He is down and out. Yet he is a good business man in his way. He understands every detail of the business he has followed ; he is intelligent and olear beaded, and he is temperate and enjoys good health. But he has built up a reputation for being "tricky." He is not a man whom his emplovees or hin. associates can trust. He bas been in several good posi tiona, but, somehow, be doesn't stay long in one plaoe. He is soon found out, and as soon as he is found out he is displaced and some other man succeeds him. More than, once he HT has been suooeeded by a man less competent than himself, but always by a man who oonld be trusted, who could be depended on. Each time bi loses a position it is harder for him to get a new one. He has just about reaohed the end of his row. He is pretty generally known now, and people are afraid to have anything to do with him. We heard of bim a little while baok begging for a plaoe that paid only half as much as the one he hold two or three years ago. It is a pitiful oase, this, but it is not an unnatural one. We have all seen cases like it. gi Boys and yonng men ought to learn this lesson as they start out in life. It is worth more than anything else. The man who oannot be trusted oannot succeed. He oaunot hold any p sitioa of trust or honor or responsibility for himself or for others. He will be found out just so surely as he lives. It does not pay to be tricky or un certain. It hi.B been tried time and again and has never yet brought en during success or profit or satisfac tion to any man. A man's ability or capaoity depend in a large measure on heredity. Those things must be born in him, although they may be developed by his environments and his own efforts. But a roan's obaraoter-his relia bility - depend upon himself and upon himself alone. Any man can iff command for himself confidence and trust if he will do so. A trustworthy, reliable man of or dinary ability is more sought for and, is more successful in all the walks of lifo than the brilliant or unusually capable man in whom there is a lack of confidence. These are truths that are so plain and so old that there should be no necessity to argue them. But old peoplo forget and young people are easily deceived. Every young man t& about to start in life and every boy growing up should ha"o these things impressed upon him so there can bo ii o excuse for him if he goes on tho rocks. The race is not to tho swift, but to the sure. It is the man who can be trusted, who can be depended on, who will longest hold his placo on the track.-Andorson Mail. The Old Time Way.

It is roughly estimated that it brought into the county between $800.000 and $825,000. Last spring's truok orop was sold for about (125,000. It is thought that if the aoreage of the truok orop continues to rapidly increase cotton will not long remain king in that county. Allied with Hi? Farmer?. The contribution of one thousand dollars bj tba Virginia-Carolins Chemical Company and of smaller but liberal eums by other fertiliser companies to the Cotton Growers' Association, at first blush, appears remarkable. One of this Associa tion's avowed objects is to oauae a reduotion in the amount of fertilisers used by Southern cotton planters. The fertiliser companies, however. take a broader and wiser view. The Southern farmers are their chief cus tomers, not only this year, but in all years. Unless they have ability to buy, the fertilizer men cannot expect to sell. The farmers are striving to gain the position where they will have a voice in fixing the price of their commodity. Other producers occupy such a position now and the farmers believe that as a condition precedent to reaching it, intelligent restriction must be placed about pro duction* The logic in this is irre sistible. The fertiliser companies under stand further that the eduoation movement implies no fight upon them. Curtailing fertilizers has no other objeot than to ourtail the cot ton orop of 1905. There is no dis- ! position lu lesson the amount of fertilizers used for wheat, potatoes and other crops. While the fertilizer companies ; have exhibited good business judg- . mont in thus oo-operating with the farmers, they show a liberal spirit. < They make it clear that they keep in mind their mutuality of interests with Southern farmers and give to the latter assurance that they may be depended npon as allies whew the Southern farming industry is men aced.-Charleston News and Courier.

Washington, February 28.-Rela tive to the bill pending in Congress for increasing the salary of the Pres ident to $100,000 and a pension of $25,000 after retirement froth offioe, Congressman Aiken said to-day: "The President of the United States is underpaid and the salary ought to have been raised long ago. No President we will have or have had for many years more richly de serves this increase than Mr. Roose velt. I sincerely hope that the per sons having the present bill in charge in the House will go to work on Monday and not rest until it has passed this body. There ought not to be objections from a single man and it ought to go through by unani mous consent. I believe it would do so, too, only somebody seems to have neglected pushing it up to this time. There is much economy talk in the House, but no one wants this to apply to a man who is pleasing so many people by his courtesy in the White House As I understand it, the measure providing for the in crease must be passed at this session or it will not apply to President Roosevelt at all. The ue>t admin- : istration would not bc quaiiu?u lo make an increase in salary, and the 1 President will be excluded from par- , bioipation in the benefit of any read- j justment of salaries. The work aught to be done and can be done if the right persons get back of it. Of course, the matter is too delicate a JUC for President Roosevelt to per mit being mentioned to him, but I ?rn satisfied that if aotion were taken by Congress in a unanimous manner the President would not feel that he . was justified in interfering by a ] reto."

