The opinion that the period of
Senator Tillman's usefulness in
the senate has passed is general
throughout the state, but he
occasionally makes a move that
is more effective than the efforts
of many of his younger colleagues.
When he speaks the
others give attention. The building
of more and larger battleships
for our navy has been
under discussion. Tillman
shows he is not crazy by taking
the stand that it is better to wait
and see what effect the war may
have on the construction of ships
iui cnctuvc ll^UUUg.
The Washington Ileraki says:
Senator Tillman's plan to suspend
the construction of warships
until the close of the war
is full of wisdom. If his advice
* is followed, there will he fewer
archaic monstrosities afloat to
contribute to the absurdity of
Uncle Sam's inefficient naval
armament. Six months of the
jjivscm war nave served 10 mod
ify existing naval theories very
materially. Better wait, gentle
? men, until the vaunted Dreadnought
either does or doesn't.
It cost the people of the state
about $60,000 to pass the acreage
reduction act at the special ses
sion of the legislature last fall.
Now the regular session has voted
to repeal it. The governor
s^\>s he will sign the bill, and so
it is certain that the restrictions
as to the number of acres of cot^^^tonjtman
may plant will be rebo.4
the following to sav:
,4i will sign the bill repealing
cotton acreage reduction. I
make this statement in order
that our farmers may know
definitely what to expect and to
be able to pitch their crops and
iiiatve uieir arrangements tor tlie
season. This action of the
legislature relieves me of the
effort to enrorce a law for which
no provision was made for its
enforcement, and it would seem
an injustice to the small farmers
to require such reduction by
legal enactment when no other
state in the cotton raising belt
required it. Material and heavy
reduction in South Carolina's
cotton acreage will be automatic
by reason of the heavy losses
incurred on last year's crop, and
the depression in business resulttherefrom.
"I trust that the lesson of disaster
from a single money crop
will be lasting and that in diversification
of crops, cattle and i
stock raising, our farmers will
prepare for the condition that
will be upon us in a few years
from the approach of the boll
weevil. The time is upon us
when we must meet this situation.
I hope that a campaign of
education on this subject will
awaken our people to the necessity
of solving our marketing
problems, so that efforts tn #ti
versity our crops will not be
abortive or brine: less to those
who try it. Raise home supplies
and provide a sane plan for selling
surplus crops and stock Reduced
the use of fertilizers bv
winter cover crops and stock.
"We must raise cotton more
economically?the largest item
of expense is the fertilizer bill,
and yet reduction of the fertilizer
bill should he hv reducing
acreage in cotton rather than in
curtailing the amount of fertiliz
J
ci useu per acre."
An election for voting bonds
to build roads should be held in
February.
A bill has passed the house of
representativeTln the state legislature
to eliminate all constables
in Chesterfield county and give
the work to the rural policemen.
The number of policemen would
be increased so that one would
serve about two townships. It
is claimed that about $1,800
could be saved annually by this
method.
The newly elected magistrates
went to Chesterfield Monday to
file their bonds. Each had appointed
his constable, and there
was a storm of opposition when
it was learned that an effort was
UC-UI-J4 maue 10 get tne Dill
through the senate and thus
knock several men out of the
jobs they had expected. Senator
Lancy and both representatives
were thefe. Some of the
opponents of the bill got warm
under the collar and thought
and said just a few things.
The bill was scheduled to
come up in the senate yesterday,
but Senator Laney promised to
have it continued until today.
The new magistrates and wouldbe
constables went home and
started something. Letters and
petitions from all parts of the
county were sent in to Mr.
Laney, yesterday, urging him to
kill the bill when it comes up in
the senate.
It was charged that R. prcson
tative Rivers was the originator
of the bill, and nersonnl motive
were ascribed.
This writer has not seen a
copv of the biii and i-? not in
formed at this time s llicienlh
to express ail opinion. However,
we would be slow to
charge wrong motives <yi the
part of the advocates of the bill.
They may have erred in judge
ment, or they may have thought
out a plan to give as good service
to the people at a smaller
cost. When we have seen the
bill we shall probably say what
we think of its provisions.

CHURCH NOTES
BAPTIST, J. M. Sullivan. Pastor.
Take out of our sayings and
writings all the mistakes and
misunderstandings, and you will
have taken out about 80 per
cent of the troubles that arise
between us poor mortals.
Especially would we refer to
the latter misunderstandings. It
crucified our Lord and has hurt
I lis cause many times since.
We were glad we decided to
give last Sunday to Pageland
and White Plains. Good congregations
greeted us at both of
these services. We were especially
delighted with the B. Y. P. U.
program at White Plains. The
young people are bringing things
to pass in their part of the work.
It affords us a great deal of
pleasure and delight to see so
momr .1-.
w.unj Kn uit-sc young men and
women devoted to the Lord's
work. We truly hope this
Union will be represented in the
state meeting at Darlington Feb.
23-25 inclusive.
The Darlington First church
under the leadership of the saintly
Dr. Lide will make this one
of, if not the best in the history
of our voung people's work.
The only expense to the delegates
will be the railroad fare.
Next Saturday White Plains
2:30 p. m. and Sunday 11 a. m.
