Tho Pork earreI Type,

| Nearly all the swine magazines are
devoang considerable space to the dts
cussion of the different types found in
a breed and especially among the Po-
! land Chinas. Only few years ago
there was only one type found in the
| breed and the appearance OF different
types must be attributed to the fads
of certain breeders that have been
carried to the extreme. First one
crowd stood out for the small fancy
type and adhered ITO this type SO close
| ly that the filters began to be unsatis-
factory in size. This led some breeders
to seek some other type and in order
| ito be as different as possible some of
them went so far as to produce hogs
that We're as spotted as the first of the
breed and equally coarse. The pres
ence Of these vastly different types has
given rise to considerable argument
and much hot air has been wasted on
both sides. Meanwhile there is still an
other class of breeders who have kept
carefully away from fads and who
have put forth their best efforts to
raise hogs of the real "pork barrel"
type and we are inclined to recognize
| such men as the most successful OF the
breeding Paternity. It greatly pleases
us to compliment the hog breeders OF
this territory by saying that in our
travels we have vet to meet a hog
| breeder who had become crazed over
| fad hogs All of them have kept work.
ing in a highly practical manner and
have raised hogs for the pork that they
would produce. When YOU buy hogs
from such breeders you stand good
chance of getting your moneys worth.
What Is Good Dairy Cow?
The pail is indeed the only true cri-
terion of the large butter mixer and of
the big butter producer. One of the
most instructive exhibits in my collec-
ton of dairy facts is a number of life
portraits Of great mixers and butter
cows; but it would puzzle any good
Judge OF such cows to select the cham
pion cows out of the lot Of over fifty
portraits.
A heifer coming fresh in June would
have the best opportunity of making a
good udder, and, of course, the better
the form of yielding ability of the I'D
der, the more the cows would be likely
to develop into good mixer. The

of good people who earn a livelihood
by working in cotton mills, and it
is very gratifying that the mill vii
lagein Edgefeld will be composed
[ of operatives of that class. b,
s. Mr.. lewis w Pafkef is one of
1.-THE foremost cotton manufacturers
of the country, and tfe people Of
our town are delighted that he has
invested his u money here, feeling
that new day industrially and
commercially has dawned in Edge
field.
The following from a recent is
sue of the American Wool and Cot
ton Reporter concerning Mr.. Park
er's career will be of interest to our
readers:
Mr.. Parker is the biggest cotton
manufactures in South Carolina, if
not IN the whole South, and although
in this generation of leaders and
strong characters in the South, we
would naturally expect to find most
such men engaged in the manufac-
ture of cotton goods, the story of
Lewis w. Parker's advent into this
field is interesting. In the first place
Mr.. Parker's earlier education was
not in the direction of textiles, and
certainly spinning and weaving
were not suggested by paternal or
ancestral example. For the first
20 years of his life after college Mr..
Parker practiced law, and he was
one of many generations of lawyers.
In all of our big American industries
trained legal mind has been of SER
vice; in the textile trade one we'll
known lawyer was John R. Dos Pa
SOS, who formed the American
Thread Co. The American Wool
en- Co. has a lawyer on its directo
rate. Mr.. Parker is the example
of lawyer who has left his briefs
and given his whole attention to our
Industry. '
Lewis w. Parker was born in
July, 1865 the year of peace at
Abbeville, S. c., and practiced law
for, 30 years until 1905. At that
time he was on the board of directors
of the Victor Mfg. Co., at Greers,
is. C. This mill did not. 60 into re-
ceiver's hands, for Mr.. Parker saved
it, through his earliest management
of it after he was forced to take it
over, was practically a receivership;
but he rescued it, and then discover
| ed himself manufacturer, although
before that time he had tried his
hand at organizing, and made good.
The beginning of Mr.. Parker's cot
ton manufacturing career was at
Greer's, in October, 1897. In 1901,
in company with Mr.. T. F. Parker,
he built the Monaghan Mills, at
Greenvilie land there is no prettier
mill in the country. The Appala-
chez Mill he built in 1908, and in
19OS-the same year-he was called
upon to reorganize four mills in Co
lumbia, S. c., viz, the Richland
Mills, CRANKY Cotton Mills, Olympia
Mills and the Capital City Mills.
With these mills Mr.. Parker is run
ming 100000 spindles and 1854
looms, producing print cloths, shirt
ings, nainsooks ,dimities, etc. Item
lied the list of mills is as follows:

so, 900 spindles, 1924 looms; Mr..
Parker, president and treasurer;

