Prof. Newman's Book Endorsed.

r. ]. Redding, director Of the
Georgia Experiment Station, in writ
ing to the Atlanta Constitution, says:
II wish to cordially indorse and
recommend TO the farmers and gar
deners of the South this little book
of PIP pages, from the pen Of my old
friend and confrere and long time
vis-a-vis, Prof. ]. s. Newman, late
professor Of Agriculture and Eirec-
tor of the Agricultural. Department
of Clemson College, South Carolina.
He was for many years director OF
the Alabama Experiment Station. he
was a close associate and vis-a-vis OF
the writer in the Georgia State De-
partment of Agriculture for quite &
number Of years. But better than all
for the present purpose-he has
been all his life a practical gardener,
and comes as near knowing all about
practical gardening and fruit growing
as does any man Of my acquaintance.
In this book he has told the story OF
the garden in plain, everyday style.
He tells how TO do things. There
are no unnecessary digressions or
theoretical discussions. The truth
is / expected that he would write a
larger book; but, perhaps wisely, he
has concentrated and condensed into
a comparatively small compass, the
experience of fifty years in the gar"
den itself" Price, $1.10 by mail

Talk 'Up,

1t is a common thing to hear people
say that talk amounts to nothing"
but that is a mistake. Evidence is to
he had in the fact that the PROPOSE
ton rarely finds the approval OF
thinking men or women.
Talk always has it's effect for good
or evil. and whether it's effect is good
or evil depends upon the kind of talk.
Honest, straight forward, high prin-
ciple talk has an effect for good.
Thoughtless, untrue, ignorant talk has
an effect for evil.
1t is true that just anybody can't
be improperly Influenced by careless
talk. There are men and women Of
experience who not only weigh care
fully everything they say to others;
but who weigh carefully everything
that others say to them. These are not
to be harmed by idle talk, and their
own talk is not calculated to harm any
body.
But there is lots of talk that is
harmful. The majority of people talk
without thinking, and they hear in a
like manner. Just as there are people
who talk only with their mouths"
there are others who hear only with
their ears. The minds which should
direct the talk in it's origin, have no
more effect in the case OF one than In
the case of the other in analyzing
what comes to them.
Talk of the kind described is mostly
downward-as truly so as If attracted
by the laws of gravity-and this
downward talk is always harmful. 1t
holds down the people from whom 1t
emanates and it keeps down the people
to whom II is directed. Instead or
amounting to nothing, it amounts to a
very great deal-so much indeed that
it clogs the wheels of all kinds Of
progress-moral, Industrial, intellec-
tual, religious, etc.
The tendency of high minded, well
considered talk is upward. 1t helps
the people from whom 1t emanates and
helps the people to whom it is direct
ed. 1t inspires men and women to
believe in the possibility and practica-
bility of higher and better things, and
belief in things of this kind are hard
ly second to actual achievement.
The thing then is for everybody to
talk up about everybody and every
thing. Let the man or woman who
talks down be regarded as unfit for
proper association, and let approval
and respect go only to those who will
talk up.
People who think up talk up; peo-
pie who think down talk down. Any
body who will can talk either up or
down. 1t takes less effort maybe, to
talk down than up; but then it gives
less pleasure.
Talk up, or don't talk at all.

The revolution in Russia has at
last broken out in dead earnest. Sew
eral regiments of the army mutinied
few days ago and a pitched battle
has been fought between them and
regiments of more or less loyal troops.
The full details have not yet been re-
ported but at last accounts 1t was
known that five hundred or a thou
sand people, including soldiers and civ
ilians, han been killed. In addition
to the revolt of army regiments, the
crews of a number Of waTships have
also mutinied and the ships are now
cruising about the Baltic sea looking
for an opportunity to do damages to
the government interests on sea or
land. The whole country is in an up
roar from one end to the other. The
indications now are the people have
the best of the situation, and that the
army is more loyal to them than 1t Is
to the throne. But there Is no reason
able possibilities that order will be
restored until after there have been
rivers of blood.

The Carolina and North Western Is
one Of the best managed railroads In
the country. There are fewer acci-
dents, fewer damage suits and fewer
complaints than in the case Of any
other road Of the same mileage in this
section of the south.
As the result of a mistake last Tues
day, Mr.. John A. Shurley candidate for
superintendent of education, was
placed in the ticket that Is being run
in Tuesdays issues as a candidate for
treasurer The mistake was made In
this office Of course.
The military boys are looking for
ward with pleasant anticipation to the
appointed trip to Chickamauga. They
have been on several such trips now,
and fully understand what it means,
1t is the purpose Of the First regiment
especially to make as good reputa-
tion for soldiership as has yet been
established by any southern regiment
That the First regiment Is capable of
doing this goes without saying for 1t
has eight captains who are former
Citadel men.
We beg leave to call the attention of
the esteemed Columbia State to the
fact that some of the First regiment
people are inclined to think that 1t,
the State, is rather too partial to the
Second regiment as against the First
and Third. There is no reasonable
question of the fact that the First reg
iment is larger and better organized
than either of the other regiments and
that if merit be the basis of newspaper
attention, the First regiment should
have a great deal more consideration
than it has been getting, comparative
ly speaking.

