Potatoes Without Guano.

Mr.. w. P. Harris of Youngs brought
to THE ADVERTISER office Monday a
sample of what he terms his Fall pota-
toes. Fourteen of these potatoes Sc
lected at randum weighed 16 pounds
and were only taken out of the ground
a few days ago. Mr.. Harris states that
this variety will not do at all for Spring
planting but gathered in the Fall they
will keep without difficulty until July
(the time to plant them) and will yield
a magnificent crop. He has gathered
as high as two hundred bushels per acre
on land that did not have a pound of
commercial fertilizer on it but of course
it had been brought up to a very high
state of cultivation. Mr.. Harris also
brought a sample of his rutabagas
which were produced on land of like
character and without the aid of com
mercial fertilizer. When one sees re-
suits like this attained without the aid
of commercial fertilizer we are con
strained to wonder why others of us dc
not do better. Of course it is hardly
to be expected that we all should attain
the success of3Mr. w. P. Harris. He
is a very unusual man, but we could at
least profit by what he has found out
for himself and follow more closely af.
ter his methods.

ago. Nevertheless we believe that haC
it remained in the hands of the Will
liams crowd they would have pulled il
through. While they were in charge OF
it the road had the sympathy and en-.
enlargement of Southern people and
that would have helped it immensely.
Ryan is a Virginian but he lives in New
York and he has the reputation of a
rather unscrupulous promoter and ma
nipulator.
The Seaboard runs across Laurens
County. We hope that the receiver
ship will end by the Williamses regain
ing control. That is in the interest of
our people. We can trust Mr.. Williams.
We do not believe that he is a financial
freebooter. The building up of this
great system was one of the boldest
enterprises ever undertaken by a South
ern man and we sincerely hope that his
brave struggle against great odds will
yet be rewarded.
Meantime, we think that the policy of
reducing passenger rates undertaken by
State legislatures was a mistaken one.
What the South needs is more railroads,
better service, more comforts and con-
.pveniences, quicker and surer schedules
for freight and passenger traffic and
greater safety. The ignorant ~interfer-
ence by legislatures with the sources of
a railroads cannot aid in these
desirable improvements.

THE OTHER SIDE.

The cotton mills Of South Carolina
have agreed to curtail production about
25 per cent. for the present. A similar
resolution was adopted by the New
England mills two weeks ago. The rea-
son of this is that the prices Of goods
are low as the result of the piling up
of heavy stocks.
A few years ago, when the cotton
producers insisted upon reducing the
acreage Of cotton, because the crop of
the preceding year had been big and
had caused a tremendous drop in
prices, the organs of the Yankee manu-
facturers raised a dreadful howl and
said that the Southern farmers were
perpetrating a fearful sin against hui
mainly.

THE "sEABoARD". RECEIvERsHIP.

The Seaboard Air Line Railroad has
passed into the hands Of receivers.
Davies Warfield and John Shelton Will
liams have been named as receivers.
Mr.. Williams is the Richmond banker
who did more than any other man to
build up the railroad and Warield rep
resents the Thomas F. Ryan interests
which snatched the control from the
Williams and Middendorff crowd. Some
of the newspapers are saying that the
receivership follows from the anti-rail-
road policy pursued by the States of
North Carolina, Virginia and Georgia.
For example, we find this in the Wash
ington Post:
1.-THE Seaboard Air Line has gone into
the hands OF receivers and there must
be great rejoicings going on in certain
g~ubernatorial mansions of the South.
A governor of North Carolina once re-
marked to a governor Of South Carolina
that it was a long time between drinks,
but now the present governor may in
vite his brother in arms, the governor
of Alabama, ove for a rolpd of egg
noggs, and there need be no occasion
for a long time between drinks now.

That is smart writing but there is no
truth in it. The Seaboard has been

of it's affairs would have been surprised

A Negro Sues the Government,

New York, Dec. 27.-United States
District Attorney Henry L. Stinson said
today that he had been served with the
papers filed in the United States dis
trict court by counsel for Oscar w.
Reid, a member Of the battalion of the
T~wenty-ffth infantry, which was dis
banded by executive order following the
rioting at Brownsville, Texas. The
plaintiff sues the government to re-
cover pay lost through his discharge
from the army, but the attorneys in
the case have admitted that they were
retained by wealthy gentlemen Of
New England" whose real object is to
determine the legality of the presi-
dents action. Mr.. Stinson said that
he had as yet given the complaint only
a cursory examination, but that he did
not think there was any evidence that
President Roosevelt had violated his con-
stitutional rights in discharging the
colored soldiers without honor"
The district attorney added that he
had not decided what he would do in
the matter. He might, he thought, de-
muir to the complaint; or, possibly, he
might waive that right and, if he was
right in accepting service Of the pa
pers, try the case upon it's merits.
Chase Mellen, of counsel for the
plaintiff, said today:
IL am not at liberty to tell who the
gentlemen back Of this action are.
They will disclose their identity at the
proper time, and somebody will be sur
prised. They are all men of national
prominence. They are banded together
in an informal organization for the pur-
pose of seeing that poor individuals re-
ceive the rights guaranteed them by
the constitution of the United States.
They selected the case of Reid because
his dismissal appeared to them to be a
particularly fragrant case of violation of
the constitution. He Is q very poor man
and could not seek redress himself.
They will help any other individual,
black or white, who has been treated
in the same manner. These gentlemen
are Withholding their names at present
because they do not want the public to
attach any political significance to their
action. can state positively for them
that politics has nothing whatever to
do with it. Their action is animatedb by
something higher than that"

PAY THE GOVERNOR MORE.

1t is fully demonstrated that the
Governor of South Carolina, if he have
a family, cannot live decently on the
salary of $4,000 a year. Gov. Ansel
will recommend that the salary be
raised, and the Legislature should
adopt the suggestion.
If the salary be not raised, We shall
either have to elect bachelors or rich
men in future. Were Governar Ansel
without any property of his own he
would retire from the Governors Office
to go into bankruptcy. Gov. Hayward
and Gov. McSweeney would have done
the same thing. Each of them lost
thousands of dollars by being Governor
Of South Carolina.

MAKE HIM AMBASSADOR.

Should a Democrat be elected Presi-
dent we shall urge him to appoint Sena-
tor Tillman ambassador to France.
That post is n of the most desirable
in the gift of the President. The salary
is nearly 500, 900. Senator Tillman is a
born diplomat, as is proved by the
manner in which he Islands in" with
Aldrich, Foraker and other Republican
leaders in the Senate. When plain old
ben" Franklin was sent to France by
the Continental Congress he was the
pet of all the fashionable circles of
Paris, and our "Ben" would be re-
ceived in the same manner by the
Parisians.

Although the factories and banks of
Laurens have declared dividends, the
dividends of the farms have been
larger. When a Laurens colored far
mer can live on another mans land and
come out at the end of the year with
his debts paid and fifteen hundred dol
lars worth of cotton ''to the good' it
is proof positive that nothing pays
equally with farming in Laurens.
