Gov. Noel'S WASHINGTON Trips.

Governor Noel made four trips
to Washington in the years 1903
and 1909, the total expenses being
something less than 5000, account
of which was made to, and APP
proved by, the last Legislature.
Among the important services
rendered the State during these
trips was the collection of $28, $685.

land, which had been due this
State since about 1853, and had
been pigeon-holed during the
Civil War and remained pigeon

shown in the report of the Land
Commissioner to the last Legisla-
ture. In that report is a letter
from Mr.. H. H. Schwartz, acting
Assistant Commissioner of United

There are a great many people, who
like to argue that prohibition cannot
be enforced; but people who have Civ
en close attention to the subject over
a great many years, are not very much
impressed with such arguments,
for the reason that they nave but little
respect for their sincerity.
The conditions necessary for the en-
fOrcement of prohibition of the liquor
traffic are exactly the same as are
requisite for the enforcement of any
other laws. They are a good. healthy,
supporting public sentiment that is
too discriminating TO be deceived by
crafty politicians, and that is earnest
and firm enough not to allow itself to
be- marked by the slickery of shystcrs.
There is in the average Piedmont
fundamental right of prohibition to
command a majority of the votes at
the ballot box in favor of the law,
wherever sufficient effort has been
made to arouse the consciousness re-
ferred to; but many communities have
had the experience of arOusing that
consciousness sufficiently to establish
prohibition as Il matter of law, with
out developing the sentiment strongly

Tine two greatest difficulties in the
way of enforcing prohibition are
avaricc and appetite, and if W" were
called upon to say which of the two

would unhesitatingly say avarice. The
reason of this is that the appetite5

TIE SPANISH SWINQLE,

1t is rather unusual for the state
department at Washington to go into
the newspapers officially for any pur-
pose: but it is now doing so in an eff
fort to put the public on notice in re-
gard to the so-called Spanish Swim
die" This swindle is already more or
less familiar to the people of this sec
ton. AS to whether anybody here
abouts has ever bitten, we have no in
formation, but we do know that letters
have been received by prospective
victims and that the thing has been
exposed in the newspapers, including
TIE Enquirer, time and again. How
ever. because the expose of the state
department is so out-Of-the- ordinary,
and because there IS possibility that
publication may be the means Of saw
ing people who are now considering
guardianship of the Spanish prison

have been idle since last night; but

ADVICE TO THE FARMERS.

President Barrett Of the National
Farmers Union, has sounded note
of stern warning to the farmers of the
south. There is nothing new in 1t;
but it is put in such a comprehensive
and unanswerabe way as to be we'll
worth the most careful consideration.
I'm the fall of 1907 we had flnan-
cial stringency in this country, sort
Of near-panic, but near enough to en-
barrass thousands Of southern farmers
and thousands Of southern business
men. Do you remember how it affect
"The way for members of the
Farmers Union to kill the effect or
future panics, so far as they are con-
cerned, is to raise at home all the
foodstuff, for man and beast, neces-
sary to run the farm.
1.-THE procedure Is as plain as the
nose on your face and it is proven by
nv own observation and experience,
and the observation and experience
of thousands of other farmers.
"In Campbell county, Georgia.
where I live, I know a farmer who
makes cotton simply surplus, cash
crop. The rest of his land he puts in
grain and fodder and potatoes, cab
bage and other vegetables. He
doesn't forget poultry and eggs eth
er
This man side-stepped the panic
of 1907 He never has to go into
debt to the village merchant. He new
er has to consult the village mer-
chant regarding how much or how
little cotton he shall plant. He raises
hogs and at the first touch of perma-
nent cold weather he kills them.
The result is, that when he sells his
profit, with a small amount he has to
take out for dry goods or farm i'm
plements.
'rThere are many thousand such
members of the Farmers Union, but
not enough by a jugful. Every men,
ber of the organization, every farmer
in the south for that matter. ought.
in plain, business self-interest, to pro-
duce enough to feed himself and his
family the year round, leaving cotton
as a crop to give him ready money,
but of no more importance than that
ITO raise all cotton and ignore
foodstuffs and grain is to go into
debt, in the majority of cases, to your
merchant and to expose yourself to
the full blast Of panic should one
come along.
"On the other hand If you produce
on your own acres the things needful
70 sustain life in yourself, your fam
ilv and your employees. not forget
ting your stock. you can absolutely
defy the pinch Of panic, be indepen-
dent of the merchant and the banker.
and be your master in the true sense.
PLANT moderately in cotton, raise
vour own food and the food for your
stock, and raise wall against disas-
fer for yourself and your family.
This year it looks like you must
make the choice.
I'm the cotton season just closing.
cotton brought, as rule, high prices.
The crop was not large and the
worlds demands were eXorbitant.

