ROBERT 7. WILLIAMS is
FARMER OF new SCHOOL
The Success of a Sumter
County Farmer

The Times-Recordar several days
ago told the story of success achiev-
ed by Mr.. Robert S. Williams, a Sum
ter county farmer and one of progress
sive ideas. An "insurgent" against the
old method of buying all the supplies
he consumed.
Sumter county has many such far
mers as Bob" Williams; people who
literally live at home" and keep their
smokehouses and barns upon their
farms.
The Atlanta Constitution reproduce
ed the Times-Recorder's story, and
yesterday made the following editor
ial comment upon it:
Robert S. Williams, a farmer Of
Sumter county, is an agricultural in
surgent
That is to say, he is in revolt
against the old stand-pat system, still
followed by a majority of Southern
farmers, whereby they mortgage the
cotton crop to pay for the meat to
raise it.
1T pays Mr. Williams to be an ia
surgent.'
ALREADY he has sold this season for
cash 5000 worth of ham and bacon
in the open market at Americas.
THAT is fairly good for a starter.
But he has also sold enough sy-
'rup, butter and eggs to pay the ex-
penses of his family for the rest of
the year.
His smokehouses still bulge with
meat for his own use. His hens and
chickens are still on the job pro-
ducing supplies for his own table and
for the profitable market in Ameri-
Gus
"All this means that the money Mr.
Williams received for his pork is
largely velvet. This is not to be
/ Eeckoned with whatever cotton he
/ NuOSC " IdiSe, OF me OJuGG crops
which flourish on a South Georgia
plantation
This is the 'Lve-at-home' policy
carried to the tenth power.
1T means freedom from debt. II
means a bountiful table the year
around. 1t means a perpetual bal.
ance in the bank, good clothes, luxu,
ries, educational and other facilities
for the family.
'The Georgia farmer who conducts
his affairs upon this basis can, il
these days of rural phone and ru
raj free delivery, live about as comfor.
tably in the country and infinitely
more cheaply than in the city.
THE chances of his having to face
the problem of a home abandoned
by restless and dissatisfied childreI
are minimized.
1T would pay every farmer in Geor
gia to be an insurgent of this sort
a rampant one"

One of the very largest and love-
liest parties of the season was the
one given on Tuesday afternoon ny
Misses Callie and Mamie Sue Bell II

BLOND GIRS MAKE
SKIILFUL ATHLETES
Make Good Showing in Basketball
Games.

Pittsburg, Pa, February 23.-For
the first time in history a basketball
team of blind girls played a contest
against girls with good eyesight al
the Western Pennsylvania School fo1
the Blind this morning. Depending on
their sense of location, the blind girls
threw the ball into the basket four
times, scoring eight points, while they
held their opponents down to twenty
points.
The well drilled team of the Indian
State Normal School were the blind
girls opponents. One girl, totally
blind, the sense of touch and the I'M
Outstanding of her position on the
floor with reference to the cage, threw
the goals. Three of the girls of the
team are totally blind, and the other
two can barely see light from dark
ness The Normal school girls wore
long crismon bows at their throats
to enable the blind girls to see" them
during the game.
The blind girls have trained Them
selves to recognize the footsteps Of
their teammates.

Pension Bill Introduced

The latest pension bill intro
duced in congress is one by Rep
resentative Berger, the socialist
member from Milwaukee. 1t is
referred to as the old age pen
sion bill and provides that all
persons in the United Slater who
are over 60 years of age and who
have been citizens for at least 16
years, come under it's provisions.
The amount of the pension varies
from 81 to 81 per week according
to the income of the beneficiary.
One provision in the bill pro-
vides that the supreme court of
the United States shall not have
power to pass upon the constitu-
of the measure.

Grain Bags are High

The prices and scarcity of
grain bags is becoming a greater
question every day. While the
price originally was around 5 IL
to 6 cents there have been several
increases until now the bags are
selling at 8 cents, and it is ex-
pected that 10 cents will be the
next jump. Even at this high
price it is feared that many
ranchers will have trouble in
securing the required number of
bags.
The grain bag question has
been a vexing one ever since the
wheat in the Pacific northwest,
and now the whole question
probably will be reopened. The
last three years there has been
little said for the reason that the
crop has been light and the price
low. Last year, for instance,
some of the farmers unions
bought more than they needed.
Then the trust came in and sold
for lower than the farmers paid.
Then many resolved they would
wait until they could buy cheaper
from the trust. +" But this year
there is a demand for many bags
and the trust" has put prices
up. -Spokesman-ReVieW.

First Through Canal

Some United States naval ves-
sci whose history is hallowed by
sentiment probably will open the
Panama canal at the head of a
pageant of the navies of the
world. AS the completion of the
great ditch draws nearer, the
navy department is being bonn
barded by suggestions from
nearly every quarter of the
country. Many expressly refer
to the old sailing man-of-war,
Portsmouth, the defender of the
Pacific coast during the war be-
tween the United States and
Mexico.
The Portsmouth raised the
stars and stripes at Yerba Beuna,
now San Francisco, and rendered
other notable service. She is now
being prepared to replace the
jamestown in Hampton Roads,
Va, as a quarantine ship, but
congress is considering an appro-
priation of S25, 900 to fit her out
for the trip to the Pacific.
1t has also been suggested that
the Oregon be the first ship to
ply the canal in recognition of
her famous trip around the con-
tinent at the outbreak of the war
with Spain.

Investigating Shipping
Possibilities of Roman

The Great Northern railroad
must have designs upon this Sec
tion of the Mission valley, judg
ing by the way things have been
going during the past week. In
the first place, President Louis
Hill makes a hurried trip from
one end of the valley to the
other, at all times keeping his
business eye open for indications
and asking questions of each and
every one whom he might think
could give him information on
shipping conditions, and the next
thing we know along comes the
Montana travelling freight and
passenger agent who stays in
Roman three days and travels in
every direction from town to see
first hand just what is here to pe
shipped out. Mr.. Herman, the
lost named official of the Great
Northern operating department,
was here ty satisfy himself, and
at the express orders of Presi-
dent Hill, to investigate the ship
ping possibilities of Roman. He
was asked to get data on what
the farmer has to send out, and
also to get some information on
the timber and lumber produc-
tion, and possibilities in this in
dustry for the future. Mr.. Her.
man has performed his mission
in creditable manner. He was
whisked here and yon in autos
and covered the territory in every
way from Roman. He saw thous-
ands of acres of the best grain
crop to be found in Montana, he
saw millions upon millions of feet
of standing timber, ready for the
enterprising man of means to
enter the forest and make COM
mercial lumber which will sup
DIV tonnage for a railroad for
years to come.
Then he saw many thousands
of acres Of the best fruit lands in
the whole inter- mountain coun-
try, awaiting only the possibility
of securing the same by the hor-
ticulturalist who will plant the
orchards which in a few years
will be shipping by railroad, train
after train of the famous red ap-
Piles so much sought by eastern
people. This industry alone will
furnish field for a railroad
within a few years of sufficient
Importance to warrant building
the line through the Mission VAL
ley.
While the Pioneer knows ex-
actly what Mr.. Herman saw, it
cannot say just what his report
will be nor whether railroad
will be built, but this paper can
say, and say it truthfully, that
Mr.. Herman said to represent
ative of the Pioneer just before
he left town, that his report
would not injure us, and also that
it was only question of a short
time before the road would be
built. Should the people along
the route show a disposition to
meet the company part way in
the matter of right of way, etc.,
the time would be shorter than