This gives total capitalization
Of 81, 100000.
Prior to becoming South Carroll
mas greatest cotton manufacturer,
and with his law practice, Mr.. Park
er was a banker. In 1891 he organ
lied the Piedmont Savings d Invest
ment. Co., and of this bank he was
treasurer until he recognized the
four large mills at Columbia. Mr..
Parker is today president of the
Bank of Greers," and director in
several local banks in Greenville, S.
G..
As busy as a man may be as the
executive officer of seven large cot
ton mills. Lewis w. Parker finds
time to respond to many outside
calls. At Charlotte, n. c., he adj
dressed convention Of the Y. NJ.
g. A. at large welfare meeting.
The National Cotton Manufacturers
Association has heard him speak
at oneEof their annual conventions
in Boston on Southern Labor Con-
ditions. He left his own affairs to
talk I'd convention of overseers
and superintendents in Greenville,
at the meeting of the Southern Tex
tile Associations. Mr.. Parker has
been generally recognized not only
as an organizer and reorganiaer, but
as manufacturer and man Of affairs,
whose views on any subject pertain
ing to cotton manufacturing are Of
value.
Probably no cotton manufacturer
in the country is SO well posted on

lens and questions, ,and if he had the
advantage of an education that
some boys have, could easily have
made himself power for good. He
was of a quiet disposition, not
afraid of work, of good morals, and
for time worked and supported
his grandmother, his mother and
sister, living ON farm working in
the field. He knew but little if any
thing about strong drink till after
he had grown to young manhood.
When he commenced to sell whis-
key at Troy on the\C. & w. c..
railroad and to drink it, then troub-
| le began. He became disagreeable,
SO much so that his wife left him,
but she on his promise to do better
returned to him. But the serpent
drink had gotten him within its
coils and again his wife went away
from him to her parents. Hoping to
have better treatment she tried
again to live with him but the
drink habit now had him fast and
for the third time she left him. And
then what follows; because she
would not, go. back and live with
him he took her life and then his
own.
Beware of how you tamper with
strong drink, for at the last it biteth
like serpent and stingeth like an
adder. / was talking with a neigh
Dor few days ago about Bush, and
in the course Of conversation the
neighbor said that in farming Bush
never cleaned around stumps and
trees. Possibly so, but it put the
writer to thinking, and the thought
came: Is it not fact that so many
of us fail to clean around the stumps
and trees we come across in life?
Temptations to do wrong beset us
on every side, and if we do not
watch there may be a weed growing
close by that we may fail to see.
IT'S such y tiny little thing but,
like the weed left around stump OF
tree in the field, when the crop is
laid by there it stands, having taken
some of the life from the stalk of
corn or cotton as the case may be.
Our lives are made up of small
things, and when our race is run
for all these small things we are
to give an account to Him who
made us.
Young men, boys, for your own
sake, for mothers, sisters, wife's
sake (for they are the ones who
suffer mosD let strong drink alone.
Excuse me for being so long in
what / have said but I just could
not say less and do justice to my
feelings in what | last wrote.

The Farmer and the Tariff.

Senator Depew in Leslie's Weekly
 It Is the interdependence of the indus tries of our states which constitutes the strength of the American people and the wealth of the American, union. 1 was ask ed by MT Mckinley in 1896 to make cam paign speeches through the wheat and corn belts of the west. I found the farmers everywhere looking to free silver or any other panacea for relief from their condition. Wheat was 60 cents and corn 15 cents a bushel. Upon that they could not meet the interest upon their mort gages, and they had difficulty in paying their taxes. and there was no market for their cattle and horses Why was there this condition among the farmers? ne had a larger population in 1896 than we had in 1890 when they were prosperous. It was because the experiment of modi- fled free trade had closed the factories and turned 3,0O0,000 twage-earners in pos session of jobs to 3,0OO,O00 out of a job and out of money. The farmer had lost his market because the consumer had lost his job.
