NOW THAT IT IS OVER.
Now that the primary election is j
over, it is perhaps time to say that!
the people of this state consume as
much time and a great deal more
energy in selecting officers for state
^id lesser offices as many men do in
1 - T -* i c c/->mo\vVlat
malting- a iiveimwuu.
of a reflection on the people of the
state that we begin away back in
May and do not finish with the election
of officers until November. AUj
the hurrah and stir may suit the fortunes
of the politicians but it is not
profitable to the people generally.
Of course most of the men who do
the running are out to save the people
from some tax burdens, but the
man who will lower taxes is seldom^
elected, and if he happens to get in-j
to office something always happens
to keep him from carrying out his,
well-laid plans.
We believe the people of Abbe-i
ville County, by a system of township
meetings could select in one afternoon
delegates to a county con-i
.vention, which in turn could select
officers for the county in an equally
short time, and at the same time
name delegates to a state convention
to nominate state officers, and that
neither the county nor the state
would suffer by so doing. We might
be spared a good deal of unnecessary
excitement by so doing as well as
get rid of most of the demagogues
and all the time-serving politicians
who have done so little for the state
in the past several years.
We might indeed hope that men ;
would be named for office who have j
real convictions on public questions, j
and who are not all things to all
men.

GROWING TOBACCO.
We do not know anything about |
growing tobacco, but if good tohapprv
rnn V>o (rrAli'n nn t.tio lanrlc: !
about Martin's Mill, we see no reason
why It cannot be profitably
grown in practically every section of
Abbeville County. The results of Mr
Quick's experiment with "the weed"
thjs year would seem to indicate that J
tobaeco can be made a very prorit-i
able crop in Abbeville County.
. We will continue to grow cotton |
:n this county for a long time. Buti
tVre will be years when not mueh|
cotton can be made. Then again it |
\> going to be more and more ex-|
pensive to grow cotton, and until
the price is considerably higher than
it is today there is going to be little
-.>r,nV to be made in the nlantinc
* . * , -1
and growing of cotton, even under
most favorable conditions. With
higher priced lands, higher priced
labor, higher priced fertilizers and
a new item of expense in the way of
calcium arsenate for poisoning, it is
going to cost so much to raise cotton
that the price must of necessity
bp greater if there is to be a profit
to the grower.
Ono way to keep from being forever
pauperized by cheap cotton is j
not to rely on it altogether. Byi
planting some cotton and some othrv
rrrrn n? v\ mnnov r?rr*n wa ivrmM
help ourselves very much. The other
c-rop which will bring in money is
what the people are looking for.
And it would seem from the experiment
already made that a tobacco
crop is worth considering.

CORN PRODUCTION
AT LOWER FIGURE
Crop Off More Than Half Million
Bushels Below That Of
Last Year.
Saluda, Sept. 16.?According to
report of the division of crop and
live stock estimates of the United
States department of agriculture, the
production of corn in South Carolina
will be about 600,000 bushels less
than last year, while the production
for the entire United States will be
approximately 100,000,000 bushels
less than in 1921.
In referring to the report B. B
Hare, agricultural statistician for the
United States department of agriculture,
says:
"The preliminary estimate of corr
nvnrWtirm in the state is 32,350,00C
bushels as compared with Dccembei
estimate for last year of 32,955,000
bushels. The present forecast for th?
entire United States is 2,874,959,000
bushels against 3,080,372,000 bush
els in 1921.
"Condition of corn in South Caro
lina on September 1 was 72 per cent
of normal sweet potatoes 81, Irisl
potatoes 76., peanuts 80., rice 75.
sorghum for syrup 80, cowpeas
tobacco 65., hay 88., millet 81., grap
es 80., and pears 65. The estimated
number of hogs on hand for fatten
ing is the same as last year.
"The excessive rains form earlj
epring to the middle of August sho^
tvery damaging effect on productior
of both cotton ana corn, ana tn<
dry weather at present is showing
considerable injury to late corn, ar
extent of which will not be knowr
until the next report.
HOME DEMONSTRATION
AGENTS MEET AT WINTHROF
Rock Hill, Sept 16.?The Hom<
Demonstration Agents of South Car
,olina are assembled at Winthroi
College, Rock Hill, for a specia
meeting. For five days they ar<
having intensive training in foot
preparation for market and study
ing a system of making a greatei
profit in poultry.
i The call to help the Farm Womar
market her produce is sounding
louder in the ears of the Hom<
Demonstration Department than anj
other problem. Every effort is being
made to train the Home Demonslra
^ion Agent that she may be of great
est value to the women in the county
where she is located. She is helping
the farm women pass through
this present valley and approach the
uplands of the future by making
money from the sale of food products
Special emphasis is being given tc
canning the products of the Home
Producers' Association. The Pine
Bark Fish Stew, as made by the
coast counties of our state, is being
used by this association. This rt'Cc'po
was recently completed by the State
Conservation Specialist.

IMPEACHMENT DAY
FIXED FOR OCTOBER
Executive Council of American Federation
of Labor Calls on the
Unions.
Atlantic City, Sept, 17.?Calling
upon unions throughout the nation
to set aside Sunday, October 1. as
"impeachment day" for demonstrations
against Attorney General
Daugherty and Federal Judge Wilkci'son,
the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor waded
through the last of the business
which has kept in annual session
here since last Saturday .
Notwithstanding its avowed determination
to remove the two government
officials from office becausc
of their part in obtaining the restraining
order against th? rail shoi
crafts, the council as one of its lasl
official acts went on record as op
posed to a general strike of organ
ized labor in sympathy with then
men.
