HARRIOTT TO THE FARMER?.
. Vast Yeal" Has Hoon Most Prosperous
Since Olga in/at ion of Union.
To the Officers and Members of the
Farmers' Union:
Members of the Farmers' Union
everywhere, in the South particular
ly, have just concluded one of the
most prosperous and progressive
years in the history of the organiza
tion.
Interest lu recruiting members, In
tercut in the active problems of the
order, is at all points vigilant and
aggressive. The organized farmer ls
alive to his own rights and the way
to obtain thom, as he has not been
within my recollection.
In the South peculiarly, the lesson
of the year just passed should point
a powerful and significant lesson for
this year and the years to come.
Cotton has sold, uniformly, at a
profitable figure, mainly because
there was not too much of lt. The
crop came well within the demands
of world-wide consumption, and as a
result bu little was sold at a loss, as
has been the case In years gone by.
We can Insure the same measure
of prosperity for the new year. We
can even Increase that prosperity, If
we diversify Intelligently and keep
the cotton acreage within reasonable
bounds.
It would be wretched business pol
icy for ourselves and the South to bo
lured by the attractive prices of the
fall and winter Into planting a huge
acreage for the coming season.
I know of no better way to undo
our own prosperity and to play Into
the hands of the cotton gamblers.
These latter gentlemen have been
unable to hammer the price of cot
ton this season, because every Intel
ligent man knew for himself that the
crop was not of abnormal propor
tions.
To trade on the prosperity of last
season and tempt Providence with a
record-breaking crop, would be to
court sure and heavy loss for our
selves and sacrifice much of the gain
recorded recently.
I, therefore, urge upon you to raise
at home your food supplies, the Bli ti
piles for your family, for your help,
and for your stock.
There ls not one State In the South
but can adopt this policy, freeing It
self of the hay and wheat and corn
domination of the other sections and
avoiding the laying of a mortgage on
cotton to pay other people for the
products we should raise for our
selves.
We have had before us the lesson
of bard years and tremendous crops,
and profited by them. We have now
before us the lesson of a prosperous
year. Lei us see If we cannot also
prolit by It? teachings.
I look for 1910 to be the most
wonderful year in the history of
Southern farming. That prophecy
will be fulfilled If the organized far
mers of the South practice diversifi
cation religiously, at the same tim 1
avoiding, as they would tho plague
and death Itself, the foolish tempta
tion to plant heavily for cotton.
Let Us more than duplicate 19 10.
We can accomplish that i? we ob
serve scrupulously the programme I
have outlined. Chas. S. Barrett;

.Negroes to Help in Taking Census.
Predicting that the coming count
will show approximately io,ooo,ooo
negroes in the United States, direct
ing that negroes be selected to count
their race 111 those enumeration dis
tricts where blacks muster two
fifths or more of the poulation, and
requiring both white and negro enu
merators in many Southern districts
lo preclude negroes from enumerat
ing whites, Census Director Durand
has issued the following general In
structions lo supervisors:
"Negroes can doubtless obtain the
information required from their own
race more accurately (ban white
enumerators, I do not consider lt
desirable (hat in the South negroes
enumerate white families. In the
South negro enumerators would not
be able to obtain as accurate statis
tics regarding thc white population
as white enumerators could."
The instructions, approved by Sec
retary Nagel, subject all applicants
to the efficiency test.

THE LIEN LAW.
Dented timi It (Javo Right to Mort
gage What Didn't Exist.
(Cor. Nows and Courier.)
Many here take lssuo with your
Columbia correspondent In his posi
tion that the repeal of the Hen law
destroys the right "to mortgage that
which does not exist-the planted
crop." A lien as was provided by
Section 3,009 is separate and dis
tinct from a mortgage, and Its re
peal does not affect the right to
mortgage even an implanted crop.
Tho Supreme Court in Creech vs.
Long, 7 2 S. C., pago 25, holds as fol
lows: "A verbal promise to give a
mort&age on cerotaln chattels to se
cure the payment of a debt Impresses
such property with an equitable lien.
Such equitablo mortgage may bo
created by paroi agreement on crops
to he raised, and attaches as soon as
tiley are In esse, but such agreement
to execute an agricultural lien is not
au equitable mortgage." "Property
not in esso may be the subject of an
equitable mortgage, and ls impressed
with a Hen as soon as it becomes into
existence." The lien law is purely
a creature of the statute, the mort
gage has its existence in the common
law, one being entirely independent
of tile othor, and tho taking away the
satutory right to give a Hen, does not
destroy the Inherent right to mort
gage. Indeed the mooted question
before tho last Legislature was whe
ther or not that body could pass an '
act that would have the authority of
law, I. e., that would bo constitu
tional, prohibiting the mortgaging of
even an un planted crop because If
tills ls not done the repeal of the lien
law will be a "dead letter," the
mortgage cairylng all the alleged
evils attending the lien, and ls even
a better security in that upon execut
ing it rests the title at once In the
mortgage, subject, of course, to the
equity of redemption, and because lt
can be more readily enforced. We
know of no statute that says "that a
mortgage can be taken upon a crop
that is up in the fields." There is a
sali e that says that no mortgage of
a crop shall be good and effective to
convey to the mortgagee any Interest
In the crop other than the crop to he
raised during the year in which the
mortgage ls given. S.

