Disfranchisement Not Unlawful.

'The fifteenth amendment does not
require that every negro should vote.
All that it requires is that he should
not be excluded from voting because
he is negro. If he lacks educational
qualifications, property qualifications
or any other qualifications that the
State may lawfully impose as a rule
Of eligibility for its voters, then he
may be excluded: provided that every
one else who lacks similar qualifca-

amendment is merely intended to Sc
cure him in his political rights from
race discrimination by the States. It
is not intended to give him afirma-
tive privileges as a member Of his
race. It's strict enforcement does not
involve an ama!gamation Of the races;
has nothing to do with social associa-
tions or equality. It does not in
volve so-called negro domination and
to permit the question at this late
day, 40 years after the war, to con-
troll the votes of intelligent men in
respect to issues that are living. is to
indicate the lack of sense Of proper

tinue to manifest itself in the south.
eff only under the influences of
President Roosevelt's administration
some of the southern States, including
Kentucky, could be led into the Re-
publican column in accordance with
the real sympathies Of the voters of
those States, it would be crowning
glory Of his administration. AS as
American citizen and lover Of my
country, I long for the time when the
south shall be received again in the
councils Of the nation and when the
people Of that section shall resume
the influence to which they are en-
titled and which they deny them
selves by being frightened at a mere
ghost Of the past

sionaI representation than the vote
of the south seemed to warrant he
found an injustice which he believed
had been largely counter balanced by
it's tendency to drive northern voters

Hon. A F. Lever, Peak, S. C.
Dear Mr.. Lever: Since our letter oS
July the 23d, in regard to the out-
break of the cotton disease at Hs..
good, Sumter county, S. c., specimens
have been received from Dr. ". S,
Kirk of that place and find the trou-
Bile to be the cotton wilt. I believe
you are already quite well acquainted
with our work On thisA disease. Mt,

pathology has just returned from 8
trip to the south, and reports that
the disase resistant varieties now hes
ing bred are showing up very WELL
the percentage of resistance being
higher than ever, in fact, it is rare
exception for q plant to become dis.
eased from wilt except where the
farmer has allowed the seed to bev
come mixed, or has planted them 10
field badly infected with root-knot.
We shall have more Of this cotton to
distribute next winter and will ar.
range to supply your correspondents
at that time.
We find it more and more necasS
sary- to urge upon the farmers the
necessity for rotation Of crops Ia
combination with the use Of our re>
sistant seed A great many fields are
affected by root-knot, which is in
most cases propagated on the roots OF
the common cowpea. 1t is therefore
essential on wilt-infected lands the
use of the common cowpeas, such as
speckled, black and unknown be 6tss
continued, and the iron pea or the
velvet bean substituted therefor. Be-.
fore planting a resistant variety OF
cotton, the land should be put in oats.
followed by corn, or iron eowpeas for
at least two years. Yours truly.

been especially destructive in portions

variety of cotton has been bred, and
this seems to be the remedy .gainss.
the evil The Hagood section of Sum-

most satisfactory results.

CHARLESTON STEAMSHIP LINE
Now Almost Certain That Line Will
Be Established by German Com


parry.
Charleston, Aug. 22.-Charleston
has a chance now at a steamship line
from Mediterranean port for ;n1-
migrants and freight, and the visit OF
Baron Won Pills to Charleston at the
end Of this week is looked forward to
with interest.
Baron Won Pills has 12-months
leave from the North German Lloyd
company of which he is director,
and is now in America on several
business missions, one Of which is the
establishment Of a Hungarian bank
in New York, and another, Of speclai
interest in Charleston, is his project
of establishing a new line Of steam
ships from the Mediterranean sea to
either Charleston or New Orleans, for
the purpose of bringing immigrants
into the south and carrying back cot
ton.
It has been learned that as a result
Of a conference in New York with
Baron Won Pills by Mr.. P. H. Gads-
den of Charleston. Commissioner Wat
SON Of the South Carolina imnigra- :
tion department and Mr.. MCGOWAN,
. representative of the Inman Co., the
prospects of getting this new Euro
mean line into Charleston are Very
bright
Mr.. Gadsden returned to the city
this morning from New York. he
seemed to think that no serious OBJ
stacles stood in the way of getting
that big line for this port The ships
which are 10 be built viii be OF large
size. probably of greater capacity
than the Witteknd. and they will be
constructed for the immigrant and
cotton business.
II is understood that Inman & Co
have agreed to guarantee so per cent.
of the ships cargoes out OF ChaFies-
ton and there will be no great diffl-
Guilty in securing the rest Of the cargo
for each trip among the smaller deal
ers. This is the opinion of man IN
touch with the business. Details like
the frequency of the ships visits here
their exact capacity. and so on, have
not yet been given out.
The Mediterranean ports will fur
nish all the immigrants that may oe

rians. all kinds. come from these
ports. Baron Won Pills has on foot

in 20 wise change his views.

