last one, unless a: special convention is called to makej the changes which certainly ought to j be made." Senator Crane also indorsed the convention plan, No definite steps have yet been taken toward issuing a call for the convention. Expressions by members of various factions ofi the party indicate that efforts will he ! necessary to bring republicans from' all Stntrs together within the pres' ii! yt-''V for t%- revision.

BAD AS BIND TIGER. >Ian Who Transports Purchased Contraband Held Guilty.?Deci-^ sion by Judge Shipp. j Anderson, Feb. 19.?In South Car-1 ! olina the purchaser of whiskey from ' ' a blind tiger is guilty of a violation ! I of the law and is punishable just as j j is the seller. This is the substance j of an order handed down by Judge I Shipp in affirming the judgments of the recorder of this city in several liquor cases. Several weeks ago the authorities of! this city employed two white detec- j tiv-es to work up liquor cases. These i detectives stopped as guests of the ; several hotels and managed to *get' some of the porters, waiters and bell boysboys -o get whiskey for them. About 15 cases of this kind were the r ru* nlf) X COU II/. When the cases were brought to trial the offense charged was transporting contraband liquor rather than the charge of selling liquor. Each of' the defendants admitted delivering j whiskey from a blind tiger and several that they were acting as the agents of Ci the purchasers; that they themselves did nothing: more than carry the whis-! key from the blind tiger to the detectives. They stated they got the whiskey from a blind tiger and several of the defendants named the person who they claimed let them have the whiskey. The person named had skipped when the officers went for him. Jnries Thought So. The casts were tried before juries! in the recorder's court, and verdicts j of guilty were returned. 4PPea^s ^ere j made to the circuit court, and were: . ? neara oy juage snipp. rne attor- g I neys, arguing the appeals for th-e de- I J fendants, admitted that the whiskey j B came from a blind tiger and admit- j ted, that so long as the whiskey was | in the hands of the blind tiger it was! * however, thai, the character of the | J[ contraband whiskey. They argued, j whiskey changed when it passed into Foi the hands of the defendants because j they had obtained possession of it for a lawful purpose, and that it was not, therefore, contraband whiskey, and that the recorder erred in sentencing j :hom for transporting whiskey. j Judcfc ShiDD said that in his onirvion ! the whiskey, which was admitted by! the defendants to be contraband at: one time, remained contraband after it had changed hands. He, therefore, handed down following order af- /in firming the judgments of Recorder Frieson: The Opinion. "The defendant herein was convicted in the recorder's court of the city of Anderson for the olfense of trails- Importing contraband liquors in vio- UK lation of section 51 of the code of laws of said city, reading as follows: mil Section <>1. It shall be de-emed a I misdearaeanor for any persons to j . transport, handle, store or conceal |JXI within the city of Anderson any illicit I or contraband alcoholic liquors. "My findings of the fact from the j yv ill f llicll lilt; uei-f IlUclllLS either as agent or principal, purchased and obtained intoxicating liquor in the city of Aixlerson from a person whom defendant knew was not au thorized by law to sell same, and that this defendant thereupon transported Xc said liquor from one place to another undo in said city and delivered it to a third New person. offic< "I hold a? a matter of law that the a. m transportation in this city of this j pUbl liquor by this defendant, after ob-. serv< taining it through a sale he knew was i and unlawful, was a violation of the ordi-iscrvi nance against transportation of eon-1 Cxen^ trahand 'imior.
