Yes, we still think it was a useless
waste to erect the new courthouse on
the site Of the old building, which
could have been sold for quite a large
sum.

Although not overshadowing every
thing, war news is exciting much in
terest. The people are looking for a
terrific battle, one Of the greatest the
world has ever seen, and they are i'm
patient to hear the dreadful figures.
The county campaign, generally
speaking. is pretty dull and uninterest-
ing. except for the diversion that Mr..
Hutchinson is making in connection
with alleged boss rule and the manner
in which he claims the cards were
stacked against him. Mr.. Hutchisor
was in Yorkville yesterday morning,
and in discussing the progress of his
campaign, remarked that although the
gentlemen who are charged by him as
having the endorsement Of the caucus
were at first disposed to make eX-
plantations, ETC., they have since adopt
ed a policy Of silence.

the fight with Germany and Austria,
against Russia, France, England, Bel
gium. Portugal and Japan. We hope
that no such fate awaits us. We realize
however, the great danger to which the
Philippines expose us. We have al
ways believed that the United States
made a mistake in ever buying the
Philippines, and believe it would now
be good policy to give them to some
other nation or allow them to set up
a republic of their Own.-Pee Dee
Daily.
If we should attempt to comment on
each and every silly suggestion like the
above, we would have but little time or
space for anything else. and besides
there would be danger Of encouraging
notion among our readers that we
are aspiring to the office Of fool kill
err" and we would not relish such
situation; especially in view of the fact
that we have plenty of other work to
keep us busy.
OF course no living man can tell what
may come out of this great European
war, and we do not hesitate to admit
the possibility that the United States
may become involved; but we do not
think that such a thing is probable, and
least of all do we consider the possibil-
ity that America can or Will CLASH
with England. America can afford
such a thing, but England cannot, and
she is not going to try, and as for ia
pan, we respect the courage of that
plucky little nation, and we also have
some confidence in her discretion. ia
pan accomplished wonders in getting
the best of Russia, Notwithstanding the
fact that Russia was several thousand
miles from her base of supplies; but
Japan nor no other country can re-
verse those conditions in the case of
nation like America and make any con-
siderable impression. We do not think
there has ever been any reasonable
probability of war with Japan and we
do not think there is such probability
now.
AS to the Philippines, at the time
they were taken there was nothing else
for this country to do. 1t has never
been the purpose of this country to
hold these islands any longer than was
necessary to put them in shape to gov
ern themselves, anu lIoli lile pio6i Cos
that has been made it will be only
few years until that time arrives But
the United States is not going to either
give away or sell the Philippines, and
we do not think any other country is
either going to try to take them away
from us or attempt to interfere with
them after we have seen proper to set
them up for themselves.
Treaties of alliance and all that to
the contrary, England would throw
Japan down a half a dozen times be-
fore she would tackle the United States
once, and the United States is no more
anxious to tackle England than Eng
land is to tackle the United States

Wa ORC nubliShinp q brief outline O

We are publishing a brief outline OF
the talks of the Farmers Institute lee
turers in Yorkville, last Wednesday.
The message of these gentlemen is:
Winter cover crops, especially the le-
gumes; feed cotton seed meal to live
stock and take care of the manure;
fertilize the soil by plowing under veg
citation; stop throwing away money on
high priced readymiXed fertilizers and
do the mixing at home. All of this
doctrine is good. 1t is directed against
the errors of generations, and the prac-
tice of il will mean the early rehabili-
tation Of this country. Some OF our
most thoughtful and progressive farm
ers have already gone far enough to
prove the correctness of what the eX-
perts are telling, and all that is neces-
sary is for the practice to become gen.
eral

Some of the military experts claim
that air craft will determine the re-
suit of the great European war now
in progress. They represent that
ability to tell exactly what the enemy
is doing is an advantage that cannot
be overcome. Where each side is able
to tell what the other is doing, the is
sue must be determined by battles in
the air. The final victor in the air
who will still be in a position to OBJ
serve the enemy, will win out in the
whole thing. This sounds more or
less plausible; but it is hardly to be
accepted as final. 1t is probable that
still other important considerations
will remain after one side or the 9TH
er has been deprived Of its ability to
navigate the air.

