Put asid? the old felt or derby lid; i they look too cold. It is interesting to note'the price , of gasoline, even in towns not far j ^ apart. In Columbia we understand ! gasoline retails at fifteen cents the ) gallon, in Orangeburg it is seventeen cents, in Blackville eighteen cents, and in Bamberg it is twenty cents. 1 It is sold here by the tank wagons at 1 16 cents, while in Blackville it re- 1 tails at only one-half cent more the 1 gallon. These differences are right s hard to understand. . 1 This is "clean-up" week in South 2 'Carolina. Governor Manning h"5s of-' t nciallv proclaimed - this as a fitting ? time to clean up all premises and f make things sanitary. The State j board of health joins the go\?ernor t in urging upon the people the proper t observance of the week. Let every 'one clean his own premises, remove % all trash and rubbish, and make x things bright. By doing this the g danger of "spring fever" will be ^ lessened. t the present rate of taxation in } ? this county it is incumbent on the officials to practice true economy and give us the most they can for our / * money.

The special levy in Bamberg for the ^ 'support of 'the graded school is nine . 1.y mills, and this in kself is quite an f item.

Even at this late datg there ap- u . t>ea:*S in many quarters an amazing q v inability to apprehend the part that t < sea power has. played in the present v war. Only a few days ago a vsober' h s l critic was scolding the "German and r British navies for "declining fair and v manly combat," and without indicating exactly how they were to be brought to their senses he called bravely on all good neutrals "to in*' sist that when they pretend to be at f - war with each other they shall fight * each other." The silent pressure of sea ^ower is, $ - in short, but little understood. though its results are already so obvious in Europe. In Germany, int deed, it must be sufficiently clear to all who recall the prophecy contained in the famous memorandum aceom. panying the navy act of 1900: "An unseccessful naval war of. the dura- , * tlon of even only a year would destroy Germany's sea trade, and would thereby bring about the most disastrous conditions, first in her sequence of that, in her social life." And popular realization of what has actually conie to pass in eight months may account in large measure for the extraordinary hatred and bitterness I mnnifpsrpd hv all classes toward Ger- I many's*"only enemy:" For German ' people had been brought up to place unbounded faith in their navy: they ; were taught that tlie English and French were effete and decadent races, that F?ritish naval supremacy was largely delusional or. as one < :; good patriot put it. "a relic from the past surviving into the present." ft was for Germany, therefore, to smash the superstition of British emi pire. and the German navy was ready for the task?"a good shove and the ill-jointed mosaic falls in ruins." So the people were told by their teachers.?New York Tribune. I jr. A Fable. Once upon a time a certain man ii South Carolina forgot to pay an; portion of his preacher's salary. Xear the end of the year an otfice of the church waited upon him an< made remarks to the effect that tin Lord loves a cheerful giver. The man flatly refused to be cheer ful. "1 won't pay a cent." he de clared stoutly. "Sot a cent. Tha preacher hasn't been to see me thi year." When the matter was reported, a such matters are. the preacher, a preachers will, felt that he had fal len short of the whole schedule o his duty, and took the blame upoi himself. Hut he determined tha should lie be spared for anothe rear's work, lie would call often up on the offended brother, who thu yearned for his society. Accordingly he made it conven ient to call four times during tin following year. Still the man pai< nothing, and at the close of the yea :he officer of the church waited upoi lym again. "Not * cent." he declared. "No i cent. I've hoarded that preache: ind his horse enough to make up m; share of his salary."

