ONE MAN KEsroNs,p1,.l1Y.

That stout-hearted foe OF iinpurity,
DIR. Harvey w. Wiley. whom Richmond
remembers SO pleasantly, has refused
the lucrative position OF chairman of
the Boston Health Board. lie did 1t
because his authority would he linn
tied and he might be overruled by the
two other members of the board
Wiley is for Capitalization OF power
in particular official and making him
alone responsible. He knew by bitter
experience what II Is TO have ones
hands tied by board; the memory of
MeCahe fingered with him still. and he
could not forget that lie was almost
powerless in his fight for pure food
and drugs because other members OF
the board checked him.
The tendency nowadays Is to the
Capitalization of power in one person.
Divided authority is detrimental to the
proper doing OF the Job. and when
cross purposes lie behind the work
suffers. II the principle OF centralized
authority had obtained in the Depart
ment OF Agriculture Wiley could have
performed his duty to the American
people unhlndered and undisturbed, and
the Taft administration would have
been free from ono of It's darkest blots.

We have seen 1t suggested that be-
hind the present rise in the price Of
cotton Is the same bull clique that was
some time ago trying to lend the far
mers $4,000, 600 for the purpose of
bulling prices. The object Of the
present movement, 1t is claimed, is to
stimulate increased acreage so as to
insure another record crop that will
depress prices right What the south
needs is not speculative prices for cot
ton, but stable prices, and the way to
get stable prices Is by means Of a
ia. e-owned warehouse system cover
ing the entire south, and perfected
whereby money can be
borrowed from abroad. Louisiana has
set the pace, South Carolina seems
about ready to follow, and there is a
probability that the next few years
may see the solution Of the great
problem.

BOYS, CORN CLUB.

The York County Boys Corn club
met In the opera house at Yorkville
yesterday, and Notwithstanding the
cold and rough weather and certain
unavoidable blanks in the programme,
there was good attendance. and the
proceedings were profitable. interest
ing and satisfactory.
The attendance included about one
hundred people from different parts
of the county, and included twenty
seven boys ready and eager to resume
the competition in which they have
already found so much pleasure and
profit. Mr.. O.. B. Martin, who has
general charge of the Boys Corn club
work, and who Is a most interesting
speaker on this subject, missed con-
nection at Chester, and failed to get
to Yorkville until after the meeting
adjourned, much to the disappoint-
district agent Of the farmers co-op-
erative demonstration work, was on
hand, and made an excellent address,
and there were talks by Miss Mary S.
Cromer, who has made herself famous
as an expert in tomato culture, and
Miss Leila A. Russell, county super
intendent of rural school improvement.
After that the specimens Of corn
brought by the boys were judged,
prizes were awarded. and the roll was
opened for the 1912 club, the question
of bottom land vs.. upland was set
tied, and the organization of the pig
club was put under way.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. John r. Blair, county demonstra-
ton agent, and Mr.. ]. Frank Ashe of
McConnellsville. served as chairman
throughout the proceedings.
Mr. Barton was the first speaker.
His subject was Soil Robbery and Soil
Conservation" He gave figures to show
that the population Of the country Is
increasing more rapidly than the pro-
duction Of food crops, and speculated
on the result fifty years from now.
He made II clear how over production
OF cotton can bring ruin not only up
on the farmers, but of the entire south.
and showed how II cotton production
is made to conform to the actual needs
of the people, the possibilities Of wealth
from this source are without limit.
On this premise he argued that the
sarily meant the increased production
of other crops. He made the state
ment that the seed from a bale of cot
ton was worth $3.50 and that the stalks
sufficient to make bale of cotton were
worth $12.30, and reasoned. that when
the seed and stalks both were removed
from land, the land was damaged on
this account alone to the amount of
5000 for each bale Of cotton produced.
AS a remedy he urged that seed should
rot be sold and stalks should not be
In addition he urged that
rotation and winter cover crops con-
stitute the remedy for depleted soils.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1912-02-06

Under a system calling for cotton one
year, corn another and small grain
another, he said, any land was bound
to get richer and richer, and then he
urged the necessity Of winter cover
crops, especially a mixture Of rye and
vetch, as being worth many times what
1t cost. Getting down to the corn
question, he held that there was abb
solutely no good reason why a York
county boy should not make as heavy
yield Of corn as had been made, but
at the same time he took occasion to
stress the point that the quantity Of
corn was not the whole thing. He said
that the boy who merely showed i'm
provement might accomplish more
actual good than the boy who secured
the largest yield. The thing, he said,
the all-important thing, was to pro-
duce the most corn at the least cost,
and that was the. end to which all the
boys should strive.
Miss Cromer made an interesting
and comprehensive talk about tomato
culture, and Miss Russell told what she
had been doing and what she was try
ing to do In connection with rural
school Improvement.
Upon a call for the enrolment of the
Corn club boys, the following boys
gave their names:

