THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1e, 1922

The right direction for Union Coun-
ty farmers is the live-at-home. plan.
We will have a prosperous county
when that good day arrives. 1t may
not be that the farmer will handle as
much money. but a larger portion of
what he does handle will stick. 1t is
the dollar that sticks that counts. If
you get thousand dollars for your
cotton crop and pay out the entire
thousand to make it and for living ex-
penscs. You have lost money. Ten dol
lars net profit 4 year would beat that.
We are now at the turning of the
ways. If we are wise we will choose
the more food and feed stutfs route.
Truly the boil weevil is going to prove
more 4 friend than the reverse.

Will "Uncle" Joe
Make The Race

Danville, Ill.,, Feb. 15.-Will Uncle
Joe Cannon make the race for con-
cressman from this district? This is
the question that is admittedly trou-
tling number of men who openly
aspire to fill the veterans chair in
the United States house of represen-
tatives but who just as openly an
nounce they will not run if "Uncle"
Joe intends to.
Only one man has thus far broken
these ranks. He is State Represen-
tative William P. Holiday, who an
rounced recently that he would be
candidate before the April primaries
regardless of "Uncle" Joe's decision.
Just what Congressman Cannon's
political intentions for the immediat
future are, is a question. A few
months ago when it was announced in
Chicago that Uncle Joe would not
again be candidate, preparations
were being made by several to an
nounce their candidates., when word
was received direct from Danville's
famous member of congress to the eff
feet that he had not authorized such
announcement and that he would in
form his constituents of his intentions
in good time.
This blighted the budding hopes of
local leaders, with the single excep-
tion of Representative Holiday.
Cannon's relatives and local man
ayers declare they have received no
instructions from him regarding the
matter. In the meantime Holiday j

Wine Growers
To Meet in Paris

Paris, Feb. ia National Week
ior Wine is the title which has been
given to a convention of representa-
ives of wine-growers and sales
gents that will sit in Paris under the
presidency of Former Minister of
Agriculture, j. H. Ricard, from
larch 13 to 10.
The closing Of the United States
markets has caused a tremendous in
sury to the wine trade in France.
he fact that the Scandinavian states
nave also gone dry or on rations of
ntoxicants and South American vine
yards are daily becoming larger~and
more productive thus restricting i'm
,orts to the lowest .ebb in years, has
weakened the French wine growers
their danger.
Wine stocks have been accumulated
although there has been no decrease
the price of wine to the trade of
onsumer.
One of the most important articles
IN the agenda Of the convention is
he following: Investigate and re-
,ort on the sale of wine in the United
States: how public opinion in the
United States is disposed toward the
present dry regime; is there any rea-
son to suppose that some modifica-
ion will be adopted allowing wines
% enter. What are the frauds in ex-
;stence by which the present law is
)eing evaded."
Another article reads: Establish
ing closer relations between Ameri-
can wine buyers and French wine
selling agents in order to ensure the
authenticity of French wine and
avoid Justification. Collaboration in
attempt to revert to former interna-
tional agreements and internal legis-
!ation in the United States"

Uncle and Nephew
Die From Explosion

The body OF Burnett Griffin, Il
year old lad who lost his life in a
boiler explosion Monday afternoon,
was taken to CASTOR, his home, yes
terday morning, and the funeral serv-
ices will be held at Sandy Run church
at o'clock this afternoon. Funeral
services for James Griffin, who also
lost his life in the tragedy at CASTOR
were held at Sandy Run yesterday af-
ternoon.
James Griffin was Burnett Griffin's
uncle, and the former was acting as
fireman and the latter standing
around with a view to packing
shingles, when the accident occurred
Began Griffin, father of Burnett and
brother of James, was in Columbia
yesterday morning to take Burnett's
body to CASTOR, and he gave the de-
tails of the tragedy. He himself was
blown 20 feet and covered with ashes
and debris, but strangely escaped un
hurt. James Griffin died almost in
stantly and Burnett Griffin expired
about 7 o'clock Monday night at tn
Baptist hospital, Columbia, about
half an hour after he reached the in
Urinary for an operation.
Began Griffin and several Castor
citizens who came to Columbia with
him yesterday expressed the opinion
that hung steam gauge caused th'
explosion but added that this was
only a theory and that the exac
cause was not definitely known. TIL
boiler was of 40 horse power type and
was being used at Sightler G. Guig
nard's saw mill and shingle factory
which is located at the town of Gas
ton, Lexington county. The boiler
was blown about 100 yards and abou
so feet in the air by the explosion.
The double tragedy caused wide
spread grief nj the CASTOR communi-
ty where the Griffins are well known
and well liked. James Griffin, who
was % years of age, is survived by
his wife, one child, his mother, and
several brothers and sisters. Bur
nett Griffin is survived by his mother
and Father, Mr.. and Mrs. Began
Griffin, and five brothers and sisters
James Griffin was the son and Bur
nett Griffin the grandson of the late
Henry Griffin of Gaston.-The State.

