Will Surprise Many.

The Augusta Herald finds much
suggestiveness in the fact that be-
tween 1900 and 1910 the number of
farms in South Carolina increased by
2e.525 and that of this increase con-
sideraly more than half of them are
owned by negroes. The mere state
ment 'of the fact that more negroes
than whites in South Carolina in the
past ten years has become owners Of
farms will surprise many persons in
this State as well as out of it. But
sucb is the fact as revealed BY the
last census.
|" The Herald comments upon the
fact that the reduction in the size of
the farms incidental upon the In
crease in their number cannot but
make for closer and more productive
cultivation. The Herald says the
same thing to greater or less ex-
tent to be observed throught the
entire South, and the phenomenon
gives great encouragement to those
who believe that the South's greatest
material development can be brought
about only when its agricultural
methods become truly intensive.
The Charlotte Oserver, important
as this phase of the figures are, be-
lieves there is even greater signifi-
canoe in the number Of colored own
ers of farms, and says "the negro
who cultivates his own land has CIV
en- the surest kind of a hostage to
good citizenship. AS day laborer
or as a tenant on shares his interest
in the community's welfare is often
less strong than his natural impulse
to occasional misbehavior. Let him
acquire a few acres of his own and
not only will his conduct be circum-
spect but his influence with his fel-
lows will usually be found on the
side of orderiness and industry"

On the Right Line.

CONGRESSMAN Lever has introduc-
ed bill which the Farmers Union
Sun thinks will prove of practical
benefit to the farmer. The Sun points
out that while the general govern
ment, has spent large sums Of money
in demonstration work, the aim OF
which is to teach. scientific farming.
it as been felt that. something was
lacking, and Congressman Levers
bill is intended to fill this wide gap.
The great majority of farmers,
whose lives are more or less lso-
lated, have been unable to avail
themselves to the degree desirable OF
the opportunities and advantages Of
fered by these scientific demonstra-
tions. Some sort of practical lnfor-
nation on subjects connected with
agriculture was therefore needed to
bridge the chasm between the scien-
tific expositor Of agricultural
knowledge and the plain, everyday
farmer at his own house.
The purpose Of Mr. Levers bill
says the Sun, is to do this very thing.
Without going into the body Of the
bill, it will be sufficient to give only
it's title to show plainly Mr.. Levers
intent 1t is entitled bill, "To es-
tablish agricultural extension de-
partments in connection with the ag-
.ricultural colleges and experiment
stations in the several state receiv-
ing the benefits of an act Of Congress
approved March 2, 1887" The pas
sage of the bill, it is claimed, will
result in such progress along agricul-
turaI lines as the country has never
yet seen.

The South's Supremacy in Cotton.

The New York World says the
purchase of 5000 acres of Missis-
sippi cotton lands by Holland SYN
dicate in Connection with the previous
acquisition of $4,000 acres by Lam
cashire milling interests, is an in
ternational trade symptom of great
interest. 1t indicates a recognition
by British and Continental maufac-
turers of the futility Of their efforts
20 become independent Of the Ameri-
can supply by fostering cotton grow
ing in Africa and the East. King Cot
tons throne is in the South. The
Southern States in 1910 produced TO-
651, 900 bales of cotton, as against
product of 2,471, 900 BY the East
Indies and all the rest Of the world.
Mississippi's crop in normal year
exceeds in amount all the cotton
grown in India and would alone sup
ply half of British needs. The in
vestment Of British and Dutch capi-
tai in Mississippi cotton lands should
further increase production and 9TH
erwise enrich the State.

have not questioned the integrity or
impugned the motives of majority
of the board. because positive proof
of improper influences can not be
adduced." This reads very much
like the superintendent Of Education
thinks that there was improper In

proof he will not question the integ-
rity or impugn the motive Of a ma
jority of the board Each man on

COMPLEXION LOTION
MAKES ROSY CHEEKS

woman who desires rosy cheeks does
the worst thing imaginable by trying
to color them with powder or rouge.
Everyone notices that painted look
and it is only q question of time when
her face will be rough, sallow-looking
and beset with large, dirt-collecting
pores.
AN inexpensive lotion made by dis
solving four ounces spurmax in one
half pint hot water with two tea
spoonfuls glycerine added. is far bet
ter than powder or any other COM
plexion beautifier This lotion does
not show like powder and gives the
skin a clear, clean. wholesome look
that lasts much longer than when
powder is used II removes the shiny
oily, sallow look and leaves the skin
smooth, rosy and fresh looking"
