LAURENS MAN MAKES REPLY TO BRUNSON

card OF Joel e. Brunson which APP

/ dislike exceedingly to be forced
into the public prints, but MIR. Brun-
son is SO absolutely mistaken in his
facts as to make a relpy necessary.
Mr.. Brunson makes the charge that
in 1898 my views were 80 closely
akin to license as to win a large part
of the liquor vote OF Charleston"
Now, MIR. Brunson knows, or ought
to know, that in 1898 made the fight
for straight prohibition; that from
every stump in South Carolina | made
prohibition speeches Charleston in
cludedD
He further knows, or ought to
know, that Charleston was violently
opposed TO Gov Ellerbe's reelection;
that in the first race / got almost no

record.
| do not desire TO be harsh. I'll;
do desire to make the statement that
any charge or insinuation to the effect
that | was or have ever been untrue
to the prohibition cause, or that

remind the people of the fact that

to make the race, but finally consented
to do so, at the urgent solicitation of
Mr. Brunson. The first meeting vas

Quite a number of prominent pro
hiDitionists met in Columbia, June 10,
1905, and adopted resolution in fa-
vor of calling State convention and
appointed committee to arrange for
and call the convention. When the
committee met (Oct 26) during fair
week. Mr.. FeatherStone was present
and moved, That it would be unwise
to put in the field State prohibition
ticket" and it was adopted Finding
he had Il majority of the few present
voting with him he then moved, THAT
hereafter all the work of the prohi-
bitionists be done through the Law

bad about the matter is not the pur-
pose TO disband the prohibitiOnists
but the fact that MIR. Featherstonc
had, just few weeks before, joined
in meeting to put in the field a
State ticket on prohibition-license

If he participated in that meeting
in the Jerome hotel. he had no moral
right in the prohibition committee.

LAURENS FARMERS
HOLD "RALLY DAY"
MIR. Campbell of Washing
ton Makes Address.
INTERESTING FIGURES
Wonderful Increase i'm Corn PrOduc-
ton i'm This State-Meeting
Was SimIy Attended.


Yesterday (Tuesday) was advertised
as Farmers Rally" day for Laurens
number of the members of the Boys
Corn Club were present to listen to
Mr. j. G. Campbell of the Bureau of
Plant Industry, at Washington.
MIR. Campbell did not seem at all
discouraged by the smallness of the
audience but pleasantly referred to
the fact that he did not always have
large audiences; that experience had
taught him that one day he might have
300 or 400 farmers present Gas at
AbbeVille a few days ago. the next he
might have very few (as at Laurens
Tuesday. Different interests in diff
ferent communities could no more be
explained than why one man should
be content to produce 10 TO 10 bushels
of corn to the acre where another was
making 100 bushels on land of same
character.
He stated that the census bureau
showed that the average earning ca
pacity of South Carolina farmer was
only $144, while the average earning
capacity of an Iowa farmer was
$1,100 That in natural advantages we
eXcelled the people of the North Vest
our land was naturally as fertile,
climate much better and our people
trouble was our people had inherited
different system of agriculture. He
cited an instance OF where he found
nearly all the farmers OF q county OF
North Carolina in a bad way financial
ly, brought about by the culture OF to-
bacco. In county OF Virginia he
found an entirely different conditions
everybody seemed prosperous, and
was told il was brought about by the
culture OF tobacco The difference
was that in the Ncginia county the
farmers produced their home supplies,
through the aid OF live stock, while the
North Carolina farmers bought their
home supplies, together with tAeil
live stock and fertilizers. The one
had tobacco as surplus; the other
had nothing left when these We're set
tied for.
That the farmers of South Carolina
had paid out an average Of $lj per
bale for fertilizers to produce lasi
years crop of cotton, when bg prop
er methods of agriculture practically
all of this money would be saved 10
the farmers and at the same time the
lands made vastly more productive
He was gratified at the increasing
interest in agriculture. Three years
ago there was produced in South Car
olina only II million bushels of corn
while last year 81 millions Uf bushels
were produced.
Our common schools should teach
elementary agriculture and the boys
instructed in the possibilities of sue
cessful agriculture.
Mr.. Campbell regretted that none
Of the other speakers who were eX-
pected were able to be present but
he made a splendid talk for more than
an hour and those who were so for
tunate as to hear him were delighted.

The only unfavorable element in

lttitUde of federal lawmakers and
tate officials towards the railways
md the spirit which would prevent
he companies from moderately ad-
5ancing their charges to offset the
increased cost of operation. When
he manufacturer is obliged to pay
higher prices for raw material and
increased wages he does the only
possible thing in the circumstances
md spondingly raises the charge
or his product. The railways are
obliged to pay increased prices for
supplies and higher wages, and it
5 only reasonable that they should
get more for what they sell, name
y, transportation.
That they are impelled to raise
heir charges is plain from current
,raffic returns showing increased
gross takings, while costs of oper-
ltion have increased in still greater
ratio, with resulting decrease in net
earnings. Unless the greatest of

In his speaking here, Mr.. Fits
gave general sa is faction. He was
pronounced by those who heard him
De a departure from the rampant
ldicalism affected by some eXhort-
RS Of the same calling. He dealt
yith the theme of socialism versus
apitaliSm in a calm though earnest
manner, and confined his remarks
o argument rather than to abuse.

ime to showing the distinction be-
ween the two parties, notably, the

INSTRUCTIONS
AS TO LANDS
WALLoWA NATIONAL FOREST is
STILL TECHNICALLY
CLOSED.

La Grande. July 1.-The recent
eliminations of various tracts oi
lands supposed TO be of an agricul-
tural character. from the edges of
the national forests, by proclamation
OF President Taft, has been the cause
of nearly as much interest and fal
more misunderstanding on the part
of the general public than the ia
nous openings held last year in the
states of Washington and Montana.
At the U. s. Land Office at La
Grande, official notice has been re
ceived giving the eliminations from
the Umatilla and Whitman national
forests only. The Wallowa Nation
al Forest, which is the center Of
interest in this part of the country,
has not yet been filed here. A copy
of the presidential proclamation, in
connection with the Wallowa forest
has been received in this city,
through unofficial sources, and all
Persons intending to file upon lands
should carefully note the following
paragraph relating to settlement and
entry of lands thrown out:
"The lands hereby eliminated
from the Wallowa National Forest
which are not embraced in any 9th
er reservation or appropriation, shall
be restored to the public domain and
become subject TO settlement under
the general provisions of the home
stead laws on such date and after
such notice by publication as the
Secretary of the Interior may pre-
scribe, but shall not become subject
TO entry. filing. selection, or other
form of appropriation until the ex-
piration of thirty days from the
date so fixed, and no person will be
permitted to gain or exercise any
right whatever under any settlement
or occupation begun prior TO such
date, and all such settlement and
occupation are hereby forbidden
Ii will thus be seen that, before the
Interior Department names a date
for settlement, no one will be per-
mitted to settle upon any of the
eliminated lands, as this is express
ly forbidden. 1t will also be noticed
that none of such lands will be sub
iect to filing of any kind until the
expiration of 80 days from the date
fixed for settlement. Hence the ell
ement of speculation and fraudulent
location in connection with these
lands is largely minimzed. Due ad-
vertising will be made, through the
local officials, not only of the dates
but of the lands eliminated as well.
Therefore, intending settlers should
be very careful to follow strictly
