Hunters, License Tax.

In his annual report State Game
Warden Richardson will recommend
that the Legislature enact law re-
quiring hunters to take out a license
and to pay a fee therefor, provision being
made of course for land owners to hunt
on their premises. It appears that
such law would reduce the number of
hunters who are in a sense vagrants.
AS soon as the game season opens
many indolent negroes and some white
people who stealthily hunt upon lands
that are posted or slaughter game on
farms of individuals whose lands are
not posted but who object to promis-
cuous hunting. Not only would nui-
sances of this class be reduced, were a
tax required, but it would mean that
less game would be slaughtered. 1t
appears that legislation along this line
would greatly improve conditions in
some sections.

Stick to the Land.

The Edgefeld Advertiser gives
sound advice when it urges all those
who are now engaged in agricul-
ture to stay on the farm. 1t is true,
as The Advertiser suggests, that
sthe present low price of cotton
will doubtless cause many farmers
to seek other employment But our
contemporary says truly that those
who do this will make mistake,
especially those who are financially
able to continue to farm.
"Why brood over the present
low price Of cotton" says The Ad-
vertiser. Zone should not forget
that practically everything else pro-
auced on the farm is in great de-
smanl at profitable prices. Further
more, the day is not so far distant
when the south's great staple will
again come into his own, and then
the man who left the farm will find
it difficult to re-establish himself.
His labor will have to be replaced,
the farm will have to be re-supplied
with live stock and food for man
and beast. Whileit is true that For
tune may not be smiling upon you
now, you had better tough it out
and remain on the farm, learning
and practicing the lesson of rota-
tion and diversi6cation till the new
day dawns.
Every word of this is to the
point. But the best reason for every
body, white and black, to stick to
the farm if they can is that in the
towns and cities there are already
more workers than work. No mel
ligent white man is going to leave
the land if he can help it. Every
thing which can be done to dis
courage the negroes from focking
to the towns ought to be done. They
will not better their condition by
the move.-News and Courier.

The Salvation Army.

A decade or more ago the work of
the Salvation Army was. not fully un-
derstood or appreciated. In spite OF
the jeers and unjust criticism, the
earnest men and women who compose
this vast host of Christian workers
pressed steadily forward in their eff
forts to uplift the poor and the out
cast, knowing that in feeble and
humble way they were following in
the footsteps of the Master who min
istered chiefly to the needy.
To-day wherever the voice of mem.
Der of the Salvation Army is raised
it commands respect and whenever an
appeal is made in the name of the or
ganization it does not go unheeded.
During the recent festive season teem-
ing thousands of stockings were filled
through the efforts of this organiza-
ton and as many Christmas dinners
were provided for the poor of the
large cities. The members of the Sal
vation Army are trained in this special
field and are thus enabled to accom-
plish more for the unfortunate people
in the slu1ns of the cities than the To-
cal churches or local charitable organi-
cations.
Never let an opportunity pass to give
the Salvation Army work your moral
and financial support. There is no
more helpful organization outside of
the church.

Death of MIR. Sam Garner.

On Thursday morning the oath
of December, Mr.. Samuel F. Gar
ner died at his home in this COM
munity. Mr.. Garner was stricken
with paralysis on the llth day Of
November one year ago.On the same
date in November just passed. he
suffered second stroke, since when
he has gradually failed till the end
came.
MIR. Garner was brave soldier
in the civil war and the same coura-
geous spirit which served him
through those years of trial and
danger, bore him up most beauti-
fully when he came to meet the last
great foe.
In his case the gloom and sad
ness of death is greatly relieved in
the thought Of his loved ones by
the remembrance of the patience and
resignation with which he bore his
ahiiction and the utter fearlessness
with which he met death. He had
expressed his faith in Christ as the
Saviour of mankind, and his hope
that through Him, his sins had been
forgiven. He often said that he was
not afraid to die. and that he was
only waiting for the Masters time
to call him home. The burial took
place at Sweetwater church on
Christmas day, the funeral service
being conducted by the Rev. J. P.
Mealing.
Mr.. Garner leaves his wife, a
daughter of Mr.. Stephen Mays,
who years ago was a prominent
planter Of this place. He leaves also
fourchi!dren, one son, Mr.. William
Garner and three daughters, Mrs.
Jason Whitlock, of Georgia; Mrs.
Avery Franklin of Beech Island and
Mrs. Eldred Barlow, of this neigh
borhood.

