ONE of the most rotten and contempt
ible editorials that it has eyer been our
misfortune to read appeared in the
Cresset of last week wherein the editor
of that sheet attempts to criticise the
legislature in its reduction of the out
rageous stockyards charges at Kansas
City. The fact that the company has
completed arrangements to withdraw
from the state, across the line into
Missouri, does not make the action of
the Kansas legislature wrong in the
least. This concern has been robbing
the stockmen of the west for, 10, these
many years and it was time that Kan
sas should proclaim that this kind of
business must cease. If the people of
Missouri do their duty it will not be
long until that state has similar law.
1t makes us very weary to see a mar
contracted, selfish excuse for an
editor, set up wall every time the leg
islature compels corporation to act
halfway decent, on the plea that you
are hurting the state by driving a
great corporation out of its jurisdio-
tion." Nonsensel 1t is better that
they should be gone--it is good rid
dance. The idea that the people of
state or community should lie supinely
down and submit to robbery in order
TO retain the citizenship of thief, can
originate only in half-cracked, half
baked rattlebrain. . Lord, look down
on this political imbecile with pity and
charity

THE stocky ards robbed the people
and the POpulist legislature enacted a
law restraining them, with the result
that they left the state. The ms ur.
ance companies robbed their customers
and a Popullst insurance commission
er called halt, and some of them left
the state. Now loud cry is going up
from the 2x4 republican papers because
the Populists have driven some mice
citizens out of the state" Don't pun
ish the thieves, they might leave the
state! 1t is fair to say, however, that
not all the republican are thus encour-
aging theft ard dishonesty. The re-
spectacle ones endorse what the Popu-
lists have done in this respect.

Starvation Impending.

The Columbia Record says Governor
Ellerbe has received letter from Mr..
Thomas Talbird, OF Beaufort, in refer
ence to the effects of the storms on
the coast during August and October.
he says most Of the farmers in the
damaged portion Of the county on the
tide water are in need Of assistance.
Blufton township, which suffered most,
is inhabited by white farmers. Prior
to the storms their crops we're fine: But
all of this was changed by the huri-
cane. After giving details Of the de-
struction in other parts Of the county,
Mr.. Talbird concluded: 'The people
need food, clothing and medicine, and
if something is not done to relieFe their
immediate necessities great suffering,
if not actual starvation, will result:
Governor Ellerbe says he has no funds
of the state available fol their aid, but
the fact that suoh conditions exist will
doubtless appeal to the generosity OF.
the people of the state and country.
This is terrible state of affairs, and
should appeal to the sympathies OF the
charitable in all parts Of the State. An
organized movement should be started
to relieve these people.

More Time Needed.

The Columbia Record says lit is the
policy of the state officials as well as
the legislature never to encourage the
idea that the time for the payment OF
taxes without penalty will be extend
ed. Warnings have been sent out an.
nually that such an extension would
most positively not be granted. But
legislators always look ahead and want
to please their constituents. AS con.
sequence the penalty has been remitted
or the time extended from sessions I'M
memorial. The prospects are that the
time will have to be extended this year
unless the authorities want to ruin hun
dreds of good, honest men. They are
not confined to any particular class
the farmer, che merchant, the lawyer
and everybody else are the victims of
four cent cotton. They just haven't
got the money to pay right now and
that's all there is aboutit it. This report
comes from all over the state. The
newspapers are full of it. Even in
such a rich city as Charleston taxpay-
ers are remarkably slow in settling.
The time for the payment Of taxes this
year will have to be extended, or there
will be a lot of land to be sold at de-
linouent land sale.

About Posting Lands.

At recent session, the general as
sembly made material changes in the
statutes relating to the posting of lands.
The law as it now stands is as follows:
Section l75. Every entry upon the
lands of another, after notice from the
owner or tenant prohibiting the same,
shall be misdemeanor, and be pun
ished by q fine not to exceed ONE hun
dred dollars OF imprisonment with hard
labor on the public works Of the county
not exceeding thirty days.
Provided, That whenever any owner
or tenant of any lands shall post no.
tice in four conspicuous places on the
borders of any land prohibiting entry
thereon, and shall publish once week
for four successive weeks such notice in
any newspaper circulating in the county
where such lands are situate, proof Of
the posting and Of publishing Of such
notice within twelve months prior to
the entry, shall be deemed and taken as
notice conclusive against the person
making entry as aforesaid for hunting
and fishing.

Farmers Changing Plans.

