GROWING WHEAT IN SUMTER

No better object lesson has been
placed before the farmers of Sumter
county recently than the growing Of
excellent wheat on four acres of land
by Mr. J. S. McGarrah as a practical
demonstration of what can be done in
Sumter county in the way of growins
wheat on the average farm. Mr.. Nc
Garrah has gained an adequate reward
for his labors and has also set an e4-
ample worthy of emulation by the
farmers of the county.
A number of farmers in Sumter
county for several years have grown
wheat in small quantities. Mention Of
much of this wheat growing has been
made in The Times-Recorder in the
past. 1t is well worth while that the
many farmers of the county who do
not grow wheat should know what
those are doing who are making sue
cess out of this grain which is so vital
for the sustenance of human life.
Since it has been so clearly demon
strated in the past that wheat can be
grown proftably in Sumter county
why is it that more farmers do not
endeavor to raise a few acres of wheat
each year? Some of the more aggres-
sive farmers of the county have Set
excellent examples for the others.
What heavy blow could be struck at
the high cost of living, if the farmers
of Sumter county would adopt this
method
What is needed now in Sumter coun-
ty is for a large number of the farm
erS to adopt the plan Wnhlch a rev
have already found worth while. If
the majority of the farmers of Sumter
county would grow a few acres Of
wheat each year, it would soon make
possible a grist mill here to grind as
good -four as any one could desire It'll
would do more than that 1t woula
not only produce a material saving in
the cost of living but it would bring
rich returns in better food, better
health and greater enjoyment of farm
life. Isn't it worth trying?

SIXTY-FIyE YEARS OF SUCCESS.

The Southern Mutual Insurance Co.,
of Athens, Ga, during the sixty-fve
years since organization has paid s. =
100000 for fire losses, and during the
same period has returned to it's poi
icyholders over 100000 in dividends,
and has accumulated assets for the
protection of policyholders amounting
to $1,25O,OOO.
This company is purely mutual an |
belongs to its policyholders.
At the end of each fiscal year the
amounts paid for fire losses and ex-
penses are deducted from the receipts
for premiums and interest collected on
the assets and the profits remaining
are divided pro rata with all policy
holders.
During the past year, ending May /,
the company has been very successful
and at meeting of the directors on
May %, it was agreed to declare a
dividend of s. per cent. on the past
years business.
AS the rates are the same as in other
companies THIS means a clear saving of
$3.50 on every $40 paid in, and while
this is slightly larger dividend than
usual, yet the average for the past
twenty years has been 81 per cent. and
for the past forty years it has aver
aged 60 per cent.
The policyholders in Americas will
receive IS per cent profit on last years
business, which is a clear, clean, saw
ing to its policyholders.

company, and does business only in

COTTON PRICES AND THE TARIFF
columbia State.)

(ColumDla StaJe.)
For decades upon decades, the cot
ton growers of the South have been
victims of a high protective tariff. The
of the farm and the farm
er's household, the clothing and the
food-or much of it-were increased
in price because of the tax placed up
on them for the benefit of their pro-
ducers. All during those years there
was never a suggestion that the cot
ton grower received one cents benefit
from the tariff. When the price of
cotton was not regulated by supply
and demand, it was manipulated, ac-
cording to accepted theory, by cotton
gamblers in New York. The spot cot
ton market in this country, however,
almost invariably tracked up or down
after Liverpool's quotations. That S
the printed and proved record.
During those years spot cotton has
dropped often to cents; once to 5,
or little more than half the cost ii
production. Within the past 80 months,
when the high tariff was in full swing,

Close Elections.

The number of close races in the pri-
mary was remarkable. Dewn in Christ
ian county the two candidates for
County Attorney got exactly the same
vote, and settled it by Tipping a dollar
In the Senatorial race between Mr.. Had
den and Mr. Clay, in the Mt. Sterling
district, the vote is so close that the Off
cial count is required to decide the
winner In Nicholas county Deputy
Sheriff Parker was chosen over Mr..
Rankin by but two votes, while from all
over the State reports came of many
nominations being made only by few
votes over their opponents.
This is unfortunate for several rea-
sons, mainly because the man beaten by
only few votes is apt to claim that he
is entitled to the nomination and stir
up strife. Fortunately, however,
the average candidate is good loser,
and unless he feels that he has been
very badly treated usually takes his
medicine and announces that he will
support his opponent with all his might.
This spirit is commendable. Let there
be no pouting and no exhibition of sore
spots, and if the vanquished will do all
they can for the victor we will win all
along the line. In the language of the
typewriter copy for beginners, Now is
the time for all good men to come to
the aid of their party."-W. P. W.

If You've Only Cot The Sand

Are you struggling on life's journey
For a place toward the top?
Are you sometimes faint and weary
And almost inclined to stop?
Do not falter, but keep going;
Grasp your staff tight in your hand;
Push ahead; you'll surely get there
If you've only got the sand.
Do you wish to be soldier
Fighting battles for the right?
Strap your knapsack on your shoulder,
Grasp your weapons firm and tight;
You can lead the hosts to battle.
You the armies can command,
You can reach the front and stay there
If you've only got the sand.
Would you gain an authors laurels,
Winning heats with ready pen,
Setting words to pleasant music,
Shaping thoughts and wills of men?
Would you help the world be better?
Help drive evil from the land!
Buckle in! you'll surely get there
If you've only got the sand.
Or, is there some fond position
That you eagerly desire?
Does fame hold some crown above you
To gain which you would aspire!
Make a start, if you would win it,
Pluck is always in demand.
There is naught you cannot conquer
If you've only got the sand.
