THE OUTLOOK.
lei
Sometime ago we stated in this!^e
I f"Vi
paper that cotton would remain the J
chief money crop of this section. [ *?
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

JUDGE FRAP
From all over the state messages
' regret on account of his death
ive come to the family of Judge
ary. 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 (

With uncommon frequency the :
ythe of death, the grim reaper, in j
b last two years has cut down 1

iry. Last year Associate Justices 1

urt of South Carolina passed a- <

iges have laid 'life's labors down, 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.

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

hardships appear 10 nave jm.*

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. The people of the state hear :

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.
The funeral was as simple as could
be, and just such exercises as the
