It shifts the argumeul to the :onteutlon >bat tne primary system is a beoeaction to tbe human race here In Amertoa. :hat It is educative, improving, salutary and medicinal to morals and politics. That Is a ? position that Is Intelligently tenable. Plenty jf sane men here In South Carolina agree c with the News-Leader that the primary plan t Is superior to the convention method and a jur contemporary has wholly misinterpreted " TheNewaand Courier's comments when it > tccepts them as an assault on primary elect- t ions. a Whatever the virtues of the primary system, it ;is mathematically true that In the 8 long run the person elected will be tbe resul- t lam of tbe|comblned Judgment, cbaraoter f ind Intelligence of tbe electorate. A convention of one hundred men is, aa a rule, oom- C posed of the one hundred better educated aod g abler men of a county of 8.000 voters?tbe re- _ spectlve wards and townships having sent Ihelr leaders to tbe convention. This body >f comparative experts will cboo<e with sbar- ft per preoeptlon* of ability and worth In can- _ Jldates than will tbe whole voting popu* atlon..

In tbe course of the centurlex r ill the electors may become trained experts l and the primary system|may hasten tbeoom 1 Ing of that day, but meantime, the adoption l 3f the primary Inevitably produces a jower- e Ine tn tbe grade of bubllo officials. While tbe IfewB Leader Is correct when It c jays that the-fury lof the early nineties baB v passed In this State, and tbat|one need not g Be a "poat tall swinger" to be elected to office, the facts do no; point to a return to the bablt ,if choosing men of tbe type of those who j were its editor's friends when be lived In H tooth Carolina, Good men, many of them, . Qave been elected to office, and the ln?n- ' Hons of the people are to eleot them always, C rtut the Judgment ofjthe people Is foften at ^ fault. For many a year to come a Bob Taylor would be lnvlnolble In a South Carolina * primary. Just as tbe Joking and Jingling li tatesman is lnvlnolble in Tennessee, and a n I obD C. Calhoun would be unable to defeat jne of the assiduous "department" Represen- J Latlves now in Congress. This is a necessary C jvilofthe primary system, but it by no r means establishes that the system's merits Jo not outweigh those of tbe Convention a plan, a Were our contemporary familiar with the c South Carolina (of to-day we fear that pe would discover that some of those who are / peculiarly tbe representatives of the gentle- r men who adorned the pobllo lira Of this State i when the Convention plan prevailed have Learned to accommodate themselves to the 0 whim of the masses, and If there be among 8 iur conspicuous political figures many who s iorm their own ooQoltulons with no ear bent to tbe'murmuring or (the shooting of tbe 8 populace, we are not aoquainiea who mew. t No, we are not predicting that Soath Caro- a Una and the South will be barren of brilliant , and strong representatives In the political 1 life of tbe Juture, but tbe day waa when every \ man aspiring to publlo office waa.either a . ;nntleman ,or else waa compelled by those . who net the standards to Imitate the manners 1 and ways of gentlemen In politics, but now rf those wbo have acquired the tricks of they? clown have a decided advantage over?mere gentlemen. 8 Flnallv, tbe'News Leader should know that "Tlllmanlsm" was an Incident, a "fitful ( fever." huttbeaabetltutlon of tbe primary for the Convention :plan which became as- ( sured before iTIIIman's advent and which I Iilimah endeavored to posspone, was a revo- , lutlon.

