Trenton Farmers Vie With Each
Other Over Their "Pet"

Up to this date the farmers of
our community have done the most
thorough work we have even seen.
Corn has been planted and so far as
we have been informed they are
preparing to cultivate it on the in
tensive rather than on the extensive
system. The prize acre of last year,
to great degree, was the school In
which the farmer learned this. The
grain crop bids fair to make good
weld though it has suffered some
from the drought. We notice some
good wheat which means that some
body is going tc live at home next
year. Some of our farmers are vielng
with their neighbors in their prize
acres of corn. You will hear about
these in the future.
We were very sorry to hear that
Mr.. S. T. Hughes lost his barn on
the Padgett place at an early hour

heavily on Mr.. Hughes as all of his
corn, fodder, hay and farming i'm

An Imperative Need.

Since talking with Mr.. j. W. Dorm,
tie custodian of the prisoners, we are
more convinced than ever that the
need for changes and repairs on the
county jail is imperative. AS at pres
ent arranged the only stairway leading
to the upper stories is from corner in
the kitchen, that portion of the build
ing where the fire risk is greatest.
At night all prisoners are locked in
the cells of the third floor for safe
keeping. In order to reach these cells
from the first floor, keys must be turn
ed in five heavy locks before the doors
can be opened. 1t can then be easily
seen that were fire to break out in the
building at or near the stairway, it
would be practically impossible to pre-
enta cremation Of the prisoners on
the third floor. The roasting of men
and women alive--it matters not what
their color isis horrible to contem-
plate. The wonder is that this condi-

ton or arrangement Of the Jail has
been allowed to remain unchanged SO
long.
The fact that the stairway leading
from the second to the third floor is
Immediately above that leading from
the first floor greatly increases the
danger. If flames were to gain con-
siderable headway before being detec-
ted they would ascend almost directly
to the third floor, shutting out all es-
scape for the prisoners above. ltmust
be borne in mind that the windows OF
the second and third stories are heavl-
ly barred which would make impossible
the removal of the prisoners with
ladders from the outside.
We trust that the board of county
commissioners will take this important
matter under consideration at th2lr
next meeting, carrying out the very
excellent recommendations of the spe-
cial committee of the grand jury.

Give the Boy a Chance.

Names are not coming in as fast as
they should for the boys corn club.
Fathers, do not expect your boys to
remain on the farm unless you make
the farm.attractive to them. There is
40 more effective way to accomplish
this end than to let him feel a personal
interest in the farm. The fact that
he can think of and refer to an acre of
fine corn as "mine" will cause him to
take more kindly to the farm and farm
life. As we have suggested before, set
apart choice acre for him and en-
courage him to do his best.

The Farmers Pay It.

The Clemson tag tax is now about
to reach S300,O00 more money than
Clemson needs and cause of infinite
squabbling in the state. Why should
mot that tax be reduced a little, We
have put so many restrictions and bur-
dens O. the fertilizer people that we
are ashamed to look them in the face
and the least that we can do is to let
them off with a few cents on that tag
tax.-Florence Times.
Figure as you may, we believe that
the farmers-not the fertilizer manu-
facturers-pay this enormous sum, and
for thatreason the children of farmers
who attend the public schools should
receive a large portion of the $500, 600.
Give Clemson what it actually needs
and let the remainder be given to
lengthen the terms of rural schools.

En- Route to Red Hill.

On Sunday afternoon two travel
ers left Edgefeld en- route for Red
Hill. The splendid roads,so red that
they could be seen sometimes a half
mile ahead as they wound in and
out among the hills, made the
journey delightful for the travellers
and easy on the horse. With such
attractive facilities for going from
one .,lace to another, there can be
said to be no more lonely country
roads, and no more isolation from
civilization. There were evidences
of life and activity even though 1T
was Sunday at every turn of the
road and hardly spot of available
soil that had not been disturbed by
the plough.
Another encouraging sight was
the number of new buildings, the
commodious new store of Gordon
and Jones at Antioch, esidences,
tenant houses, barns and various
dwellings which could be seen
along the way, and all of it done
within the past few months, and to
put nAlimax upegitc all the great
piles 81 lumber lying near the spien-
did church at Red Hill for the

Red Hill itself is like a little vii
lage with new and freshly painted
homes on every side. One leaves
this cheerful spot with pleasant
memories. The best of it is the
people. Ore of the residents who

the world, and could never be satis-
fed to live anywhere else" Rev. j.
T. Littlejohn who has been such
a power for good in this communi-
ty,- preached at the morning ser
vice and the big church at Red Hill,
was filled with people.
As the travellers drove up to the
parsonage at 2:30 o'clock they
heard the rattling of dishes and
pleasant talking, and such an odor
of hot coffee and inviting edibles
that although they had already par
taken of the midday meal, they en-
tered the dining room and had a
second and better dinner than was
their first.
In the parsonage they found Mr..
Littlejohn just preparing to make
his monthly 3rd Sunday afternoon
tour to Golfers, and pleasant sur
prise was the meeting of the broth
er and mother of Mrs. Littlejohn,
Mrs. Lanford and Mr.. Lanford of
Lanford's station, near Laurens.
A temperance meeting at the
church was well attended, and the
singing was very inspiring. Mrs.
Maggie Mcdaniel was at the organ
and the choir made up of young
men and young women. Misses
Louise Lyon, Eileen QUITS and Leila
McCreary were present and gave
an Edgefeld flavor to the congrega-
ton.
1t was a great pleasure to see
Mrs. Wallace Prescott again, and
find that she is making her value
felt at Red Hill as she did at Edge
field. The object of the meeting was
to put renewed life into the organi-
zation of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Unio2 of which Mrs.
w. E. Prescott is the president.

PAY MASTER URGES
A WAGE INCREASE
Cost of Living on Increase,
but No Corresponding
Rise in Pay, He Says.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 21.-
Tribute to the government employee is
written in the annual report of Pay
master General Charles H. Whipple
OF the Army in plea for an increase
OF salary and a system of retirement
when the employe reaches the ageof
incapacity. Referring to the statis-
tical increase of the cost of living dur
ing the past fifteen years, without a
corresponding increase in pay, Gen
eral Whipple says the increase is
asked not as a reward for past SER
vices but as an actual necessity"
Concerning the pension system, the
paymaster general continues:
There is no class of employees to-
day who are more deserving of recog-
milton in the matter of an increased
compensation and retirement with
reasonable pay than the government
clerks"
The salaries of the clerk in his Of
flee, he says, have not been increased
since 1870, in the face Of a so per
cent. increase in the cost of living.
1T is apparent" says General Whip
pie, that under these conditions the
clerks with families to support and
children to educate have been forced
to practise the utmost economy and
self-denial in order to make both ends
meet, and yet, in spite of this there
has been no diminution in their faith
full application and attention to duty
SO far as my office is concerned
General Whipple recommends that
at least so per cent. of the paymast-
er's department be made permanent
details. This could be obtained, he
says, by making the majors and the
higher grades permanent.
He also recommends that the per-
iod of detail to the grades of major,
lieutenant colonel and colonel be ex-
tended to six years, as, under the
present order of things, it is not until
an officers four year detail is draw
ing to a close that he has attained the
highest point of usefulness.