The sanitary and drainage commis lion of Charleston oounty, South ] Carolina, in its report to the Legisla- !1 .ure, shows that its total receipts ' lave been a few hundred dollars ^ nore than the expenditures, and j nore sanitary drainage has been ac- j tomplisbed than in any year since 1 he commission has been created. ' Three-fourths of the territorry known \ is Charleston Neck has been made ,, lealthy for tho white man, and it is i xpected will be ocoupied by white * armors, and it is anticipated that ' UOb a settlement will add to the ' irosperity of Charleston. Out of bout 400,000 acres of land in the ounty not more than 50,000 acres re under cultivation, but the drain go is fully expeoted to add greatly o the cultivated area. Landowners pprociate the importance of the pork of the commission and are eadily paying the cost of making hoir land sanitary. The drainage tas resulted in a great advance, in ome oases amounting to 300 or 400 tor cent, in the assessed values of and. The work being done in Charleston county is of value to >ther parts of the South. lu that eotion are vast stretches needing mly intelligent handling for drain tge and irrigation to become garden pots of productivity. There is so ouch fertile land still untouched by he plow and needing only ordinary lultivation to bear great crops that ho waste lands aro not receiving the ttention they deserve.

Bowenville, Qa., February 27.-Edi tors Keowee Courier: Looking tcoeutlj through an old diary kept by my father, James A. Doyle, I noticed some things that might possibly interest a few of your readers, especially the older ones, lt is for the young generation to figure out in their minds the contrasta between then and now. Among other things I find the following: "No house on the road between Pick ons' Ferry and Walhalla the first time I traveled the road. The first house was at the upper end of what is now Wal halla, where lived an old man named Houston. This was in 1828. Land along thia road would hardly bring 26 cents an aero. Of the MoElroy place Dave Sloan and Overton Lewis said it would not do to buy this land at 25 cents per aero for speculation. "J. A. Doyle bought Lewis Moore head's place for a oolt in 1835. "Tract of 100 acres near Double Springs was given as boot In a horse trade about 1820. Common thing to trade a horse or oolt for a traot of land. A gun also was a big item in a land trade. "When I was tax collector of Piokens Distriot (1840-1848) land was divided into three classes or grades and taxed as fol lows: "First Class-Bottom land, taxSOoeute per 100 acres. HS?001><. Clues-Good upland, tax 18 couts per 100 aeree. "Third Class-included the balance and was taxed 0 cents per 100 acres. Most of the land given tn in this class. "Tho first licensed physician in < Pickens District was Dr. Robert Maxwell, who lived near Fair Play, on the Beaver dam. This was in 1840. "In 1848 I knew personally every tax payer in Pickens Distriot. "William Doyle, father of James A. Doyle, was born near Hagerstown, Md., ibout 1784, of parents whoso ancestors were among the first settlers of that State. His parents moved to Pendleton Distriot, South Carolina, when William was quite a boy. My grandfather on my. mother's side was ac Irishman named Alexander, who waa a soldier lu the American Revolution. "Riobard Lewis, father of Overton J. Lewis, bought Tam assoc place from son >f Gen. Andrew Piekons. At death of Riobard Lowis Tamassee was given to Andrew Lewis as bis part of Richard's 38 ta te. Overton J. Lewis swapped even the Dendy place at Riobland for Taraas iee. which In 1832 was valued at $2,500. "I was tax collector of Rabun county, Gteorgia, in 1830. Amount of taxes in "hat year did not exoeed $700 for the jounty." These event? happoned in the long ago. But few, if any, now living can reoall a knowledge of those things. The first louse on road "at upper upper end of ,vhat is now Walhalla" was located In all probability near tho Weiben's spring. Lauds were oheap because of the sparse >op ula ti on. Horses wcte scarce and 'datively more valuable than now be lause they were the principal means of ranspoi talion. Guns were accounted ?aluahle assets. They were maoufac ured in the old country and, in eonse* pionco, were scarce and dear. A gun in hose days waa also highly valued on ac ount of the ahn nd an t game. Most lands Te given in for taxation iu the third lass to-day just as they were in 1840. "Times chauge and men change with hom." I am not, however, one of those hat believo the times have ohanged for ho worse. We are in tho midst of the nest progressive and prosperous years he country has ever seen. The people >f this generation compare favorably In very way with those that have gone bo oro. But it is a duty we owe to some imes look backward and honor tho nomory of the st univ pioneers who did o muon in tho past to Insure the happi tess of the present. F. B. Doyle. My Breath.

