He Was.

Jack London, the novelist, was
contrasting the acquittal of mil
lionaire manufacturer on a dynamite
planting charge with the severe SEN
tence imposed on poor editor for
too strongly championing the Pat
terson strikers.
The rich are overlenient!y dealt
with in our courts" he said. "and
the poor are overharshly dealt with.
This will keep on until the American
people come to respect only honest
wealth-till they come to regard all
wealth gained through trickery and
deceit as the Englishman did.
This Englishman, at a dinner in
New York hailed with delight the
conviction by the courts of an Ameri-
can who had stolen millions by
means of bogus mines.
But a friend of the criminal
heaved a sigh and said:
Poor old Charlie! His hearts in
the right place, anyway

so, thank heavens, is the rest of him

Quite SO.

At a club frequented by doctors
the discussion came up recently
whether a person could live without
a brain. During the discourse one
of the doctors said: When | was
practicing medicine in Indiana a re-
markable case came under my super
vision. A man. while out hunting,
had leaned upon his shotgun and the
weapon had gone off accidentally,
making a large wound in his head
lust above the ear. The brain was
laid bare and in bringing the patient
to the hospital handful of the gray
matter leaked out. He was trenan-
ned and finally recovered, his mental
faculties apparently as good as ever. "
Your story is interesting, inter-
rupted an auditor. but it sounds to
me somewhat inconsistent.
Because" answered the other
doctor, IF he had ever had hand
full of brains he wouldn't have leaned
on the gun National Monthly.

Not Sherman'S ''War Is He'll"

General Sherman never said it. We
have long been looking for this fact
to develop or at least for strong evil
dence against the authenticity of the
famous remark. 1t seemed as though
here must be one of those sayings
which have floated about from time
immemorial simply tackled on to
some appropriate name. No one will
question the appropriateness in Gen.
eral Sherman's case, although we
have accounted it to him for great
righteousness that he quit fighting
with the end of the war. He loathed
reconstruction, the half-bigoted, half
vindictive trampling upon conquered
fellow-Americans. He saw its full
meaning and its full impossiblllty,
for, as military instructor at South
ern schools, he had lived in the
South and become personally ac-
.ouainted with southern conditions.
Sherman had the idea to fight and
destroy as ruthlessly as might be re-
quired for victory, but after this OBJ
iect was attained to shake hands and
be friends. In fact, nearly all the
real soldiers, including Grant, felt
very much the same way; it was the
politicians who waved the bloody
shirt as long as the waving was
good-which period did not entirely
vanish until the Spanish-American
war. While the Civil war was on
Sherman no doubt expressed the
sentiment of his supposed remark
many a time. But he probably did
not make the particular phrase. He
was said to have made it in reply to
the women of Atlanta. What pur-
port to be the exact facts, verified by
the official record, are set forth in
communication from one Of his old
soldiers to the New York World.
1t was not the woman of Atlanta
but the mayor, we are told, who had
protested against Sherman's order
for the removal of all inhabitants.
The WRITER, H. J. Hoffman, of Jersey
City, personally heard the reply, and
the record corresponds perfectly with
: his memory. Il cannot discuss this
subject with you fairly said Gen
eral Sherman, because | cannot I'M
part to you what purpose to do, but
I assert that my military plans make
it necessary for the inhabitants to 60
away. and / can only renew my offer
of services to make their exodus in
any direction as easy and comfort
able as possible. You cannot qualify
war in harsher terms than | will.
War is cruelty, and you cannot re-
fine it. You might as we'll appeal
against the thunderstorm as against
these terrible hardships OF war. They
are inevitable" We are willing to
let the grim old Tecumseh Sherman,
fittingly named for the ablest and
most resolute of Indian warriors.
continue in memory with the words.
War is hell" on his lips. He him
self would not object; We believe he
had the chance to object before his
death in 1891. This phrase has
done good in world too much in
clined to war. And Atlanta did not
suffer permanently by whatever
Sherman said or did; she regained
her inhabitants and has added few
more since then. But when it comes
to a strict matter or history let us
be historical, above all things

SELECT SEED CORN.
Field Selection of Corn One of Most
Profitable Operations on Farm.

