important Work Begun.

Incur opinion, no annoupcement has
been made in recent years that is of
greater Importance to the agricultural
Interests than the announcement that
fthe farm demonstration work will be-
gin at once in this county. Realizing
the great need of the work in Edge
field county, the writer conferred sew
eral times with Mr.. Ira w. Williams,
the director of the work in South Caro-
lima, concerning the appointment of a
county agent, urging thatit be done as
quickly az possible. Mr.. Williams has
always been willing and anxious to take
the matter up but the limited appro-
priation caused postponement from
time to time. However, the time hav
ing arrived for an auspicious beginning,
Mr.. P. N. Lott of Johnston has been
appointed as county agent. In select
ing him, Mr.. Williams has made no
mistake. Mr.. Lott is not only q sue
cessful farmer but ranks among the
most progressive men in the county and
is well fitted, in technical knowledge as
well as in experience, for this special
work.

Good Roads Always Pay.

While the farmers of this section are
apparently using more commercial fer,
tiizers this year than usual, they have
hauled the increased volume with less
real expsnse than smaller quantity
has cost heretofore. The public roads
of the county have been in better
condition since the first of January
than ever before at the same season OF
the year. Heavy loads have beer
drawn with greater ease than the ordi,
nary loads. Only yesterday the writer
saw two one-horse wagons that came :
distance of twelve miles loaded with
five sacks each. We have seen the
time when two or three sacks woule
have been considered a good load fol
such distance. This gives some ides
of the benefit of good roads.

Timely Recommendations.

Attention is directed to tho tlis rsrIbn; Ib,,;,d
committee on pubic piiu
mos that is embodied in the report o'
the grand jury. After making thor.
ouch examination into the condition o
the iail, the committee, among otoe
recommendations, urges that an aao'

to the second story to serve $ a mean al
of escape for the priscne...;. .,FIs II; oners to
FIRE. Under the thseng' grh having absolutely
1t ls saSSf 81 escape should fire originate
at or near the stairway. Not a single
recommendation concerning the Jail has
been made amiss and it is hoped that
the proper officer will take the matter
In hand and have the work thoroughly
done-regardless of cost, within reason
able bounds. The jail is being well
kept, but the neglected condition of
the building has for several years been
arefiection on the county. While they
are at it, we trust that the officers
will put the building and its surround
ings in G. first7class condition.

Reaping Good Results.

The counties that voted out whiskey
are now realizing good results in the
form of fewer crimes and shorter terms
of court. The Walterboro Press and
Standard commented last week
upon the very short term of the
criminal court for Colleton county, CIV
ing the absence of whiskey as the
cause. The Bamberg Herald also had
the following to say of the recent term
in that county:
''That the criminal court of county
consumed only one day and only three
cases tried, speaks well for the citizens
of Bamberg. No doubt this is the
shortest criminal court ever held in the
state, that is, for a regular term"
In this connection, it should be borne
in mind that only about three aid a
half days were consumed last week in
clearing the criminal docket of our own
county.

have caused many farmers to make as
much corn on three or four acres as
they formerly made on ten or h1teen'
acres. and now they will devote the
remainder of their land to cotton.
Although this remark was made part
lv in lest, there is doubtless an ele-
ment of real truth in it. Now II we
were called upon to sum up IN one
word all that we have said and written
on farming during the past few years
it would be INTENSITY, which, 9TH
erwise expressed, is to obtain the larg-
est possible yield from small area
The largest item of expense In max
ing crop on our impoverished south
ern soil is labor, which is scarce, unre'
liable, and generally Improbable. inns
expense, however, can be reduced II
proportion that one decreases the ares
cultivated. Ten acres can be cultlva'
ted more cheaply than twenty SO tne
problem with which farmers must no"
grapple is, "How can ten acres be pre-
pared, fertilized and cultivated SO as u
Weld as large harvests as twenty acres
did un der the old system? We nave
encouraged and stimulated hundreds o,
farmers to adopt the intensive plan Of
growing corn, for by that MEANS they
could not only produceit more cheaply
but greatly increase TIE yield. The!
have found from practical experience
that it pays to grow corn upon the IN
tensive plan. Now they should learl
to produce cotton-in fact, all crops
upon the same plan. Let US urge lar
mers not to make the mistake of In
creasing the cotton acreage simply De
cause they have found it profitable U
reduce the corn acreage: on the con
trary, let them diversity their farming
interests. Sow more wheat, more oats
| plant more peas and potatoes, max
more peavine hay, enlarge the pastur
and devote more time to raising hogs
colts and cattle. More attention glve1
to stock raising will not only bring di
rect returns in cash, but will increas
the supply of barnyard manure, whic
is so essential in restoring and increas
ing the fertility of the soil.
Tc hose who attempted to fall int
the error of increasing their cottol
crop in the proportion that, they hav
decreased their corn acreage, W
would say INTENSITY, then DIVER
SHY your farming interests.

