| FARMING AND
:! THE NEWSPAPER

"One Of the most promising fea-
lures of the country newspaper of
today is the increased interest that
it takes, and the increased space
that it gives, to farming. The news
paper of the small town reflects bet
ter than any other institution the
spirit of it's community, and the
greater attention now paid to farm
ing betokens a greater realization
that farming is the primary industry
of this region and, for the matter of
the whole country. " r.
"a few years ago it was excep-
tional to find a town newspaper
taking any serious interest in farm
ing. The newspaper of the old days
was of and for the town. Today the
! country newspaper publishesf first
class articles on farming. It con-
tains interviews. with good farmers
on agricultural methods and prac-
tees and plans. 1T publishes news
and feature copy dealing with farm
ing in the community. It is repre-
sentative of the country as well as
the town." E.,
The farmer has begun to realize
that these are facts and to take
greater interest in the local paper as
medium of service to him in his
business. But there is room for
greater appreciation Of the local pa
per and wider use Of it as an dver-
tising medium for the sale OF pro-
ducts as well as an important chan
mel of agricultural news and infor-
nation. Perhaps too, there is room
for keener realization on the part
of the country newspaper Of its OPP
portunity and responsibility as a
strong agency for. the bettement of
agriculture.

for the opening of the fall term of

evidence in Columbia. The Chief
Justice has been home only a few
days before he developed a genuine
case of the malady.
His friends will be glad to know
that the attack is mild one, how

Shop at a a.rapid rate of speed. An
accident was prevented only by quick
work of the driver of the car on Main
Street. Such practices mean accidents
and injuries to people and property.
The city council should allow no
cars parked on any of the streets OF
the city. If the people in the city are
unable to hire enough territory in the
city to run business, they should go
to THO country where rents are cheap.
The City Council should require all
gasoline statesmen to operate on their
own lots. There is nothing causing
more congestion, and which is more
sure to bring accidents than the op-
Grafton of these selling stations on
the streets. In other cities and towns
the sellers of gasoline are building
filling stations on their own proper
ty so that the cars which. are to be
filled may go off the streets and on
the property of the gasoline dealer
while they are being filled. We pay
our money to build sidewalks and
streets for the people to walk and
ride on, and not for the purpose OF
allowing few individuals to monopo-
lie the streets for places to operate
mercantile establishments. In the end
such a requirement will mean a saw
ing for the sellers of gasoline and
oils, because a man whose business
causes the streets to be congested is
creating a nuisance, which sooner or
later, means an accident for which ne
is going to be held responsible. The
city will likewise respond in damages
for an accident or injury caused by
these filling stations and the conges-
ton incident to them. A word to the
wise should be sufficient. -: .
We believe that the city council, or
a committee of citizens along with
the city council, should revise all
rules for the protection of the public.
Have them short and simple and then
see that they are enforced. It will be
impossible for the present police force
of the city council to apprehend all
violators of the law. Could the city
council not appoint commission OF
citizens to serve for thirty days at a
time, with a like committee to succeed
it, and thus appoint a new committee
each month, for the purpose of de.
tecting violators Of the law? The mat
ter is of enough Importance we be-
lieve for the citizens to take. an in.
. terest in it.
We dislike to suggest the-appoint.
ment of other officers or the payment
iof other fees when cotton is low, but
we believe that the city council should
require every man who operates q
car on the streets 1of the city to have
| his brakes fully tested every sixty
days. A good automobile man like
i Joe M. Miller might be secured for
this purpose. He could notify every
driver of car in the city to present
his car for inspection at time and
place to be appointed for this pur-
pose. The brakes should be frightened
snd equalized and made effective for
stopping the car on short notice. A
charge of dollar for such inspection
would not be much, only six dollars
per year, and such expenditure would
be more than repaid in the saving
from bumps and knocks incident to
loose brakes.
With this requirement all cars could
be quickly stopped in the face OF
threatened accidents and many acci-
dents. might be averted.
