Reduced Acreage 80 Per Cent.

Liberty, April 18th, 1905.-At n
meeting of the Farmers Educational
aud Cooperative Union of Americ,,
the members II ported on cotton acre.
hgo Tor this year a. compared with
last year. When checked up ana
averaged, it showed reduction of
30 per cent, showing that while wo
have not blown off thu hunse top to
show to the world what we wcro in
tending to do, and slipping along
putting i'll II largo crop OF cotton
than last year. We don't havo to
sign pnpers to make our work eiiec
tive, but our mtmb,ls see and know
their place and duty too well tol cd
any local sJ-called pledges.
There is sons chance for the mem
bers of the Union (or any others) t.
hold their own in this tussle by rails
ing every thing that wo can that is
needed on tho farm in sufficient
quantity to have little to spare, and
then what cotton can bo handle Il
without neglecting The more impor
taDt crops. In sEorI, let the cytton
be a side line, then We can hold from.

little to buy, it won: not require.
much money 10 keep things going.
Instead of having the railroad forevc,
hauling to US anAs us hauling from
tho railroads, let u hnul TO the rail
road and lot them haul from us, and
the other fellow ply the freight bills.
The man who has plenty of corn,
"heat' meat, potatoes, ETC., can go

The Reason Why.

4 correspondent asks why thore
is SO much illit,racy in South Car
olina in view Of the fact that SO
much money is spent for the maln-
tenance Of pubic schools.
1t is Il very pertinent question
and has been asked in various
forms many times before. The
answer is plain-the State has nc
compulsory education law. While
it compeIs its citizens to pay the
school tax it does not compel lhcn
to send their children 10 school
Most parents do send their Child
rpD to school, but somo do not
and it is these who do not make
up this percentage Of illiteracy--
ilIiteracy here moaninS simply the
inability to read and write.
After moro than thirty five years
of Tree schools, with large per
cent Of illiteracy il in the State still,
it is passing strange that men are
yet found who are opposed to COM
pulsory education. Tfore are such
men-they constitute a majority
of the legislature.
Until tho State has compulsory
cduca,ion it will continue to show
a considerable pr outage of 81 :

The Only Way to Do 1t,

The Only Way to Do 1t,
Farmers. arc YOU thinking Of the
time when wo will be able to con.
troll our Gotten ? If SO, twill never
come until we are able to control
ourselves, and our affairs at home.
We must start this grand ,-opera
. ton plan aud concert Of action at
home, cooperating with cows, hogs,
horses, poultry and our families by
making more food crops. This i.
beyond doubt the one fundnmen"
tai prin ciple that under. les The
whole thing; tl'ls is the great bu'
wark and furtiticati"n that every
cotton pre,,easg
.o,e- Z: sSSvt1er must make for him
E9EsiT and stand behind it if he ex
poets to win the fight. Tho cot
ton grower that has plenty Of every,
thing on hand thut his farm
will grow can laugh at the
lien law and mortgage system and
the rates Of interest for advances
ments on cotton if lie has no bills
for farm supplies staring linn in
tho face.
1t will do you no good to stand
up and curse out the cotton bears
next fall, neither will it do you
much good TO go out to q big meet
ing Of cotton growers to hear some
one else scare the Wall Street cot
ton gamblers for you.
Farmers, it is not too late now
for YOU to turn about and think
awhile-think about how many
fools and rascals you have amor
the farmers that are not doing tht
right thing cutting acreage anc
fertilizers.
South Carolina farmers have al
ready bought over slxtv thousanc
tons more fertilizers than they
bought all the season last year
counting tags. Now it is estimated
by the best authority that the law
causing all cotton meal to be tagg' d
will account fifty thousand tons.
and yet we have ten thousand tons
more than tho whole amount useC
during the whole Of last year. !
it Is not time for the cotton grower
to become alarmed they mover will
be alarmed at anything.
Well, what are we going to d'
about il? The only way out Of thu
frightful state of affairs is to mpk
break at oucs and plant two row
of corn and two rows Of cottrn it
your whole cotton crop. The mor'
we investigate this Aldrich system
of mixing corn and cotton the mol
we are impressed with the fact thai
this ls the only salvation for the
cotton, grower that already has his
land ready for cotton. Have you
ever thought about it this way
That corn and cottCn do not re-
quire the same preparations Of dill
fertnt feltilizilg clements Of the
land? Have you ever thought
about the fact that com and cotton
are entirely different plants2 That
corn roots feed Lear the surface
and the cotton roots 90 deep down
INTO the subsoil fer 'argo portion
0 lts food. Well, then, we need
not wondor or look 80 doubtful at
the farmers that havo tried this
Aldrich plan and state that they
got about as much cotton TO the
acre where corn and cotton IA mlx-
ed on the Aldrich plan as where
solid cotton rows are planted and
the corn is just 80 much gain. If
this system does not reduce the
bales of c, tton we are sure that tht
extra amount Of corn, fodder and
peas on hand will not be in the
farmers way, but on tho othe,
hand will enable him to grow more
and more Independent each year.

COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE

Under the new school law, attendance
at school is made compulsory. 1t is the
duty of the parent or guardian to send
children OF school age to school. If the
par rents fail to do this, it is made the
duty Of the president of the school board
to enforce such attendance, by criminal
action before Justice OF the peace
where the parent or guardian may be
fined for such neglect.
Besides this. under the new law which
took effect i'll July, the money which is
app ortioned from the state school funds
is now apportioned on the per capita at.
tendance at school instead of the pei
capita of the school populations as BIZ.
fore. The apportionment to each scholar
runs to quite sum, hence there is an
object to the district in the attendance o
all scholars of school age.
Thus, with the double incentive oft
law, the presidents of the school boards
are likely to do their sworn duty and
also see that the districts do not lose any
apportionment money. We are inform
ed that the school board of District No
!, in this city, proposes to enforce the
law to the letter.
