Lawyer Catey's Complaints It has -been sometime since I hay wistenr anything for your valuable pi per, and requests have come to me froc .different.sections of the county to writ more frequently, since it. is claimed always start the curs barking wheneve I go on a hunt; you know Mr. Editor, is a peculiar characteristic of a cur te bark, whenever he is hit, but, my tim as a-citizen Is too valuable to waste an; time at chasing curs-it is my purposa to make shots for the public uplift, hai ing.no.Qther purpose than tbat of dole, gqod, since it is a well known fact tha ns ipembher Qf the Cantey family is a pc litical aspirant. . 'Matters around this section have bee: rather of the ordinary during recen days;~the elections have come and gon and the people generally have bee: quite busy with the annual harvest c the crops.,which have been all pratical l-y gathered and bave proved more that usually short, but prices have beei good, and I believe at the end of thi year, the community as a whole wil have gained more than a peg in advanci of last year, and this is something to be happy over. The Summerton school district ha: made an experiment this year by elect ing a -lad.y principal of the school in the person 'of Miss Lida Scarborough, and this is .. it should be, for the reasor that Miss Scarborough is thoroughla competent and is besides one of oui home girls and will of necessity takt mose interest in the educational welfart of the community than some importes foreigner. Summerton has been pecu liarly unfortunate heretofore in the mat ter of male school teachers; being a col lege graduate myself I think I am in position to say, that with the exceptiot of Professor Lanham, who many year: ago had a good school here, the mali school teachers were thoroughly unfi and incompetent. As a matter of fact, Mr. Editor, the entire school system of this State is suf fering of hardening of the arteries ot what medical men are pleased to cal] sclerosis; we are not producing think er.shnr. chilren are taught niemort LS' SHO LIERi MAN as somr ion. WILI TEAR, LERS, LNCY VESTS, :ore for a December. rClos .lessons and are not made to understand the reason of things. Did you ever stop to think, Mr. Editor, that every single college president in this State is a damn e foreigner, having absolutely no interest e in the educational uplift of the masses, and whose Interests are limited and con fined to the taking of fat salaries out of the State r Furthermore, we have as State Super , inrtendent of Education, a blind boy, whose intellectual outlook is exceeding ly narrow and whose educational ad van tages are exceedingly limited; now, I I- have profound sympathy for blind peo s pie, but it has always been true that whenever the blind lead the blind, then both are bound to fall into the ditch. S and the children and pe'ople of South 1 Carolina have been in the ditch quite 4 long 'enough. Then there is poor old fProfessor Hand, an ex-railroad cohduc tor, who goes around the State telling< I the people how to educate, when he too shonld be at his old job of fiting an en- 1 gine. But the worse ill of which all of 1 us are heir to, is the country school trustee, who is entirely ignorant, but < eat the same time knows everything un der the sun, and quite incompetent to a select a competent school teacher. < a The people of Summerton are still< f. dissatistied with their railroad facilities-: r- .we have now a passenger train each Sway per day and in addition thereto a ~i freight train each way per day; the e progressive citizexns of the community S wish to Ikeep what we have and add thereunto another passenger train every y morning from Summerton to Wilson n Mill, in order to give us an outlet to r Manning and Charleston and other poinits every morning; on the eleventh day of September, the railroad commis sion decided that we should have this additional train, but after some invisible influence was brought to bear, the com mission rescinded the order of Septem B ber the eleventh. The butt-meat mer - chants of this community wish to go 2 back to the old mixed train regime. B since they claim a passenger train take~s1 trace to Sumter, but the trouble with < r the butt-meat merchants of this comn-1 t munity is their lack of intelligence-for 3instance, I know a lady who searched a every butt-meat store in this town for some diaper linen for her babies and anone coula be found and consequently -she was compelled to go to Manning or 1 i Sumter. Then there are the hookworm t sufferers of this community who claim - that a passenger train makes them dizzy and they too wish to go back to 3the old mixed system. What the people t of Summerton need, Mr. Editor, is a a hookworm dispensary; I have wrestled 1with the Lord and day by day prayed 1 f unto the God of civilization in behalf of - the people of this community, but they Swill not. SA very interesting action was brought Sand tried before the Mae istrate at this I point sometime ago, and my reason for writing about the case is because it in- E volves a public question. The plaintiff C in the action, a landlord, made advanc- t es to one of his farm hands during the a - year in the sum of one hundred dollars, e but did not reduce his lien for advances to writing; abutt-meatimerchant of thisj t community acquired all the cotton. con sisting of several bales, made by said f farm hand on the lands of the plaintiff; t the butt-meat, merchant had a chattel a mortgage over the crop of said farm t thand; the