"THE MENACE"


driven home.
The people of South Carolina are
menaced.
The menace is unfair newspaper
methods.
The Columbia State Of Thursday
carried on it's first page a cartoon Of
Mr.. Cole. L. Blease, over the label,
'tThe Menace"
The Columbia State knew at the
time the cartoon was published that
! it was as unfair as it was false. The
J Columbia State knew when the car
toon was designed that it was mis-
leading and false. The Columbia State
knew that the publication of the
cartoon had for it's object the mislead-
ing of the voters of South Carolina,
and was, therefore, maliciously false,
and was malicious SANDER of man
who led all the rest of the candidates
and received thirty per cent Of the
votes of the State Is that not an in
territorial and gross insult to one third
OF the voters of this State?
His side will have no showing In the
Columbia State. No reply will be al
lowed.
That is the Columbia States
method.
That is ''the menace"
The Columbia State has large cir
cu1ation. There. are people who read
the State and who do not see the 9TH
er side, because the State does not
print the other side.
That is "the menace"
Before the first primary the News
and Courier, the Columbia Record and
other newspapers in South Carolina
were charging the Columbia State
with unfairness, and, in fact, with ma
licious falsehood.
Simply because these newspapers
now agree with the States policy in
the gubernatorial race, will they keep
silent under the same conditions
which existed when they brought
their charges against the Columbia
State because, forsooth, then the Co
lumbia State was going against the
grain and now it is cutting along with
it?
Surely the manhood Of the newspa-
pers Of South Carolina is not thing
of the past.
The newspapers of South Carolina
have in the past welded a wonderful.
influence. 1t is because they have
made for themselves a reputation Of
fairness, and, presenting both sides,
have urged the claims of the side
which the newspapers thought would
be for the interests of the State of
South Carolina.
The course which some of them are
now pursuing may help the men of
their choice in this particular race
though we doubt it-but the profess
sion suffers.
Why not give everybody a square
deal?
The Columbia State, for instance,
and other anti-Blease newspapers will
reprint in their news columns CON-
ments favorable to Mr. Featherstone,
but ignore anything favorable to Mr..
Blease. That is newspaper" busi-
ness, with a vengeance.
So far as The Herald and News is
concerned, We delight in being ignor-
ed by the Columbia State-or boy
cotted, or put on the famous "black
list" as you please-but what We start |
ed out to say was that the cartoon in
morning was the limit downward in

Is more than likely that any OF the
old whalers along the North Atlantic
Coast would laugh at the suggestion
that a whale with whislIers ever had

The discovery OF these patches Of

OZARK OPPORTUNITIES.


Prof. C. F. Marbut of the geol-
ogy d 'partment of the University of
Missouri, recently spent several
months in the mountains in Missouri
near the Arkansas line, and at the
end of time issued a bulletin that
was published by the College of Agri-
culture.
Among other things Mr.. Marbut
says:
Cleanliness is a necessity in pro-
ducing good milk. The Ozark region is
one of the cleanest and most healtLtul
in the world, because of good drain
age and pure water. The drainage is
due to the presence of stones and gray
el in the soil, which prevents the &C
emulation OF stagnant pools of water,
the ordinary cause of disease. Banks
ON the running streams are not muddy
as in prairie countries.
Climate and water supply are all the
dairyman could hope to find. Mild
winters with much sunshine add to the
comfort and health of the cattle and
lessen the expense for shelter. Num-
erous springs in all parts of the or
arks furnish an abundance of pure
water.
Dairy farming is profitable in the
Ozarks also because of the ease with
which leguminous crops are grown.
With proper care and attention, near
ly all the Ozark country will produce
good croys of clover and cowpeas and
a ffsIN 81 81
make excellent feed for dairy cattle,
THE Ozark region is not only adapt
ed TO dairy farming, but fruit and
poultry farming are likewise profit
able. Professor Marbut tells in de-
tail OF the different branches OF farm
ing which are adapted to the Ozarks. I"
1t certainly would seem that every
farmer in Polk county could we'll af-
ford to devote considerable thought
to the above in relation to his own
location.
In no way possible can a good
point be made in favor of the noun
tain region in Southern Missouri,
that does not apply to Polk county.
We have the pure air, the pure wa
ter, the health, we can grow clover,
cowpeas and all the leguminous
crops even better than further north,
and we have more sunshine and
milder winters by far than even be-
yond Rich Mountain-to say nothing
of 200 miles nearer the North Pole.
Not many years will pass until the
world will be brought to the reali-
cation that Polk county, high,
healthy and beautiful. jutting like a
peninsula far down into the South
land. is the spot favored of earth.
and just such articles as above quot
ed will aid in bringing it about.
f. B. Mumford, director of agri-
cultural Experiment Station, Column
bia, Mo-. will send you the bulletin
free on request.

