Good farming is not so much in
what we do as in the way We do it.
If a man is a financial success, peo-
pie overlook the means that made him
so.
Many a man thinks he Is saint be-
cause he has dreams of heaven every
Sunday.
It's a waste OF time to fix up your
statistics for the benefit of the record
ing angel.
Every furrow which is plowed faith
fully and upon honor makes the world
bit better.
When you hear an extravagant com
pliment, you are disposed TO think
there is a good deal in it.
Too many of us seem to think that
when we want to show our independ-
ence We must get mad about 1t.
Men who know how to use farm
tools right, and have the fairness to
do it, are the ones we want on our
farms.
Turning the grindstone in the hot
sun generally turns boys thoughts
to the cool, dim aisles OF the stores
in the city.
Some farmers appear to think wher
you suggest new idea to them thai
you are trying to knock the founda
tions of life from under them.
The small farmer can keep variety
of livestock sufficient to produce
something to sell and bring in bit o
ready cash every month in the year.

There Is a chance for us all to b.
better farmers than we are. The nee'
is great, and the road Is not blocke'
with traffic. 1t does not as rule g
that way.
It's a poor farm that doesn't hav

UPLlFT IN COTTON HANDLING
often Left Exposed to Be Damaged by
Rain and infiitrated by Mud-Aiso
CareiessIy Baled.

II is notorious that cotton has been
the most slovenly handled of all OF
the agricultural products OF the
United States. The farmers often
leave 1t exposed to be damaged by
rain and infiltrated by mud. Even
when offered for shipment it is some
times in this condition. All too fire.
ouently so loosely baled and made
uuately baled. 1t has been said that
upon receipt at foreign ports bales
of cotton look more like rag bags.
For many years the railways have
sought to have the cotton shippers
exercise greater care, but the rail-
ways of this country have no such
autocratic power as those OF Ger
MANY. where no shipment Is accepted
unless it is packed and marketed in
accordance with rigid specifications.
Government experts have estimated
that of the cotton crop Of the United
States there is between the gin and
the spinner a wastage and damage
| amounting to S50,000,000 per annum.
The Japanese several years age
ruled that they would not accept cot
ton that was not clean, securely
hacked and plainly marketed. They
get what they want. The possibility
of losing the custom of nation makes
a difference. The Transatlantic lines
who in recent years have been mulct
ed in heavy damages because OF the
moor condition in which cotton ha:
been delivered to foreign consignee:
have taken action that will re-enforc'
the efforts of the railroads. From
September 1, 1912, to March 81, 1913
on the average one bale of cotton GU
of every six offered at the South Allan
tic and Gulf ports was condemned
one bale out of every ten was improI
erly marked Beginning with July
1913, their requirements will be NOR
rigid; higher charges will be e1acte
for cotton loosely baled.
The railways in the cotton GROWN
regions are therefore redoubling thei
efforts with cotton compressors, cotto
ginners and shippers. When thos
concerned in cotton growing and shiI
ming find that shiftlessness react

COTTON FUTURES GAMBLING
Cents Per Bale Would Be of Big
Benefit to South.

ated in the Underwood-Simmo bill

dispatches stated that merchants and
business men of Alabama are protest

II would be highly interesting 10
many to know the names OF those op-
posing this much needed curblnS OF
the distinctly gambling feature OF the
cotton business. Time was, perhaps,
when the demands of the cotton trade
required a future market TO protect
itself in, but the cotton gamblers
themselves have long since eliminated
the legitimate features of buying cot
ton futures to get spinnable cotton.
To prove this, there has been a wide
difference in the price Of say, May OF
June contracts, on the boards OF the
New York cotton exchange, and spot
cotton. To the uniformed this may
seem well nigh a contradiction, Dul
nevertheless ii is a fact. 1t is the re
suit of a system, now well established
OF discouraging the taking OF actua
cotton by spinners and exporters OF

Cause of High Prices.

Unfortunately. when prices Of live
stock rule high, as was the case In
1910, there is a natural tendency for
farmers to rush everything salable
to market. including immature AMI
mails and. worst Of all, breeding ami
mails. This inevitably brings about
a future shortage and so the country
suffers from alternate periods Of com.
parative and real stringency, while
producers often lose heavily through
the instability of prices.

Governor Blease utters Sentiments
That Create Sensation.
Since the recent banquet Of the State
Bar association held in Columbia there
has been much talk among the lawyers
who were present concerning the speech
made by Governor Blease on that occa-
sion. The speech was declared by
visiting lawyer who was in Greenville
Yesterday, as the feature Of the even
ing, since the chief executive virtually
came out for compulsory education OF
white children, and also extended the
olive branch to the judiciary and to
both houses Of the legislature-an of
whom he has roundly abused In the
past.
The statement made by the governor
on education especially created sem
sation because he has repeatedly said
that he would veto any bill for COM
pulsory education.
According to a lawyer who was pres
ent, Governor Blease, when called upon
to respond to the toast South Carroll
ma" arose in his place and in substance
made the following remarks:
THE gentleman on my left has just
remarked to me that he lives ana
works for South Carolina, and know
of no higher sentiment which any one
could express. I have devoted and VIII
continue to devote, every talent ano
energy possess to the uppuiidlng ano
people. / am in favor Of educating n
children of this state and building
schoolhouses and filling them with
teachers until every white child In
South Carolina can read and, write, and
IL the parents will not send them TO
school we will compel them to do So"
The conclusion Of his speech was
sensation. Governor Blease turned to
the chief justice Of the state and said,
"Will the chief justice OF the state
stand up?" Mr.. Justice Gary rose TO
his feet.
win the president Of the bar asso-
citation stand up?"
Colonel Henderson arose.
"will a member Of the senate stand
up?"
governor.
"Wiii a member of the house Of rep
resentatives stand?"
A member Of the house got up from
his chair.
Then said the governor, raising his
glass:
81 say to you representatives Of the
people of South Carolina that I have
wiped the slate clean; that will bury
all political animosities, and propose
during my term as governor to use
every effort in my power for the up
building and advancement OF South
Carolina"
This statement was received first
with a murmur Of surprise, which gave
way to vociferous applause in which
nearly every one in the room joined.
After the dinner q number OF former
supporters Of Judge Ira B. Jones went
nm to the governor and shook hands
with him. Two very conspicuous Jones
