Senator Cole L... Jjlenao said at
Charleston that the Democratic party
is making a serious mistake in taking
over control of the house when congress
meets, because the party can
accomplish nothing with only one
house, and the Republicans will have
an excuse for tholr own failures.
'Poisons who want to take contro^
are actuated by greed for position,
ho said, "and not by the welfare of,
the party or country. They want the
chairmanships, the clerkships, an
the control of m.inor offices.

Secretary Outlines 1
League's Policy
???? ,
The editor of the Chronicle ro-i
quested of Pierre Maryck, Publicity
Secretary of the Farmer*' and Taxpayera'
League, a clear statement of
tho purpose and program of the
League so that those readers of the
paper who have not kept up with
tho operations of the League up tb
this time may inform themselves
readily as to the plan of the Farmers!
and Twpayers' league.
Mr. M^ayck rearranged. several
statement* issued by Mr. J. K. Breedin,
CJenerhl Director of organisation
and acting" treasurer of the League
and submitted them- as a ebneise
statement of the objects of tho
league.
"During the war and immediately,
afterwards prices were high and
money was plentiful and both public
.private expenditures were on A
very liberal, }f* not extravagant scale.
Shortly after the war came the period
of deflation and from then until
now our state has suffered gradually
until it not only is" not making
any not revenue but has virtually lost
the reserves laid up through the
thrift of other years. That is why
such a yoar as this Is such a calamity.
The people have nothing laid by in
store with whi<jh to pay their debts
or to ward off the difficulties which
follow, their present condition. Men
have been compelled to practice var-1
ious economies. Singularly enough
the governmental agencies have not
been touched, apparently, by the deflation,
but have continued with constantly
increasing expenditures, as
thoUgh 'there were no limit to the
ability of the people to pay. For
example, the salaries and general expenses
of the government are a 100
per cent higher today than they were
when cotton was selling at 15 cents
a pound. Nothing illustrates tho
want of harmony between private
and public expenditures as that. With
cotton at 6Mi cents and corn at 35
Cents and top hogs at 4% cents the
state and county expenditures aye
twice as much as they were when
cotton was selling at 40 cents and
corn was selling at $1*00 and hogs
were selling at 12 cents a pound.
"It is apparent that something must
be done. Just as a prudent man has
to plan his own affairs so as to live
within his probable income, so should
the state and counties re-shape their
programs and curtail their expenditures
so as to bring the coat exf state
and county government somewhere
near the ability of the people to pay
from the profits of their year's work.
It is absurd to say that when the
people have no profits?when they
have spent themselves in toil for a
whole year winding up in debt, that
; the state and county governments
! may carry out large programs with
j an utter indifference to the condition
of the people. Wo need to re:
mark that the people themselves are
the government it,nd when we find
| that all the taxpayers, both corporate
and individual, have sufficiently
vastly depleted revenues^ even losing
all net revenue and sometimes
spending all the resources of years
of saving that the state is in such a
condition as to make an immediate
imperative very sharp cuts in all expenditures
and for all purposes. Not
to do so is to set up the theory that
there are privileged classes in the
state and that those who live on the
public are superior to the public. Just
as ali the taxpaying elements are
making common cause to bring the
! full weight of the sentiment for eeon- j
omy to bear on the legislature as J
' well as on their county delegations.
I so must all the people of the state.
| and county governments or whether,
'they receive their living directly from
! private sources, share alike in the
j common condition. The
plan of the League, then is
to organize this general and deep
' >rntiment throughout the state in in"
vim-shle form in -o dor that the gent-ral
assembly may know what it is
that the people demand. For this
reason it is essential that all of those
who think taxes are too high sh- u.d
join the league, sign the pledge card,
and make thair influence ciuunt .
' reduction. If a man does not j",n
i the League he is merely like a stranger
hoviing in the wilderness and he
! will have no effect whatever. We
shall accomplish our purpose through
united effort, a bringing together nil
those who wish their taxes reduced, i
That is the immediate program of the j
league and that is the program that;
the League exp?icts to put through
at the coming session of the general
assembly.

December Advice
for Field and Garden
j
Clemaon College, Nov. 80. ~A brief j
farm calendar of important suggestion*
for* field and garden and orchard
is given below for December
attention by k. W. Hamilton, agronomist;
E. H. Kawl; horticulturist; Alfred
Lutkcn, entomologist and pathologist/
and J. T. McAllister,, agri*
cultural^ng^ter. ' ]
Agronomy?W e a t h e r permitting,
turn heavy soils that have no cover
crops. Put cotton under cover to
prevent loss of $5 to $10 per balo.
Clean up briars and plum thickets
around edges of field.
Horitculture--Prune fruit trees
and bunch grapes. Make garden
plans, get catalogs and order seeds
before seedsmen are out of desirable
varieties. If fruit treee- Iwve not already
been sot, dp so this month; fail
planting in the South is preferable to
early spring planting. Prepare hot
beds for sowing in January, Prune
scuppernong vines to December. J.5.
Propagate grapes and ornameptal deciduous
shrubs from new cuttings.
Injurious Insects and DiseasesBurn
trash and woods in gardens and
fields to destroy hibernating insects.
Burn, orchard prunings to destroy
shot-hole borer. Plow under old
stalks to destroy insects. Burn twigs
severed by girders. Apply*'lime sulphur
or oil emulsion dormant sprays
after trees are completely dormant.
Agricultural Engineering?Plan to
keep the tractor busy during the winter
with belt jobs, sawing wood, feed
grinding, etc, Cut in cotton stalks
and other material on the land with
u disc harrow. Build and repair terrace#
now so that they may settle before
the hard spring and summer
rains. This is a good time to build
or repair fences if you are to handle
livestock. Store machinery that was
used -during cultivating season and
grease parts that are likely to rust.

ure of our faithful teacher and mem.
her, who has left the imprint of nis

A Tribute Fiom An Old Friend
Editor, Camden Cnronicle: Dear
Sir: I am asking for a little space
in your paper to pay my tribute to
Charles W. Birchinore, who died at
Camden Armistice Day.. . The.-guod
things I could say of Mr. Birehmore
are. well known to the people of Camden
and they, tor1 no doubt, mourn
his death. However, I wish to say
that personally 1 have lost a friend-?
one who in my boyhood days always
took pleasure in advising me . and
showing me the better things in life.
I have tried to instill into my hoys
the same advice that he always gave
me.
It was my pleasure to see and talk
with Mr. Birehmore last year and he
displayed that same futherty feeling
toward me that was so evident when
I worked for him 80 years ago. Camden
Has lost a good and faithful citizen
and in his passing I mourn with
the folk back home. To his family
I extend my heartfelt sympathy.
In looking back over the life of
Mr. Birjhmore I see only 'sincerity
and consistency, and I know of no
words that express my sentiments
more forcibly than Longfellow's
Psalm of Life:
"Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time."
