THE "WAR" IN MEXICO.

Just where the firing into the Mex
lean port OF Vera Cruz. and the tax
ms Of the customs house and other
buildings in chat city. VIII end. it is
hard to say. TO Us the action apDcars
to be the entering wedge that must
he followed by a more general move
ment on the part Of the United States
to the end that the nhuman and an
archistic conditions that have pre-
vailed in Mexico for the past months
must cease. The end, we believe, is
by no means in sight
The comparatively trivial orfcnsc
that brought about an armed demon
start'on by our government was not
cause of war, nor. indeed, has war
been declared; but it seems impos-
SIbl" to even imagine any situation
now thal can avert a decl2tauOn of
war. Certainly there has been
abundant proyoca;iun. and if our
government has erred in the matter.
It has done SO drcading to inflict
greater hardships upon suffering
p"nnlc. The murder Of American
'i'/"hS IN McNico has offered abund-
AM cause tor Intervention on 0ur
TArt, but President Wilson has al
low Il the nation to suffer long and
much rather than add to the horrors
oi the situation. The open affront to
the sailors OF the American navy was
Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1914-04-22

as a common enemy, but this Is hard
ly to be expected. All Mexico hates
America, but they hate each other
scarcely less. One thing is certain,
however, and that is that, whether
the mOngrel factions form an alli-
ance among themselves or not, we
nave to face ali Mu%ico in this fight
to the end, whatever that may be.
The outcome is sure, but there Is
reasonable question as to whether
the end will be soon.
Mexico will come out OF the fray
better off than she went into the in
ternal strife several years ago. The
Intervention Of our government in
the interest OF some sort Of n settle
ment Of internal strife in Mexico has
been looked upon as inevitable. The
pity OF it Is that our forces were not
put on Mexican territory long since
and the slaughter OF this ignorant
and unfortunate people stopped in
its early stages.

THE POLITICAL POT.

For the past few days the prcsi-
dents and secretaries Of the local
Democratic clubs over OConCe have
been gathering together the sticks
that will kiudlc the first campaign
fires for the year 1914, and these
will be lighted next Saturday, when
the local clubs will meet. rcorganiHe
and elect delegates to the County
Convention to be held in Walhalla
on Monday, May lth. From that date
on the fires Of thc campaign will
burn brighter, and the last ombcr
will not die out until after the second
primary election.
Let us keep Oconcc politics ON Il
nigh plane. Let us not faN ont with
our nCighbOrS if we cannot agree on
the men We are to support, ana let
Us. above all, lose sight Of men and
stand NOR" for measures and prin-
cipIos: look higher than personali-
tics and seek TO discover what is best
Tor our county and our State and our
nation. and then seek those who
seem to measure nearest up to the
needs Of the times, and support
those who appeal to our better iudg-
mcnt, regardless Of personal FRIEND
ship, regardless Of personal preju-
diCCs.
Let the campaign year Of 1914 go
down in history as a year when the
voter looked to the highest ideals as
She inspiration for zeal in the matter
vi selecting those who shall serve;
let those who would serve the peo-
pie consider the qualifications they
may possess. and let no unworthy
person be exalted to any position Of
honor trust
1t is high time that we shall begin
TO consider the public interests in the
same light that we view our own af-
fairs. We give care and thought to
The selection of those to whom we
entrust our business interests. Let
rs realize that the public interests
are higher than our individual inter

hcials with the same degree of con-
"ern that we would if we were select

our own.
Let us all resolve that this shall
be our aim. Let prejudice, personal
likes or diSlikcs be lost sight Of in
Wholesome desire to give to the
public the very best servants within
our power. Nothing short Of that
end should be satisfactory.

TWO-YEAR ROTATION CONTEST
Opportunity for Boys to Make Good.
They Need encouragement.