WHY NOT GROW SUGAR
CANE?

The cultivation of sugar cane is
meeting with great success in the
Salt river valley. Sufficient acreage
has been planted and harvested to
insure seasons run for the Glen
dale plant of the Western Sugar
and Land Company.
The thought occurs to us that
our farmers in the Gila valley can
also plant sugar cane and make a
successful harvest, and in doing so
would accomplish a new industry
for the valley that would mean
thousands of dollars every year that
would be paid for the crop.
There is no doubt but that sugar
cane can be grown successfully in
the Gila valley and our farmers
should be encouraged to plant a
crop for next season.
1t is safe bet that the expert
ment will be successful and a good

A CHANCE DISCOVERY

For many years during the early
history of the Globe district, the
red iron stained hills in what is now
Miami had been noticed, but there
was no precedent for seeking values
in such formation and no one haQ
thought them worth locating.
However, late in 1876, Fred Ais
dorf, young mining engineer, who
was in the district looking for op-
portunities, examined the hills and
concluded that there was a strong
possibility for the existence of a
large body of low grade copper ore
under the iron-stained groupings.
There were certain conditions SINH
lar to the few known so-called por-
phyry deposits" but there were
also essential differences. However,
he obtained an option to purchase.
At the Dominion Hotel few eve
nings later, Mr.. Alsdorf met j.
Park Chapning, consulting engineer
for the General Development Com
pany, who was in the district nego-
tiating for the Inspiration claims,
which he rejected, as he considered
the price excessive. Being in re-
ceptive mood, he heard Mr.. Alsdorf's
story and the following day went
over to see the claim. Concluding
that there was fair chance, he OBJ
tanned the option for his company.
Aggressive development work was
then started, but with disappointing
results The Captain shaft showed
on 70 feet 2 per cent ore; the Red
Rock shaft went 1870 feet with no
sign of ore. Mr.. Charming was very
much discouraged, then gave orders
to cross,cut at that depth in further
sealch of ore. He then left for
New York. Alsdorf, after putting
in a 20-foot sump, noticed a change
in the formation and continued sink
ing on his own responsibility, al
though it was contrary to orders,
and 10 feet deeper and the great
Miami ore body was discovered.
Things then started to move, ard in
five years the property had devel-
oped from a prospect without a
pound of ore in sight to one of the
worlds greatest copper producing
mines, producing almost 5000, 900
pounds of copper per month, at
little over cents per pound.

COMMENDABLE WORK

Every section quarters on the
desert on the Southern Pacific
Los Angeles and Tucson divisions
will soon be shaded, according to
present indications. In line with
its policy of bettering the living
conditions of its men, the company
has planted at its section houses in
the hot country shade trees of some
kind or other. Usually they are
umbrella or acacias. In all cases,
the trees have taken root and there
are several places, where the tenn
perature is highest, that are already
plentifuIly supplied with shade.
The results of this work thus far
have been gratifying in more ways
than one. The Mexican laborers
have taken interest in growing
green stuff in the way of vegetables
around the premises. At Pope, for
instance, which is on the Los An
geles division, lettuce, tomatoes and
string beans are growing and there
is vegetable life around most of the
quarters.
In place of the old tie bunkhouses,
with dirt roofs, the railroad is now
using hollow tile bunkhouses and
car bodies with sun roofs. These
make the living quarters of the
men much more comfortable as they
are cool in summer and warm in
winter.
The results of the company's well
fare work in desert territory is be-
ing reflected in the contentment of
the Mexican track laborer. Where,
few years ago he was unsteady
and inclined to cling to the dangerous
customs of hottest Mexico, he is to-
day of a different type. He is
steady at his work; he has become
very much Americanized. and he
puts his earnings to good use. In
many cases he is married and has a
fami y and he sees that the latter
are not neglected.

AGRICULTURE IN ARIZONA

1t will surprise many to learn that
agriculture in Arizona has any
chance of becoming more important
than mining. Yet such is the case.
1t has been estimated by competent
authorities that, if the agricultural
resources of Arizona are properly
developed mot exploited) the time
is not far distant when the total
value of the States agricultural
products will reach $l0O, 100000.
The output of Arizona's mines
will probably be worth about $780,
100000 this year.
