Revolutionizipg Corn Growing.
The methods by which Mr.. E. Nc
Iver Williamson makes an average
yield of from fit, two to eighty five
bushels Of corn to the acre, according
to the seasons, are detailed in another
part Of this paper. The average
yield of corn in South Carolina Is less
than ten bushels to the acre and as
consequence much money made on
the money crops'' so called is sent
out Of the State to buy corn. The
State says every farmer knows or
should know McIver Williamson.
He is absolutely reliable and we are
authorized by Mr.. D. r. Coker, editor
of the Hsrtsville Messenger, to say
that Messrs. John T. Rogers, B. 81.

It Is only after much persuasion that
Mr.. Williamson has presented hit

that experiments will be made in

Statesmen VS.. Generals.

Y. i I r e -. . 8 .
Sir Ian Hamilton, one Of the most
prominent and competent of the gen.
eral ofiesrs Of the British army, has
q passage in his recently published
book on the Russo. Japanese war that
is Of particular interest to is in
America. Referring to the costly in
terrence of the statesman with gen.
eral commanders in the field he
says:
"a statesman has nothing In his
gift but disaster as soon as he leaves
his own business Of cresting or oovi.

Them, The American war, for In
stance, was war where the feebly
timorous civilian strategy Of the Fed
erals was perpetual and never-tail-
ing standby to It's weaker adversary,
while the greatest victory the North
eVsr-scored was when Jefferson Davis
took q leaf out Of Lincoln's book and
had the ineptitude ito replace that
compstaDt, sagacious, careful COM
msnder, Joseph E. Johnston, by a
mere thrustirg divisional general, In.
finitely his inferior in all the higher
attributes OF generalship."
The State says Gen. Hamilton is
doubtless OF Jhe opinion with many
Of the ablest military critics, that
Johnston had he been retained IN
command of the army at Atlanta,
would eV,Dtually have rolled Sherman
back, routed, If not annihilsted.
There is no doubt about this. Gen.
Johnston was slowly but surely ge6.
ting Sherman farther and farther
away from bis base Of supplies, and
when he got the Federal army where
he wanted it Gen. Johnston intended
to destroy Gen. Sherman's line OF
communication and thus force him to
retreat back into Tennessee or toward
the sea coast. It can easily he imag.
ined what q predicament this would
have put Gen. Sherman ia. Instead
OF conducting an unmolested march
to the sea as be was allowed to do
he would have conducted a disastrous
retreat with the Oonfederates close on
his heeles. =

predicts that Senator Tillman will be
opposed for reelection this summer
by DR.. Geo. B. Cromer Of NeWberry.
The Spartanburg journal, which is
not over fond of Tillman, gives this
very sensible advice to DR.. Cromer,

nal says DR.. Cromer will do we'll to
consider carefully the sacrifice Of his
time and energies In such contest,
as MIR. Tlllman is going to -s1111ain in

fact, recognized of necessity even by
his enc niles, that he is the most force
full and useful man the state could

Governor Joseph w. Folk, of Mis-.

unless he had level head on his
shoulders, said to the retail merchants
of his state in their recent convention,
advertising in one way or another.
Patronize your town papers, build
them up and they will build the town
up and build you up increased trade
and greater opportunities. Do not be
afraid that business is going to be hurt
by the recent exposures of wrong-doing
in the commercial world. No man
who is doing an honest business can
be injured by the light. All business
will be better for the cleansing process
it is going through and for the stamp

HOW CITIES LOSE MONEY.
Municipal Plants Pay No Taxes and
Reduce Tax Receipts.


The subject of lost taxes Is one that
deserves far more attention than II
usually receives from advocates OF
municipal ownership. There is scarce
ly a municipal plant in this country
which mentions this item In its reports,
although it is just as much an element
In cost of production as coal and
wages. The omission Is readily over.
looked, because it Is u negative ex-
pense involving no direct payment, but
only loss of income to the city.
If you own a store for which you
are receiving a good rental and dis
possess your tenant in order to occupy
1t yourself the rental value of the store
becomes a charge against your busi-
ness, just as 1t was previously a
charge against your tenants business
and you are out of pocket unless your
profits exceed the rent you formerly
received. Similarly If city buys out
or otherwise dlspossesses public sery.
Ice corporation the real, personal and
franchise taxes formerly paid by the
corporation become a charge against
the operation of the municipal plant
that succeeds the corporation, and the
city Is out of pocket unless the profits
of its plant exceed the taxes lost.

LONG LIVE THE BOSS!
Municipal Ownership Would Make His
Position impregnabIe.

Municipal Ownership Would Make hls
Position lmpregnable.
Referring to the recent announcement
that 81, 146 persons are on the payroll
of New York city, the Newark Adver
tlser declares that in the event of mu
nicipal ownership of street railways
electric light and gas plants, ferries and
other public utilities the city employees
would constitute political army that
would make a change of administra.
ton impossible.
1t recalls the fact that 25,OOO city
employees In Philadelphia kept Phila.
delphla In the hands of the corrupt
Durham machine for years, and only
a great popular uprising overthrow the
grafters.
IT Durham-h had had control of tho
street railroads and other public utili.
ties in Philadelphia through municipal
ownership" 1t observes, "he could have
laughed at popular uprisings. He
would have been as absolute in his au-
thority as the car"
The point is well taken.
In other cities the political situation
under public ownership would be as II
would in Philadelphia and New York.
Bosses may be overthrown and
grafters turned out whenever the pub.
lie will 1t at present. Public ownership
of all public utilities would end this.
1t would bind the people hand and
foot and deliver them into the hands
of political grafters. = Long Branch