DAIRY INDUSTRY IN SPARTAN.
BURG.

Just at this time in all parts of
South Carolina we hear much con.
cerning the dairy industry in it's vari-
Gus phases to supplement the ravages
of the boil weevil and make for an
other line of profit for the farmer 9th
er than cotton, insuring q profit be-
cause it furnishes a marketable prod
uct in small package, namely,
cream; the greater part Of the feed
produced on the farm and fed to the
dairy cow is returned to the farm as
manure, thus saving materially a
large fertilizer bill; because dairy feed
crops are in themselves soil builders ;
because those feeds are easily and
cheap!y grown in South Carolina and
finally milk and it's products go far
TO cheaper the household foods-fur-
niShing natures most nourishing food
which would not otherwise be avail
able.
1t is the duty Of the dairy extension
department of Clemson College to aid
and assist the farmers of the state in
promoting this profitable industry
not as substitute for cotton but a
supplement to it. 1t is also the duty
Of that department TO direct and co-or.
dnate production with the marketing
agencies, which furnish a market Tor
the dairy products-milk and cream.
To the average farmer of Spartan
eurg county and adjoining communi-
ties cream production is of the most
interest and all indications point to
their daily increasing interest in the
production Of cream for butter max
ing. However, those same farmers
are at once asking where am I to find
n suitable and adjacent market for
my product?" To those farmers of
the above district we have an answer.
The Spartanburg Creamery Of Spar
tanburg is now ready for operation
and is able to handle all the cream
the farmers produce. In order that
there might be mutual understand
ing between producer and the manu-
facturcr the dairy field man for the
Piedmont district together with Coun-
ty Agent Carnes working with the
Spartan Creamery are arranging for
n meeting Of all farmers of Spartan
burg county and adjacent communities
interested in shipping cream and milk
to meet in Spartanburg, look over the
plant and become acquainted with the
method of buying, manufacturing, and
learn something of the proper and
profitable methods of shipment At
that time any questions that the farm
ers might have relating to either the
marketing Of their product or the pro-
duction Of cream or milk will be taken
up and explained. All farmers inter-
ested in this industry should make a
special effort to attend this meeting

George Town, May Is, 1916.

Dear Mother:
I am happy to be informed by
Sanke, that you are well, but was
disappointed in not having the pleas
ing satisfaction of receiving a letter
from you, but you must be excused,
as other affairs must employ your
time, but my other relations / can
rot excuse. Sister Ann is over today
and looks well. am sorry I did not
know that the Sacrament was to be
administered today, that 1 might have
informed you, as you appeared to be
so desirous to come when it would be-.
I have no news to communicate to
you that will amuse or interest you,
but perhaps it may engage fathers
attention to hear that the allied
armies of Austria, Great Britain,
Russia, ETC., are, as the English ac-
count says, making great preparations
to destroy the outlaw (as they call
Bonaparte). But it appears to me,
even from the English account, that
France must be much in his favor.
1t is stated that Louis waited, with
100000 men, the attack of Bonaparte's
forces, which consisted of only $4,000,
but at the moment of the expected
attack, behold Bonaparte, attended by
only two men, rode up in his chariot
with great force md his head bare,
and with open arms. Louis men all
at once exclaimed - Long live the
Emperor Napoleon the Greatv The
two armies then met and mutually
embraced each other.
/ know not what may be the issue
of this counter revolution. / hearth
ly wish the English to be subdued,
but again / as earnestly desire an end
to be put to the existence of a man
that has SO much disturbed the peace
IF Europe, and filed the world with
awe of his arms.
1t is said that his wish is not to
extend the boundary of France, but
to remain peaceably at home, if they
will let him alone, but his designs
are unknown to any but himself /;
therefore no one can say that this
will be done. 1t is reasonable to sup
pose that man of such disposition
as he possesses will never content
himself with living peaceably, when
he ponders how far his dominions
were once extended, and with what
power he was %ffdowcd.
All that I can say is that the Lord
will direct, that He will do what He
sees proper and no one can contend
against Him.
If convenient to you, I would like,
when an opportunity again offers, for
you to send me some raspberries and
some bread like that you had when
was up to see you last.
Your affectionate and obedient son,
William Skinner.

