do. In 1920 Mr.. James was getting
on well, but the price of cotton took
a drop and only a good production
of milk kept him going. The COWS
enabled him to hold his cotton for
better prices without danger of Wis
it from the sheriff.
Formerly it was the custom on this
farm to grow 20 acres Of cotton to
the plow. Now cotton is still grown
in spite of the weevil, but the acre
age has been cut to acres to the
plow. Milk is the important crop
now. Besides producing direct re-
turns, the cows, with the help of vel
vet veans and reduced cotton acre
age have cut down the fertilizer
bill. In 1920 the farm used 160 tons
of commercial (or purchased) fer
tilizer. This year on 21 tons were
used.
Mr.. James is now successful
dairyman and cattle breeder, but
there is one regret that will be with
him to the end of his days. He sums
it up when he says: 81 should have
made the change rs years ago."

some time had elapsed that quiet was
restored and N. j. Frederick of Co.
lunbia nominated Joseph w. Tolbert
as state chairman for four years. The
name of John F. Jones was also
placed before the convention by DR..
]. S. Levy of Florence, but Major
Jones asked that it be withdrawn and
Mr.. Tolbert was elected unanimously.
The election of members of the
executive committee was then enter
ed into and John F. Jones of Colun1-
bia and H. C. Hardy if Spartanburg
were elected members at large. 9th
er members were as follows: First
district, T. H. Pinckney, A. j. Glenn

After the executive committee had
been elected H. B. Rikard of New

there was expressed desire to know
why it was that some appointments
had not been given men of color. Ma
jor Jones of the internal revenue de-
partment told of the civil service reg
ulations. L. A. Hawkins then present

Frederick W. Redfern then read
the Republican platform of the state
of South Carolina and submitted
number of resolutions which were
adopted.
The closing paragraphs of the plat
form were as follows:
eve heartily endorse the assiduous
efforts of the Hon. Joseph W. Toll
bert as the leader of the Republican
forces of South Carolina. His work
in the state and in Washington is
worthy of commentator and praise.
He has earned any honor that is with

S125 Cow Paid for Herself in
1875 Days.

'sThe boil weevil made it necessary
to change from cotton to daisying
and livestock growing, but the eradi-
cation of the cattle tick made the
change possible" said A. L. James
of Darlington, South Carolina, a re-
cent convert to purebred cattle.
"We had ticks on our farm" he
said, "and at that time our IL cows
were worth about $500 for the whole
lot. Now we have "A Guernseys, in
Guiding young stock, and they are
easily worth an average of $500 a
head.
Soon after the fever ticks were
cleaned out in this section of the
state, Mr.. James bought good cow
for s125, and in 125 days she had
paid for herself in addition to pay
ing for her keep. The price of milk
is not so high now as it was imme-
diately following the taxing on OF
the last tick, but still the making OF
milk is profitable. One factor that
has had much to do with it is the
feed, which is large home grown. Cot
tonseed is exchanged for cottonseed
meal. Hay is made of oats and vetch
and alfalfa.
But the best crop of all on the
James farm, not excepting cotton and
corn, in the owners opinion, is the
velvet bean. 1t is easy to grow 60
bushels of the beans in the pod to the
acre on land that will grow 80 bush

paper representatives were called to
the platform and provided with ia,
bic. After few Introductory eXer,
cises, Mr.. Tolbert advanced to the
front of the stage and made the first
speech of the day.
"Two parties are necessary for the
best interests of any state," he said,
..The spirit of America is not to dis
franchise but to give liberty. Mem
bers of cur party pay taxes; they
work the roads; they engage in the
battles of the nation; why should
they not have privileges that are de-
MED them in the Southland? / have
no mission but to build up our state.
For 25 years l have tried to get the
right guaranteed US. We are not here
for any purpose but to better condi-
tions in South Carolina. We are not
here to run any party man for Office;
we are here for the peace and pros
perity of South Carolina. / love this
state as much as any man; my peo-
pie came from County Antrim, Ire
land, 149 years ago, and no one else
has ever owned the land that the Toll
berts own today; We are not clamor-
ing for any thing we have no right
to.
"The time has come when there
should be two parties in our state.
Every one is supposed to have some
political rights-and we can not be
disfranchised by a grin nor sneer.
We believe the constitution of South
Carolina should be enforced in every
particular, especially where mems
rights are concerned.
'sWhen we go to the places of reg
istration with our tax receipts and
say Register me- we should be reg
istered if the registration law is valid.
I have fought for enfranchisement,
and have been bufeted and beaten,
but i am not discouraged and feel
that there is hope ahead for US.
81 see here ten times as many men
as were ever at any Lily White con-
vention; I see here men of wealth
and influence. Our party has awaken
ed-as the Lily Whites went the 'sho
nuf' whites came-and they are not
the kind that wither in bottle, but
men who can help us win our fight. !"
He spoke briefly of the fight made
against the Lily White faction and
of that against "John McLaurin, Doc
Adams & Co.," and said, "The Tol-
bert organization has gotten every
appointment from the president of
the United States in South Carolina

