Resolutions Upon Col. Bacon's
Death.

The following Resolutions were
Unanimously Adopted by the
South Carolina Press Association
at Glenn Springs, S. c., Tuesday,
June IA, 1910:
Among the members of this As.
ISOLATION, since it's beginning, many
men Of uncommon talents and at
tainments have been enrolled, but
your committee risks little in say
ing that none has contributed SO
much to the sprightliness and So
cial charm of its meetings as the
late James T. Bacon. If. not the
greatest gift that man may have,
humor is perhaps the rarest, and
when the humor is of a rarely sweet
and gentle quality, it is treasure
trove unfAiling to all who share it's
possessor's eompanionship. Mr..
Bacon was a delightful gentleman
and we intend the word delight
full" to carry it's fullest meaning.
He was cultivated man in the
broad sense; a musician of an invia-
BILE skill; widely and literally edu-
Gated in the purest literature of
more than one language, and wri-
ter of merit distinctly above the
standard usually required by the
best journals. If he gained no
wide reputation, it was because he
chose to spend his life among the
heighbQrs and friends of the village
and county in which he was born
and where he grew up, devoting his
brilliant powers to helping them
and smoothing the path for those
whose feet were weary. In
large community his unique abili-
ties would have won such recogni-
tion as most men crave, but his de-
liberate choice was to spend and be
spent for those who seemed to need
him most. AS soldier and cltl-
zen in days of stress or in quiet
time, modestly, but ever bravely
and faithfully, he did his duty.
Therefore, be it
Resolved, 1st. That the death of
James 7. Bacon brings to the MEM
bers of the South Carolina Press
Association sense of personal sor-
row and loss.
End. That they testify to his 10y
atty to and self-sacrifcing zeal for
high ideals of journalism, and to
the fidelity with which he served his
people and his country.
8. That copies of these resolu-
tions be sent to his family and the
newspapers of his county, and chat
they be recorded in the minutes of
this Association.

A Corn Carnival.

But the plentiful harvests be
ing garnered in this section does
not stop here. Not only the fruits
of the earth and the grasses and
forage crops are being brought
forth by the copious and refreshing
showers, but corn, sH eet, whole.
some and nutritious. is being made
in the greatest abundance the South
has ever known. A nan by the
name of Williamson, native of
South Carolina, for whom the Viii.
Hanson process of raising corn is
named, is the best friend of the
farmer and the greatest of public
benefactors. He has made TWO ears
of corn grow where only one ear
grew before, and he has taught the
South thatshe could grow corn with
greater profit than any other sec-
tion of the globe. All hail the
name of Williamson!
"A glorious sight it is, a fine
field of corn in silk and tassel, with
plumes waving, pennants streaming
and stalks erect, and in perfect
alignment, like files of grenadiers
on dress parade.
by the Williamson system the
maximum yield of corn was raised
from 25 or so bushels to 100 or
more per acre. Thus it becomes
possible to raise on a comparatively
small area, say FIVE or six acres, by
this intensive plan, corn enough TO
do an entire plantation for the year.
Corn being a water loving plant,
irrigation would greatly increase
the yield.
Last year Georgia produced S.
59s,ooo bushels of corn and South
Carolina 33,337,Ooo. With the in
creased acreage and increased yield
per acre, Owing to the favorable
season this year, it is expected that
the crop in these two States will
largely exceed these figures.

presidential possibility and candi-
date for the Democratic nomina-
tionfor that Office, has been. invited
to deliver.an address at the open

