Crane s Appointment Not
Pleasing to Cotton Men

COLUMBIA, s. C, Oct. 12.-Charles r.
Crane. the newly appointed minister to
China who was recaned from San Fran
cisco on the point Of sailing for his new
post, 10 account to Secretary Knox for al
legged indiscreet remarks about the situa,
ton in the East, is well known in South
Carolina. being closely related to the
smyths and other prominent Palmetto
families, and having contributed gener-
ously TO educational institutions here from
time 90 time. Mr.. Crane spent several
weeks in COLUMBIA last fall
1t is no secret that his appointment
displeased the cotton manufacturers, who
had hoped that a southern man more
familiar with the possibilities for the de-
velopment of the Chinese market for
American textiles would be designated;
but this feeling Mr. Crane in part allayed
nv his cordial reception of three South
Caroiinians who recently called upon him
10 discuss the situation. The party con-
sisted of President lewis w. Parker OF
the American.-Cotton Manufacturers as.
sociation; Capt. Ellison A. Smyth, a mem
the American Cotton Manufacturers as.
ISOLATION, and William E. Beattie, prom
inent mill man of Greenville.
Mr.. Crane has been known principally
for his large operations in steel and his
long and close business relations with
Russia. as well as his intense love for
that country: so much so that his an
pointment gave rise TO surmises here that
probably relations between China and
Russia were drawing to a head and the
state department thought man with Mr..
Cranes peculiar knowledge OF Russian
leaders and policies might be the most
useful minister this country could have
at Picking.
Travelling with 44r. Crane en- route
westward were his wife and younger son,
as well as his eldest son. Stephen. and
the latter's bride. a charming heiress of
Fairfax county, Virginia. The young
couple were going only as far as Moscow.
stephen Crane is the grandson of that
stephen Crane who founded the great
steel house OF Crane a. Co, Chi
cagU. He is a Harvard man.

know that the near-beer tax alone will
increase the revenue for 1909 over 1908
about 100000. The return of ad valorem

They charged as demand liabilities all OF
the appropriations made FOR a current
year, when those appropriations do not all
mature until the first six months of the
following year.
TAXES NOT CREDITED.
''They omitted to give credit for the
taxes which win be collected during the
period that the appropriations mature. i
There will be no deficit in the treasury
on January 1, next.
eff a correct estimate Is made of those
appropriations that can become demand
liabilities by the first of January. and Of
the taxes that will be collected by the
first of next January. the estimate will
show not less than 100000 of cash left in
the treasury on the first day of January
after all demand liabilities have been paid.
This would give a correct cash esti-
mate Of the condition Of the treasury.
IF an estimate is sought of the financial
condition of the treasury on the first of
next Janary involving liabilities and as
sets, then the treasury is entitled to
credit for the uncollected taxes of 1909

why the yield should diminish. 1t
is all matter of arrangement. You
need more cattle, more hogs, more
crop variety. There has been an i'm
provement in this direction, but
there must be more improvement.
Look at the hog business Hogs are
selling at $3.50 to $500. I have
100 of them this year that will
bring me SIS apiece. And most Of
the stuff that was fed to; them is
still on the farm, to enrich the land
and furnish the land and furnish
food for another crop. Your po-
tato crop is one Of the most useful
that you have. 1t brings in good
direct profit, and it adds to the fer
tility of the soil. Glover is another
crop to be encouraged. Cut one crop
and pillow the next In and see what it
will do for the soil. Winter rye and
winter wheat are both good. But
common sense must be used in ex-
perimenting with them. A small
farmer was urged the other day to
try winter wheat, and he said All
right I'll SOW 100 acres of it. That's
no way. He shouldn't take chances
on 100 acres of crop that he knows
nothing about. Let him start with
two acres and learn how to handle
it. That's the way to work these
things out.

not want repetition of that exper-
fence.
President Taft stood for the pas
sage of the Payne bill as finally
amended by the conferees. and as
republicans Senators McCumber and
Senator johnson would have gained
nothing for themselves or the state
by opposing the passage Of the bill.
They could have contributed to
the weakening Of the republican
party, and they might have earned
a little temporary laudation at the
mouths of a few extremists who do
not look beneath the surface, or take
into consideration what would have
been the result of the defeat of the
Payne bill BY his membership on
the finance committee Senator Nc
rCumber was in position to work
for the producers of this state an
he got results in their interest. H !;
did not obtain all of the results he
would have liked. Neither did any
other senator or congressman. There
was the necessity for compromising
all around, and out Of this compro-
mise came tho Payne bill. AS re-
publioans, as supporters of the pres
ident, as members of a great party
at a critical time. in it's history, 1t
was not for them to join the enemy
at a critical time. They could have
accomplished nothing by so doing,
except chance to "play to the gal
leries." They voted as they believ-
ed and as was in the best interests
of the people of this state, and they
will be justified when the tariff bill
is understood, and the conditions OF
it's passage made clear. Our sena-
tors stood with President Taft, first
to obtain important notifications in
the conference report and second to
pass a tariff measure so free from
Objectionable features as to warrant
the support of the democratic party
in congress.

LAND VALUES.

The following from the Fargo
News quoted from one of the best
known real estate men of that city,
is much at variance with the state
! ment of persons before the state
board of equalization as to the real
value of Red river lands:
The lands in this section have
increased in value more slowly than
the lands outside the valley where
less drainage is necessary but the
outside buyers have at least been
struck by the fact that it is a great
deal easier to get rid of little ex-
cess of water than it is to scheme
and figure around trying to get wa
ter to land that lacks only moisture
to make it suitable for good crops.
North Dakota is having the same
experience that Illinois and Missouri
have had. The first rush Of the
settlers was always to the high land
but after the later settlements had
been made in the valley lands and
the farmers had put in few drain
age bitches and had laid a few
lines of tile to assist these bitches
the valley farms began to turn out
crops that made the crops from the
lighter prairie soil look small by
comparison. y
The wheat is beginning to- come
in from the land in this vicinity and
when a. section of land whose sale
price is only $4,000 brings in $751;
900 worth of wheat in one year and
the other sections and quarter Sec
ton farms around it are doing
equally asewell, 1t is easy see that
our lands are going to take a big
jump in value. q
Men who bought land this spring
for $45 per acre and got a $24 to
$50 crop per acre on it can easily
figure whether they have made pro-
fltable Investment or not. This same
land that sold this spring for $40 per
acre with a $40 crop on it, on ao-
count, of this very crop, has not been
lowered a cent in price by the re-
moving Of the crop.
There is a general expectation that
the value Of all the Red river lands
will show an increase in value of
from 81 to SIS per acre.