The influence Of the heavy cotton
sales, which included not less than
1000 bales at 10 cents last week, is
now being felt in all kinds of business,
and that influence Is most pleasing.
The burden Of Prof Barton's talk
to the Boys Corn club yesterday was
rotation and winter cover crops as a
means Of stopping the soil robbery
now going on, and a most sensible
talk 1t was.
There was exhibited at the corn club
meeting yesterday an ear Of corn, per-
feet in size and shape, with each sep
arate grain enveloped in shuck, just
as grains of wheat are enveloped in
chaff.

in the national war against Austria.
the whole country was in accord. All
classes, from the royal family down to
the poorest people, have their children
in the entertainments. Queen Elena
said: Il wish my son, Umberto, were
a dozen years old, to be able TO go to
the front" The Duchess d'Aosta, her
children too young to take part, went
herself as a nurse. The manifestations
of affection for the army and navy are
many. A woman sent rosette formed
of the Italian tri-color to the colonel
of a regiment, with an apology because
it had faded, and adding, Il made 1t
with the remains of the tri-color with
which my grandmother, when l was
child, made rosettes for the soldiers
Of the independence, risking her head.
May this same ribbon make you VIC
torious" The devotion Of the peasants
is even more moving. A woman Of
the Abruzzi sent to her son. who is
a sharpshooter and served bravely un-
der General Fara, two bologna sau-
sages, writing in poor Italian, "One
Is for you and the other for your gen.
eral. He has deserved 1t also"

We are reproducing elsewhere
part Of a letter that Senator Appelt of
Clarendon, wrote last week to his pa
per, the Manning Times, Of which he
is editor. Our object in reproducing
the letter is because Senator-Editor
Appelt has been a long time in public
life, and has had enough experience
to enable him to look at two sides Of
most situations. In politics Mr.. APP
pelt has always been an anti-prehibi-
Zionist. That Is our recollection and
Our impression also
is that he supported Mcleod in the
first primary Of two years ago and
Blease In the second. II we are mis-
taken in either proposition we will be
pleased 10 make correction on the
matter being called to our attention.
Now, however this may be, there is a
good deal of sense in what Senator
Appelt says. 1t is not pleasant, but
then it is a fact. There are many
people who intuitively seek to deny
such facts as happen to be unpleas-
ant: but that never changes the facts.
There are things in Mr.. Appelt's let
ter that we do not care to challenge;
but we submit that he Is not very
well qualified to speak for the Prohi-
bitionists or the whilom Featherstone
crowd. Before anything else the fol-
lowers of Featherstone stood for good
government. Prohibition was a lead
ing principle:' but it was not all in all
by any means. The expression, for
instance. should he (Rlease) be de-
feated. the legislature will be domi-
mated by Judge Jones. who is backed
by those whose policies are advocated
by the Columbia State, and the Pro-
addition element" is not warranted by
the facts. AS to harmony between
Judge Jones and the Columbia State,
we have no dispute. Judge Jones
says he is for county local option, and
strict enforcement of the law accord
ing to the wishes of the majority. He
and the State are together on that,
except that the Columbia State Is on
the whisky side of the option PROPOSE
ton, just as is Senator Appelt. But
not so with the Prohibitionists. They
had no part with the Columbia State
in the last campaign until after the first
primary, when the Columbia State
aligned itself on their side, not in favor
of their principles: but solely and en-
tirely as against Blease. Most Pro-
hibitiOnistS. we think, understand that
situation thoroughly, and we do not
believe that as such they are now call
ed upon TO rally behind the Columbia
State and Judge Jones, or either Of
them. AS we see the matter now, We
do not think that the Frohibitionists
have any particular interest in the
fight. There is very little i'm sight for
them up to this time except the priv
ilege Of choosing between factions.
neither of which offers any special at
fractions. And according to our way
of looking at it, unless there is
change in the status, as Mr.. Applet
sees proper to describe 1t. there are
thousands Of Prohibitionists who are
as likely to vote for Blease or Jones
as they are to scratch both Of them.
