Wednesday, March 15, 1905.
The psesent indications are
that there will be no decrease
in the amount of fertilizers used
this year as compared with the
past year. It remains to be seen
whether the cotton acreage is
being reduced or whether more
fertilizers are being used on
other crops.
The Johnston Monitor of last
week contains a three-fourth
double column d o u b 1 e
leaded editorial in regard to a
great religious revival that has
just been held in that town.
The other one-fourth of the
column is filled with an urgent
appeal to delinquent subscri
bers to pay up. We take it for
granted that Editor Terrell
desires to make a practical test
of the doctrine, "By their
fruits ye shall know them."
A house divided against itself
can not stand. Neither can a
state secure anything from Con
gress when its delegation fails to
agree. This has been fully dem
onstrated in the failure to secure
the new federal district for
South Carolina, because the
members could not agree on the
places at which the courts should
be held. Congressman Finley is
credited with being the principal
stumbling block in the way of
securing the new federal district,
because he wanted Rock Hill or
nothing.
"Fighting the devil with fire"
- is an expaession that very proper
ly epplies to the methods that
will have to be used by local
merchants in counteracti. g the
infuences of the great mail order
houses that are gaining in pat
ronage throughout the whole
country. The weapon that these
latter day concerns use in the
carrying on their aggressive cam
paigns for routing the home
merchant is printer's ink in liber
al doses. The lionie merchant
by a -proportion4te use of the
--same weapon can iake it so hard
for these foreign : concerns as to
practically put them out of busi
ness.
he rporg the town treas
urer which is to be published
soon soould be supplemented by
a statement from the board of
public works, giving full infor
mation as to all tne money that
has been expended on the elec
tric light plant and the. revenues
of the same. It will take both
of these statements to show the
true financial condition of the
town, as the finances of the two
have been so closely .connected
that a separate statement would
not be sufficient. This informa
tion the citizens of this commu
nity are very anxious to have e's
there are so many rumors in re
gard to the matter.
Our suggestion that an expert
examination be made of the books
of the county supervisor and
other county officers is meeting
with very general approval.
Every body is anxious to know
how it is the county has gotten
so deeply in debt, so that the
nocessary steps can be taken to
prevent this indebtedness from
increasing unnecessarily. The
best time to set matters right is
now, whue int arest runs so high.
Promptness in having the ex
amination made is necessary as a
safegaurd for the future to pre
vent the officers from spending
any of the county's money for
purposes that have not been duly
authorized, if such has been the
case heretoforA. By virtue of
their position as guardians of al]
the interests of the county, the
grand jury are clothed with the
necessary authority to employ
whatever expert help is necesary.
They will not meet the expectaions
of the people of the county nor
measure up to the demands of
the occasion, if they fail to have
the same attended to at the
earliest possible time. The
cirumstances demand prompt and
heroic action.
Previous to '94 the conty
treasurer of Fairfield was re
quired to publish a statement of
the condition of the finances of
the county. That year, however,
Fairfield along with 13 other
counties was excepted from the
law providing for a publication
of these reports. Since then
the county Supervisor's report
has been pulished. This report,
as is well known, contains
merely the number of the claim
and the party in whose interest it
was issued. In addition to this,
this report should also show the
pnrpose fo- which: ah cnLim
was drawn. Then, too, there
should be a summarized state
ment, showing the .ounty's as
sets and liabilities, so that the a
people may may know from time.
to time how matters stand, just I
as is the case with banks and .
other financial institutions. Pub- i
licity is the best method for in- t
suring protection against any
discrepancy from any cause what
soever in the administration of C
a county's finances. The small S
additional cost of publication c
would be as nothing as compared t
with the satsifaction of knowing t
all the while "where we are at" a
Some so-called economy comes I
pretty high. -
As an illustration that adver
tising pays farmers as well as
others, an enterprising farmer of
South Carolina last year invest
ed $224, in advertising space for
cabbage plants alone. As a
result he sold $20,000 worth of 1
plants, selling out all his stock
before the orders ceased to come
in. This year he is spending t
$1,600 in advertising and ex- r
pects to receive $50,000 worth
of orders.
His neighbors, too, have gone 3
into the business and are ship- r
ping thousands of dollars worth
of plants. This new industry of
growing and selling cabbage and
other plants on such a large j
scale owes its rapid growth
wholly to the free and liberal
use of printer's ink, demonstrrat
ing most forcible that it pays to 1
advertise. I
The Florence Times has pub
lished an article from a citizen of
that ccmmunity in regard to the
wanton killing of birds by the
small boys.. We do not know
whether this unfortunate habit
is in vogue in Winnsboro. We
would, however, sound the note
of warning to the boys of the
town and of the county to desist
from this unnecessary taiing of
the lives of little harmless and
helpless birds. From a business
stand point this practice should
not be indulged in, for j
the birds, as has been proven I
over' and over again, are the a
farmer's best friends in the j
destruction of numerous insects
that but for them would play
havoc with the growing crops.
But from a humanitarian stand
point also, this practice should
not be countenanced, for it is a
cruel . habit that crushes the
finer humane instincts. I
It so happens that the inter- c
collegiate oratorical contest for i
the colleges of South Carolina is
to be held at Greenwood the same r
week that the conference of edu- 1i
cation is to be held in Columbia, a
This is very unfortunate and it I
would seem to be a part of wis- t
dom for those having charge of v
the fixing of the date for the same i
to change it so that there may be
no conflict in these two meetings, I
which have their value and inter- s
est to all educational workers in i
the Statie. It is no small thing I
for South Carolina to have the I
conference of education to meet
in its ca4ital. While this con
ference, as is well known, is held
under the auspices of the Ogdan t
party, yet it is a matter of fact t
that the speakers for the most
part are the South's most influ
ential educators. Those who are
engaged in educational work in
the Palmetto State owe it to ~
themselves to take advantage of ,
this extraordinary opportunity to
meet the leaders in educational
thought in their own section and
the men from beyond their bounds ,
who are engaged in an educa
tional movement that will mean
so much for the weal or woe of
this Southland. They would be
doing themselves a great injus
tiee and reflect discrediet on tthat
liberality of thought that they,
are supposed b stand for should
they stand off an 1 say, "We will,
have nothing to do with you."
P?ersuaded as we are Irom wha
we have learued from thilioe w ' I
ers of our State, who have t-f
in close touch with this &
movement, that these men nr.
working only from the highe.'
motives, we shall not lose the
opportunity to go to Columbia to
see for ourselves what manner of
men these be and what their reaLl
purpose is. Were we disposed
to see the "negro in the wood
pile," as so many are, we would c
go for the purpose of satisfying p
ourselves as to whether this buga- i
boo really exists.r
This great gathering comes to E
Columbia on the invitation of c
representative school and busi- ']
nsss men. That spirit of courtesy, I
that has ever been the proud r
boast of all Carolinians, demands I
that these guests be give the r
heartiest reception possible with- E
out regard to the opinion of in- t
dividuals in regard to their work. s
It is well nigh certain that it will t:
be a gathering of more far-reach- t:
ing import to the educational 3
workers of South Carolina than lI
any meeting that has been held s
in the State at any recent time. v
Columbia will not fail to do d
her full part. The rest of the C
State will surely fall in line.