ALABAMA RATE LAW.


Federal Judge Urges Indictment OF

ders.
Chicago. Aug. ga dispatch to

"Gov. Conner, in a statement issusts

That millions and millions Of acres
of this product should go to waste ev-

appear strange to the foreigner. That
so much should be wasted is indeed
stigma upon our agriculture, but it is
stigma that yields it ground very
slowly. One acre Of corn stover prop
erly cured and fed is worth as much
on the average as one acre Of timothy
hay. The food thus grown on 1,0OO,-
600 acres of corn in the stover is
worth as much as the food grown on
100000 acres Of timothy hay. The
waste of 100000 acres Of corn fod-
der is therefore equal to the waste of
100000 acres of timothy hay.

A Fine Advertisement.
In the opinion of Commissioner
Watson this record is more notewor-
thy than brakes, for it has bee al
ways understood that Capt. Drake
expended more in obtaining his yield
than he received in prizes, while the
crop of Mr.. Tindal shows profit
without taking into account the prize
received.
In speaking of this matter today,
Mr.. Watson remarked that he consid-
cred this one Of the finest advertise
ments of South Carolina's crop re-
sources that could have been obtain
ed, but further than this it is a dem
onstration of the class cf work Glenn
son College is doing in training sci
entific farmers Mr.. Tindal, the
young man who won this prize, IS a
graduate of Clemson College, being
a son Of the late Hon. J. E. Tindal, Of
Clarendon. His report to the conn-
nittee of judges was model forts
intelligent statement Of the crltiva-
ton Of the crop, every step being ac-
counted for most fully. In the Drake
contest the report was incomplete, or
at least not as satisfactorily complete as
the report made by Mr. Tindal, who
brings to the growing Of crops not
only a practical and theoretical knowl-
edge Of agriculture, but the trained
mind Of a college graduate and the
abYsity to explain his methods.
Commissioner Watson will soon is
sue his handbook showing the devel-
opment of agriculture and industries
in this State on all lines, and in talk
ing Of the matter today he said that
one Of the most remarkable features
of this development is that of the
water powers of the State. In the
report made in 1905 by the United
States census bureau it was stated
that the water powers in South Car
olina at that time developed repre-
sented $1,000, while the reports made
to Mr.. Watson this year show a de-
velopment of $1,000 horsepower,
much of which is being used in the
driving Of cotton mills.

son May IS a weeder was run over
the corn to the depth Of two inches.
It was cultivated May % and June 2,
with 1s-inch sweeps running to the
depth of about one inch. On May
so the crop was thinned by hand to
the distance Of four to six inches be-
tween the plants and weeds We're re-
moved. One day with three men was
occupied in the hand work.
"On August 27 the tops were cut
off and the fodder stripped from the
ear down. On November 80 the crop
was harvested by plucking the ears.
The same day the stubs Of the stalks
were cut by hand and shredded. The
yield Of the corn was 1872 bushels,
giving an average of sc per cent Of
corn to COB.
Comments On the crop.
.sThe profit of s366.45 seems large,
indeed, from. one acre Of land, but it
viii be noticed that in reaching it
the entire crop is valued at 50 per
bushel. on the assumptinon that it
will make good seed. For that pur-
pose 4S bushels had been sold when
the manual was filed out in the au-
tumn OF 1906, the fodder, which, I
understand, means the tops and
leaves, is valued at 20 per ton.
.sTo northern man this seems
very large valuation But suppose
the entire crop is valued at so cents
per bushel for feding and the straw
and fodder together at IS per ton.
These would be worth the figures in
anv part of the United States; the net
profit from the acre would still be
s44.45, or considerably more than the
land is worth. In my judgment, the
State of South Carolina should give
Mr.. Tindal a medal for what he has
done. His achievement is simply Won
derfu1, and the lessons from it are
many. They include the following:
"He has brought into bold relief
the wisdom of keeping land in high
state OF fertilization, as in 10000
'o5 he got good returns from high
fertilization.
'.He has demonstrated the great
value of deep and thorough cultiva-
ton in southern soils when preparing
them, and OF pulverizing finely be-
fore planting.
"He has shown that a farmer must
not be afraid to put on a little hand
labor when growing crops that will
be benefited by it.
"He has made it clear that to OBJ
| tain maximum Yields of corn the
stand must not be thin or irregular.
His crop was grown more closely than
corn is usually grown, but, Of course,
on some soils it may be necessary to
plant somewhat more distant.