If there is one principle Of govern
ment in which we believe more than
another, it is the rule of the people.
We most heartily commend the position
taken by Mr. NJ. l.. Smith in regard 10
the elimination conference" There
are few people who do much serious
thinking, who have not from time TO
time. been confronted with the fear
that both the state and national gov
ernments were rapidly on the way to
the "demnition bow-wowS." 1t is not
uncommon for such people to be so
obsessed with the idea that they
would be willing to give up their very
lives if necessary, to prevent Such
catastrophe. And such people are not
to be discounted either, for they are
honest; but we have reached a point
where, somehow, when we hear or
suggestion like this, we are reminded
of the reply of the wag when asked
where a certain road went. He sald:
Il have been living here by the side OF
that road all my life, and it has never
gone nowhere yet" And as we see 1t,
South Carolina still lacks Il great deal
of having gone to the "demnition bow
vows" Now, while the gentlemen
who got up that elimination confer.
ence, may be very sincere in the beilef
that the sole and only purpose is To
save the state" ii occurs to us thas
maybe the people whom they seem to
fear so much may be about as much
concerned about saving the state as
they are and fully as competent to DO
the lob. OF course it would not be falr
to charge that that elimination buSl-
ness was purely political; but there
are many people who will not believe
ANYTHING else. They think that the
eliminators who want to save the state
have in mind the idea of saving it for
themselves only. and it is quite evil
dent that NJ. l.. Smith i' beginning
to see il that way. But whether the
eliminatorS are working in accordance
with selfish designs or not, one thing
is pretty certain, and that thing Is
that the people-a majority of the
white people of South Carolina-cOn-
stitute the best reliance the state has
for political salvation. And when the
people choose, ii will be all right.
There is nothing demaGogic in the plea
to trust the people"

On this question Of law enforcement,
we want to say that in so far as we can
see neither side has it on the other to
a very great extent. There has been
no more lawlessness in South Carolina
during the past three years than dur
ing the previous eight years. This is a
statement of fact, backed by the sta
tistics There have been done things
during the past three years that We do
not approve Of as we understand them;
but there are other things during the
previous eight years that are not to be
approved. The principal individual
concern among all those who are run
ming for office is to get elected and we
cannot make much else Of it except
that the outs are trying to get in ana
the ins are trying to stay in So far
as the people as whole are concerned,
the situation will not be changed, eth
er way any of the elections go. Of
course. whichever way the fight goes
there will be victory or defeat for the
people who win or lose, and that is
pretty much the whole situation. About
all we care for is a free ballot, fair
count and the prevalence of the will or
a majority of the people.

That is mighty good doctrine the
demonstration experts are preaching
about mixing of fertilizers at home.
Any farmer who wants full informa-
ton as to how to proceed, can easily
get it. The one great barrier in the way
is the system that has been built up for
the sale Of commercial fertilizers on
credit. There are farmers who can buy
tons Of ready mixed fertilizers; but
who are unable to make any kind of an
arrangement by which they can buy
the phosphoric acid, ammonia and pot
ash contained therein. There is need
for somebody to arrange to sell the far
mers the raw chemicals with which to
make their own fertilizers, and mer
who are able to buy what they need,
should at once begin trying to inform
themselves as to how much they are
losing in the purchase of the ready
mixed stuff.

"If you are going to sever your bank
ing and business connections said
Senator Reed. "it must be at a tre-
mendous financial sacrifice "A
sacrifice, yes" Mr. Warburg replied.
II think it will be a bigger sacrifice
than any of these gentlemen around
the table has any idea Of When
President Wilson asked me whether
would take this thing and put it up
to me in a very kind way. and asked
if l were willing to make the sacri-
flee. because he thought that l was
the man for it, I felt that 1 had no
right to decline and l will be glad to
make the sacrifice because 1 think
there is a wonderful opportunity for
bringing a great piece of constructive
work into successful operation and II
appeals to me to do that" The pres
ent currency law, Mr.. Warburg deem
ed superior to the Aldrich bill. The
weakness of the present law, he said,
lay in the fact that "the Federal re-
serve board has got to have very
large powers in order to overcome the
decentralization" Questioned as to
his politics, he said that basically he
was a Republican. but in the last con-
test he was for Wilson.

The firm of ]. p. Morgan & Co., de-
sires to float a loan of one hundred
million dollars in the United States
for the French government; but the
president is said to be opposed to the
idea. AS yet he has declined to ac-
knowledge the propriety of the prece-
dent that is being cited in the case Of
the loan that was floated in this coun-
try for Japan during the Russo-Ja-
panese war. He thinks that the policy
of this country should be to follow
such course as will shorten the dura-
ton of the European war as much as
nnSSible.

