MONEY IN RAISING SHEEP.
A Profitable Industry Which is Neglected
in This Section.

The possibilities for sheep
raising in this section are great
and there is no reason why the
industry should not be sue toessful
and advantageous to the farmers.
Wool is a most valuable money
crop. and there is no question Of
the fact that sheep raising in this
county can be made highly prof
table if the farmers will go about
it in the right way. Wool com
mands good price during the
entire year and the farmers would
not have the spectators Of Wall
street to contend with as d the case
with cotton.
In order to raise sheep success
fully all sheep.kllling dogs must
be gotten rid of. One sheep is
worth more to farmer than
the average country dog and if the
farmers will ge rid of the ours and
hounds and stock their farms with
sheep they will find it a paying
investment.

Dr. Cr0Eer Not a Candidate.

DR.. Geo. B. Cromer, f New
berry, who was spoken of some
weeks ago as a probable candidate
to oppose Senator b. X. Tillman
for reelection next summer, has
according to reports, plainly in
dicate6 that he is not in politics.
and further, he has no idea of
entering the campaign this year
for United States senator. While
he appreciates the many compli-
mentary notices as to his possible
candidacy, he has not given the
matter any serious consideration
and at present he is decidly of the
opinion that he will not be in poll
tics at all any time soon.

Sometimes But Not Always.

1t is an old song in this state that
corporations Cypress the people.
Sometimes they do, but not always.
In Greenville county the cotton
mills are assessed for taxation at
60 per cent of the actual market
value of their capital stock as
ascertained from the sales of the
stock for twelve mouths. The
ralir' ds pay on equally as high
an as tssment, more likely on a
higher. The Greenville News finds
by careful computation from the
records of land sales and from the
returns in the auditors office for
1905 that the real estate in the
county is assessed at 2S per cent
of its selling value.

Farmers Should Raise Their own Mnles.

In recent issue the Winnsboro
News and Herald contained the
following timely editorial, which
is applicable to the farmers of York
county, who should read it care
fully and carry out the ADVICE Civ
en- ia it:
There have been about thirty
carloads of males sold in Fairfield
County within the past four
months. This means a total of
about 500 mules shipped in here
from the western markets. The
average price of these mules oa
the home market has been close to.
If not altogether, as much as 5000.
1t took more than $l25 600 out of
the county to bring these mules
here. The marvel is that in the
face OF these figures Fairfield far
mers can not see the wisdom of
raising their mules here at home.
1t is easier to raise one mule than
1T is four bales Of cotton that il
takes to pay for one even at the
present pricea They are great
possibilities here in the matter of
stock raising, and the present
prices OF western stock would Ger.
tainly justify the farmers in un-
dertaking this profitable feature
OF farming. Let there be more
mule and horse colts raised in this
county than there have been here
tofore. 1t will certainly pay.

Signs of Spring.

The veay breath of spring is in
the air. Although these mornings
are crisp and frosty, there are un-
mistakable signs Of spring on ev.
cry side.
The early flowers are shooting
up from the earth, the violets are
blooming in profusion and the oro-
cuses dot the yards of many resi-
dences and hyacinths and narcis-
sns adorn many a window. Plum
bushes are beginning to bud and
bloom and already the peach trees
are clothed in pink and white.
next comes the dogwood, the pref
tiest of all the flowers to be seen
in the woods, which will be out in
it's coat of white before the cold
weather is over.

THE cAR0LlNAS PROSPEROUS.
barvie jordan Tours the Two States and
Writes Of What lie Saw.

In writing of his tour through
North and and South Carolina,
President Harvie Jordan of the
Southern Cotton Association says
in pert:
Fo" the past week I have been
speaking daily in the Carolinas un-
der the auspices of the State di-
vision of the Southern Cotton As
sociation. At every point in North
aud South Carolina where the
msetings were held large audiences
OF farmers and men in all avo-
catioas tn life were present. En-
thasiasm, determination and faith
an the organization among all
classes was conspicuously appar-
ent. The spot holders of cotton
in the Ca~olinas are standing
steadfast and refusing to market
any cotton under I5 cents. The
local bankers all over the two
States are backing the farmers up
and publicly announcing that they
will finance every bale of cotton
to the extent of $40, if necessary.
The manufacturing industry is
prospering as never before. All
zines of Industries are prosperous,
from the farm to the town and
city. Rapid strides are being made
an the building aud equipment of
hrst.class public roads, many of
them having already been macad-
amized. The farmers are practic-
ing the policy of raising their
food supplies at home and fast get.
ting away from the old system of
having their corn cribs and smok e
houses in the west. Organization
by county and township is being
rapidly perfected throughout the
two states, aud the work is forging
ahead to success under the splen-
did leadership of the official heads
OF the State divisions. The acre
age question is the paramount is-
sue at u,is time and the people re-
alize that the solution of good
prices next fall depend upon a re-
stricted cotton. acreage again and
an increase in the acreage of
food supplies. There is no dispo-
sition to increase the cotton acre
age among the farmers of the Car
olinas this year, while thousands
ct thesn are freely signing the
pledges to a decrease. If all the
other States adopt the same policy
and adhere to it for sixty days,
the problem of profitable prices
will DO solved, no matter what
kind of seasons we have.

The Modest Editor and His Troubles.

A modest and considerats editor.
who understands his relation to the
community, never likes to assume
the role of a dictator. He is ever
free to make suggestions within
the bounds of propriety, bat to
dictate, never. If his readers
would keep these little facts in
mind they would understand him
better. Now to illustrate our
meaning:
A man walks into the EDITORS
sanctum and says: "Plesse make
the announcement in your paper
that there will be meeting of the
bonrd Of trustees of the graded
school at the school building to.
morrow night, and request every
member of the board to be present,
as there is business of importance"
The editor gladly makes the an
ncuncemeent, but the thought
naturally occurs to his mind
What right on earth have / to
request any member of the board
OF trustees to attend to his own
business?"
A few hours later Elder or Dea.
con So and So comes in with the
announcement that "Rev. Mr..
Blank will preach at our church
Sunday morning. Please announce
the appointment and urge all the
members to turn out, as we are
anxious to give our distinguished
visitor a good congregation" The
announcement goes as matter of
course. But the modest editor has
somewhat of a distasfe for urging
people to attend their own church
services.
I'VE are going to clean off the
cemetery at our church next Tues.
day." says leading member of
some local church to the editor.
will you kindly announce the
fact in your paper and ask all who
have kindred or friends buried
there to come out and help clean
off their gravesp" The modest
editor bushes a little. What else
could he doP By what authority
would he ask people to clean off
the graves of their loved onesp
There are many others, but one
more just here. "The farmers of
Sleepy Valley are going to have a
big rally at their school house next
SATURDAY. Several prominent
speakers are TO be on hand and
make addresses. Please give the
announcement a conspicuous posi-
ton, top of column, next to pure
reading matter, and especially
urge all the farmers to turn out
and hear the speaking. In this
request fail not" The rally and
the speaking are annoucced gladly.
But when he comes to that urging
business the modest editor balks.
Ii the farmers of Sleepy Valley
don't want to attend the rally and
hear the speaking. whal right has
the editor to urge them 70 do sop
