I "Speaking of the profit system," ho , ways, "we may theorize to our heart's j content und draw glowing picture? of | an era of production for use and not 1 for profit, but, human nature being i what it is, when a nation pursues any 1 plan in which profit is eliminated, It j will find Itself building up a loss that f ultimately must prove a hardship to < the very public It was endeavoring I to benefit." 1 He points out the opportunity for ; growth of the Industry und the many ( advantages that still remain for the young men who wish to enter It uh a r life work What the industry has I done is but a sample of what it can j do 1 n"TSe~7uturo~if private enterprise ^ is allowed to develop the nation's re- 1 source? as lu the past.

G 0 COMMENT8 ON MEN AND THINQ8 p b (By Spectator) 8 A northern paper of large circula- B tlon recently published a story cred- t iting 9en*tor Gutfey, of Pennsylvan- i ia, with a large share of the victory e of President Roosevelt at the polos H last November. This article made much ado about the Intimacy between j. Senator Guffey and John L. Lewis ^ and undertakes to prove that 9enator v (JufTey deserves thanks for Inducing t John L. Lewis to support Mr. Roose- h velt and that Senator Gtiffey was al- s wo the genius who showed how to v persuade the negroes to support Mr. > Koosevelt. ? Well, weir So that's the way it ; !? ?or was ? When I vs ss a small hoy I had many s fanciful ideas about cookery; I f. thought it would be fine to mix up r just all sorts of tilings and then bake f those things into a cake Just what i sort of cake it would have been 1 1 a:n still not sure I think, at times, < that it would not have been any worse J than ice cream on apple pie. or < cheese on pie. or mayonnaise on ba i nana, or a cherry' resting In solitary grandeur on a plate of lettuce. These intriguing combinations of food spring i from the dietetic imagination^ ^f the I ladles, but have no reason In fact. So with many of our political cooks; they may throw Into the pot incompatible elements and then bring t? the table a very unsavory dish. Such a dlah we have before us. Neither flah aor fowl to greet us, but the very worst kind of restaurant hash. John L. Lewis upbraids some of the senators and representatives who think Just as I think. Who is Mr. Lewis to breathe maledictions agalzkae us old-time Democrats? Is Mr. T^ewls a Democrat? Those men who appealed to the negroes to support the Democratic party were playing politics, or, else, they were deliberately betraying the South and the Southern white men. When Mr. Farley and hie representatives invited a colored minister to pray and invited a colored lawyer to speak they were making a bid for th% support of the educated negroes and making a bid to all other nagroes through their leaders. It la only honorable that w# be fair 1 n n. vaif g55559BB55?SBS58BES88ES88Syfl888BBS8B8885?BS8p5BBS Exchange Club The raguitr meeting of the club wu? hold ttt the Hotel Camden, Tuesday, September 21. The program was In charge of Lawrence Graham and Ilev. llryce Herbert. A very interestIna talk on church und government In connection with Fascism was given by ltev. Herbert. Three visitors were present. our Infancy. I am aure, with uegroes; we had colored pluyn^tea, and moat white people have a real affection for jnuny of their colored neighbors; but the white man haa drawn a line In politics and in public office. Any one who would appeal to negro support us a political measure Is either deceiving the negro--which Is contemp tible; or, else, he la a renegade and renounces the attitude of his father and his grandfather. 1 do not wish to cheat the negro; 1 claim that a white man can best be Judged by his fairness to hiH colored tenants or other colored people with whom he has business; but 1 know full well, as a man of the south, that any man who promises official or political participation to the negro is an enemy both to the negro and to the southern white man If, then, we Democrats have math' a political pie :>f utterly Incompatible elements wo ire preparing to serve the most nauseous meal of many a moon. About the last of July eleven men A-ent to Washington to argue against ;he Wage and Hour bill; they went prepared to prove that this bill Is not seeded by labor and that positively t waH against the Interest of the 'ariner and the poor laboring man. When the law compels you to pay i man at least a certain sum you will >e sure that the man can earn it or ou will not employ him ut all. There'ore If you must puy a man forty -ents un hour you will not employ ilm if he Is not worth forty cents in hour; and he will not get any vork Then he will have to depend >n charity or a government hand-out. In this great country of ours, with nore than seven million people