Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1913-01-22

The occupation of farming has
gown wonderfully in importance,
dignity and attractiveness in re,
cent years, so that many men of
highest business aud professional
talent are turning their attention
to this most ancient and honor
able pursuit of humanity. Es-
pecially is this true of Lawrence
County. When the writer first
came here to make his home, some
nine years ago, the county did not
produce enough to feed itself, its
attention being given 10 timber
and mining. But fortunately for
our permanent progress and pros
perity a change has come, The
timber is being rapidly cut away,
and it's importance as a COM
mercial commodity greatly lessen
ed. The mines were often closed,
owing to depression in the mar
kets. The army of laborers in
these two lines were compelled to
seek other occupations. With
many thousand of acres OF unde-
velopsd lands all around them,
some of ii Of unusual fertility, all
of it having great possibilities OF
D roductiveness, with proper hand
ling, what more natural than that
agriculture should have new
birth in Lawrence. The transition
period from the old order to the
new was a hard one. Men who
had been used to drawing their
wages every Saturday night, could
| i'll adapt themselves to waiting d
year till harvest time for pay
day" Many gave up dishearten'
ed; many were forced out Of the
unequal battle and fell fainting
by the wayside. But that time
has passed, and our people have
been converted from an unstable
and shifting mass dependent or

clearsighted, debt-paying, indie

citizenry, under the Transforming

as the rose. Business men will

known greater prosperity. Ever!
line of industry, built on the en-

about this matter is, that our pros

Our representative in the House
Hon. w. P. Fleeman, is making a
painstaking and conscientious rep.
resentative of all the people. He
is alert to advance by his voice
and his vote. honesty and efficien.
cy in government affairs. His
service so far is entirely creditable
and a source Of pride to the people
of his county and district. Mr.
Fleeman has some old fashioned
ideas of honesty and economy il
public affairs that will be a mighty
stumbling block in the way of the
grabs and gratis so prevalent in
legislative affairs of late.

San Francisco's Position

Editor Press-Dear Sir: 1t is inter
tsting 10 read in the Los Angeles Tri-
bune of this date, under the heading
'kneH of Redlight in California Rung,"
that the assembly yesterday afternoon
adopted the Bohnett "redlight' abate-
ment act by the decisive vote of So to
II 1t is equally interesting TO note
that all but five of the II opposition
votes were cast by the San Francisco
members" and that il was Assembly
man Schmitt who fought the bill inch
oY inch during its progress through
the lower house. 1t is fact worthy
Of note and attention that the very
fellows who are opposing the anti-red-
usht bill are opposing the Anderson
Aoorehonse county unit liquor bill, and
that more than three-fifths of that
bunch are from San Francisco. 1t is
enough to make the decent people Of
san Francisco hold their noses and
hId- their faces in shame at such
resentation. If that riffraff element
~ allowed 10 defeat the Moorehouse
county unit bill in the legislature, the
sext step will be the referendum
which means statewide prohibition

that Imperial valley should be active

II is estimated that 10000 autohlo-

Of the road directly to the people here,
there would he immense gain from the