SUNSHINE KAYS.
The Benson of good cheer brought
to me cards, books and dainty gifts
Ulled with sweet messages of love
and Inspiration. They came from
the North, South, East and West,
and from the mountains to the sea in
tho fair Palmetto State. And be
fore Christmas, packages came, enab
ling us to send from the State head
quarters over live hundred rays of
cheer.
A gift I value greatly came from
an old soldier, prompted by appre
ciation for what I had done for the
soldiers. 1 appreciate the valuable
book and the thought that prompted
the gift and the friendship of the
giver, who ls an "old gentleman of
the South," which is the highest type
of citizenship. The book was "Remi
niscences of the Civil War," by Gen.
John Ii. Gordon. The giver did not
know that there was a chain that
binds me closely to Gen. Gordon. At
a reception at Agnes Scott College 1
was presented to Gen. (Jordon, and
Miss Hopkins said, "This girl is from
Hampton's Stale and was taught by
her grandfather lo yell for Hampton
before she was a year old." The
general, taking me in lils arms, kiss
ed me, and raising his eyes to heaven
prayed that I night "live to do some
thing for my Stale and keep up the
Hamilton spirit."
1 have tried tn an humble way for
ten years to do this, and as the year
is closing I thank God, while the way
has been rough, Ile has guided me
and many fond hopes have come to
pass.
One year ago to-night as the year
was closing, I walked out of the State
House from a meeting of the State
Teachers' Association. In front of
me was the life-like statue of Hamp
ton, and Trinity church, where the
great worrier sleeps-In the words of
Father Ryan, "Sleeps the sleep of
noble slain, defeated, yet without a
stain." As 1 walked by Trinity grave
yard lo my boarding house I stopped
to meditate. Surrounded by such en
vironments, could my thoughts be
other than high and lofty, freighted
with a desire to help the struggling
around nie, when the bells sent out
the sweetest chimes to tell of the
closing year? Rut from a tomb 1
thought I heard the words from the
Immortal Timrod, "Girt with such a
will % do and bear, assured In the
right and mailed with prayer, thou
wilt not bow to despair," and again
from the same sweet singer I hear
him sing of the Palmetto State, "Toll
the world that since the world be
gan, no fairer land fired a poet's lays,
or has given a home to man."
To-night, as the year 1 !) 1 0 conics
In, I am sitting by the fireside of my
old home on the Tugaloo river--The
Tu ga loo Farm, where four genera
tions have dwelt in peace and love ol
conni ry, and to me conies as a new

Washington, Jan. 6.-Senator Per
kins, of California, slipped on the
sidewalk this morning in front of his
hotel, and, lt is believed, severely
injured his spine. He was carried to
lils apartments, where he was given
prompt medical attention.
Senator Perkins fell with terrific

a dazed and apparently semi-con
scious condition. Passers-by rushed j
to lils aid and carried him hack lo
his apartments. Dr. Magruder, who
was summoned, declared the patient
had suffered a severe wrench of the
spine In addition to painful bruises
about the body. Tho physician did
not feel justified in stating how soon
he would recover.
Huntington Wilson, assistant sec- i

pavement as he stepped from his au
tomobile last night and cut his face
so badly that he was taken to his

JANUARY ON THE FARM.
Twelve Things lo Do This Month.
Borne Corni Advice.
(Progressive Fanner.)
1. Start the year like a business
man. Take an Inventory of your
property, and begin an accurate ac
count of receipts and expenses.
2. See that all 1909 debts are
promptly cleared off. There was
never a better time to get even with
the world and then stay so.
3. No land should be bare In win
ter, but If any ls without cover crops,'
plow in readiness for spring planting.
4. See that all stock and poultry
are properly sheltered. Shelter is
cheaper than feed.
f.. Plan to grow more productive
'niietles of all crops and cultivate
with all possible cheap horsepower
j instead ot expensive hand labor. ,
G. Set about getting an Improved
breed of poultry, hogs and cattle this
year.
7. Clean up the sprouts and brush
and lill up the gullies that separate
your patches and unite them in great
broad, evenly cultivated fields.
8. Don't go crazy about the old
line "money crops." There ls money
in corn and hay and cattle ns well as
in colton.
9. Drain (hat wet place on your
farm. It will probably be the most
fertile spot you have.
10. Map out a scheme for your
whole farm, Indicating the crops to
go in each held, all arranged with
due regard to the value of rotation.
11. Keep In health by using warm
clothing, fresh air Iii sleeping rooms,
moderation In eating, and prompt p.t~
tent lon to colds.
12. See your county school super
intendent nnd co-operate with him In
organizing boys' corn clubs lu your
county.
