Wheat Sowing.

In the OlQ DAYS DelpTc TIC "di, uhSo'
was one Of the principal agricultural
products Of York county; but now-a-
days, there is not one bushel raised
where formerly there was a hundred.
We have no statistics at hand show
ing the wheat production in the old
days; but are able to state as a fact
that from 1880 to 1910, the value OF
the wheat shipped out Of this county
was considerably greater than the val
ue Of the cotton so shipped, and 1t was
not until long after the Civil war that
wheat ceased to be looked upon as one
Of the county's leading crops.
During the census year Of 1893, York
had in 1870 acres Of wheat, and the
yield was 77,0S0 bushels, but during the
census year of 1909 there were only
1858 acres and 17,490 bushels. There
are no figures as to acreage Of wheat
in during the present year, and no way
of estimating the probable Yield; but
there Is no reason to assume that the
acreage is any larger than 1t was four
years ago, however better the yield
may be.
There are great many people who
will insist that because Of some change
in climatic conditions, which alleged
change they have no way Of establish
ing, wheat will not produce as well in
this section as in the old days; but
there Is nothing to this. There are
wheat crops in Bethel and Kings
Mountain townships this year that are
averaging we'll up to the best records.
and this fact alone would discredit the
common contention referred to.
The biggest drawback to wheat pro-
duction in this county is undoubtedly
its conflict with the cotton crop. In
the fall when. wheat should be sowed,
the farmers are still busy with their
cotton picking or cotton is still In the
way, and in the early summer when
harvest time comes. cotton is demand
ing even closer and more particular at
tention. Zee. i..
But whatever the reason why wheat
raising Is on the decline, wheat should
receive more attention. This locality
should at least raise sufficient wheat
to make its own bread.

- Charleston special Of July 4 to Au-
gusta Chronicle: A military man, In
speaking Of the recent conflict be-
tween the state and the war depart
ment, which threatened for time to
cut off all support Of the Federal gov
ernment from the South Carolina Ma
tional Guard, said today that the trou-
BILE for the unpleasantness which
arose with the harsh expressions Of
the governor for the army officers,
was as much the fault of the adjutant
general as the governor. The military
officer was not excusing the harsh and
undignified language OF Governor
Blease, but he makes the point that
the expressions that he used were
made to Adjutant General Moore, and
were not intended for the perusal OF
the secretary Of war or Brigadier
General Mills. According to this Of
ficer, General Moore used the stand
of the army officers in support Of his
own position in his contention with
the governor, and when he did not
carry his point, through pique, he for
warded copies Of the governors let
ters and gave out the matter for pub
lication, causing the unpleasantness
which occurred. The situation Is now,
however, thought to be in process Of
satisfactory adjustment, and the re-
cent stir will soon be memory with
the delinquent companies passing an
other inspection and meeting the re-
quirements under the Dick law.

Tho President and Patronage

Tho President and Patronage
Something occurred the other day
that gives a good line on the patron
age policy Of the Wilson administra-
ton, at least at the outset.
The case referred to Is that in which
former state Senator A. D. Watts of
North Carolina, bitterly attacked as
reactionary, was nominated by Presi-
dent Wilson for collector Of internal
revenue at the urgent request Of the
two North Carolina senator's, and at
the particular urgent instance Of Sem
ator F. M. Simmons, whose secretary
Watts has been for the past several
years. After keeping the two sena-
tors on the anxious bench for some
time, after hearing the "progressives'
Of the Carolina Democracy explain
how Watts as a state leader had op-
posed a legalized primary, and been
generally against the political meas
ures which the president would have
favored, Mr.. Wilson handed in the
nomination the other evening, and so
eagerly did the senate snap at 1t, that
Watts was confirmed within an hour,
without the usual formality Of having
the nomination referred to q COM
mittee.
To refer again to the Presidents
view Of patronage as matter second
ary to legislative achievement and to
as more important than
men, we may contemplate with inter-
est the relations between the president
and Secretary Of State Bryan.
Mr. Bryan Is being treated with the
utmost generosity by Mr.. Wilson In
the matter Of diplomatic appointments
and other appointments Of the first
class. More "big jobs" are going to
men backed by Bryan than are going
to any other one influence, the presi-

