How to Improve Our Orchard Indus.
try.

From our general observation in
the State during the past year, 1t
would seem that South Carolina has
been. as 1t were. dumping place for
all kinds of inferior and worthless
nursery stock. BY this we do not
mean to say that South Carolina re-
ceives no first-class nursery stock,
for we are yearly handling some of
the best stock in the whole country
The general tendency on the part Of
some nurseries, without the State, to-
wards shipping inferior stock into the
State has caused considerable COM
plant to reach this office. The prln.
cipal trouble with such stock seems
to be the presence of serious insect
pests and plant diseases. 1t Is a very
difficult matter for the casual obser-
yer to detect these on stock that is
only slightly infested and, If such
stock be planted out without hav-
ing been treated, there is little possi-
bility that the owner will ever receive
any returns whatever for his labor
and expense. 1t is, therefore, of ut
most Importance that the planter Of
an orchard should know whether or
not he is putting out clean healthy
trees. In order to eliminate, as far
as possible, the introduction of dis
eased nursery stock into our or.
chards, we will endeavor to make a
thorough inspection of every ship
ment of nursery stock upon request
Of the owners of such stock This can
but have wholesome effect upon
the incoming nursery stock. which in
turn will make possible the building
up of an immense orchard industry
in our State.
All requests for inspection Of nur-
sery stock should be made to State

Vice Admiral Uriu of the Japanese
navy. was a member Of the class of
1881 at the, naval academy at Anna
polls and has recently been here visit
ing his class mates and celebrating
a reunion with them, says The Satur-
day Evening Post.
At dinner given to the vice ad-
miral when he was in this country
one of his class mates told a story on
the vice admiral as an illustration of
the progress of the Japanese in the
parst thirty " ..rs.
"Uri was the most correct and
proper person in our Glass; said the
story-teller. He was prim and pre-
else and very reverent. 1 met him
one morning on the parade ground.
GOOD morning. said enthusias-
tically. Isn't this a splendid day?"
LIT is, indeed Uri responded
gravely. and 1 thank heaven | am
here and permitted to enjoy it,
When met Uri this time, after
a lapse of nearly thirty years, I re-
called that conversation and said
GOOD morning. Isn't this a splendid
day?'
1T Is, indeed, Uri, replied. and
will you, for heavens sake. kindly tell
me where 1 can get a drink?'"

There Is some talk Of having a Fall
Festival. and Secretary Reardon of
the Chamber Of Commerce Is agitat-
ing the question. The festival Of 1904
was gratifying success and was both
creditable and beneficial to the town.
II cost nearly $4,000 in hard cash and
world of hard work by the various
committees. 1t will be impossible to
have q festival this year at less ex-
pense than in 1904, for Sumter could
not afford to fall behind previous ef-
forts. so IL we are TO have a festival
we must count on raising not les.
than $4,000. Are the business men
OF Sumter prepared TO put up the
money? If they are, let's have the
festival; but If they are not willing
To spend at least $4,000, we may a.
well say no more about q festival,
And just q word mOre-if we are not
sure there Is to be a creditable fes-
tival II Is poor policy To advertise the
Tact that we are thinking about it.
The wisest policy would be for the
business men to get together and dis
cuss the matter I'm business-iike
manner, decide what they want to do
ana then go ahead and do it.

SAVING CHILD WORKERS.
South Carolina Mill Inspectors File
Their Report With Commissioner
MISUNDERSTANDING Decrease In
Child Employment.

Columbia, S. c., Sept. 4.-Under
the working of the child labor law
over three thousand children have
been taken out of the cotton mills,
stores and other enterprises employ
ing children during the present year.
In many instances there children
have been placed in the schools All
of this has been accomplished without
any friction between the factory in
spectors and the mil, officers; without
decreasing the efficiency of the mills
and without injury to the children or
to their families.
According to tentative report is
sued today by Commissioners Watson,
which Is made up from the reports OF
the inspectors cards and affidavits,
the tota! number of children employ
ed In the mills under fourteen years
of age Is 5,019, OF which 2,729 are
Soys and 1920 girls. OF the 5,O19,
s!2 were under 12 vars of age and
''e~e working during the summer
months. and will now go out; Of the
552. 314 were boys and 23S girls. Five
hundred and ninety children under IL
years of age (Which number Is IN
cluded in the 5.01a) are working
under the parents disability affidavits
-S26 boys and 220 girls.
The total number of children un-
der IL years of age in the mills this
year was 1.148. leaving sos in the
mills at present. Taking out the
school children there were. 1864 less
children in the mills this year than
In 1907. and 4,36S less In 1905. The
total number of children in the mills,
under sixteen years of age in 1907.
were s.121 and in 1905 $685..
The tentative report as submitted
will be embraced in the annual re-
port off the commissioner and deals
with mill population of between
$4,000 and 100000. The commits
sioner expressed himself as being very
much pleased with the report and
was surprised at the large decrease in
the number of working children.

