Timely Invitation.

Lolita" Crabtree, the we'll
remembered actress, was talk
ing in Boston about the winter
overshoes that she stands ready
to bestow upon the horses of
the Hub.
These shoes, which will pre-
vent falls" she said, "are bad
ly needed in cold weather. If
the horses could voice their wish
they would speak as pointedly
as little lad | knew.
This little lad desired a
watch for Christmas. He an
nounced this desire time after
time, in season and out of sea-
son. He even utilized the Bible.
1T was the rule in this house

BREAKS LOOSE.

Discusses Rheumatic Mules.
Compulsory Education and
Good Roads.
Editor News PLEASE allow
me space in your noteworthy
paper for a few items from this
section, as there hasn't been
any lately.
Good health prevails in these
parts, also we are having a fine
school.
Mr.. John H. Bowers had the
misfortune to lose fine horse
the other day, it's death was
caused by distemper and rheu-
matism. Mr.. Sam Long has a
very sick mule which is ex-
pected to die at any time.
We are glad to note that the
legislature has taken steps to-
ward compulsory education. 1t
is thing that is much needed
in this state, and should have
been enacted before now. We
need it here in our own district
right now, for there are lots of
parents who are not sending
their children to school, and
ought to be compelled to do it.
What has become of the road
contractor? At this writing
we have some very bad roads in
some places they are in an al
most impossible condition, and
have been for quite while.
Now the people are paying
their money to get good roads
and they ought to have them.
Times were, for a while, when
we had as good roads as were in
the county; but they haven't
been worked in so long that they
are as bad as any in the county.
They should at least be worked
before the people begin to haul
their fertilizer.
Will there be a corn club this
year? hope that there will be.
1t has done much for the coun-
ty and will do as much more if
kept up.
Let some Mister" put a
notice in the paper calling the
boys together to organize a
club, and some smart boy see if
he can't compete with Jerry
Moore, so as to make "Lancas-
ter Lead" sure enough. / don't
see why it can't be done here
as we'll as anywhere else.
Also let a tomato club be or
ganized for the girls, for | be-
lieve they can do about as we'll
as the boys.

Appearance of President Causes
Demonstration at Winthrop.
Rock Hill Special to Colum-
bia State, Feb. 19.-The appear
ance of President d. B. John
son of Winthrop College at
chapel yesterday morning
was made the occasion for the
most remarkable demonstra-
tion in the history of the COL
lege. Notwithstanding the sup
posed solemnity of the Chapel
period, when DR.. Johnson ap-
peared upon the platform to
lead in prayer, the nearly 800
girls present rose in body and
cheered their beloved I'D. B." to
the echo. They cheered and
hurrahed and gave the college
yell, the demonstration lasting
several moments. After the
enthusiasm had somewhat sub
sided, a committee of girls went
up on the platform and pre-
sented DR.. Johnson with a
bunch of lovely flowers. The
president was visibly affected
by this vociferous outburst and
thanked the girls for their low
atty and esteem. 1t was a very
human incident.

SAN FRANCISCO CALL FIGHTS FREE SUGAR

The San Francisco Call is added to the list {
newspapers fighting against free sugar. Edito
ally the Call says:
Contamination of the Democratic free sugar
scheme will work tremendous injury to California.
CALIFORNIA; danger may be appreciated from
consideration of what the Democratic tariff program
means to the beet sugar industry alone.
California produces approximately a fourth of the
beet sugar produced in the United States The
American beet sugar production is slightly greater
tan the sugar production. 1t represents about
sixth of the sugar consumed in the United States
The sugar beet acreage of this state is in excess
OF 100000 acres The development of the beet sugar
industry California has resulted in the erection of
ten large refneries. 1t has increased the average
price of the lands affected from $25 and $50
TO from SIS to $3.50
The industry, in its present state of development,
is distributing approximately s6OOOOOO year to the
farmers in the beet sugar districts
1t has made the average crop value about
SEQ year. This average is, of course, struck from
tie gross In several of the districts the manufac-
turers are paying the farmers average net ground
rent of about $40 an acre.
The Democratic program for an immediate reduc-
ton of 25 per free sugar after three years
involves immediate loss of about $1,1OO0O0 year
to the California beet sugar industry
1t means an ultimate loss, without reference to
any development loss, of approximately $4500000
year to the industry in this state
If the industry could survive this loss, and the
sugar experts agreed that it could not the major
loss inevitably would fall upon the producer.
Considered in average terms, the immediate cut
proposed by the Democratic administration means
reduction of more than $3.50 year in the California
acre crop value.
1t means, at the end of the third year, reduction
of nearly $27 in the California average annual acre
crop value.
1t means corresponding loss to labor and to cap
ital 1t may not mean the destruction of the beet
sugar industry in California. 1t will mean an arrest
of the development of that industry. 1t will mean
serious loss loss that will be felt in the long by
every wage-earner, every producer.
California wants no free sugar.

SMALL FARMING GETS DEFINITE ENCOURAGEMENT

The plans announced in the Star-Bulletn to-
day by Special Agent L. v Wilcox of the federal
experimentation for the development of small
farming in Hawaii are of the highest Importance
to the future of this territory.
DR. Wicox's intention to establish several
new experiment stations and to promote the
growing and marketing Of vegetables and fruits
ought to be given the hearty cooperation of the
people of this territory. The marketing division,
which was swept away by edict of the legislature
just CLOSED, has been an important factor in the
starting of several produce industries and the
commercial feature Of this division, that is, its
junction commission business, ought to be
retained and developed. The territory can well
afford to encourage farmers by carrying on for
them a commission business at a small cost and
thus providing for them a cheap and sure market
for what they grow.
The Star-Bulletin regrets that the territory is
to lose the services of Superintendent of Market
ing Starrett, whose position is abolished by the
recent legislative act, for Superintendent Star
rett, in spite of the vicious attacks made upon
him, has done great deal of good, and this not
withstanding the rather slight support given him
BY the very board under whose auspices his work
was carried on However, Mr.. Starrett has
started many farmers in the direction of small
produce industries and under DIR. Wicox's able
direction and the ample funds furnished by the
legislature, the work should prosper as never be-
fore.
