I do wish to emphasize this fact however, that while great results are to be achieved by better methods of mar keting and rural co-operation, the South is still a hundred years be hind the times in agricultural meth ods and we must continue to em phasize “Better Farming ’ along with Better Business.” Statistics showed that In 1900 with exactly the same economic sys tem and marketing methods in vogue in both North and South, the North Atlantic States farmer was making $500 more a year than our South At lantic farmer; and that the average farm worker in the Carolinas and Virginia, avetaging a horso and a third apiece an dcultivating 22 acres each was earning $184 a year, whereas in Town, Indiann? and Illi nois the farm workers averaged three horses apiece, cultivated 60 acres and earned $66?, a year.

Now let u* glancu very briefly at the various plank* in tht* platform In the flr*t place, I aay that if we are to have a great rural civilization the State and the schools must recognize the Importance of such a develop ment and must shift their emphaala from the leas important work to the more Important work in building up a Commonwealh. They must recog nize the fact that we have to-day throughout the South too few men who are creators of wealth and too many who are merely traffickers in the wealth that other men are creat ing. When I was In Japan I was struck with the fact that the old Jap anese ethics give the farmers more honor and a higher social rank than the merchant or the banker—the the ory being that the farmer is an actual creator of wealth, a man who actually adds to the store of the world’s riches while the merchant and the banker, honorable in the degree that they are needed for their purposes are never theless essentially traffickers In the wealth that others create Instead of creators of wealth. I honor our merchants and lawyers and bankers—I would not stir up any class feeling—but must we not admit the soundness of the Japanese reas oning? And when we put faro to face with the fact that the Carolinas are reported two of three poorest Ameri can States—with a per capita wealth of $414 in South Carolina and $420 In North Carolina against n $1,318 averafe for the whole Unite! States —mast we not also admit that not all osr bankers, lawyers, and mer chants can rsdssm ee—simply be- j • ' * t ■ 4 P. 6 . V ' 4 V . I I . - • ' P p'kr- *4 » 4 • ‘ 4 »• '4 ' k 1 ft !

It shows ihn fifteen cent* of it* every dollar ij apent for Latin, eleven cents of every dollar for French, six cents for German, and one cent for Greek—-i total of thirty-three cents of each dollar ior these foreign languages, v. hile one- half of one cent in each dol’ar goes for shopwork and mechanical draf- ing and less than half a cent for domestic science—thirty throe times as much spent to teach foreign lan guages that not one boy in a hun dred will ever use, as to give training for work that all should u?e. And all this in the face of tho fact that so eminent a classical scholar as Am bassador James Bryce In his new book says that half of the hoys who study Latin and five-sixths of those who study Greek never get far enough to get anything whatever from the literature. Our farmers themselves, however, are largely to blame. The law pro vides for teaching such practical subjects as agriculture and hvglene and sanitation, but it is doubtful whether one qountry child in ten now studies them. Here is a chance for our farmers to come forward and help a mighty movement alone! Let them show themselves as progressive as a State Superintendent of Educa tion wbo said to me the other day that a farm boy had better study health than history and agriculture than geography—if he had to choose Let us resolve on these things: 1 That every South Carolina farm boy over twelve ahall study agri- c wit are this fall. The Washington corespondent of The News and Courier says in the conference with the Southern bankers there Thursday the treasuy depart ment made it plain that the emerg ency money to be distributed to help move the crops was to be used solely for that purpose, and not for general business purposes, and it must return to the treasury in a reasonable time. About $20,000,000 will be sent out by the treasury to the South and Weet to aid in moving the crops in August about $20,000,000 more in Septem ber and about $10,000,000 in Octob er, that is, if this much money is needed. It is understood that the de-partment will begin calling the money back in December and will have it all in by March. South Carolina bankers who at tended the conference with the Secre tary and First Assistant Secretary of the Treasury were as follows: From Charleston: R. G. Rhett. W H. Sparkman, K. H.

The address on “The Majesty of mon Good to a close. Dr. Snyder of Wofford College, Thursday night brought the Conference for the Com mon Good to a close. r. Snydes thrilled the Convention by his mas-, terly handling of the subject. “The stand of the ages,” said the speaker, “is on the majesty of the law and If is the corner-stone of all of our lib erties. It Is impaired by too much special legislation, by too much de lay in executing the laws, mandates, and the apparent slowness of the Courts in dealing out justice, an ap parent feeling that some can get more of the resources of the law than oth ers.” He plead for everyone to re dedicate themselves and work toward upholding the majesty of the law. Col. Alfred Aldrich precipitated a flutter in the Convention, when he offered as an amendment to the reso lutions of the committee a motion to return the thanks of the Conference to United States Senaor E. D. Smith for his share in Inducing the Gov ernment tq offer $50,000,000 to as sist the South in moving Its crops.

It would be doubtful and very expensive. The fight with the boll weevil will be a hand-to-hand battle. The department states that one of its difficulties is in inducing negroes to adopt and push the proper methods for fighting the pest. Millions and millions of dollars will be saved to the farmers of Georgia If they unitedly and untiringly fight the Mexican pest that .blasts and lays bare the cotton fields. The work can be started this fall, and every farmer who wishes to learn "how td fight the weevil should get into communication at once with Senator Smith or one of the Georgia congressmen. te eto*r4 s ka#* b*r Earttor la th* of tb* •Uvi tar •levator she sayta^ “It doesa’t I'm craxy.” Whil* Mr. • recBonstrstiag with th* th* lop flo*r of th* h*U41ag At ash ed f? h* thought It would kill har If th* fell to the grouad from tho Itth floor.
