FARMING IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
English Observer Sees Superiority In
This State.

Mr.. William Beverly Desportes, who
last spring commenced a tour Of OBJ
servation through the western and
southern states, under the auspices OF
the Industrial and Economic associa-
tion of Manchester, England, for the
purpose of gathering accurate infor-
nation as to agricultural and manu-
featuring conditions in these sections,
has made a most tiattering report 10
the association he represents regarding
conditions as he saw them in South
Carolina In a report on South Car
olina he says:
First, l find that the best farmed
(the most systematic, and by far the
most thrifty and economic administra-
tion Of the farm is in the state OF
South Carolina. Here the cultivation
Of the soil is regarded as a lifetime
pursuit, and in the majority OF IN
stances have found the farmer,
whether a landlord or tenant a
close student Of those branches OF
science which enable him to know the
wants of his soil and the proper means
of supplying these wants.
"The Clemson College of Agriculture
has been a real blessing to the people
OF South Carolina. Under it's tutorage
young men have discovered that the
cultivation Of the soil Is the noolest
and by far the most profitable occupa-
tion they can engage in. A journey at
this season through the rural sections
of South Carolina is enough to inspire
the most pessimistlc with the highest
hopes for the future.
Nowhere in England are farms bet
ter managed or more productive. NO
where in all my long journey have
found more substantial farm buildings
and certainly the hospitality of the
farmer cannot be too highly eXtolled.
Second, in other sections l have
visited farming appears to be spec
ulation, or a means of providing FOR
the future. The landlord lives, gener-
ally, in some city or town. and rents
out his land for a single year TO some
one whom he calls a tenant This rent
er has no interest in improving the
land or building. Hence the farm, or
plantation as 1t Is called, Is as RUE
run down: there Is about II i slipshod
appearance that makes the country
uninviting Is 1t any wonder that the
yield OF products is not satisfactory?
Not so in South Carolina. Here the
landlord lives on his estate and builds
his residence, his barns and other
structures, to remain for succeeding
generation. 1t is not exaggerating TO
state that the yield an acre of cotton
corn and other products in South Car
olina is from 30 to so per cent, greater
than in any one Of the states l nave
passed through, while the general ap-
pearance of thrift is at least from 5O
to 100 per cent beyond any l have wit
messed.
1T Is pleasing to note that in this
state the young men from the colleges
and training schools are becoming far
mers, and l am more than pleased to
zee that there is rapidly increasing
return from the unsatisfying pursuits
OF the professions Of law, medicine,
etc. to that Of the sensible and we'll

Charleston, November 6: At a
meeting of the Charleston Clearing
House association yesterday afternoon,
the banks decided again to stand pat
on the financial situation, and not to
resort to the issue Of certificates, now
being put to use in other cities. The
banks have plenty of money, it is said
having more than s2O,OOO,O00 in their
vaults and this is considered sufficient
to tide them over any difficulties OF
the situation. The policy Of the banks
is, however, to keep the money at home
and outside obligations are being met
with New York exchanges.

PROGRESS ON THE CANAL--1t is
stated that at the rate of progress in
digging the Panama canal made In
october the excavation will be COM
pleted in fifty-t three months, or four
years and five months, and that the
construction of the great locks rather
than the excavation Of the canal prism
will control the date of completion.
This is astonishing progress. The
lowest estimate made. before the work
was begun, for its completion, was
nine years, and few accepted this fig
ure, 1t being generally thought that
fifteen years was a more probable one.
But the canal is TO be dug. All doubt
on that point has been removed

The record of the past twelve months
has been made up, and it is known as a
period of grievous peculiarities. The
weather has been Indifferent and pre-
cedent. The winter neglected to make
ice until late, the summer was hot and
wet. And beside being uncomfortable
the period has been calamitous. We.
suyius has spouted fire, earthquake
and fire destroyed San Francisco and
done damage in Valparaiso, Typhons
have swept ruin in upon Hong Kong.
West India hurricanes have done the
liketo Mobile and Pensacola. Septem-
Der saw England blasted with heat,
and September saw Buffalo Frustrated

of extremes and excuses, melerogical,
political and social, and it has left a

The material and moral value of the

thirty years the situation Of the teach

II Amid the crash of stocks and the wreck
of infected trusts it will be observed
that land and urban real estate are
showing no panic or shrinkage. Into
all the. states OF the west the procession
OF farm buyers continue to moyein an
uninterrupted stream. None OF the
reverses OF speculation has precipitated
any lack OF confidence in the siol.
1T remains, ash will for all time, the
firm aud unshaken basis OF the conn.
try's wealth.
The man who is the possessor OF a
farm, or city lots in Pierre, has the
game in his own hands. There is no
promoter Or stock gambler vino can
jeapordize his investment. Realty is
always worth the money paid for it,,
audit is certain to increase in value.
Tt cannot be destroyed or carried away.
Itconstitutes source of independence
in any condition of the money market,
and amid all the mutations OF specula.
tive enterprise. Real estate represents
a tremendous portion Of the wealth Of
the country. The rich families in
America, in England and in all the
countries Gil the globe, are landlords,
The Astors of New York afford q
convincing example 1t is the heredi
tory ownership of land that holds the
Englishsgoyernm together Out of

There will never be any more land
on the globe than there is now. But,
there will be millions more people to
consume what land produces. This
makes the upward tendency Of land
inevitable. There is no escape from
the result No Investment made in

to be fair, though sometimes it
may have been accused Of par
sls;mship. The late publisher OF
the paper is writing these few
lines with an idea of correcting Il

the writer was appointed one of

ment to the anti-pass bill. The
other two members of the com
mittee were never on the ground
and the writer, living here, did
all he could to get this concession
in the law for pencil pushers.
| The Argus Leader, as the chief
of the stalwart press, has accused
Governor Crawford in numerous
comments, of having worked
against this newspaper amendment
to the law passed, and has accus-
led him of being opposed to the in
terests of the newspaper men of
the state in this respect, in ex-
tended editorial comment. The
writer believes this is absolutely
unfair to the governor. We hap
pen to be conyersant with the
facts, and know that the governor
was in favor of the newspaper
amendment passing, allowing con-
Tracts between the railroads and
papers of the state. and he even
