Washington, February 2s.-Rela
tive to the bill pending in Congress
for increasing the salary of the Pres
ident to 100000 aud pension ol
$25,00O after retirement from office
Congressman Aiken said to-day
"The President of the United
States is underpaid and the salary
ought to have been raised long ago
No President we will have or have
had for many years more richly de.
serves this increase than Mr.. Roose-
velt. l sincerely hope that the per-
sons having the present bill in charge
in the House will 60 to work on
Monday and not rest until it has
passed this body. There ought not
to be objections from a single man
and it ought to 60 through by unani-
nous consent. i believe it would do
80, too, only somebody seems to have
neglected pushing it up to this time.
There is much economy talk in the
House, but no one wants this to
apply to man who is pleasing SO
many people by his courtesy in the
White House. As I understand it,
the measure providing for the in
crease must be passed at this session
or it will not apply to President
Roosevelt at all. The ne,t admin
istration would not &c qualified To
make an increase in salary, and the
President will be excluded from par
ticipation in the benefit of any read
justment of salaries. The work
ought to be done and can be done if
the right persons get back of it. OF
course, the matter is too delicate q
one for President Roosevelt to per-
nit being mentioned to him, but
am satisfied that if action were taken
by Congress in unanimous manner
the President would not feel that he
was justified in interfering by a
Veto" w. w. Price.

Sign no Papers.

Just now when there is much
money in the hands of the farmers,
adroit agents will be on the road.
They will have the best and only
clocks, sewing machines, steel ranges,
improved churns, and other useful
articles, all of which can be bought
at home. The writer saw two negroes
few days ngo who had just finished
the last installments on $50 sewing
machines, which could have been
bought for $40 or less. These agents
make an ignorant man feel that the
last chance has come to secure the
article they have for sale and then by
giving two or three years time the
deceive the purchaser completely.
They have chattel mortgages which
are iron-clad, and once signed there
is no way OF evading payment. Those
agents generally demand the cost of
the article the first payment. Never
sign any papers of that sort. The
price asked by these agents are gen
orally three times as much as your
local dealer will ask. Those mort
cages printed in such small type that
the ordinary farmer cannot read
them, are dangerous and deceptive.

Making Wastes to Bloom.

The sanitary and drainage commits
sion of Charleston county, South
Carolina, in its report to the Legisla-
ture, shows that its total receipts
have been few hundred dollars
more than the expenditures, and
more sanitary drainage has been ac-
complished than in any year since
the commission has been created.
Three-fourths of the territory known
as Charleston Neck has been made
healthy for the white man, and it is
expected will be occupied by white
farmers, and it is anticipated that
such settlement will add to the
prosperity of Charleston. Out of
about 100000 acres of land in the
county not more than $4,000 acres
are under cultivation, but the drain
age is fully expected to add greatly
to the cultivated area. Landowners
appreciate the Importance of the
work of the commission and are
readily paying the cost of making
their land sanitary. The drainage
has resulted in great advance, in
some cases amounting to 800 or 400
per cent. in the assessed values of
land. The work being done in
Charleston county is of value to
other parts of the South. In that
section are vast stretches needing
only intelligent handling for drain
age and irrigation to become garden
spots of productivity. There is so
much fertile land still untouched by
the plow and needing only ordinary
cultivation to bear great crops that
the waste lands are not receiving the
attention they deserve. With vast
additions to the population of the
South, these vast waste places will
be made to bloom, and the successful
experiment in the neighborhood of
Charleston will be valuable guide
in development. = Southern Farm

AlIIsd with the Farmers.

