While the farmers of this county
are casting about for other crops
another year, it might be well for
them to experiment with broom
corn, which has been found to l e
a very profitable crop in other
sections of the State. We have
seen some fine enough specimens
that were raised here in Fairfield
county to lead us to believe that
the crop here would pay well.
Superintendent McMahan de
serves great credit for nipping in
the bud what purported to be
* another chart scandal. On ad
vice from Piekens county tha t an
agent there was trying to sell a
map contrary to the regulations
of the State board, he at once
authorized the counity supertin
tendents of all the counties to be
on the lookout for such agents.

Sow Grain.
In rcsponse to numbers of in
quries that we have made, we
have g-athered the information
that there has been but little
grain sown in the county so far.
Two reasons are given: the one
the dryness of the land, the other
the inability of the people to
supply themselves with the neces
sary seed. There is much truth
in both of these reasons, but we
fear that there is a third reason
that is as much or more a factor
than either of the above, viz.: that
many people are' demoralized on
account of the present condition
S- ov-er
~nstane where the land has been
in a suitab~e condition and where
'grain has been obtainable, little
has been sown, possibly from the
force of habit. In this connection
we wish to emphasize the fact
that it is highly necessary for the
farmers to sow as much grain as
possible so as to enable them to
Ihave food for themselves and
stock next summer without hav
ing to buy corn at such exhorbi
tant prices as $1.25 or $1.50 a
bushel. Were we in a position
to act the part of a philanthropist
towards the people of this county,
we would direct our efforts in
par't towards this important fea
tui e of sowing grain. If there is
anything a farmer can go in debt
for at this time, it is the seed and
the labor for sowing grain, and if
there is any adlvance that mner
chanits and others can -wisely
make to the people-it is the grain
with which they can sow down
their lands. Sow grain is the
watchlwordl we would now have
sounded in every farmer's cars
and next summer we would change
it to sow peas.

(Continued from page one.)
Economy is wealth. There
may be a difference of opinion as
to the kind of economy which
creates wealth. The miser econo
mizes, but the more economy of
his kind the worse for the com
munity in which he moves. But
there can be no two sides to the
nature of the advantages accru
ing to a people by getting rid of
mud and making good roads.
This $8,000,000 saved annually in
Iowa would cause the State to
blossom as the rose. It would
settle the question of the prac
ticability of making Iowa a suc-'
cessful manufacturing State. ItI
would put an end to till differences
between the railroads and the
people, because it would solve
the problem of cheap transpor
tation. It would add materia!ly
to every man's ability to earn a
living by making such a distribu
tion of the millions saved as
come naturally through the laws
of traffic. It is just that kind of
a saving which helps everybody
and harms no one. It is the key-'
note of business economy. If a
man gets &long with one suit of
clothes, one pair of boots, and
one hat when his comfort and
happiness requires and his cir
cumstances permit two of each i
kind, and this economy is general, ko
the business of the country be
comes depressed, and failures are
common. Such-eonomy
wealth. But let each man'
0 yed by badingf
goo roads equal- the -amount I
saved by economizing on clot~h
ing, and the country prospers an
the people thrive, because the
saving, is taking from what is now
absolute waste. France is finan-!
cially stable and strong, and her
people are busy and prosperous,,
because nothing is permitted to|
go to waste, aind yet there is not
country on the globe where the Ij
masses realize so much right
down real enjoyment of the
pleasures of life as the French.
They have good stone roads ini
France and the Government built
them.
There are times when the de
moralized condition of the busi
ness of this country may be
traced diructly to bad roads.
Stringency in the money market
may be attributed as often to bad
roads as to any other cause. Hard,
times, dull times, labor unem
ployed, fluctuating prices, reducedf
r~ailroad earnings, spasmodic
speculation in stocks, corners in I
eat and brcadstuffs, are often ,
he immediate results of bad
oads. Mud, besides being a
apacious fiend, is a harp-hearted li
ng. R. G. Dun & Co., of New I
ork, in a recent review of the
~ondition of, trade, says that "the t
~trigency in money markets here t
Lu at some other points is mere j
argely due to slow collections, 1
vhich appear to result from t
evere weather and impracticable ir
oads than from any form of com -
nercial unsoundness or inability It
o distribute products. * **
it Chicago, partly because of
lad roads receipts of many pro- c
lucts declined." t
So it is that mud rules the I
and. It -is a great conqueror. I
t is worse than an invading 3

he united efforts of the people j

very line of business in the laud
bould be united, and there cer
ainly is no interest which has

his grand reform, or which 0
hould be more determined and nl
tive in urging the great work h
>rward, than the National and F

