themselves lucky to be under their
rule.
During the last 25 years--which
have been the greatest transition per-
iod the world has ever known-there
have been great changes in the coun-
try as well as the city life. Even on
farms comparatively remote from
towns and cities, the last very few
years have brought about telephone
and telegraphic communication, and
that later boon-rural free delivery
which have kept the residents of
farms in close and constant commun-
ication with the outside world. These
have annihilated distance for the
farmer of today"
The allurements of farm life today
have been pointed out frequently in
these columns. Freedom, health and
wealth are its benefits. The farmer
of today makes money i'm proportion
TO his gifts as serious man of busi-
ness and his adoption of business sys-
tenn in the conduct of his farm. Farm
lands and farm products have been
growing steadily in value. During
the past years it has been shown
by the agricultural department that
the farms of the country have increas
ed in value a third, or, say, s6.1S3,-
900, 900. Mortgages have been
steadily disappearing. Farmers have
been accumulating deposits in banks.
The farms are the greatest of all
manufacturing plants. They manu-
facture the necessaries of life. They
stand ahead of the mills, which must
depend upon them for a great part of
their raw materials and trade.
The young man desiring to enter a
manufacturing business might try
this great field.
Back to the farm" is a good cry.
The farm calls for workers. There are
countless acres of American lands
awaiting the tfller and developer.

A PLEA FOR THE FARM.

There has been a deal of talk of
late on the text Back to the Farm"
says the Louisyille ,Courier-Jourpal.
The Courier-Joufnal is in receipt Of
a copy of a letter written by Mr.. Will
liam Borsodi. editor of the National
Advertiser. on the subject and ad-
dressed to Secretary Wilson, whom
he urges to organize back TO the
farm" movement throughout the
country. In his letter Mr.. Borsodi
makes some attractive arguments.
II is easily demonstrable that "the
young man and the young woman
will find 1t profitable as well as pleas
ureable to stick to the farms, or to
leave the crowded cities for the coun-
try, where one with small capital
may more easily secure credit and
competency and can have in these
days better opportunities as to the
right kind of a social life than that
which is concomitant with limited
means in the city" Besides, ii is
quite true that ''the superiority of
country life in relation TO the rearing
OF families will be recognized by all
thoughtful people, and the happiness
of being near to natures heart will
be considered as atruer and better
than the pleasure which the city af-
fords." 1t is a striking contrast the
letter-writer pictures in this passage:
mo more remarkable inventions
have been made during the last fifty
years or so than those agricultural
appliances which have taken the
place of the sickle, the fail and the
wind. What a difference is there in
reaping. grading, raking, binding
and moving, even in planting, from
that of the days of old! The anti
quated methods, to succeed with
which a man had to get up at
O'Clock in the morning and work un-
til long after early candlelight,' are
responsible for much of the ignor-
ance which. prevails among city peo-
pie i'm regard to the farm life of this
day. What drudgery used, to be
entailed on the women of the farm,
which Is now done away with by
means of all kinds of modern i'm
provements relative to their work.
How much of the impressions or
farm life which city people have are
due to the writings of such gem
fuses as the author of the popular
poem-too true in the day 1t was
written-whoses verses end with the
refrain:
Murdered woman
Johns wife,'
THE modern farmhouse With its
labor-saving appliances, Its PIANO, its,
new books and magazines, its COM
parative!y short hours OF Toll and It's
manifold interest, Is an unknown
quantity to the city woman who
thinks she is comfortable in a small
fiat where she is under the dominion
of the cook and the janitor. Many

Reporters Kept On His Trail
Because of Boy Prisoner.
Detective viii Baker Had the Most
Memorable Trip of His Service
On the Force.
PLACED BOTH PRISONERS.

