The people of South Carolina should not be stampeded to the planting of cotton to the exclusion of a'l other things that may be grown in South Carolina. There is every reason to believe that cotton will not) go below 17 cents for another year; or so. and that the average price may, he higher. Kvcn the 2<> cents cotton would be produced at a loss if we must use that money to buy grain, meat, hay and canned stuff that can be produced and marketed at home. For the price of all of those commodities will be high, on a parity with the increase in the price of cotton. The banks and the supply merchants should impress it upon the farmers that the first consideration is to plant the crops necessary to the operation of the farm, and then to put in the biggest crop of cotton that can be grown and cultivated successful'y. *Jt would not be wisdom to be giving over an entire farm to cotton if it cou'd not be cultivated. The propaganda for sheep should bo given more serious attention. This State loses the opportunity to make millions by letting the hillsides "lie out" when they could he made to care for sheep, which do not re ?i ir" nif n;uut" pasiuvase as raiue. And with two packing houses being built in this State, more attention should be given to cattle. The gradually increasing disproportion between the nation's population and its food supply, long ago foreseen by such economics as the late James J. Hill, appears to be following prophecy. A bulletin from Washington says that the population of the United States has increased 24,000.000 in the past fifteen years.1 The number of beef animals has de-! crease?! 6,000.000 and sheep 10,000,000, while hogs have increased, but 11.000.000. The decline In our meat supply Is due w holly to decreased production j and to nothing else. We have more, mouths to feed and raise less meat' with which to feed them. Stopping, exports would, of course, ease the, situation to some extent. But thatj process of building up our meat sup-! iplr is going at the problem backwards. We have got to go In for cattle raising on a more extensive scale. Fundamentally, it is as grotesque for America to import meat from the Argentine as It Is for New...

Not that a visit to the apital city is so wonderful a feat, ut because he went by rail, and this >-as absolutely the first time that he as traveled on *a railroad since he as 4 years old. Mr. Corley is by o means a wild man; on the conrary he is a good, sober, prosperous nd inteligent citizen, but a stayer nd sticker at home, and what travling ha has done has been by dirt oad. A friend visited him a few ays ago, himself a traveler of some ote, recited to Mr. Corley the pleasres incident to railroad riding, and revailed upon hirp, ere it too >te, to take the trip. So the two rent, and there was delight In the oing. They took in the fair city on he Congaree from "garret to cellar" nd Mr. Corley has returned a wiser nd a happier man.

It is all question of what it fitting. Klabo ate clothes are for elaborate occa ions. At work they make the wears at least ridiculous, and sometirm raise unpleasant questions, the vei mildest of which is that the wean is foolish. In the schools, where tl comparative dress of pupils is a rei n.nkln... . 1. ? mi- (iiiuitiion goes mm further. Thorp is no doubt nt a that the over dressing of children i the public schools has very bad r< suits, in more than one direction. Grown people hardly realize tt heartburnings of children who cat not make the same appearance i their fellows. However foolish may be. the child is but a child an his feelings are very real to him. A this business of elaborate clothes o school children, of expensive gradt ation gowns and presents, Is not 01 ly foolish but wrong. It ereatt snobs on the one hand and en\ and heartburnings on the other. The uniforms of the English puhl schools serve the excellent purpof of preventing invidious distinction i dress. The collegiate cap and gowi once universally worn, s|erved th same end. It would be an exceller thing if children in the public school were obliged to wear a simple un form garb. It would put no burde on any one and would stop a vai amount of nonsense. Though attempts are constant! being made by school principals 1 keep down the tendency to ovei dressing among pupils it is a qaei tion whether school officials have an power to make or enforce sumptuai laws. At present they are more < less helpless in the face of though less parents. It is the pnrents wh are to blame, not the children.
