The Hampton Guardian has enlarg- WJ
ed to an eight-page six-column all th
home-print paper and installed a lino- pi
Itype. Congratulations! er
He was a believer in good roads an
before, but since his trip to the rcoun- be
tains recently and seeing the fine yo
macadam roads around Charlotte, id<
Mr. C. \Y. Rentz is enthusiastic on to
the subject. He views the matter a
from a business stand point, and that
is the view all should take of it, for fr<
no county can ever prosper as it br
should until distance is lessened and tn
farmers can market their crops with fri
ease by reason of good roads to the he
county seat. A bond isue of $100.- ofl
000 for wide, permanent highways
would be' the best investment the vs
tax payers of this county could make, re
\ True we are doing well with the br
amount of money available, but it is re
out of the question to expect our tic
v officials to build real highways with in
the means they have, and the money ba
cannot be raised except by a bond is- de
sue. Then the present income could
keep up roads very nicely. in:
We have asked Mr. C. W. Rentz nn
to give us some articles on good
roads, in view of his seeing the fine
roads around cnariotte recently, ana
. i we hope he will do so. We propose
to inaugurate a campaign for a bond m
issue in this county for good roads, m<
and we invite any taxpayer to discuss *e]
the subject, either for or against.
Good roads pay. This is a fact no- ?13
body can dispute, and the better they
are the more dividends they pay. A m
farmer who lives fiiteen miles from
Bamberg can only bring say two Dales tlv
of cotton to market with two mules,
v. With a real first-class hard road he la<
could bring twice the load with a
great deal less wear and tear on his
teajn and wagon. The question is th(
often asked: "Where do all the horses ar<
and mules sold in Bamberg each year
go to?" True this city is the distributing
point for a large territory P?
for live stock, but many of the ani- an
mals sold here wear out too quick an
because of bad roads.

leriff John V. Owings said to-night
at the negro had conlessed to him
iring the afternoon. The confes3n.
it is said, was not made known

At a lonely spot on a country road,
o miles from Laurens, at 11
'clock this morning, the negro ateked
a well known young woman
the county. He dragged her from
buggy as she was driving to Laur:S.
The negro was crouched under

Rowing in another buggy. The neo
fled. She drove on to Laurens
id stopped at the home of R. A.

as given, but a search was begun by

ace of attack the officers found seval
negroes at a house. Richard

heavy guard.
At 7 o'clock to-night bloodhounds

At 9 o'clock about fifty men adnced
on the jail. Sheriff Owings I
fused to give up the prisoner. They j
oke down a wooden door in the

The New Chairman of
on Agriculture Wri
the Progressi
I wish to expiess to you my very 1'
keen apreciation of your letter of li
congratulation upon my appointment v
as Chairman of the House Committee i
on agriculture. Personally, I should b
prefer infinitely to be the Chairman f
of this Committee than to hold the n
chairmanship of any other committee
of the House, because my service b
on it makes me know that no other t
committee affords such splendid op- d
portunities for real service to all P
classes as this. t
This new Committee on Agricul- f
ture, if its temper is understood by t
me, will do real constructive funda- b
mental work. We shall have to re- b
organize the Department, tighten up c
the screws, give it the proper exer- b
cise in order that its muscles may be t
hardened, and that it may be devel- t
oped as an organization for the stren- j i
nous work before it. This reorgan-jt
ization is going on at the present j I
time, but it will have to be confirmed
by the Committee on Agriculture, c
and it will take more than ordinary t

