DEPARTMENT. STORES.

The question of the depart
ment store must be viewed from
the broad standpoint of the gen
eral public. If a man has a right
to conduct a dry goods store he
must have a legal right to con-
duct hardware store and a shoe
store also, and a legal right to
conduct them together under the
same roof. AS matter of fact
the prototype of the modern de-
partment store IS to be found IN
the great cooperative stores es-
tablished by the Rochda1e pio-
neers and other organizations of
laboring men IN this and other
countries for the purpose of secur-
ing goods and wares of first quail
ity and at lowest cost. The de-
partment store endeavors to effect
the same economies by purchas-
ing for cash in large Quantities
and reducing operating expenses
to the minimum. So far as it is
successful in this the customer
shares the saving IN the cheaper
price at which his purchases are
made. The department store is
one Of the outgrowths of the
new industrialism, and to Sup
press it without supplanting it
with something still more ad-
vanced is as impossible as to abol-
ish the use of railroads and COM
pei people to go back to wagon
freighting."

NEW JERSEY AGRICULTURE.
An Interesting Report on the Condition
of Farming.

An Interesting Report on the Condition
of Farming.
In his latest annual report, just pub
lished, Secretary Franklin Dye, Of the New
Jersey State Board Of Agriculture, said the
work has been growing from year to year
since its organization. He pointed out the
obstacles to prosperity in agriculture which
have been prevalent much Of the time for O
number Of years, and believes the unwise,
abnormal opening to the world Of our pub
lie domain for settlement was temptation
too great to be resisted by many desiring to
improve their condition. That this has
often ended in disappointment and labor
without profit, not only to themselves but
to the older States also, which have been
borne down by the tidal wave Of increased
production above a market at profitable
prices. To assist in harmonizing and ad-
justing our unsettled conditions, remedial
legislation, If possible, consistent with our
system Of Government, should be sought.
Secretary Dye tersely sums up some OF the
obstacles to full prosperity, including debt,
too high rate OF interest. constantly in
creasing taxation, scarcity of efficient farm
help, neglect Of home resources, inatten-
tion to crop diversiflcation and disregard
of organization and cooperation.
Touching upon the dairy industry in New
Jersey, he pointed out the necessity of run
ming the business In such way that farm
ers may hold the market placed at their
very doors, as to milk and cream especially.
Many OF the model barns on extensive dairy
farms can be reproduced on smaller scale
and be just rs comfortable and more profit
able. He believes the percentage of per-
sonal property as compared with real estate
paying taxes returned in the counties con-
tanning large towns and cities is dispropor-
tionately small as compared with the same
classes Of property in the agricultural coun-
ties. Regarding road improvement, he be-
Heves that legislation, whether local OF gen.
eral, should be in the direction Of securing
wide tires on all wagons carrying heavy
loads, their use reducing very materially
the annual cost for repairs. "Let US uni
tedly endeavor," he concludes, "'to make
our county and State boards more and
more practical and helpful to the great in
terests we are called to foster and encour-

ganizations, such as corps, divisions
and brigades, to erect their own mon
uments. Nine handsome granite mon
uments, all different, to the United
States regulars, have been set up by
the Government, at cost of $500
each. Eight pyramidal monuments,
each ten feet high, constructed Of
eight-inch shells, have been erected to
mark the spots where brigade COM
manders on each side were killed.
Each battery engaged is to be marked
in its most important fighting position
by guns and carriages Of the patterns
used in the battle. There are thirty
five of these positions for each army
on the Chickamauga field alone. Five
observation towers of iron and steel,
seventy feet high, have been built, two
on Missionary Ridge and three on
Chickamauga field, from which the
whole landscape below appears clear
and recognizable with its markings.
All designs and inscriptions for mon
uments and tablets have to be submit
ted first to the Chickamauga National
Park Commission and receive approx
al by the Secretary of War in order to
insure reasonable uniformity and har.
mony, as we'll as artistic propriety and
historical accuracy. All monuments
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1897-06-02

must be either of durable stone or
bronze, and all inscriptions must con-
form to the official reports and be pure
ly historical.
Under the law establishing q Ma
tional park at Gettysburg, introduced
by General Daniel E. Sickles, the
Government at once proceeded to ac-
quire the 800 acres and rights of way
over avenues owned by the Gettysburg
Battle Field Memorial Association, and
also to acquire other lands on the bat
tie field by purchase or condemnation.
Additional roads will be opened and
tablets will be set up definitely mark
ing the lines of the troops on both
sides. The rights, however, of States
and military organizations to plats Of
ground on which markers and monu-
ments have already been placed, will in
no wise be prejudiced. The Gettys-
burg National Park Commission, like
that of the Chickamauga Park, will CO.
operate with State commissions in fix
ing positions that are not yet determ-
ined.
A special and noteworthy feature of
the Gettysburg Park, authorized in the
Sickles law, is huge bronze tablet on
pedestal bearing a medallion likeness
of President Lincoln and the whole Of
his immortal address on the occasion of
the National Cemetery dedication at
Gettysburg on November 10, 1863.
There are now nearly 100000
worth of monuments on the Gettysburg
field erected by States and regimental
organizations and military societies.
But until a few years ago there were no
lines OF battle marked, and visitor to
the field, noticing the absence of
monuments on the Confederate side,
would be prompted to ask: against
whom were the Union troops fghting?"
This lack has been supplied, and the
lines of all troops carefully indicated
by tablets, as at Chickamauga, without
censure and without praise, and, above
all, with historical accuracy.
The Shiloh Military Park for which
Congress passed an authorizing act un-
der the lead of Representative David
B. Henderson, Of Iowa, comprises
about 5000 acres, woods and farming
lands. Over 1000 Confederates lie
buried on that hard-fought field (April
6, and 7, 1862, and ill the National
cemetery are 5000 Union dead. A
commission like those of Chickamauga
and Gettysburg has located the battle
lines and sites for tablets and monu-
ments for the 25S organizations en-
gagged in the battle. The arrangement
of roads and brigade sections has been
placed under the supervision of the
best landscape architects procurable
by the War Department. The regula-
tons as to tablets and monuments will
be uniform for all three parks-Chicka-
manga. Gettysburg and Shiloh.