Clemson College, Sept 15.--Select-
ing seed corn is one of theImost prof
table operations on the iarm, in
proportion to time and expense in
volved. This is the opinion of the
ag~onomy division of Clemson col
lege, which urges South Carolina
farmers not to forget to make field
selections of the ears that will he
used as the source of seed for next
years corn crop. Good seed is one
OF the most important factors in the
production of good corn crop and
corn is perhaps more easily improved
by the average farmer than almost
any other crop.
Prof. ". L. Hutchinson, of the
agronomy division of Clemson COL
lege, advises that the field selection
of seed corn take place just before
the corn is gathered and that about
fifty ears be selected for every acre
that is to be planted the next season.
Fo-. though it requires only IS to 20
ears of corn to plant an acre, the
corn selected in the field must go
through another test if the farmer
wishes to get really marked improve
ment in yield and quality, and he will
need a good number to choose from.
The seed corn discarded alter the
winter termination test will still be
better than average seed and can
often be sold to advantage, Or used
as fodder corn seed.
One practice that interferes seri-
ously with corn improvement in this
State, according to Prof. Hutchinson,
is fodder pulling. By pulling, fodder
before corn is mature, one Injuries
the quality of the corn by checking
the full development Of the ear. If
a man insists on pulling fodder, yet
desires to select his seed corn in the
field, he should go through the fed
before fodder pulling and mark the
stalks from which he intends to take
the seed ears. These stalks are 20
be untouched when the fodder is
pulled; from the field.
Every man must make up lis mind
as to the kind of corn he desires to
select and his selection should be as
uniform as possible. In the South
there is a strong leaning toward pro-
life types of corn, but experiments
have demonstrated that nothing is to
be- gained by selecting seed from
corn that bears more than two ears
to the stalk.
A point to look for is height OF
ears from the ground. Select ears
that are rather low on the stalk, as
high ears make the stalks top heavy.
A long shank is another undesirable
point that should be avoided when
selecting.
The type of stalk from which the
ears come is important. Select from
stalks that are vigorous, that stand
up straight, and that are strong at
the bottom and tapering toward the
top. Be sure to select from those
stalks that have had an average
chance. If stalk has become strong
er by having more room than an
average stalk has, it will not profit
to select from this, since favorable
opportunities cannot be inherited
and corn from such stalk may be
of poor quality when grown under
average conditions.

MANNING THANKS STATE.
Considers Result of Campaign a Tri-

COlOmDla, sept. 9.-HoFet Ao4
elect Richard /. Manning spent the
day in the city, returning to his
home at Sumter this afternoon. The
next governor was the recipient OF
many congratulations while here and
was kept busy responding to the
hearty greetings of his many admir-
ers and supporters in Columbia. MY
Manning lunched with Representa-
tive Dick, of Sumter. and Christie
Benet, of this city, and before leaving
gave out a formal statement, in
which he expressed his appreciation
to the people of South Carolina. Mr.
Manning thanked the people and the
press for their work and promised
to be governor of all the people. His
formal statement follows:
q wish to express my thanks to
the whole people of South Carolina.
The tremendous vote received
means but one thing-that the prin-
ciples l advocate, law and order
peace and harmony, struck respon-
sive chord in the hearts of our peo-
pie.
Thanks to All.
Il cannot single out any set of
men to whom the result Of this cleo
ton is due, since so many men in so
many places worked so steadfastly
and 50 earnestly for our cause. To
the farmers. the merchants, the me-
chanics, the textile workers, the
travelling and professional men, and
to all others who contributed to the
wonderful result, my profound
thanks are due and are hereby given.
1t will be physically impossible for
me to express my heartfelt apprecia-
ton to the loyal friends who worked
with and for me except in this state
ment to the public.
Il would be wide of the mark if
did not express my earnest appre-
citation of the splendid work done by
the newspapers of the State. The
press as a whole was untiring in its
effort to show the people only the
true issues and to present public
matters in a true light.
The Sumter People.
''It would be ingratitude on my
part, however, not to mention es-
pecialy the loyal support given me
by my home people, in Sumter, and
by the members of the Young Mems
Manning club, of Sumter, whose 10y
atty and devotion were source of
strength and inspiration to me
throughout the long campaign.
II consider the result of the cam
paign of 1914 triumph for all the
agencies which work for the moral
uplift of our people, and not as a
personal victory.
I'm conclusion l wish to say, as
have said many times before, that as

will not recognize any faction, but
that will serve the whole people to