The contribution of one thousand
dollars by the Virginia Carolina
Chemical Company aud of smaller
but liberal sums by other fertilizer
companies to the Cotton Growers
Association, at first blush, appears
remarkable. One of this Associa-
tion's avowed objects is to cause a
reduction in the amount of fertilizers
used by Southern cotton planters.
The fertilizer companies, however,
take q broader and wiser view. The
Southern farmers are their chief GUS
toners, not only this year, but in all
years. Unless they have ability to
buy, the fertilizer men cannot expect
to sell. The farmers are striving to
gain the position where they will
have voice in fixing the price of
their commodity. Other producers
occupy such a position now and the
farmers believe that as condition
preceaen: TO reaching it, intelligent
restriction must be placed about pro-
duction. The logic in this is ire
sistible.
The fertilizer companies UNDER
stand further that the education
movement implies no fight upon
them. Curtailing fertilizers has no
other object than to curtsil the cot
ton crop of 1905. There is no dis
position to lessen the amount of
fertilizers used for wheat, potatoes
and other crops.
While the fertilizer companies
have exhibited good business judg-
ment in thus cooperating with the
farmers, they show a liberal spirit.
They make it clear that they keep in
mind their mutuality of interests
with Southern farmers and give to
the latter assurance that they may be
depended upon as allies whea the
Southern farming industry is men,

Heart OF Girl Pierced by Shot.


Miss Mary Dodson, of Pooler, Ga, was
found dead in the woods near her home
On March at 10 O'Clock in the morning
with wound through her heart from a
double-barreled gun. which lay beside
her. She had left her home about an
hour before with the gun, saying she
was going shooting. AS she was good
shot and accustomed to hunt alone,
nothing was thought of it.
The position of the gun and the girl
looked like suicide, though no cause for
such an act is known. The young lady
was very popular. though she did not
have any love affair which seemed to
affect her. Some think the gun was
accidentally discharged.

ducing the thirty bales as for prod,sc-
ing the forty bales.
Hc will have produced on the 20
acres thirty bales; whereas before he
tproduced only 200 bales (the half of
40 baies) on that area. This gain of
loo bales is almost entirely due to the
use OF SO worth OF fertilizers per acre,
or 500 worth on the 90 acres, rralsing
the 10 bales cost $40 each, or Q cents
per pound, ready to pick, or cents
per pound Abailed ready for market. OF
course, these 10 bales, or 5000 pounds,
are distributed throughout the 80 bales.
Tho 20 bales that the 80 acres of land
produced of itself we have supposed to
have cost z cents per pound or 500
for the 20 bales. The 10 bales of in
crease cost 800, plus the cost of pick
ing. $50, total, $3.50. OF course. then.
the 80 bales will have cost 800 plus
$3.50, or a grand total of $3.50 for the
30 bales, of s 2-3 cents per pound OF
lint.
The suppositions on which these call
culations are based are all within very
moderate bounds, and are used only to
illustrate the principle. AS much more
liberal application of fertilizers per
acre would make still stronger Illus
tration.

the farmer should produce q larger
percentage OF that undivided portion
of each bale that cost only csnts per
pound, and smaller percentages Of the
portion that cost cents per pound. If
one-half of each bale of cotton cost 3
cents per pound and the remaining
half cost cents per pound, then 1t is
quite clear that the mean cost of the
bale of cotton would be an exact mean
between 3 and 2, or 8 ceMts per pound
II one-third only of the bale cost 3
cents pound, and the remaining two
thirds cost cents per pound, the
whole bale will have cost 5 2-3 cents
per pound. If onefourth of the bale
cost cents a pound and the remain
Ing three-fourths cost cents per
pound then the whole bale will have
cost 6 cents per pound.

Office to be Opened.
columbia Record, February 18th. ]


The South Carolina Cotton Growers
Association will open an office in the
National Loan and Exchange bank build
ing next Wednesday. 1t is planned by
the officers of the association to have a
stenographer in the Office during the day,
and the officers will always be either
within call or in the office. The office
will be used az distributing point for
literature of interest to the farmers, and
it is expected that as soon as the town
ship cbairmen communicate with the
State officers, giving tho names of all
who have signed the reduction pledge,
to issue weekly bulletin.
"We are not going to run a regular
newspaper" said one of the officers
but we do want to have regular pub
facts and figures as to cotton and other
crops 1t will take some money to do
this, but tits one of the things absolutely
necessary to the success of the move
ment."
f. Fl, Hyatt, treasurer of the associa-
ton, said that his idea was to have a
publication similar to that mentioned
above, and to issue it regularly, 80 that
the farmers might have knowledge of
what the association was doing, and to
keep them posted on any movement for
the disposal of the crop. The associa-
tion will have from time to time articles
contributed by prominent members of
the association, and the publication will
be used for official bulletins for the
farmers, which the association believes
is the best way of giving out the matter.

