oLO TImE vs.. TIE MODERN FARMER

From Mills Statistics of South
Carolina" page $50, printed in 1926,
under the head of Manufactures
we quote the following:
1.-The inhabitants mostly clothe
themselves from their own labor"
The writer of these lines is not as
old as MethuseIah yet he well re-
members when the spinning wheel
and loom were seen in nearly every
farm house.
Like the inhabitants of South Car
DINA the farmers mostly clothed
themselves from their own labor"
The farmer not only made his own
clothes but he tanned his own leath-
er and made his own shoes.
The ash hopper was a familiar sight
in the near proximity to every kitch-
en-.
The farmer made his own SOAP.
The feather pillows and feather
beds, the quilts and counterpanes.
and the pretty rag rug on the floor
next to the bed were all home made.
The wagons, carts and plough
stocks, yOkes for oxen, horse collars.
etc., were all made on the farm.
The smoke houses were filed with
meat and the cribs with corn.
The farmer was independent in
those days,
He loaned his money to the mer-
chant at interest.
The farmer was not worried abont
trusts and freight rates gave hin,
very little concern.
This condition of things kent nm

What sadder picture can meet the
eve than that of an aged man, who

comforts earned by constant and well
directed employment, through tee
visitation Of some calamity. Is sud-

We have in our minds eye the sight
Of q man in this community who is
laboring under the weight Of three
score years and ten; who has led a
life Of frugalicy and activity; there
has scarcely been a day in his long
life that has not been usefully en-
ployed-a day in which he has not
been constantly busy; he had al or
ange grove the proceeds from which
would have supplied him beautifully
with all the comforts Of life in hi- de-
clining years. YET in a night il was
swept away, and in the helplessness
OF his old age, gaunt poverty stares
him mercilessIy in the face.
This man has done enough for his
community not to be forced in his
old age to beg, steal or starve.
Now, in these remarks we would
not be understood as opposing the
bounty the government gives TO her
soldiers.
The soldier deserves every cent he
receives.
The writer himself was a soldier i'm
the civil war, the ashes of his father lie
mingled with she soil of NexicO; a
grandsire was desperately wounded at
the battle of the Cowpens in the revolu
tionary war and a son was a soldier
in the late war with Spain.
A man can render no greater ser
vice than to voluntarily risk his life
in defense Of his country's honor, and
the nation honors itself in making
provision for him. and would still
further honor itself in making pro-
vision for those who have distinguish
ed themselves and glorified their
country in peaceful employments

petuity and grandeur to the nation.

1HE olO NAN IN CITIZENS ErIIaE

If citizen Of the United States OF
America enlists in the army. even for
ever so short time, and though he
may never have been wounded. nor
disabled, yet when he becomes old,
infrm and decrepit, he Is the care
OF his government.
He i not in his old age forced 10
seek shelter Il the poor farm" or
starye
And this generous bounty Of gov
eminent extends 20 the widow after
the old soldier folds his robes about
him. crosses over the river and
bivouacs on more peaceful shore.
This Is the tribute this country
supposed to walk in the footsteps Of
the Prince Of Peace''-pays to the
glittering grandeur and pageantry Of
war.
But If the life of the citizen Is spent
along the paths and in the promotion
Of peace, there Is no provision made
for him by his government when he
becomes incapacitated for labor by
the weight Of advancing years.
He may have been an active, use
ful citizen; he may have builded
houses, constructed railroads. felled
the forests, made many blades CT
grass grow where none grew before;
he may have been an inventor, law
maker, scholar, painter. sculptor,
poet, author, editor, teacher. preach
er, or what not; ne may have been
a benefactor to his state in an hun
dred ways, yetif he never shouldered
a musket nor flashed a saber, if he
never entered the ranks Of those
whose profession it is to MAIN, dis
figure and kill, when age comes upon
him, there is no other escape for him
but the poor farm" beggary or
starvation upon the streets.
And in how many of the states are
there not even poor houses or
poor farms" to shelter the INDECENT,
aged and unfortunate?
Now this, it appears to US, is all
wrong. The man OF peace should
receive the bounty of government
the same as the man of war.
We say it deliberately that ii is ali
a mistake about the pen being
mightier than the sword"
The sword is mightier than the pen,
press, pulpit, shop, field, factory, and

combined.
We bow down and worship before
the man in uniform and treat with
careless disregard the man in citizens
attire.
Why in a christian land should this
distinction be. made in favor of the
soldier?
Why should not the ordinary citi-

The Yuma Project
 We'll Under Way
PLANS FOR GOVERNMENT IRRl. GAPING CANAL IN COURSE
 OF PREPARATION.
Petitions From Land Owners on Mesa Near Yuma Have Been Received at Washington Asking That Pumping Plant Be installed.

