SOl'TIIEItf SWEET POTATOES FOR NORTHERN .>1AIlKETS Former South (.rolinian Lomr Time a Resident in New Jersey Sees an Opportunity. The fellowing letter in regard to supplying South Carolina raised sweet ! ] oiatoes to the Northern markets is . I sent to the Columbia State: I | Tne letter of P. H. ^cGowan which ' appeared in your paper of Marc: 30 i relative to the importance ti.:at can : be given to the sweet potato crop by ; Southern farmers is most timely and i should be productive of much good. j | My experience in the North for trie ; last decade or more has impressed one j fact on my mind, namely, that the | sweet potato,' andled by ti':e Southern larmer in the proper way possesses great possibilities. Not only may the South be supplied with this important j article of food, but the North and West; ! as well. Southern farmers have not realized , ti:at t) e Northern centers are largo ! and consume vast quantities of all | sorts of food. Uj> here the people are ' able to buy and do buy?they live well. There is a market for what Southern farmers should know how to grow to advantage, as well as for the output of new industries. For example, the wholesale price of sweet potatoes in tJ is city is $2.75 a bushel. During the winter it was $1.75 a bushel. There are no Southern potatoes on I thp. market: t.hn^e to bp had are "Jer sey." j This high price is not due to a market that is isolated; we art on t!':e main line of tf e Pennsylvania railroad, where freight facilities are excellent. The trouble is with the raisers of the j crop. ! | If the Southern farmers would learn j a lesson in co-operative farming from the Danes, for example they could become tfce most powerful factor in t?he i economic life of t e nation. i j About two decades asc there was an agricultural crisis in Denmark. Rais| ing grain became unprofitable. The i Danish farmer 'became of much con 1 cern to the government and national | aid was thought advisable. But the ! farmers get together and said, "No, ; we do not want tT.at, we can take care ! of ourselves." Out of this determination came Den_ ) mark's prosperity. Agriculture, to a ; great extent, was changed for dairy: ing. T at resolution of self-dependence and the adaptation to new conditions is a bright page in the history of that little country. I It seems that a change is going to | be imperative in the mode of Sout'.i ern farming. Co-operative farming and marketing i is waiting to bring its blessings L'o ; * ' ose who will practice it. The rais! ing of sweet potatoes not only for the jhcir?e market. but for those of the i North and West is one phase of this ! activity that will be easy to make a | success. Everything is favorable to j producing such a crop in the Soutii.' i T e se?son there is long; labor is not j co high as farther North, and the poj ratoes are superior. Invent a way to | get the crop to the consumer at the j proper time and the problem will be | solved. Hence co-operative effort. | One day last summer the writer was I seated at a dinner table at the Win; throp college summer sd' ool with sev-! I 1 T 1 _ I I erai leacuers, among wnorn was a man i from New Jersey. There was a fine i dish of canned sweet potatoes on tfte | table. The remark was ventured that j they came from Vineland, in New Jer-: ! sey. The diners, including the man 1 from New Jersey,.did not think it in tf:e realm of possibility that potatoes would be shipped from New Jersey to South Carolina. It would be like the proverbial taking of coals to New- j castle. However, tfce empty cans were j looked up and, indeed, the potatoes i had been packed is Vineland. Of | course, if none were on the market | but Jersey potatoes, then they were j the only ones to be had. Here is only j j one example of many to illustrate the | same point: "WT.y should not the South : (have been selling potatoes to the North instead of buying them from that section? Again, what an opportunity for those j i living in the lower part of the State j ! j to create an industry in figs! There , j is nothing more delicious than figs ; | canned or preserved, and our Norte- j ! ern neighbors could be induced to buy j j large quantities of them, if some one j j were to go about the business right- [ This finer kind of farming calls for ! j greater intelligence, industry and per- ^ severance man Goes couon raising. . But that is one reason why the change j should "be welcomed. Anything tiiat! brings into use these qualities will, prove a great blessing in more ways j than the financial one. W. E. Breazeale.

I HIjHEST COURT EACKS i INSURANCE CO SliSSIONER JIctfASTEirs Kl'LIMJ IX PHOENIX CASE IS Sl'STAINED I j Federal Supreme ("<Mirt Says Tliat SoutL Carolina Oitieer Exercised j His Lawiill Discretion. t The State. I The United States supreme eourt in' a decision on Tuesday up! <eld the i South Carolina statute providing for the deposit of either $20,000 in securities or a surety company bond in that amount, in ti e discretion of the insurance commissioner. F. H'. -McMaster, insurance commissioner, said that fce was very much gratified with the decision of the court. The State of South Carolina was represented in the case by Attorney General Tl. os. H. Peeples and Assistant Attorney General Fred H. Dominick. The decision by the United States supreme court was rendered in the case of ti:e Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance company against F. H. McMaster, insurance commissioner. The case was argued before the United States supreme court on March 12. The case grew out of t.:e insurance commisioner demanding that the Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance company, of Hartford^ Coain,., deposit tpAV,VVU All OtVUi J.W4VO '.--0 that company to do business in this State for tlbe year beginning April i, 1912. The company tendered a surety company bond and refused to deposit securities. The insurance commissioner refused to issue a license. The company applied to Judge Watts for an injunction and mandamus and ti:e case went up to the State suprema court. The Stc-.te supreme court, oy a decision rendered in March, 1913, upheld .the insurance commissioner. The ca0e was taken from fi'.ie State supreme court to the United States supreme co; rt on an appeal under the 14th amendment to ti e constitution of tf:e United States, the company alleging that ii had been denied fbe equal protec;ion of the law. T e Pho-enix Mutual Life Insurance company sojght to show that the insurance commissioner I ad discrimi* nated in favor of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance company, of Newark, X. J. 'This the insurance commissioner denied and took the position that was acting entirely within the statute in demanding a deposit of securities by the Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance company. The decision of t! e United States supreme court is taken to mean that the ins:1:.1 nee commissioner's position has been sustained. WELCOME FOR PASTOR. Rev. E. Pendleton Jones Begins Work at Kdtrefield. The State. Edgefield, April 5.?The Rev. E. Pendleton Jones, D.

Orlando Sheppard extended an affectionate welcome to t?e new pastor and his family from the Baptist church. The occasion was very beautiful and impressive, reflecting tf:e harmonious and fraternal relations that exist between the several denominations in Edgefield.
