Certainly the capabilities of South Carolina are great.- Upon every occasion when a prize has been offered for the largest yield of corn upon an acre, in any state in the Union, South Caro- Mna has won it. The first prize w T as won about 1838, when 248 bushels per acre were made in Columbia; the second in 1893 when 235 bushels were raised in Marlboro county; and now, fpr the third time, the prize has been won by Mr. A. J. Kendall of Clarendon county who raised 182 bushels on one acre of his farm, the decision being ren dered and the prize awarded by an international commission sit ting at Springfield, Mass. This is a very remarkable rec ord, which shows what can be accomplished with intensive cul tivation Senator Toole s bill to estab- r.sn a system of rural police in the state is a good one in princi ple, but the details require to be very carefully arranged to make the system of much value. Around such cities as Charles ton, Augusta, Atlanta, etc., the rural policemen have been found very useful in suppressing law lessness, and catching law-break ers; and there are sections of Aiken county where such police men might be of much service. In favoring the enactment of such a law the Charleston Even ing Post says: "A mounted patrol of the rural districts of the state would go far toward control of the lawless element which gives terror to wo men and whose acts are. the cause of reprisals that disgrace our civilization. The knowledge that a police officer was riding the country and might appear at any moment in unlooked for places would deter ugly negroes from the crimes that are now so frequently and freely committed and would give a feeling of secur ity to the people living in the re mote districts which they cannot now have. The rural police sys tem has been tried with excel lent effect in some countries and in our state years ago there was something resembling it which worked admirably.” Representative J. E. Harley, of Barnwell,has introduced a bill j the effect of which maybe to put! a quietus on the latest efforts to! establish a new county, with North Augusta as the county seat. The bill is as follows: A bill in relation to the estab- lishment of new counties. Be it enacted by the General! same thing has passed the House 78 Assembly of the State of South 3 " Carolina: Section 1. That hereafter the General Assembly shall estnb- through easily with their nei essary two thirds votes. In joint assembly, after going through the formality of re-electing Senator Tillman, the election of a suc cessor to Judge R. (). Purdy as judge of the third circuit, was entered into. Representative T. B. Fraser, of Sum ter and member of the old dispensary committee, and Solicitor John S. Wil son were n -minated. Mr. Wi son was elected by a vote of 84 to 76. Capt. D, J. Griffith was re-elected county superintendent of the i eniten- tiary without opposition. Messrs. A K. Sanders, of Sumter, John G. Mobley, of Fairfield and Jas per W. Smith, of Colleton, were elect ed penitentiary directors. Mr. Croft’s bill to apply a t-art of the dispensary profits of the towns and cities in the county of Aiken to the county general road fund, was passed to its third reading. What is bt-lieved to be the death knell of the South < arolina state dis pensary system was rung in the senate upon the introduction of the resolu tion of Senator Smith to abolish the sys tem entirely, and, no sooner had it been called up that Senator Williams moved to . mend the original resolu tion so as to have the judiciary com mittee draft a bill abolishing the state system, and bri« g in a bill providing for local option. Immediately it was to be seen that the fight was on, and Senator Blease offered amotion to table the resolution, which was put to a vote and lost by 20 to 17. Mr. Toole’s ten-hour labor bill was favorably reported to the senate but Senator Weston’s bill, providing for the creation of the - flice of labor com missioner. was unfavorably reported. The house spent practically all of its session debating the bill of Mr. Rich ards to to repeal that portion of the lien law w-hich provides for croppers making liens to merchants for supplies. The friends of the bill took the position that a repeal was necessary in order to relieve the unsatisfactory condition as to negro labor on the farms. With the Richards bill passed the cropper is in the hands of the landlord, a lien to an other being void except on a written waiver by the landlord, but the bill went to its third reading by a vote of 78 to 82. Mr. Cosgrove’s bill to improve the sanitary conditions of the state, the general drainage bill, was taken up. He lead statistics to show the number of unimproved acres in Beaufort, Charleston, Berkeley, Georgetown, Hampton, Horry, Marion, and Will iamsburg. These lands, he said, were not inhabited by whites on account of malaria, which is transmitted by the mosquito. The mosquito breeds only- in stagnant water and when these lands are drained the danger of ma laria is removed, lie showed how this theory had b rt en proved by the drain age work in Charleston county. A second reason for .he bill was that the federal goverment hud undertaken to provide s rvejs f »r this work. The plan proposed does not com cel any county to go into the work, but only upon ihe tequest ot the delegation from each county. It is a local option plan entirely. The senate passed a bill providing for the abolishment of bucket shops in South Carolina. The same bill passed the house last year, but was killed in the senate The vote was more than two to one in favor of the bill The Senate also took a stand on an other highly important matter. It uoted 19 to 16 to kill the Crouch bill providing for the repeal of the lien law although the Richards bill seeking the to Aiken County Auditor’s Office Aiken, S C , Dec 1, 1906 For further information address the principal or D.

Richard Car- roll, colored, made some very sensible remarks. Among other things he said : •‘We want an easy time 'ihe white people built the cities and founded em pires and they are going to rule them. We cannot expect to move into a white man’s town, after he lays off its streets and builds its roads and establishes electric street cars and expect to gov ern. We are too prone to move to the cities. If we wish to rule a communi ty, we must be the makers and build ers of t..at community. The white people call this their country because they have contributed t lost to its civ ilizalion, progress and prosperity. Let us all be thankful for the privileges that are given to us. I believe that as fast as w-e are able and prepared to en joy liberty, liberty w-ill come our way. I must here use much plainness of speecli and hope in this w-ay to effect some go d upon some individual broth er of our race and point out the true condition of affairs in the South. I repeat what I have often said that the South offers 'he best opportunity for the negro to make a living. It is the best section of America for his de velopment along all lines even though many of his liberlies are taken from him. He has otlie liberties and op portunities that far surpass those that are given him in other sections of America. There is no better way to get our salvation than by work, and the colored man has every opportunity tj work out his salvation in the South ; in many places he can talk it out. but is not given the opportunity to work it out. He is give • op onunities in many other sections f the country to spend his money, but no opportunities to make money. The Southern people are complain ing about the shiftlessness and worth lessness of our labor and justly so. Any colored man who is an observer can see the shiftlessness and worth lessness of a large number of the young generation of colored men and women, who are grow-ing up in our Southland Many work only when they are com pelled by the pinch of hunger. Many spend t’ eir time loafing, hunting, camping and living on ea3h other. The negro race is loaded down w-ith a surplus of idlers, men and women, who live on the industrious classes, boys and girls, young men and women, who depend on their parents to support them. When an indi vidua 1 cannot carry his own w-eigi.t and that of his family and then be able to reach out and help the poor, he is not a very use ful citizee. We have too many <*on- sumers and not enough producers among us. Then, again, you eannot depend on much of the labor. They do not stick when they get a job. Very few- will ; you can only depend on | a few. lie is here today and gone to- i morrow. The Southern people must i import labor from Europe or the South I will go backward. The colored labor is j not sufficient for the demand. We must do the work of the South or give place to others. There is no desire on i the part of the Southern white people i to get rid of the negro laborer and sup- | plant him with others. They rather have their work done by colored peo- * pie, which is a peculiar sentiment of j the South. BEST BUILDING MATERIAL.
