A magazine writer says before
W bitney invented the cotton gin
it took a man two years to sepa- c
rate one bale of cotton from the. c
seed. And still Whitney has a j
place in history as one of the c
greatest benefactors of the age. P

.. . A headline in a recent issue of
the State newspaper referred to
Mr. Taft as a "Monster Mason." j.
No doubt the writer meant ' 'Mas- \
ter Mason," but just the same the
incident proves that there is
something in the association of
ideas. * . t

WASHINGTON LETTER
(far* FrwB Oar Baqr Capital
The Society columns announce
hat Miss Mabel Boardman of
Washington is going to entertain
l large party during the Inauguation.
As Mr. Taft is to be her
ruest the pertinence of the "large
arty" becomes apparent.
i **..
The widespread eulogy oifLlnoln
in the south during the recent
entenary celebration seems to
ustify Charles Narrey's definition
f a "contemporary,"?"a good
erson who would' like yom if you
irere dead.
A Kansas man of ninty six has
ust taken for himself a. wife.
Veil, boys will be boys.
There are 5.000,000 women in
he United States who are earnn?
their own living: and who a*e
ble to dictate the time and the
erm a f their marriage. wJ^ich
troves it stupid to say there is no
roman movement in this country.
The President was almost mobted
at Altoona while on his way to
he Lincoln celebration in Kenuclcy.
..'I was glad to pass
hrough Pennsylvania" he said
n his speach and the people are
Still wondering if he intended to
ye sarcastic.
'Mr. Taft may have the smile
hat won't come off but the Panana
Canal, the tariff reform and
he Crum case are apt to give it a
breed look before he has been
long in the White House.
A.woman is to be appointed actng
Governor of Oregon and still
he emancepettes are not satisfied.
They never will be quiet until'
hey get at least a near-President.
The Press agents seem to .have
igain gone the people ,one better.
The seemingly general public^ denand
for a censor that wi)l foobid
he salacious and lecherQus
.pectacles that have been put an
he stage in reality eminates from
he stage door and no one who
eads the demands and appeals for
he censor can fail to see that every
ipjectionable play and actress is
tamed in full that the curiosity
if the people may be whetted to
ts finest edge. As long as any
alacious play can be mad e to pay
t will remain with us and it can
ilways be made to pay if it is suficiently
advertised as salacious. As
i matter of fact there is nothing
irorse on the stage, today than
here was twenty or thirty years
tgo, only there is more of it and
t i s more widely advertised,
[here are limitations to indecency
hat have always been recomized
ty the English speaking people
nd always will be but everything
rithin these limitations has been
>resented since our fathers were
n their lusty youth v Have Klaw
ind Erlanger given us anything
nore licentious than the Black
'rook which delighted our grandathers
or can Mrs. Leslie - Carter
>resent anything more suggestive
han Camille Sappho? Only once
n recent times has the press arent
over reached himself in the
ffort to stimulate moral play caled
Mrs.Warren's Profession. The
nnouncing of this production as
he last cry in indecency had the
ffect of extinguishing one of the
inest. wittiest and most moral
reductions which the public ever
aissed the chance of seeing. What
re need is not a censor of plays
rat a censor of advertising, and
-niy when the moralists of the I
ountry come to sec that it is not
o much what the theatres proluce
as what they ariU produce
hat needs censoring and expnrr?ting,
shall we have a stage that
a deprived of its baneful influence

The Capital baa an organisation f
for the prevention of cruelty to i
animals which is one of the }
most active in the country. In C
late years it has 'developed so 1
much strength that it has become ?
a menace to everyone who neg- /
lects or mistreats domestic ani- q
mals. Aks might be expected it &
has made many enemies among ft
those who have been brought to j

and a society has been formed, _
known as the "Horse Owners'
Association" which is endeavor- >
ing to have a bill passed by Cop^
gTees which will so cripple foe
"Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals," as to practically
annihilate it. The bill is es- tl
sentially misleading as it endea*- 9
ors to convey the idea that the le
Horse Owners' Association wishes. c<
to engage in humane work under ai
a new and better law while the' hi
actual purpose'is to destroy the fc
organization-that has been doing tl
this work effectively for many tl
years. The case would be paral-" lo

?r another amendment in the line
lis amendment being taken to
te Governor by Mr. T. A. Dil?n,
commissioner tor Dillon
junty.- Governor Ansel has apminted
M^rch 2nd. for a hearing
om both sides on this question,
he proposed change asked for
ould take back to Dillon County

juare miles of territory containig
these same voters. Although
tese fiigures, a s above?910

88 in the new and 522 in the
Id?have been given out, the sur
eyors, Messrs. T. C. Hamby,
? Columbia and E.N. Beaty, of
Georgetown, have not made their
irmal report to the commissionrs.
Commissioner J. C. Mace,
n the part of the old county peole,
was in Columbia and failed,
fter making strenuous efforts to
ecure a copy of the report, altiough
the surveyors had several
ays previously sent in to the
ommission a final statement of
heir account for the work. It is
laimed that the commissioners
rill not unnecessarily delay this
eport; but as the survey was comleted
about a mop th ago, it is
ifficult to understand why there#
as been so much delay. If the
latter is still further delayed, unit
after the date fixed by Goveror
Ansel for the hearing, the old
ounty people will be at a considrable
disadvantage for lack of inormation
when appearing before
iim. , Of course, it cannot be pre
licted with any degree of certainv
just what action the Governor
irill take in the matter, he having
lready allowed one change in the
ine, and this petition coming up
iter the final survey was finishd.
The cost of this survey has
lready amounted to over $6,000.

used it for both cotton and corn, and it gave splendid satisfaction. (
Quick Step is a fine fertilizer. In fact I do not think there is any bet- 1

The Best Fertilizers for Corn ' 1
That the yield of corn from the average farm can be greatly increased
by intelligent and liberal fertilization has been repeatedly
demonstrated. Large crops of good corn result from preparing the
land well, using the right kind and quantity of fertilizer, good seed
and proper cultivation.
Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizers
will greatly "increase your yield ncr acre" of corn or any other crop.
In some cases remarkable results have been obtained.
Mr. C. W. Caruthers of Sumpter County, I-la., writes: "Words
cannot express the value of your fertilizer. It is really so far ahead
of other companies' goods, that it would not pay anyone to use other
brands, were they given free and put in the field. 1 can prove what
I say to be a fact. 1 made a test on five acres. I used on one half

I kept a correct account of the amount of money I pot off each half
and I pot $Joo more from the land on which I used Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizer than I d'd off the other h<ilf / pot four times as much ,
corn from the land on tu^ch I used your fertilizer."
