[ *? This prediction is coming true it seems. It is a fact that very little Gi cotton has been made in the county the past year and it may be that no more will be made next year, never- sc.' theless the money which comes here for agricultural products will con-,m( sist largely of the money received C1? for our cotton crop. At one time and another people have thought, and we have been led Ws to believe, that perhaps other crops JU< would take the place of cotton andj^u that the growing of cotton in this I section would be a lost art. But it At seems not so now. In Allendale oun-(on ty where the farmers grew peanuts extensively for a year or two, we Fo notice that they are going back to r*' cotton, at least the yield the present Ju< year indicates this. Perhaps the re-!^< turns from the peanut crop have not j been such as to recommend it to the CEJ farmers of that section as a money :JU( crop. In today's paper it is stated^11 the sweet potato market just now ^ is not promising. Sweet potatoes in.thf New York are being offered, accord- !ne' ing to an article we have just read,'*01 at fifty cents per bushel, and only twenty-five cents is being offered.;* Potatoes at such prices will bring *h< little money to the farmer. co' n:. This of course does not mean that the farmer must go back to cotton UP as a one crop proposition. But it|W^ does mean that for the present at;s^ least he should go slow about pro- es* iucing crops for market unless he | first finds the market. i'in But while cotton must be grown,! dis -as it appears now, as our chief mon-|Ju ey crop, we must take into consider-;a 1 ation that cottbn cannot be grown at (He the prices at which it was formerly! 18 grown. More labor is required to it farm a given acreage, and the ex-'Sp penses are considerably greater than i lat heretofore. It follows that less cot-|m? ton will be grown on the farms of | th< the state, and while good prices may:^1 be obtained for the staple, there will j So not be money to pay for everything, j ovi We must practice such diversifica-j He tion o f crops as shall enable us to^tw have at home things necessary for ele the running of the farms. Nothing J should be bought at the stores (ly which may be grown profitably at.lik home. Cotton as far as possible must so< be the surplus crop, and not the crop, pa as heretofore from which money |de< /Comes to pay every kind of demand.! lo\ But as stated it is necessarily the J At chief money crop of the farmer injbu this section. th? This being true, the farmer should plan accordingly. The man an who can grow cotton with the least pa expense, and who can produce the best yield at a given expense, is go- Ne ing to be the successful farmer. Those who would be successful ^ should prepare their farms now for w* a proper planting next year and for ^ proper cultivation. .Fertilizers must: ? be had, and the farmers had as well! pu begin to make contracts for such as j ^ may be needed. The farmer should i _ mi purchase*the necessary poison for his cotton also. Lands should be i I ? cleared, and everything put in shape |wj for intelligent cultivation. It is along these lines we think jt * 1 A. iLa ..fill Ani kic I rut I Hie lawuci nui nvm v/u V ui difficulties. ^ ?. of GirU' Basketball th Over 25 of the high school Ama-Jse zons have come out for basketball th this week, and through the kindness h* oi| the Board of Selectmen of the tli Abbeville Cotton Mills, . the girls, si are having practice every after- pi noon in the auditorium of the com- w munity buildng.

People in all parts of the ate have voiced their appreciation his public services and of his prite life. At Spartanburg, on Saturiy, the court being ii^ session with on. C. J. Ramage, of Saluda pre iing, official notice was taken ofj s death. Resolutions recounting his , any virtues as a man and public rvant were adopted by the bar, id these were ordered spread on . e minutes of the court. The editorial expressions from the , ading papers of the state have , en unanimous in their approval of e distinguished career of our wnsman, as the following will ( ow: 1 1 eenville Piedmont. ( With uncommon frequency the : ythe of death, the grim reaper, in j b last two years has cut down 1 ;mbers of the South Carolina judi- i iry. Last year Associate Justices 1 rdrick and Gage of the Supreme i urt of South Carolina passed a- < iy, while this year three circuit ; iges have laid 'life's labors down, I dges Mclver, Moore and Gary. i Circuit Judge Frank B. Gary of ibeville, who died yesterday, was 1 e of the ablest and best men upon * ; bench of the Palmetto State. * f fourteen years he wore' the er- 1 re a? became a South Carolina A ige. He commanded the respect of ? bar and of the people. He had ; aspect, me aemeanor ana tne it of mind of the true and just ige. He kept the scales of justice equipoise. Never deviating, from 5 path prescribed for judges by i Constitution 04 the State, he was, vertheless, a poiyfer for law enrcement. He was not easy-going, t dutiful and faithful to his high 1st. He was unusually learned in ; law. When he completed .holding art in Greenville lS^t year, The idmont took occasion to comment} on the excellent work he had done, lile Solicitor Smoak published a ttement lauding him in the high; terms. ' * . Not many men in South Carolina his generation have had a more itinguished public career than dge Gary. Beginning his service as bill clerk of the South Carolina use of Representatives, he was in 90 elected to that body, servi'pg ilk for six terms, for half that time as eaker. He was elected J>y the legisue to succeed the Hon. A. C. Latiir in the United States Senate for ? unexpired term and served a ar in that body .with distinction, on after his senatorial term was er, he was elected a circuit judge, i was a member of the bar for enty-seven years before he was ivated to the bench. As a man, Judge Gary was greatesteemed by a host of friends who ed him for his manliness and his rial graces. He adorned any comny of which he was part. He took ep interest in public affairs. He red the Palmetto State, especially >beville County and the Cokesry section, and felt great pride in sir history. South Carolina has lost an able d devoted son and a faithful, im? ? % - -I 5..

