WILL GIVE JOE GRANT
AN IMPARTIAL TRIAL

II desire to express my apprecia>
ton of the courteous language in your
letter, but l can not admit the COR
rectness of your conclusions after al
luding to the sigma of mob violence
in Pennsylvania and South Carolina" )"
says Gov. Manning in letter ad-
dressed yesterday to Gov. Brumbaugh
of Pennsylvania relative to the ex-
tradition of Joe Grant, negro want
ed in Edgefeld county on the charge
Of murder. The Pennsylvania gov
ernor asked for an expression from
Gov. Manning as to whether every
safeguard would be thrown about the
negro during his trial. Gov. Manning
states that he sees no ground for
fear that local officers will not do
their duty in giving the negro protec-
ton and that a fair trial will follow.
The governor again renews his peti-
ton that the negro be returned to
South Carolina for trial.-The State.

FARMER WENT ONE BETTER.

An American tourist had beer
boasting again in the village inn.
Talking of scarecrows," he said
with a drawl, "why, my father once
put one up, and it frightened the
crows so much that not one entered
the field again for over year."
He looked triumphantly around his
audience. Surely that had settlet,
those country pumpkins!
But he was to meet his match!
That's nothing" retorted one farm
er. "A neighbor O. mine once put a
scarecrow into his potato patch and it
terrified the birds so much that one
rascal of a crow, who had stolen some
potatoes, came next day and put them
back. k."-EXchanpe.

BEANS.

We sincerely wish that every farmer
in Union county would take to heart
the lesson we PROFOUND on "beans'
this week. 1t is but the "short and
simple annals of the poor" but would
fill the pockets of Union county farm
ers with silver and gold and "long
green" Hanging in front of The
Times office are two varieties of
"velvet" beans-the Chinese and the
Japanese. One sample was grown by
+. w. Carnell, the other by Thos. Nc
Nally. Both samples were grown on
thin soil-one on soil that would not
produce seven bushels of corn to the
acre without fertilizer.
But that is not the sermon. Nol,
is the fact that these prodgious, pro-
life, mighty growing plants are val
liable for grazing, especially for feed
ing hogs. The real value is in the
fact that these plants are great nitro
gen gatherers. They have the won
derful property of putting into the
soil an element that costs much money
and that all the lands of the county
need greatly-ni'trogen There are
other plants that will work this mira
Gle, but there is hardly one that would
40 more, and at as small expense as
will this humble bean. Do not get
the idea that it is dwarfed growth.
You would have to fence in your house
to keep it from burying it, if you
plant it too near the house. Best TO
plant it on poor ground. The poor
ground needs it, and there it will
not grow more than ten feet runners,
more or less.
Mr.. Farmer, investigate the won
ders of the "velvet beam"

The splendid development o

The splendid development of our
city water and lighting plants during
the past few years should be cause
for hearty approval on the part of the
citizens. The article published in this
issue is a revelation to those not in
formed. Few of our people realize
just how good has been the manage
ment of these plants. The showing is
a most creditable one. Now let all
the property owners fall in with the
movement to have "White Way" on
Main street. 1t will cost no single
owner a very large amount. The re-
suit will be of great advantage. In

CHARLESTON'S RIOT.

Charleston did have her expected
riot, albeit it came little later than
it was booked 1t is difficult to pass
just judgment when one is not ac-
tually present to catch the many
pointers" to the truth. There were,
nevertheless, some facts that are po-
tent to every thoughtful mind. For
one thing, the police fierce proved of
little value in maintaining order. In
fact, it seems to be established that
members of the force led the riot, or
at least may have fired the first shot.
They shamelessly dubbed various citi-
zens and in general manifested spirit
of pure cussedness." But there is a
further reason for that: Charleston,
for decades openly standing for the
violation of law, persistently and will
fully Haunting her lawless will in the
face of the State at large, has reaped
the first crop of her sowing. Pity
it is that this first crop is not likely
to be the only one. More bloodshed is
scheduled for Charleston, else all
signs of the political Zodiac fail. An
other thing that seems objectionable
was the fact that Mayor Grace was
"out of the city," but managed to get
to the scene of the trouble in 20 min
utes from the time of the shooting.
With a mayor and police force like
that, in the face of the known tension,
it is no more than might have been
looked for Another fact that stands
out in this catastrophe is that the in
nocent suffer along with the guilty.
This is one of the inexorable laws of
our existence. The innocent, as well
as the guilty, come to grief when evil
walks abroad. Sin eXacts toll from
the weak as well as the strong The
price of lawlessness and crime falls
upon a whole community with as
great severity as it does upon the
actual agent of the evil deed; often
the price eXacted from the innocent is
heavier than that exacted from the
actually guilty. There is yet another
potent fact: BY blood comes cleansing
and by blood Charleston, unwilling to
cleanse herself by less drastic means
will find it in the blood of her citi-
zens, good and evil. This is a law of
God. 1t may often be obscured by the
tumult of events; it is often over
looked by even the worlds wise men;
but it has way of coming to the fore
now and again. Civilization has al
ways climbed by the blood way, and
will always so climb until the hills of
perfect development will be topped.

If?

If Union county produces twenty
thousand bales of cotton Qast year it
actually produced 2O,564 bales),
and if each bale weighed five
hundred pounds, then the entire cotton
crop of Union county sold at ten cents
a pound would bring exactly one mil
lion dollars. If sold for fifteen cents
pound it would bring one and one
half million dollars. There would be
difference of just one-half million
dollars. This nalf million dollars, if
distributed equally to every man, wo-
man and child, black and white, in
the county, would mean that each in
Cividual soul of the thirty thousand
population of Union county would re-
ceive the sum of sixteen dollars ana
SiXty-six and two-t thirds cents. This
half million dollars would amount to
one-fourteenth of the total tax assess
ment valuation of Union county. 1t
would build another Neal Shoals dam;
another Union and Glenn Springs
railway. That much cash would
build mill almost as large as
any single mill in Union county; it
would, if distributed throughout the
county for good roads, allow just one
thousand dollars mile to five hundred
miles of Union county roads. (There
are only six hundred miles of roads
within the county.) 1t would build
just one thousand farmers homes al
lowing for each five hundred dollars.
1t would build just five hundred homes,
allowing an even thousand dollars to
be expended on each. 1t would pur-
chase twenty-five thousand acres of
land at twenty dollars per acre.
(Twenty dollars per acre is near all
average price for every foot of land
in Union county,. 1t would buy one
hundred million brick at five dollars a
thousand. 1t would pay the first years
premium on sixteen thousand, six hun
dred and sixty-six life insurance pol
icies, allowing thirty dollars to each
policy, and have twenty dollars left
over. So, you see, there is some diff
ference between ten cent cotton and
fifteen cent cotton, after ALL Each cent
per pound, on every twenty thousand
bales is just one hundred thousand
dollars in hard cash. There is another
view that might be illuminating.
Twenty thousand bales at seven and
one-half cents per pound, provided
each bale weighed just five hundred
pounds, would amount to seven hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars. At
fifteen cents per pound, the gross in>
come would be one and one-half mil
lion dollars. But then-it's only an
"if," after all. The boil weevil is
coming. There will be no twenty
thousand bales then. Let us hope it
will be twenty thousand bushels of
corn, twenty thousand bushels of oats,
twenty thousand bushels of peas,
twenty thousand bushels Of wheat,
