TO BtILH RAILROAD.
Commission Granted Savannah, Pied
mont and Western Railway.

Columbia, March 23.-Another
cause for optimism was the issuance
this morning by the secretary Of
State of a commission to the Savan-
nah. Piedmont and Western railway.
with minimum capital of 100000
and a maximum capital of S3,OO0,-
900. The company proposes to build
railroad of standard gauge from
North Augusta, on the Savannah
river. to the city of Greenwood, a
distance Of sixty miles. This will
connect the interurban road which
covers the up-country with the city
of Augusta. Ga, and marks another
great stride forward in the indus
trial and commercial development of
South Carolina.
The petitioners are: J. Peyton
Clark. S. H. McGhee, kenneath
Baker: Mr.. Clark, of New York city,
and the other petitioners being of
the city of Greenwood. The road
will use either steam or electricity.
Under the commission the COM
pany is given the right of construct
ing line of railroad from point on
the Savannah river orrat or near the
town of North Augusta, in Schultz
township, in the county Of Aiken,
South Carolina. thence through said
Schultz township, Langley, Gregg,
Shaw, in said county and State;
thence through any or all of the fol-
lowing townships in Edgefield coun-
ty: Merriwether. Wise, Pickens.
Shaw, Johnston, Elmwood, Blocker,
Collins, Golfers. Moss. and through
any or all of the following townships
in Saluda county: Nos. I, >. and
y; and through and or all OF the fol-
lowing townships in Greenwood
county: Brooks. kinards, Fellow
ship. Ninety-Siy, Phoenix. Calliscn.
Nirksey and Greenwood.
The following statement appears
in the petition: That it is proposed
that the said railroad shall either
be constructed without the State Of
South Carolina, or to operate an in
dependent corporation, or proposes
to consolidate with some other road
or company now incorporated, or
hereafter incorporated, in accord
ance with the laws of this State and
of the United States, and. that It
proposes to operate said railroad as
common carrier of passengers,
freight, baggage. mail and eX-
press.

legged failure to enforce the laws
against liquor selling, the hands OF
the governor are full. However. he
is keeping a close eye on every coun-
ty and is in constant touch with the
sheriffs and other law enforcement
officers throughout the State.
In several of the counties, notably
in Saluda and Berkeley, the sheriff
held a conference with all of the
magistrates over efforts to stamp out
the blind tigers, and in Berkeley
county a certain territory IS as
signed to each one to look after,
and in this way close watch can
be kept. ands it is hard for the
tigers to break through such a

of having convention of magis-
trates and may call one of his coun-
ty. In those counties which have
the rural police it is not so hard for
the sheriff to patrol his baliwick, but
many of the counties have no police,
and in this case it is well-nigh i'm
possible for the sheriff and his depu-
~ to keep down all violations, es-
pecially where some sections of the
county are remote, as was pointed
out by one of them. 1t is in such
counties that the active cooperation
of the magistrates and heir consta-
bles is necessary.

find rough sailing before juries. and

GETTING THE FIELDS READY.
Presence of StumpS Big Obstacle to
Improved Machinery.

United States government reports
show that in practically every farm
ing district of the country incomes
per farm worker vary in almost di-
rect proportion to the number OF
work stock employed. says the Pro-
sressive Farmer. In other words.
in Iowa. where each farmer has an
average of three horses or mules
against an average of about one for
each farmer in the cotton belt. the
average income per farmer is almost
three times that in the South. The
late DR.. Knapp believed that it is
possible for the Southern farmer to
increase his income 500 per cent.
and estimated that 300 per cent. Of
this increase could be brought about
BY the use of more and better horse
power and farm machinery.
Two and three horses or mules per
farmer mean adequate, up-to-date,
labor-saving farm machinery. and
this in turn means the production Of
larger crops at less labor cost and
consequently increased profits.
One of the most serious obstacles
to the use of improved implements
has been and is the presence of
stumps, gullies, thickets and small
patches, instead of broad. open fields
in which machinery can be operated
most advantageously and profitably.
Here. too. we have the reason Why
some farmers believe improved i'm
plements don't pay, and why we see
cultivators and harrows lying cast
aside in the fence corners rusting and
unused.
The truth is that there are few
better investments than wisely pur-
chased farm machinery: but it is
eqrally true that before this machln-
cry may be operated most prolitably
conditions must be made right. This
consists in the possession Of adequate
horse power: fields clear of stumps.
rocks, gullies and ravines,, and at
least fairly in telligent operators.
None of these requirements is dif7
ficult Of attainment: none is any
thing more than should be found on
any farm making any pretensions to
being up-to-date and fairly progress
sive.
If you are not using labor-saving
implements now is the time to begin
preparing for them, for We believe
the time is at hand when, without
them. YOU cannot hope to make your
farm operations most profitable. Pre-
liminary preparations mean keeping
persistently after the stumps until
they are a thing of the past: in sub
stituting wherever possible tile
drains in place of the open field
ditch; in filling gullies and cleaning
out thickets: in general. in having
farm made up of fields instead of
multitude of crazy-quilt patches.

There is single explanation. The
neutral principle is now tacitly per-
mitted to enter the domain Of morals,
and Christendom has determined
that to protest against avowed evil.
even in the name of its founder, is
a duty prohibited to neutral nations
during time of war.

to assert that such methods are con-

Mr.. Phillpotts concludes:
"Ex-President Roosevelt has pub
