Agricultural Machinery.

While it is a fact that many farm
ers throughout this section are giving
more or less intelligent attention to
the subject of improved agricultural
machinery, this attention is not as
general as it might be.
One of the complaints made by peo-
pie, who would excuse themselves for
not making investments that they feel
that they ought to make, is that they
cannot get the negro to operate the
machinery properly and another is that
our country is not suitable for such
machinery. Still another is doubt as
to whether certain machinery is prac-
ticable.
Begging pardon for volunteering per-
sonal testimony, we will say that The
Yorkville Enquirer establishment has
had quite an extensive experience in
the matter of machinery. Looking
back on the equipment of the plant
fifty years ago, we do not hesitate to
say that eight people regularly en-
ployed in the office today can turn out
as much work as could fifty with the
old time facilities, and the increased
capacity is due to better machinery
more than to anything else.
There is a machine in this office by
the use of which one man can and
does do as much work as six men used
to do by hand, and much better. This
cd q r
and when first installed gave us more
or less trouble. We were more or less
apprehensive of its going down on us
at any time. 1t never gives us any
trouble now. There has been no change
in the machine. The change has been
in the men in charge Of it. They know
how to work it better.
At different times we have pur-
chased machines that were guaranteed
to produce certain marvellous results.
When the machines were first receiv-
ed, we were skeptical; but in the course
of time, we were convinced. We learn
ed that 1t was a matter of knowing
how to manage the machine.
1t is a rare thing that a manufacture
er attempts to put on the market a
machine that is not fully capable of
doing all that he claims for it. Such
machines do not last long.
The average negro can be taught to
operate any machine used in agricul-
tural work 1t is only a matter Of la
Dor and patience in teaching him, and
any man Of reasonable intelligence can
do more worl; with proper machinery
than with his muscle alone.
We have lands that are not level;
but in nine cases out of ten where the
lands are not adapted to the machine,
the machine can be adapted to the
land.
With proper machinery, such ma
chinery as is available, almost any far
mer can do two or three times the
work he is now doing and at less cost.
Many a farmer stands in the way of
his own progress and profit by failing
to buy implements that enable him to
do more work in a better manner,
with less effort and less expense.
Of course we are not to be under
stood as recommending farmers to
purchase all the machinery there Is
without sense or reason; but we will
call attention to the fact that i'm
proved machinery has played a much
larger part in the general advance that
has been made in agricultural results
than it commonly gets credit for, and
the subject is worthy of close and care
full consideration.

Trouble Ahead for Peary.-Professor

Trouble Ahead for Peary.-ProfeSSol
Andreas Gale. the German astrono.
mer who has achieved considerable
fame, declares that when he gets
through with Commander Peary, who
has been honored the world over as
the discoverer of the North Pole, he
will look no better than his despised
rival Doctor Cook.
A Berlin dispatch says Professor
Gale has for many months been sub
mtting Peary's proofs to very
critical examination. The professor
asserts that Peary until now has given
absolutely no scientific proof of hav-
ing ever been near the North Pole
but on the other side has made sew
eral assertions which tend to show
that he has never been there.
The so-called proofs" published
by Peary. are of no scientific value
whatever. no more so than DR.
Cooks. said Professor Gale, and al
the same time he added that Peary
did not even possess the instruments
necessary TO find out where he was
at any certain time during his trip
Furthermore, the professor said
Peary would not have known how
to use the instruments If he had them
Nothing in Peary's own reports show
how he knew that he was travelling
straight north during the latter part
of his trip. The only way to make
sure of this was by using theodoliths
and observations Of the stars, but
Peary has done neither.
In n very short time. Professor
Gale will publish his criticism in the
"DeutSche Revue" the we'll known
German monthly. but at present he
asserts that nobody is entitled tC
make the statement that he has reach
ed the North Pole unless he is able
to prove this by observations that will
stand the test of science. and there
is nothing. absolutely nothing scien-
tifc i'm the observations made by
Peary. News.

Mr.. B. L. Abney is associated with
Attorney General Lyon in the prosecu-
ton of the case against Hub Evans
and opposed to him in the merger suit
case. The two cases are set for the
same week, one in Newberry and the
other in Richland; but how the thing
is going to be managed has not yet de-
veloped. 1t would seem that under the
circumstances, the attorneys might
easily arrange matters so as to get
both cases tried without serious con-
niCt as to dates.

A five dollar note of the National

question of the fact that Hayne is the

Yorkville had from the beginning
planted nut trees for shade instead of
elms, poplars, water oaks, etc., the
revenue from the nuts would now be
sufficient to pay the town expenses.
There are a few people who continue
to put out elms, water oaks, ETC., but
many others are putting out only pc
cans. The pecan Is a rapid grower,
and makes good shade as long as any
other tree

Iowa seems to be the only state
in the union that has decrease in
population during the past 10 years.
The rural population all over the
country seems to have diminished,
while the increases have been in
the cities, or manufacturing CEN
ters. Unlike most of the old or
states Iowa has very little manu-
featuring interests, SO the growth
cf her cities has not overbalanced
her rural losses. South Dakota
with her unoccupied territory can
hope for a rural growth for perhaps
smother decade, but unless we pro-
fit by the experience of Iowa and
develop our cities we can not hope
to grow indefinitely. It is time
now to begin pushing along manu-
featuring lines.

Champ Clark of Missouri, isn't
saying word about revising the
rules of congress. In the re-
cent session he was the minority
leader, and he introduced a resol-

committee on committees, thus
taking the power of appointing the
committees out of the hands of the
speaker. Now that the next house
will be democratic and Clark is
slated for speaker, he is not de-
manding any revision, but says
the democrats in caucus will de-
eide what is best to do. Probably

simply the name is revised and it
is called Clarkism instead of Can.

FIRST AID TO INJURED
NEW DUTY OF POLICE.
Officers of Los Angeles Force to
Be Equipped Like
Red Cross

Within a month every policeman in
the Los Angeles police department
will be equipped with first aid to
the injured package" which will con-
tain everything necessary to give
practical first aid to the injured. More
than 800 of the packages have been
ordered by Police Surgeon c. e. Ter
fing and are expected to arrive here
within thirty days. The first consign-
ment, consisting of sixty packages, ar
rived yesterday.
The packages are neat and compact
weighing but few ounces. They con-
tain two antiseptic congresses of sub
Innate gauze in oiled paper, one anti
septic bandage of subllmated cambrie
with safety pin and one triangular
bandage with safety pin attached. The
entire package is about six inches long
and two inches wide and can be easily
carried in a pocket. They are covered
with oiled paper.
During several months past DR.. Ter
fing has been delivering lectures to
members of the department on first
aid to the injured. The officers have
been shown how to care for victims OF
street car accidents. 1t was at first
decided to have a package of bandages
splints and stimulants placed in the
patrol boxes on each beat, but the
plan OF the small bandage was ac-
cepted as the most convenient. With
the practical knowledge the officers
have learned and the packages they
will be able to give practical aid to the
injured and alleviate much suffering
