Monday with Mr.. Thomas Hitchcock

hitchcock wrote Mr.. Watson saving
that he owned an extensive estate %,
Aiken county; that he was anxious to
maize 1t OF some value to South Caro-
INA farmers; that he wanted to in
woke the aid OF the Federal and s,a-e
Governments in the matter of the ,s,-
rection of operations upon this OK (.
ttnsive property. and tha, he was
pil:ns to meet all the e. penses ne.-
essary to make this farm that would
be an educational agency in that part
of the State.
Mr. Watson Immediately accepted
Mr.. Hitchcock's invitation. realizing
that such farm conducted upon such
scale meant much to the people OF
this State: Mr.. Watson immediately
realized that this was a proposition
well worth his closest attention, andv
Mr.. Williams was likewise interested.
just as soon as these officials were
through with Mr.. Taft In Charleston.
they went to Aiken and had a full
conference with Mr.. Hitchcock, go
ing over the 5.0000-acre plantation
that Mr.. Hitchcock has bought there.
The result of the conference will be
that the United States Governments

to Columbia feeling that they had dis
covered a situation that meant more

developed in the last decade.

KNOCKING THE WEST.

William +. Curtis. a newspaper

"set the public right ;s to the worth
of "dry farming" lan,,:, in the west.
and, as is usual when Il man writes
about something of which he knows
nothing, Mr.. Curtis succeeds in being

he says farmers should not "umder-
take dry farming without enough
cash capital to carry them through
period Of three years.
Now, cash is "A mighty handy Access
sorry at any time and in any business,
but to insist upon the correctness of
Mr.. Curtis statement would be to-
discourage many me!, from leaving
rented farms in the east to make for
themselves comfortable homes in the

correctly state the situation is proved
by the success which has attended
dry farming il Montana and in every
other state where the system has been
given fair and intelligent trial. Fur

calamity would strike this whole area
from the 99tll meridian to the lO3rtl
meridian, the whole length of the
country, that would be greater than
the calamity that struck western Kan
sas and Nebraska in the eighties. In
fact | believe that the whole agricul-
tural population, outside of the irri-
gated districts, would be driven back
POO miles bankrupt and hopeless
But even should this dire prediction
prove true, Mr.. Curtis forgets that
since the eighties western Kansas and
Nebraska have been repopnlated and
are now producing immense crops of
corn. wheat and other grains as regu-
larly as the seasons roll round. He
also fOrgets or neglects to mention,
the fact that eastern Kansas and Ne
braska were once as drOuth stricken
as the western portions have ever
been, and that where now are farmers
turned bankers, once were forlorn
creatures accepting aid from kinfolk
in Iowa and Illinois. In spite OF the
pessimism Of Mr.. Curtis. it is a fact
that the rainfall has followed the
pillow throughout all the west and that
sections where once scarcely enough
was grown to sustain the Inhabitants
are now as prosperous RS any farming
communities in the entire country.
Such knockers as William f. Curtis
may annoy and discourage for time,
but they will not succeed in stopping
the influx of hOmesepk ers and home
makers into the empty west.

A year ago last November Michael
Healey OF Lebanon owned a fine cow,
fat and sleek, Just in prime condition
for beef. Mr.. Healeyi was accustomed
TO Permit his COW to roam about in the
pasture and one day when he looked
for her she could not be found The
fences disclosed no breaks and no trace
Of the animal could be found.
The loss Is mystery no longer, for
the affair that has caused Mr.. Healey
and the neighborhood worry and
anxiety for nearly a year and a half
was cleared up Thursday morning
very cleverly by State Policeman Rob-
ert T. Hurley of Hartford.
Everett Hewitt, also of Lebanon, was
arrested by State policeman Hurley
Thursday forenoon for turning the
trick. He was taken before Justice Of
the Peace Burgess Of Lebanon and
found guilty and was bound over TO
the May term of the superior court OF
the county under $1,000 bonds.
II developed at the Justices trial that
Hewitt stole the COW and took her to
his own barn and there butchered her
and then sold three quarters and kept
the other quarter for his own use.
The fact that the crime is a felony
is the only reason that it Is not out
lawed. II is punishable by a five-year
sentence in states prison. according to

Mo LONGER Reed RuIas.

The Providence Journal is a con-
sentative ana judicious newspaper
that is not led into fads or fancies
easily. but knows why II adopts a
theory or espouses cause and can
tell the reason. too. Speaking OF the
speaker Of the national house, the
Journal says:
"A new chapter was written In our
congressional annals when the Reed
rules were originally adopted. Tyran-
nical as they seemed TO many even
then, they were employed for the
prompt and orderly furtherance OF
the public business and had not de-
valoped. as they have under Uncle
Jone" into a senseless barrier against
individual ambition. shameless
handicap imposed not only upon the
democratic minority, but upon all
those members OF the republican ma
Jority who have refused to acuuiesce
in the speakers wishes. Mr.. Cannon
may talk as he pleases about the will
Of the majority" but he knows as ev-
eryone else knows, that we have had
government by coterie, not majority
government, in the house. The new
rules are by no means revolutionary.
they fall short Of the ideal very dis
tinctly; but at least their adoption Is
q blow at the prestige Of the volgarlsn
from Danvflle.S
The New Haven Leader. discussing
the result OF the fight over the rules,
says that while Cannon won out,
Cannonism was defeated. This may
seem a fine point, but II II a good one,
and we certainly believe that the be-
ginning Of the end OF the arbitrary
and desnotic rule Of the speaker is I'm
sight. The people WIN eventually come
sgain into their own-Bridgeport
Standard.
