1921 Budget to
Total $167,463,
Council Decides

Careful consideration was given
each item of the 1921 budget for
the city Of Salem last night when
the council held its special meet
ing.
A cut in the appropriation for
the Salem band from $500 to
1880 was made, but Oscar A.
Steelhammer, director of the band,
who was present at the meeting,
stated that the musicians would
be glad to offer two concerts a
week regardless. The allowance
for the band had been originally
placed at $1,000.
The fire department was grant
ed $24,061. instead Of the $S3,061
requested by Fire Chief Hutton.
Prior to the third reading of
the ordinance bill, Alderman Sim
eral made a motion that the bill
be laid on the table with a view.
to considering bill calling for a
special election. The motion was
lost, and as result it is probable
that no special election will be
held.
The proclamation Of the mayor.
declaring the results Of the recent
city election was read at the first
of the meeting.
A request from Willamette uni
versity students, asking to dis

They Sow Cotton Broadcast.

In his lecture on the Indian mis-
sionary field in the Yorkville Asso-
ciaIe Reformed Church last Thurs
DAY night, says the Yorkville En-
quirer. Rev. Jay w. Ransom told
about the primitive farm operations
in that country. The farmers, as a
rule, he said do their plowinS with
wooden plows and use the same prim
tive methods generally that were fol-
lowed in the days of Abraham. and
among other things he mentioned the
fact that even cotton is sOwed broad
cast. Especially struck with this
assertion Views and Interviews, took
occasion after the lecture 10 ask Mr..
Ransom more particularly about the
matter. lie gave repeated assurance
that he hId not been misunderstood.
The seed are broadcast rather thinly
over the ground, without regard to
rows and the cultivation is such as is
required by the circumstances, each
stalk being hoed separately. There
is not a great deal of cultivation, of
course, as it is not a great while be-
fore the plants grow to point where
the farmer can no longer get among
them. The average yield is some
thing like from $50 to 200 pounds to
the acre. Mr.. Ransom said that the
natives are gradually being taught
new methods in some sections. with
greatly improved results.

Too Many Lynchings.

From 1899 to 1919 lynchings mobs
an this country put 3,061 persons to
death. Georgia had 3S6 lynchings,
Mississippi 373, Texas 325 and Louis
lana Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee
Florida. Kentucky and South Caro-
lima follow in order. In Indiana
there were 10.
1t is rare that any effort is made
to punish those who have taken part
dn such proceedings, and though pub
lic sentiment is against mob-law -
when a mob somewhere else does the
lynchMg-it has been noted that
mobs almost everywhere but in few
states are quick TO form when a hat
ed crime has been committed.
Only the federal government can
stop it. and Representative Moore OF
Pennsylvania, former newspaper
man, has a bill in congress that
threatens the safety Of the lynchingS
industry.

The automobile has a stanch de-
fender in one of Dillon county's big
gest farmers and broadest-guaged
men He says the automobile is the
balance wheel of business, and If II
had not been for the automobile farm
products would be selling at outrag-
eous prices. He reaches his conclu-
sions from the fact that the automo-
Bile takes up all the surplus money
and men are forced to continue to
work to produce those things which
they haven't the money to buy. II
there had been nothing the people
could spend their. money for they
would be rolling in wealth and pro-
duction would drop TO an alarming
degree This is rather an unusual
view to take of the situation but
somehow we feel like agreeing with
this gentleman in the conclusions he
reaches.

There are two occasions in mans
life when only his virtures are re-
nembered and his faults are for
gotten. One is when he dies and the
other is when he voluntarily retires
from public office. The reason for
the former is that he is not here to
defend himself and the other is that
only good officers voluntarily retire
from public duty-the other kind are
retired by the people. If Comptroller
General Osborne has any faults we
have never heard of them, but of virv
lures he is the possessor of many. He
has made South Carolina an able and
efficient officer and the announce
ment that he will not stand for re-
election will be heard with regret By
every citizen who, stands for clean
and progressive government. 1t is
Segrettable that South Carolina pays
its officers such pitiably low salaries
chat competent men cannot afford to
Aold office. }

..Do 1T FOR SOUTH CAROLINA"
Lexington-Dispatch News.

