BRYAN MULE STORY
RECALLED BY DEATH

The tragic death of Louis Wood
ward at Goldheld recalls the eventful
career of the nationally famous
Bryan mule" says an exchange.
During the campaign of 1907 admir-
ers of the Nebraska statesman offered
magnificent Missouri mule to the
county anywhere in the United Sttaes
which returned the largest demo-
cratic majority. Esmeralda county
led easily by long odds and was
awarded the mule. which in due
course of time was shipped from the
ranch of William Jennings Bryan in
Nebraska with charges collect"
The animal was billed to the Demo-
cratic county central committee, OF
which John KunZ was a member at
that time. and the enthusiasm of the
Esmeralda following of the grape
Juice apostle was somewhat shocked
when the railroad presented bill
for $500. After some delay the bill
was liquidated and the mule became
an elephant on the hands of the
Democracy with a bill of $40 week
for board and lodging rolling up
every week The unterrified had no
use Tor the mule, and after the brute
became worthless as a publicity
stunt it was resolved to offer it for
sale

to get their alfalfa seed direct from a
Nebraska alfalfa grower. But the de-
mand for the seed is so great that
they sometimes are forced to procure
the seed nearer home to fill their or
ders. They are receiving many or
ders for seed from Georgia and
North Carolina.
In addition to the item Of seed,
much lime has been purchased
through the association for lining
the soil at a considerable saving to
the farmers. Since the organization
of the association was formed it has
saved the farmers who have affiliated
in the cooperative buying plan many
Thousands of dollars on these two
items alone, the saving some years
amounting to $4,000 or $4,000.
The probability is that Burke county
farmers and farmers in the adjacent
territory would find their land had a
sufficient quantity of lime in it, con-
s~equently they could avoid the ex-
pense Of purchasing lime.-Augusta

Alfalfa Grown in the South.

Alfalfa grows well in a soil in
which there is plenty admixture of

If Richmond, the whole of Burke and
portions of Jefferson counties should
produce fine alfalfa. There are large
deposits of mari near Shell Bluff and
Grifin's Landing, both of which are
N Burke. These deposits contain sea-
she'll and the fossiliferous remains of
marine animals, in the last stages OF
decomposition, showing that the lime
formed has mingled with the soil.
With the principal ingredient sup
piled naturally by the soil, alfalfa
should flourish in Burke and in the
contiguous territory of a similar ma
ture.
The farmers of York county, South
Carolina, have organized an alfalfa
association and are going into it ex-
tensively with other cover crops, in

The Disaster and the Game.

The professional players of the
cotton game, that is the buyers and
spectators in cotton, in New York,
Liverpool, New Orleans and other
cities, apparently are dealing with a
crop of 100000 bales in much the
same way that they have regarded a
crop of 16.5O0,000 bales. In a word,
the Southern cotton crop is their foot
ball to scuf1e over and kick about,
on their wv gridiron, and if, occa-
sionally, the bulls make a run for a
gain of $40 a bale that is their affair,
from which all players except bulls
and bears are excluded. The bear is
expected to get a run of $40 a bale
in his turn in the other direction a
day or two later.
The bystanders, the rest of the
world, r looking on the Southern
cotton crop of this year and calling
what has happened by it's name-a
disaster. The people out of the game
are saying /, and it is true, that not
in the history of the cotton industry
has a thing so serious come to pass.
And they are saying that soon or
late wearers of CLOTH. users of a
thousand articles made of cotton and
the manufacturers of them will suf-
fer on account of it. Unless all this
is true, unless the failure of the
Southern crop is a bad dream, some
body obtaining cotton at a low price
will make a great deal of money out
of it.
1t would be much better for the
world if this money were
earned by the products of six and
half million bales than sarnered by
the gay gentlemen who buy and sell, J
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1921-10-12

who play the game, who have not
the faintest understanding that rails
ing cotton under the best auspices,
much the less under boil weevil con.
ditions, is much more of a job than a
game.
If in the future the world is to
have the cotton that it will sorely
need it would be wise for the world
to encourage the growers to plant
it. The good old days, when always
there was more than enough cotton
to 90 around, are gone. 1t looks now
that unless the growers shall be both
assisted and encouraged their num-
bers will be tremendously reduced.
IF the Southern men who have cot
ton at this time wish to have a hand
in the game, the thing for them to
to do is not to go into it too strong
or too quickly. If they dump their
cotton on the market they deliver the
controlling trumps into the hands of
the professional players.
The terrible poverty of Europe and
the destruction of the buying power
of war afflicted peoples has been and
still is a great factor in the cotton
situation, but the drop from a crop
of SIG. 5OO,O 600 bales to 6,5oO,OOO is
a greater factor and so it will prove
in time.-The State.