terest of their respective localities.
They want to help to build the Mena
& Hot Springs railroad. and in con-
sideration of that help, want it built
where it will do most for the locali-
ties they represent.
In other words, they are from
along the line of what is known as
the northern route, the one that will
go through or near Waters, Oden,
Mt. Ida and towns along the Ouach-
ita valley.
Whether or not these men attain
their desires, they are very much in
earnest and deserve well. They
come with data as to the resources
of their section. the prospective ton
age, and claims as to the grades and
ease Of construction.
1t is just this sort of spirit, that
wins in the affairs of life. 1t is
wholesome and healthy and fine.
May all Western Arkansas become
inoculated with it.

Good work and honest dealing

members, and their laws against
adulteration and the like were al
most savage in their severity. In
the year 1916 two grocers were
burnt in Nuremberg for adulterat-
ing saffron and spices. A similar
instance occurred at Augsburg in
1892. In some towns, makers who
did not properly bake their bread
were shut up in a basket fixed to the
end of a pole, and soused to the bot
tom of a pool of dirty water as many
times as were thought necessary to

The Treating Habit Analysed.

The Horse Editors notion of the
treating habit: Ibid you ever delve
into the philosophy of the treating
habit? Did you ever see man show
any symptoms of sense in that direc-
ton? Did you ever see anybody
hand around silver quarters, or
packages of groceries, or pairs OF
socks, or any other useful article to
friends they wished to please? Why
is it that the treating fiend who is 30
highly gratified as his friend digs
down into a cigar box for Queen
would feel contempt for the same
party if he should, instead, take a
plug of chewing tobacco, a pocket
comb, couple of lead pencils, or
anything else he might happen to
need? Why does he limit his gener-
osity to liquors, cigars and soda
fountain froth when there are so
many useful things his nickles and
dimes would buy? The more we re-
fleet upon this question the more be-
wildered we become in trying to
understand it. On one point. how
ever, we are perfectly clear, that
most men who set 'em up to Tom,
Dick and Harry are hog wild about
economy when their wives and
daughters want little pocket

Do Not Burn the Leaves.

Fools burn leaves, leaving for them
selves pinch Of poor ashes, but send
ing back into the air what was taken
from it by the process Of growth.
These thousands of tons are not made
out of the earth, but out of the air and
are intended to be turned over into
soil. If you plant tree in tub OF
dirt and leave it there until it weighs
one hundred pounds. you will find,
by weighing the dirt, that the tree was
not made up Of what was in the tub,
but almost altogether of what it could
get from the air-carbon and NITROGEN
for the most part, with hydrogen COM
posing good share of the liquid part
of the sap.
The elements of the soil that are
not in the air are deep down under
the surface Of the soil, or Incorporate
ed in the rocks. The most important
are potash and phosphorus. You get
some potash from ashes, weed waste,
soap suds, and there are a few soils
that in their natural state are entirely
deficient in this element. The timber
soils of our corn belt contain about
two thousand pounds of phosphorus
per acre. Raising crops that use up
these elements steadily lessons the
possibility of growing any crops at all.
We have got to find them in the soil,
if we use them UP, we have got to re-
place them,
Agriculture should be renamed aeri-

rotate crops. They knew, also, that