According to the National StocI

According to the National Stock
man and Farmer ."good farming
land has proved a profitable invest
ment in the past ten years and there
IS every reason to expect that it will
be so in the future. Many business
men in cities have realized this. and
when they have found what looked
like bargain they have picked it
up. Such investments have often
been profitable in spite Of the fact
mat the city man didn't know how to
farm. Money has been suuandered
by some city farmers, but others. real
business men. have simply invested
their money in fertility, buildings and
stock and have the goods to show for
what they have invested. IF man
without knowledge of or experience
in farming can make land a good in
vestment certainly a good farmer
ought TO be able to do so. The market
for productive land is improving and
must improve as our population
grows. For an investment of sur
plus cash it has only one objection
1T can not be realized on as quickly
as some other things in case of need.
But it can easily be made the means
of raising money in a pinch.
"Skilled farmers with surplus can
ital will find what are known as run
down farms particularly good IN.
vestment. Land that has been pro-
ductlve, that was so naturally, can he
made productive again by those who
know how, and this can be done
without an excessive outlay of cash.
Nearly every community has such
farms, and when the possibilities of
profit in their improvement are real
lied they will be bought up by ex-
pert farmers near by and built up for
some buyer who is sure to come
along. Another opportunity to real.
ize from investments in land in the
future is cutting up large tracts in
to small farms. This is particularly
true in territory contiguous to good
markets, where the poultry. fruit AMI
truck business must be developed.
For such business large farms are al
incumbrance to most men. Small
tracts will sell readily because there
will be many people looking for
country homes from which they can
live and do not cost too much. In
the east are many such opportunities
as this, and many farms to be hal
at reasonable prices for any purpose
All farming needs in these communi-
ties is more formers. The land is to
be had, the markets are ready the
opportunities are good for those who
want to farm and know how. But
the spirit of the age in these COM
munities has not been agricultural.
When these farms are taken up bv
men who farm this spirit will
change. 1t is changing now in some
places, and land is advancing as a
result"

Eggs and a Few Other Things.

THE egg crop Of the United States
for the last ten years has probably
averaged not far from 1850, 900, 900
dozen year. The Department of
Agriculture reports the mean farm
price Of eggs throughout the country
in 1899 as Ills cents a dozen and in
1908 at 1873 cents dozen. At those
rates the farm value of this estimated
1899 and S320.00O,00 for 1908. an
| increase of $125,O0o,00O, or nearly 65
per cent. The difference in retail
prices is probably considerably more
than that.
This means" says the New York
sun, that for the same quantity Of
eggs the American consumers are
paying today about $125,OOO, 900
more than they paid ten years ago. 1t
at once suggests the question of cost
OF production and profits to the pro
ducer. Does it cost a hen 65 per
cent. more to lay an egg today than
1t did ten years ago? Unless It can
be shown that the industry has been
materially affected by increased cost
Of raw materials or increased wages
10 other inference is open save that
the American consumer is the victim
OF rapacity on the part of those who
cannot be coll ctive'y denounced as a
predatory class" although their
greed in no way differs from that of
trust maenates.' An increase Of 65
per cent in railway rates would al
most precipitate a revolution. Such
an increase in the price of barbed
wire or nails or shovels would lead
to widespread demand for instant
control and regulation by federal au-
thority. The average price of sugar
said to be trust product, was .O4924
cent a pound in 1899 and .O494O in
1908. The mean farm price of egs,
not trust product, was Ills cents
their eggs and for their sugar the
people now spend about the same to-
tai number of dollars.
mo wonder that farmers buy au-
tomobiles, that banks are stuffed with
farmers money. The consumers ap-
pear to have contributed to those en-
terprises during the last ten years
several hundred millions of dollars in
the increase of the price of eggs.
hundreds of millions more in the in
crease price Of potatoes, and still 9TH
er huge sums in the Increased price Of
otner farm products. 1t Is highly
gratifying to be told that the farm
products of last year were valued at
not less than Sits. .000, 900. or nearly
double the value of products in 1899.
The wage earners and the salary
earners contemplate those figures
with less satisfaction than does the
Secretary of Agriculture. In their
view of the case there is represented
not only an enlarged volume of prod
ucts, but greatly increased unit
price, with its resultant increase in
cost of living The increase in vol
ume of products is probably not more
than one-third the increase in total
value. The consumer pays the diff
ference"