product, the bane of the planters
life. Mr.. Tompkins saw that it was a
zeal economic waste, and for several
years his activities were devoted to
he building and financing Of cotton
iii mills. He lived to see the industry
one of the most prosperous in the
South backed by capital amounting
60 hundreds of millions and a prod
1ct also running into hundreds of
millions annually. He not only strove

School affiliated with Clemson Col
lege in South Carolina. Another re-
suit of his efforts was the provision
for a textile department in the State
College of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts. Encouraged by the work and
enthusiasm of Mr.. Tompkins, the
States of Mississippi and Texas fol-
lowed suit and established textile
training schools.
No summary of the life of Mr..
Tompkins would be complete with
out reference to his activities as a
journalist and publicist. He was ac-
tive in shaping the thought and SEN
timent of the South through the me-
dunn CT the Charlotte Observer,
msss-snffueHtiaf newspapers. Of the
country. He was untiring in his work
among his fellow men. He was a fine
speaker, although making no pretense
to lorid oratory. His manner in MAX
ing an address bespoke clarity and
force without iamboyant ornament
tation. In other words, he had the So
cial qualities of an industrial mis-
sionary, and one of his hiographers
sums up his splendid life in the scl-
lowing words:
He built a New South-of mills
and factories, of skilled labor and
machinery, or diversified and intensi-
fled agriculture, of improved railways
and highways, of savings banks and
loan associations-a New South also
of public schools, technical colleges
and expanded universities, of indie
pendent journalism and independent
thought, a New South of universal
education and democracy.-Com-
merce and Finance.

that if the South was ever to develop
textile skill that could compare favor
ably with that possessed by Lam
cashire, Leel, Chemnitz, Fall River,
or New Bedford, it would have to de-
velop not only it's own operatives but
managerial ability equipped with
technical skill and scientific knowl-
edge of a world-old industry. 1t was
with this end in view that he inter
ested himself in the establishment of
textile schools. One of the most not
able of these is the Clemson Textile

to insist upon a superior product, one
that would be highly acceptable to
the world as a food.
The larger activities of Mr.. Temp
kins, if any distinction can be made,
probably were devoted to the up
building of the Southern textile in
dustry. Here also he displayed eS-
t~raordinary breadth of vision and ex-
hibited the practical wisdom of a
Franklin. "Help to establish manu-
features at home," he said, "and help
to get foreign markets and ships to
bring back three dollars upwards
where we now bring back one"
Mr.. Tompkins always felt that the
South never would become really
raw material. He used to point out
that a crop of 100000 900 bales at six
cents per pound was worth only $500
00O, 900, whereas in its manufactured
state, half Of it could be easily worth
several times that amount. In one of
his speeches he said:
"In order to manufacture the en-
tire cotton crop of the South into
plain white and coarse colored goods,
there would be required something
like 30,O00,000 spindles and 1,O00,-
900 operatives. The population of the
Southern States may be ranked at
20, 600 900. Does anybody doubt that
out of this who would be willing to
work, to furnish 1000, 900 operatives
in cotton factories? Go into ordinary
cotton market towns where no cotton
factories have as yet been built, and
at any time from z a. m. to 10 p. m.
count the people who are loafing, and
the number found would more than
make up the quota of people for its
share Of the workers necessary to
manufacture the cotton crop"
Again he says:
practically all native people in
the South are farmers. The manufac-
now being done by Southern
furnishes evidence of the IA
cility with which the Southern far
.er extends his operations. Almost
every Southern man who has gone
into manufacturing is still a farmer
and will continue to be so. The escape
Of the cotton farmer from approach
poverty is not in trying to curtail
production and increase the price,
but in devising means to keep the
cheap cotton at home and in utiliz-
surplus time in turning it into
cloth worth eighteen cents and up
wards per pound.
D. A. Tompkins did not stop with
preaching the gospel of industrial ex-
pansion. He did not stop with urging
to build mills or confne him
self to providing the new plants with
machinery. He strove with all his
to create a new industrial spir-
t among his people. He used several
agencies-in this missionary task. He
lid all he could to promote liberal
but the phase of the work
hat was dearest to his heart was the
establishment of trade schools. For
more than twenty years he served as
member of the Board of Trustees

Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, and
saw this institution work it's way

LAW ENFORCEMENT

BY F. H. AMBROSE

Whether enforcement Of the : law
should begin with the bootlegger or
the state official will be discussed by

The question of whether state off
Gals. or bootleggers who break the

to justice will be the main theme of
the sermon, which is the result Of a
letter received by Mr.. Ambrose and
other clergymen from Attorney Gen

operation from the pastors of the
state in the enforcement of the pro-
hibition and similar laws.
