Improving the Farm.

The News and Courier recently con
tanned the following editorial which we
think Laurens farmers will find worth
considering:
This period, when the tillers of South
Caroiiha SOIL have money to spare,
should be signalized by the making of
1asting improvements on the farms.
n sagacious manufacturer, at the
time when profits are generous, puts

points and adds those little accessories

creased dividends, so that when the
Clines OF stress come again, as they will
come. they may be weathered without
curtailing dividends.

Tor the mar whose plant produces cot

cotton, cash or bank deposits.

good investment were at hand. Land is
the Investment with which they are
most familiar, and which with good
sense they prefer, but, they will argue,
the prevailing higher price makes land
purchases a heavy undertaking.
what then is the safest, the most
natural investment-that surest to in
crease the farms value and the FARMS
dividends? Land improvements is the
obvious answer. The man who spends
hundred dollars in replacing the
the best of wire fencing that will en-
dure indefinitely will have a great adj
vantage over his neighbor, who must
patch his fences a few years hence,
and must borrow the money to buy
the nails and pay the carpenter. The
man who spends a hundred dollars in
ming guliies and redeeming a few
acres, which were "washed away"
years ago, will be in better position
n the man who buys many acres at
$30 each and executes his bond and
mortgage for the greater part of the
purchase money. Hard times will come
and interest payments will once again
seem hard indeed.
farms have improvements far superior
to those Of our farms. Stone fences,
terra-cotta drainage, strongly built
tenant houses and fine barns, not to
mention soils made rich by fertilization,
are the rule, not the exception. On
those the cost of production is held to
the minimum, and the profits never
dwindle entirely out of sight.
The arabic lands of South Carolina
have become too valuable for careless
and wasteful treatment. The farmer
who owns a one-hundred acre tract and
has n thousand dollars in cash, if he
be practical and intelligent, can invest
it to better profit paying at home, with
out crossing his w boundary lines,
than anywhere else in the world.

Be Courageous


 Courage is the most valuable of business assets.
 True courage is a component part of so many things that it is worth our while to examine.
 For instance, no man can be truly a gentleman if a coward. He may have the exterior marks of a gen. tleman-the veneering but at heart he lacks. He lacks courage.
 There can be no such thing as true manliness or true womanliness if there is lack of courage.
 Courage is the first component of character.
 Courage is the first essential of successful business life. Courage is an essential in the ad- ministration of a household-the government of servants. If a mis- tress is cowardly, her servants quickly discover her weakness and trample upon her.
 Courage makes the difference be- tween the clergyman, noble, useful and devoted, and the mere time server-that most pitiful of men, who draws salary for rendering service to his fellow-men and sinks through life avoiding it's responsi- bilities.
 Courage not only makes the great editor of a great newspaper, but it's absence kills the investment of the stockholder in that newspaper, so subtle is the public mind with ref erence to the characteristic of cour- age and so instantly does it discov- CT whether a man set over a great journal to guard the public inter est, has the courage necessary, or whether he is sinking along, trying to avoid every important issue.
 Courage equally distinguishes the man in public life and makes of him parsonage; or, in its absence, allows him to dwindle into an un respected obscurity.
 Courage gives the man or the woman power to consider facts on their merits. It is the coward who, in the face of a fact, is side-tracked because the popular, known feeling has been in a certain direction. The man of courage will consider fact upon it's merits. He will investi- gate. He will analyze and SO ob tain the truth.
 The cowardly mind, standing be- fore opinions heretofor in vogue, is frightened at any temerity of thought, is deterred from investiga- ting and, going into the slough of comlnonplaces, loses the opportuni- ty for that advance which in mod ern life means success.
 It is not clearly understood how valuable is the adjunct of courage in the man or woman, nor is it un derstood today that courage, &C., companied by good judgment, is the most valuable of business assets. John Brisbin Walker, in Los An geles Examiner.
