Bureau of Plant Industry what progress was ^
being made In the culture of burr clover, |
crimson or red clover, the vetches, aud espt
daily alfalfa or lucerne; the ultimate purpose
of the department being, If tbe conditions
are feasible and their utilities will warrant
furtber expenditure, to establish under tbe
supervision and possibly tbe fostering care
and protection ol the department a more ex- ,
tensive cultivation of other arears, (garden t
pots as it were cf 5 or ltf acres eaob) In these
aod other legumes lor forage en ps in this /
Slate. /
It Is gratifying that we can state that Mr.
Nielsen -bas expressed himself encouraged by p
tbe outlook for success promised by MaJ. Par- *"
Iter's experiments, anj It is hoped and expected
that this vlplt will lead to the sowing
of many ten (10) acre plots for tbe speolal cultivation
of such legumes lor forage as shall be
found to do well here.
We cordially welcome Mr. Nlelson and In- .

Lincoln said, u You can fool all the people
some of the time and you can fool som?
of the people all the time, but you can't
fool all the people all the time." That is
true. But isn't it better not to fool or try
to fool any one at any time. We think
so, even if only for policy's sake. Honesty
always wins?she never fails?especially
is this true in business. The business
man who keeps only the best goods and
offers them at honest values, so as to share
his living with that of his customers, is
the man who gains the confidence of the
people, and confidence gained is the soundest
basis on which to build and increase a
business, and proves the most valuable asset
any business house can possess. These
policies have, and always shall, govern our
dealings, and by continuing these methods
we feel confident of not only holding
our present customers, but have every reason
to believe that we will gain patronage
from those who have not heretofore given
us their trade.

A paper read before the Powdereville (
Union on the social features of the ?
Union. j
Mr. President: i
The founders of the Educational and i
Co-operative Union, in their introduc- j
tlon, laid down as one of the principles t
to constantly strive to secure entire i
harmony and good will amongst man* {
kind, and brotherly love among our- j
selves. 1
To gather the tear? of the distressed ?
the blood of the martyrs, the laugh of t
innocent childhood, the sweat of hon- i

Onejof the greatest questions still <
unsolved is how to make life more j
bearable by filling it . with the every t
Kafmoon (tin nntnlflM thflV (
move along the highways of life together.
It is the little conrtesies that
we have learned as human beings to
extend to one another that almost
more than anything else make life
worth the living.
If we could make every one realize
he can never do his duty to his fellowmen
by giving money or material
gifts without their sympathy and love
A man that boards his money and
refuses to help his fellowman is
called mean and stingy. You have
no more moral right to hoard your
sympathy and love than you have
your money. Life is too short to
think of nothing but the almighty
dollar. The worst feature of it is that
'in this mad chase for it, turns the
hand of every one of us against his
neighbor, ana our neighbor against us.
It makes that heart that ought to
be throbbing with love an abode of
hate. By the cultivation of a spirit of j
sympathy, sociability,.love and helpfulness
in the Union, the home and
the chnrcb will have a new ally, constituting
a powerful agency for good.
To encourage individual honesty
and sobriety, thrift and the noblest,
unselfish work should always be our

Don't Qnnrrel Over the Skin Before
Yon Kill th? Cotton Bear.
Ever eee rabbit beagles stop cbaaiog
a rabbit to qaarrel over the game be
fore the rabbit vas caught? No, these
have more common animal sense than
some of we Cotton Association and
Farmers' Union men who pop up now
and then Zand go to quarreling with
each other about who is entitled to the
skin of the cotton bear before the old
heifer has been killed.
It matters little to the average cotton
grower who kills out the ootton
bear and speculating element just so
we get them out of the way.
The great rank and Hie of the Farmers'
Union and the Cotton Association
are more Interested in combining the
forces of the two organizations for
good strength and bard fighting on
cotton prices next fall than we are in
elevating the interest of a few officials
in both organizations who keep up
strife for their own selfish ends.
Violations of tbe 8. C. Fertiliser Law. '
Clcmson College collected $1,334.09
penalty moDey from eleven companies
for se ding out fertilizers below
grade and other violations of the law
last year. If there is ooe farmer in
the state who has collected the dollar
penalty money or shortage, which
they can do, we have not heard of it.
Farmers, you are simply sleeping over
your privileges. We calculate that at
least $7000 could have been recovered
by the farmers if they had kept up
with these violators by reading up on
these fertilizer bulletins that are beibg
sent out from Ciemson College.
If your county business agent cannot
tell you how to proceed to recover
shortage and penalty write W.
C. Moore, Greenville. 8. C. Your
state business agent. He, no doubt,
will take pleasure in figuring the matter
up for you.

companies to state here that 11 out of

Edgefield and Abbeville.
Edgefield News.
What Abbeville has accomplished,
Edgefield can accomplish, In 1890, or
about that year, Abbeville was a smaller
place than Edgefield is now. Now
it claims, we think, about five thousand
in population. Then there was
about as much public enterprise there
as there is here now. Then Abbeville
bad but one branoh railroad eleven
miles long. All at once it began to improve.
Enterprising men came to the
front and took bold of matters. The
Seaboard railroad wanted to come by
there and the people gave it about
$40,000.00. They wanted the shops of
that road, and we tbink the people donated
$20,000.00 more. They wauted
a high school and they raised $16,000
more. They wanted water works and
they raised $25,000 more. They wanted
sewerage and they raised $15000.00
more. They have a court house that
Is a palace as compared with our*;
they raised 50.000 from the oounty lor
a new one and will pull down the old
one, partly because they did not like
its looation, and will buiid a new one.
The city wanted a city Hall and it
has raised $40,000 more for that pur
pose. In order to make room for tbe
new improvements, tbe county and
town bought stores, law offices and vacan
t lots. Tbe stores and law offices
will be torn down, and the new buildings
erected in their stead, and the
vacant lots will be turned into a beautiful
park.
What has Edgefield done in that
time? Jiulit tne a. u, t. i. at a cost ui
about $1-5,000. So far as we keow it has
not a dollar in public enterprise while
Abbeville in addition to what has been
enumerated, built splendid cotton mills
costing thousands of dollars.
It has a good electric light plant coating
a good round sum. Besides it has
a new and excellent hotel and has
greatly improved its streets.
Edg Held can do as Abbeville has
done. In 1890, there were men in Al b ville
who talked just as some of our
to It nmu ihnt in thev said
pcv|/iv ** ** | ?MM? .w, ? ?
that Abbeville could do notbing because
ibere was no money there.
We copy an article on the subject
from the Press aDd Banner which can
be found in another column. We write
the above from memory, and may be
wrong in some of our figures,. but we
have not exaggerated the push, pluck
and progress or that good old town.
