Money to Be Made in Onions.

The Saturday Evening Post, Of
Philadelphia, published an article on
the South in recent number, by Nat.
Westel in which he says: Zone Of the
most important Of the crops which
this new movement Of diversified
farming has brought to the South is
that of Bermuda onions. In the past
year two young men, plain farmers,
typical of the agricultural population
of that section, out forty-four acres
Of their farm in Bermuda onions.
Their onion crop was forty-fve car
loads. and brought them a return Of
$4,000. The cost Of producing thls
crop and putting it aboard the cars was
s6,5O0 An important reason for the
unusual success Of their onion ven-
ture is found in the fact that the quail
ity Of the onions was fully equal to
that Of the imported Bermudas,
against which they were competing.
When these young men considered
that their individual earning capacity
was not more than thirty dollars a
month they naturally concluded that
a. more profitable use for we'll worn
cotton lands could rot be found than
the raising of choice Bermuda onions. ;"

TEN CENTS COTTON.

Until we have further information,
it would be premature to attempt
discussion of Mr.. Eugene Beals
Proposed Plan to Put Cotton to Ten
Cents
Mr.. Beals is New York broker
and bis plan is said to be interesting
and seemingly feasible. For that
matte, any proposition will prove in
teresting which has in it the hope of
saving the South from the evils of
speculation and over production.
The plan contemplates the organic
alton of a gigantic company, capital
lied at 500, 600, ooo to buy cotton and
hold such proportion Of the crop as
will insure sales at ten cents; an im-
mense cotton trust in fact AS rule
the South is opposed to trusts, as
all good democrats should be; but
might make this one the exception.
II it should accomplish the wonderful
things it is expected to perform it
might indeed become the golden idol
before which We would fall down and
worship.
Whatever of merit may be in this
scheme we are inclined to believe that
it has been brought forward at an
unpropitious time. The more feasible
it may be made to appear, the more
likely it is to influence adversely the
present movement to reduce the COT
son acreage. If it is honestly intend
ed to help the cotton states, it should
not have been advanced until the crop
of 1905 is planted and the question of
acreage settled. The one effective
reason for reduction is the certainty
OF proftless prices for greater crop
than the world needs. With that fear
removed the crop will be increased
instead of diminished and the time
might come in few years when it
would be found necessary to abandon
the cultivation of cotton long enough
to dispose Of the immense accumulat-
ed surplus.
While ingenious fnanciers are devils
ing schemes to force the world to pay
ten cents for cotton, the wise farmer
will diversity his crops, make his own
provisions and surplus to sell, raise
live stock, fruit and truck. With
him cotton will be a side issue.

water mills in the vicinity would fur
nish sufficient electric power to oper-
ate a great many manufacturing
plants in this city. The pioneer work
in this direction now being done at
Blanding's mill by Messrs. Noise and
Brunson means a great deal for Sum
ter, as their success will cause others
to develop and utilize the power that
is now running to waste.
The law against chicken fighting
will prove just as effective, and no
more, than the law against ordinary
gambling. Those who want to fight
chickens will combine to fight them
as those who want to play poker or
run faro bank now find the place
and opportunity to do so unmolested
by the minnions of the law.
If the Carolina Water, Light and
Power Company comes to Sumter also
there may be some chance for an
Improvement in the lighting system.
The farmers of the north grow
Irish potatoes and corn for the starch
factories at satisfactory profit, and
there is NO reason why, those Of the
south could not produce sweet po-
tatoes FOR starch making and make
money.

y Sea-Leyel Canal at Panama in Ten
Years.

\ Sca-Level Canal at Panama in Ten
From thorough tests Mr.. w. E.
Dauchey, the engineer under Mr..
Wallace in charge of Culebra and
formerly chief engineer Of the Rock
Island Railroad system, has demon
strated that the steam excavators
which are now at work in the Culebra
cut can handle $4,000 cubic yards per
machine per month, working ten out
Of twenty-four hours for twenty-five
days in the month. This means an
average of 100000 yards per annum
for each machine. If we make lib
eral reduction of $4,000 yards for
time when the machine is idle through
repairs. rains, slides, ETC., we can
place this estimate at 100000 cubic
yards. Now, then, if two machines
are placed every half-mile Of the sec
ton, one on each side of the cut, for
distance Of eight miles allowing for
the gradual slant op both sides, we
have 1hirty-two machines excavating
9,9S0,000 cubic yards a yead. AS there
are 100000 cubic yards to be ex-
cavated in the Culebra division for
sea-level canal. we have approximately
ten years required in which to do the
work. Two years added for AL kinds
Of contingencies makes tweleve. The
question now arises, How is the sea-
level canal, then, to be finished by
January, 1914, or less than ten years
from now. Theh explanation is sim
pie and logical.
These estimates just given are all
based on the supposition that the the
steam shovels,. machinery and forces
work only in the daytime or ten hours
per day for twenty-five days in ca Il
month. The dam which it has been
determined can be constructed IN Two
ears from now to control the Chayr.,s
River at :ramboa is sure to develop
from 1000 to $4,000 constant horse
power This should yield sufficient cleo
trio power. not only to operate the
transportation service and machinery
of the canal but to illuminate brilliant
ly the entire length of it and
enable the construction to go on
at night as we'll as in the day. AS the
climate not only permits work to be
done at night, but makes that time, by
avoidance of the sun, far better for
the laborers, it seems entirely logical
that the whole time for the construc-
ton of the Gamboa dam and Tie in

perial Chancellor Won Buelow had a
conference this forenoon, at which it
is reported they drew up an energetic
note of protest to be forwarded to
Lord Lansdowne, British minister for
foreign affairs.
