HERE. AND NOWHERE ELSE.

Why does congress spend millions
OF dollars irrigating deserts in the
west? Why not repair some of the
damage done the south by the plum
derings OF war and build us good
roads with some OF that money? Why
do people rush to these cheap lands
OF the west and OF Canada, cheap be-
cause they yield but one crop a year?
Here in the south, where the crop
is equable. the farmer may produce
two crops on his land, and some have
grown three crops in a year. Our
own farmers should learn the profit
bearing nature Of their investment
and engage more largely in diversified
agriculture. A ten-acre yield of hay
i'll Virginia yielded in one season 5.2
tons to the acre, net profit OF over
S52 per acre. Alfalfa produces from
four TO six tons year, and the price
is from $40 to $25 per ton. This is
the thing for our farmers.

ALL HOPE not FLED.

While the addreHs of Mr.. Fairfax
Harrison was gem in it's way, and
contained much OF local interest the
principal Significance of his visit wos
the TACT that this Is the first place in
South Carolina that he las visited
since he became the president OF the
Southern railway. Mr.. Harrison has
a number OF friends In Anderson. and
they talked with him about railroad
conditions. He was apprised of the
situation here.
AS he said in his address, the great
trunk line of railway must be consid-
cred as whole and its highest inter-
ests administered by the, executive.
but It is also true that The great Sea-
board Air Line railway isi constantly
improving the property that it has,
and yet. is reaching out through the
coastal section of South Carolina and
In few months will be running into

territory. AS Col. JAsnes of Walhalia
said, II would g!yslAA.e people =: tha
world great summer playground to
extend the Blue Ridge on to Knox
vile. opening wonderful reaches os
mountain country.
To those of his friends Ia Anderson
to whom Mr.. Harrison talked he de-
clared that the situation Is not hope
less, but that II the people of this sec
ton wish to get the road built they
must put 1t up I'd the Southern rail-
way in such manner as to make its
force and effect apparent. The South
ern has too many, other big things on
foot to be hunting around for work
to do, but this Undertaking might be
put through IL the matter is handled
right and the pressure is made suffi-
cient. flsft,

SERVICE CONES FIRST.

Has anybody undertaken to prove
That conditions in South Carolina
warrant the passing OF Il two-ccnt rate
bill? We do not believe it can be
done. Merely because il is within the
power Of the Legislature TO pass this
bill Is no reason why it should be
done. The people viii accept it and
be glad TO get 1t, perhaps. but we have
heard Of no clamOring for it.
In fact, we believe What the people
wish is service. Better equipment.
better connections, better service In
every way. And service cannot he
given II the revenues are reduced he
low the point where there is any
profit in the hauling OF passengers
No one wishes to see the railroads
made to lose money, and IL they are
called upon we believe that they can
make showing that the reduced rate
would cause trains TO be operated at
an actual loss.
This whole agitation grew out OF
bhS uioSuSoIOn DtlWppn the roads and
the travelling statesmen several years
ago, and we SUSPECT that the railroads
have brought this thing upon them
selves because they did not act in en-
tire frankness with the travelling
men. who asked for certain conces-
sions in the way OF having mileage
pulled on trains otc
II it can be proved that the two
cent rate will not cripple the service
OF the railroad companies, we say
pass the hill. But let us consider that
railroads pay about half of the taxes
OF the state, and treat them not as
criminals, but as citizens, and II the
passage of law would cripple the
roads, and lower the standard of
service, 1t would be better to with
stay the power of the lawmaking
body. The very-poor do not travel
much anyway and such a law would
not help anybody WHO really needs it.

NOVELIST DELIVERS ADDRESS.
Winston Churchill Talks OF the Realty
OF the Christian Experience.

Aiken, Feb. 25.-.On Sunday morn
ing Winston Churchill, the noted lee
turer, author and former editor, deliv-
cred an address on The Reality of
the Christian Experience" at St
Thaddeus' Episcopal church. Mr.
Churchill is one of Aiken's interesting
winter tourists and OF course the city
is glad that he Is here and Urge
crowd took advantage of the appor-
tunity to hear him last Sunday morn
ing.
Mr.. Churchill is the author of Con
iston," "Fdchard Carvel," The Cross
ing" and other more or less interest
ing novels. His latest book, THE
Inside of the Cup" has been widely re-
viewed in both the United States and
in England and has received much
criticism. Not all of the criticisms
have been kindly but this Is probably
due to the fact that Mr.. Churchill eX-
pressed through his leading character
in this book, his own views Cf the
present day Christianity. These views
are different and are creative of a
new topic OF discussion.
MIR. Churchill's address, or rather
sermon, Sunday morning was on "The
Reality OF the Christian Experience"
He said that at present there was
wave of dissatisfaction sweeping over
the conairy and that this was fore
runner OF better things. This wave
of discomfort, or dissatisfaction, will
cause people to think, cause them to
realize where they are and what they
are doing.
/; MIR. Churchill said that life was a
reality and SO was the Christian ex-
perience.
MIR. Churchill declared that now
everything was being dealt with In a
scientific way, the child problem, the
labor problem. the social evil, etc.
This is the better way and the way
that these things ought to be dealt
with. Science is the hand maiden OF
religion. The church like man is
both huraen and divine
The Joy OF the Christian experience,
mr. Churchill said, was service 'and
that when anyone enters into the
service they will get the Joy and the
reality. The essential thing is faith,
without which We can not work, for
we can not work for something that
we do not believe. We. must realize
that we are making progress.
Religion Is a personal feeling with
God. Sometimes this personal feel
ing is experienced at a time OF sad
ness caused by the death of very
dear friend or o. member OF the fam
lily.
Mr.. Churchill then discussed the
new energy that is created by living
the Christian life. We can see what
the new energy accomplishes but we
can not analyze it. We can only
