Entered at the Post:oac.i.e at Mannin- a. s-v ond! Qamat'Ab. p Governor Ansel went into the e executive office in 1907 and went I out in 1911. With him it was a I sort of crap game-7 come 11. b It appears to be settled now that in the census matter Green- J vile beat Spartanburg to the e fourth position. It seems that the rule in Ken- v tucky is to shoot white men s straight and to lynch the niggers. v How does the census of Kentucky f stand now? a a Many ftriends throughout South Carolina regret to learn of the t death of Mr. Chas. A. Calvo, Sr., who died in New York last Satur- s dar. Mr.Calvowaswidelyknown and highly esteemed in this State. haviug been the founder and C publisher of the Columbia Regis- t ter and State Printer for a num ber of years. He was a native of Charleston, where he was born c about 63 years ago, but had lived t the greater part of his life in ' Columbia. For several years past 2 he had been engaged in maga zine work in New York. Mr. e Calvo is survived by his wife and ten children. May be rest in f peace. It is said that the lawyers do t not approve the adoption of the Torrens system of land registra tion. The very object of the system, as we understand it. is f to obviate the necessity of search- t ing titles every time that land is c sold or a loan is sought on real I estate security. Under the Tor rens system land titles would be as negotiable as bank stock. If a the lawyers, or any lawyer, op- t pos the system it must be on a t very narrow,selfsh ground-that c it would deprive them of fees fort searching titles. The allegation e is surely not correct, for lawyersi as aclass are men of good sense. The Egyptian and Turkish a governments are making care-d fully planned preparations toli raise more and better cotton in Is those countries. The time is ec not far distant when the cotton p~ producers of the South will have t: competion that will reduce ma- p terially our world monopoly of a world necessity. Better farm :ng and better preparation of a the product for market will be b inevitably demanded before s another generation passes. The d agricultural colleges, experi- a ment st 'ons and demonstration 2 work wid hare plenty to do to v raise our standard of agriculture. p It is well that many boys are '1 now taking to the work with v enthusiasm.a A great deai of attention has 2 been attracted in the pubhic prints a by Representative Harvey WV. TI Mitchum's bill to limit the in- :1 come of Clemnson College from 'u the fertilizer tag tax to $1 75, 000. u a year and todistribute the bal- u~ ance of that fund for the beettt of the common schools. This is le not a bad idea. but a better one a wdunld be to limit Clemson to b $150,000 and give thle balance of y the growing tag tax to a special ti fund to enable us to catch up with the year's arrearage and put the State's business on a cash basis. It is not good business to liter ally throw money at Clemson j& College and borrow money every year to pay the interest on the :r State debt It is a pity we can't get aset of State officers ar: ~hU legislature capable of running our State affairs as sanely as the officials and directors run a sound j banking or manufacturing con cern, but political claptrap is the bane of South Carolina and will probably continue so for a great while to come. Mr. Isaac Ridgway, a citizen of New Jersey who has r.ecentlyI been spending some tim4e at Florence, has become enthus.ed with Jerry Moore and his, prze acre of corn. He writes to the Columbia State that Jerry has' aj sold some of his corn but still has about 10,0M0 pounds~ en" hand, and he mak-es the sugz- .A gestion that this corn be put up in one pound packages and offered to any boy in the U-nited -r States that grrows the most corn from one of these pounds on four square rods of land. .Jerry ! Moore to have the pr-ofits oft th.: transaction. That is a capital suggestion and we hope Collier's . Weekly will take it up and pushi it to success. Mr. liid::v offers to take four pounds for - hii' four grandsons. a::d d'i:h i t les~ there are thousanids mor. who would gladly tolov: his Tr example. It wouid be, apeit blxnvestmnent to a rous,- thl. ambition of ten thousand boys to emulate Jerry Moore's exam-, pie, and it would be a glorious privilege to thus assist in mak ing Jerry Moore an independent; farmer. Le L nit d States Supreme ourt ha.s turned down a honi de case from this state ap aled on technical grounds. ic dismissal being on the round that th1e urt w:s with ise was that of Pink -':1nklil. >iored, from runbr: andi Sl ras -. hiit \ :.v. v.i hite, of Laurens. who was 7ied on a charge of murder at ,reenwood after a change of enue, convicted of mnanslangh r. and sentenced to se-rve eig1t Cars in the nenitentiary.