Bow Scout. .t c.t.vsburo.-rhere i,

Boy Scouts at Gettysburg.-There Is
glory enough to go around from the
Gettysburg reunion. Error might have
been made In failing to provide for ten
thousand more rather than ten thous-
and less than were present; but GER
tainly the facilities at hand were made
to stretch wonderfully and do remark
able work. Due credit must be given
to the army officers, to the Red Cross
representatives, and to the committees
entertaining the venerable soldiers Of
'63, but by no means should the Boy
Scouts be omitted from honorable
mention. The value Of this organiza-
tion Of boys has been demonstrated Of
ten, and their work at Gettysburg
brought new luster to their standards.
Stories Of the courtesy, valor, and
intelligence Of the trained Boy Scouts
will take place Of honor In the an
mails Of the magnicant reunion Of 1913.
Instance after instance Is cited Of their
activity and faithful attention to duty.
Agile, tireless, enthusiastic, well taught
and watchful, the youngsters showed
their mettle, handling case after case
of distress among the old soldiers who
fought losing battle against the Sc
we're heat and many demands upon
their falling strength.
It was inspiring to the boys, this
privilege of touching elbows with the
heroes Of the mighty battle, and must
have been vastly comforting to the old
knights to observe and receive the de-
voted attentions Of such gallant
squires. go
Noble and wholesome are the prin-
ciples underlying the Boy Scout organ
izations. Practical, too, is their train
ing, making as 1t does for a healthy
body and a usefully developed mind.
The boys are impressed with the vir-
tues Of courtesy and veneration Of age,
these qualities shining especially
bright on the battlefield Of Gettysburg,
where valor's echoes resounded in the
service Of the big hearted child-men
who served their country so gallantly
last week.-Charleston Post

The Laws Delay,

In an interesting editorial on the
Vaughn case, the Greenville News has
this to say in regard to frequent de-
lays in our legal system;
IN this situation there is nothing
culpable so far as the attorneys for
Vaughn are concerned. They are do
ing no more than any other wide
awake attorneys would do. They are
fighting to the last ditch. But there is
much that is culpable In a legal sys-
tenn which permits Of such delays. And
the defects which cause the delays are
the cause also of much disrespect for
the law. A criminal should be given
every chance to prove his innocence,
or to escape with as light penalty as
possible. There should be no precipi-
tate execution of the law but neither
should there be the degree of procras-
tination which now exists in the exc
cution Of sentence. The system should
be such that an appeal would receive
more prompt attention and that techni-
calities would not enter in to delay
justice, except where these technicali-
ties have direct bearing upon the out
come Of the trial.

in less than five months after commit
ting the crime Of uxorcide. Every ef-
fort was made by his attorneys to save

Presidential peportment-We ha,

Presidential Deportment.-We have
seen that President Wilson personally
delivers his keynote messages to con-
gress, and has been permitted the priv
ilege after very little carping at first.
He likes to attend different Washington
churches on Sunday, to avoid the
crowds attracted by him. He has been
known, to accompany visitor to the
White House gate, dressed In white
duck or some garb Of the kind. 1t now
appears that when provoked he says,
tut, tut" Also that he believes the
spectacle Of two uniformed policemen
on motorcycles dashing after his auto
mobile attracts too much attention
from pedestrians, his idea being to go
to and from the White House like any
other citizen except with the company
Of a single secret service man. Lastly
he has no Kitchen cabinet" at least as
regards newspaper men. III President
Wilson has any newspaper intimate"
writes the Washington correspondent
Of the Boston Transcript, "the Wash
ington correspondents do not know OF
him. Recently group of the more
notable and powerful ones canvassed
the situation and they came to the
conclusion that none existed. They
canvassed their own experience and
found that only two of them had per-
sonally seen the president and at that
only for short time, and that the in
terview had not been productivity sat-
isfactory. 1t was declared that it was
difficult to break through the reserve
that surrounds President Wilson's de-
meanor." Take him all in all, Presi
dent Wilson appears to be Democratic
without being either undignif1ed or in
discreet. We think his department
will do.-Charlotte Observer.

DRIFTING ro CATTLE

/ Mr.. Rufus ]. Davis, the proprietor of
Davis's mill on Crowder's Creek, and
one Of the most successful farmers Of
the Bethel section, is beginning to give
his attention to cattle raising. He is
not making any promises. Being one
Of those rare, be-sure-you- re-right
kind Of men, he is going slowly; but
the progress he has made SO far seems
to indicate to those who know him that
he is now fairly launched in the busi-
ness.
Mr. Davis was in Yorkville yesterday
and in a short talk with member Of
The Enquirer staff. said that he had
been giving increasing attention to the
cattle business during the past three
years, and now has about thirty head
Of cattle, all ages and sizes. but mostly
young grade Holsteins. 2
Mr.. Davis fed sixteen head Of cattle
through last winter; but only finished
two of them. These were calves Of four
years ago, and had just reached the
right age to fatten to advantage. They
weighed 800 pounds and he sold them
at $40 each. The others he is pastur&'
ing during the summer, and since
spring he has accumulated twelve or
fifteen head more. Some Of these have
been bred on his own plantation, and
others are the male progeny Of a fine
Holstein stock animal that he is main
tanning for the benefit of himself and
the neighborhood. -
Although he has plenty Of the land
for the purpose, Mr.. Davis has not yet
gone seriously into the pasture ques-
ton. He Is figuring on some broaden
ing out, however, and seems inclined
toward making some more or less ex-
tensive experiments with Bermuda
grass, because he is about reaching,the
conclusion that this variety furnishes
as reliable pasturage as any he knows
Of. ls.# .#o"t lt.'S .ru - 7.t
Davis mentions the little-known fact
that ordinary broom straw makes ex-
,cellent roughage when cut at the right
stage. He has been cutting little of
1t each year during several years past
and finds that 1t not only cures beau
tifully; but that the stock is fond Of It.
"Of course, 1t Is not to be compared with
crab grass, hay or means grass; but I

