JOHNSTON LETTER
[Continued from page |

Charlie is janitor of the high school,
and at the close of exercises, he and
his wife went to the building to put
it in order, and took their children,
a boy and a girl Of 6 and 4 years of
age, with them. After arranging the
class rooms down stairs, the woman
left the children in one of the rooms
by heater until she could finish up
stairs. After she had been gone for
awhile, two of the young-lady teach
ers, who happened in the building
heard smothered screams, and run
ming to the door found the little
girl with the clothing almost burn
ed from her body. By the time her
parents reached her, she was in a
dying state. Just how her clothing
caught fire is not known, another
colored child had come in, and it is
supposed they opened the heater,
and it caught from here. Charlie
Davis has always been a good, hard
working negro, and has been janitor
of the school and Baptist church
for IL years.

The Advertiser set:an Agitation.

The very marked increase in the
production of corn in South Carolina is
largelythe result of newspaper agita-
ton, together with the splendid
achievements of Mr.. Williamson. The
4dailies and many of the weeklies have,
as with one voice, urged the far
mers to produce what corn is needed
to run their farms. 1t is this increas-
ed attention to corn culture that has
made possible the great tri-state corn
exposition which is being held in Co
lumbia this week.
So far as our infor nation extends,
The Advertiser was the first pewspa-
paper in this state to begin an active,
Systematic campaign FOR the enthrone-
rnent of King Corn in South Carolina.
make this announcement in order
that the record may be kept straight.
If, however, this claim be not true,
we are open for correction.
OF course, every newspaper has at
intervals, without any definite purpose
or fixed policy, urged farmers to pro-
duce, corn and other necessities at
home, but we do not remember to have
seen any other South Carolina news
paper undertake with a fixed purpose or
plan to bring about the coveted end
until after we had begun in this
county.
About two years ago The Advertiser
inaugurated an active campaign urging
hefarmers of this county to give more
attention to growing corn, offering
prizesto those producing the lar gest
yields in order to stimulate and en-
thuse them. The results.from our spe-
eial efforts along this line have been
exceedingly gratifying. Whereas three
years ago the largest yields were in
the neighborhood of 40 bushels they
are now over 100 to the acre. The re-
port of this years contest on our front
page shows very gratifying yields.

, Demand Increases.

The fertilizer factories continue to
increase in size and in number in order
to supply the increased demand caused
by more general adoption of the in
,tensive system of farming. The enor-
nous fertilizer debt becomes burden
upon the farmer only when commercial
fertilizers are used unwisely. 1t pays
to fertilize heavily but judgment must
be used. The farmers who make
money, as arule, are those who apply
commercial fertilizers heavily.

The bulls say cotton is going still
higher. While but comparatively few
farmers will be benefited by sub
sequent rise, still we hope the top has
not been reached. The world must be
impressed with, the fact that what is
ordinarily regarded as high price for
cotton is only its real value. During
pastyears this sta lie that clothes the
world has been abnormally, cheap.
Again we say, the world needs to get
accustomed to the so-called high price.