Now that we have secured sufficient
subscriptions TO a cannery to enable
US to organize and plan for business
this season, we are concerned to Sc
cure from the farmers pledge to pro-
Guce something to can. We will, in a
very few days, be ready to start an
active campaign for pledges, and will
enter into a written contract with
those who agree to our plan, taking
the entire output from the acre or
half acre, planted at fixed price.
We may be wrong, but our conviction
is that there is no vital reason why a
canney cannot be operated SO as to
pay small return to the investor and
it IS certainly a fact that 1t will give
an outlet for the farmers products.
We must remember that this is but a
beginning. There is almost no limit
to the possibilities that are in this di-
rec.ion. And, too, let US remember
that we are entering what, to us, is
a new field. We must be ready to
meet some discouragements. Nothing
can succeed without running the
gauntlet of possible reverse. If we
can win in this small beginning there
is no telling what great things we
may find resulting.

Why Not Examine
The Candidates

Representative Clinkscales, of An
derson county, is to be commended for
his disposition to reduce the cost of
the state government; but the method
by which he would gain his object does
not appear to be worth serious con-
sideration. He would reduce the pay
Of the members of the legislature
from $400 to $500; the salary of the
governor from $4,000 to $4,000; the
salary of the lieutenant governor from
$3.50 to $3.50, and the salaries of the
comptroller-general, the state treas
urer, the secretary of state, the super
'ntendent of education, the railroad
commissioners, the commissioner of
agriculture, the adjutant-general and
the insurance commissioner from ST.
500 to $4,000. 1t may be true-at
least we should not be willing to say
that it is not true-that the average
member of the legislature is really
not worth more than $500 to the state
for his services in it's law making
body-Representative Clinkscales is
better judge of his colleagues than
we and knows how much they are
really worth to the state; but would
it not be better economy to elect bet
ter men and pay them more for their
services than the beggarly sum now
begrudged to the members of the leg
islature?
Would it not be of great advantage
to the state and all its people and in
terests if candidates for the legisla-
ture should be required to stand a
civil service examination to establish
their eligibility? Candidates for ex-
ecutive and administrative offices in
the Federal service are required to
stand such examination; why should
not candidates for the state legisla-
ture be required to do likewise? In
stead of shaving their pay, it were
better to weigh their fitness for the
service required of them.
The suggestion of Mr.. Clinkscales
that the salaries of the "higher-ups"
be reduced is utterly without merit,
in our opinion. There is no doubt
that there are men in the state who
would jump at the Office of governor
with a salary of $4,000 attached, and
shoals of deserving Democrats" who
would undertake to run the state
treasury or lay and collect the taxes,
or manage all the public schools in
the state, or direct the military estab-
lishment or any one of these activities
for the sum Of $4,000 the year; but
poor pay, poor preach" If Mr..
Clinkscales would like to do something
worth while, in addition to securing
the passage Of law requiring all
candidates for public office in the state
to stand searching civil service ex-
animation, why should he object to
the introduction of a resolution pro-
viding for a special election on the
question of amending the constitution
so as to abolish the state senate? In
that way considerable financial saw
ing would be effected for the taxpay-
crs and more prompt and better serv-
ice be assured. At the present seq
sion of the general assembly surely
the people Of the state have had abun-
dant cause to take the true measure
