SOUTH CAROLINA MUST FEED
HERSELF.

During the past two weeks slogan
hes been taken up in Alabama viii h
ought to be the slogan in every cotton
owing State. "Let Alabama Feed
herself" is tie cry which has been
raised in Alabama Let South Car
o-ina Feed Herself" is the cry which
s: ould be raised in South Carolina.
Just how far south carolina is pre-
pairing to do this can not be deter
ined at the present time. There is
no question but that in some sections
a larger proportion of grain has beea
painted than ever before in the mem
ory of any man now living. But the
acreage in grain is by no means so
l; rye as it was expected to be. Thou
S; nds of farmers who lad intended to
pant some wheat have been prevented
from doing so. The rains which set in.
carly in the fall, before the cotton was
yet out of the feldssshaVe kept up so
steadily throughout the winter that it
vas impossible for many farmers to do
anything along that line. Whether
t. ese lands which Lad been set apart
fer wheat have now been devoted to
S, ring oats or will be put in corn is
unknown. 1t is probable that the aver
a: farmer is planning to increase con-
s:lerably l-is acreage in corn; but
Weather conditions will influence his
f2al action considerably.-News and
Courier
We believe that this section Of South
Carolina is arranging to feed herself.
2 great deal of wheat has been planted,
ard also oats. More would rave been
painted if it had not been for the rains
which began about the middle of No
v2mber and kept tie ground too wet
to plow until it was too late to plant
wheat.
We have argued for many years that
the only salvation Of this section Of
country was for the farmer at least to
feed himself. The trouble has been that
il this State tie farmer mas not only
no: been feeding those who did not
farm, but he has not been feeding him
SCI from the foodstuffs of the farm,
but nas been buying his -four and his
r,cat from other sections and not only

that, but buying lot of his corn and
his aay. We can never be prosperous
as long as that policy is pursued.
You may figure oat on paper TIA.
you can grow cotton and buy cora
cheaper than you can grow corn, bat
it is all mistake 1t won't work out
in practice.
Some Of the land w icn would have
seen put in wheat may be put in cot
ton, but it will be small part. Then,
the farmers are not going to use COM
mercial fertilizers near as extensively
as heretofore In fact, We believe the
crop this year is going TO be made on
a very economical scale
Yes, South Carolina must feed her
self, and the sooner s e realizes it
the better. We believe at this is go
ing to be one of the good results Of
the war. 1t will orce t3e farmers AMI
others to realize that South Carolina
can feed herself and t ct she will do it.

PERSISTENT BEAVERS.
A Battle Of Wits Between the Animals
and the Engineers.

When the Grand Trunk railway ran
its line across a swamp in game pre-
serve on the lire of the Alberta Rock
les there was wonderfully construct
ed beaver dam holding the water back
to food the swamp
This in the eyes of the game warden
was pure waste, and he ordered the
engineers to prevent it without harm
ing the beavers. OF course the dam
could have been blown up with dyna-
mite. but that would have meant the
death of most of the little animals and
death very likely in great pain at that
So the engineers cut an opening In
the dam The mud had become almost
as bard as concrete, and it took the
men three days to get the water run
ming out steadily Then. thinking their
troubles with the industrious little fet-
lows over. they started work on the
railway through the swamp.
Soon the water began to rise. and
the work was stopped in few hours.

dam and found the animals had repair
ed the cut and made it tight again.
A fresh cut was made. but after the
men had gone the beavers busted
themselves and made it stronger than
ever WORK was again stopped on the
railroad within q few hours.
Then a deep hole was made in the
earth far under the dam. The beavers
were much puzzled. Never before had
they seen water go down into the
ground and come up far away. But
they lent their whole. attention to the
problem. and the work ON the railroad
was again stopped as consequence
and the foundations soaked with wa
ter.
Then followed an engagement Of
wits between the beavers and the en-
gineers. But every time the men
found way to cut the dam In new
place the beavers found q way TO
stop it.
The road was dnaily.Soustructed by
woRking u few hours at time. and the
loss TO. the contractdFs amounted to
more than $5.OOO.-DetFpie Free Press

PASSING STRANGE.

On recent trip to Anderson we
were very much surprised to hear that
it was not only possible, but probable,
that this progressive county would
likely defeat the measure for the issue
of bonds for the permanent road build
ing in that county And that Lose
who would most likely vote against
the proposition were, as a rule, the
smallest taxpayers and the ones who
would be the greatest benehciaries OF
good roads.
It is passing strange to US how
any one can afford to refuse
or object to spending any reason
able amount of money in the
building of roads. One generation
the building of roads. One generation
should not be expected to do all in
t matter of sucn permanent improve
ments, and debt left FOR the build
ing o. permanent roads is the best leg
scy that any generation could leare
its successors. Money put in the per
manent Improvement of tie public
roads is an investment that will pa
large difidends. The only way to do
the work so as to get results that will
count is by a bond issue, and in this
way the payment is spread over num-
Der of years and tie burden bears
evenly and is mot heavy On any one.
And then those who are now living
will get some of tie benefit and those
who are to come after will also receive
benefit, and will be willing to pay their
pro rata share Of the debt.

alliance with Germany and adds that
the loyal relationship existing between
Austria-Hungary and the German en-

room and compared it to the beautiful
country and quoted one stanza from
that little poem, "In tie Country" that
the lawn mowers were at work early
the next day, and that the lawn is now
thing of beauty, and the girls are
singing" and tie "oriole's nest is
swinging" and the "honey-bee huns" :"
and the flowers bloom" Now, that is
altogether proper and there will be a
beautiful lawn and We will not use
that sacred spot around the monument
for any such sordid purpose as grow
ing burr clover for sale. And neither
will Supervisor Sample so debase the
grounds around the court house, but
he will take my advice and Put those
fellows to moving the grass and We
will have a beautiful lawn there also.

little poem about the honey bees and
the orioles.
