Fcbraary 25, 1909. s f A magazine writer says before W bitney invented the cotton gin it took a man two years to sepa- c rate one bale of cotton from the. c seed. And still Whitney has a j place in history as one of the c greatest benefactors of the age. P _ v .. . A headline in a recent issue of the State newspaper referred to Mr. Taft as a "Monster Mason." j. No doubt the writer meant ' 'Mas- \ ter Mason," but just the same the incident proves that there is something in the association of ideas. * . t . = i. ii The man who has been living on a a lien had better begin to save his nickels and dimes.

As Mr. Taft is to be her ruest the pertinence of the "large arty" becomes apparent. i **.. The widespread eulogy oifLlnoln in the south during the recent entenary celebration seems to ustify Charles Narrey's definition f a "contemporary,"?"a good erson who would' like yom if you irere dead. A Kansas man of ninty six has ust taken for himself a. wife. Veil, boys will be boys. There are 5.000,000 women in he United States who are earnn? their own living: and who a*e ble to dictate the time and the erm a f their marriage. wJ^ich troves it stupid to say there is no roman movement in this country. The President was almost mobted at Altoona while on his way to he Lincoln celebration in Kenuclcy. ..'I was glad to pass hrough Pennsylvania" he said n his speach and the people are Still wondering if he intended to ye sarcastic. 'Mr. Taft may have the smile hat won't come off but the Panana Canal, the tariff reform and he Crum case are apt to give it a breed look before he has been long in the White House. A.woman is to be appointed actng Governor of Oregon and still he emancepettes are not satisfied. They never will be quiet until' hey get at least a near-President. The Press agents seem to .have igain gone the people ,one better. The seemingly general public^ denand for a censor that wi)l foobid he salacious and lecherQus .pectacles that have been put an he stage in reality eminates from he stage door and no one who eads the demands and appeals for he censor can fail to see that every ipjectionable play and actress is tamed in full that the curiosity if the people may be whetted to ts finest edge. As long as any alacious play can be mad e to pay t will remain with us and it can ilways be made to pay if it is suficiently advertised as salacious. As i matter of fact there is nothing irorse on the stage, today than here was twenty or thirty years tgo, only there is more of it and t i s more widely advertised, [here are limitations to indecency hat have always been recomized ty the English speaking people nd always will be but everything rithin these limitations has been >resented since our fathers were n their lusty youth v Have Klaw ind Erlanger given us anything nore licentious than the Black 'rook which delighted our grandathers or can Mrs. Leslie - Carter >resent anything more suggestive han Camille Sappho? Only once n recent times has the press arent over reached himself in the ffort to stimulate moral play caled Mrs.Warren's Profession. The nnouncing of this production as he last cry in indecency had the ffect of extinguishing one of the inest. wittiest and most moral reductions which the public ever aissed the chance of seeing. What re need is not a censor of plays rat a censor of advertising, and -niy when the moralists of the I ountry come to sec that it is not o much what the theatres proluce as what they ariU produce hat needs censoring and expnrr?ting, shall we have a stage that a deprived of its baneful influence m the young. . : A beta* waved In Wuhingtoa that 1 has a principle main vita} than ( some involved in mote politics. 1 The Capital baa an organisation f for the prevention of cruelty to i animals which is one of the } most active in the country. In C late years it has 'developed so 1 much strength that it has become ? a menace to everyone who neg- / lects or mistreats domestic ani- q mals. Aks might be expected it & has made many enemies among ft those who have been brought to j the bar of justice through its act- R ivities in the interest of our four l footed felfWI labored, the home, b and a society has been formed, _ known as the "Horse Owners' Association" which is endeavor- > ing to have a bill passed by Cop^ gTees which will so cripple foe "Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals," as to practically annihilate it. The bill is es- tl sentially misleading as it endea*- 9 ors to convey the idea that the le Horse Owners' Association wishes. c< to engage in humane work under ai a new and better law while the' hi actual purpose'is to destroy the fc organization-that has been doing tl this work effectively for many tl years.

Although tese fiigures, a s above?910 juare miles in the whole county, 88 in the new and 522 in the Id?have been given out, the sur eyors, Messrs. T. C. Hamby, ? Columbia and E.N. Beaty, of Georgetown, have not made their irmal report to the commissionrs. Commissioner J. C. Mace, n the part of the old county peole, was in Columbia and failed, fter making strenuous efforts to ecure a copy of the report, altiough the surveyors had several ays previously sent in to the ommission a final statement of heir account for the work. It is laimed that the commissioners rill not unnecessarily delay this eport; but as the survey was comleted about a mop th ago, it is ifficult to understand why there# as been so much delay. If the latter is still further delayed, unit after the date fixed by Goveror Ansel for the hearing, the old ounty people will be at a considrable disadvantage for lack of inormation when appearing before iim. , Of course, it cannot be pre licted with any degree of certainv just what action the Governor irill take in the matter, he having lready allowed one change in the ine, and this petition coming up iter the final survey was finishd. The cost of this survey has lready amounted to over $6,000. good index to chaiacter is cjhnd in the stationery one uses, .'he Kara Linen envelope is popilar with people of taste and reinement.

Large crops of good corn result from preparing the land well, using the right kind and quantity of fertilizer, good seed and proper cultivation. Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers will greatly "increase your yield ncr acre" of corn or any other crop. In some cases remarkable results have been obtained. Mr. C. W. Caruthers of Sumpter County, I-la., writes: "Words cannot express the value of your fertilizer. It is really so far ahead of other companies' goods, that it would not pay anyone to use other brands, were they given free and put in the field. 1 can prove what I say to be a fact. 1 made a test on five acres.