plaintitf brought an action e -against the butt-meat, merchant for the a -cotton or the value of same; tbe Magis trate decided as usual with the butt- "' meat merchant., to the effect. that a C landlord has not a prior and preferred fi lien for advances made during the year f~ to a tenant or farm hrand- without re- A ducing the lien to writing. Now, Mr. Editor, if this be the law, a which I do not believe, then the farm ers of this State are in a worse condi- r tion than they were before the repeal f1 of the socalled agricultural lien law: itti has alwvays been my opinion that since P71 JSH! iething he c1 ~PPRE HA 4an's Gift Ling SUMT I ~he repeal of section 3O59 of the Code c 1902, commonly known as the lien lawu r~hat a landlord has a lieni for both ren nd advances made during the yea without any writing. Major John G Richards, Railroad Commissioner, whb was the author of the Act of 1909 whicl speaed section 3059 of the Code of 19(2 md who agrees with me that a lanlori inder existing law has a prior lien fo ,dvances made during the year withou my writing,'has addressed a letter te ne upon the subject in the followinj words, to wit: "I was the author of the repeal bill-my nurpose briefly statei was to place the land owners where the; :ould control their labor and wrest tha ~ontrol from the hands of the merchant: -my purpose was also to aid our farm rzs to get upon a eash basis-I did no isturb existing conditions in regard ta armers and landlords lien for supplie >r rent." Now, Mr -Editor, it is up to the mem >ers of the legislature from this countai o look into this matter, and if the 1foresdd decision of the Magistrate is orrecs as a matter of law, then the lay bould be amended and it made a crim< or misdemeanor for a. butt-meat mer. bant to purchase or take a mortgage ver the crops of a farm band, withoul be consent of the farmer or landlord. J. J. CANTEY.' LABOR SAVING arm Implements are Needeo in the South [By G. H. Alford, I H C Service Bureau] The demand of the times is for im~ provement along every line; for build~ ng better roads, better homes, church is and school houses. We desire- bet :er equipment on our farms and in rr homes. The teachers and minis es must have er'ensive educations td hence demand better salaries. [elephones, rural deliveries of mail, Ii raries, etc., are becoming necessities t is the desire of every parent to ed icate the children at colleges or .eced ehools. Apparently the key to agricultural mprovement in the south is more lower and labor-saving farm imple nents on the farm. The averap far'n rorker toils with a small mu'le or orse and his total annual income is ,bout $148.00. In Iowa the averaee arm worker uses nearly four large orses and produces $611.11 annually xclusive of stock. Investigatort show ,much smaller use of power on the outhern farms than in other sections f the country, and, consequ.enty. less se of labor-saving farm impleme nts nd a correspondingly ioV5er earning apacity of the farmers. The power must come first andl then de labor-saving implements.

High-priced labor, makes it impperat tive that more and better farm ipl ments be used. On every farn there -sould be at -least a reversiblejdlsk plow or a large turning plow soi disk harrow, two sections of st tel harrow, combination planter, single row culti vator, grain .drill mower and rake, or a binder and a bay press. The -above are essential, and if the mrens of th~e farmer will allow, many o:.her con vient labor-saving implements, such as a two-row planter, -thresher, -gaso line engine, teed grinder, feed cutter, manure spreader, cream separator and an auto wagon could be added. Yours very truly, . .I H C SERVICE BUREAU. I. FARM CROPS IStable Manu'e Supplies Many Plarit Food Elements and Adds Humus' to the Sol-Calcium Should be Ap plied . Howard Eldridge, Porterville, New York, writes as follows: "I am a far mer living in Erie county, New York. The coil raises very good crops in everything excepting wheat and oats. The average yield of this grain for the past few years has been fifteen or twenty bushels to the acre, as com pared to fifty bushels to an acre a few years ago. How can this land be im proved?" The principal plant food elements are nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium. These are-necessary for the production of crops. If any one of these elements is deficient, it: 'will mean that the crop production will be lessened. Continuous cropping with out rotation, combined with poor cul tivation, Is bound to result in de creased yields. The nitrogen can be replenished byl growing leguminous crops, such - as < clovers, cowpeac, soy beans, vetches, etc. Also, by applying stable manure, or plowing under a legume as a green3 manuring crop. By doing this you not only supply nitrogen to your soil,I but, you improve its physical condition I by adding vegetable matter. Very few soils require potassium. This Is especially so of sandy soils, although if the soil is not in good physical condition, the potassium may not be available, but if you supply the vegetable matter either in the form of t green manure or stable manure, it will tend to make the potassium available. c It may be necessary to supply phos phorus in the form of a commercial fertilizer, which may be done by using h finely ground phosphate rock, provid ing the soil is in the proper physical condition. The phosphate rock will cost you only about half as much and j s contains practically twice as much E nhousas aci epbonnnen.
