To the Press Of the State:


Some weeks ago there appeared in
the National Field. the weekly farm
paper owned by the National Farm
ers' Union. circular letter sent ont
by Dallas hardware firm urging
their retail stores 10 demand of the
farmers that they sell cotton and nav
their accounts, so that the retailer
could pay the wholesaler ana so on.
President Lewis of the TeA ls State
Farmers Union answered this circu-
lar letter effectively when he said
"Why is the farmer picked out as the
only one who is to sell his wares at
cost or below to keep trade moving?',
1t was announced that q New York
f1rm was so much pleased. with this
circular that they would send out ten
thousand copies in the east, of.course:
without the answer OF the Texas Far
mers' Union. A Charleston, newspa-
per published 1t aud perhaps other
papers in the State also, From. the
standpoint Of the merchant 1t sounds
like good advice.
Taking up the circular Mr. Ksnouf,
q hardware salesman of Florence, I
am informed, has published several
letters giving farmers down the coun-
try" for not selling their cotton ana
paying their detts. One of his pet
sentiments Is Farmers, what would
you do Il notices were posted Saying
NO goods sold. after Jan. LIST, 1915,
except for cask?" He then proceeds 20
read q good lecture of about three
sSIrtns OF q :0iuTan TO the farmersi os
the need to them OF being honest, etc:
When read his first letter, I was
disposed to be provoked at what .ar-
peaped to be part of q conspiracy
OF the Texas hardware house to force
the farmers to e',Ia ffice cotton to
maintain the credit and standing of
merchants But when Mr.. Knous re-
peated and I saw how seriously he
took himself 1t became amusing.

would happen, IL the merchants could
be persuaded to- put up such q sign?

Dear Mr.. Editor:
In reading the morning paper I no.
tice that in speaking Of the meeting
OF the governors OF the Anderson Re-
lief Association last night you say
no names were mentioned of those
who have been aiding In this most,
commendable work, and IL occurred to
me that the name OF the Anderson
Daily Inteliigencer should have been
mentioned. forceably and with express
sions OF gratitude and appreciation
for such an aid. This is the opinion of
all who are interested in this noble
work. The Intelligencer wes the first
to come forward and offer its office az
q repository to receive contributions
and has been acting as a bureau of
relief. Not only in this way, but CIV
ing its columns to make known any
need that has come to its notice and
urging response from the generous
public such as the Anderson public
has always been in time OF trouble of
any kind. / am sure it was not an in
tentional slight on the part, of the
governors but only an oversight that
they will be the first, gladly, to cor
rect. In the mantime. allow me to saw
all honor and praise is due the Ander-
son Intelligencer in this great and
good work. from one who reads and
admires your good paper.

A RACE RIOT

AS rule race riots are participated
In by the worst elements of the two
RACES involved. The worst el,(nent
of the white race figures in q riot
which Is reported In O. South Carolina
village near the Georgia line
The correspondent at Fair Play
says:
Trouble between the races has
been brewing for days. and came to a
head when white man, said to be
Woodrow Campbell. and George Glib
son, q young negro, quarreled over
Gibson's attentions to a mullato wo-
man. Negroes sided with Gibson, and
last night the friends of Campbell
formed a mob and took ION Springht,
la negro, across the Savannah River
into Georgia and gave him a terrible
beating.
Gibson and his father, Green Glib
son, arrived on the bridge in a bug
gy and demanded that the bridge be
cleared Of the mob So that they Iaight
pass. Walking to the buggy, one OF
the men said to young Gibson:
You are the one we want
Gibson was pulled from the buggy.
He resisted and escaped. The escape
only infuriated the mob more. He was
chased and after time caught. Then
he was beaten to DEATH"
There follows o melodramatic ac-
count of the brewing and breaking or
a general battle between whites and
negroes, in which there occurs q pa
thetic incident, the killing OF the aged
father Of Gibson, who was shot in the
back and beaten to death with his
own gun after he had made stand
behind O bridge. j.
Everyone in the South who is IA
miliar with the more sordir aspects
Of life knows what type of white man
Is "a negro's rival for the affections of
O .mulatto woman. 1t will surprise