unemjloyed, does It not seem that it is nore necessary to nut?averxhody-lovork than to set a certain standard >f wages which must leave many out >f work? I am engaged In farming, f I were compelled to pay my colored hands" two dollars a day could I lo that and produce cotton under boll veevil conditions and sell It for welve cents? I should have to delde whether to farm with machinery r Quit farming. If I farm with mahinery I should put many hands out f work and drive them ffom the land if their childhood. I would also deirive the towns of a great deal of uslness. for the colored "hands" , pend their money freely in the tores. It must be perfectly obvious hat the fewer people employed, the sss money will be spent on the buss. on the railroads, for automobiles nd for a thousand and one things. The eleven men who went to Washngton presented the whole business >icture of South Carolina. In the arlous conferences which they had, hey cai$e to a realization that the lUsinoss people of the state should land together because everybody vith whom they deal Is organized, t'ear after year the legislature of the itate and the congress of the I'nited >tatcs either pass, or try to pass, all orts of laws that hamper and hj\ni.triug business It seems to be for;otten that unless business flourish's we shall all suffer. l^abor is organized and Js constantly asking tor nore pay and better conditions of .vork In an ideal society labor and capital should ask only for what Is lust; but wo have not an ideal so iety; we have a society in which the itronger has all the advantage. It is not always labor, as you and I know our friends, which demandB so much, as it is a lot of paid agitators and politicians who keep hie nation in a turmoil. The result of this Is *o put heavier burdens npt only upon Industry, but upon farmers and merchants and clerks and everybody else All of us pay In higher prices for the special concessions which many groups receive. If. then, our business and farmers would serve themselves they must organise to protect themselves.

Early in March It usually returns from it southern winter home, to spoud the spring, summer and autumn with us. I usually hear the first migrating kilhleer before 1 see It, as it flies by high overhead < and shrilly calls "kill-dee, kill dee." Then a glance heavenward usually at once enables me to see it, a silvery object far above me. A little later 1 hear It In the garden and fields, where It calls and flits front place to place while busily feed Ing upon stray bits of food It Is able to hud. It is rather a neighborly bird, seeming to prefer gardens and low-lying, bare fields to grass and pasture lands, no doubt because U Is able to find more suitable food in such places. Htlll later It becomes fiulte noisy when courting and selecting a nest ing site. In May and June 1 frequent ly heur it at night especially If there is a bright moon, as well as off and on all day, and there usually are two or more of the birds. It is an early riser and usually becomes noisy Itjng before the sun rises In the northeast It has much work to do and must be up and about its affairs long before most humans are awake in the morning. The killdeer nests in fields and gardens, preferably in a field or garden plowed and cultivated and hoed the previous year. The nest is nothing but a sllgh^ depression in the ground lined with a. little grass, a few weed stalks, bits of paper and the like, although nests are to bo found that have no lining, the eggs being de^ posited on the bare ground. One pl^ the first nests I ever found had been prepared amid the ruins of a fireworks display in a city pari;. Another, found a few years later, had been built in an old watermelon patch. Part of melons had not been harvested the previous autumn and had been left lying in the field, where they bad spoiled, decayed, crumbled until only small bitrt of crisp, dry rind remained. Amid the ruins of a once juicy and delicious melon the killdeer had bull* ?a slight depression and many bits , of rind constituting, the nest. < I find the nests of killdeer in my garden each year and do my best to save them, sometimes leaving small ] plowed, again keeping at a distance < when cultivating and hoeing. A nest we tried to save by means of a patch 1 of unplowed ground one spring met with disaster a little later. There -i were many wind and dust storms that j spring, &nd a violent one struck ua < about the time incubation was well > under way In the killdeer's cradle. Band and dust swirled about the 1 nest and egga, completely burying i them. I had a stake set near the nest < to mark its location, and only by ' means of this was I able to And any trace of the eggs, for they were covered with sand to a depth of six inches. I carefully removed the sand from