I . ; Justice Day has resigned as a, member of the United States Su-I preme Court. He is 73 years of age. j The last two appointments to thatbench have been'republicans and itj is likely that the new appointee will! be a democrat. There is much spec-| ulation as to who will get the ap-j pointment. A good many names havei been mentioned. i ' Among the names suggested is1 that of Governor Hardwick of Georgia. We do not know, of course, and have little idea, who will get the ap-, pointmeht, but we are willing to1 mipss that President! | Harding will not appoint so nimble a! I "politician as Governor Hardwick to | so important an office. The Governor -j iias recently been defeated for re-!. P election and then for United Statesjj j Senator. He should have enough of } f seeking office now, and so should his p"' friends. He is not fitted to be a judge , and neither has he the learning nec-'j . essary for the position. 'j However, we believe he has made!< 1 a good governor for the Cracker jj State. It may be found that Georgia (] j,, did not improve the situation by ] substituting the new nominee of the < \ Democratic party for him. 1 THEY. DONT LIE DOWN AND i QUIT. <t The squirrels are barking on the limbs of the hicksrv nut trees, there j is frost on the cotton tails of the rabbits, and the 'big carp in Long 1 Cane has winked his eye at ex-sheriff < McMillan* but all of this does not i keep the Greenwood Index-Journal i |... . from thinking about the sad state of \ the country, and especially of those i people who will not help themselves. 1 Of t&ose who are willing to be (upji and doing, the Index-Journal is full 1 of hope, because in the end they 1 wiJKwiii, but the others?well reSid 1 what the good paper of our neigh- 1 boring city has to say: < "Over in Georgia, they have dis- ] covered a new money crop. They are '' raising peppers, sweet peppers, pi- 1 mento peppers. One can hear the old " line cotton farmer, who never raised anything else but cotton, snort al- | ready at the mention of such a sis- : sified money crop as peppers. Pep- ^ pers. Something his wife grew in ' l the garden. "But in Georgia they didn't lie down and quit when the boll weevil took the profit out of cotton. They kept digging away, and now every . few days, the Atlanta papers are tell- . ing of the profits made in central Georgia from growing pimento peppers. The despised garden plant has become a money crop. "One doesn't advise everybody to plant peppers. The world can't subsist on pimento sandwiches, but the example of the Georgia farmers in continuing to try is worthy to be followed. "Yesterday, the News and Courier commented editorially on the success in growing asparagus, with which planters in the Ridge Springs section were meeting. With intelligence and hard work, the boll weevil handicap * *- -*?? ?- ? Ti IS 'ueing uvercvuic. il iaan uaiuvi work and more intelligent planning and cooperation to make farming a success now. That's where the shoe pinches." CONDITIONS THAT ARE MORE FAVORABLE. (By N. L. Willet in The Augusta Chronicle.) I spent last week largely on the, Port Royal Railroad looking overt A O- I some experiment in suj vcau 6i , ing, southern types, and I will write] several soy articles in a few days, which will give very valuable data to our agriculture and which should be scrap-booked, for soy beans are ^ -- " - ! going to take the place of cow peas with us, but here are some interesting data which I take from my note j book. i ! What I Saw j Cotton is all out of the fields, so is corn, so is hay and tobacco, and peanuts are in the stack and soon the cutting down of ribbon cane will j begin. Rice has either been cut or j is ready to cut. Sweet potatoes are J being gathered and put into the po- j tato houses, and there is a new pota-! in hnncn. hv thn wav. at Ilankinson.i " . I These farmers dig sweet potatoes j before frost and wisely. It is the, gravest of errors to dig potatoes af-1 ter frost, for the potatoes are apti to be frosted and they always rot! sooner if the vines are frost killed.; Peanuts are being bought at seventy-! five dollars a ton which is a better j price than last year by the peanut) factory at Allendale. The Southern j Cotton Oil Company did a great work I for that section of the country in^ erecting this fine plant. This plant, buys peanuts all over South Georgia I j and they have recently installed ma-i chinery, too, for crushing the infe-!^ rior peanuts, thus making oil and;^ meal. This allows them to give more! ] for peanuts because there is less! waste. There are as many peanuts as I * last year in this section and the peanut men are not complaining. The Cattle Industry. The soft pedal is being put upon ;he cattle industry. The county igents are simply not stressing this ndustry. A great many people will' five it up at least temporarily. Cattle seem to be a drag on the' narket, and, of course, selling cat-! le at two and two and one-half cents I s a bad losing business. In place of | :attle the hog business and other j igricultural lines are being stressed. Hr. Gus York, county agent for lampton county, tells me that he t | ^ ihipped off from that county recent- k y four carloads of hogs, and that Mr Robertson, Allendale county agent, w | ^ md himself are figuring on getting.^ >ff a carload of chickens in the ear- ^ y part of the year.v. y V Better Feeling. y The biggest farmer on the Port ^ loyal Railroad told me last week ^ hat he lost quite heavily on his .'arms last year but that he was j naking money this year and I find ;hat the feeling in agriculture up ihd down the road is optimistic ;his year as opposed to pessimistic j i year ago. There is plenty of la>or, different from the red hill land 1 abor, will never go away. There i las always been plenty to eat down j .here. Agriculture here is far more t liversified than in the hilly coun- f .rv and the cultivation of land is 1 " "* ~ '-7 7- .. . . / ; i much easier proposition. The neg- i o does not have to work so hard c n these lands and he is apt to be ? aetter fed. The live stock' industry, r et me repeat, has gone practically j nto hogs and chickens, though there nay come a change if beef prices go c jigher. All the crops this season ^ vere saved well. In the richer lands l vhere King Cotton grows to some ( leight I found that this type of oot- ? ton had been grown by some. Cleve- i and, though, is the leading cotton. ^ Express cotton has done finely. The Delta type of long staple cotton has I ione exceedingly well and this cot-| ton, without doubt has a hard boll! weevil covering and is quite resistant |r :o the weevil. I am convinced, how-i ever, for a one inch big boll cotton, that College No. 1 is probably our c best type. f i Women And Crises. C >In all crises the women rise mag- t nificently to the exigency. I talked i with one farmer's housewife who ? made this year two hundred and|? seventy dollars on pecans. Another js one was sending out forty dollars worth of butter every month andjf her butter that I ate, I honestly be- jd lieve that the best butter that I had | ] eaten in my life. One good woman j< on this road the year before this! made a thousand dollars on chickens, jl while her husband lost two thousand j dollars on the farm. I find that the j minds of these farmers' wives arej; turned strongly to the following in-/ dustries: Pecans, chickens, Which j means eggs, day old chicks and fry- ,< ers and also butter. From Men!*! Work. Some d'f them see, too, in the San Pear a possible money making indus-, try for them. All of this above only brings in liftdney as pocket money fdr themselves and as a help in the i 'I inm A FUEL-SAVING FILM EJ AT THE OPERA HOUSE A very interesting film showing It how to make a one-third to one-half * saving in your fuel will be shown at the Opera House next week. st This film is being run by W.
