UP IN VIRGINIA

Mr.. w. II. Herndon returned to his
home in Yorkville, Friday after three
weeks visit to relatives and friends in
Virginia.
When seen by an Enquirer reporter,
Mr.. Herndon said that he had a very
pleasant trip and he talked interesting
ly of his visit at some little length.
Mr.. Herndon said that the crop pros
poets were very bright in the section of
Virginia he visited. and he thought
that Virginia crops were In better con-
dition than those In this section.
"They raise corn and tobacco almost
exclusively in the sections I visited"
he explained, "and from all I have
been able to learn there Is great deal
more money in raising tobacco than
there is in cotton. OF course 1t costs
more to produce tobacco than cotton,
but still the difference in the selling
price proves that tobacco Is the most
profitable.
The section around Baskerville, Mr..
Herndon said, was very rich. All the
people are farmers and while the towns
do not amount to much from a stand
point or population or business, the
farmers in the country surrounding
are in a prosperous condition.
Speaking of Virginia towns, Mr..
Herndon said he was not much i'm
pressed. Most of them In the section
| was In are about the size of Nc
Connellsvile, Guthriesville and F'ilbert.
The lawyers do not live In the towns,
but on their farms in the country and
they come into the towns to practice.
The same rule applies to other classes
of professional men.
Another thing that impressed me, ,"
observed Mr.. Herndon, was the num-
ber of stores throughout the country.
It looks as though everybody runs a
store as a side line. and there Is one at
every crossing almost. OF course these
merchants get a little more for their
goods than we merchants In York
county, but still there are too many
merchants in Virginia"
Asked as to the corn crop In Vir-
ginia, Mr. Herndon said that it was
very good "All the crops are good and
it's n great farming country. 1t makes
me wish could recall twenty five
years so I could make new start at
farming"
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1913-08-12

A system of rural credits Is as badly
needed in this as in any other section
of the country, and we are in full SYM
pathy with the efforts of certain states
men to bring about something along
that line. OF course we still believe
as we have always believed, that the
average farmer should not go into debt
for anything until he has used every
believe that after a farmer goes into
debt, the necessity for economy be-
comes all the greater. But still there
Is always need for farmers to borrow
to make their crops, to buy land or
push improvements of whatever ma
ture, and it is important that they
should be able to secure money on the
most reasonable terms possible. 1t is o
common saying among business men
who have surplus money, that there
are few investments that will beat a
farm land loan at per cent" and they
are undoubtedly right. But why should
the land purchaser or the land improv-
er have to pay better rate of interest
even than is to be expected in the shape
of dividends from the industrial or other
enterprise? 1t seems to us that if some
arrangement could be perfected where
by the land owner could borrow at a
lower rate of interest, the result would
be not only to greatly stimulate agri-
cultural development; but there would
be greater activity along general lines

HOME OWNERSHIP

Hon. John E. Carroll, superintendent
of education for York county, was one
Of the speakers at the conference for
the Common Good in Columbia last
week. In introducing him Mr.. D. R.
Coker said that If men Of equal faith
fulness and ability were in charge in
all the counties, South Carolina's edu-
cational problem would be much near
er solution than it is. Mr.. Carrolrs
subject was Permanent Homes for
the People" and his excellent address
was as follows:
Under the general head Of "Perma-
nent Homes for our People" l shall
discuss more briefly that division Of
the subject relating more particularly
to the schools.
What has been said by the gentle
men who have preceded me In regard
to the church, to health, and to good
farming applies with equal force to
the school, and let 1t be understood
that If what have to say Is in some
degree a repetition of what has already
been said, 1t is due to the fact that the
various ub-heads are so closely relat-
ed that 1t Is almost impossible to sep
arate the one from the other. A COM
munity which boasts Of a good school
and at the same time submits to anti
quated methods of farming and bad
roads is almost unthinkable. Progress
siveness in one respect means progress
siveness in the others. In recent years
more attention possibly has been given
to the schools than to the other phases
Of the subject. This Is clearly shown
by the fact that beginning with the
three mill constitutional tax as basis
more than two-thirds of all the school
districts in the state have levied an
extra tax for the support Of the schools
while extra levies for the building and
maintenance of good roads are by no
means so common.
It requires no great stretch OF the
imagination to see in the near future
an eight months term for every white
child in South Carolina-and longer
than eight months Is nothing less than
cruelty to children and ought to be
forbidden under heavy penalties.
Our people are so painfully conserv-
ative that it has taken years of agita-
ton to break down the barriers erected
by custom and tradition. The farmer

