THE REMOVAL OF PlNcHoT,

The removal of Chief Forester Pin ehot was hardly unexpected, In view of the grave charges repeatedly made by PinchOt against the conduct of the Department of the Interior it was Ob- vious last summer that Taft would eventually be compelled to make de clslOn as to the merits of the case and remove one or the other of the men.
 In his "whitewashing" letter, in which he completely exhOnerated Sec retary Balllnger, the stand that Taft Intended to make was evident. But, although he attempted to vIndicate BalHnger, the vindication was not convincing for the very reason that the man who made the charges was allowed to remain in office. True, Glavis was discharged; but Glavis was but a pawn in the game and it was evident that the Administration feared to remove Pinchot. This is not to be wondered at. for PinchOt is popular throughout the United States and his honesty and sincerity of purpose are generally acknOw- iedged.
 PinchOt kept repeating his charges and literally forced the hand of the President. It was BaIlinger or Pin ehot. One must go.
 Taft decided to retain BallInger and to remove PinchOt. A letter to Sen ator Deliver, asserting that Glavis told the truth, following as it did, Attorney General wickersham's "whltewash" of Ballinger and denun- citation of Glavis, gave Taft his oppOr- unity. and Pinchot was cast into the discard on the formal charges of in- subOrdiuation and conspiracy.
 tis too early to predict the result PinchOt is an able, fearless. broad guaged man. He believed the re- sources of the nation belonged to the people and should be used by them. This opinion is heresy, according to some of the Presidents associates.
 Taft has taken his stand and must abide by the consequences, If the people believe in the Barlnger idea of conserving public resources, well and good. But if the majority of the people favor the Roosevelt idea of conservation, and Pinchot repre- seuted the Roosevelt policies, then there are stormy times ahead for the Taft administration.
 One word more.
 In his letter of dismissal Taft stat ed that PinehOt was eOnspiring to dis credit the Administration. Evidently Taft has been finally deluded into be HeyiDg the Back from Elba" ROOse- welt fiction. Whatever discredit has been cast upon the administration has been caused by the acts of Taft himself, and his associates.
 It has been aptly remarked that Taft has carried out the Roosevelt policies. but that he carried them out on a shutter-dead.
 If Roosevelt is asked to be a can didate for president in 1912, Taft must look close at home for the cause.

Alabama Man Makes Seven Bales Oi
Cotton on Three Acres.

Washington, ID. C.-The more
one investigates the Uses of the land
the clearer becomes the conviction
that anywhere and everywhere in
this country land in its productive
ness is just what the cultivator
makes it provided he starts with a
reasonably good soil.
by combining thorough tillage,
crop rotation, barnyard manure,
and judicious use of commercial
fertilizer, Mr.. w. H. Dubosc, of
Brundidge, Ala, has succeeded in
producing seven bales of cotton
from a three acre tract, using moth
ing but the ordinary cotton seed, the
cost per acre being $3.50, as fol-
lows: Breaking the land, So. so; re-
bedding, $500; hoeing, 81. so; cul-
tivating, $500; picking, $1,000;
ginning, $3.50; hauling, $500.
On the three acre tract Mr.. Du-
bose cleared over $4,000. In a re-
cent letter to the Southern CONNER
cial Congress, Washington, D. c.,
MIR. Dubose gives full details rs to
the method of cultivation used by
him, copy Of which will be fur
nished upon request.
All through the South farmers
and planters are getting similar ex-
cellent results with various other
crops. 1t all depends upon the man
who gets the land. If he knows his
business generous Nature will return
him such rewards for his industry
as is not now possible in any other
line Of effort. II is just question
of mixing brains with the soil.
Several Profitable bulletins on cot
ton growing have been issued by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
one Of the most instructive being
bulletin No. 346, "A Profitable Cot
t5n arm," which describes in de-
tail khe various steps to success.

THE HOSPITAL.

We are glad to be able to chroni.
Gle the fact that the movement to
build an adequate hospital for Union
has assumed definite shape and the
determination with which the move
ment is being pushed warrants the
assertion that it will be success.
Everybody should feel an interest in
this charity for it is something
which is greatly needed. 1t is en-
couraging to know that the hand
some lot is already paid for and a
sum of several hundred dollars
ready to be paid into the treasury to
begin. Our people are prosperous
and it will be no difficult task to
raise ten thousand dollars for this
worthy cause. The fact that the in
stitution is to care for the unfortu-
mates who have no money to help
themselves will place this work upon
the hearts of the people Of Union
and Union county.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Another year has passed into the
silent and changcless destiny of his
tory. With its joys and sorrows, its
laughter and tears, its successes and
it's failures-19l0 has run its course
Most of us feel that we might have
done better, wrought more worthily,
endured more patiently. But We
should not allow vain regrets to cast
shadows forward. A new year, all
white sheets to be filled, is at hand.
Some morbid philosophers tell us il
is foolish to make New Year resolu-
tions. We do not believe it. 1t is
wise to make them; foolish to break
them. The desire to turn over a
new leaf is itself a witness to the
fact that desire to do better and be
better trripg within the heart.
A8 chat is worthy is borh
F~~at So we say, make
your Resolutions. hnd havIng made
them, stick to them. 1t is not for
us II. say just what direction your
resolve shall take. Let your own
heart prompt you, your own strong
will guide you.
Sometimes we fret because our
sphere is limited to narrow confines.
We feel that we could do some big
thing. But after all the life that is
worthy and that inspires hope in
other hearts is the life that meets
the heavy tax of the seeming insig-
nificant and the inconspicuous. To
take up ones task bravely day by
day; to meet the many minor duties
and faithfully perform them--this
it is which goes into the making of
a life worth while.
