Chaing (Jans Divided Kershaw county now has two. chain gangs, one in charge of Mr. Dudley Dabney, located just this side of ,'v dams' pond about fivo miles from Camden in DeKalb tow^hip, and "the other, in charge of Mr. 0. A. Johnson, ; located in the neighborhood of High land farm a few miles from Kershaw, and something over twenty miles y*- f rom Camdon in Buffalo township. iSince the county 'has only two cages, one for white prisoners and one for colored prisoners, they have found it necessary to use tents for the white prisoners, or that is they are using a 'tent for the white prisoners located ?near Camden but we are not informed as to the other gang, but perhaps the &ame plans are being used there. The cages it seems to us are preferable, but they cost around $900, and we do | not know whether or not the county will buy additional cages since they know have two gangs. The cages real ly give the pirsoners a little more freedom in a way. Where it is deem ed necessary to keep chains on them, Btill this does not prevent their walk ing about in the cages, although ? there is not much room for exercise in them, but in tWe tents they not only wear the chains but an additional chain is (put on them when they come 3 from Work. A large chain runs through the tent, and to this in sec tions a smaller one is attached, and the prisoners have one of these smal ler ones locked to^his ankle to prevent escape. As we looked at the boys who are thus confined we could not kjbut think of the price they pay for Wrong-doing, and the earnest hope we ^entertain for them that when the shackles are removed that they will, each one, make a new start in life ajid J rtedoom themselves. The^y ajrc mere boys who are wearing these yphahas and to think that, they must wear them all the tinte! And to Jhink'how much brighter life might be with them! if only thev w <il J turn their feet in right paths! This aome of them at least have pledged themselves to do. Some of the prisoner* have been Mt^Ck with the flu. A physician has Mtfeended the sick ones, both white HRnd Colored, and all are now getting Infttll again. Sunday we found one of Rhe New Jersey boys, Waltor Mitchell, Bksk, but not at all serjously ill. He ?tad been kept in his tent for several ?ays on account of being sick, but if Be la not already out it is thought that Bo will be in a few days.

Farmers are no doubt seriously looking for relief froan the desperate situation into which they have fallen, and there are those who are just as yeriously recommending ways by which the relief that is sought may be obtained. The following extract from a let ter received from a brother editor in South Carolina, A. B. Jordan, of the Dillon Herald, should commend itself lo the honest consideration of every farmer, as having practical value, anc we publish it with pleasure and in vile a close reading- of it: "A careful study of the situation has convinced us that the greates; hope of our farmers is in the plant- | ing of geod cotton seed, intensive "ultivation so as to make more cotton and better cotton on fewer acres and ihe nui; keting of the same coopei | .itively so as to get full advantage of I grade and staple. Then if, the farm o.r can be induced to rab^ plenty food and feedstuffs on the res' vi his land we believe the situation ;an be woiked out in Southy?T:\rolinn The time to make possible this program is right here. Good head way is being made, we believe, in in ducing the growers to plant better <ced this spring. The cooperative I issociation, the extension forces and j other agencies are doing splendi J >vork along this line. We believe I .hat the farmers are also iprepar j ng to cultivate more intensively thi /ear than ever before. Inability to | purchase fertilizer may retard this ,'eature of the program to some ex | ent but not seriously, we hope. This brings us to the marketing eature of the program? the most im jortant of all bc>causc there is m jse to grow any sort of cotton if <.u cannot market it to advantage, i \r.d there is certainly no use to grow I ; tton of better grade and staple if L"ou do not get a premium for it. The contract under which the South Carolina Cotton Grower's Cooperative J Association has been operating ex I ires with the handling of the lU'iii j rop. If the Association is to eon ! inue in business it must sign up a j ufficient volume of cotton to jus | .fy its doing so right away The organization committee of the .ssociatlon, not a man of which liar, t any time had any official connec ot. with the movement, made an in estigatiou of the Association. It us their unanimous verdict that the ".sooiation was being operated in a iost economic and efficient munner . id that its continued operation was vuessary to the economic welfare of ne state. We found the salaries I aid to be ^^rtmely modest and found a genuim* desire on the part I f tfie officials and directors of the .ssociation to make the organization ?ne of great service to the farmer? >f the State."

No occupation offers more fascinat ing opportunity for creative work than modern farming. The use of better seeds removes one of the big elements gamb ling from farming. Every farmer who does not keeo his soil built up should be run down for robbery. * Frank Farmer says, "One-crop {arming is like building a house upon iht sand ? You know the story." Some farmers do a prodigious a rnount of hard work, but what we sUwU'i to say is that intelligence is more to be desired than mere hard work. ' ! ' i' liry l'arm-.ig mathematics ? A dairy cow that gives three hun .tt i ur.ds of butter fat is three .in..? . not twice, as profitable as | n" t* it gives one hundred and fifty I pounds. i Til K TEMPI. ST. We wort crowded in the cabin; Not a soul would dare to sleep; i V was midnight on the waters, \n I a storm was on the deep. Tis a fearful thing in winter To be shattered by the blast, Jo hear the rattling trumpet rhundor, "Cut a why the mast!" So we shuddered there in silence, For the stoutest held his breath While the hungry sea was roaring Ad th( breakers talked with death. As thus we sat in silence, Each one busy in his prayers. "We are lost!" the captain shouted As he staggered down the stairs. l;ut h.s little daughter whispered, As she took his icy hand: "Isn't God upon the ocean Just the same as on the land?" Then we kissed the little maiden, A nd we spoke in better cheery And we anchored safe in harbor When the morn was shining clear. ? James T.