WILLIAMSON'S Ifi CORN METHODS. ? bi ot "SOUTHERN CORN FOR THE SOUTH" di For a Dumber of years after I began o farm, I followed the old-time meth- bt d of putting the fertilizer all under 80 be corn, planting on a level higher, y< ix by three feefr, pushing the plant rom the start and makiDg a big stalk, >ut the ears were few, and frequently mail. I plauted much corn in the prlng ana bought much m,orp corn he next spring, until finally I was {*2 Iriven to the concluBiou that corn ju :ould not be made on uplands in this r ec'ion, certainly not by the old meth- m >d, except at a loes. w I did not give up, however, for I ra noro that th? fnrmpr wlio did not nake his own com nev*r had succeed- ai d, and never would, so I began to ex- 111 teriment. First I planted lower, and he yield was better, but the*?talk was T till too large; so I discontinued alto- ^ ,'ether the application of fertilizer be- I' ore planting, and, knowing that all v| rops should be fertilized as a side ap- .v' dication, and applied the more solu- ag >le nitrate of soda later, being guided w n this by the excellent resulis obtain- 8t d from its use as a top dressing for iat?. Still, the yield, though regular, ?* vas not large, and the smallnets of the ^ talk itself now suggested that they P* bould be planted thicker in the drill. ct ?bis was done the next year, with re- e: ults so satisfactory that I continued " rom year to year to increase the num- 3 terof stalks and the fertilizer with la fhich to sustain them; also to apply al litrate of soda at last plowing, and to f" ay by early, sowing peas broadcast. '8 Phis method steadily increased -the Pj leld, until year before last (1904), with a' orn eleven inches apart in six-foot " ows, and $11 worth of fertilizer to the O ?re, I made eighty-four bushels averanra aavora 1 nf mu hofll' Af>rt>fl 'C l?C IU llllW ?Vit| v. ?J asking as much as 125 bushels. tc Last year (1905) I followed the same aethori, plautiog the first week in ^.pril, seventy acres which had proluced the year before 1.000 poundu b{ eed cotton per acre.

The place of thisin the permanentimprove- " ment of land can never be taken by b commercial fertilizer, for it is absolute- t ly impossible to make lands rich as >' long as they are lacking in vegetable * matter. . v Land should be thoroughly and v deeply broken for corn, and this is the Lime in a system of rotation to deepen e the soil. Cotton requires a more com- 0 pact soil than corn, and while a deep 1 soil is essential to its best, development, it will not produce as well as loose, c apen land where cam does best on land thoroughly broken. A deep soil v will not only produce more heavily c than a shallow soil with good seasons, ? out it will stand more wet as well as more dry weather. a In preparing for the corn crop, land 1 should be broken broadcast duriug the k winter one-Yourth deeper than it has ^ seen plowed before, or if much vege- a Able matter is being turned under, it u nay be broken one-third deeper. This Ja as mnch deepening as the land will usually stand in one year and produce c< nrell, though it may be continued ??*?h v?ar. so loner as much dead b vegetable matter is being turned ri inder.

Corn should not be worked again un- tb il the growth has been so retarded di ,nd the stalk so hardened that it will lever grow too large. This is the most iu lifficult point in the whole process. 01 Sxperience, not judgment are required o know just how much the stalk t>: hould be stunted, and plenty of nerve ct s required to hold back your corn w ehen your neighbors, who fertilized .t planting time and cultivated rapid- ,, y, have corn twice the size of yours, a They are having their fun now. fours will come at harvest time.)

Fo hoeing should be necessary, and liddles may be kept clean until time reak out, by using harrow or by runing one shovel furrow in centre of liddle and bedding 011 that with oue r more rounds of turn plow. I would advise only a few acres tried y this method the first year, or until ou are familiar with its application. Especially is it bard at first, to fully arry out the stunting process where whole crop is involved, and this is be absolutely essential part of the proess. This method I have applied, or seen pplied successfully to all kinds of indin this section, except wet lands nd moist bottoms, and I am confident ; can be made ofgreat benefit through ut the entire South. In the middle West, where corn is 0 prolific and profitable and where unDrtunately for us, so much of ours has een produced, the stalk does not naurally grow large. As we come South ts size increases, at the expense of be ear, until in Cuba, and Mexico, it 1 nearly all stalk (witness Mexican arieties.) The purpose of this method is to liminate this tendency Of corn tn vergrowth at the expense^of^ield in bis southern climate. By this method I have made my orn crop more profitable than ray coton crop, and my neighbors and friende fho have adopted it have, without exeption, derived great benefit thererom. > Plant your own seed.