stressed the subject of growing more
leguminous crops, thereby adding to
the soil humus and nitrogen, the most
valuable elements that go to make UP
soil and plant growth. He went fur-
ther and said that we would always
need phosphoric acid: but by growing
legumes, we could cut out the use or
high priced treated phosphoric acid
and use more crude ground phosphate
rock, which could be bought at very
small cost. He also stated that he
hoped our legislature would soon pass
"a law requiring the manufacturers or
fertilizers to state on the sack the eX-
act source from which nitrogen was
derived so as to cut out the cheap
non -availables. He stated that most
farmers use side applications and top
dressers at too late date for most
crops to get best results. Cotton seed
meal should be fed to live stock, he
said, instead Of applying 1t directly to
the soil, thereby causing the raising
of more livestock, and at the same
time getting 80 per cent Of the plant
food from the cotton seed meal in the
manure. On the whole, Mr.. Harper's
talk was practical and full Of good
thought, and was well received.
Mr.. p. n. Calvin, the next speaker,
based the greater part Of his remarks
upon the different kinds Of livestock
that could be raised at profit in
York county, and at the same time, go
to help building up our depleted worn
outsoils. He stressed the wisdom Of
going into the livestock business on a
small, conservative basis and growing
into instead Of going into the business.
He urged the Importance Of pure bred
sires being used to our common DANES.
thereby bringing our stock to high
class grades. He said that we could
never hope to be a cattle country or
note, but we could do much better than
at present, without great deal OF ad-
ditional cost He showed some very in
teresting data as to the cost OF raising
mules and hogs as compared to buy
ing them. He said that we must have
pastures before we could raise stock
at a minimum cost, saying that the best
definition that he could give OF
South Carolina pasture was that it Is
an inclosure where grass didn't grow.
In conclusion, he said that we could
certainly grow enough hogs for our
home need and at profit.
Mr.. A. A. McKeown, the last speak
er on the programme, discussed the
subject of soil fertility, especially by
the growing Of the clovers and vetches
and by the use Of lime and phosphate
rock He said that most farmers were
dead to the use Of the soil, and didn't
know It, He dealt at length upon the
need Of lime to correct the acidity OF
our soils and explained it's Importance
in the growing Of most Of the legumes.
If there is any one thing that we need
in our soils, he said, is more vegeta-
ton.

Destruction of Bird Life.
Of the Fort Mill Boy Scouts, when in
Yorkville, Tuesday night, in talking OF
the boys passing through the hail dis
trict, said that standing on a hill
mile south Of Fort Mill and looking
across the hills to EbeneZer church,
the entire distance to Concord church,
nearly ten miles, could be distinctly
traced across the high ridges by the
damaged trees; the dead leaves Civ
ing the appearance Of having been
swept by a great forest fire. Before
we started across the nail SectlOn,
said Mr.. Carothers, Il told the boys
wanted them to pay particular atten-
ton to the bird life in the hail zone,
and keep a count Of all the birds they
could see. After we got past the hail
strip only four birds were reported by
the boys, and ! guess they were about
correct in the count There seems to
have been a complete destruction Of all
bird life, rabbits, toads and even liz
yards in all Of the hail zone"

FARMERS, INSTITUTE MEETING

The farmers institute meeting, under
the auspices of the farmers c0-opera-
tive demonstration work and Clemson
college extension division. was held in
the auditorium of the Yorkville Grad
ed school. on Wednesday. The meet
ing was presided over by j. r. Blair,
demonstration agent of York county,
and the following speakers were pres
ent: Prof. J. n. Harper. head of the
South Carolina experimental station
at Clemson college: Mr.. p. n. Calvin,
live stock expert, L. S. department OF
agriculture and Mr.. \. \. Mckeown,
local demonstration agent of Rock
Hill.
Prof. Harper was the first speaker
of the day, and spoke upon commercial
fertilizers and general agriculture. He
ridiculed the farmers of South Caro-
lima for spending $25.O0OOOO annually
for fertilizers. which added nothing
to the fertility Of the soil. He

We do not take any stock whatever
in the idea of government loans on
cotton in private warehouses. 1t will
be impossible to perfect a management
of that kind that will not cost the
owner of the cotton too much in the
way of storage, interest, etc. 1t is the
farmer in whom we are most interest
ed in the matter, and we do not think
the farmer can be best taken care of
at private warehouse. There is GER
tainly need for something to be done
to safeguard the money value of cot
ton; but unless the producer of the
cotton is to get Il fair share of the
benefits Of such eXpedient as may be
adopted, we don't care much about it.
Ii is the man who produces the cotton
that needs to be taken care of.

There seems to be a common idea
among a certain class Of politicians that
the majority vote in South Carolina is
ignorant and purchasable and they try
TO go after it with dollars. 1t is no
doubt fact that there are purchas-
able votes in this county; but it would
be a mistake to assume that they are
all on one side. 1t is still worse mis-
take to assume that because a man is
opposed to you, he is influenced by
motives less honest and sincere than
