Japanese-American Relations from a
japanese Viewpoint.

Toxic. Oct. 9.-Anti-Japanese agl-
tation is. says the Nichi-Nichi, cal
endar event in the United States and
it is not astonishing that there should
at this time be g. revival of it in ne
Pacific States. It is high time, says
the paper, to appeal to thoughtful
Americans whea legislative bills anu
resolutions directed against japanese
and resulting from such agitations are
proposed; and these so the length Of
impairing the good name of the JAP
anese Empire.
Former Senator, Theodore E. Bur-
ton, Of Ohio, now staying in Toxic,
is quoted as saying the agitation is
engineered for purposes Of American
domestic politics, and has nothing TO
do with racial orejUdices. The Nichl-
Nichi disagrees with Mr.. Burton and
expresses the belief that racial preJu-
dice plays an important part IN these
agitations, with the danger of imperil-
ing the friendly relations between
Japan and the United States.
Discussing the Japanese-Amerlcall
relations the Yorodzu says that when
the United States entered the war IN
1917, the japanese in America gave
their most hearty support to the
Americ. cause, and even the Pacific
States he came p,o-Japanese. all their
former anti-Japanese agitation being
completely shelved for the time.
But from about the time when the
Arnistice was signed last year, and
especially after the Introduction Of the
racial equality proposition at the Pa
ris conference by Japan, the pendu-
lum again began to swing backward
and once more anti-Japanese move
ments in the form of legislative and
other measures are now rife through
out California and other Western
States"
I'm snort" says the paper, "the
United States is now seized by jap
anophobia.' This, says the Journal,
"is shame to American intelli-
gence."

THE m CARNEGIE PUBLIC LIBRARY

Throughout the State, today, there
is great deal o: agitation in favor Of
public libraries Sumter is very for
s. tunate IN having one, and is doubiy
fortunate in having built it several
years ago, when building material was
so abundant, and labor was so cheap.
The building a. that time, with the
5heating plant AID all plumbing fix
lures and furniture cost exactly ten
thousand dollars It would be mere
guess work to estimate the cost today.
: 1t is not unreasonable to assume that
the cost would be at least twice that
amount.
The library is great benefit to the
community, and being situated on the
school campus, Sc IS a matter Of great
convenience to the pupils and teach
srs OF the public schools.
Mr Carnegie. who died last summer,
IN yeass9to comewill be remembered,
not as q great steel nlagnate, but rs
one who enabled so many communities
and institutions to procure buildings
for their libraries The great work
that he has done in this respect is due
to the inspiration that came to him
in his own life, in the great need that
he felt, while boy, for reading mate
rial of the right sort. Many cities
throughout America will have reason,
in years to come, to think kindly of
Mr.. Carnegie and the purposeful in
spiration that has put good books
within the reach of thousands Of read
ers.

what any man would lose who would
follow out honestly and sincerely the
method I have outlined. And he will
get a better mule OR horse than he
could buy in Missouri Or West Ten
nessee or Kentucky. To raise good
stock mules, it is necessary to have
a mare to weigh not less than 1880 to
1900 pounds and the best for breed
ing work stock are grade Percherons.
1-2 to 3-4 full blood. OF course,
judgment must be used in buying
mares of good conformations, good
heads, feet and legs, and bred to a
good jack. The offspring will give en-
tire satisfaction if the colt is given
plenty to eat. The trouble about rails
ing colts in the South has been that
they are put in dry lot which is call
ed as pasture, and the colt has to turn
the rocks over to get little grass. A
colt will not be a success if you don't
give him enough to eat. By the sys-
tenn 1 have outlined in the outset, he
will have all the feed that he can eat.
eff those counties that I have re-
ferred to had raised their stock in
their own barn lots and pastures. they
would have saved thousands Of dol
lars directly and many more thou
sands indirectly. Not in eeach case,
but in a general way the South has
been buying too much on a credit
corn, oats, hay, flour and bacon, all
coming from the West to be paid for
in the fall of the year. And that's
the very reason why the price of cot
ton has always been depressed. Just
think:
eff we had no supplies to pay for
in the fall of the year, our cotton
would be ours, not somebody's that
never turned hand to make it.
Therefore, I say:
s'The boil weevil is our friend, 1t is
the only remedy that has yet been
found to cure this back-nu1nber lack
of system of farming, and to make our
farmers run their places on business
plan."