nighted or debased, such a white mp u
could beat up G following and cause a
race riot The village OF Fairplay-
surely the irony OF fate gave it the
name-bcbs into praminece after a
lifetime OF obscurity only to attract
attention 10 the ugly fact that a crea-
ture. however, debased and outcasr,
finds men Of his race who will side
with him because he is white, or be-
cause they want an excuse for q brawI
with negroes.
Uplift societies have probed and
treated such social ulcers as those
fond in the more sqpalid sections of
New York,s East Side. The South
Carolina village OF Fairplay is remote.
and il as yet unprobed and unre-
deemed. There are doubtless more
pleasing aspects OF Fairplay than thar
which is brought to attention by the
race riot, but they have not been adj
vertised.-Courfer Journal. 49,

In the trade or professionse have
bought land. McIver Williamson in a
series OF articles in 1912 in the
Southern Cultivator brought out this
invasion OF the farms by merchants,
doctors. lawyers, stablemen and rail-
road men as responsible for the bump
er crop Of cotton In 1911. He protest
ed then against this Invasion OF the
farm as soon as the farmers had put
farming on a profitable basis. This ar
tfcie is my feeble protest against the
benehctarie5 OF a system that has en-
riched the traders and impoverished

MILK TESTING LABORATORY May Result From Lecture Given by
 pr. North.


 The establishment of a laboratory for the testing of milk may be one of the results to follow the lecture given in the Bradley theatre Sunday even ing by Dr North, the noted New York health expert. It is understood that such a testing station for milk as has been set up in many places in New England would not cost in excess of $200, and that it could be successfully operated by any ordinary person. It has been suggested that such a sta ton be established at the high school.
 The address here is in line with the efforts of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, through it's committee on agriculture. to e-establish on a prop CT basis the dairy business in New England states. The ends in view, while primarily commercial have vit- al bearing on the future of New Eng land.
 The main idea is to seek to have a pure milk supply. The first recom- mendation is that no milk be sold ex- 'cepting in containers showing the quality. This would spur the farmers on to the producing of a high quality of milk with the expectation of remun- eration based upon the brand furnish ed. The customer also sees at a glance what he buys.
 Another recommendation is that farmers and business men of each producing district establish a country milk station for processing milk and taking the surplus.
 There are various other points brought out to show the value of hav- ing milk tested for it's purity and to guarantee 1t as pure and Dr. North's lecture here may result in the estab- nshment Of such station.

TOBACCO INDUSTRY INTRODUCED
Shepard Hill Farm Leased for cuItiva- ton of Shade Grown croP-Three Acres to Start With. et

W. S. Brown announced Monday morning that he has closed arrange ments with a group of tobacco grow CTS for use of-land on his Shepard hill farm, near Wauregan, for the culti- vation of shade-grown tobacco. Under the agreement entered into the tobacco concern will immediately start prep have, however, an option for the use of 97 more acres of MT. Browns farm and will undoubtedly exercise it dur ing the next summer season.
 The immediate preparations will consist of erecting posts throughout the three acres to be devoted to shade grown tobacco and setting up other equipment that will be required to carry the cloth over the acres that are ship in at once fertilizers that will be needed to feed the soil preparatory to the planting in the early part of next summer.
 The significance of the contract into which MT. Brown has entered with the growers is that 1t means the introduc- tion-the first venture on a commer- cial scale-of tobacco growing in Eastern Connecticut. Individuals have for many years raised tobacco on Windham county lands and two years ago a few acres were grown on the Grasmere farm, near Elmville, but the venture on the Shepard Hill farm is entirely more important to this section in business way than any tobacco growing proposition ever opened here. The negotiations for the Shepard hill lands have been under way for Iseveral months. It is understood that analytical tests of the soil have been ,aasde in relation to it's value for to-