bring a good price next fall. If you

prices into planting huge crop.

even the smartest Of farmers. He rea-
sons this way: I know my neighbor
Is going to reduce his cotton acreage,
and plant foodstuffs. So I'll plant
the usual acreage and make profit
off his cautousness.'
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1910-03-01

THAT way lies a tremendous crop
and uncertain prices next fall. Avoid
the temptation as you would disease
or dishonOr Plant cOnservatively in
cotton and raise a bumper crop of
foodstuffs.
Did you ever realize that the
southern farmer has the greatest
cinch' in all history? In the first
place, providence has given him a
world monopoly Of cotton. the one
staple that is indispensable to civiliza-
ton.
THE nations must have our cotton
and they get it from the south
though they can secure their steeI
and their wheat elsewhere.
"In addition. providence has sc
constituted the southern states that

to feed himself and his family, with
absolute disregard to the mercantile
world.
"In any other section. in any other
country, I believe the people would
quickly have gotten on to this mo-
nopoly and made themselves abso-
lutely Independent.
ut is up to the southern farmer tC
make himself Independent, to so place
himself that he can defy panics and
gradually accumulate wealth. by d.
versifcation. Not diversifcation one
year or two years, but every year.
II should like every member and
every farmer in the south to practice
these principles. I am not asking you
to do me a favor. I am asking you
to place money in your own pocket
when I urge upon you the self-pres-
ervation Of short and long food

SUICIDE NEAR CLOVER.

The dead body of Mr. George M.
Stewart, a prosperous and highly es-
teemed young farmer. who lived about
mile east of Glover, was found in the
barn at his home at an early hour last
Saturday morning, and a sharp razor
lying beside a pool of blood, that had
flowed from a gaping wound in his
throat, told a tragic story Of an unex-
planned suicide.
An investigation made later in the
day by A. ]. Quinn, Esq, acting cor
oner, and a jury, failed to develop a
great deal Of satisfaction as to the
cause of the rash deed. Mrs. Stewart,
the widow Of the dead man, told how
her husband had been up and down
several times during the night with
the baby, which was unwell, and how
at 430 he had gone out, with the state
ment that he would feed and get the
days work started. A negro boy told
how he had been sent on errands, first
for a negro woman to help about the
farm work and then for laborer and
how he had afterward found the dead
body lying under the roughness shed
of the barn. Mrs. Stewart did not
learn of the tragedy until after the
frightened boy had given the alarm,
and although sick herself, went out to
investigate with the result that she
found things as already described.
The deceased young man was a son
of Mr.. c. c. Stewart of Yorkville, and
was abount 32 years of age. He left
home at about 23, and since then has
been farming, first as a laborer, then
as an overseer and for the last year or
more as a renter. He was getting
along nicely in a material way, and not
only had some good stock and an
abundant supply of provender ETC., but
had some money ahead. He was married
to a Miss Martin. They had one child,
little girl about six months old, ond
were apparently quite happy together
No one knows of any reason why young
Stewart should have taken his life.
On the contrary, all of his friends and
acquaintances were very much shock
ed at the rash deed, and the only sat-
isfactory theory as to the reason Of
it, was probable temporary mental
alteration.
Besides his widow and child, the de-
ceased is survived by his father and
mother two brothers and five sisters.
The funeral service was conducted at
the home on Sunday by Rev. w. E.
Lowe, pastor of Glover and Union
churches and the interment took place
at Glover.
