The Soy Bean Again.

In connection with a recent editor
ial in the Grecnville News this item
from the New York Comemrcial is in
teresting:

ing bean to compete with cotton
seed, and so Justify does this same

ported in Vlad.vostok, when August
Held left there on the last trans-Si-
berian express connecting with a
steamship at Hamburg, that between
so and 70 ships have been chartered
TO ship the beans to Denmark,
France. England and Germany, be-
tween the 1st Of last October and
May 1st, next"
Mr.. Held has been in Vladivostok
for year establishing an agency
there for the International Harvester
Company and he arrived on the
Anlerika yesterday, accompanied by
w. w. Couchman. manager Of the
company in Hamburg.
"The Soy beam" said Mr.. Held,
has been mentioned several times in
consular reports, though in an indus
trial way, 1t Is an entirely new article.
1t Is about the size Of the ordinary
white bean, but fiatter and yellow In
color. The soil for the beans doesn't
have to be very fertile and Manchuria
Is raising an enormous quantity. They
press the oil out, and this will come
into competition with cotton seed oil
In many ways. The residue, which
they call bean cake, is used for food
for animals and for fertilizer"
This information should serve to
impress upon our farmers the impor-
tance of experimenting with the soy
bean crop. 1t will do all that is
claimed for 1t and more too.
Our oil mill men should not let the
opportunity slip to experiment with
the soy bean oil, for the crop could be
worked up after the cotton season is
over, thus allowing them to get full
action on their plants at all seasons
of the year.-Greenville News.

The Call For Live Stock In the South.

Manufacturers Record
In the fifty years between 1860 and
1910 the population Of the country
increased from 31,5OO,OOO to $4,000
600, and the population of the South
from 100000 to 2S,0OO,OOO. In the
same period, according to official
figures and allowing for variation in
census schedules, the raising Of live
stock used for food has not kept
pace with the growth of population
In the whole country, and In the
South has actually declined in the
case of sheep and swine.
Statistics show that in 1850 the
southern states exclusive Of Nilsson
ri, raised, 8,542.109 meat cattle and
the same states in 1910 reported 49,
$4,000. The increase in the whole
country was very large. The South
dropped in sheep raising from $780,
500 in 1860 to $4,000 in 1910. There
was also falling off in swine. In
livestock the older southern states
are falling behind.
There Is an explanation for this
| notable and regretable showing made
by the South in this particular. In
1860 the South had SO per cent Of the
meat cattle Of the country q per
cent Of the sheep and 54 per cent of
the swine, though it's population was
only about 35 per cent of the total.
In 1910, with about 32 per cent of
the total population Of the country.
the South has less than 80 per cent
of the cattle, less than IL per cent
Of the sheep and less than 80 per
cent of the swine. Why?
The year 1865 found the South, or
at least large sections of it, pract-
cally depleted Of livestock to be used
as the basis for future supplies. The
South's pockets were empty Of mon
ey, and the only means Of obtaining
sufficient food for immediate neces
stiles was to go into debt for the
At the same time a great part Of the
agricultural machinery of the South,
it's negro population was deprived of
its directive brain power and, as
whole, has not yet gotten back to
the efficiency that it was in 1860.
This unfortunate situation fastened

Comptroller General Jones say
there Is no use I'm trying TO assp-s

no change i'm the present valuat .r Is

lie assessments so that each pre- gty

Ing true II is a hard proposition tAat
the township boards have TO tackle.
There Is neither uniformity nor Justice
In the present assessment o. property
I'm the city OF Sumter and in the coun-
ty OF Sumter. There are property
owners In this city who have their
property returned for taxation at less
than a fourth the market value and
many who would laugh at spot cash
offer of three to four times the valua-
ton they themselves place on II when
making return for taxation. There
are thousands of acres OF excellent
farm lands In Sumter county that are
returned at SO. SO or s5 an acre that
could not be bought for $40. $50 or
$50 an acre. The inequality and in
Justice OF this sort of thing lies In the
fact that some property owners in the
city have their property returned at
SO TO rs per cent. Of its market value
and many farmers are paying taxes
on their land on a valuation two to
three times as great as others whose
land is just as good or better. The
boards OF assessors should equalize as
sessments and not permit the men who
make fairly honest returns to bear
the burden that the tax-dodgers are
escaping by returning their property
at ten per cent of it's market value.
III the Sumter OIL Mill can buy sofa
beans In louisiana and Mississippi, pay
freight and still make money on them
IL would seem to be to the interest of
the mill to encourage the farmers OF
Sumter to plant the beans We are
satisfied many farmers would plant
the beans II assured OF a market at a
fair price. but none OF them would
risk planting a larger acreage en- an
uncertainty. II the cotton seed oil
mills expect 10 crush beans regularly
hereafter they should let 1t be known
80 the farmers can arrange to plant a
sufficient acreage to supply the local
demand.
The bill introduced In the legisla-
ture providing that the Master In
Equity Of Sumter county should be
paid salary of $500 per annum and
one-half OF all fees received In excess
OF $500. was finally passed. but II
was first amended so as TO be unob-
jectionable. Public opinion Is influen-
tial sometimes.
AS usual In campaign years there is
now more or less talk Of opposition to
Congressman Lever. but. as usual, the
opposition will peter out and Lever