Peurifoy, of Walter-, jro, whose resignation has been^ :nt to the Governor, was brought this decision by the adv:ce of his lysicians that the confinement and; / -# i . JK B. GARY [ hard work of the Bench were telling on his health. The system which is followed in South Carolina of having the Circuit Judges rotate from circuit to circuit and from county to county, has much to commend it; but it has always been hard on the Judges and its A - 1 hardships appear 10 nave jm.* rather than to have diminished. The StateIn his service on the circuit bench Judge Frank B. Gary was insistent upon the enforcement of the law and exerted himself constantly to bring grand juries and petit juries to a correct understanding of the truth that upon their firm adherence to their sworn duties the maintenance of order depends. He was not one of the easy-going judges (fortunately there are not in South Carolina many of them) to whom malefactors hope-j fully apply for light b&il when they ^re arrested or for the benefits of technical rules that make for delay and give them chances never con:emplated by the spirit of the statates. He was a believer in the necessity of the education of the people' ind exerted himself to impress upon :hem higher conceptions of their civ-j; c obligations. Of modest manners, almost to shy-!,' less, Judge Gary's personal life was jeyond reproach and in his home;! :'own, Abbeville, he was held in warm : regard.

Born in the I ittle village of Cokesbury, Abbeville! bounty, more than sixty years ago,1, it an early age he was admitted to: .he bar and entered upon the prac-( ;ice of his profession. Few men have i; ;njoyed a" public career more distinguished. , Elected.in early life to the Generil Assembly, he ably served his State' n that body for about ten years,' laving been its Speaker for about lalf his term of service. He took a! :onspicuous part in the Constitution-! ?1 Convention of 1895. - His native. State further recognized his splen-i lid talents by electing him to thej Jnited States Senator to fill the un;xpired term of the Honorable A. C.11 L.atimer, deceased. For many years last he has presided as circuit judge, Tom the Eighth Circuit. Thus was jiven to him the exceptional privil-j ?ge of representing South Carolina lot only in the legislative branches| >f government, both State and fed-, ;ral, but also of presiding as a mem)er of her judiciary. | But useful as his services were as; t legislator, he was best fitted for, he Bench. He came from a~family! >f judges. His only brothers were| udges. The Honorable Eugene B.' 3ary is at present Chief Justice of >ur Supreme Court, and the Honor- ! ible Ernest Gary, now deceased, vas former judge of the Fifth Cir:uit. Dignified, courteous, and profound in his knowledge of the law, le presided with patience, firmness ind impartiality. His purity of pur-' >ose and adherence to justice and;ruth were unquestioned; his mas?ry of the principles of his profession undoubted. His ever-present, cindly smile and greeting,- his modesty and his gentleness made him a nost lovable friend and beloved ju ^ ' I nst. He was an advocate of all '.hat was ligh and noble in his profession, and le progressed in the administration jf the law to meet the changing conditions of the times. He never hesitated to brush aside a technicality where it was possible to obtain justice. His work is done. He served his State with marked distinction and the impress of his labors will long remain. j "Like shadows gliding o'er the plain Or ^clouds that roll successive on, j Man's busy generations pass, And as we gaze, their forms are gone." Greenville News. The death of Judge Frank B. Gary of Abbeville has occasioned regret everywhere in South Carolina where he has friends and acquaintances. For fourteen years a member of the judiciary and for thirty years previously engaged in politics in this state, .Tiid^e Gary was long in the " .'.b* c limelight and held up scorch lessly under the test He was one of i the ablest and fairest judges our state has had, adhering scrupulously and fearlessly to the majesty of the law and impressing upon those who were in his court the meaning of reverence of justice. He was unusually well grounded in law, having served a long apprenticeship at the bar before donning the ermine. His service on the bench was uni formly honorable and efficient. Unfortunately the grim reaper removed him when the accumulation of wisdom and experience had marked him for even greater stewardship and renown, but the state has#been enriched for the years that were spared him. South Carolina may be thankful for his career. (Mrs. Carrie McC. Patrick in The Anderson Tribune.) To have lived so that one and all of the newspapers of your state would give a meed of unstinted praise and encomium of "well done" is an everlasting monument. This is what has been poured out in abundance as a tribute to Judge Frank B. Gary, since his untimely death on Wednesday. "Untimely," for he was yet a young man, not so young in years perhaps, but in spirit. So capable of making the world a better place in whi^h, to live, that it seems his going away is^n irreparable loss. He was a just judge, combining with that justice a comprehensive mercy. He was a genial comrade, a faithful friend, and a gentleman in the true | sense of the word, unselfish, gener- I ous, and radiating good cheer. That such man was beloved is not unex- ! pected, the expression of this love is I difficult. ' j Many used the most exquisite flow- j ers for that purpose at the funeral ] on Saturday afternoon. A large an- | chor of pink and white roses told of j the love and respect of the Abbeville j Bar Association for this member, j and another handsome arrangement j spoke of the place he held in his ; church, for it bore the names of the stewards of the Methodist Church There were hundreds of individual expressions, and of other organizations of which Judge Gary was a valued member.
