I1VV " " SP A W s Entered as second-class mail t matter at the post office at Page- < land, S. C., under the Postal Act t of March 3, 1879. April 8, 1914 1 - 1 A glance at the daily load of mail delivered by the rural carri- 1 ers will startle the man who has 1 not noticed how large a precent I of the mail is whiskey ciiculars, ? cheap story papers and trashy * farm journals. The per cent. c of worth-while mail is un- t believeablv small. 1 The government spends thous- s ands and thousands of dollars T. preparing and printing bulletins, ' pamphlets, etc., for the farmers but about nine farmers out of ? ten know nothing about it, and ' the money is wasted, to a large extent, because none is spent in s| advertising the fact that these s helps maybe had for the asking. I1 If one third of the cost were " spent in telling the farmers about what may be had more good would be accomplished. _ P Those who may feel that the ^ eradication of ticks in the county jj is an unimportant matter should ^ remember that beef cattle bring higher prices when they come ^ from sections free from ticks, ^ and that cattle raising will in a vx few years be found very profit- c, able in this section. As proof of this, consider the prices received by Mr. R. J. Little for about sixty n head of steers he fattened on his farm near Cheraw during the past winter some of which weighed as high as sixteen hun dred pounds. These were sold k right on his farm and collected ^ t for at 6 3-4 and7 cents per pound gross. ' 1 hmk of selling one steer for one hundred arid twelve dcil^ d lars, after having raised nearly q enough manure to pay for his . feed. The man who thinks cotton is ^ the only thing there is any money in should visit Mr. Little's _ farm and talk the matter over p with one who knows better. ^ ^ c The country has been divided a into twelve districts in which the b twelve national reserve banks tl will be located and the twelve ^ cities have been named. North ^ Carolina, South Carolina, Vir- tj ginia, Maryland and ^most of \ # West Virginia comprises a dis- C trict and Richmond is where the reserve bank will be located, tl me bankers are pleased that a South Carolina is in this district h instead of the Atlanta district. It is said that this will mean al- n most financial independence for fc this district because of the gieat a number of enterprises engaged d in and the variety of money-making occupations followed by e the people of the district. When nr one part of the district may be S in need of money another part g will be taking in money and be ir in shape to loan. For these rea- w sons the bankers in this section feel that the\ will rarely have to al go to New York to borrow mon- sc ey. " ? The cities in whirh tho mcnrvn ? ??av IVOV1 VC It banks will be located are as pi follows: gi NewYork, Philadelphia.Cleve- P land, Richmond, Atlanta, Chica- ai go, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Kan- 8 sas City, Dallas, San Francisco Boston?twelve, the maximum fc number under the law. ei In the Richmond district are ^ included 475 national banks, the total capitalization for the regional bank being $6,543,281. The first real fight among n Democrats since the present ad- ai ministration began occurred in tl the national house of representa- e tivw ft few days ago oyer the cl epeal of Panama canal tolls exsmption act, and Speaker Clark ind Oscar Underwood were ined up against the president ind his supporters. To our mind the attitude of hese three men on this subject ihows the wisdom of the selecion of Wilson at the Baltimore convention as the nominee of he party. The Panama canal has been constructed at an enormous cost o the government, and the people at large have paid the bill. The cost of maintenance and he interest on the investment nust be paid by the ships that >ass through the canal and there >y reap the benefits. The fact hat a ship belongs to an American is no reason why it should >e exempt from tolls in passing hrough the canal. This exempion is nothing but a ship sub-* idy in disguise. There is no nore cause for it than there is or protective tariffs on goods. Vhen sifted down, it is just the >ld question of taxing the many or the benifit of the few. Then there is the other reaon why this exemption act liould be repealed, that our eaty agreement with England 1 which we have agreed irough our authorized represenitive to give all nations the ime treatment as to tolls and rivileges of the canal. This Tas a bad bargain, they tell us, ut we fail to see it that way. : the government must aid .merican ships by giving free assage through the people's anal, why not buy up the rail>ads and let all of us ride free if 'e can show that we are Amerians? The president and his followrs are right in their efforts to jpeal this act, and we hope the mate will pass the repeal bill ist as the house has done. - m CHURCH NOTES Baptist J. M. Sullivaa^^tor. Last Sunday wk5 wa splendid ay for us at White Plains and "enter Grove school house. ,arge congregations at both laces. At White Plains in consrence Saturday we appointed a ommittee to canvass the entire lembership of the church for lome and Foreign Missions. Ve do not believe in having a ommittee of this kind to go out nd worry everybody but we do elieve with all our hearts that lis "every member canvass" is' le ideal plan to reach our aportiment for the various objects istered by our State Gonven on. Ve must say that the Center Jrove school is doing a good /ork for all denominations in lis community. Large crowds, nd all seems to be p^ace and armony. We entertain the hope that ext Sunday will be a good day >r the two great causes of Home nd Foreign Missions in the Sunay school of the South. We want to ask now that very member of our School lake a special offering next unday morning for these two reat causes. If we expect to be i line with other Sunday schools 'e must do this. Paceland next Sundnv 11 n m [ this hour we hope to have >me things to say about the reat needs of our Boards at lis particular time. Brethren ray for these services and these reat causes. ageland B.
