Raise More Wheat.
Farmers Union SUM-

State officials of Arkansas are urg-
ing the farmers Of that State to SOW
enough wheat this fall to at least
supply the needs of the people of the
State. This is being done for the
purpose Of protecting the people
against possible corners on the staff
of life, such as was MANIPULATED re-
Gently by the Patten syndicate of
Chicago.
The advice given to the farmers of
Arkansas would be good advice to the
farmers of South Carolina. Although
this State cannot be ranked among
the wheat-producing States, there are
portions Of it we'll adapted for it's
growth. The whole Piedmont sec
ton, now given over almost wholly
to cotton, could be made to yield
more than enough for all the people
of the State. Nature intended this
section for a cereal-growing, stock
raising country; and we have often
wondered why it's farmers should
have devoted themselves so eXclu-
sively to the uncertainties of cotton
planting, when, by turning their at
tention to grain and stock they could,
with less labor and anxiety Of mind,
reap greater rewards for. their indus
try. There is every incentive for
the upper South Carolina farmer to
do this. Mules, horses, hogs and
beef cattle are in great demand and
bring good prices. And as for wheat,
there Is no other grain so universally
used in this country. 1t Is not prob
able that the supply will ever exceed
the demand, except when the price
becomes eXhorbitant. Bread being
the chief food Of man, It ought to be
within reach of all, and therefore.
we believe it is the duty of every far
mer to raise wheat who can. When
the speculator puts up the price of
wheat beyond the reach of many mil
lions Of people, which inures very
little to the benefit of the wheat
raiser, it is time for farmers all over
the country to raise more wheat as
protection to these suffering millions
against such spectators.
The farmers of the Piedmont need
not fear to change from cotton plant
ing to the growing Of grain and the
raising of cattle. There is not the
slightest danger of raising too much
of either. Wheat, corn, rye and
other cereals will never become
drug on the market. There will al
ways be demand for them, either
"ome or in foreign lands. Every
- of grain, together with hogs,
sheep and mules, can always be sold
at fair profit to the raiser. 1t
seems to us, therefore, that now is
favorable time for our farmers in the
northern part of the State to COM
mence the change from cotton to
grain. Should they do so, in a few
years theirs would be the most pros
porous section of the State.

TAFTs BIG TOUR OF COUNTRY.
President Left Boston Thursday
Morning for His Great Journey.

Boston Sept. 16.-With an ad-
dress before the Boston Chamber of
Commerce at a banunet given iii his
honor last night, President Taft be-
gan a tour which will be among the
longest and most important in its
possible effects of any ever attempt
ed by CHIEF Executive of the Uni
ted States.
The banquet at Mechanics Hall
was given by the Chamber OF Com
merce. The features Of President
Taft's address were his endorsement
of the proposition to establish a
central bank in connection with cur
rency reform, his reputation of any
attempt to start sectional strife in
$pe United States, such as that at
>fibuted to Governor Johnson in
calling upon the West to organize
against the East.
This morning the President Is
celebrating his fifty-second birthday
anniversary by leaving Boston on his
trip through the West and South
this fall. 1t will be wide swing
around, practically the entire United
States, e.n racing a journey approXi-
mating 1900 miles--as long as the
cruise of the battleship fleet from
Hampton Roads, through the Straits
Of Magellan to San Francisco Bay.
The trip will be one Of the most no.
table ever made by President.
Accompanied by Fred. w. Car
penter, Capt. a. w. Butts, his mill
tary aide, several White House
attaches, and perhaps a guest or
two for various parts Of the trip, he
will travel in private car. attached
for the greater part Of the time to
regular trains, but running special"
every now and then to fill in engage
ments at the smaller towns along
the route, and in the more remote
sections where trains are few and
far between.
During his long swing through the
West and South President Taft will
be in. constant touch with the White
House by means of special telegraph
Wires Tho official itinerary shows
%&e total mileage to be 12,759, of
which l, 165 miles will be made on
steamboat down the Mississippi
river. The distance falls about one
thousand miles short Of the long
tour President Roosevelt made to
the Pacific Coast, but the addition of
three side trips the President will
make out of Washington, Immediate
ly after his return here on Novem-
ber 10, will bring the total of the
journey far above that of his prede-
cessor.
The highest point at which the
President will stop for any length of
time is the rim Of the Grand Can
yon, which is $500 feet above sea
level. The lowest point for stop
is at New Orleans, which Is but five
feet above the level of the sea- Cross
ing the Rocky Mountains, however,
the Presidents train will attain an
altitude of more than 10000 feet.
Instead of being appalled, by the
big tour ahead of him the President
seemingly regards it lightly

What is Before Us?
News and Cou ier.)


We are informed that a hearty
faH@er of New York, Roarty by
name, who for many years has al
ways prophesied correctly in rela-
tion to the weather, Is certain that
this winter will be hard one. He
bases his assertion on the fact that
the ears of corn have very long whis-
kers, that the sunflowers blossomed
at an early date and that the cab
bages have covered themselves with
unusually tough leaves. The New
Orleans States adds that the move
ment Of the jaybirds is also a good
augury of boisterous winter, as is
the fearlesSness with which Louisi-
aSa rabbits have paraded themselves
&C. le open, with particularly heavy
esHs Of. fur. A sign in this part of
the world has been the fact that
thirteen seals were seen to enter
Charleston harbor recently. All
things may be said to point to pro-
tracted coal strike.

PICCADILLY SLAVE MARKET.
Hostesses' Strange Way Of
Obtaining Dancing Men.
(From the Sketch, London.)


There are whispers about that a
peculiarly humiliating form of slave
traffic is going on under orr very
noses in the heart Of the capital of
civilization. For where there is
demand for q certain kind Of labor,
be sure there will be some one en-
terprising enough to supply it. The
slaves, | understand, are paraded be-
fore their hirers, clad in their most
becoming garments, and exposed to
the raking fire Of half hundred tor
toise shell lorgnettes. Intellect, and
even amiability, are not in request,
but presentable appearance and a
semblance Of good manners are con-
sidered Indispensable, while a GER
tain amount of agility is a sine qua
non.
Tho human objects exhibited,
strangely enough, do not appear to
feel their position acutely, and are
inclined to look upon the transac-
ton as more or less in the nature of
joke. Yet it is nothing short Of
sign of national degeneration that,
while we cannot get a sufIiciency Of
stalwart youths to join the Terrific
rials, there are young men in Lon
don who are willing to be hired out.
so to speak, by strange females for
the evening. For the demand, |
hasten to add, is for properly equip
ped dancing men, and the slave mar
ket is held at a certain modish club,
where tea parties are given "to meet
the hostesses Of the season." The
more youthful members Of our aris-
tocracy and plutocracy showing a de-
cided disinclination to spend their
evenings propelling unknown femi-
nine persons, round hot drawing
rooms, dance-givers have been COM
PEELED to revert to this strange way
of recruiting their guests.

The price of Cotton.
Greenwood Journal.)

If there ever was any reason in
the demand of farmers that they get
10 cents for cotton, 1t seems that con-
ditions are such, at the present time
as to make this demand just and
equitable. The crop is short, and
will soon be harvested. 1t strikes us
that it is case of demand and
supply.
If the farmer can get 15 cents for
his cotton, he may come out all
right in spite of the short crop which
confronts him. This he can do, pro-
Vided he did not neglect to plant
enough corn to do him. But with
cotton at 10 cents, and corn TO buy
at over dollar a bushel, as we see
1T, there is not much prospect for
