In order to afford pasturage, the woods are annually burned 'Wer, thus destroying all the vegetable matter out of which hu.nus would be made to enrich the soil. "One need go no further for explanation than to the ftict thai these people |t.? * ? I ... ? I . -Thave never had training of any kindi They hav^ never seen modern farming and they will not believe what they are told about it. They are all convinced that with the same money they could make {wlce as much on the same area as the coast -experiment station, for instance makes. "However, they have reached a point w{iere they wish their children taugit. This is the open door to their regeneration. It is an ordinary business proposition for the state to furnish them this education in order to make them self-supporting citizens and thus put millions of acres on the tax-bocks which now yield no return. The Remedy. "The remedy involves nothing new/' Mr. Rice went on to say. "There is no experiment to be tried; but a plan already approved by praptlcally universal use. As in old times South Carolina had a state university without common schoolR, so now it has a statq agricultural and mechanical college without preparatory schools. Experience throughout the world has shown that the ordinary common or high schools are practically worthless i'or industrial education. The point of view and the aim are both wrong from ar? industrial standpoint. Agriculture and industry are not side issues but the main Business ox me. nauimh iw them should 'be special and direct. "Any family in this reglop," Mr. Rice went on to say, "can live in a style that a millionaire can no.t surpass, by energy and judgment, applied to the production of fruits, vegetables; poultry, hogs 'and live stock, "the basts of agricultural wealth the world over is the cow; and nowhere is it easier to raise cattle than on the coastal plain, whereas probably there are less good cattle raised thtin on any equal' extent of territory in me United States. "The force that can redeem the low! country lies within It. The force of thouiuinds of boys and men, needing merely training to be efficient, needing | merely to be shown, to raise to any height of citltcnshlp. These boys and men know no other ciimato; they are inured to a hard life. TjVork cannot hurt them, but on the contrary it is absolutely necessary to their weilbelng. "With the boys and men should likewise be trained the women, sisters, daughters and wives, here as elsewhere more than willing to exchange their lot for a better one; more than willing to do a woman;* part In any plan to lift the race. They know full well the hard and cheerless life they lead. They will be first to hail deliverance and to make progress rapid. Ought they not to have tho chance?" (To be Continued). FEDERAL WAR TAXES.

Bradley, district of South Carolina: In response to numerous inquiries, taxpayers are advised that certain taxes, among them the so-called "nui fimMimf" 1 ovoc nrn ronpftl Oct IIV C OJ1U MIAUI .? ttiAv w. v .

ROAST FOR DOCTORS Former Patient Comes to Defence of Dr. Lorenz. Publication of an article in the Journal of American Medical Association, 1 that the cure of Lolita Armour, daughter of J. Qgden Armour, of Chicago, by Dr. Adolfo Lorenz, of Vienna, was "net a cure" today brought a statement from the former Miss Armour, who is now Mrs. John J. Mitchell, Jr. In 1903 and' 1904 operations were performed by Dr. John Ridlen of Chicago, and Dr. Lorenz on Mrs. Mitchell. "I cannot say" she said, "that a perfect cure has been affected In cither j hip, but the hip treated by Dr. Lo- | renz is for better than the one, with which he could do little because It had been too badly mishandled," sh? said. "I myself believo that had it not b< cn for. the work done before he was called in my case, I could have effected a complete cure. "There la, of course, much jealousy among doctors and thoy arc not eager tg see great honors go to a foreign , doctor. Personally, I am very fond of Dr. Lorenz, and I feel that if It had not been for him I would not now be getting so much pleasure out of life." j CALHOUNDRUGSTORE YORK, - - 9. C.
