Random Farm Notes.

Whenever water stands on any
portion of the farm at any sea-
son of the year it indicates that
draining is necessary and that
much of the land contiguous to
it is wet and cold.
1t doesn't pay to do the chores
after dark in the spring and sum-
mer. The chores are just as i'm
portant and profitable as lany
other farm work and should be
done in the daylight.
The crop will never growlwith
the manure that stays In the
barn lot. Get 1T scattered.
There is no reason why the
farmer should not drive just. .as
good team as the man in the
ity. He must have horses, why
,ot have good ones9 1t costs no
Iore to keep a good team than a
poor one.
There are great many farm g
and fields that can never be cul-
tivated at profit. These, if
planted with forest trees, such as
chestnuts, oaks, pines and larch
es, will produce growth Of tim =
Der which will be a source of
profit.
Wood ashes make a good fer
tilizer when put upon the land
before they become bleached.
One ton Of ashes contains 100
pounds of potash, 40 pounds of
phosphoric acid and 900 pounds
Of lime.
You may run ton of coal
through the fire box of an engin e
and not raise a pound of steam :;
also you may run several tons of
feed through your stock and not
get any result. Another man NAV
give half the amount of feed and
realize twice as much.
One way to get good roads in a
community is for each man to
take an interest in the roads pass
ing his farm, instead of feeling
that the state and county work
is a Legitimate opportunity for
shirking.

Idle Negro Women.
A Menace to White and Dis
grace to Negro Race.
To the Editor Of The State:

In glancing over the State of
26lh inst. | notice special from
Florence that tells OF a party of
negro women having been put
to work on the streets Of that
city on a charge OF vagraucy.
The mayor of Florence has set
an example that every town in
South Carolina might prof ABLY
initiate. In every town in our
State there are numbers or negro
women living in idle luxury, a
menace to our country, Il curse

Palmetto State is stricken with
a moral cancer that is e,ting it's
way into our civilization slowly
unperceived TO blinded eyes, but
surely.
All over our Southland the
cry goes up for servants. The
Southern woman is compelled to
have help in her domestic life.
Unlike her Northern sister, she
has not the bracing, exhilarating
climate to give her energy and
strength for her complex duties.
There is a scarcity of home SER
wants that is distressing, and
trained, competent help is al
most unknown. Why this state
OF affairs? The answer comes
that thousands of negro women
find it unnecessary to work for
their support. Through lives of
moral degradation they eat the
bread of idleness and array
themselves in fine attire.
From many optomistic students
OF the race question you hear
that the negro Is growing in mind
and morals daily, but no race
can rise higher than its women.
They set the standard of morals.
Without hesitation we can say
that the negro women are losing
in morals, that they have less re-
gard for virtue than ever before
IN the history of their lives in
the South.
They have small regard for
the marriage tie. 1t has almost
become unknown to them and
has small significance when used