The above is suggestive, not abso-
lutte; but 1t is we'll within tho limits
OF probability. You will say that there
would not be much money profit even
In the last stated case, with cotton at
cents. Well, no; but 1t is very much
better than making 40 bales on 100
acres at cost Of Z cents and selling 1t
at cents. The truth is, land that with
good cultivation and without fertiliza-
tion will not produce more than 40
bales on 100 acres is hardly At to plant
In cotton, even IL 1t be literally fer
tilted, unless there is an assured pros
pect OF selling it at or 10 cents a
pound. Such land ought to be planted
In oats, cowpeas, sorghum, or Bermuda
grass, which cost but little to plant
and cultivate, and the product Of which
may be consumed on the farm.
What about the hundreds of thou
sands, yea millions of acres planted an,
nually in cotton that average very far
less than 40 bales to the 100 acres
say not more than 15 or 20 bales to
100 acres? If all such be retired from
cultivation in cotton or corn, and put
into less expensive crops, or pasture,
the problem OF the cotton situation"
aided by a common sense system of
rotation, diversification, liberal manur-
ing and fertilization, would be COM
pletely and permanently solved-Ron.

county, South Carolina, was the largest
in six years, with the exception of the
crop for 1902 1t is roughly estimated
that 1t brought into the county between
100000 and $S2b,000. Last springs
truck crop was sold for about $125, 900.
1t is thought that II the acreage of the

A Simple Old Truth.

There is walking the streets of one
of the cities in this State to-day a
man who is out of Job. He is down
and out.
Yet he is good business man in
his way. He understands every detail
of the business he has followed he
is intelligent and clear headed, and
he is temperate and enjoys good
health.
But he has built up a reputation
for being "tricky." He is not man
whom his employees or his associates
can trust.
He has been in several good posi-
tions, but, somehow, be doesn't stay
long in one place. He is soon found
out, and as soon as he is found out
he is displaced and some other man
succeeds him. More than once he
has been succeeded by a man less
competent than himself, but always
by man who could be trusted, who
could be depended on.
Each time he loses position it is
harder for him to get new one. He
has just about reached the end of his
row. He is pretty generally known
now, and people are afraid to have
anything to do with him. We heard
of him little while back begging
for place that paid only half as
much as the one he held two or three
years ago.
1t is pitiful case, this, but it is
not an unnatural one. We have all
seen cases like it. d
Boys and young men ought to
learn this lesson as they start out in
life. 1t is worth more than anything
else. The man who cannot be trusted
cannot succeed. He cannot hold
any p sition of trust or honor
or responsibility for himself or
for others. He will be found out
just 30 surely as ne lives.
1t does not pay to be tricky or un-
certain, 1t has been tried time and
again and has never yet brought en-
during success or profit or satisfac-
tion to any man.
A mans ability or capacity depend
in large measure on heredity.
Those things must be born in him,
although they may be developed by
his environments and his own efforts.
But mans characteristic relia-
bility - depend upon himself and
upon himself alone. Any man can
command for himself confidence and
trust if he will do so.
A trustworthy, reliable man of or
dinary ability is more sought for and,
is more successful in all the walks of
life than the brilliant or unusually
capable man in whom there is lack
of confidence.
These are truths that are 80 plain
and 80 old that there should be no
necessity to argue them. But old
people forget and young people are
easily deceived. Every young man
about to start in life and every boy
growing up should have these things
impressed upon him so there can be
no excuse for him if he goes on the
rocks.
The race is not to the swift, but to
the sure. 1t is the man who can be
trusted, who can be depended on,
who will longest hold his place on
the track.-Anderson Mail.
