Northern Marriage Agreements.

The manner in which northern peo-
pie enter into written ante-nuptial
marriage agreements, which are moth
ing more or nor less than cold-blooded
business transactions, is repugnant to
southern sentiment and ideals. In the
marriage agreement between Col. As
tor and his fance, Miss Force,
which is said to have been signed at
Newporta few days ago S., 900, 600 was
settled upon her besides certain stipu-
lations that are to be embodied in the
colonel's viii.
For young woman to thus sell her
self to man who has been divorced
less than year is disgusting in the
extreme, and leads one to believe that
she deserves the severe criticism that
has come from practically every paper
in the land
Q Miss Force has shown herself to be a
very cheap young woman. Five mill
ion dollars, her purchase price, is
hardly more to Astor than S5 is to
the average South Carolinian.

Much Damaged Western Meal.

For many, many years unsound Wes-
tern corn has been killing hundreds of
horses and mules in South Carolina an
nually, but for some almost unaccount-
able reason it has never until recently
dawned upon our people that unsound
western meal was the cause of some
of our ills, if not death in many in
stances.
Commissioner of Agriculture E: j..
Watson, who is charged with the en-
forcement-of the law prohibiting the
adulteration of food products, has for
sometime been inspecting much of the
meal that has been shipped into South
Carolina, causing chemical analysis
to be made whenever the meal appeared
to be unfit for food. In scores of in
stances the meal has not come up to
the required standard. That taken
from five stores in Spartanburg has
been condemned and it's sale prohibited.
1t is said the damaged meal is also be-
ing sold in Columbia, Greenville and
Anderson. Who knows but that, with
out their knowledge, merchants in
Edgefeld, Trenton, Johnston and
throughout thegentire county occasion
ally sell meal that is not sound.
Commissioner Watson told the editor
of The Advertiser several days ago
that it is the practice of some of the
western mills to mix small quantity
of inferior or positively unsound corn
with the sound corn before it is ground
into meal, thereby making the actual
cost of meal to the mills much less
than were it made altogether from
prime white corn.
While TIE enforcement of the pure
food law is but very small part of his
work, had Commissioner Watson done
nothing else than curtail the shipment
of unsound western corn, meal and
flour his services would have been
worth to the people of the state ten
times what the maintenance of his de-
partment has cost.

Masterpiece "" is his title. He
wouldn't raise registered hogs if
there were not money in it, but Sec

Just so with the Angora goats.
His herd of some forty head origi-
mated a few years ago in the mind
of a physician friend who persuad-
ed him to raise them ''on shares"
as a diversion. But they seemed to
thrive with so little expense, and
were 80 useful in keeping the pas
lures cleared Of briars and under

pleasure in them. They are shorn
every year, the wool selling at 40

Association.
And he believes in varying the
monotony of directing labor with
some recreation, chiefly fishing.
Every little While he has to take
load of cornto mill to be ground,
and he invariably takes camping
outfit. fishing tackle and few
friends along to help him catch
fish. Always it means spending the
night fishing and often part of the
next day. Brem, trout, jack and
suckers all furnish their quota of
the sport. And the catch is suffi-
cient generally to give supper to
anywhere from where from four to
a dozen men. Twenty-Five were
entertained on one occasion last
spring, but the fishing was in a pri-
vate pond.

Great Meeting at Montgomery.

Probably the most representative
body of farmers, financiers and bust
ness men generally that ever came to-
gether in the south will attend the
meeting that has been called at Mont
gomery on September the 18th for the
purpose of considering the matter of
marketing the cotton crop of 1911. To
our mind, from ar agricultural or bu-
siness standpoint, this will be one of
the. most important conventions or
meetings ever held in the south. While
nothing tangible may come of it for
the present season, yet the moral eff
ect will be wholesome and telling.
That the most prominent BUSINESS
men of the south, representing al! p1o-
fessions, meet for the avowed purpose
of devising more profitable ways and
means of marketing cotton, dignifies
the south's great staple and places
it upon plane before the world that
it has not hitherto occupied. Some are