Information "Embodied" in Learned ;
Bulletins.
s
The Department of Agriculture j,
was created for the purpose of collecting
and disseminating information
to the people on subjects per-,
taining to agriculture. For a long!,.
i 1
while, even under the Secretaryship .
of Mr. Wilson, the Department con- ,
tented itself with the investigational j ?
side of its work. Information through , ^
the experiment stations of the several
States and through the Department
itself was collected in great t
quantities, and beautifully embalmed
in farmer's bulletins, which were
distributed, and the public neither *
understood them, nor in most cases
read them. '
Lately the Department has been
conducting in the South a campaign
to demonstrate the result of its in-j.
I
vestigational research work, and the j a
result has been good. I propose in j
what is known as the Lever Bill," to t
reorganize this work, making the L
agricultural colleges of the States p
the centers from which the demon- ! c
, ?
stration work shall flow out, and this j ^
purpose is predicated upon the idea t
that the local institution is best g
equipped to know the local needs, j g
What the Lever BilL Proposes. fi
The bill seeks to unify the work | P
of the Department of Agriculture, the t
experiment stations, and the agricul-' i:
tural colleges, making them all un- v
derstand that they are public func- j k
tionaries created to do a common I d
public service. The provisions of n
this Bill will develop a better spirit t
than now exists between experiment i<
stations and agricultural colleges, e
and the Department of Agriculture, j t
and the jealously which has served b
to handicap the work of these respec- ii
tive institutions in the past will cease.! fc
In this program Secretary Houston j il
and Assistant Secretary Galloway t
join heartily, and I am led to think 1 a
that there will be no holding back j'tl
upon the part of the other .parties li
concerned. ! a
The Department has spent a great f:
deal of time in teaching the farmer j w
how to produce more from the soil, s
This is well.
We have sent our men in the field
to teach the farmer how to grow d
two bales of cotton where one grew n
before. In this effort the great com- j s
mercial and philanthropic associa-! tl
tions of the country have joined. The b
farmer has been aroused to a better n
understanding of his control of the V.
soil with the result that where these; V.
demonstration methods have been t'
pursued crop production has increas- o
ed largly. We are carrying to the e
farmer through these methods the si
accumulated information of 50 years, j T
but this information touches only one ! s
i
side of the problem. : a
Marketing Problems Now Most Ser- st
F
lOUS. I r
To ascertain a fact about agriculture
is important, to demonstrate its
practicability is more important; to c
increase production upon the farm is j
desirable, but it is not all to be de-:
sired. It is not enough to teach the
farmer how to grow two bales of t<
cotton insteacf ?f one, or how to pro- j f<
duee first-class alfafa hay. or vetch U
or cowpeas upon land which hereto- j
fore yielded only crabgrass; ;t, is aot n
enough to teach him how to raise a
hogs and cattle or dairy products; j u

much without teaching Iiim more. ! w
We shall continue to encourage the p
teaching of these things because they
are fundamentally necessary, but the! cl
greater problem at this time is to! p
teach the farmer how to sell to the j o
best advantage what we have taught j U

iim to produce at the least cost. We
lave taught him productive ability; ,
re must now teach him selling abil- ;
ty. It will do him little good to fill :ic
harns with nmns for whiph hp pan
ind no sale, or which at the best he .
liust sell with no margin of profits.
To my mind the problem of mar:eting,
the reduced cost of distribuion
of farm products from the pro- j
ucer to the consumer, is the biggest ^
roblem for solution. The best au- j
ho.rities prove conclusively that the j
armer receives only 50 per cent of ^
he price paid by the consumer for .
lis products. Just what plan will
ie? worked out to reach this problem
annot be foreseen at this time. I '
lad inserted in the last appropria- k
ion bill a provision to study this i
rhole subject with a view to reach- <
ng some conclusion which might be j
aken to the farmer in the way of (
iractical demonstration. The work l
s now organized, and as Chairman
if the Committee, I shall encourage
o the extent of my ability the work .
if the Department as outlined by ieeretary
Houston in securing: first, !
letter methods of marketing; second, j
letter rural credits; third, better j
chools for the farmer.
Jut the Government Will Only Help 1
You to Help Yourself.
But the most vital element in the
roblem is not to be overlooked. The
armer must not get the idea that he
s to sit down and wait for things to
>e handed to him on a silver platter.
I'he Government does not propose
o run his farm for him. It is only
rilling to help those who help themelves
and acts upon the assumption
hat the farmer wants to do things
or himself and only needs a little
guidance. Unless he will give his
o-operation to the Government and
o his ljrother farmer rnd to his <$>mnunity,
the work of the Government
rill be worse than wasted. The spirt
of self-help and community co-opration
is to be the cap-stone of the
rch*
In the improvement of farm condiions
the ideal cano-t be reached
mtil a firm grasp is had upon the
iractical side of life. The enthuiast
will find little encouragement in
iringing about th-e ideal farm condiion?the
educated barm boy and
irl; the well arranged, carefully
anatized farm home; the front yard

lito +r\ cop until bp has

rought about the financial indepenence
of this same farmer. We would
lake a mistake to get the cart before
he horse. It is well to look to the
ileal, but it is wise to look to that
nd in a practical, sensible way, by
eaching better marketing methods,
y standardizing farm products, givig
to them a community character,
y developing a system of rural credos
and rural co-operation by which
he farmers may secure long loans
t low interest. We shall increase
he bank account of the farmer, reeve
him of financial dependence and
