Mr.. w. w. Ball, Of the Columbia
State, delivered at the State Press as
sociation one of the most thoughtful
addresses that has been heard there
for many a day. 1t was non-parti-
san political address, the burden of
which was that there has never been
any real division among the white peo-
pie of South Carolina since the war;
that the so-called revolution OF 1883
was not a revolution at all; that II
was merely a flash in the pan occa-
stoned by the distressing economic
conditions then existing; that both
sides to the apparent division recog- :
nized the cause as the stagnatlon OF
despair. Under the circumstances peo-
ple were willing to listen to every DEM
agosue who had a remedy. Since
then there has been an Industrial rev.
olution and 1910 found the state IN
another column that Is merely a klnd
of a resting period after season OF
prosperity that was so great that lts
extent has not yet been fully appre-
ciated. There is little or no interest IN
politics now and to arouse the people.
would be next to impossible. The dl-
vision in progress now Is as between
the class that seeks to accumulate and
the class that has no ambition beyond
working for wages. The great duty OF
the press is to educate, encourage and
persuade the individual wage Garner to
save and accumulate, to become q
Droperty owner and be ready to NIL
his place under q social system, whlch
a generation hence will be far ahead OF
anything even the south has ever
known. The way to get at this is for
the farmer boys to buy farms-small
farms and work them, adding to them
as they can; but developing them TO
their highest capacity all the while.

BOYS, buy land. not for a specula-
ton, but for home. Buy it as cheap
as you can and on as good terms as
you can. Don't try to buy too much
to begin with. Twenty five, fifty or
hundred acres will do for many of you.
And when you have bought, go in to
farm it, and farm it right. You have
no idea how much bigger 1t will make
you to become a land owner. You
will actually feel that you are bigger
and you will be bigger. There is no
risk about land purchase if you have
a fair amount of grit and intelligence.
You can make it pay. But even II you
fail you can't lose much. But open
your eyes boys and look about. The
time is coming when the opportunity
to buy a little farm will not be as
good as now. Buy farm, buy YORK
county farm and improve it.

GreenyiIle Man to Marry Ethe

GreenyilIe Man to Marry Ethel
RooseveIt.-The Greenville News Of
yesterday morning carried an oyster
Bay dispatch telling Of the arrival Of
Mr.. Jas. T. Williams at Sycamore Hill
as guest of the Roosevelts. In this
connection a special dispatch in the
News and Courier gives this interest
ing information:
oyster Bay, L. l., June 21.-With the
arrival here today of James Thompson
Williams, Jr., Of South Carolina, a re-
port was circulated that young Theo-
dore Roosevelt was not the only men,
ber Of the Roosevelt family stricken
with the marriage bee. This time, ac-
cording to report, Miss Ethel Roosevelt
is the one who will soon be led to the
altar, and Mr.. Williams is to be the
happy man.
Mr.. williams arrived at oyster Bay
at noon today. He did not linger at
the depot, for the moment he alighted
from the train he heard, above the din
of hustling truckmen, a voice calling
Jim, JIM" 1t was Miss Ethel, who,
spying Mr.. Williams, hailed him. She
was seated in a trap awaiting him.
Needless to say, Mr.. Williams did not
take the eX-presidents auto, which
was waiting for him and Gen. Luke
Wright to convey them to Sycamore
Hill. The young mans countenance
lighted on Ethel, and he quickly mount
ed the high seat beside her, shook the
reins and away they went, towards
Sycamore Hill.
Mr.. williams was recognized by sew
eral newspaper men, but they had no
chance to corral him after he got a
glimpse of Miss Roosevelt. During the
afternoon Miss Roosevelt and Mr.. WILL
liams were seen walking about the
Sycamore Hill Roosevelt estate, and
in very earnest conversation. He re-
turned to the depot tonight, driven by
Miss Ethel in her cart.
At one time Mr.. Williams was con-
nected with the Associated Press, at
Washington, at which place he was
also the representative of a Boston
newspaper. During the last campaign
he was confidential secretary to Frank
Hitchcock. After Taft's election, he
was made a civil service commissions
er. which position he resigned because
of i'll health. For the same reason he
took up his residence in New Mexico.
He expects to become a senator from
New Mexico, under the new statehood
act. His election. it Is said, is almost
ccrtain.-Greenville News, yesterday.

Messrs. BetZ and Lynch, who pump

Fertilizers Steady Sale.

years ago." said a local business man.
who has had long experience, to the
reporter recently, "all the fertilizers
used in this country were sold and de-
livered in the spring. The trade lasted
a month or six weeks, and then 1t was
done. Now all this Is changed. Inc
sale of fertilizers lasts nearly all year
and Is almost as good In the summer
months as in the spring. This comes
about because of the changes from the
old methods. Formerly the custom
was to put all the fertilizers to be used
in the seed bed and leave the develop
ment for whatever might be in It

Hail Damage In BuIock's Creek.
Mr.. F. S. Bankhead left at The En-
uuirer office yesterday some cotton
stalks that show the effect of last Sun
days hail storm over the Hoodtowr
neighborhood. The stalks were all cut
off at the top and entirely stripped OF
leaves. Mr.. Bankhead said that Mr.
John E. Bankhead had a fOur-horse
| farm cleaned up in this way; Mr.. -
S. Bankhead had a two horse farm
stripped; Mr.. A. E. Feemster lost eight
acres of cotton and Mr.. Elijah Nc
Swain lost heavily. Most Of the people
who have looked over the stricken
fields, says the loss is complete; but
those who have had a similar expert
ence, say that the crops will come out
and be worth picking.

The proposed filter plant for the
Yorkville waterworks plant would help
the towns water supply wonderfully.
At least it would rid us of muddy wa
ter during the rainy spells.
Reports indicate that the rains have
only been in spots. There are a num-
ber Of localities in the county that
have had no more rain than is needed,
and some have not have had as much.
There has been very material de-
terioration of the cotton crop in York
county during the past two weeks on
account of too much rain, notwith-
standing that the crop was well ready
for it when the rain started.
But seriously, the people of this i'm
mediate section who have desire for
mountain scenery, need not give much
concern to the c. c. & o., until after
they have been up their own Carolina
and North Western. There are some
sights up the Carolina and North
Western that are we'll worth while.

way to determine public sentiment is
to be guided by the expression of the
peoples will through the law-making
body. When a law is passed it must
be assumed it is what the people
want. and it should be enforced until
the people demand and secure its re-
peal. What may seem to be public
sentiment is often the clamor of the
lawless who have a selfish interest in
violating the law"

LUSCIOUS OYSTER

Bivalve That Made Baylor Sur
vey Famous Passes Out
With May.

AS the last OF the r. months is
ripped from the calendar on the wall
there comes the sad reflection that the
obituary of the oyster must be writ

Survey famous must now dwell in peace
on his residential rocks. far from the
madding epicures. Horseradish and

round cracker must be sacrificed to
bread pudding, instead of being allowed
to iloat at large upon the surface of a
snow stew. Cafes must relegate the
barrels that contained the 'half-shells"
10 the cellar. there to await the au-
tumnal blasts of September.
Restaurateurs view with the sadness
of parting the temporary passing of
lite. When all else pals upon the pail
ate. when even the magic Martin! can
not raise the tagging appetite, the oys-
ter saves tho day. Rare indeed the
cash register that does not fill its COM
partments with silver shekels from the
sale of the bivalve that can be cooked
in so many marvellous ways. But the
pink-eyed clam, ever envious of the oys-
ter. but ever unsuccessful now usurps.

must be stricken from the menu.
