PRES. FENGEY TO FARMERS. Pleads for Justice for the Railroads. -Equal Justice.-Hopeful of Future. Salisbury, N. C., November 17. In an address at a meeting of farm ers in Salisbury to-day President Finley, of the Southern Railway Company, took a very optimistic -view of the future of agriculture in the Southern States. He began by saying: - "No one can look forward into the future with greater confidence than can .the farmer, and in my opinion there is no area of equal extent in the world Where the agricultural out look is better than in our Southern States." tHe directed attention to the de pendence of all the. peoples of the earth upon the farmer for food and elothing, tracing the causes of pe riods of low prices for farm products in the Nineteenth Century in large measure to the opening up of ex tensive areas to agriculture and ex pressing the belief that sudh relative ly rapid increases in the supply of farm products in the future were not probable. Showing by comparative statistics the rate at which the de mand for cotton goods is increasing, he expressed the belief that "we may 'look forward to a time in the not iistant future when the world will sall on the American cotton planters for 20,000,000 bales annually," while at the same time, there would be an inereased demand, at home and abroad, for cotton seed product. Yet sotton to the neglect of other crops, but advised that the increased pro duction needed to keep pace with the demand of 'the world should be se eured by more intensive cultivation and by the growing of o6lher erops with cotton. Speaking from the viewpoint of one in touch with the relations of supply and demand affecting differ ent commodities in the United States and in foreign countries, Mr. Finley, with a view to making suggestions of practical value, emphasized the op portunities in the South for the pro duction of grains, hay, fruits, vege tables, live-stock, poultry and dairy products, giving special attention t6 the market opportunities for South ern grown cabbages, Irish pota:toes, and sweet potatoes. He showed that farmers 'in some localities in the South~ were shipping these produets both to Northern and to Southern markets and were finding the busi ness so profitable as to warran,t in creased production. Referring to the dependence of ag rieultu-ral prosperity on supply and demand, he pointed out that "tihe condition most favorable to the farm er is one in which wide-spread pros perity prevails in our own and other lands,'' and that ability to reach a Stops Lameness Much of the chronic lameness in horses is due to neglect. See that your horse is not al lowed to go lame. Keep Slo-m's Liniment on hand and apply at the first sign of stiffness. It's wonderfully penetrating -goes right to the spot -relieves the soreness -limbers up the joints and makes the muscles elastic and pliant. Mr. G. T. Roberts of Resaca, Ga., R.F.D. No. z, Box 43, writes: -" I have used your Liniment on a horse for swee ney and effected a thorough cure. I al so removed a spavin on a mule. This spavin was as large as a guinea egg. In my estimnation the best remedy for lame ness and soreness is S1o an's Mr. H. M. Gibbs. of Lawrence, Kans., R.F.D. No. 3, writes:-"Your Lini ment is the best that I have ever used. I had a mare with an abscess on her neck and one Soc. l?ttle of Sloan's Liniment entirely cured her. I keep it around all the time for galls and small swellings and for everything about the stock."

