product that is not yet half appreci-

their straw stacks to get rid of them,
when they dumped their manure into

ance. We know better now. We know
1t has value, great value We do not
know how much in any given year.
What it's real value is depends largely
on ourselves. When corn is worth
fifty cents, the manure from well-fed
cattle, ii hauled out AT once. should be
worth two dollars a ton. One hundred
tons of manure should be worth two
hundred dollars. There is often
enough manure around the barn to
pay off say two-thirds of the rent in
any given year, provided it is applied
wisely.

Would Bear Investigation,

In an account of the Daro!ing of
Herman E. King. of Greenwood coun-
ty. in The State" Thursday. It is
stated that King is fighting against
an attack of pneumonia and is threat
ened with serious illness. the first
in 10 years"
We would like to know what that
serious Illness" is. There are en-.
tirely too many reports coming from
our penitentiary OF convicts suffering
from tuberculosis. A little investi-
cation into the penitentiary might dnd
affairs something like that at the
asylum. where it was shown that fifth
and dirt abounded There is no rea-
son why the convicts in the South
Carolina penitentiary should not be
given every protection against this
dread disease. 1t can be avoided by
a certain amount of care and the peo-
pie of the State should demand that
this care be taken. If there is any
place in the world w:Icre the direc-
tions OF scientists i'm the treatment
of this disease could be carried out. il
should be in an institution of this
kind where the demands of the treat
ment can be inforced
There is too much consumtion at
the penitentiary.