Washington, July 2e.-Engineer J. B. Lippiucott. who has charge of The reclamation work in California, has | transmitted a report of the operations in that state for the month Of June 10 Chief Engineer F. H. Newell.
 Three large projects are now under consideration in una, Owens Valley and Sacramento river
 projects-and a general investigation
 is being made of the basin of Klamath
 River.
 Plans ard specifications for the fu- ma project are in course of prepara- ton, as well as a map showing the
 number of acres of land that have been signed up under this project. the num- ber of acres that are subject to the
 reclamation act, the number of acres of vacant land, and the number Of
 acres of unsigned land. and field par
 ties are engaged in collecting data
 upon which to base an estimate of cost.
 Several petitions from owners Of land or the mesa have been received, earnestly requesting all investigation
 to determine the feasibility of pump
 ing water 10 their land, and the engin-
 eers are making estimates on the cost 1 of lifting water from the main canal
 above any of it's drops. an elevation of approximateiy 75 feet. These mesa
 lands are exceedingly fertile. They
 are practically all subjec; to the re- clamation act, and are capable Of pro- Gucing earlier fruits and vegetables
 than probably any other lands in the 1 United States.
 The field work in connection with
 the owens Valley project is progress ing rapidly under the direction of En- ! gineer J. C. Clausen. The total dis charge Of the rivers of this valley has been computed, and stream gazing ex- plorations for reservoir sites, and eX- aminatiOns Of bed rock are in progress. 1 Field parties are making investiga- tiors of possible reservoir sites in l Sacramento Valley, and collecting data for a general report containing con- pilation or all the available statistics relative to the drainage basin of the SacIamento river. It is the desire Of Mir. Lippincctt in preparing this re- | port to make it the authority for all data relative to the engineering condi- | tons Of Sacramento Valley. and to draw some general conclusions there
 rom relative 10 forestry, irrigation and overflow. In view of the fact
 that during February last 500 900 acres or that valley were overflowed by the storm waters of that stream. the data , collected by the Reclamation Service , will be of great value in the work of bringing about better conditions in
 that section.

 Following the arrest of Geo. F. Golden, chief of the packing teamsters' union. for picketing, riots became more frequent near the stock yards this af- ternoon. In one disturbance the mob captured loaded meat wagon after It had left the stock yards, upset the wagon and threw the meat in the streets. The most serious riot of the day occurred in South Chicago. where five men were arrested for trying to prevent the delivery of meat.

Long Drouth in Arizona is at Last

 Broken.
 The climate and Crop service weath- CT gureau at Phoenix has issued the following bulletin, under date of July 26th:
 The drouth in Ar.zona has at last been broken. Showery conditions prevailed generally throughout the territory during the past week. and lair to heavy showers occurred over almost every part of the Territory at some time during the week. The show CTS were generally of a local nature, however, and few localities received but little rain. The flow of water in streams has greatly increased and the supply of irrigation water was tempor- arlly abundant. In Maricopa county. however. il was again diminished con- sloerabiy- The weather has been generally warm during the week. High humidity prevailed also and tended to increase the beneficial eff iects or the rain. In some sections crops were already too much injured by drouth to be benefited by the rains, but where this is not the case

In the lower Colorado valley all crops are still fine. The planting of late crops is still in progress in that sec tlon and good fourth crop of alfalfa Is ready for harvest. In the north ern part or the territory grain is ripening, and some has been harvested In some localities a second crop of al. iaiia is ready to be cut. Gardens and potatoes were generally improved by tne rains The benefits of the rains of the past week will be most largely ielt by the cattle interests. which have already sustained large losses on ac- count of the drouth. It is believed that the losses are now at an end. unless further drouth should ensue. New growth Of grass has already started on the ranges in many localities. Cat tie are moving from these localities where feed has been exhausted. and where water is now to be had.

RICH NEW CAMP.

What looks like a new bonanza camp. across the line in Sonora. is known as the Kings. It is located on the east range about fourteen miles rom Roy. A number of locations nave recently been made there and a good many prospectors are going in. So far there has been nothing done outside of shallow prospecting shafts. These show remarkably rich streaks Of ore from the grass -oots down. Assays from samples brought in dur ing the last week run as high as 140O ounces silver with 2 1t2 ounces gold. The formation looks good for continu- ed values and large lodges at depth. Within the next month CT so lhe new camp will undoubtedly attract much attention.