Committed for Lunacy.
Ernest Herndon, a Bethel negro, who
has been living on Mr. David Patricks
place, was committed to Jail yesterday
on a writ of lunacy and will be sent to
the state hospital. Herndon had been
acting queerly for some days. He spent
half of last Friday in Mr.. Patrick's
barn and refused to come out until he
got ready. Later his relatives took him
to North Carolina. They brought him
back last Sunday night in a wagon,
and as he was passing the residence OF
Mr. Jim Adams, Of Bowling Green, he
Jumped out and took refuge in the pi-
azza. The understanding Is that Hern-
don thinks he has been hoodooed by
another negro.

when the south harvests cotton
crop worth a billion dollars 1t needs q
lot of money to pay its hands and meet
the planters other obligations. This
demand for money creates a scarcity
and interest rates go up. In some To-
calities no loans are to be had at all
commensurate with the needs. So the
crop is dumped on the market for what
1t will bring. 1t has been estimated
that a responsive financial system
would enable the farmers of the south
to save more than hundred million
dollars In q year, through their ability
to hold the crop until they could mar
ket it to better advantage

nutshell so just anybody should be able

posits. 1t was urged that the Federal
board be deprived of all powers Of
initiative. leaving that function with
the proposed advisory board compos-
ed of bankers. Strong criticism was
made of the reserve features of the
bill. The bankers declared that as
at present drawn, it would decentral-
ize credits to such an extent as to i'm
pair business seriously, some main
tanning that they would be obliged
materially to decrease their loans.
They asked for a reduction Of the re-
serve required Of country and re-
serve city banks and the continu-
ance of a proportion Of reserves,
with reserve agents as at present, in
stead of forcing the reserves into the
Federal reserve banks or keeping
them in the bankers own vaults. Sen
ator Owen promised to take all re-
commentators under consideration.
Secretary McAdoo heard the south
ern bankers yesterday and will confer
with far west representatives next
Thursday regarding distributing the
deposit of the $50,000,000. ...

There is much enthusiasm among
members of the Alfalfa club, and that
good results are going to be accom-
plished is practically certain.
There were some inaccuracies in the
recently published notice Of the death
Of Mrs. Jane A. Ferguson, who passed
away on July 20, aged II years, and
was buried at Beersheba on July 81.
Mrs. Ferguson was the widow of the
late James Y. Ferguson, and is sur
vived by one son, Mr.. ]. r. Ferguson,
and four grandchildren, Messrs.
Brown and White Ferguson, Mrs. EN-
ma Love and Miss Annie Ferguson.
Miss Edith Parrot, state agent Of
the girls canning clubs, who recently
closed a contract with Clemson college
for 5000 gallons Of South Carolina
canned tomatoes, has closed similar
contract with Winthrop for 600 gal
Ions. While $500 gallons Of tomatoes
is a small matter for the state Of
South Carolina, nevertheless the deal
Is full of interest. In the first place, 1t
would have been impossible for any
body to have bought even 900 gallons
of South Carolina tomatoes through
any one agency two years ago, and In
the second place, there is reason to be-
lieve that If Winthrop. and Clemson
had wanted such quantity, Miss Par
rott would have readily promised them
10000 gallons or even more. The live
at home idea Is getting start, and we
should keep 1t agoing.

the northeast he will readily distin-

ing in its wake path or streak Of light.
Besides this annual meteoric display,
at particular times during the century
exhibitions of much greater magnitude
take place. In 1888 a display Of un-
usual brilliancy occurred. In the year
of 1892 or 1888 the earth again will en-
counter the same field and the phe-
nomenon may be more or less spectac-
ular.