PORTER INSPIRED
 ]. ). ROCKEFELLER

Cleveland, September 2S.-Following inc thankful celebration of John D. Rocke- feller on the Seth anniversary of getting his first and only job, comes the story of how Rockefeller was inspired to his financial career by porter in St. Louis store.I
 It was at the urging of Samuel Andrews, the porter, that Rockefeller engaged in the oil refining business, investing 5000, the whole of his fortune.
 MT. Rockefeller, having received an in crease in pay to s25 month at the end of his first year as bookkeeper for Hewitt & Futile in Cleveland. he decided that he could not make or save much money working for others. In order to get a chance he went to St. Louis. There in 1858 with $500 he had saved, he engaged in the commission business with Mr. Clark, an Englishman, forming he firm of Clark & Rockefeller. At the age of 30 he had accumulated s1000.
 It was then he met Andrews, the DOT ter, became interested in his stories and eventually in the oil refining business on the Mississippi river above St. Louis un- der the firm name of Andrews, Clark & Co. It was not long before MT. Rocke- feller began to broaden the business per sonalIy, one of his first moves being to gain an investment of $60,000 from Henry M. Flagler.

IMPROVED TONE
 SHOWN IN WHEAT
General Tendency of Stocks Reflected in Grain-Ad-
 vance at Close

Chicago, September 2S-Wheat today reflected the improved tone In stocks. In consequence, the market closed at an ad- vance of 1sc to s4c over last night. Corn finished Ac off to 9s@1ac up, oats un- changed to Sc higher, and provisions with a gain of 71ac to 20c.
 Removal of the disturbing influence of Wall street, allowed a variety of bull fish factors to help in lifting the price of wheat.
 The highest figures of the day were reached after news had been received of a frost scare in the Argentine. Pre- yjously rough weather in the northwest, particular Sakewatehewan, was a source of decided strength. Some sections of the Canadian wheat country were said to have had practically continuous rain or snow for three weeks. making worse condition than had been generally rec ognized.
 The Tripoli affair had tendency also to turn the market upward, especially as prominent houses in the Liverpool trade were alleged to have taken the buying side largely on that account.
 A. good deal of attention on the other hand was given to the fact that spring crop receipts were running heavy. New ertheless the session closed without any important backset, although the final tone was nervous.
 December ranged from 971sc to 9s1ac and in the end was 1zc net higher at 9SSc and in the end was 1sc net higher at 9Sls @ssAc
 In torn expected large deliveries weighed down the September option. The sparing nature of offerings from the country, however. gave aid to other fu- tu, es. December fluctuated from 63ssc to 64c. closing steady, ss@1ac net higher al 67@64c. Cash grades were in good de- mand. No. yellow was quoted at 6SAd eS1kc.
 Oats spectators who sold out yester' day were in many cases busy today re- ipstating their lines. Strength of other grain furnished the reason. High and low levels touched by December proved to be 4,1bc and 471sc, with the close the same as last night, Fssc.
 Shorts, evening up their outstanding trades, brought about an advance in pro visions. When the gong sounded porl, had risen 2Oc and other products 71ac tc 121a@15c.