A Card of Thanks.
KAr. Editor: Please let me
,hrough the columns of The News
and Herald express my highest
ippreciation for all the kinduess
bestowed upon myself and family
by the members of my own
.hurch and of our sister churches.
[t has never been my pleasure to
erve a more kilid and indulgent
people than those of Winnsboro
and Greenbrier congregations. I
have never lived in any com
rnunity where the members of
ther churches, and those belong
ing to no church at all, have been
nore kind and generous than those
f Winnsboro. My stay in Winns
boro has been both delightful and
profitable on account of the rea
ions mentioned above. I have
greatly enjoyed my association
with the pastors of all the
3hurches. My family and sell
will always think of our short
;tay in Wiunsboro with great
pleasure to ourselves. I can ask
3o greater favor for my successor
,han to ask for him the same
kindness you have all bestowed
upon me and mine.
So let me now say to all many
-hanks for kindness rendered and
;o breath a silent prayer for God's
richest blessing upon all wbc
aave in the least way rendeted

- COLORED TEACHERS MEET.
There was a very interesting
mud profitable meeting held at the
~olored graded school building
>n Saturday, December 7th.
This event marked the 01 ea~

'otional exercises after which he
tated in a clear and concise
anner, the object of the meet
ng.
The subject of reading was
hen taken up anud discusse I
reely by his assistant gying
ome practical and modern
aethods about the teaching of
he same--3hort talks from others
ollo wed.
Aritmetic was then presented
iy the principal in an attractive,
ernest and practical way that
eceived the approval of all
>resent. He was commended for
is masterly effort.
After urging upon the teachers
he importance of these meeting,
he body adjourned to meet again
he fourth Saturdaiy in January,

A Friend.
A striking evidence of the in
rease of interest in matters of
lucation in this State is the
umber of counties that are now
Dding teachers' associations.
rom all over the State comes
ports that these meetings are
eing well attended, and the plan
pursumng a uniform course o
ork' is in high favor. Surcly
ere is a better day ahead for

AT IT AGAIN.
Tillman and McLaurin Carry on Their
Quarrel In the Senate.
Washington, Dec. 9.-The
spectators in the crowded gal
leries ef the senate thought for a wf
time tlis afternoon that they re
were to witness the spectacle of Pe
two Palmetto State senators re- tu
digning their seats. It ws one de
of the most dramatic scenes wit- ag
nessed in the historic chamber ta
for many years, when Senator r
Tillman challenged Senator Me- th
Laurin to quit the senate in com. f
pany with him and go home and
wash their dirty linen. One of
the amusing features of the en
tire affair was that after the two
South Carolinians had pitched in
and lugged at each other, the 20
grave and sedate Senator Hoar of
Massachusetts got a chunce to
review the law and the precedent
in suej-cases, from all of which 25
he drofthe conclusion that the
seats *etre realjy vacant because
the two senators after they had
once resigned to the governor
codld not recall Itheir resigna
fight with Senator
McLaurin rising to a question of
personal p*ivilege. Senator Till-S
man sat but a few feet away and
scowled fiercely as his colleage
proceeded. Mr. McLaurin re
ferred to the criticisms of him
self in the public prints and to
the newspaper statements that he
had been denied admission to the
Democratic caucus. He insisted
that he was still a Democrat and
was urging the appointment of
Demiocrats to office, but when he
could not get Deniocrats ap
pointed he wanted to see decent
epublicans appointed for the
accommodation of the people of
Ihis State and for the benefit of
th e pblic service. Senator Jones
of Akansas took a hand and said
he had asked Mr. McLaurin last
spring whether he wanted to be,
included in the Democratic can- a
cus and McLaurin told him he
did not wish to go into the
Democratic caucus, as it might
be embarrassing to him, never
theless he wished to attend. |
1Senator Jones added that for
two years Mr. McLaurin had been
voting with the Republicans and -
he (Jones) had said on the Re- 1
publican side of the chamber that
he did not think the Democrats
would like to have charged to
them any committee assignments
that might be given to M~r. Mc- A
Laurin.
Senator Tiliman finally got a
word, and while responding, as
statedl above, declared that a
little later he would reply at
greater length. He said he hoped
thttematter of resignations,
discussed by Senator Hoar, might
be taken up by the committee on
judiciary.
While Senator Hoar was talk
ing during the controversy Mr.
McLaurin tried to break in but
did not succeed. Senator Hoar
declared that in 125 years there
had been about 200 resignations ci
of senattors and Senator McLau
rin's case was the only one where so
the resignation had been wvith- ca
drawn. Xi
