SOUTH CAROLINA'S RANK IN THE SOUTH. . So Stands at the Head in Many Respects Offers Strong Inducements to In vestors and Homeseekers. St South Carolina stands first among to the Southern States in. the production te( of cotton manufactured product, cap- Ijo tal invested in cotton manufacturing lai nd spindles. This state is producing es' 108,000 worth of gold annually, sel -s fourth in the manufacture of thi ercial fertilizers, with $3,637, h of the product; stands fifth g industry, and fifth in ti of hosiery, while the by rn(duetion, amounts, an .dvz heavy competition, re Y r] than half a million dollars. TLow have 205 lumber mills, turn- do ing out nearly 470,000,000 feet annu ally. The cotton. manufacturers have entered upon the reduction of the hours of labor to 60 per week, and much weare work, looking to the ta moral and intellectual interests of o the operatives, has been undertaken. sh The conditions as to child and female co labor have improved considerably this fo year. al South Carolina's resources are more th varied, perhaps, than those of any fe state in the Union. Some crop can be produced all the year. The advanta- fri ges offered the health-seeker, the an home-seeker, the agriculturist, the th lumberman, the orchardist, the truck re farmer, the mechanic, the dairyman, en the stock raiser, the manufacturer, re the miner and the tourist are almost wc limitless. pe ' Invitation to Homeseekers. The State of South, Carolina offers' advantages of soil and climate un equaled in this country. The marvel- th ous development of the manufactur ing interests since 1884, which has A <-one to such an extent that this state vi today stands second in the manufac- ea ture of cotton goods, has resulted in a withdrawing from the fertile fields en thousands of tenant and small white farmers. This being true, the State cit has now determined to restore her he agricultural prestige to the imperial ho position it occupied~ a half century ca ago, and is issuing an invitation to an e good people of this and other Sa untries tIo come in and reap the rvest that awaits them with the ex cise of only moderate industry and : onomy. Fa This state has over 13,000,00 acres Ju of available lands, capable of the highest development, agriculturally, in lands that are offered the thrifty lit home-seeker at moderate figures; sta and the state government, through Fr the department of agriculture, corn- tic merce and immigration, at Columbia, me without fee, endeavors to aid all set- in tIers to successfully establish them- in selves. The state is now building up in the trucking industry, South 'Carolina Fr - being, uwith rare railroad fa.eilities in and refrigerator car service, almost 19 in the suburbs of the' great markets to of the East. Bc Farms, suitable for the raising of Fr any crop, can be had at reasonable, in prices and on easy terms. 10 For diversity, quantity and quality we of products the Southern States are As unsurpassed.

He also, said there W as not the least doubt in his mind sec that as soon as the station was corn- yi( *pleted some large steamship lines bu would make arrangements to enter da the port of Charlestun. Already one pr< big line, he said had signified its in- fr< tention of making 'Charleston a re- 30, gular port of entry after the comple- ter tion of the station, provided sufficient 'return cargoes of freight could be -secured, and this he thinks, may be followed by still others in the near tu future.

Louis Globe-Democrat. Uncle Sam is becoming careful as those to whom he extends his pro tion. American citizens who so irn abroad must, under the new v, appear once- a year at the near ; ,awsulate and tell all about them ves, or forfeit right of appeal to e old flag when in trouble. This is a "Governmental espion e" that would not be tolerated by a folks at home, but is approved them for their far-faring brothers d sisters. We can get Government >orts of our travellers, and know tere they are and what they are ing. It will save a deal of letter iting, and enable us to mail our Is to the correct address. And it will have numerous advan ;es for the traveller who is not a jr-flusher. The family that we rewdly suspect to have retired to a ntry resort to take on "an air of reign travel" from the close perus of guide books, can prove to us it it has really been abroad by re .ring to the Government reports. Still there are those-some of them )m .St. Louis-who , live abroad, d who will not want to tell why y do. They will not wish to sur ider the rights of American citiz ship, but they will not want to be ,orded in all their activities. It 4uld be 'embarrassing. These will rhaps object to the new law as ;yranny. Perhaps they will resolve to ex triate themselves and refuse to reg er with Uncle Sam? And doubtles's it is one of the ends uncle had in nd when he passed the law. Good ericans will not object to its pro ions and those not good we do not re for. They are "undesirable citiz Anyway, what does an American izen want to go abroad for whil'e has such a wealth of sightseeing at me? He should stay here, unless he a give very good reasons for going; d it is that proposition that Uncle m submits to him. Developing Dairy Cows. Prof. A. M. Soule in Southern .rm Magazine of Baltimore for Some of the results accomplished the development of dairy cows are te short of incredible. For in ee, Belle .Sarcastie, a Holstein esian, yielded iii a single lacta n period as high as 81.9 pounds of Lak- per day, 554.7 pounds of milk a week, 21,075.8 pounds of milk a year and 632.7S pounds of fat a year. Houwtje, another' Holstein iesian, yielded 93 pounds of milk a day, 62S.2 pounds in a week and 02 pounds in a year, equivalent 660.14 pourids of butter fat. Rosa nheur, another- famous Holstein iesian, gave 106.75 pounds of milk aday, 726.23 pounds in a week and 033.5 pounds in a year. These cows, re the property of the Michigan' ~rieultural Experiment Station, and ile the milk was not rich in fat, yields of both milk and butter re, indeed, remarkable." The Hol ~in-Friesian, Shadybrook Gerben, ampion in butter fat yielded at the orld 's Fair at St. Louis in 1904, ye 8101.7 pounds of milk contain 3.5 per cent of butter fat, or D~.36 p@unds of butter in 120 days. Y highest daily record was 80.0 unds of 4 per cent milk, and in ren days she made 27.11 pounds of tter. Records, however, are not afined to any one breed. For ex ple, the Jersey cow, Figgis, though years of age, was grand champion her breed at the St. Louis World's ir. She has a butter test of 19 ands and' 15 ounces and 329 unds and 4 ounces of milk in seven ys, and has given in one day 50.7 unds of milk, or 91S1.7 pounds in months, which, according to the licock test, would have made 347.6 ands of butter. Here was a cowga ble of giving practically her body ight in butter in the course of a ir. Is it not marvelous that an ani I should be capable of doing this? den one considers that the average ub cow in the country does not ld more than 65 to 100 pounds of tter, it is not surprising that irying is often considered an un fitable business. It is a far cry >m 1000 to 2000 pounds of milk to 000 and from 65 pounds of but fat up to 660 pounds.