him. Why cannot South Carolina have
equally expeditions court procedure
Procrastination Is dangerous because
Ii serves to lessen respect for the laws
strong arm. The fault Is with the sys-
tenn Of legal procedure as practiced
not only in this, but in all other states
to a more or less extent. The courts
are the bulwark of the Constitution,
and Of freedom so these courts should
not operate under a defective system
which will lead to disrespect for the
courts, this disrespect arising from the
incompetency Of the system to execute
justice as 1t should be executed"
All that is very we'll put, except that
It has not been put strong enough, and
there does not appear to be enough
diligence in going down after the facts
Certainly there is nothing culpable In
this matter so far as Vaughn's law
yers are concerned. They are merely
using the machinery and the prece-
dents that have been provided for
them. The guilt Of Vaughn has been
established beyond the slightest sha-
dow Of question, and the natural ques-
ton of common sense is, "Then what
are you waiting any longer for? But
common sense does not enter into this
thing. The truth Is that South Caro-
lima legislation has been 50 long DOM
mated by lawyers that the lawyers have
got things fixed about to their own no
ton. Originally, the penalty Of crime
was death, imprisonment or fine; but
South Carolina methods have about
changed that, especially in the case OF
criminals, who have money, to confis-
cation. The due process of law"
guaranteed in the Constitution, and
considered by the laymen to be the
equivalent Of "justice and equity" has
come to mean. "as long as the litigants
have any money" With many think
ing men 1t has come to be a question
whether the offenses perpetrated
against society. or the means used in
the ostensible effort to check them, is
the more serious menace to the welfare
of society itself. We fully agree with
the News that the lawyers in the
Vaughn case are not chargeable with
the wrong that is being perpetrated-
not positively at least. The worst that
can be said Of them is that they have
not in the past done their utmost to
correct the absurd travesties that they
are now making use Of What the end
Of this kind of thing Is going to be, no
man can tell. It would be too much to
hope for reform along the ordinary
course, for as a rule. men do not be-
come aroused in matters Of this kind
until after they have had The thing
brought home to them, and the proper
tion Of people who have the thing
brought home to them is too small to
admit Of much Of fuss.

Congressman r. Y. Webb, of Nor

Congressman e. Y. Webb, of North
Carolina, was included among the
statesmen whom that fellow Mulhall
named as being "approachable," but on
this, Mulhall has been forced to come
down. He now admits that he has
never had any financial transactions
with Webb. and only thought him
friendly. The record shows that Webb
has consistently voted against the
schemes Of the National Association of
Manufacturers. Upon investigation,
the New York World finds that the
only Mulhall letter 1t has containing
Webb's name was one in which the
North Carolina congressman was in
vited to deliver an address, which in
vitation was declined.

The Wall Street Journal argues that
the imposition Of a tax Of one-tenth of
a cent a pound on cotton bought under
the future contract system will result In
the closing Of the New York and New
Orleans exchanges, and there must
necessarily follow. to take the place of
the exchanges, the organization Of a
tremendous combine to buy and sell
cotton, with the result that the farm
.ers will not get such good prices for
their cotton as they are now getting
AS to what would be the effect Of the
abolition Of the exchanges, we do not
know. They may be Of real value in
the marketing Of cotton--real value to
producers-but we confess that we
cannot see 1t that way. To our view,
they are rather great vampires that
such an undue proportion Of the value
Of the cotton crop. We feel sure that
even II they are beneficial rather than
otherwise, they are very expensive and
cost the cotton producer more than
they should cost him. AS to that sug-
gested giant combine" we are again
at loss. Such thing is practicable,
no doubt; but it seems to us that since
the national government has taken, or
Is about to take, q hand in the matter
Of regulating the exchanges, the state
governments should go still further
into the subject. A big warehouse
system under state management in
each state, could very easily take the
entire cotton crop under control. 1t
could certainly manage as we'll as the
giant combine suggested. And If the
states had all the cotton under control,
then 1t seems to us that the represen-
tatives of cotton producers would be
about as we'll prepared to deal with
the spinners as would be the managers
Of the giant combine" referred to, and
If these state managers should devote
themselves to the task Of securing for
the farmers as much profit as possible,
as the exchanges are now endeavoring
to secure such profit for themselves,
then it would seem that the farmers
ought to stand a better show than they
get now.
