All the leading public men of tn

All the leading public men of the
country, including President Wilson,
eX-President Roosevelt and others, be-
lieve in the wisdom and practical
value Of effective organization among
the farmers. as well as other workers
The time was when large portion of
the business element was against such
organization, and there is much SEN
timent against it now. especially on
the part of people who realize how
much easier it is to have their own
way with individual farmers than with
organized farmers. But there is no
question Of the fact that much of the
splendid agricultural prosperity in the
middle west and the northwest is due
to thorough organization, and the peo-
pie down this way can do the same
thing if they want to.

Referring to that incident about
the publication of the correspondence
between Mr.. Finley and the Board of
Trade, the other day, or more proper
ly the question Of giving out the cor
responGence for publication, we want
to say that there was a good deal of
the ridiculous about the whole mat
ter. If the correspondence was pri-
vate, then it should not have been
published, for the public had no bust
ness with it. If it was intended to be
public then the public was entitled to
it at once. Had The Enquirer not
considered the correspondence of pub
lie interest. not to say Importance.
there would have been no request for
it. The fact that the correspondence
was withheld, only afforded new cir
cumstance of interest to the public
that was of more Importance than the

Although the European war is going
on regardless of the fearful weather
that is prevailing over most Of the ter
ritory being fought over, it is not NOV

gression that characterized early ope-
rations. This, however, is almost en-
tirely due to the weather, which is
more intolerable than artillery duels.

However, when spring sets in the ac-
tivity of last fall will be increased and
intensified, and it is probable that the
great issue will be forced to more
rapid conclusion.

According to Commissioner Watson

According to Commissioner Watson,
500, 900 acres have been seeded to
wheat in South Carolina. AS to
whether the figures are more than ap-
proximately accurate, we do not know;
but If they are reasonably accurate
they ought to mean that South Caro-
lima will have something over 3,000.-
600 bushels of home raised wheat
next summer. And If there is any
thing in the proposition that dollar
saved is a dollar made, the wheat
crop ought to be worth about s6,o00,-
900 to the state of South Carolina.

chance of securing the Torrens system

Iuestion of Representative Bradford's

question Of Representative Bradford's,
said that the commission had not
given up the idea Of buying the law
range in the rear Of the court house,
but would not take action until the
distressing financial condition Is past.
Chairman Brice stated further that
it was the intention Of the framer Of
the bill authorizing the construction
of a new court house. to make the
amount 100000. People in the
eastern section dissented, and the
amount was cut to $4,000, the framer
knowing that the county could be
pulled for sufficient funds to furnish
the building later.
Mr.. Brice explained further that
the commission would have bal
ance of something like $4,000 upon
the completion of the building. This
could not be used for furnishings.
After spending about three quarters
Of an hour in executive session, the
legislative delegation announced that
one-haf mill for two years
amounting to s10,000-would be re-
commended for furnishings.