CLOVER, August 3.-Because OF the
continued wet weather and the failure
of the parties who have the contract 10
furnish the necessary brick promptly,
the Glover Cotton Manufacturing COM
pany Is not making the expected prog
ress in erecting the new mill building
on which it is now at work. The con-
tract with the brick makers provided
that they should commence delivering
about the first Of June and deliver so
many per week until they had deliver

were not commenced until about the
first of july and up to this time onlV
about 115,OOO have been delivered, but
on account Of the wet weather great
deal of time has been lost since de-

WHEN Senator Tillman was explain
ing at Filbert the other day that the
dispenSary had been brought into dis
repute not by its friends; but by its
enemies, most Of the people who heard
him seemed to think that he was shoot
ing hot shot at Mr.. Hub Evans. 1t has
been told all over South Carolina that
Mr. Evans once said that if elected
he would "Steal the very bricks from
the door facingS," or something to that
effect. No body has seemed to doubt
that Mr. Evans made use of that very
expression; but then, of course, 1t
was not taken seriously They aSSum-
ed that even if he did mean 1t, he did
not intend the other fellow to take
him seriously. But now it develops
that after all ii was mistake about
Mr.. Evans being the man to whom
Senator Tillman referred Mr.. Evans
is a candidate for the house from New
berry and in a speech the other day
he said. II have been lied on and SLAM
dered not because the newspapers
hate Hub Evans; but because they
hate Ben Tillman" Mr. Evans insists
that he is a friend of the dispensary,
and we have no doubts about the mat
ter.

I'll now develops that Senator Tillman
misrepresented Chicco's fan in more
particulars than one. Not only was
the statement that the fan was distrib-
uted among the editors gratuitious;
but there was no advertisement OF
intoxicating liquors on it. But it has
always been so. When Mr.. Tillman is
short of facts, he generally finds but
little difficulty in making any kind he

WHY Senator Tillman is capable of
learning. Some time ago he was
quoted as saying that he entered a
bar-rOom with as much reverence as
he did a church This was at least the
effect of what he said. The newspa-
pers began to ring the changes in the
proposition. The senator paid no at
tentiOn at first; but after holding out
quite while he denied that he had
said it, He now claims that he used
the word independence" instead of
reverence" but the explanation is
not fully satisfactory. Independence
does not fit proper entry of Il church
any more than reverence" fits prop
er entry of a bar-rOnm. We are in
Clined to think that the senator said
what he is represented to have said.
Somehow we feel sure of it. He has
always been inclined to under estimate
the moral standards, especially of the
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1906-08-03

ALTHOUGH Senator Tillman is having
a soft snap of it running for reelection
without opposition, it is safe to say that
Mr.. I4atimer will not have a like eX-
perience two years from now. There
are half a dozen or more people af-
ter the job Of the Junior senator. and
among those mentioned up to this time
are Governor Hayward, f. d. Smith,
Wendell L. Smith and B. A. Morgan
Senator Latimer. however, has been
doing nothing very nicely, and unless
there is a change in conditions as they
have existed up to this time. he will
be hard to beat.

up-country people, and his remark was
made in a section where 1t would prove
more acceptable than in the Piedmont.
When it became evident that the Pied
mont people would stand for nothing
of the kind, the senator entered his de-
NAL, and turned the thing off on the
wicked newspapers.

IT appears that they have about
convicted Richard Cheatham. secre-
tary of the Southern Cotton associa-
ton. of speculating in futures. Mr.
Cheatham tries to excuse himself by
saying that he merely placed orders
for friends. Be this as it may, the
cotton association management has got
to put itself above the suspicion OF
speculation. Otherwise the associa-
ton can be of little use. And the sit
uation is to be deplored, for really the
association has already been the means
of great good. and can be the means
of additional benefits

HAD CONSIDERED The POINT.
Juryman's Explanation Somewhat OF =
Joke on Judge.

A lawyer In the western part OF
Massachusetts having a rather der
perate case to defend, called the
courts attention to the wording of
the statute, empowering the jury to
Judge of the law as well as of the
facts" and requested him to instruct
accordingly. The judge somewhat re-
luctantly did SO, adding, however, that
the jurymen should accept his inter
probation of the principles involved
unless they were fully satisfied that
they knew more law than he did
In spite of this, an outrageous YER
dict was brought in, utterly contrary
to the instructions of the judge, who
severely rebuked the jurors.
The foreman, horny-handed farm
or, rose to reply. ledge" said he,
weren't we to jedge the law as well
as the facts?"
Certainly" was the response, "but
1 told you not to judge the law unless
you were satisfied that you knew the
law better than / did,
We'll, jedge," answered the farmer,
as he shifted his quid, Eve considered
that pint"
