When the wonderful food value of
Spaghetti is considered it is not at all
such an important place on the Ameri.
surprising that Spaghetti occupies
such an important place on the Ameri-

Congressman Lever has again prov
en his T!giy TO the confidence o1 the
people Of TIE Safe. His victory n
removing the tarii: or commercial fer
tilizers, is al achievement which
shows his rowec in Congress ana his
readiness to tight ior tho Interests OF
his people. II his record Hcd nothing
else 20 lis credit than this victory for
the South and for lis STATE, he Wou(d
still be entitled to the everlasting
gratitude Ct his people. Il the future,
every person who buys /, pound OF
commercial fertilizer can Ihana Mr..
Lever that a higher price is rot being
paid for it. The proposed tariff unon
it, had It not been successfully strick-
en- from the bill, would :,ave invol:ed
a tax of two million dollars every
year to the Southern farmers and the
enormous burden Of over one-quarter
of a million dollars to the farmers Of
South Carolina. Il would have
amounted, on the very lowest grade
of fertilizers, to tax Of more than
two dollars per ton and much more,
of course, on the higher grades. The
tax was beautifully concealed in the
PAYNE bill and was uncovered by the
German Kali Works to Prof. Harper
and from that source reached Con-
gresham Lever, who, from the press
accounts, Immediately got busy, Or
ganizing the various members inter
ested in the matter, with the result
that one by one the proposed duties
were eliminated from the bill. If We
are TO Judge from the Columbia Rec
ord's account of the fight, as given
by its Washington correspondent, it
was one Of the prettiest Of the entire
session, and resulted in a complete
victory for Mr.. Lever who seems to
be recognized as leader in all mat
ters touching the farming interests OF
the South. 1t was q distinct recogni-
ton of his ability and power that he
was singled out, from among all Of the
Southern representatives, as the man
upon whom the farmers relied to make
the fight. They have never called
upon him yet, when he was not able
to deliver the goods, and while here
among us, he goes about in his mod
est unassuming way, attracting no at
tention to himself, SO little, in fact,
that we lose sight Of the fact that he
is.a distinguished member of Con-
gress and leader among the people
of the State, still those who have
watched his record, know him to be a
man of tremendous force Of character,
without fear. persistent, dogged, de-
termined and ever vigilant to the
needs of the people. We are Justly
proud OF him, and in behalf of all of
the people of the State congratulate
him upon his last signal triumph,

The editor spent last Thursday at
BatesbGrg. We found business fairly
good for this season and the mer-
chants wearing their usual broad
smiles. Much cotton is being sold at
Batesbrrg just now on account of the
recent rise in price. Farmers are said
to be we'll up with their work. The
fruit crop will be about up to the
average unless something happens to
destroy it. While here it was our
pleasure to dine with the Honorable
Isaac Edwards, at his elegant and
hospitable home. There is no better
gentleman in the county and well
does he deserve the high esteem and
confidence in which he is held by the
people Of lis county.

Wednesday, April q. 1909.

Il was the privilege OF the editor to
take ride down the Bluff road out
from Columbia, for a distance OF about
eight or nine miles, Que day last week.
We passed the plantation and dairy
farm of Mr.. Thos. Taylor. This is
one Of the most u?-to-Gate dairy
farms in South Carolina and is indeed
paving investment. It was a grand
and pleasing sight to see the fEe
Jersey milchers and young calves in
the lots and grazing upon the g'een
meadows. It is worth a Gays Jour
ney to witness these cattle.
An ideal farm is that of Mr.. Edward
Ehrlich, the old reliable shoe man Of
Columbia, who has erected an attrac-
tive bungalow on this place, where he
and his friends spend chance times IN
pleasure and comfort.
Col. W. A. Clark also has a very
valuable plantation, with all neces-
sary tenant houses, barns and sheds.
These houses are all freshly white
washed, and make a neat appear
anee.
We noticed with much admiration
the old an-tebellum farm of Col.
Arthur, where there is still in evil
dence some OF the old negro-slave
quarters. This brings back to mem-
ory the ola days when the negro
slaves were managed by negro
1driver," who carried out the instruc-
tions of his white overseer on the
plantation. Well do We recall the
ola-time darkies going to and from
their work-that old quaint "hollow
and song" will never be forgotten oy
those of us who are familiar with
farm life of the long ago. On tits
same afternoon we heard some Of
those same CID songs, and we Won
dered in amazement if those negroes
of to- day were as happy as those Of
tie slavery time. But there is de-
eided change now, however, and in
stead of the negroes being slaves,
they have, in many instances we
learned, accumulated property. own
their own stock and farm on shares"
Many of them having learned great
deal, and are doing good work for TIE
owners of these plantations. On part
of the Arthur lands they have pur-
chased property, and built hcmes.
Here little town has been built up,
called Arthurs, composed mostly cf
negro huts, and occasionally a negro
store. This town is located directly
on the Bluff road, in the midst of the
finest farm. lanGs in that section
