COTTON GRADER COMING.
United States Bureau of Markets Will
Detail Cotton Grader to Work OH
Sumter Market.

The Chamber of Commerce has
been notified that an expert govern
ment cotton grader has been detail
ed to work on the Sumter cotton mar
ket during the approaching cotton
season to assist cotton growers in
properly grading and marketing their
cotton. The sending of the govern
ment cotton grader to Sumter was
brought about through the request of
the Chamber of Commerce to Con-
gresham Lever, and also as the re-
suit OF the good work done here last
season by government grader and
the appreciation of this work by the
FARMERS who found that by having
their cotton graded they were able to
sell 1t by grade and to obtain better
prices as a rule. The growers of
cotton are strong for having a gov
ernrnent cotton grader on this market
at an times, and it is hoped that ulti-
inateiy they will become aroused to
the benefits to be derived from COM
mon sense cooperation and will or
ganike a marketing association to sell
all their cotton through one selling

The Daily Item begins today the
publication Of the revised and COM
plete list of the men of Sumter coun-
ty who registered under the selective
draft law for military service. This
list was not completed by the county
board of registration until last Thurs
day and prior to that day it was not
available in the final and correct form
for publication. The list will be pub
lished in sections from day to day un-
til completed-and it is "all without
cos' to the government" The news
pa ,rs do not receive even "cost plus
IS per cent" as contractors who are
building the cantOnments are paid.
but the government places a very
high estimate upon the value of pub
fishing these lists and officials are very
insistent that the list be published in
all newspapers. The newspapers are
complying with the request of the
government, although the typesetting
of the lists entails considerable eX-
pense since tho officials say that the
publication of the lists will be of
great assistance to the government.
The newspapers are doing this work
for the government, although prac-
tically all are agreed that it is an i'm
position, and that the newspapers
should no more be asked to contribute

space-than lumber mills should be
asked to give lumber or carpenters la

GOOD ADVICE TO NEGROES.
IL. w. Westberry Addresses Gathering
i'm Bennettsvillc Court House.

K. w. Westberry, demonstration
agent and president of the colored
farmers State association, addressed
quite a crowd of colored people and
a few white people i'm the court
house here Saturday afternoon. He
made q good speech and gave his
race good advice. He said that he
had lived fourteen years i'm Chicago,
but had come back to South Carolina
and thinks this the best place for the
negro. He said the observance of
the Sabbath and the respect for God
in the South distinguished it from the
North, and makes it a better place to
live. He advised his race to stay out
of debt as no man can be free while
in debt. You may put it on your
wife, or your boys, he said, but the
responsibility rests with you to stay
out of debt. your wife will quarrel
anyhow, and your boy will leave
home anyhow" he said, and you need
not try to give them everything they
want. nt."-Bennettsville Advocate.

out taking every precaution against
attack?
A jury of known Integrity, almost to
man, have exonerated this vicious
black and are anxious to restore his
liberty. Has this conscientious jury
,of true and tried men changed the
morals of the prisoner and converted
him into a law-abiding citizen?
Lastly. Those sturdy little lads
waiting eagerly for the time, when
this evil-dOer would be punished by
the strong arm Of the law, are now on
the threshold of manhood about to
assume the duties and responsibilities
of life. Think you this travesty of
Justice will impress these future cit
izens with the divine majesty of the
law? Should they suffer a grievous
wrong, could anyone successfully curp
their passionate demands for justice
by an appeal to law? Could they
have any assurance of redress? Does
not this crumpled roseleaf conscience
of the jury box lead directly to great
er crimes. and find appeal to the
swift sure punishment Of lynch law?
1t takes no prophet to see the
trend The answers to these prob
lens make the last act in this trag-
edy.
Where rests the blame. if it is writ
ten in blood?

II seems that with one accord farm
ers threatened with boil weevil this
season have determined that peanuts
are the crop to take the place of cot
ton. The strange thing Is that whom
ever anything threatens the cotton
crop all the growers want another
crop to take its place as a one-crop
plant. They seem to utterly fail to
understand that there are hundreds CT
thousands of prosperous farmers who
never saw cotton plant and yet
make living and money from grow
Ing wheat. corn. oats, legumes and
livestock. Men who farm with these
grain crops and maintain the fertility
Of their soil with legumes and their
use in feeding and return the manure
to their land can grow these same
crops as profitably In the South as in
the North and without any cotton. or
can put cotton into the rotation and
get what the boil weevils do not.
No one crop Is going to make sue
cess where you fail with cotton, and
the sooner the cotton farmers get to
real farming the more Independent
they will be Of the boil weevil. The
man who 10 a farmer In the best man
ner does not fear the loss OF the cot
ton crop. even II II Is a total loss. for
his eggs are not all In that one bas-
ket. and the man who simply adopts
a new crop with the cultivation OF
which he Is unfamiliar, will find him
self no better of than with cotton
for peanuts are just as liable to fuc-
tuation In price as cotton.
There can be no objection to any
one In the South taking peanuts into
a rotation with corn. cotton sand
grain. I was last year In a section
where they plant peanuts and corn
and corn and peanuts year after year
and the farmers are not as well off a.
a class as those I'm sections where M
one ever grew u peanut. but have
farmed successfully with corn. wheat
and clover. 1t is not the crop tina
makes the farmer. but the farmer
who makes the crop. and with goot
rotative farming there Is money to b'
made In any OF our American crop!
and the only men who go into hyster
les over damage to the cotton crOl
are those whose whole interest Is tie'
up In the one crop-whO are planter