Detective WIN Baker returned at
$3.50 o'clock this morning from Lex
ington, KY, where ha had gone on
official business, and neports that
his trip was one of the most eventful
he ever experienced.

reform school and Frank Yeltima to

trouble from either. The trouble

at O'Clock in the morning and left
at O'Clock in the afternoon Dewey
answered all questions asked him
and when we got to Lexington SEEM
ed to admire the reform school a
great deal.
Dewey the matron kindly ask
ed. i have a horse and buggy and |
want to know IL you are going to
steal il from me?' Dewey told her
that he would when he wanted 10
ride. The matron laughed, but |
told her to watch him close or he
would do just what he said.
''The matron and all the reform
school officials seemed to like Dew
ey's looks and appeared to take an
especial intenest in him. They will
give him the best there is and have
promised to look after him as much
IS possible.
"As to Yeltema, he confessed when
he arrived in Lexington He had
already. bsen indicted by the grand
jury with another man. He was
charged with robbing a man and stat
ed he was present when IL was done
The mans clothing was stripped of
him at the point Of pistol and he
was relieved OF all valaables."
The Louisville papers printed al
legged pictures of the Troutman boy +.
as "boy horse thief" accompanied
by more or less lengthey smoke
ups about the boys desperate char
acter, most of which was fiction. In
fact, Dewey has been heralded to the
world as a horse thief who "stole
three horses in three milr.ies. q"
which is only a romance. Dewey
simply got into a couple of buggies
several months ago without permits
sion and drove the horses away. He
had no intention Of keeping or dis
posing of them. He had been free
ever since, but finally became so Tn
tractable that his parents decided to
send him to the reform schiocA. SO
he is now in the reform school and
is quite a celebrated cha, acter. IL
may not be long until he has an offer
to go on the stage and do a vaude-
Vile stunt He is a very fn'corrl2i-
BILE boy, and has been placed where
he will be better OFF.

OF course General Wood is bitter
ly criticized because II unfortunately
happened that in exterminating some
of the uncivilized savages who have
been shooting American soldiers in
the back, a few women and children
were killed. But who is criticizing
Gen. Wood? The same men who
would have censured him equally as
much il he had lost the battle, or il
some of our own soldiers had been
picked off from ambush. Fortunately
the great men of our nation are
proof against the abuse of such mar
people.

oeon.o Officials Commend Prohibition.

| The following interview with
Oconee county officers appeared in
The State on July 25th:
Mayor JAS. Thompson says that
there havernot been over half dozen
cases before him for drunkenness
since the dispensary was voted out.
When the dispensary was here he
frequently had that many per week.
There are no active tigers in town.
The jug trade is not one e-hundredth
as much as the dispensary sold.
Wants no more dispensary.
Chief of Police Davis says that
law and order and sobriety have in
creased at least 80 per cent since the
dispensary was closed. Has arrested
but one man for drunkenness in the
last three months. He watches ex-
press for jug trade. When person
receives more than half gallon per
week he must show what he is doing
with it. Have town ordinance to
that effect. Doesn't want dispen-
ssry. Prohibition is a success.
Sheriff w. M. Kay says conditions
have improved under prohibition.
There are fewer tigers and much less
drunkenness under prohibition than
under the dispensary. Considers
Walhalla the dryest town of Its size
in the State. Liquor can scarcely be
found here at all. The people are
Overwhelmingly in favor of prohibi-
tion.
j. S. Colley, County Superinten-
dent of Education, says: Gas regards
the information you desireSJconcern-
ing the dispensary and liquor traffic,
before and after the closing of the
dispensary, I shall say the conditions
are much better since the dispensary
closed than they were before. The
order of our town is far superior now
to what it was under thesdispensary
system. The majority of the people
of Oconee county desire no dispen-
saries for the betterment of her
people,"
Supervisor Hobson does not live
here and could not be seen.
There is no doubt that the senti-
ment is very much in favor of pro-
hibition. Men who once patronized
the dispensary and were it's slaves
now say that they would not have it
back again for any amount.
1t is stated that of the 25 candi-
dates for office in Oconee not a one
favors the dispensary.
The dispensary election in Oco-
nee was held November 4, 1905, the
vote being SIS for dispensary and 6s7
against.
