Why Live Lean 0nPoorL Land or Grind Away Your Life in the City When a lO or 20 Acre Farm in South Sumter County Will Make You independent?

We give you the choice of ten farms-six of ten acres each and four of twenty acres each, one half to three miles from York. on the line of the A. T. & N Railroad. These farms have been carefully selected for inme- dlate sale to bona fide settlers. Spectators will not be allowed to take advantage of the extraordinarily low price--about half the ac- tual market value-and easy terms which we have made on this limited number of two crop farms
 The soil is the same as that in the marvel ously productive farms at Mcconnell and at other points on our property near York, where the first crop of snap beans English peas. Irish potatoes and other early vegetables paws the expenses of the farmer, including the liv- Ing of his family, and the second crop of corn or cotton-S0 to 125 bushels of corn and a bale to two bales of cotton per acre-are clear profit to him. Magnificent crops of sweet po tatoes and ribbon cane can also be grown and from the same kind of land one grower last year shipped $21,000 worth of strawberries. Stories of the success and prosperity of farm CTS In this favored belt would stagger belief

QUESTIONS.

The first thing we shall notice,
and speak offs, you Mr.. Mouiton
speaking Of our opposition to
president Taft on the accoHnt of
him appointing a Catholic !" as
Chief Justice. We oppose him
on ,het account for the same
reason thai ranseu General

language in time of battle. Put
none but 10, al Americans on
guard tonight. General Wash.
inyton was an American and a
Mason. We were a Catholic for
thirty years we know their doc.
trine and their object, by heart.
We had the pope as a guardian
as long as we cared to have him
and when a Catholic is appoint.
ed to the supreme bench for
life, he is then tie supreme pow
er Of his subjects The same as
the pope over bis.
You will see NY reasons are
sood, as long as we lave no re-
call. AS for Roosevelt drinking
toast to this same Judge, we
must plead our ignorance on
that point. Although we know
nothing about Roosevelt doing
that: II he did we give him
no credit for that. And fur.
ther say that if Roosevelt ap-
pointed catholic as one Of his
cabinet officers. We give him
no credit for that, because cath
olicism is foreign to our Ameri.
can liberties. This we presume,
that Roosevelt did not know, at
that tiue. For all protestantis IN

pies Of the two parties or the two
men that we are advocating.
And wish 10 say that we have
said nothiL e against Taft, except
az we said it on the princip lis Of
recall, and Catholicism. We be-
lieve with Roosevelt, In a recall,
TAFT ard Catholicism does not.
Catholicism is Monarchal and
are faren unto American Liber.
ties. And when ever a Catholic
is appointed to the Chair Of sup.
remecy for life, that far you
have a monarchal government.
And it matters not whether it ls
Roosevelt or Taft that places
them there. 1t is true that
Rooseyelt's mind has progressed
into the vast field OF Liberty be
yond all his competitors. for
this reason we say he is the
most competent man in the
field for President of those Tn
ite6 States, at the present
crises which we believe is aim st
upon the people. And rext to
Roosevelt in our judgement
stands Debs. This is saying
nothing against the others who
are in the field as men. For we
do not believe in trying to elect
any man on the dement's of some
one else. 1t is the principals
that we advocate.
And If Roosevelt said he would
like to see u Catholic or Jew cleo
ted President, he has progress
ed from that old dark rut. And
is now on the side OF light and
Liberty. We trust that the
questioner may see tho truth
of our arguments which is not
the man of the past it is the pre-.
sent manrand his principals now.
And you apd | must be the judge
whether OF know a recall is the
best for us or no recall. Taft
sais no recall and Roosevelt say
4 recall even to the President.
Ard a recall is the best for the
intire people, No recall puts the
people under a gar.1een, and a re
call says the people shall be their
own garden. And under the pre-
uressive platform the people ruls
and under the stand pat platform
