on the way. It pulled only the harrow,
but could have pulled several tons more.
1t was put to work breaking up an old
corn field at once; which 1t did to perfec-
ton, the twenty disks cutting deep into
the soil and leaving a soft, smooth surface
ten feet wide as it passed round and round
the field. It takes only n man to run 1t.
The fuel used is ~gasolene.
The Wilburs bought this traction engine
as a matter Of economy and to save their

just beyond the Wilbur residence. The
oats are not so thick a. they might have
been If sown, but they are tall and have
large, full heads, and growing thick in the
oats is q splendid crop Of vetch, now In
full bloom. The oats and vetch will make
about two tons Of the very best hay to the
acre and will be ready for cutting next
week.
1t is worth any mans while to go out
to the Wilbur farm, three miles northwest
of Newberry, and see what can be done:by
improved methods. .&

Farmers Union Bureau.
To the Officers and Members Of the Far
mers' Union Bureau !:

To the Officers and Members Of the Far
mers' Union Bureau :
One of the evils menacing America today,
and least understood in its seriousness, Is
that Of indiscriminate immigration. AS it
Is, the country is full enough of Indifferent
citizens. Yet through Ellis Island, and
other entry ports, we continue each year
to pile up an accumulation OF diverse
nationalities that never can or will be as
simulated by our people. To restrict the
laws, and construct sensible barriers Is the
task to which weIshould address ourselves,
and no class is more directly interested in
it than the farmer.
1 have no sympathy with the old know
nothing" contingent in America, which
used to pride itself on the slogan. America
for Americans only" and excuse ignorance
Of sloth on the fimsy pretext of patriotism
Neither would I put an infe1ible embargo
upon entrance into this country. Ever
since we set up in business as a republic,
America has been an asylum for the op'
pressed Of all lands. They have looked
toward the Statue Of Liberty as symbolic
ing all that is good and hopeful and invit-
ing to those who failed, from some cause,
to secure a Square deal" in their own
countries.
But I do recognize that we have a de-
finite duty to perform not only to the pres
emit generation, but equally to those who
are to follow us. If we allow ignorant,
unfit, diseased immigrants, DR. those with
no respect for u institutions and with
inability to assimilate our ideals-to come
in without let or challenge and to occupy
the land like q swarm of ~locusts, we shall
be working poorly for the Americans Of
tomorrow.
America has been called the m%elting-pot
Of the world, In that it receives into it's
capacious spaces hordes from almost every
nation, melting them into q common sub
stance and turning them out Americans.
But industrial troubles-cropping out IN
the farms as we'll as in the great labor
centers-warn us that there's such a thing
as oyercrowding the melting pot, such a
thing as throwing into it ingredients that
will not mix with the best and most endur-
ing elements Of American citizenship.
The farmers, by keeping in touch de-
terminedly with their congressman, can
exert a beneficial influence in producing
the right kind Of immigration. We do not
wish to be harsh, bigoted or intolerant.
But we are under no obligations to accept
the refuse Of other nations and the first
instinct with republics, as with individuals,
Is that Of self-preservation.

4 BATTLE ROYAL
WAS BALL GAME
Many Brilliant Features-Inter-
ested Spectators.
CANDIDATES nine WAS SUCCESSFUL.
Some Brilliant Uniforms Were
on DiSplay-Final Score
II to 10.

What boots it if Ty Cobb has gone on
strike What matters it if the whole De-
troit team should forever refuse to again
appear on the diamond? If Manager Jen.
nings only knew it, he could soon fill up
his ranks from the talent which is so plen-
tiful but is being so sadly neglected in
these parts.
All of which may be very startling when
first related, but is merely by way OF an
nouncing that a game Of baseball was per-
petrated last Wednesday IN the Abbeville
diamond by and between a nine composed
mainly of candidates for office and one re
cruited from the ranks of Miss Maggie
Brooks boarders.
The Boarders put forth a gallant effort
to secure an overwhelming victory, and
had it not been for timely reinforcements
they would no doubt have been successful.
When the smoke Of battle had cleared and
the wounded had been removed from the
scene OF carnage it vas found that the
candidates, by a score OF IL to 10, had turn
ed g seeming defeat into an assured vic
tory.
Judge r. E. Hill, in a fair and impartial
marner, from a vantage point in the con-
ming tower, overlooked the decks n saw
to it that the rules of civilized warfare were
enforced to the letter. There were no ap-
peals from his enlightened decisions.
The most striking feature of the game
was the delicately ornate costume in which
the Hon. J. F. Bradley appeared. His I'M
form was q masterpiece Of sartOrial art,
and was the creation Of a famous Paris
tailor, who produced it for the occasion
with the aid of a circular saw and express
ed it to this countryi in two ships.
The piece de resistance Of this unique de-
sign was a brilliant-colored Tan O'Shanta.
Mr.. Bradley's hosiery was designed espet-
tally to prevent an attack Of cold feet, but
failed utterly IL their mission. Early in
the battle this valiant leader was retired,
MORALLY wounded, but only after render
ing gallant and effective service.
Another feature worthy Of note was the
nimble manner in which the Hon. Richard
Sondley managed to elude the deadly shots
hurled at his station by the fearless enc
my. He also was severely wounded in the
knee in an effort to stop a missile from the
enemy's gun. His work would no doubt
nave been more effective had he been pro-
vided with a net, a hamper basket or some
such aid.
Mr.. Gilbert showed sprinting abilities
that may stand him in good.stead in his
race for the legislature.
Mr.. Long rendered very efficient service
as runner, many of his shots taking dead
Iy effect on the enemy's starboard quarter.
Many others on both sides distinguished
themselves, but space forbids mention of
them all.
The game was quite interesting through
out and greatly enjoyed by those present.
The proceeds We're for the benefit Of the
Daughters Of the Confederacy.

is PROGRESS
SIVE FARMING
Newberry Observer.

Messrs. WEIGH and Joe Wilbur, among
the progressive farmers Of Newberry
county, have taken a step forward in i'm
proved agriculture. Their farm has been
noted for several years as one of the best
cultivated. Last year the vetch and other
cover crops were the admiration of hun
dreds of farmers who went from every
section Of the county to see their farm.
On Friday they carried out to their farm
from Newberry a 2O-horse-power engine
and harrow, and other machinery con-
nected with them, made by the Inter-
national Harvester company and sold by
the MINER Wise Stock company Of this
place. The engine weighs $1,000 pounds
andit is wheels have a tread Of two feet
and it Is ten feet from the outside Of one
to the outside Of the other. The engine
made the trip from Newberry to the farm ,
by way of Nance street and its extension,
climbing the hills without trouble and 60
ing through two. or three pretty bad places