Sloan, Bs+on wrece T. S. A. market was equally as impor*aLt a: the existence of the market. The farmer, therefore, had a vital inter est in the highways from his fan yard'.to the markets of the world After referring to the importance od good country highways, Mr. Finle3 pointed out that the interest of th( farmer in good roads extended be yond the wagon road from his fan to an industrial or shipping center and embraced all the railways ani waterways over whidh his product! moved to reach'the final consumer. Pointing out that adequate trans pontation facilites were essential t< increased production and that th( present railway facilities of th( South were now little more than suf ficient for meeting present demands and were relatively less than those oJ some other parts of the country, Mr Finley said: "It is manife4tly to the interesi of this section that the railways, a.; instrumentaltes of itransportaton should be built up and strengthened Even a superficial glance at those sec tions which are most prospprous wil demonstrate that their prosperity i largely based upon the perfection o) their transportation facilities. Those producing communities which have the easiest, quickest and most reli able ways to market can sell quicke and more certainly, and thus possesz connercial alvantages over commu nities less favored with means ol transportation. "It is, therefore, short-sighted ir any community to permit any othei section, by a larger, more stable, 0 more conservative policy, to stimu late and encourage, to a greater ex tent than it itself does, the develop ment of transportation facilities. Tc the extent that any community per mits this, it surrenders to its rival the commercial advantage which differ. entiates the growing and prosperous from the laggard and stagnant com munity. In view of these general considera tions, which are universally accept ed as sound by thoughtful men, it be comes important to inquire what ihe public in any locality can do to pro mote this important interest. "The fundamental thing to accom plish is to make the investment in transportation facilities in that local ity atractive to the honest investor "It is in no way difficult to deter mine whait will do this. All any sens ible man has to do is to inquire of himself 'what would make an invest ment for his savings attractive tc him, and he may rest assured thai the considerations which would in duce him to invest his savings are of the same general nature, and are based upon the same principles of human action, as those which influ ence and control other people. "In the first place, he would ask~ himself whether the proposed invest ment is safe, and "Second, whether it would bring in as large a return as any other in vestment that might be open to him as an alternative. "If he could answer both of these questions in the affirmative, he would not hesitate to make the investment. If, however, he should conclude ei ther that the investment is unsafe, or that he could not rely upon as good return from it as from some otheri investment, t'he prudent inan would not venture to make it. "It is apparent, therefore, thai ~those communities which want their transportation to be gradually im proved and perfected, must find some means of convi'neing the investor that his investment in that community will be safe and that i3t will bring hin in as good returns as an investmeni in any other line of business. " This is also t'he thing in regard t< whieh the railway manager, who needs funds to develop his system, is al: the time trying to convince investors To aid in this is equally the interesi and the* duty of the pu.blic whiel wants and needs increased and im proved transportation facilities. "-In order to make the investor be lieve t'hat, his investment is safe ir any community, it is .necessary t< eonvince him -that it is protected b3 a conservatve and just. public opin ion. "Hle c-aiot feei satisfied if on< measure of justice is, in that com. munity, byV juries in litigated eases meted out to an ir'dividual litigan and a differenm and smaller measur of justice is meted out to the .corpor ation .in which it is sought to indue' him to become an investor. It is rherefore, not only right, but it ia wise, in any communuity, to insis through the medium of an enlighten ed and unyielding public sentiment that there shall be but one measur< of just.iee for all litig~ants, and tha railway companies and individua litiants shall be treated exactl; ai-ini othe;r wrds, that ther< shall e equl justce toall, adn an.

C. convention in Houston, Oc- r tober 19-23, were written for the v Stote by a South Carolinian who at- e tended the convention: As always happens, when the year t comes around for the election of a ' new president general, the principal s interest of the convention seems to ( centre in that until the election is y over. This year when there were s only two candidates, the friends of r both put forth the most strenuous ef- s forts. Mrs. MeSherry, the success- t ful candidate, is a woman of strong B personality, backed by years of ex- f perience in both general and State f U. D. C. She is one of the four t Faulkner sisters of Virginia, all of t whom have made their influence felt t in their native State, and is a sister i of Congressman Faulkner anj Sena tor Faulkner of Wqst Virgiffia. No - "Daughter" need feel anything but i confidence in the success of the or- a ganization for the next two years, 3 with Mrs. McSherry at the helm. N The. South Carolina division was 1 honored in -having its president, Mrs. r Wright, unanimously elected second t vice president general, but since it is Y unconstitutional for a division pres- s ident to hold an office in the general organization Mrs. Wright declined f the honor. One of the most important actions I of the convention was the repeal of the resolution bestowing crosses of honor on descendants of veterans. This rule 'had been in effect a year and during that time only 459 de secendants throughout the entire country had applied for these cross es. When one of the women who had been most instrumental in its begin ning, in an impressive speech stress ed the idea that the cross of honor had been intended solely to honor the living, while memorials of many kinds 'honored the dead, she struck a responsive chord, and the action was unanimous. For several years the conventions made the mistake of appropriating too much money, leaving the treas ury each year in a depleted condition. f For two years'past this has been remedied by making no appropria tions, and under the skilful manage ment of the treasurer general, Mrs. Williams of -Kentucky, funds have accumulated. One thousand dollars was appropriatpd to Shiloh and 'Ar- I lington eac'h, while there were sev eral smaller appropriations. Within two years the Shiloh com mittee has raised about $6,000, while ,Arlington has to its credit over $15, 000. * -Another distinct honor to South Carolina was the selection of Mrs. T. W. Keitt of Clemson College, as one of a committee of seven, composed of men and women, having in charge the ] selection of a design, etc., for the Confederate m,onument in Arlington cemetery. - HILDR Ber - 'OES Go, . j HE Foot ailmen 'V continue after .t uini ss they are corre prof er sort of Shoes.

South Carolina and her supporters vorked very hard for the amendment roposed by Mrs. Keitt, eliminating 11 collaterals from membership be ond nieces of the first degree, but it vas impossible to get these amend ents before the house until mid tight of the -last night of the conven ion. The delegates and officers were vorn out and this amendment, with ome other very important measures vas tabled. The sentiment in its avor has grown since last year very auch, and there is every reason to ielieve that next year it will go hrough.
