Without organlzatk otbing can be done. In vt??w of the la jat al other classes are organized, the fart s must organize or be lelegated to tbe ree b?-ce they have hsen for centurie?. He spoke ??f tbu ab-o'ute dependence < le farmer for everytb ng tu the way ot foi iid doming. Stated thtt tbe prime need ie farmers at presdut Is education. Oi 'ouble wtih th^ farmer is that be Is t< iMIy Mith-tled wl'b his condition. Expec ;g nothing he does not endeavor after grei r "biuKs a-< he oUi-ht. Tne speaker referred to tbe Good Roai uestion, complentlmilng Abbeville Coun nils roads and incidentally compilmentlt ur Supervisors. He stated tbat the great* that we pay Is the mud and sand tu he va ne of K.*al Estate lsdoubied easily I leans of good roads, paradoxical as It mt 'em. Good roads, schools and churches aud in band. He deplored tbe fact tbat many of o oung men leave the farm and go to tl itlfS. We ought to make our homes so attract! lattbey wilt prefer 'befarm lite. Hedoesi lame any young man for disliking hon ben be Is forced to carry water on his bei om a muddy spring half a mile off. Hon where character Is formed. Make It a p;et nt place. Tbe speaker took the Rround for immtgr on. ar.d recommended that we til up bom ir the Immigrants If we wish them to stt lth us. Not like.tbe neero, who Is satlsfli Ithany kind of a hovel, th# white lma -ants will want an attractive home. Tbe negroes are getting education fast ian we ihink and the negroes form CO p jot ot our population. W? must look aft ie Education of our people. Tbe speaker mentioned our advantage ov lher countries In tbe production of cotto o'500 years they have tried to make cottc 1 India, aud If it Is possible, tbey sbou ave succeeded by this time. There a 500 000,000 people In the world to clothe ar lere are only four staples to clo'he ther >ttoo, wool,flax and silk. Of ihese cottc ikes the lead, being S2 per cent, of the who! tid of this 82 per cent, the south raises 90 pi -nt. These are lacts and yet half the tarr rs of the South are paupers. Farms a tortgaged, mules are mortgaged and becaut is farmers sell their cotton cheaper tha iey can raise it. He urged diversified farming, BtatiDg tbi was only a question of time until the drea I boll wevil would be among us and v rould fcave to diversify or perish. He stati bat the farmers spent one half the year I rylng to gel rlil of grass and the other ba ying to buy it. He ridiculed the Idea laking la or 15 million bai< s or cotlon wb< e could pet more for S millions. He thinks tbe cotton acreage will be ci l least 20 per cent. Some localities are cu ingthe acreageas much as35 percent. He stated also tb it an enormous amount igs had been bought In order to dupe tt <rmers and tha public generally In regard tie amount of fertilizer used. Farmers should raire supplies at bom Luck fertilizer, etc.. and market cotton mnihs In the year Instead of three.

"Educational Conference ingoing on in Columbia. We have no doubt that ' -iM education in South Carolina will re- .pfS eeive a great impetus from the in?piringfpetcbes that will be made from ihe presence in our.midst of some of America's greatest educators. We do ' Ms not ihink that the general run of peo- ; s&a pie iu South Carolina have been able 'ilsS to discover the mysteiious motives at- ' tribu led by The News and Courier to $5 the promoters of this movement '' When "Educational Conference is ^ goiug on in New York" are D. C. Heyward, Mayor Benjamin Sloan, Richard I. Manning and Altamont Moses ; in charge of it or conspicuous In it? ;>$j Does the Sumter News think that . ?$ they would need Robert C. Ogden and Beth Low as overseers and guides!? Why should a body of Northern men as Buch be prominent in "Conference . for Education in the South. Can the Sumter News imagines parry of Southern capitalists and educators travelling in a private train of Pullmans, invading Connecticut, and taking a leading distinct part as 't-jm Southerners in a Conference for foxEducation in the North, held in New Haven?the home of Yale University? If not, why not? "Inspiring speeches" have been made in Columbia, chiefly by Sohthem teachers, men who havd given their lives to tne cause of education in W the South. They and their comrades, thousands, of whom have never attended a "Conference for Education." have accomnlished in the oast forty . 35 years relatively even mere than Mr. Seth Low could claim for New York, and meanwhile, it does not enter their heads to visit Mr. Low's town and sagely advise it how to deal with the problem of 70,000 children apearing at school each morning without having had breakfast or enough break- \ fast. .. Yet this Is a more serious educational problem than any that the white people of South Carolina have on their hands. South Carolinians could advise New York in this matter with about the same wisdom that New Yorkers can advise South Carolinians and others. We confess our inabilitv to discover the "mysterious motives" of Southern public men and teachers in attributing the honor of educational achievement of 40 years in the South to a coterie of strangers who have made occasional visits of a few days to the South in the last few years. But ibis a fact that this "Confereqce for Education in the "South" is looked upon aa in a sense a subordinate agency for the propaganda of Robert C. Ogden and his Northern associates. Whatever good results Southern men may bring about through the Conference will be charged up to the credit side of Ogden and Company. We repeat?we are unable to discover the mysterious motives' of Southern men good, earnest and sagacious men in accepting the leadership and label of strangers who offer no compensation of value?ndt even cash. The infatuation that the South is a heathen land to be rescued from darkness by Northern missionaries, which seems to have seized many , Southern men, isforalients to explain. South CnroIinn Wotes.
