Southern Enterprise.

We hear that they are shipping
sacks of china berries North. What
are the Southern people thinking of?
Here is an enterprise right at their
doors. These berries could be made
into a good many ornamental things;
for instance, bead portieres, similar
to those made by the Japs, at a
very little cost. Before our North
ern friends get ahead of Us with
their quick eye for business, selling
us what we could have for very
little cost. These berries have been
made into beautiful, neck chains
which have been sent all over the
country by people here.-M Pleas

Lost Encampment, Says Blease.

Lost Encampment, Says Blease.
Spartanburg, April 23:-Governor
Blease made red-hot speech to an
audience of 1000 on the court house
lawn tonight. He denounced Secre-
tary Garrison as "a little pug-nosed
Yankee" and declared he would
never communicate with him again
until MIR Garrison admitted he had
treated him discourteously. The
Governor also paid his respects to
Secretary Daniels saying ne had
proved him liar. Mr. Blease de-
MED strongly, however, that he was
fighting the National Administration
at Washington.
The Governor explained his libel
action against Editor Moore, of the
Columbia Record, and called him
names which it might be libelous to
publish. William E Gonzales, United
States minister to Cuba, formerly
editor of the Columbia State, and
other prominent newspaper men
also came in for scathing denuncia-
tions.
The crowd begged Governor Blease
to name his choice for his successor.
The Governor declined to do so, but
appealed to his hearers to elect a
Bleaseite.
so far as issues were concerned.
Mr. Blease paid especial attention to
the proposed medical inspection of
school children, compulsory educa-
ton and the movement to restrict
the use of the ballot in primary
elections. He strongly opposed all
three proposals. He advocated the
Fortner bill to keep white teachers
out of negro schools. The crowd
vigorously cheered the Governor.
Governor Blease addressed an au-
dience of four or five hundred farm
ers on the court house lawn this af-
ternoon. He told his friends to be
sure to attend the Democratic pre-
cinct club meetings, so as to thwart
the effort of the Governors enemies
to restrict the use of the ballot in
the Democratic primary this sum-
mer.
Speaking of the action of Secre-
tary Garrison in taking away from
South Carolina the military encamp-
ment which was to have been held
at the Isle of Palms, Governor
Blease said Mr. Garrison had treated
him discourteously and never had
replied to his letter he had written
the Secretary. Governor Blease said
the only people who were sorry
that the Isle of Palms was not going
to get the encampment were blind
tigers" gamblers and keepers of
dives. He said the encampment
would not be anything but "a grand
drunk" anyway, and the best peo-
pie of Charleston didn't want it.
The Governor said he was proud
of his pardon record and had about
l20 more prisoners to turn loose, in
addition to more than 1900 he had
already released. This was cheered
by the crowd.

to arm the negroes for service in the
Union Army. The small Confederate

manded by Gen. Joseph Ftnegan. On

bad. In such cases dairy cows fur nish the means for converting these crops into finished products which are easily transported and which bring good prices.
 Dairying also enables the farmer to utilize for feed and bedding large quantities of roughage, such as straw, corn stover, shucks, and coarse and weedy hay, which can not ordinarily be sold in the market.
 Often two crops can be grown on the same land in one season. By growing such crops as corn, sorghum, cea vines, etc, after the wheat, oat, or rye crop has been cleared off, excel lent feed crops can be provided at minimum cost of growing, because of the small amount of cultivation nee cssaty. These crops can be preserv- cd in the silo, and thus the cows are provided with good succulent feeds for winter feeding and when pastur- age is short With roots, legumin- ous hay, si!age, stover, straw, and the aottonseaI meal obtained by exchang- .ag cotton seed, &ll the feed for the COWS is raised on the farm.