Lexington Dispatch News.
The South Carolina Development
Board was particularly happy in It's
selection of a slogan. DO 1t lot
South Carolina" is a motto Whlch
bleathesso much Of the spirit oil the
motto selected BY the founders OIL
this commonwealth. that it must III
spire our people TO gerater effort.
Carolinians have ever been willing 10
do and die for their native state anu
have lived up to the high ideal OF pa
triotism which inspired their ances-
tors when they adopted as the state S
motto "animis opibusque paratl.
But the time has come when we
must recognize that we are Tagging
in the race of progress, that We must
wake up and realize more fully the
wonderful assets which nature mas
lavished upon us and be prepared 10
more fully utilize these resources. In
undertaking to arouse this sentiment
and to so crystalize it that 1t will pear
fruit in a general awakening along
all lines of industry the Development
Board has undertaken service LOT
the people which should merit the
full and earnest cooperation OF every
citizen of the state.
With vast areas of undeyeloped
land, in some places as alluyial as
the great delta of the Mississippi. we
have been content to sit idly by and
turn it over to the malarial mosquito
or the shiftless negro. A systematlc
and thorough development OF the
large area of fertile land now lying
idle would be of benefit not only to
tho immediate section concerned but
in greater or less degree to the en-
tire State. But this is not the only
program of the development board
and it would be a pity if the idea
should generally prevail that TINS
was its sole object. The plan adopted
BY the board for development is
broad enough to cover a widerscope
than the utilization of waste land.
The development Of reliable cash
markets for varied products of the
soil is also an important feature OF
the work to be undertaken wnlch
should prove of great and lasting ben
eff to people of all classes over the
entire state.
The development board is organiz-
ed along right lines and it is capable
of doing great work for the state.
Its success will depend largely upon
the response of the people themselves
upon the financial backing which is
given the organization. Carolinians
who are able to catch vision of the
great progress which their state is
capable OF making and who have a
desire to aid in preserving our pres
en-. prosperity and in further devel-
opment will not hesitate to contribute
OF their means to make certain the
..ccess Of the undertaking. We Wi!
benefit by the activities OF the board
= in proportion to our contribution TO
its success.

SUCCESS WITH SWEETS
Potato Growers and Warehousement
Must Organize.

Clemson College June u Wher-
ever sweet potatoes are being grown,
there should be storage houses to
care for them. Yet the building Of
a storage house does not necessarily
mean that there will be potatoes
grown to fill it, nor does the use OF
certified Government plans insure
success. Therefore. the growers and
warehousemen should get together,
forecast conditions, and act accord
Iingly says, Geo. E. Prince. Assistant
Horticulturist Of the Extension Ser
vice of Clemson College.
The successful growers and ware
housement elsewhere are organizing,
as they have been in the game long
enough to see it's disadvantages as
we'll as its advantages, and to learn
that failure or success depends very
largely on the individual as in other
enterprises. The South Carolina
growers who must compete with the
experienced growers of the other
Southern states should therefore
think over the proposition carefully
before entering this undeveloped field
on an extensive scale. The sweet po-
tato industry is a most promising one
and has a bright future in South
Carolina If handled in the proper way
otherwise, it may result in disastrous
failure.
Our growers and warehousemen
should begin to think about an Or
ganization to take care of the mar
keting of the sweet potatoes. The
experiences of the associations OF
truckers in the state readily show
that a potato association would be
one Of the best means for giving the
sweet potato industry a good "send
off," And until there is an associa-
ton to advertise the product and
help open up new markets. the mar
keting problem will be serious
drawback. A meeting will be held
ir Columbia the latter part of June
or the first of July for the purpose
of organizing a sweet potato growers
association.
