one advanced by Mrs. Chamberlain, to
wit FARM IMPROVEMENT

The best way know of on earth for
the farmer to improve his conditions is
by the Improvement Of his land.
Hence approve of Mrs. Chamber
lain's idea, to organize a County Farm
improvement Association. If this can
be effected, then l believe it would be
possible to employ an agricultural ex-
pert to come to our County and tell us
how to build up our worn out soil in a
scientific way. 1 am interested in
farming not only directly, but indirectly
also.
Because as everyone knows, ours is
an agricultural County and the welfare
of all is more or less dependent upon
the prosperity of the farmer. would
like to have the public spirited farmers
of the County give their views on these
matters.
Very respectfully,
Jesse r. Eskridge.

County Farm Improve
ment Must Come.

Hardinsburg KY, May 4th, 1913.
Editor Breckenridge News:
/ was very favorably
impressed by an article appearing in the
columns Of your paper recently from
the pen of Mrs. Chas. L. Chamberlain,
of Irvington.
Mrs. Chamberlain Is advocating the
organization of a County Farm Improv-
ement Association. 1t goes without
saying that such an organization is
badly needed in Breckenridge County.
The American People have been guilty
of sinful waste of the great natural
wealth and resources Of our Country.
We read that in the middle of the
last Century countless numbers Of Buf.
faloes roamed over our western plains,
and that traveller in those sections.
would see their oarcases dotting the
plains in every direction, having been
shot down for their hides, to make buff
faloe robes, or worse still to crafty
the so called sporting proclivities of
man.
This slaughter assumed such proper
tions that the government undertook
to stop it. but not until the American
Bison was all but extinct.
AS the buffalo was exterminated, so
the forests of our section of the Country
have been laid low People of my age
can well remember when Breckenridge
county was clothed with forests of the
finest popular, white oak, walnut,
chestnut and other valuable timber.
The Cincinnati Cooperage Company
made the first onslaught, and exhausted
whole tracts of matchless white oak to
make slaves for whiskey barrels and
beer kegs. Then came the tie men,
aud after all of them had made their
onslaughts, the timber disappeared.
can well remember myself when it
was customary in different neighbor-
hoods to have what was termed "log
rollings' A man would clear up a
tract of land and then invite the neigh
bors to core in and help roll the logs
into heaps.
When this was accomplished, the
torch was applied, and thus millions of
feet OF the finest timber a crow ever
few over went up in smoke. But the
destruction unfortunately did not stop
with the timber, As soon as the tim
Der was removed, the land from which
it was cut, was worn out with corn and
tobacco, and then another tract was
cleared up and "corned,, until it was
turned out as to poor to raise a crop.
This sort Of thing has been, or was,
carried on in this state until thousands
Of acres of once fertile soil have been
worn out, and are now grown up in
broom sage and sassafrass bushes.
The whole system of farming in
Breckenridge county has got to be rev.
The farmer can no longer |
go out and clear up ten or twelve acres
Of timber land. He must improve what |
he has, and reclaim what has been ex- |
nausted.
Besides this the farmer must get pro-
gressive and keep step with the age.
A man does not resort to Demagogusry
when he announces that the farmers as
, class do not get a square deal; but at
he same time ne must say that this is
argely the fault of the farmer himself.
Instead of standing together the farmers
II the state have been at cross purposes
IN most every proposition, and are
lighting each other.
AS long as this exists they cannot
better their condition. Besides the idea
hat appeals to me most strongly is the

Then what Jakes place again2
The Governor soon pardons this
criminal and he is sent back
home to brag and boast about
what he has done and he thinks
the whole community is afraid
OF him. He seems to think he
has done an honor.
What impression does this
have on some one else, especially
the rising generations They
will say, so and so killed a
man and he got out Of it. I can
do the same"
Now. where does the thing
stop? What does the old Moses
law say? An eye for an eye
and q tooth for a TOOTH" That
is a divine injunction we should
adhere to strictly.
OF course twelve jurors are
sworn to go according to law
and evidence when chosen on
murder trial, but it behooves
them to be very discreet as to
the character of the murderer
and to his veracity and likewise
to the witnesses.
Human life has got to be too
cheap. 1t seems to us that we
are living in a dangerous state.
AS stated above, with shrewd
lawyers and a pardoning power
the law breaker is not afraid.
Something will have to be done
to check the tide or we had bet
ter move to another state. wei
hope the editor of every paper
and every preacher that occu-
pies a pulpit in this State and
all correspondents to papers will
take this important matter up
and try to educate the lawless
to obey the law and to teach
those who have the execution
OF the law in their hands the inn
portance of enforcing the law.

respondents on this question.

Citizen Writes ON
Important Question

Mr.. Editor: Will you please
allow US space in your paper to
discuss very important ques-
tion-a question that pertains
to the life of, and involves the
property Of every citizen Of the
State Of South Carolina.
First, we want to ask the
questions, Are we living in a
civilized State? Have we any
laws9 If SO, why are the laws
not enforced?
We are taxed to defray the
expenses of men to 90 to Colum-
bia to make laws for the State
of South Carolina in order that
our lives and property may be
protected, and we are then
again taxed to pay sheriffs,
magistrates and magistrates
constables to have these laws
enforced.
What is the result? A low
down kind of a man who doesn't
care for himself or anyone else
will get about half drunk, light
a cigarette, put q deck of cards
or a set Of dice in one pocket
and cheap pistol in another,
and start out to take the thing
in. The first man he meets whe
looks cross-eyed at him, he Jerks
out that little cheap pistoi and
what is the result? The life of
a poor, innocent man is taken
with maybe not time to ask God
one time to have mercy on his
soul, saying nothing about may
be poor woman and a gang of
little fatherless children who are
left with no one to look to for
support.
What is the outcome of this
murder2 Because we have
shrewd lawyers who are work
! ing for the money of course, re-
gardless of the future welfare of
this dead man or his family.
their services are sought at once.
He begins to work of course for
his client and maybe secures q
whole lot Of affidavits from par
ties who are pals" to the mur-
derer and who disregard law
and order as much or more than
the one who committed the
crime. What is the result?

derer is either turned loose or

That the officials and road engi-

be questioned. Such a move

leave every dollar spent in the

The assertion that county
bonds must be marketed through
heavy discounts and brokerage, !
and that less than half of their
value would be realized by the
county is not warranted by facts
nor supported by conditions in
any county where the money is
to be invested in substantial
and permanent improvements.
The limitations of law make
county bonds uilt-edge. They
are not only good but no safer,
dividend yielding securities are
offered investors. We are in
formed by a leading attorney of
this town, that the law requires
such bonds to bring their face
