Running q Newspaper.

George AIDE says about every other
fellow you meet thinks he could run
good hotel, and we have come to
the conclusion that about every one
you meet could run a fine newspaper,
remarks Eugene L'Hote, the genial
editor and publisher Of the Milford
Gll.) Herald, editorially in a recent
issue of that bright and interesting
paper. Men will take the liberty to
tell you how to run paper, asserts
L'Hote, when they couldn't think OF
limiting to the merchant how to con-
duct his store or tell the preacher
what to preach. They pay good money
for schools and don't know whether
Johnny is learning the rule of three
or how to hold a cigarette gracefully,
but when it comes to the newspaper,
sizzling cats, there's where they all
get off. During the past week a friend
wanted to know why we didn't try
and run a paper little more along
the lines of how Christ would run a
paper. We don't know just how that
would be. In the first place If Christ
was back On earth we don't believe
he would go into the newspaper busl-
ness at all, and if he did we are sure
he wouldn't come to Milford to do it.
If our friend had wanted it more on
a religious plane we could tell him
frankly that it wouldn't pay. There
is not an editor or a preacher that
could tell the truth for thirty days
and stay in the community in which
they live. If our friend doubts this
let him try telling the absolute truth
for just one week and see where he
lights. We never were much to soft
soap" or "blarney" anyone; in fact
our bluntness and honesty of speech
has cost us many friends. Tell the
truth! We aren't going to do it, yet
we believe there would be better
understanding with humanity, many
times, if people had the courage to do
it. A Kansas editor announced he
would try for one week and he is still
in the hospital. He didn't get past
the first day. The following item ap-
peared in Mondays issue and now the
boys are getting out the paper. This
is what he said: married, Miss Sylvia
Rhode to James Cannaham, last Sun
day evening at the Baptist church
The bride was an ordinary town girl
who don't know any more than a rab-
bit about cooking and never helped
her mother three days in her life She
is not beauty by any means and has
gait like duck. The groom is an
upto-date loafer, has been living off

The disease known throughout CEN
t~al and eastern South Carolina as
"black root" or "wilt' is getting to be
wied-spread. A few years ago wilt

in Marion, Sumter, and Marlboro

that wilt caused over a million dol
lars loss in this State last season.
The fungus which causes wilt IS
primarily soil organism. Land once
infested it remains 80 Indefinitely.
This makes the disease hard to con-
troi. Rotation can not be relied upon
and fuigicides are useless. The only
means We have then Of controlling
these diseases is by the use OF VIII
resistant varieties. Mr.. Orton ana

,'aT,ment of agriculture at Washing
ton have originated two varieties OF
cotton and one OF coWpeas which are
almost immune to wilt. These Varle-
ties are also very resistant to the
root-knot disease which is frequently
found associated with wilt. These re-
sistant varieties have proven OF en-
ornlous; value to farmers in the Wilt
infested districts. By the use o. these
many farms which had to be aban-
doned on account of the wilt disease
have been restored to their former
productiveness.
The trouble about the wilt resistant
varieties, though, is that they will not
retain their wilt resistant properties
indefinitely and under all conditions
It has been found for instance that
when such varieties are grown under
ordinary farm practices for three or
four years, they degenerate to such
an extent that they become PRACTICAL
ly worthless from wilt resistant
stand point On the other hand where
sufficient care is exercised these va
rieties retain their wilt resistant pro"
perties indefinitely. A recent survey
of the wilt infested sections of the
State shows that the majority of peo-
pie who are planting wilt resistant
varieties of cotton and coWpeas are
taking absolutely no precautions to
keep the varieties pure. Under such
conditions the resistant varieties have
gone back to such an extent that
many farmers are beginning to won
der whether there is such thing as
a variety which is free from wilt.
In order to correct this trouble and
at the same time improve the quality
and productiveness of some of the
wilt resistant varieties Of cotton and
cowpeas, the South Carolina expert
ment station In conjunction with the
United States department of agricul-
ture is planning to cooperate with a
number of farmers in the wilt infest-
ed sections of the State in the pro-
dlctiOr of high grade seed Of the re-
sistant varieties. In this cooperative
work, the plan is to furnish a small
quantity of pure bred, highly improv-
ed seed to one or more farmers IN
zach county where wilt is causing
trouble. One man under the direction
of the division of cotton and truck
diseases of the bureau of plant indus
try and the botany division of the
South Carolina experiment station
will devote his entire time to study
ing this problem and to helping these
cooperative breeders in selecting and
breeding their cotton and coWpeas Tor
wilt resistance. These cooperative
breeders will be given an official ceT-
ti1icate of inspection at the end OF
the season setting forth the character
of seed produced. They will then sci!
such seed to their neighbors who ere

ENTRACT WITH ATLANTA FIRM.
IEe Terms Under Which DiSpenSary
Commission Employed Attorney
to Ferret Out the Graft.
The State, 1st.

The State, 1st.
The communication from the dis
pensary commission to Gov. Blease
was printed in the State yesterday.
Sent with that communication were
exhibits which have interest to all the
people OF the State. These are the
contracts for services of attorneys.
The contract with Anderson, Fielder,
Rountree & Wilson is concisely ex-
pressed in the following letter of Jan
uary 9, 1908, to the attorney general
from Col. T. B. Fielder of that firm:
There seems to be some possible
ambiguity about our contract entered
into with the State dispensary co..
mission on May 9, 1907, as to the COM
pensation we a,e to receive for our
services.
This ambiguity has been suggested
by one of my partners, who is inter-
ested in the contract. l explained to
him that there was no ambiguity as
the meaning of the same was fully
discussed between you, the attorney
for the commission an5$ members
thereof, at the time of tne execution
of the same and we agreed that the
contract meant as follows:
tThat we were to receive 10 per
cent Of whatever reductions may be
obtained on the accounts now open
and amounting to about 100000. At
ter taking off this salvage, the ap-
parent amount due each creditor is to
be held subject to such salvage or
set-off as may be had by reason of
overcharges on accounts heretofore
paid by the South Carolina dispensary
officials, and on this salvage we are
to be paid so per cent. by the State
dispensary commission.
KINDLY see the chairman Of the
board and confirm our understanding

In other words, the contract is thus
illustrated: If the John Smith Distill-
ing company had q, claim against the
State of $4,000 and the Atlanta at
torneys, by their own efforts, could
show $4,000 graft on this claim, the
commissions of the Atlanta lawyers
would be $4,000. However, before the
remaining $4,000 should be paid tc

termined that prior to the sale Of the
goods in the invoices for the specific
$4,000 there had been graft, the At