Tho action of the committeo slnco tito adjournment In formulating a constitution and by laws as a li -sis and bond of unlou for tho continued existence of the organb /ut ion ts also worthy of all praise for its comprehensiveness and adaptation to the objects sought to bo promoted, ft is an able document and should bo the means of consolidating and unify ing the interests of the cotton growers ?nd manufacturers in the future. ,/hetbcr its effective influence shall outlive the present emergency and pro mote the cotton growers' best interests in the future will depend largely upon the good judgment and sound discre tion of those in active control cf the organization, backed by the loyal and voluntary support of the great mass of the farmers themselves. But many of the most Intelligent and up-to-date farmers, supported, by those wno are* themselves only sincere friends of the farmers, are unable to see the wisdom of the advice to reduce the amount of fertilizers to be used by the growers of cotton. It is all "well and good" to cut down tho ac??uge in order to curtail the size of the coming crop. It would have been better to have cut the area to one-half the acreage of last year. ]t would have been still better to have advised and argued upon a horizontal cut to 10 acres to the plow, assuming that such a reduction would amount to about one-half, taking the entire cotton area Into account The effect of such a re duction would practically have result ed in such a large decrease in tito ag gregate cotton output that even a very much larger increase in thc per aero application of fertilizers than is at all probable would not suffice to produce more than a 10,000,000 bale crop, under most favorable conditions. For what docs a farmer use com mercial fertilizers if not for the pur pose of increasing tho yield per aero and at the same time, ns an insepar able incident, to lessen the cost per pound of producing the cottc ? If tho fertilizer does not onable the farmer to produce a hale of coltdn at a .ess cost than it could be produced without the fertilizer, then what good omeo docs tho fertilizers perform? If farmer who has been growing cotton without tho aid of fertilizers at a cost of 7 cents per pound of lint, what ls the use of applying fertilizers If such uso does not lower tho cost to G cents or to 6 cents per pound of lint? Suppose a given farmer has usually planted 100 acres in cotton and that tho average yield, without fertilizer has been about forty bales, which H about thc goneral average. Will any ono claim that suth a yield has cost less than 7 cents per pound of lint?

Ho wtll have produced, on the *0 acres thirty bales; whereas before he produced only 200 bales (the half of 40 bales) on that area. This .gain of. 100 haley ls almost entirely due to the uso of $2 worth of fertilizers per acre, or $100 worth ou the 60 acres, ""skins the 10 bales cost $10 each, or 2 cents per pound, ready to pick, or 8 cents per pound balled ready for market. Ot course. I hose 10 bales, or 5,000 pounds, are distributed throughout the 30 bales. Tho 20 bales that the 60 acres of land produced of Itself we have supposed to have cost 7 cents per pound or $700 Tor the 20 bales. The 10 bales of in crease cost $100, plus the cost of pick ing. $60, total, $160. Of course, then, the 30 bales will have cost $700 plas $150, or a grand total of $850 for the 30 hales, of 5 2-3 cents per pound of lint. The suppositions on which these cal culations are based are all within very moderate bounds, and aro used only to illus!rate the principle. As much more liberal application of fertilizeT per u-re would make a still stronger illus tration. Therefore, it seems to me plain, that the farmer should produce a lsrorer percentage of that undivided portion. >f each bale that cost only 8 cants per pound, ariel a smaller percentage of the portion that cost 7 cents per pound. If me half of each bale of cotton co?t 3 .cuts per pound s nd the remaining lialf cost 7 cents por pound, then it ls tuite clear that the mean cost of tho jaie of cotton would be an exact mean ?el ween 3 and 7, or 6 couts per pound. lt one-third only of the bale coBt 3 cuts a pound, and the remaining t wo hirds cost 7 cents per pound, tho whole bale will have cost 6 2-3 cents )er pound.
