have exactly found way by which
they could pry out Of the national
treasury the money with which to dc
that in South Carolina. But as We
go along, as the necessities change
as the issues change, somehow OF
other our views of the constitution
take on a little different color.
II have been all around the United
States, zigzagging about, so that
have covered about 10000 miles, anc
everywhere the question IS, How
can the land be made to bear more
than it is bearing?' I doubt II ever
in the history Of the country thai
question was being agltated with the
same degree of intensity and the
same determination to make the land
hear more than it ever did before
than it is to-day, and the reason Is
that the population is growing IN the
world and the demand for farm
products is growing faster than the
s1pply of those products, and hence
i is that it is the farmers that are
getting rich and We poor lawyers and
professional men have to extend our
practice upon the farmers IN order
to share in it. And it IS a healtny
sign.
ssThe accumulation, the concentra-
tion Of millions Of people in cities IS
not healthy, and the improvements IN
country life, the suburban, electric
railway, the telephone, the rural de-
liverv and the means Of reducing the
hard work Of the farmers wife by
inventions and the cooperative ar
rangements are reaching such point
that Il becomes I hope, or soon Will
become, more comfortable to live IN
the country than to live in the city.
tsThe rewards Of agricultural sue
cess are becoming so much greater
for the young men who exert lnge-
nuity, intellect, professional knoWl-
edge and energy upon their work that
they Will be retained in the country.
Otherwise, I should feel that the
movement was one Of degeneracy and
not Of progress. Every town, OF
course, wants to increase IN popula-
tion, but with the cities becoming
great and the tenement houses nu-
merous and the hygiene bad and the
concentration of the vicious make
immoral communities.
"It does not make for the good of
the State, and what We must do is by
such means as possible, such laws as
Will encourage it, such enterprises as
will bring it about, to enlarge instead
of reducing our farming work COM
munity, and when that is done, when
the public questions to be solved are
determined largely i,y those who TILL
the soil, we may. know that the con-
sideration given will be: that Of men
engaged in an occupation that does
not rack their nerves, that does not
make them gamblers and livers OF
rapid lives, but commits the fate Of
the country to men who give consid-
crate Judgment to the questions sub
mitted to them, and have a deep
seated loyalty and deep-seated con-
servatism that will preserve to US
the institutions that our fathers
handed down to us inviolate.
"And now, my friends, I am 60
ing to make some more speeches, and
I must limit myself at each so as to
reserve strength enough for all. You
have fair here, and suppose you
have a track. I may use the meta
phor, or the si1nile, of the track to
say that ! am on the home stretch,
and I want to get into the goal with
out any evidence Of having broken
down. Therefore, I ask you to ex-
cuse me from further remarks, but
only to speak my cordial and heart
felt thanks for your hospitable re-
.eeption in the capital of this great
State Of South Carolina. -
