It wouldn't be jumping at conclusions
to say that the robbers

last them a life-time" had been
reading some of the cotton
literature recently sent out from

Taft promised tariff revision

The Yorkville Enquirer wants I
to know why the jury commission- c
ers ptit the names of men in the *
boxes whom they know to be un- *
fit for jury service. Well, one t
reason is the jury commissioners v
are politicans and the more unfit a i
man is for a juror the more de- i
lighted he is when he is selected t
for jury duty, and vice versa. A 1
I deep thinking man remarked t
v once that a man who felt hon- 1
| ored by elevation to public office 1
was unfit to perform the duties of *
t the office. The same may be said of 1
the man who feels flattered' when he
is selected for jury service.

The Herald manifests so much
interest in orogressive farming
Lhat a friend said to us the other
lay that we ought to gc into the '
Farming business. The Herald
loes not know much about fanning
from a practical point of view, but ,
mere is no more interesting stuuy <
in the world than the theory of
agriculture and if we were a farmer
we certainly would give some
af the many theories on the sub- ,
jeet a practical test. Farming in
the South is yet in a crude state
at development and there is no
vocation that offers a broader and (
more interesting field for experimental
purposes. It has possibilities
that cannot be exaggerated
and coming generations will wonder
why their forefathers
stumbled over and failed to exploit
the mines of wealth now in
their possession. Elsewhere in
this issue is published an article
under the caption of "Good Far.
ming" which tells of the success
of a Mr. Taylor, near Fayettville,
N, C., that every reader of The
Herald ought to read and digest.
It gives a practical illustration of
the vr.lue of intensive farming and
shows that a small mixture of
brains and fertilizer will make
poor land produce more than its
value in a single season. A thousand
farmers like Mr. Taylor
would convert every acre of land
in Marion county into a veritable
gold mine.
The postodice department estimates
that the rural route has
increased the postal receipts more
than one-third. The reason is
the farmer writes and receives
more letters because his mail (
Facilities are equal to those ol the
larger cities and superior to those I
if the smaller towns where mail
s not collected and delivered by ,
;arriers. If better mail facilities

jring more trade to the merchants
>f a town or city? If every farner
within a radius of ten miles
tad 'phone connection with Dillon ,
he Dillon merchants very soon Jj
vould notice a perceptible increase r
n trade from the*.rural commun- ^
ties. Fact is, the t>enefit would j
>e mutual, because there are J
nany times during the month
hat a trip to town costs the farner
more than his monthly 'phone
ental. We should like to see the J
Chamber of Commerce take up i
;he subject and thresh it out. 1
Anything that will bring a dol- .
lar's worth of trade to town in j
the run of a year is worth dis- ,
cussing. t
