steps The condition wss handed
down to humanity from remote
antiquity with only , lew bright
cases III the great dessrt OF agri-
cultural ignorance. When the
republic Of Rome vas in it glory |
agriculture was looked upon -
the noblest occupation Of man.
and her greatest statesmen and
warriors were farmers who with
their own hands yoked the bull |
ocks and guided the pillow. It was
much the same in Greece ct one
period of her history and in Cart
hage and Syracuse. But with
these exceptions agriculture was
held to be the work of slaves or
blockheads. But farming % . pro-
fession is emerging from its "dsrk
ages and farmers are recovering
their heritage of intelligence. pro-
gress and prosperity. The world
begins to realize the fact that .
farmer can hardly have too much
knowledge of everything that per-
tains to agriculture, or possess too
much sound judgment and BUSH
ness knowledge. The country de-
ponds upon farmers for good clo-
thing and the material for mer-
chandise and are as much interest
ed in farming as farmers them
selves. Others can no more live
and thrive without farms and
farmers than farmers can them
selves. Therefore the people, the
, general government. the states,
, counties and even cities can in no
, other way 80 effectually serve their
own interests as by doing all they
, can lawfully do to promote the ill.,
!, terests of agriculture.

Keeping A Full Stock.
Farm and Ranch.

Farm ana nencn.
The businesslike merchant usu-
ally keeps for sale every article in
bis line which he may be able to
sell at a profit. What would be
thought of a clothier who would
keep in stock only coats, pants and
vests, because he knows more
about their material and make
than he does about the numerous
other articles that enter into q
complete gentleman's clothing out
fit? And yet farmers do business
that way. While there are q great
number of farm products which
they may grow and sell, or use in
the manufacture of other products
to sell, they will stick to cotton
because they have always done 30,
and know more about cotton than
anything else, and it requires but
little skill to grow one-third OF a
bale per acre, and no skill to sell
it. That which requires the great.
est amount of knowledge or skill
to produce is always more prohta-
BILE than that which anybody can
make, or produce. In this matter
farmers would do we'll to initiate
successful business men, and keeI

can conveniently handle. There
may be a sort of fascination

will yield more than the suppose
crop of cotton. But the none

Gathering the Harvest OF

Abbeville Neridional.

The sad tragedy recently enac-
ted in Columbia, s. O., wherein
Gonzales, editor of the State news
paper, was shot and killed by Lieu
tenant Governor Tillmsn. affords
a lesson which all journalists
should ponder we'll.
One of the merits of the case we

Much as we may sympathize
with Gonzalez beresved family,
candor compels the admission that
his lack of charity and venomous
pen brought about his death. The

Memphis, June 21.-Shreveport beat Memphis today in the ninth inning with the bases full. Mcintyre forced in two by his wildness and with good hitting by the visitors four more tallies were made. The victory was the most popular ever accorded visiting team In this city. When the winning runs were scored near ly every occupant of the grand stand stood and cheered themselves hoarse. Fans, handkerchiefs, umbrellas and the like were wildly thrown Into the air.
 This strange proceeding on the part of the spectators was brought about by un- popular tactics on the part of the home players The game was started in a drizzling rain and after Memphis had scored five runs in two innings several of the local players apparently burlesqued the game in order to have 1t called. Rain checks were not good after the third in ming and a storm of hlsses greeted the performance. The downpour ceased im- mediately afterward and the game was concluded. Attendance, 25OO Score

light on the motives which prompted the indicted packers to create the National Packing company. It is seemingly sub terfuge to escape Judge Grosscup's per manent injunction and complete the pack ing house merger. Negotiations are said to be under way for the purchase of the Lipton plant and also that of Boyd, Lunham & Co. When these negotiations are completed the trust will be in a fair way toward having it's plans con- summated.
 The American Society of Equity or the Farmers Trust held it's first meet ing In Indianapolis few days ago. The meeting was large and enthusiastic, but secret. The society now claims and or- ganzation in nearly every state, and it's members are reaching toward 100000 The board of directors consists of men who are crop specialists. There will be win ter wheat specialists, spring wheat spe- cialists and specialist representing oats corn. southern fruit western fruit and every branch of the agricultural industry These men will study carefully the reports of local secretaries and from them will compute what should be an equitable minimum price for each commodity. When this price is determined it will be sent to every state in the union at exactly the same time, and no member of the society will sell his grain for less than the price fixed. If the price of wheat is fixed at $1 per bushel that will be the least that any man will take for his crop. The organizers of the movement claim that by September they will have 1000. 900 mem- bers, who will own such amount of grain that when held off the market it will soon reduce the available product that prices will boom. President P. A. Everett says that the withdrawal of the grain owned by the members from the channeIs of trade will have the same effect on the market that drought or any other great agent causing a failure of crops would have

Eastern staples were practically unsale- able at the rates required, and the shirt ing trade was much depressed.
 Yarns were also inactive, the users pur- suing a hand to mouth policy and the spinners complained bitterly of the diff ficulty of selling, even at their reduced output.