The Carolina Spartan says the price
of cotton and the outlook for the flu
ture have set farmers to thinking and
planning. Even in the famous cotton
belt of this State where they make
bale to the acre, with the aid of S. to
s6 of commercial fertilizer they feel
that they are losing by the operation.
When the fertilizer and picking jerk $40
to $l2 out Of 500-pound bale OF cot
ton; the farmer will hardly have his
seed clear. Many Of the farmers Of the
cotton belt are turning their attention
to oats. tobacco and sugar cane. The
Piedmont farmers should double their
grain crop and raise more hogs and cat
tie. Just now fine beef cattle are quot
ed at S.. 80 gross in the Northwest. Re
Gently a Kentuckian bought and ship
ped several carloads of cattle from the
upper part Of this county to his State.
They will be turned into fine Kentucky
beef after being fed awhile. This
should be hint to our people to raise
cattle. Bermuda grass pastures will
feed them about half the year. The
flooded lands on small streams could
be set in this grass. 1t would give
good pasturage and prevent washing.
The reason that western beeves bring
/ to 5! cents gross is because they are
pound and large. One Of our ordinary
COWS, which has been milked several
years will lose 80 to 60 per cent. in
dressing. That is, a COW weighing 900
pounds gross will give about 400 pounds
of beef when dressed. The Western
two-years olds weighing l,2OO to 1900
will lose little more than the cattle
which are slaughtered here. When
butcher buys young steer or heifer
weighing 1900 pounds he expects 700
to 500 pounds Of beef. The farmers Of
the Piedmont should raise more beef.
By getting the large breeds and cross
ing on native cattle they could bring up
the size and the price. If the home
market should be fully supplied there
would be no trouble selling them in
other States.

Very Poor Logic.

An exchange says abolish the lien
law and there will be less cotton raised.
The fact is the lien law has but little to
do with raising cotton. All the mer-
chant wants is his pay for the supplies
furnished and he does not care whether
it comes out of corn peas or cotton.
The truth of the whole matter is the
cotton crop is in the land owners. When
they say nothing else will do but cotton
then the renter has no choice. When
the land owners are willing to take rent
in whatever is raised on the rented land
the farmers and renters combined can
reduce the cotton crop and not before.
The lien law is the poor mans depen-
dence and should never be taken from
him

The Way to Farm.

B. D. Srpings, of Charlotte, n. c.,
owns and operates several farms in York
county, this State. This year his crop
acreage consisted of Of 100 acres of corn,
900 acrea of cotton and 100 to $50 acres
in pea VINES. He doesn't have fodder
pulled any more, but cuts down his corn
early in the fall, and after it is cured
in shocks pulls off the ears and has the
stalks, fodder and shucks cut up in a
Shredder and the mixture stover"
it is called-is worth much more than
fodder as stock food. Instead of SELL
ing or putting his cotton seed back on
the land he buys 100 steers in North
Carolina every year, swaps his cotton
seed for meal and hulls on which he
fattens the cattle. Last year after fgur-
ing all expenses he had clared seven
hundred dollars in cash on the steers,
besides having oceans Of manure all
maid for.

Tobacco In Oralgeburg.

The Orangeburg correspondent of
the News and Courier says an effort IS
being made to get the people OF
Orangeburg interested in the cultiva-
ton Of tobacco. The plan is to get
enough we'll to-do farmers to obligate
themselves to planta certain acreage
in tobacco during the coming year as
an experiment to justify the employ
ment of practical tobacco expert to
come to Orangeburg to render assist
ance both in the cultivation, the cur
ing and the marketing of the crop.
Some of the farmers who are leading
the movement are willing to put up a
tobacco ware house, so that the crop
that may be made can be disposed Of
right at home if the farmers generally
are willing to take hold of the matter,
and enoug h Of them will agree to plant
tobacco to give fair prospect for sue.
cess for the experiment. A meeting OF
the farmers Of the county has been call
ed for today to discuss this matter.
1t is understood that there will be pres
ent at the meeting by invitation certain
experienced tobacconists, who will be
prepared to give the farmers present
any information desired by them con-
cerning this crop. Several of the
farmers of Orangeburg county have
planted small quantities Of tobacco tor
several years past. but, owing to the in
convenience of marketing the leaf, they
have never realized any special profit
from their experimenting. The lands
of Orangeburg ought to produce as fine
tobacco as those Of other sections OF
the State There is almost every va
riety Of soil in this county.

As result of the Hispano-American
war there are IS newly-made graves in
South Carolina. When the First regi

went to defend the countrys honor lit
tie did the soldiers anticipate decima
ton in their ranks. The one prevalent
idea, the one uppernost in their minds,
was duty and perhaps the thought OF
death Of even one soldier never occur
red to them.
Several Of the companies lost no men
from illness and the heaviest misfor-
tune to betall one company was the
loss Of five men. The first death to
occur in the regiment was about six
weeks after the regiment was mustered
into service. In most Of the instances
de-th resulted from fever.
Only one commissioned officer in the
regiment is numbered with the dead.
That is Col. Joseph K. Aston, whose
recent death, is we'll remembered and is
still lamented here. The majority of
those who died in the line of duty were
privates.
There was only one death in company
