The demand for cotton this
year bv fourteen countries out
side the United States is placed
at twelve and a half million
bales; with an estimate of an
additional two million bales for
several countries not reporting,
including British Indi~This,
with the American consumption
places the :a1eeds Of the world
fer this year, as estimated at
Washington, at about twenty
million bales. The figures are
in some cases fairly accurate;
in others they are palpable
guesses. The general result
may be approximately correct.
Last Thursday. at the request
of an attendant on the Farmers
Union meeting in Columbia,
the editor of The State estimat-
ed the worlds needs for this
year at between nineteen and
twenty million bales, but on &C
count of conditions in China and
India it is impossible to do more
than roughly estimate until a
better system for securing in
formation in those countries i;
inaugurated.
But what good does it do us
to know that the mills of the
world need 100000 bales of
cotton to fill their orders this
year, unless we have approxi-
mately accurate information as
to the number Of bales India,
China, Manchuria, one or two
South American countries and
Egypt, have produced or will
produce; or unless we know
what percentage Of the goods
manufactured must be made in
American cotton?-The State.

To the Corn Club Bows,

We>had an interesting meet
ing last Saturday. Prof. G, B,
Haddon, of Clemson College,
was present and made an in
structive talk on how to select
seed corn. On account of the
weather some Of the boys had
not gathered their corn. The

willing to postpone the contest

unanimous in their consent to
postpone, They showed true
southern manhood, which is
worth more than big yields or
premiums. So everyone is ex-
pected to be present next Satur-
day at 2 o'clock p. m. with their

A company of Laurens county
capitalists, it is reported. haye
bought 1900 acres of land in
Chesterfield county with a view
of cutting it into smaller tracts
and selling to home-seekers
from the North and elsewhere,
This enterprising undertaking
is to be commended. We need
more settlers in this state and
smaller farms. There is plenty
of room in this county for home
seekers, and our people should
begin to make efforts to induce
home-builders to locate here.

Philippines and Freedom.

1--WE clip the following very in
teresting communication from
the Columbia State written by
Prof, We. Rector. Prof. Rector
was principal of the Six Mile
Baptist Academy last year and
resigned to accept a position as
teacher by appointment of the
United States Government in
the Philippine Islands. The
letter will be read with interest
by many of his friends here.
Editor of the State:
Much is being written and said
about. what the United States
should do with the Philippine
Islands: Many good men in the
States seem to think that these
Islands should Immediately be
given their independence and
allowed to establish a govern
ment of their own. After a
four-months stay in the Philip
pines, the writeris of the opinion
that the Filipinos are utterly in
capable of self-government.
The people are living on at least
800 islands which are scattered
for a 1000 miles through the
sea. The natives speak eight
distinct dialects. Often the
people on one side of the noun
tains can't make themselves
understood to the people on the
opposite side. No one of these
dialects can ever become a COM
mon language for all. Of
course English is being taught
to thousands of the younger
generation, and within a half
century, perhaps, English will
be used throughout the Islands.
Should the efforts Of the Ameri-
can teachers stop now, it is the
belief of many that the Spanish
would again become the official
language, and only a very small
per cent. of the people know
any Spanish. Most of the Fill
pinos are yet ignorant, but they
are making rapid strides along
educational lines.
The Filipinos know but little
of the value of unified effort.
They have very few organized
industries. Statistics show that
only 4 per cent. Of the COM
merce of the islands is carried
On by native Filipinos. The
rhinoso are the commercial men

many roads are being
ri wires are connecting
me important islands.
added to these disadvantages,
the resources of the islands are
undeveloped, consequently the
people are poor. Every effort is
being made to develop the agri-
cultural interests. The wealth
of the islands is locked up in
the soil. The bureau of educa-
tson makes it compulsory that
every school shall have a school
garden, and many Of the schools
in carpentry and woodwork.
In fact, the school emphases
now is being given to domestic
science and industrial work
The bureau thinks that the
people should learn to work az

write English.
The poverty of the people
would make it impossible fo.
them to support an army ant
navy of sufficient strength tx
protect the islands from foreign
foes that could use them to goo(
advantage in relieving the con
gested conditions at home. Can
the United States, in the name
of humanity and in the name
of freedom and liberty for which
it stands afford to withdraw it,

A Hog for Every Man.

When the census was taken in
1910 there were in South Caro-
lima 664.475 hogs and pigs, of
which 243, ,05S were classified as
spring pigs According to the
same census the number of
white .people in the state was
679,16 Thus it will be seen
that there are not enough hogs,
by 1857, to go around even
among the white people if each
person eat a hog a year. There
would be no sausage, spare-ribs
and backbone stew whatever

When the census of 1920 is
taken there should be at least
one hog each for every man,

tional Corn Show tee be held N
Columbia in 1913, will greatly
help to that end.-The State,
This should stimulate the peo-
pie of this county to engage
more actively in hog-raising.
This is a corn county, and hogs

and almost every family at least
can raise one. It beats buying
meat from the stores. Try it.
