MAYOR GRACE.

If Mayor Grace really intends to
face about and enforce the liquor
and gambling laws in the city of
Charleston, he is intending 10 g.,
what no other mayor OF that city
has done within the last twenty
five years. 1t is true that he has
been tardy enough about it, Eut
if ne will yet respond to the ohli-
cations of his oath Of office To en-
force the laws of the State. ne will
be excused by the people outside of
Charleston for many thugs.
The mayor is a man of froce, a
man of nerve. and a man of deter
mination. If he shall make up his
mind to rid Charleston cf blind
tigers, he will go long way to-
wards accomplishing that result.
Let US hope that he will make the
closing months of his admin: ra-
tion an era of law enforcement,
even in Charleston, and let US hope
that "the better element, which
we are told sleeps in Charleston,
will support no man for his success
sor, who does not intend to wipe
out the illicit traffic in liquor in
that city, and no man who will not
do so.

ANOTHER FARMER.

Mr.. J. C. McAdams, of Level Land
was in the city Friday. He came
to sell two wagon loads of baled
pea-vine hay, which he had raised
on his farm, at Level Land. Mr..
McAdams is a real farmer. Not
so many years ago he started life
without anything. Rv hard work,
and scientific methods he began
at once to succeed. He and his
brothers soon paid f,r the pianta-
ton on which they 1--we. They
then began to loan money OF real
estate mortgages, AMI to keep
money in the Savings Banks.
About year ago when The Bryant
lands were offered for sale, Mr..
McA dams came to ro,yn and bought
them for eight thousand dollars in
cash.
Mr.. McAdams has succeeded as
farmer because he has farrled
right. He has not depended Gil
cotton. He has not bought corn,
hay, meat, and everything else and
undertaken to pay for it in the fail
by raising big crop of cotton.
Instead Of buying these things, he
sells them all, and he makes and
sells the cotton too. But he makes
cotton only after he mas made his
own food-stuffs at nome.
We have other farmers doing the
same thing. You can buy at the
stores now great deal of hay
raised in the county, where former
ly you would find only Western hay.
You can buy county raised oats,
corn and meat from progressive
farmers. They are learning. Cot
ton will not always be king. Great
progress has been made in the last
several years by the farmers; they
are now studying the soils, the
right kind of fertilizers to apply,
and most of all the proper crops,
the time to plant, and how to raise
everything at home.
With the leadership of men like
Mr.. McAdams we will very soon
have an Independent class of far
mers in the county, whose numbers
will grow until the county itself is
independent of the Western far
mer and the Western stock raiser.
Clemson College mas done a great
deal for US in bringing about this
result; the county Demonstration
Agent is doing a good work along
this line; the newspapers are con-
tributing a share; but the real work
is done by the man on the farm, who
reads and then sits down and thinks
for himself. Farming is a busi-
ness, it is not pastime. The man
who really wants to farm must study
methods and ways of farming Just
as the man in any other business
must do. 1t is this that makes a.
farmer who is worth while.

Carolina Bar Association just be-
cause Charleston is now threatening
to enforce the liquor laws. While
the law-abiding members of the pro-
fession in that city may not order
more than gallon month for the
occasion, under the opinions of the
Attorney General and Solicitor
Cooper, any lawyer may carry a
half pint on his person; and when
he feels like it, he can step behind
a policeman and take drink.
A gentleman from Anderson was
in the city a few days ago admir-
ing our beautiful yards, and our
fine homes. He states, however,
that we are somewhat behind in
the matter of streets and sidewalks.
He believes that a. man who has a
barley patch for his cow in the
front yard, even if he does milk
her in the back yard, must have
been raised in the country. He al
so says that gentleman who will
not give his neighbors a sidewalk
should be forced to double his
subscription to the pastors salary.
Anderson does not sprinkle it's
streets with sand.
When Abbeville had about ten
barrooms, and everybody came to
town on salesdays and got drunk,
and shot up the town, we got along
with one policeman. He busted
himself then during the day with
keeping order, and at night every
body went to bed. Now, there is
not much lawlessness about the
city, it is necessary to have two
policemen on duty all the while,
the one must watch the other.

To the people of Albuuueraue: The
people of this city have demanded a
fair The mass meeting at the Com
mercial club of Monday. May "a.
when you asked me to assume posi-
ton on your fair commission, con-
WINGED me that the old Albuquerque
spirit Of thirty years go is not lead.
The fact that you were about to pass
up the fair we had been giving for
thirty-fVe wears started some Uf you
to action. which resulted in the meet
ing at the Commercial cluO.
That same spirit has made Albu-
querque what it is today You can
look around YOU at some II your sis
ter cities and see other places as wei
situated as Albuquerque that have not
prospered in proportion. The cause
of this city's progress is nothing more
than that same Albuquerque push
which means do or die
The fair this year cannot be sue
cess unless every on Of he people Ct
this city get out and hustle. Il can-
not be a success by your sitting back
and letting some one else do tho sub
scribing and the work. Whe he
committee comes to see YOU Friday,
June 4th, dig up your money and 10
not put them off with an exc ise----
they cannot come back in tho NhiI J.
wind campaign of one day for the
raising of $4,000. THAT one day is
the limit for the work.
The committee, in estimating your
subscription, has raised II over yoUr
previous donations. This is abso-
lutely necessary to raise the rec 9rca
amount of money. You cannOt give
such a fair as you must give this year
with less than $4,000 from this CITY.
You have deficit from last year
which must he paid. Albuquerque will
cease to give fairs in the future un-
less this deficit is made good this
year.
| do not believe this city can afford
to pass up the fair this year. for II
you do pass 1t up, YOU wipe Albuquer-
que off the map. Our reputation VIII
be gone and we will become q has
been. If, on the contrary. we do what
| believe we are going to do on Fri
day. June 4, We will be in position
TO so to the legislature and demand
q much larger appropriation for the
next state fair.
In saying to you that you must dig
up the amount of your estimate ON
Friday. / am in deadly earnest.
failure to meet the required amount
means a finish to your city, not only
as the seat of the state fair, but 1t Will
surely be an indication of that lack
of enthusiasm which has placed Albu-
querque in the lead in this southwest,
1t will mean that We are not going
ahead.
You cannot afford to become dead
one. No one ever accused the writer
of being a dead one; and, further
more, I have yet to hear anyone say
That the city of Albuquerque rs dead
one.
Allow me to say this word to the
people of this city: The money raised
Friday Is going to be spent along the
lines that you people want. There VIII

that We do not now possess Tor pos

with a skill at least equal to that with
which foreign navies already us p

emy would send; and must develop a
