THE NEW DAY IN IRELAND.

The dspOpulat!on or Ireland. which has been going on since lS+l. appears at last to have met a decided check. The British decennidl census of this year shows d population for this island of 4,3Sl.951, which is only 76. S34 under the figure of ten years ago This is much the smallest nss that the island has suffered in any decade from the seventy years ago when famine swept away thousands of the people and q great emigration began which still continues. but in steadily declining volume. Compared with the loss of 76s24 in the past ten years, Ireland lost, besides it's natural population Ancrcase. some 246.O00 between 1891 and 1901. 470.- OO0 in the previous decade 237.540 from 1871 to 1881. 3S6,00O from 1861 to 1871. 153.S2l from 1851 to 1861, and no less than l.622,74o from lS4l to lS5l-much of this last heinz due to starvation from the failure of the crops The island now has population less by. 3.OOO.OOO than it had in 1891. and less by 3s00.0OO than in ls4l. when the high record was established. and the latter fig ure just about measures the volume of emigration. chiefly to the United States since 1853.
 This long suffering country is evi- dently at last falling upon better days The land purchase acts of re- cent years. on the basis of govern ment assistance. are doing much for the regeneration of the land, and the great cooperative production and distribution undertakings under the leadership of Sir Horace Pnnkett are proving exceedingly effective for agricultural improvement and econ Omy in distribution. Ireland is now taking to itself n large share of the English markets for dairy products. eggs and poultry. Experiments in tobacco culture are giving most prom ising results. There is also a note worthy revival Of the fisheries indus tries. with Londonderry as it's cen- ter Ii is a new industrial era which has set in and we may fairly be- lieve it will not he long in reducing the emigration below the natural rate of population increase and starting the figures in the other direction. There is no good reason why so fer tile land as Ireland should have a population density so low as l35 to- the square mile. as is now the case Springfield. Mass, Republican.

AS To Corn Growing.

While We are talking about this
corn championship we want to rise
to ask again the unanswered ques-
ton why do not the farmers all over
the country make use of the same
means Of cultivation of corn that the
boys who win these prizes? We
can see no use of walking a mule
and a man to death to make a small
yield OF corn on a large number of
acres by the old plans when a great
er amount can be made on n very
much smaller acreage, and not work
ing man and mule into the grave
Jerry Moore tells us that the corn
he made on his prize acre cost less
than the other corn made on the plan
alton. but the plantation is still run
on the same old extensive plan. and
999 out of 1000 plantations in the
state are run in the same way and
we are willing to bet that the Nc
Donald plantation will be run on the
same plan next year, though IL may
be seen that the corn made on this
acre, If IT were multiplied by two or
three, would be all that was wanted
and corn that costs 33 1-3 cents n
buhel and sells for 81. or even less
looks like mighty good profit to us.
We want to see that farmers eX-
change established in this county,
and then there would be more of
all this sort of thing raised. and the
farmers would be better and the
whole people would be better Off
Florence Times.

Liverpool came in poor this morn

will be apparently bullish. The move
ment Is smaller on account of bad
weather and small holiday shipments,
while mill takings will be large owing
to heavy forwardings via the Pacific
coast, being too early to feel the dis
turbing effect of the Lancashire
strike. We compare with $4,000
takings for the week last year and
26S,OO0 in 1908 the into sight for
week looks around 100000 VS.. 1885,
600 last year and 42S,OOO in 1908.
We had a very narrow but steady
market this morning. Feeling is bear

the systematic support in New York
which has been SO consp;cucts lately.
This buying is variously Interpreted.

for the season and, as interests are
large, it requires one cent to turn

the bad weather in this period.

dates In The field for the position now
held by Mr.. Tillman. for United
States Senator. The successor to
Mr.. Tillman will have to be elected
next year; but, he says that he can
go back to Washington easily. Mr..
Talbert does not think he can, and as
he says In an interview on the sub.
ject which Is given below, he is in
the race till the votes are counted.
Mr.. Talbert has been very quiet
about his candidacy. refusing to be
interviewed. saying that when the
time came he would announce his
platform. AS there seems to be So
much interest in the race. your cor
respondent ventured to get from Mr..
Talbert something about his position.
but the effort has been only partially
successful.
Your correspondent stated to Col.
Talbert that some people expressed
doubt as to his being a candidate
for the United States Senate next year
and asked him the direct question II
1t was positive fact that he would
be a candidate for Senator In the COM
ing primary. He replied:

the platform Of principles on which
he would run. he replied:

amply answers that questions. I am
no stranger to the people Of South
Carolina. and they already know my
upon all questions regard
ing the common welfare of the coun-
try. or course. at the proper time

see that In recent interview
Senator Tillman says he has given
his opponent no thought. What
about that?
II have nevertheless given him
more courtesy than that by giving
him some thought; and propose,
when the time comes. to give the
people the result Of my cogitatiOns
along that line and then leave the