the eggs, but .the mother bird never returned to them. The killdeer la an expert at feigning injury when you get near lits nest There are three steps to the misleading ruse At first, when you are at a distance and incubation is not far advanced, it runs off until it flndu a suitable depression, all the while uttering shrill "kill-dee" notes. When It finds a suitable depression, it squats as if snuggling down upon its eggs, as much as to say: "Look, here I have hidden my nest. See, I am sitting down upon my eggs." Advance, and the bird runs rapidly off until it finds another depression and there repeats the ruse. Usually both birds of a pair take part in this little game of hide-and-seek, one in front, the other farther off to the rear or either side. Newspapers are the constant recipients of anonymous communications, which are promptly consigned to the waste-basket. Now and again ?not often?but occasionally, a letter is sent in wltlr a forged signature, which, of course. Is far * worse than with nond at all. The Union Times, which was the victim of a despMUbt* trick of thla sort recently, saysr ~Jint when you sign s name other than your own yon have committed, forgery, and forgery la a crime/punishable by law. Some one played this trlok on us recently. The letter was written and the writer signed a name?not his own, but that of another. It was forgery, pure and simple."?Chester Reporter. ,, & exist for ths purpose of fighting labor; bnt It does exist for the purpose of promoting the business of the state; and. promoting the well-bdtng Of the state; for the purpoee of dOveloptng the resources of the state; tor thp purpoee' of bringing in new MwitrtH! ?m4a ft* k taimim to tkp KMlM Rotary Notes "i hi i i }T> " ' This week s Rotary program was iu charge of Jerome Hotter and he had as guest speaker, Dr. T.

Graham, of Charleston, chairman of the state board of fisheries, said that eullghtmeat of South Carolinians to ' the enormOus wealth wrapped up in coastal waters" would produce a. profitable fishing industry. \ He pointed oi}t progress had been made toward conservation and propagation of marine life, but said there still was much to do in awakening poople to the Importance of protecting the state's water resources. The board, Graham said, has established a hatchery at Jacksonboro for restocking waters with shad, which he Haid had decreased greatly from the time when this species brought fishermen thousands of dollars. In 1907, he asserted, 110,000 shad were caught in South Carolina in contrast to 18,784 last year. [ He saw prospects of improving other marine resources, including oysters, shrimp and sturgeon. HAT-CHECKING CO8T8 If you like to think of yourself and your fellow Americans as a sturdy and independent people, consider the case of the New York gentleman who, buying a new hat, set out to keep . track of the money it would cost him, In tips to hat check girls In restaurants, theaters, and night clubs. In one month, he discovered, this hat cost him exactly $9?and the hat cost only a dollar in the first place! , The only difference between .thlt J New" Yorker and the rest of us is i that We don't get around quite so much.. When we do get around, we pay the hat check girl meekly and without thought of protest. Yet the hat check racket is a petty graft that anly a completely house-broken people would put up with. It certainly ought to be up to the proprietor of a place of public entertainment to give his patronB ft place to put their bats, and to give it to them for nothing. If we were half as sturdily Independent as we like to think we are, we would never put up with the present. system.?Sumter Daily Item. FARMER8 REARRANGE FENCE . ' LINES AND REDUCE EROSION *' " ________ 'Old fence lines, which generally followed original farm surveys, roads, or more often the personal whim of the first owner, often are rearranged by farmers who are trying to control soil erosion by farming with the "l*y of the land." A recent national survey by the Soil Conservation Service disclosed that the farmers cooperating with the erosion-control agency have constructed ot reallocated approximately 14,000 miles of fencing during the past 3 year. One of the most important rea- | sons for changing field boundaries has been the wide-spread adoption of contour cultivation?the practice of running crop rows around sloping fields instead of up and down the hillsides?Service officials say. Farmers also are ufclng fences to j protect new woodlands?and woodlands In which erosion control Is under way?from grazing, to keep live- j stock out of gullies that are being stabilized with vegetation, farm ponds, areas retired to permanent grafts, and other places on the farm where trampling and overgrazing wpuld lead to accelerated soil erosion.
