A SAFE CROP.

Cotton and tobacco are easy crops
To turn into money, but the trouble
is the producer is always at the mer-
c? OF the buyer. Food crops are not
quick money crops, but they are safe
crops because they can be consumed
at home.
One of the best food crops this
section can raise is the sweet potato
crop. 1t is not quick money crop.
but what the producer cannot sell at
fair price he can consume at home
Last year. and even into the late
spring. kiln dried sweet potatoes sold
i'll Dillon at 50 per bushel. There
were plenty OF willing bu; ars at that
price Several car loads We're shipped
into the county from Georgia and
Florida points.
This year the county has two dry
ing plants of sufficient capacity to
take care of more than enough pota-
toes TO supply the county.
Kiln dried potatoes can be kept
and marketed throughout the year. If
the local market price is not attrac-
tive enough the potatoes can be
stored at home or shipped to other
markets where the price is better.
These advantages make the sweet
potato one of the safest crops that
can be grown in the county.
Vine cuttings from standard varie-
ties are plentiful and every farmer,
sfare-cropper and tenant should
plant patch of potatoes. At current
market prices the local drying plants
can take care of $5O,OOO,OO worth of
potatoes, and that amount will pay
n fourth of the total taxes of the
county.

HIGHER TAXES.

The people are prone to blame high
taxes on state and national govern
aents. They are right to a certain
extent. but an investigation will show
that large percentage of taxes goes
right into county and municipal cot
fers.
The chief causes of local high
taxes are improvements of every sort
and the increased costs of the school
system. The latter expenditure does
not cause discomfort; in fact, no mon.
ey can be spent to better advantage
than in improving the schools
School improvements increase the tax
rate, of course but education and in
telligence is worth the money. Addi-
tional cost of better teachers is also
worth the money
But just now the cost of road i'm
provemcnts is generally far beyond
reason and the possible ensuing ben
efits. Recently an expert made a re-
port in which it was stated that the
chief necessity of country highways
vas smoothness, and that a we'll built
gravel road is the cheapest kind to
construct and the cheapest to main
tain. Main highways, he said. could
be paved with permanent material
but it would break any county to at
tempt to pave every highway in this
fashion
The need for smooth roads still re-
naming, then why not go in fol
gravel roads to a greater extent? II
has been computed that the cost oi
gravel road-about $500 a mile
IL less than the interest charges or
a mile of road built at $4,000 {
mile. Some smooth highways cos
more than the latter sum a mile {
remarkable extravaganza. Most of thu
railroad tracks of the country cos
less. or at least little more, per mil,
than this.
The truth is that the road building
operations throughout the country
laudable as such development is, ha!
been an industry that has been fin
ancially much overdone; and wha
amounts to a species OF graft i:
without doubt part Of the system
The cost of road materials is be
ing kept high. 1t is charged chat the
cement manufacturers have a regu
IaT combination that in effect fixes
the price all over the country. High
freight rates add to the cost.
1t is time that there be an awaken.
ening in connection with a prime
reason for high taxation. The way to
reduce taxation is to begin right al