Washington dispatches indicate that
Congressman Ragsdale has no inten-
ton of boiling the party on the cur
rency question. On the contrary 1t Is
his purpose to abide the decision Of the
caucus. He has believed all the while
and still believes that the south is as
much entitled to have raw cotton rec
ognized as q basis of note issue as the
northeast has to have steel bonds so
recognized, and he has been fighting
along that line with all the force and
ability at his command. While he may
have accomplished nothing more than
to bring a large part of the country to
a realization of what he was fighting
about, that Of itself is worth some
thing. It is not necessary for him to
bolt the caucus, and we have no idea
that he intends to do so. 1t is a pity,
however, that Mr. Ragsdale did not
have an opportunity to address the
house before the caucus decision was
reached.

Ed DeCamp of the Gaffney Ledger,
in fit of desperation, has turned loose
the following:-"Let's. hold a constitu-
tional convention and limit every state
and county office to one term of four
years and then have an election only
every four years. We might have trou-
BILE tearing some Of the sucklings from
the public tit but nothing like what we
now have keeping the hogs out Of the
slop trough. Piedmont.
Although the sentiment involved is
more or less common, we do not know
that we have ever heard it expressed
just that way before. The main thing
about a county office, as we see it, is
to have it properly filled, and we are
inclined to feel that if public officials
would give good service and not be-
come meddlesome in things that do
not concern them, it would make no
difference how long they held on to
their jobs. But of course that is not
all that is to be considered. Under the
more or less familiar working of the
laws of human nature, the situation is
like this: The initial motive of the
average aspirant to public office is to
get there on account Of the salary and

The Mexican Situation.

AS to whether there is going to be
war with Mexico, is not yet clear; but
there seems to be no reason to doubt
that the situation is extremely critical
1t has been intimated more than once
that there are influences in Washington
that would gladly bring about war in
order to detract attention from pending
tariff and currency legislation, and
further foundation has been furnish
ed for such a belief through the utter
ances of certain Republican senators.
The removal of Ambassador Wilson,
and the sending of Ex-Governor Lind,
of Minnesota, to Mexico as special en-
voy of the president, has been made
the occasion Of all kinds Of sensation
al stories, and If those who are in for
making trouble do not succeed, there
will be a waste of lot of ingenious
effort.
Provisional President Huerta has
been quoted as saying that he will sub
nit to no interference from the United
States, and will not receive or have
anything to do with Envoy Lind except
as a duly accredited ambassador, af-
ter recognition by the United States.
There are stories to the effect that
Mexico has secured $4,000 rifles from
Japan; that Japanese soldiers have
been wearing Mexican uniforms, and
a. l., lnt. 10 tn Ind To
pan to take the side of Mexico. 1t is
said that Huerta, though unpopular
rather than otherwise, is rapidly gain
ing in popularity by a shrewd stand
against foreign interference, and by
making the people believe that he
would gladly shed the last drop of his
blood to prevent invasion from the
United States.
At a conference with the foreign re-
lations committee of the senate last
Saturday night, Secretary Bryan being
present, President Wilson stated in
effect that Governor Lind had been
sent to Mexico without instructions;
but that he w to receive instructions
later The president went on to say
that upon the overthrow of the Made
TO government, Huerta had pledged
himself to call an election not later
than July, and that he would not be a
candidate for the presidency. Presi-
dent Wilson made it clear that under
no circumstances would he recognize
Huerta. and explained that Envoy Lind
was merely to act as eyes and ears of
the Washington government.
There were advance stories to the
effect that Governor Lind and his wife
would be subjected to an indignant
demonstration on their arrival at Vera
Cruz; but when they reached that
port last Saturday nothing happened.
Provisional President Huerta is re-
ported as denying that he would allow
any indignity to be offered to the
American representative.
The newspapers are printing reports
of feverish activity in the United
States army and navy, and although it
is officially denied that there is any
thing brewing out of the ordinary, re-
ports are insistent that the facts are
otherwise.
AS to what is going to happen, of
course, nobody can tell: but it is easy
to see that the situation is generally
rather ticklish.

the honor that attaches. But after the
first desire Is attained there naturally
arises longing for further promotion,
more power and more salary, and Of
ten a desire to regulate things general
ly. Hence government by officials COM
mences and government by the people
begins to decline. We are hardly pre-
pared to concede the practicability of
carrying out the Ledger's suggestion.
If sentiment should ever reach point
where such a thing would be thought
necessary, there would be no difficulty
about applying existing remedies.
