W FAii}ll\<.. | "Mr. K. M. Evans to Cultivate Sixty Acres of Land with One Hand / and Labor-saving Cultivator. ( V This year Mr. E. M. Evans intends yto make a practical demonstration of \iodern farming. With the aid of nJtodern, labor saving farm machine^ he intends to have one wages hand\}tt his farm near town cultivate sixty aoi^es of land. With the excep ?- j-i~ : ~ nrill r\r\ tion of hP^ng, iuis uuc liauLvi tuti uv the entire\work on the sixty acres, consisting o\ forty acres of corn and twenty acres cotton. j When it is rejected that from twen-! tv-five to thirty 'acres is the average . -size of a one-horse farm, it will | readily be seen that Mr. Evans will be P introducing a brand new method in I I modern agriculture. He has long ' ' been an earnest advocate of using labor saving implements on the farm, and has used them for some years himself to gre^t advantage. He has now become quite enthusiastic over the merits of the cultivator, and a cultivator v ill be the principal implement to b? used on his demonstration crop this year. The farmers of New-; invited hv Mr. i Perry **?? j Evans to visit his farm this summer and p?e for themselves how he will l^kacco aplish the feat of having one man ^invate sixty acres of Newberry VDDRESS TO STAPLE GROWERS. i rMr. S. 5T. Dunan >Vrites of the Grow- ! ing- of Long Staple Cotton in >ewberrv County. __ To the growers of long staple cot-' ton in Newberry county 1 wish to say, j from observation, and close study,; I that 1 believe as long as we grow so jnany lengths of staple we will find it very uncertain as to the price, and the price is what makes it profitable. 1 We should not censure the cotton buyer, for he is in it too, for profit,: ,A " v.i_ ViQoltVi onH ana 1101 auogeiuei jlui ms ucu^u our benefit. You seen not to understand why, .some one else gets 18 cents or more j and you only 15 nents or 16 cents or \ less. I find that Coker, Hartsviile, Kee nan, ColumDitn, time *uuuuu, ouu-j flower, Webber, Gist, Purcell, and a great many know nothing of at all on- \ ly I get it from Mr. So and So. In 1911 the U. S. department of agri- ! culture undertook to aid the farmers in growing and handling staple cot J " ? "AA ton in communities wiieie ouy ui acres were grown. Some counties were aided bv their supervision, others no doubt were in the same condition as Newberry. 1 believe that by growing one staple we could make it profitable by cooperation in selling, as we could get buyers from mills using the 1-ength rbut ws raise, hut as it is 110W, they do not care to buy even ill lots, when , one half or more they cannot use, and v .have to be sold again to mills that can use it. Again, staple cotton in dry years r makes irregular length, and evenness of staple is very important. The piney woods section of the county in 1912 seems to have suited long staple. Mr. John P. Mills grew on his demonstration acre 2464 lbs. of Coker and realized $127.05 for the jj.au Others made good yields but did not set prices expected. I have grown it ' at different times for several years, sold from 10 3-4 to 20 cents per pound. Some years I thought it paid, Dut others I knew it did not. The same experience as to profit and loss, on shnrt staDle. but vou do not get your expectations so high on short staple ^ prices, and the buyer doesn't make any difference in our favor as to length. Fellow farmers, we have broken k-ers and the mills raising cotton, , now let's char.ge our program, and raise something to eat, before we perish ourselves and others, in a county where we have grown mor xnan two uaies oj. euuuu pci atic, more than 40 bush-els of wheat and 140 bushels of corn.

Baker Senate's Clerk. 1 Washington, March 10.?James M. Baker of South Carolina, assistant librarian of the senate and a veteran employe of the capitol, known among his friends here as "Jim" Baker, was today chosen for secretary of the sen- ' ate~by the democratic caucus. Mr. Baker was supported by Senator TillI man and Senator Smith and was nominated on the second ballot. The fact that he is the choice of the caucus insures his election when the senate organizes. The caucus was in session for more than three hours and a number of nomination speeches, were made. 1 - * - *11 1 r? Ttie candidates mciucca .josepn i\. "Wilson, brother of the president; j Robert M. Gates of Tennessee and Charles W. Keller of New York city., Mr. Baker was born in 1861 at Lowndesville. He was educated at Wofford college and studied law in New York city. In 1885 he received the appointment of official stenographer for the fifth judicial curcuit court, but declined. He became assistant librarian of the United States senate in 1893, in which position he has served continuously until the present. He was twice designated by the democratic caucus as the representative of the minority in his pres- ( sent position. Mr. Baker has attended, in an official capacity, all democratic national conventions for 20 years, and in all that time has constantly borne the relation of a confidential assistant to democratic senators and to the various chairmen of the democratic' minority in the senate. Through his long experience he has come to be known as an expert in mottarc reintinjr tn legislative history,: procedure and research. He would thus appear to come to his new duti'^s with unusual knowledge and promise of usefulnes to the senate. His appointment is very acceptable to h?"s' friends in Washington and elsewhere.

The newspapers tell us of a boy who in Georgia a j few days ago killed his little broth- j er with a gun that he supposed to be i unoaded and here is an account of| the most distressing affair: '*A most snocKing irageay uccuired late Thursday afternoon about! i five miles from Elloree, when young; M. Boney Connor, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Lee B. Connor was accid-: entallv killed while out hunting. The sad accident occurred several hundred vards in the rear of the Connor I home Young Connor, was standing on a log with the butt of his gun resting on the log, and the gun slip-1 ped from the log, and the gunslip- ; ped from the log, the hammer strik-, ing the log and exploding, the entire : lovd taking effect in the chest of young Connor who died about half hour .afterward. There were several nf fho riwith him tumpauiuiia ui vuv v^.w ?? .. when the accident occurred and the' father was summoned, reaching his \ son just a few minutes before he ex-! pired Boney Connor was a handsome; and bright boy. He was very popular among his comrades and the idol of his parents, who are prostrated over the accident. He was about sixteen years of age." And yet we see boys every day in j knee pants with a gun and an old dog j following them going hunting. They| evidently feel their importance judg-1 in^ from the way they swagger along! the highways, but there is great dan-j ger that some poor mother's heart' may be broken almost any day by one. What parents mean by allowing their boys to have guns is beyond the comprehension of observant people. j _ i i A Genuine Service.
