Small Farms Best.

When this country reaches it's high
est development, it will be a country Of
small farms.
This consummation is still a long
way off, maybe; but it is coming.
There are those who deplore the old
time tendency of land accumulation,
the requirement of thousands of acres
that could not be worked, or hardly
scratched over, the destruction of hun
dreds of thousands of acres Of fine
timber through what looked like mere
wantonness, and a short sighted busi-
ness view that was unable to see even
an existence in the cultivation of any
other crop than cotton; but all that Is
changing.
Large farms are still common.
There are scores and hundreds Of land
owners who have more land than they
can ever hope to work at a profit; but
that is of only present significance.
Although small farms have not yet
become the rule; there has not been
enough development in this direction
to point the way to what must surely
come in the future.
There is big task ahead Of the
small farmer, it is true. Upon him
will devolve the work Of restoring
much Of the waste that has already oc-
Cured; but he will do that. The small
farmer of today knows a great deal
more than the large land owner of
yesterday knew. He sees how and
where he can support his family and
lay up savings from a farm on which
the wasteful original owner would not
have tried to feed a sheep, and he is
steadily and surely working in the di-
rection of greater prosperity. '
Farming has not played out in this
country. AS q matter of fact intelli-
gent and profitable farming is only
just commencing, and the people who
are first to see the opportunities that
lie unappreciated and despised before
them, will some of these days be the
happy and prosperous owners of a
country which will then be greater
than it has ever been before.

There is very general complaint of

THE most significant result of the
prize fight at Reno yesterday, is not
so much a change in the personnel of
the holder of the fistic championship,
as the transfer of pugilistic supremacy
from the white to the colored race, and
the effect of this transfer is difficult
to measure. With the vast majority of
enthusiastic votaries of the so-called
prize ring game, there would have been
disappointment even at the transfer
of the championship from an estab-
lished favorite like Jeffres to a new
man. When Corbett knocked Sullivan
out, the sympathy was with Sullivan,
and consolation was found in the fact
that Sullivan had been weakened by
dissipation and advancing years; but
the disappointment was only tempor-
ary. Corbett soon took his place as the
new favorite, and things went on as
before 1t was the same when FitZ-
simmons knocked out Corbett, and
when Jeffries knocked out FitZsim-
mons, except that these two events
were accounted for on other theories
at first. until it became accepted that
the real reason was because the win
ner was the better man. But the defeat
of Jeffries by Johnson means more, its
principal meaning being that the cham
pionship has been transferred to negro,
and the probable effect on the fistic
game will be different from hereto
fore. While, of course, all the real
virtue there is in the game is based
upon the principle of fair play and the
idea that the best man should win,
there comes up now another sentiment
which though not So strong in itself.
is likely to have its influence. The best
has all along been agreed that fistic
supremacy can never he n real dom
mating force, or satisfactory test
of the supremacy of one man over an
other The main effect of the result
of the battle at Reno yesterday, will he
to emphasize this truth more than
ever and in a way that ii could not
have been emphasized So lung as cN-
isting conditions were such as to ap-
peal SO strongly to that sentiment
that was not the highest. in such
large number of people. AS we see it,
it is possible that the sporting element
may now go in Ia find another white
man who can conquer the cnlorcd man;
but this not not altogether certain.
Whatever Jeffrics may have been, it
is quite certain that Johnson is Il mag
nifcent specimen of physical dcvcl-
upmcnt and pugilstiC Skill, and ne is
not going To he defeated except with
the help of time and dissipation. AS
we see it, the prize fighting game
is now ON the decline. and it will
eventually hc made clear that the real
victory has been not So much the tri-
umph of Johnson over Jeftries. as the

Major Myles Smith, and he was a
brother of Capt w. B. Smith, who died
on February 8, 1909. He lived on his
fathers farm until the breaking out CT
the war, was married on Feb. IA, 1860,
to Miss Mary Jane McFadden, gave
four years to the service of the Con-
federacy, located in Yorkville. He was
in business in Yorkville for some time;
but some twenty-five years ago went
back to Glover, where he has contin-
ued ever since.
Like his brother, the late Capt. w.
B. Smith, Mr.. ]. ]. Smith was an unre-
constructed rebel of the thoroughbred
type. He served the Confederacy
throughout the entire four years of the
war, did his full duty and after the
war resumed the occupation OF a
peaceful citizen. But he never forgot
the cause, or his comrades who fought
for it. He continued to wear the Con-
federate grey to the day OF his death,
and never missed a reunion, county.
state or general, unless physically una
BILE to attend And at all of these re-
unions he was generally more than an
ordinary spectator. There were no
strangers to him among the Confeder-
ate veterans, their children or their
kinsfolk, and if he remained stranger
to any of them at reunions, such as
were held at New Orleans. Nashville,
Richmond, Atlanta, Charleston, or
elsewhere, it was through no fault of
his, for he always managed to make
himself known, and the frank, open
generosity of his buoyant nature was
such as drew people quickly to him and
held their respect and regard. In in
Producing himself either at a reunion
or elsewhere, it was Mr.. Smiths custom
to present a card bearing an inscrip-
ton like this: John J. Smith, Com
pany G. Palmetto Sharpshooters, Jen-
kins's Brigade, Longstreets Corps"
If he did not happen to have the card
he would give a rapid-fire repetition
of the inscription, ending with merry
laugh that was always irresistible, and
which once heard was seldom forgot
ten.
In his daily life, whether at home
with his family, at his business at
religious, social or public gathering,
Mr. Smith was a whole souled. golden
hearted gentleman, who was bsolutely
without guile, and who was loved and
respected by all who knew him, re-
gardless Of age, sex or color.
Capt. Smith is survived by widow
and three children, one daughter and
two sons, all married. The daughter
is Mrs. f. w. Pressly of Glover, and
the sons are Mr.. w. S. Smith of New
port News, Va, and Mr.. John M. Smith
of Glover.
The funeral last Sunday was largely
attended, the people of the town turn
ing out almost en- masse, and many
going from. the surrounding country,
from Yorkville and other points.
