Build Your Own Warehouse.

In a letter to the county agent a
few days ago the state warehouse
commissioner made the assertion that
at the prevailing costs of material
and labor it was possible to build a
farm warehouse for storing cotton at
a cost OF from $1.75 to $500 per
bale. Such a warehouse can be in
sured at very cheap rate, S1.S3 per
$4,000 value, and the cotton stored
therein is the best security a farmer
can offer his banker. 1t is security
given under the seal and in the name
of the state of South Carolina. The
farmer must become his own business
man.
The following clipping bearing on
the same subject should prove inter

Put More Land Under Fence.

To the Farmers Of Lancaster County:
We are beginning campaign to
put more land under fence in this
county This campaign is being run
for various reasons, and it might be
well to enumerate several
First of all, wire fencing is very
high. In fact, higher in price than
the farmer wants to pay, and this
high price prevents him from buying
that fence which is absolutely needed
around the farm. The farmer today
has more money on hand than he
has ever had before in all the his
tory of our farming experience In
times of prosperity we want him to
invest this money in something that
is permanent and constructive Some
thing that will yield him profits next
year and the years that follow. If
he does not take advantage of his op-
portunities in times of prosperity.
then in times of adversely he will be
forced to begin the things he could
have done more easily beforehand.

Jugoslav Ports.

In order to reconcile Jugoslavia to
the loss of Fiume Signor Mariotti
gives US list of Jugoslav ports
which can replace the great Croatian
port as channels of commerce and
presses them on our attention as high
1y desirable harbors. Timeo Danaos
ct dona ferentes. They may be ex-
cellent seaports 'in spe," but to rem
der them of any permanent value mil
lions of dollars and years of work
. must be spent on them. Signor Mari
otti knows as well as / do that the
Austro-Hungarian government did
everything to retard the commercial
development of its Jugoslav prov
1nces. that such railways as it grudg-
ingly built are mainly narrow guage
lines and that the formidable noun
tain range behind these ports renders
the cost of railway construction SIM
ply prohibitive.
I once more beg to place on record
as an uncontrovertible fact that for
every ten thousand Italian speaking
Inhabitants Italy proposes to re
deem" she is going to annex a hun
dred thousand Jugosiavs against their
will. This is dilemma from which
no quantity of specious arguments can
rescue Italian policy and as it is
fragrant negation of the principle of

leave it to the judgment of every fair
minded American to decide on which
side justice lies.

Carefully cultivated Hatreds.

Signor Mariotti speaks Of ''Croatian
hatred" of the Ita1ian-speaking ele-
ments on the Adriatic coast. 1 have
yet to hear that in places where the
1talian-speaking population was able
to assert itself II did much to gain
the affection of its Slav. neighbors.
For, this state of affairs / blame
neither Italians nor Croats. 1t was
the result of the immoral Austrian
maxim of government "devide ct i'm
pera, divide to rule. 1t is notorious
that when IL was in their interest
the Hapsburgs favored the Italian
minority against the Slav majority.
and vice versa. In Pola where the
majority of the Inhabitants were
ltaifan-speaking the police was re-
cruited exclusively from the Slavs;
outside the city, where the popula-
tion was pure Slav. the gendarmerie
was recruited from the Italians. Con-
slant friction and misunderstanding
were thus assured, all in the interest
Of the "tertius gaudens." the Austrian
taskmaster.
I have little fear of racial animosi-
ties once the presence of the power
which benefited by them is removed.
The Italians and Slavs on the Adriatfc
have lived together for centuries and
would soon find a modus vivendi. 1
would further be the first ito insist
that. the great powers see to it that
cast-iron guarantees are taken from
the Slav majority that the rights of
the italian speaking MINORITY shall be
respected and safeguarded in every
way. It surely should not pass the
wit or man" to accomplish this.

No Nearer a Settlement.

But though this course, making
tabula rosa of all the obstacles to
frank discussion by all the powers
interested, renders the situation more
clear. il does not bring US any nearer
final settlement. Signor Mariotti
still ma aintains that because the 5000
1talian-speaking inhabitants of F'iume
demand to be annexed to Italy this
request must, in the name of the
principle of self-determination of
peoples, be at once granted
But this does not follow. No one
ever pretended that the right to self
determination should be pushed to
such a reductio ad absurdum as this
would be- Fiume is a town on Croa-
tian soil and is an integral part of
Croatia. If vote is taken as to
what shall become of it the whole
of Croatia must vote on the question.
not merely the people. of Fiume. If
the right of infinitesimal minorities
to break away from the country in
which they lived were admitted, it
would mean the breakup of every
Balkan state into fragments.
And is 1T not a little disingenuous
to talk of Fiume without including
Shushak, which is as much q part of
the total, city as Georgetown is a
part of Washington, or Brooklyn a
part of New York? If a pIebescite of
the united populations of Fiume were
taken the Italians would be in hope
less minnrity. Besides who presided
over the plebescite of the inhabitants;
what guarantees have we that it was
carried out impartia1ly and without
pressure OF any kind?

ITALY ABANDONS

Letter.
CLAIMS FIUME IS SLAVIC

To the Editor of The Star.
The controversy between Slgnor
Guido Mariotti and myself in the
one satisfactory result. 1t has brought
forth from him a categorical state
ment which is of extreme Importance.
viz that Italy no longer stands on the
secret treaty of London of April. 1915.
This means that the whole question
of the Adriatic, from Trieste to Val
ona, is now open to discussion with
out any of the powers taking part in
it,-Italy. France or Great Britain
having their hands tied by that docu-
ment.
Il trust that. in making this state
ment Signor Mariotti is speaking for
the Italian government and is not
merely expressing a personal opinion
He gives as the reason for this change
of view on the part of Italy the in
sistence of the inhabitants of Fiume
that they should be annexed to Italy
This insistence, he informs US. has
been SO energetic that the Italian
government has been moved by it and
has taken over the question of an

it vigorously before the peace con-
ference. AS. however, it desires to
remain logical, it has thrown over
board the secret treaty of 1915, which
conceded Fiume to Crotaia, Serbia
and Montenegro. and the whole ques-
tion of the Adriatic is therefore now
again in the melting pot aud may be

purposes is destined to be the result.
The present rate is one of the highest
ever placed on realty, and with the fixed
educational increase and the increase
vet to be decided upon by Councils, the
burden on realty will be greater than
at any time in the city's history, with
the exception of few years following
the Civil War, when the state taxes
were altered.
Some of the factors leading up TO
the present situation, in addition to
general increased demands of retiring
