THJi SELL-A-BALE MOVEMENT. '1
We endorse every word of the wise
suggestion of the Anderson Daily ?
Mail that it is now up to the farmers d
to kelp out the towns by selling* to every
salaried man in the towns a I
bale ef cotton for ten eenta per j
pound. Two years ago the salaried |
mflB in. town, in. order to help the j
farmers out of the difficulties under j
whiekyiey labored, or thought they |
labored, and to keep many of them :
from bankruptcy, as it was Stated, i
joined the movement to buy a bale J
of eotton at ten cents per pound,
wh?B it was worth only about seven.
T\e tables have noVr turned, and
th? salaried man is pressed to the
waH, and his wife and children are
juai where the farmer's wife and
chikbea were two years ago. They
ae?d help. In this crisis the Daily
Mail suggests that the farmers sell
, , one baje of cotton to dach of these
salaried men who helped them in
,theit difficulties at ten cents per
poumV so that the salaried men may
sell 1m same for a good profit and
v get ea .their feet

. BACK UP AND COUPLE.
/! " , >.-?
The daily papers printed in t the
Georgia capital tell us that application
has been made to the Secretary
? of State of Georgia for a charter
i for the trolley line to be built from
K t
Anderson to Atlanta. The road will
cross the Savannah at Brown's Ferry,
eight miles beyond Antreville.
Now Abbeville county has been cut
to the minimum. The whole of the
lower part of the county has gone
from us, but we have been left t&&
I:: r4 . +' *'i ^ K
fertile farming lands of the upper
part of the county, which under the
constitution cannot be taken from
us. t
But these lands are worth nothing
to the city of Abbeville if the prodace
of these farms is not exposed
for sale on our market, and if the
J*.
people of this section do their bank
ing and trading in Anderson and
s Greenville and Greenwood.
A|id Abbeville is connected with
none of these sections. Lowndes
ville is joined to Anderson by a rail
road, and Due West and Donald*
are in easy reach of Anderson and
Greenwood, and the people of thes<
places more often visit these citiei
than they do Abbeville.
But Antreville is joined to no plac<
as yet. And it has been the drebro
of the Antreville people to get bettei
connections with some railway town
and they will get it sooner or later,
do not forget that fact. A community
whose farming lands now sell foi
one hundred dollars per acre, anc
whose crops are worth so manj
thousands of dollars annually, wili
not always be left out in the cold.
Therefore, we believe that the
people of this city should undertake
to build some kind of a highway
either a trolley line, or a steam railroad,
or a forty-foot public highway
*?* il- - A 11_?
;o as to connect witn me troueji
line at the nearest point beyond An;reville,
and thus bring the Antrerclle
people in close touch with us
md with the great Seaboard system
>f railways, and at the same time
:onnect ourselves with the fine farmng
lands and the good people on
>oth sides of the river.
We are firm believers in the moor
driven vehicles now growing in
ise so fast. We shall have ten and
wenty ton trucks on our public
'oads very soon, just as soon as the
oads will furnish them the means
* j-:? ?1. l -?? xi
n. uumg uic wuia iui wuivu uicj ore
lesigned. And for that reason we
hould prefer a forty foot road to
;nd beyond Antreville to either a
team road or a trolley system.
A forty foot road with twenty feet
f cement in the middle for the
leavy traffic and with space for
ighter vehicles on either side would
ie the greatest feeder we have ever
tad. It might be kept up in many
rays. Of course it would cost somehing
to build it and it would cost
omething to maintain it, but it
.*ould be worth the price.
The members of the General Asembly
from Abbeville County if they
rant to do something worth while
or this section, might put their
leads together "and seek to put some
>lan in operation whereby this great
>oon might be brought to Abbeville
ind Antreville and way stations. t

THE NEW AWAKENING.
} 7 T
[ That a new day is come to the
i farmers of the South we all see.
) Nothing is doing more to help along
matters than the interest of the government
in improved methods oi
l farming. The hundreds of demon
stration agents, located in the sever
nl counties and nolitical divisions oi
, the South, are doing a good work.
But we believe a great deal more
r could be done with fewer agents,
I (better equipped for the work, than
r(with agents in every county as we
[ now have them. Without undertaking
to discount the work done by
i any particular employee of the gov)
ernment, we make the statement that
,|the success of a farmer Jike Bob
Hodges, of Hodges, who has concerted
the sandy waste lands around
r Hodges into the most fertile acres in
'all this section, is worth more'to the
- county than all the book-farmers in
i the state.
| And we do not mean to say that
i Bob Hodges has not the theory, and
that he does not read and study his
subject as much as does Secretary
| Houston. What we do say is that he
J not only does this, but he has put
his knowledge to a practical test, and
he has made good. He has taught
the farmers in his section that the
fertilizers which they have been buying
are indigenous to the soil which
| they work, and if only they will use
'their thinking apparatus to turn tba
'fertilizers loose, they may be made
'available. With erimson elover he
|is doing the work, which the high
grade fertilizers, imported for the
most part from abroad, formerly
did for all the farmers. And there
are other men who are doing the
same. There is Major W. H. Long,
'who in three years has converted a
rocky hill-side, abandoned lands, into
cotton lands producing & bale of
cotton to the acre. And there is S.
I J. Wakefield, of Antreville, who has
done and who is doing the same
thing.
The one day of investigation made
I by the farmers of Abbeville and
I Greenwood counties, and adjoining
(counties, on the farm of M r. Hodges
during this summer, has been worth
more, we believe, in praetieaJ results
than has the work of all tbie demonstration
agents in this congressional
district, It made men ace the posaiGUARANTEE

bilities of intelligent work, ba<

And this leads us to say tha

: district with a salary of fire tn
and dollars, if thereby we might

: Long , or Mr. Wakefield to take

, who are just out of the Agrieult
i Colleges may know a good deal al
i farming, in a theoretical way, w
the average farmer does not ki
- and he may be able to advance
advocate good ideas, which if fol'
; ed would be worth while, but ti
agents do not commend themse
to a farmer, who when he quest!
the agent, finds that the agent

It may be the idea of the Dep
ment of Agriculture to get tl
agents in the counties first, and t
undertake to secure better men
advancing the pay, and the plan i
work out in the end. But pract
results will be reached sooner
putting the right kind of educf