PRESS FREEDOM

WRITER in the Twentieth Cen
"a tury Magazine complains of the
IA bondage Of the press, saying I'VE
feel that all thinking men must agree
that not only fundamental democracy
but the republican form of government
itself is endangered by present condi-
tions. Individualism distorted into
privilege for the few to despoil the
many means feudalism. 1t is not i'm
perialism that threatens us, as some
writer's apprehend, although there are
few fearful Iikenesses between pres
ent American tendencies and the en-
pires of Europe, or between our cur
rent history and the history of Rome.
navy doubled in a decade and plans
to double the army in this time Of peace
are plans not favorable to real demoe-
racy. Campaign funds twenty to for
ty times the annual salary of our pres
ident have too ugly a resemblance to
those distributions of corn and wine
and the free amusements on a lavish
scale by which Roman emperors bought
their offices from a degenerate people.
But our present government, having
for its real rulers the powerful and
ruthless masters of finance and COM
merce, is far from imperial, being more
like that feudalism which in the middle
ages held and despoiled the countries
of Europe. Out of a similar system
grew the reign of those shoguns of old
Japan, who for centuries kept virtual
prisoners the sacred person of the mi
kado himself. And not unlike the fate
Of the mikado of those times is that
of the American president, made all
most helpless by fealty to a party
owned and officered by industrial bar
ons and their aids, elected by their
money, advised by their agents, ma
ligned and insulted at will by their
hired writer's
In spite of this jeremiad, freedom of
the press still exists, and always will
exist as long as there are men of in
dependent mind who are determined
to speak the truth. We believe that in
the words of the old Latin proverb,
great is the truth, and it will prevail.
We admit there are some papers whose
sale of space is not restricted to their
advertising pages; but-there are 9TH
ers, and as long as there are others,
there remains in the United States
free press, and as long as a proportion
of the press retains its independence.
there is good reason to believe the day
of the emancipation Of the newspaper
industry from the thraldom Of Inter
ests' win come; and America once
more will rejoice in higher civiliza-
tion's most effective ally and agent,
an ALL-FREE PRESS.

PROSPERITY

~ REAT prosperity IN Los Angeles
IL is indicated by the gratifying fact
W the total valuation of building
uernits issued in the first twenty-five
DAYS of this month is nearly three
times the amount for the correspond
ing period of 1909.
This years total is S1,4s2,132, an in
cerase of $934,s7S compared with the
corresponding period Of last year. The
total number of permits was 751, an
increase of 290.
Business structures and residences
continue to be erected in Los Angeles
with a rapidity that indicates a con-
stant demand for more room in which
the vigorous activity of the city may
expand. At the harbor there are
equally gratifying signs of progress
and prosperity. Any citizen who does
not realize the harbor is busy should
take a trip to it, view the forest of
masts and listen to the music of the
work of loading and unloading cargoes
and he will return convinced and en-
thusiastic.
1t is the duty of every good citizen
of Los Angeles to be enthusiastic over
the harbor and TO realize the immense
maritime possibilities of this metropoli-
tan center, possibilities which, real
ized in the Los Angeles way, will make
our city the foremost in the west in
respect of manufacturing and com
1nerce as it is today the foremost in
homes. education and many other re-
sDects.

UNION LABOR TEMPLE

" ORKERS have good cause for re-
wv joicing over the dedication Of
~ the Union Labor temple in Los
Angeles. The temple represents the
grit, perseverance and good citizenship
of the wage earners of Greater Los
Angeles. 1t puts into concrete form an
expression of the fact that if some of
the republic has been created and
maintained by the "man who bosses
the job" a great part of 1t has been
created and is being maintained by
the man who DOES the job.
We owe our civilization to the work.
ing people. Society exists because they
are willing to sell work for wages. If
they refused to work the effect would
be as disastrous as that Of an armed
revolution. On their good will, there
fore, the prosperity of the nation de-
pends; and no nation has been even
fractionally as much benefited by the
good will of its workers as has our re-
public, the United States of America.
Nothing that history records is as
marvellous as the clearing up, the cul-
tivatton, the building over, the agri-
cultural, Industrial and transposition
development of this continent; and so
great a part has the willing toiler
taken in every phase of this develop
ment the republic may well be called
the workingnans country. The Union
Labor temple is one of the most typ
ically American buildings in Greater
Los Angeles.