Brother farmer. this is a very un-
usual spring. | trust that you will
hold your nerve and let nature have
its way. DO no. undertake to plant
or prepare until the ground is dry
enough. Plant less cotton and more
corn, peas. potatoes. mOlasses cane
and forage crops. DO some work in
your pastures, SOW grasses, clear UP
your pasture lands. Plant a seed
patch OF corn; also of cotton, and
use the best seeds obtainable. Run
smoothing harrow over your lands
ana young crops.
The Department of Agriculture
has planned for a corn contest Of five
DoNS-a tWO-ycar rotation. on poor
land. They can remain in this con-
tos, even If they do become IS years
OF age during this period Of time
We want YOU to plant this plot of
land two years in succession in corn,
with a prize offered for each year,
III" greater prize to be given the sec

Boys, now is your time. Come
across, and | will help YOU all can;
and YOU know can. for have raised
a family Of twelve children, preached
twelve years without pay. and made
enough on poor land to pay for a
farm during this time.
Parents, please encourage your
children. They must have encour-
agcmcnt. | greatly appreciate the
interest my friends, j. p. Stribling
and J. II. Barnett, have shown by
ohering their liberal prizes for the
encouragement Of this all-important
work. | wonder if any one else is
sufficiently interested in this work to
do likewise.
| would like to call the attention
or the trustees Of the rural schools
In our county to the fact that some
OF them have teachers employed who
nave not interest enough in the
school, nor public spirit enough. to
even shut the school house door Fri
day afternoons. Any fellow who Is
'on his Job" for the loaves and
fishes alone is too narrow to be a
school teacher. Our school houses
and school grounds, public roads,
churches and rural homes speak
louder for our country than the
towns, cities and railroads.

In fertiliZing your cotton and corn
care should be taken to apply at least
600 pounds Of high grade fish, blood
and bone fertilizer to the acre for the
hest and most lasting results. Where
less than 600 pounds of fertilizer is
used W the acre it acts as Il Stimulant
only, and the crop takes more plant
food from the soil than it furnishes,
and your soil runs down, but where
you use 600 pounds or more of fine
fertilizer to the acre you furnish the
soil with more plant food than the
crop takes from it, and your soil inn
proves. And besides, the more fer
tiiiZer you use, bhe faster your crop
grows and the quicker your land is
shaded and you know that is an ad-
vantage. And then with heavy ferti-
liZatiOn you have larger stalks, more
limbs and leaves and boIIs. This
gives You more vegctaIir matter for
nishes humus for the soil and soil
without humus is like leather with
out Oii-its usefulness is greatly i'm
paired. And then heavy fertilization
makes more b0lls and this makes
more bales, and there is where You
make your monev i'm farming.
The difference i'm cost of fcrtiliZ-
ing an acre with 400 pounds and 600
pounds of fertilizer Is around Ss3 an
acre. The difference i'm the crop Will
be at least 100 POUNDS Of lint cotton,
Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1914-04-22

ana ad present prices that is little
the rise OF $13. That is how it pays.
There is no doubt OF its paying, and
600 pounds to the acre will pay bet
ter than 400 pounds or 300 pounds.
Unless the ground is i'm an unusually
high state of cultivation we doubt if
IL VIII pay to use more than 600
pounds To the acre for cotton or
corn. If your lands are red our 3.3-3
or our 0-3-3 or our 1898 is about
what you need.
III your lands are gray use our
S-4-f or our 10-4-1. If you are q lit
tie late i'm planting use our 1888 or
our 1O-i-4, as the extra per centage
Of phosphOric acid will hasten the
growth and maturity of your cotton.
If You don't care to use 600 pounds
to the acre on all your crop, try il on
half and see where you make your
money.
We are getting out fish, blood
and bone goods that has no equal.
and farmers using it this year will
have an advantage in crOp-making
that people who are deprived of it
will not understand.
We hope you have noticed the
analysis OF our goods this year, issued
by Clemson College. Not single
sample has fallen down. The analy-