Republicans Hold State Con-
vention in Negro
Theatre.


AT the state convention of the Un--
ion Republican party of South Caro-
lima, held yesterday in the Lincoln
treatre on Washington street, Joseph
w. Tolbert was reelected state chair
man of the executive committee, a
party platform was adopted, numer-
GUS speeches were made in which it
was said that brighter day for the
Republican party in this state was
dawning, and several resolutions
were adopted. In one of these reso-
lutions, the convention indorsed Jo-
seph W. Tolbert for United States
marshal of the Western district OF
South Carolina and requested that
the appointment be recommended by
the judiciary committee and confirm
ed by the senate.
The convention was we'll attended
and the large number of white men
in attendance was especially notice
able; it was said that approximately
IS per cent of the delegates present
were white. One woman delegate,
Alethia Sweat, from Dorchester
county, attended the convention and
was introduced from the platform.
For time she was the only
negro woman present in the theatre.
She sat on the platform throughout
the proceedings of the convention.
Throughout the convention the
power welded by Joe Tolbert over
the delegates and the high place ne
held in their esteem was manifested
when he, in the course of an address
said eve want men, white men and
black men, in our party-men who
love South Carolina and who want to
see her grow and prosper-and you
can look around you now and see that
it can not be said that there is no
one in the Republican party in South
Carolina except Joe Tolhert and two
negroes" when he uttered those
statements, tremendous cheers greet
ed his remarks and the convention
applauded him vigorously. Again
when ]. R. Levy of Florence made a
speech in which he said that Mr.. Tol,
bert held the position of national
committeeman and also that of state
chairman and said eff the Republican
party in the state is composed OF
more than one man, it ought to di'
vide things up" and suggested that
John F. Jones Of Blacksburg be
made state chairman, there were
calls for "Tolbert." Almost every
man-mho- addressed the convention
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1922-09-27


and every appointment due to be
made has been made"
At the conclusion Of Mr.. 'Tolbert's
speech there was prolonged cheering
and cries of "Tolbert! Tolbertp'
Call of Roll.
n. H. Mobley called the roll by
counties, the delegates responding as
;heir names were called. T. E. Lewis
served as assistant secretary with
Mobley. R. H. Richardson of Sumter
presided while the roll was being
called.
After the roll call Ernest F. Coch-
ran of Anderson was made tempo
rary chairman and made a brief
speech, in which he spoke of the per-
sonnel of the convention, saying that
:sthe conventions of the last rs years
can not compare in personnel with
this convention" A committee on
credentials was appointed and while
this committee was preparing a re-
port a number Of speeches were
made. Bishop W. D. Chappelle stress
ed the Importance of registration; j.
D. E. Meyer of Charleston said he
had once been Democrat and told
why he had become Republican
"only fool never changes his mind, I"
he said, in speaking on "Why People
of South Carolina are Democrats. !"
M. B. Lee of Lancaster said he liked
Mr.. Meyers speech, as he liked to
hear a .converted" man talk; "T'm
glad" he said, "when the colored
man has got something the white man
is willing to associate with. We'll
help make South Carolina a great
state" Turning to Mr.. Tolbert he
said, "You would not be my friend
if you made me postmaster at Colum-
bia," and voice in the audience
said: "No-someone would kill you"
IS. j. Leaphart said the convention
was the most representative he had
seen in South Carolina. j S. Earle OF
Spartanburg said the Republican
party was more alive than it had been
for years. D. A. Perrin of George
town in a short speech paid q tribute
to the leadership of Mr.. Tolbert. The
Rev. Frederick C. Redfern of Bene-
dict college made a speech in which
he told of the achievements of the
Republican party; Maj. ]. F. Jones
and ]. A. Tolbert, Jr., also spoke.
