about "'his revolution.
"There }s no human agehcy which
can jk/op this movement of negro labor
from the fields of the south to the /in'
dustvies t?i; ihe north, and we had as
well forget it and go to work to meet
ihe situation and adjust ourselves to
the new conditions. There are thous
ands of thrifty white farmers in the
northwest who are anxious to come
south where they can work twelve
months in the year, A few thousand
of such scattered throughout Georgia
would revolutionize the farming in
terests of our state and make two
blades of grass grow where only one
grows now! We need to build up our
rural communities by bringing in
white farnSers and thereby making
country life as attractive and pleas
ant as that in the towns. One thrifty,
intelligent white family brought into
our midst is worth a dozen of a thrift
less race that has never developed any
section north or south. > Man did not

A Charleston lady, Ion;* residem in
New York city, writes lo a friend in
Charleston as follows:
"The negro exodus does not please
nuV I think of the difficulty ri pro
curing labor in farm work and the
household. Negroes are not welcom#
here ? if they do anything wrong, no
matter how little the offence, in the
streets, or on the cars, they are set
upon immediately by the rough class
and inhumanly treated. Then tiie cli

high. They do not understand all that

TO FILL THE PAPER.
Home of the Thin** Ihut Conn lu
Help the Editor Out.
' In every newspaper of tU<* there
come dull days In the matter of new*
of importance. Some day# there is
nothing much happening and the
newspaper man knows ih.itf belt r
than the reader of the paper, who
soon throws the sheet aside with the
exclamation: "Nothing in Jit."
With this thought in view and also
with the mistaken idea that newspa
pers sometimes have a hard time to
find something "to fill up" the paper,
kind friends sometimes sit down and
dash otf^umething and without read
ing'^t over themselves submit it to
the newspaper man to, help him out
of his troubles.
While newt of importance some
days runs very , light, still there is,
never any want of material to "fill up
a paper." such as it is Sometimes. To
holp out the newspaper man, there
are hundreds of press agents all over
the country, who get their pay from
some concern interested in getting
its advertising in the papers without
paying for it, in the shape of news.
These stories are usually cleverly
written, but there is always an adver
tising or publicity feature in them
worth something to the persons send
ing it out, or these press agents
would have no job. To give an idea of
the mass of this stuff that comes to
every newspaper office, the following
came to $he Daily Mail office in just
one mail:
Methodist Temperance glip sheet.

The Story of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XXXVIII. ? COLORADO
COI.OKADO
Is the
most precious
of our states,
for In the
in I n 1 n g of
Kold and sil
ver It BUT
passes all other States*, produc
ing about one-third of the total
output of the entire country. In
fact, Its real history starts In
18M, when gold was first dis
covered.
Prior to that time there had
been hut little settling In this
region. Spanish explorers had
traversed the country In the lat
ter part of the Eighteenth cen
tury, and laid claim to It. As a
part of the Louisiana Purchase
It came Into the .possesion of
the United States In 1803. Offi
cers of the United States army
were sent out to explore this
wilderness among whom were
Lieutenant Pike In 1806, and It
was after him that Pikes Peak
was named. In 1810 Colonel
Ix>ng made extensive explora
tions and he was followed In
1842 by Fremont, whose activi
ties in tiie Mexican war brought
him Into much prominence. At
the close of the Mexican war,
Mexico ceded her rights to this
territory to the United States,
but it was considered a barren
waste and unattractive for set
tlers.
Then in 1858 came the dis
covery of gold in the bed of l>ry
('reek, a few miles south of
where l>enver now stands. The
lollowlng spring tens of thou
sands of men ljocked into what
was then called the I'lkes Peak
country. In 18">0 I>en\er been me

grown into a big city with news

This, of course, is only a partial

has had first place.
After a successful trip from Augus
ta, Ga., to New Bedford, Mass., with
two bales of cbtton to be made into
Masonic aprons and a basket of Geor
gia peaches for President Harding, a
big airplane was wrecked at Aber
deen, Md., Tuesday evening. The plan
wa's to get the cotton to New Bed
ford, have them madu into aprons, and
to shower the aprons over Washing
ton. The peaches were to be landed
at Aberdeen, Maryland, and to be
taken to the president from there.
Everything went smoothly to Aber
deen, the aprons having been manu
factured in the meantime but in the
effort to take off from Aberdeen the
wreck came. Lieutenant Wendell K.
Phillips of New York was killed, Capt.
F. J. Wilder was seriously injured
and Sergeants C. J. Lunt, Carl John
son and Privates C. L. Helton and
W. Heldt were less seriously hurt.
In attempting to rise at Aberdeen, the
landing gear of the airplane crumpled
the plane went on and crashed into a
sand bank.

Clemson College, June 8.? "As I .
travel about th6 State it is a great
pleasure to' nOte the . great advance
ment being mad<!j In poultry hus
bandyy,'\says N. R. Mohrhof, Exten
sion Poultry Husbandman, who re
ports for May decided progress in
hatching of chicks, growing out of
young stock, profitable meetings of
poultry asOclfetions, successful mar
keting of carlots of poultry, etc., as
illustrating the growth , of a real
poultry industry in South Carolina.
During Ma^V the report says, em
phasis was placed by most poultry
raisers on developing young stock,
fattening fryers, and the protection
of the birds from poultry pests and
diseases, though no small number of
people were still hatching out chicks.
Commercial poultry plants are be
coming numerous and several of these
were visited during the month by the
specialist, who is working with them
to help establish them as permanent
concerns. Regarding poultry meetings
and carlot marketing the report has
the following statements:
"Meetings were attended in various
parts of the State. A meeting was
held at Garnett by the Brighton Agri
cultural Society, and "Poultry on the
Farm" was the subject of discussion.
At a meeting of the Columbia Poultry
Association carlot shipment of poul
try was discussed. At the- Florence
Poultry Short Course great interest
was shown in poultry. At the New
berry County Poultry Association
meeting arrangements were made to
ship a car of poultry. .
"During the month carldads of
chickens were shipped cooperatively
from Chesterfield, Laurens, Darling
ton, Greenwood and Abbeville, and the
hundreds of cooperating shippers
were, well pleased with the receipts,
prices averaging 21 to 22 cents per
pound for hens, 35 cents for fryers,
10 cents for roosters. Prices well
above the local markets; Plans are
under way to ship several more cars
in June."
An interesting and encouraging
feature of the movement for more
and better poultry is the organization "
of numerous poultry clubs among the
Club Boys, and Club Girls of the
State, whose members will grow up
with the growing poultry industry.
The Very One.
A 'certain automobile manufacturer
claimed to have put a car together in
seven minutes.
A few weeks after this event was
heralded .in the newspapers, a voice
on the telephone asked:
"Is it true that your factory put a
car together in seven minutes?"
"Yes, Why?"
"Oh, nothing. I believe I have the
car.'.' ? Southern Telephone News.
Klugi Lozaade, a Filipino, on Sat

his sweetheart, on Friday night, in a
jealous rage because she would not
marry him on the ground that he was