FAITH

VT HEN Jesus said. "Thy faith hath
w made thee whole" we are bound
to believe Him. He did not
say, ct have made thee whole" He
said it was FAITH had worked the
seeming miracle. The puzzle of all
the ages has been the cessation of the
direct operation of faith. We say "di-
rect operation" because indirectly
faith, or confidence, is responsible for
all of the stupendous miracles Of mod
ern times. Confidence is behind every
great achievement.
Faith has removed mountains and
cast them into the sea. By faith the
oceans have been roped with cables,
and hemisphere talks to hemisphere.
BY faith a newer, stranger miracle Is
being wrought, and words are flashed
from continent to continent without
any current-carrying wires. By faith
the human voice is transported hun
dreds of mites, and confidential mes
sages are spoken into listening ears
in the recognizable tones of the send
ers. BY faith the heavens are nav
igated, and we doubt not the airship
soon will be carrying freight and pas
sengers over regular routes.
BY common faith in a governmental
ideal a great and powerful nation has
been built up in little over hun
dred years to such proportions it is
now the predominant partner in the
magnificent English-speaking group,
and is arbiter of the destinies of the
world. Surrounded by great and con-
vincing demonstrations OF the POWER
of faith, why are there still doubters,
men who hesitate, men who fritter
away time with their questionings,
men who will tell you frankly they
don't believe in their fellow men,
s'haven't much faith in them?" Faith
had a great deal to do with the up
building and the success of the Amer
tcan nation. Faith brought the Pill
grims and the earlier colonists to the
stormy Atlantic sh. res. Faith in the
future was in every thread with which
Betsy Ross sewed the stars on the flag.
Faith can do for an individual, in his
single life, what it can do for nation,
in its multiple life. Try faith.

AMERICANS TAXED

~ UGAR TRUST has issued a state
ment to the public. It relates to
~ granulated sugar and other kinds
and perhaps should be taken with
granulated salt. Yet let us hear the
explanation: "Granulated sugar is
now quoted for export at three and one
tenth cents a pound against a domestic
price of four and nine-tenths cents a
pound. The difference is caused by the
refund by the government of the larger
part of the duty previously paid upon
the raw sugar.
But hold on, oh most serene and sac
charine explainers. Tell US at what point
ers are benefited by your refund ?
Thanks to the protective tariff, foreign
consumers get our refined sugar at one
and eight-tenths cents a pound less
than we pay for it. Here is another
instance, then, where the protected
American pays more for goods sold
him by Americans than unprotected
alien foreigners pay for similar goods
sold them by the same patriotic Amer
leans. And as consumption of sugar
in the United States amounts to about
seven billion pounds of the raw ar
ticle, 1t Is clear protection" COSTS
DOMESTIC CONSUMERS about $780,
100000 annually.
Well?
Perhaps the protective" tariff does
not again hit the American citizen be-
low the belt?
Protective" tariff! Boshl 1t is q
bullying and a cowardly tariff.

LOAN SHARKS

n TACTICAL measures for the elm
ination of the loan sharks from
Il the city pay rolls have been
taken by the city council, the members
of which are to be congratulated on
having tackled this question ag-
gressively, which is the only method by
which it should be handled. We say
elimination of the loan sharks from
the city pay roll.' because that is
what it amounts to. When, under the
monthly payment system, pay day ar
rived, it found the shark waiting for
his loans and interest. When the total
payment had been made by the victim
OF the monthly pay system and the
shark combined sometimes there was
not much left for the family of the
victim.
By doing away with the monthly
payment system and substituting a
weekly pay roll the principal oppor-
tunity of the shark will be done away
with, because that opportunity was
based upon the difficulty experienced
by many employees owing to the long
waits between pay days, which forced
them to run accounts and to resort
to fnanciering devices In order to meet
emergencies.
Most of the economic troubles of the
people of the United States are
caused by parasitism in one form or
another. Let us be thankful that in
q somewhat petty but none the less
odious form 1t has been expelled from
Los Angeles.

AlilHonaires Who Laugh Are
Very Rare, Says DR.. Carnegie
(Address on william chambers)

provide themselves with something
precious to retire to. 1t is a serious
matter to advise them to retire from
business, for none can be happy who
have not followed the Chambers ex-
ample, and never failed to interest
themselves in higher things. Million
aires who laugh are rare, very rare in
deed. In early days, how man was
born was the test. In recent years,
how much wealth he owned has been
threatening to displace that standard.
Disraeli records that a millionaire In
Britain must rank as a parsonage; in
our day it is rather how much man
knows, for knowledge is power, and
there is much to be said for this, for,
as Mr. Balfour reminds us, it is upon
scientific research and the knowledge
and inventions flowing therefrom that
the progress of our race in the future
depends. But the day is coming when
the test will be neither how man was
born nor how much wealth he pos
sesses, nor even how much he knows,
but how he has served his fellows
what has he done to make the world
or the little spot where he was born
little better than he found it? Not how
we'll he has served himself, but how
we'll he has served others.
