THE Granbury News believed
the land policy adopted by Texas
in 1879 was a grievous mistake,
and subsequent events have
proven it so. Hon. Joe Sayers
was one of the few men in public
life at that time with sufficient
nerve to stand up in the face of
public sentiment and oppose that
ruinous land policy. He went
down in defeat, but after twenty
years of experience the people
may atone for their mistake by
putting him at the head of the
state administration.

There are u great many other things
besides celery that we can grow in this
country cheaper than we can grow cot
ton at cents and pay other people to
grow them for us.
Ce cry can be grown right here in
Newberry and has been and is grown
here but very little OF it has been put
on the market. Somehow our people
have gotten into the notion that that
which comes from afar is better because
OF the distance. We will have to rid
ourselves of that idea
We must make more than we spend
or we will remain poor and hard times
will abide with us.

The Grcenville News is turning Its
attention to agricultural matters In its
section with good effect. Is latest ven,
turc is as follows: "H estcrday we had
at dinner celery grown in Greenviiie
County. 1t was purchased from the
man who grew it. 1t was decidedly the
best celery we have seen this season,
very white and firm and the Iavor eX-
ccllont. In fact, IT was superior to that
which is usually imported to this state
whether from Kalamazoo or elsewhere.
The price was 10 cents bunch, Two
lunches for Is cents. The price for
the celery imported by green grocers
is 10 cents bunch or three for 70 cents.
Celery is IN expensive vegetable. Peo"
pie pay high for it, and much money Ia
annually sent out Of South Carolina to
buy it. The Greenville County farmer
can produce q quality of celery which
cannot be surpassed. Intelligent and
entorprising Greenville County farmers
can produce great deal OF celery anCc
sell it for great deal OF money, ano
they can do it without materially de
crcasing the cotton acreage" 1t is
profitable hint for oil South Caroline
farmers who will heed 1t. Much none.
Is sent out of South Carolina to bu!
celery, which might and should go In
to the pockets of South Carolina farm

FOR REELECTION.

We published Friday an interview
from Gov. Ellerbc in which he seemed
indignant at somc Of the newspaper
criticism of him in his recent dealing
with dispcnsary cOnstahlcs ancnt the
Newbold episode. Among other things
he renewed his faith in the dispcnsary
and announced his intention of running
for reelection and being willing to
stand on his record.
Without further proof we shall have
to take Gov. Ellerhe's statement that
he had no communication with New
bold before ho was arrested, though
we printed the statement OF the cores
pondcnt at Chester on which he based
the assertion that Newbold had beer
in communication with the authorities
and had been advised when to snrrcn
der.
We do think, however, that it was
unfortunate that Gov. Ellcrhe shoult
have granted a full pardon to two con
stables who had been convicted OF kill

rood to the farmers. Certainly "a bR
is no reason why they should not or
ranizc for their own interests. All
trades and professions have their Or
raniZutons for their mutual bcneht,
and there Is no reason why the turner's
should not also be organized.
There is one breaker upon which oil
former attempts to organize the lar-
mcrs have stranded, and that is poll
tics. Rcalizing the voting strength OF
the farmers the willy politician has ncv-
or failed to sec his opportunity to hop
upon the band wagon, and owing to the
timidity and coniiding spirit which as
Il rule governs the tillcr OF the SOIL: the
politiciun soon has the rcins and drives
the procession into ug~ ID fat Office for
himself The ALLIANCE is u good Or
gunization, but it soon rushed into pol
itics. and while disclaiming partisan
politics it was soon u partisan organl-
zation and power in politics. 1t mas
lost in consequence much OF its formcr
power and many Of the best and most
successful farmers on this account
stood uloof from it altogether. 1t saw
salvation only in legislation. We arc
not blaming tho politicians. That 10

Our contemporary is little severe
though VIC feel that in some respects
the rebuke is deserved. y free bridge
rs indicated and as we have aforctimcs
remarked would be Of more benefit to
Newbcrry in financial way than TO
Suluda. It docs seem to MS poor ccono-
my that Ncwbcrry should refuse opay
not exceeding $1,000 for this bridge
when Snludu had agreed to put up$7oo
The excuse was no excuse. Some ol
the members claimed they would favor
this bridge if that wOnld end ii. But
they said if this one was built another
would be wanted. Suppose there
had hccn demand for another? Let
that demand stand on its own merits
and decide on it when it comes
ND. AS for our part We should nave
favored another bridge If it had
been desired. We should make 1T rs
convenient as possible for our neigh
bors to come over and sec us and sell
their cotton at our markets and buy
their goods from merchants. What
helps our towns ps our county, 1T
is false doctrine to nold any other posi-
tiop.
But We started ont to say to our con-
temporary that the free bridge is not
yet dead. Let MS have dclivcrancr
from Il full board as we understand We
are to have, Two members were alb
sent and while not knowing Of our owl
knowledge and therefore not speaking
with authority still we believe the.
would favor Ncwborry doing her par
to have this bridge. We hope, there
fore, that the county board Of Salud
will not be in a hurry to rcscind its nt
ton for this bridge will bc Il great co,
vcnicnce to Il great many Of her cit
Hcns.
And the following from he Salud
Advocate:
Last Saturday at NC ting of I'll
County Board of COMMITS sioncrs
Newbcrry County the Board decide
not to give anything for the buildil
of steel bridge at kcmps0n' Fcr>
over Suluda river. Sometime ago '
suggested certain conditions on Il
compliance of which We Thought o
county should give 500 toward t
buiiding Of this bridge, and what :
said was mildly criticised by onr
trcmcd contemporary, the News Il
Herald. Now just here we would Ii
to call the attention OF our contcml
rary to this: When the conditions
suggested were complied with,

Saluda's part. Had our contcmpor'
figured Ncwbcrry's part down--as
said we did Saluda's part, Ito nice
the bridge project would not hi
been defeated, but would have bee
success.
Well you sec We do not have the
fucncc with our county board that'
contemporary seems TO have with
Saluda board. Still we hope "thc bri
project" is not entirely defeated.
