Turner Phillips, a tenant farmer of Cherokee County, the father of seven children, wrote to Governor Manning asking his advice whether lie should move to town to educate bis children and setting forth the many disadvantages he lives under in the count -y The Governor gave the matter close attention and his letter in reply advising Mr. Phillips to remain on the farm will be of great interest throughout the State. The Governor is a farmer himself, and. therefore, his advice is from actual experience. The letetrs, as given out here late this afternoon, should prov? very interesting and helpful to others in situations like Mr. Phillips. The letters follow in full: "Gaffney, S. C., Sept. 11,1915. "The Hon R. I. Manning, Governor, Columbia, S C.?Dear Sir: 1 take much pleasure iri writing you to-day, the object being as to whether :* J ~J..:?ui~ \ji nut ii? wuuiu uc au"iaauic iui <% man of seven in the family, consisting of four boys and one girl, my wife and self, living iri nice location, on rented land, to resign position of farming and move to town. "I ask you as a personal friend of mine to give this letter consideration. The ages of my children range from 17 to 7. By moving to the city I would have better educational advantages, *3nd it is my whole desire to give my children a fair education. Please give me a few minutes of your time advising me as to what is best for my family and myself. Please give me an early reply on this important subject, and I will probably be able to help others by having your letter published in our local county newspaper. "I am a poor ms& and have never accumulated much of this world's roods. "Hoping you will give this letter your immediate consideration. I remain, as ever, Your friend, "(Signed) M. Turner Phillips." Governor's Litter. "Columbia, S. C., Sept. 15, 1915. "Mr. M. Turner Phillips, R F D, No. 2, Gaffney, S. C. "Dear Mr. Phillips: I received your letter several days ago and have given the question which you propose c.ireful and thoughtful consideration. I appreciate your desire for the educational advancement of your children, but there are some matters which we must seriously consider before taking the step you propose. In the outset I must advise you to remain on the farm if possible. "One of the big problems of our State at*the present time is to make farm life so profitable and so attracts that it will hold the peop-e in the country and stop the movement into cur crowded cities. You say you are a small farmer and have not accumulated much of this world's goods Years no-fi T nc n wAtinw man moo facing practically the same problem that you are facing to-day. My choice at that time was the farm. I believe that with the proper effort more money, more happiness, more contentment is to be found ^mong the men of South Carolina who till the soil. "The city has many advantages to offer, and also many disadvantages. You must consider, among other things, the extra items of expense. In your farm home you have no electric light bills, no coal bills, no high monthly rentals, no extra expenditure for clothing and many of the ether extravagances that go to make up the life of our people in the cities; on the other hand, you have your 'ire wood, you have your food crops, your hofrs, cattle and live stock, and, above all, you have that atmosphere of freedom and independence that cannot be found in the city. "South Carolina is making a constant and wonderful stride in matters of education and in imnrnvomentc in methods of farming. It .has been my hope and my ambition to see the day when as good educational advantages are offered to the child of the rural and mill communities as are given to the children of our cities. By this I mean good, sound, practical horse-sense education without any frills. In your own county educational progress has been remarkable. If you are not now living near a good country school, I would advise you to cast about, this fall, and find a j/'ece of land which you will be able to cultivate successfully, that is located within a convenient distance of one of these schools. Buy Land If Possible. "When you have found th?s piece of land my advice is to purchase same if possible, on easy terms, paying a little each year. Then map out your plans to farm on a business basis; don't work your farm in a haphazard, happy-go-lucky way. I would advise -ou to consult Clemson College farm demonstrators and ask their advice (Continued on Page Eight) THE ROSENBERG M DEPART!