weather, help is not needed in the cot ton fields or when steady work is scarce or lacking altogether. With cash coming in every week or month better class of labor can be employ ed.
 On farms where there are children of 8 years older dairying furnishes them with rrofitable employment which does not interfere with their attendance at school. They can as sist in milking and other work before and after school and in this way con tribute materially to the income oi the farm.
 Dairying Improves the Soil Dairying furnishes large quantities of manure for the cotton fields and thereby returns to the land about 75 1 per cent of the fertilizer value of the crops which the cows have consumed. Likewise the cottonseed meal, so largely used as a nitrogenous fertili- ger, is one of the best producing feeds and loses only small percen tage of it's fertilizing value when fed to cows. Every garden spot in the South is a monument to the value of manure.
 4 good system of dairy farming lrests upon crop rotation, which in itself restores fertility to the land, for the raising of feed is necessary to the profitable keeping of cows, and the best feeds for them are the legumin- Ious crops, su'h as soy bean, vetches, laspedeza and other clovers, velvet beans, alfalfa, etc. These crops are .preeminently soil builders, since they gather nitrogen from the air. Nitro Igen is the most expensive element cf fertilizers, and it is g valuable part .of a ration for dairy cows. The rota- tion CT crops and the manure from the COWS continually going to the land will soon double the production of cotton per acre and at the same time decrease the fertilizer bills. This in creased production will enable the farmer to raise on 6 smaller area Of
 and as much cotton as, or more than, he does at present.
 Dairying Provides Market for Feed
 Crops
 Dairying furnishes good home market for all the feed crops which can be grown on the farm. In rural districts and small towns the local markets for most of these crops are very limited, and often times the com parativeiy small amounts possessed by the farmer make it improbable to transport them to the larger markets. This is especially true if the roads are

ADVANTAGES OF DAIRYING IN
 THE SOUTH

(Prepared in the Dairy Division of the Bureau of Animal Husbandry.)
 In many sections of the South one crop cotton-growing system prevails. Certain evils produced by this system are very fotcibly demonstrated on many farms, among which are CD a cash income but once a year, CD an unequal distribution of labor through out the year, and (3) impoverishment of the soil.
 Dairying Provides Steady Cash
 Income
 A one-crop cotton growing system forces a great many farmers either to borrow money with which to make the crop or to buy supplies on a time basis. High rates of interest must be paid The merchant who furnishes the supplies also frequently does busi- ness on borrowed capital. What the South needs is not the abandonment of cotton growing, but the weaving into the farming system of something that will in itself be profitable and al- so furnish ready cash throughout the year. Dairying meets these require ments. It is adaptable to the condi- tions of the large and the small farm CT, whether he owns or rents the land.
 Dairying, properly conducted, is a profitable business and safe and steady line of farming affected less by uncertainties of weather extremes or late seasons than many cropping systems. It is cash business, fur nishing a sure and reliable income, puts the farm on cash basis, and thus saves the high rates of interest paid for money on short loans and the high prices charged for supplies bought on credit. On large propor- tion of the farms in the South small herds of good dairy COWS will furnish enough ready cash to finance the mak- ing of the cotton crop and at the end of the year leave the money received from the cotton as a clear cash profit. Such a plan, more than anything else, will eliminate the old lien system, which keeps many farmers one year behind.
 Dairying Equalizes Distribution of
 Labor Throughout the Year.
 Dairying furnishes profitable en- ployment for labor and equalizes the distribution throughout the year. The gathering of bedding, hauling of ma nure, repairing of fences, etc, furnish paying work for the farm hands at seasons when. on account of wet

OUT OF A JOB.

The cry is sometimes made that if saloons are voted out saloonkeepers will lose their jobs and their families will suffer. Did it ever occur to you, pertinently asks an exchange, that if the saloons are not voted out, hun- dreds of the patrons of the saloons will lose their jobs and their families will suffer?
 When a saloonkeeper puts man out of a job, he disgraces the man and his family. and units him for an- other job. When prohibition puts a saloonkeeper out of a job, he be- comes a more honorable citizen, his family becomes more honorable and the community secures a wealth-pro- ducing workman instead of a wealth. destroying workman.