There is a feeling in the minds .0 nanv people that farmers ought t( aise a great variety of money crop; his year. In the writer's travels ir he Southern country, in his corre jpondence, and in public -meeting; vhich he has addressed during tin vinter he .has noticed this feeling ipparent among both the business nen and the farmers. As an Arkan ;as banker who was encouraging tin armers 10 piani pmaiues, wnw oupes and various kinds of truck foi h^e market put it to me, he "wanted o get the farmers to plant a little o! sverything for the market, but not ery much of anything so that they vould not lose much if the markel hould be bad." \V? believe the attitude of this >anker is a grave mistake. In the irst place, very few farmers know iow to raise or how,to market these tew and untried crops, and this is a ery ill-chosen time in which to try o learn. In the second place, the nan who scatters his shot to the four rinds of the earth usually fails tc iag anything at all. In farming, as n everything else, concentration and vsten^ are absolutely essential, 'herefore let us keep just two things a view, namely: To raise what our amilies and stock will need to eat, nd to raise half a crop of cotton as ur money crop. We know how tc aise these things: they are all we teed to raise: and that biggest of all louthern >farm problems?a market ?will give us not an hour's distress. What About a Money Crop? When urging the live-at-home plan ipon our farmer friends we are fre[uently met with the objection thai he farmers must raise crops thai nil sell for cash. "We farmers must lave money," we are told, "and we aust raise money crops to get it nth." This is perfectly true; but it s, in fact, the very strongest possiile reason why we should raise the iving at home. It is as plain as dayjight that if a uan will make his garden, his chickns, his cows and whatever el^e he an get hold of to eat keep'him oul >f debt this spring and summer, anc lext fall he finds himself with a crit ull of corn and hay. a smokehouse ull of meat and lard and molasses, e jackyard full of poultry, and a boun iful supply of canned fruits anci vegitables, he will have his cotton croi ?every last bit of it?as an unencumbered money crop. But. on tlx >ther hand, if he tries to raise hal t dozen or more supposed mone; Tops which he knows neither how t( jrow nor how to sell, he is practical y certain to find himself withou iither a money crop or a living fo: lis family and his stock. Often we are reminded, also, tha farmers must have a basis of credi o/K-onr-oo nf ninnpv and SUDDlieS 'Cotton," they say, "is the securit; we have always put up for our mone; and for our bread and meat, and i we cut down the cotton crop we shal have to raise other money crops as ; basis of credit." This is faulty rea soiling. In the first place, if a mai produces most of his family supplie at home by keeping two or thro cows, by starting a good garden earl and keeping it going, by raisin chickens, and by planting an ampl crop of early forage for the stock', h will not need much credit. In th second place, honestly and candidlj what will an ill-assorted conglomera i tion of new and perishable market crops he worth in obtaining advances 1 j from banker or merchant, and what j y j will another 1 (l.Onn.rtijn-bale crop of J cotton, on top of the a.ooo.Onft hales; r i of last season's crop which we' are i| carrying over, be worth to the hanker e i or the merchant as a basis for advances to the farmers? -j On the other hand, where can yon - find a better credit risk. .Mr. Hanker, 11 Mr. Merchant, than tlie man who s next fall will have plenty of corn, hay. meat, molasses, canned stuff, s poultry, and milk and butter?who, s in short, will have everything he will - need right under his own vine and f fig tree? If need be such a man can i turn loose the hist pound of his cott ton to pay his banker, his merchant i* and his doctor. But if he has raised - nothing to eat he must have the cots ton to buy his supplies with, or applying it on his debts. He must go - straightway and make another and e bigger crop of debts. Surely this is I plain. Business men ought to think r seriously about these things before i refusing to advance money and supplies to the home-liver because he t proposes to raise less cotton than r heretoiore. We believe every ban,ker and every merchant in t)ie South ought to study t this question thoroughly. We believe the banker's money would be used a - great deal more safely by the farmers 1 in buying a few good animals, in purchasing a supply of hogs, and in fencing and planting some good pastures.

We 1 do not know how long the present - conditions are going to last; quite 3 possibly they will last for a number i of years; but e\en though we knew a ; change would come today, since we ? are compelled to build a new agricul ture in the South, let us build wisely ! and well for all the years to come. - Sucli a system should be based upon livestock, cotton, grain, forage and I farm dairying, and not upon a temf porary and extremely uncertain con: glomeration of vegetable, truck and <? novelty crops of a* dozen kinds. : This change can be made. Changing a State's, or even a nation's agrii culture, once the right forces and in- I ! fluences are powerfully at work, is not half so great a task as might be & < > imagined. Denmark, for instance, at D< . the middle of the nineteenth century Oj ' was almost as great a slave to wheat q( ! as the South is to cotton: but today ' dairy cows, hogs and poultry have > taken the place of the wh^eat, and ^ i Danish bacon, butter and eggs are being sold all over the British Isles B( and continental Europe. But the re ! Danish farmers, we see, have been diversifying along safe, sane and con- ? servative lines. They began, in other R II words, with things they had to have i, at home and have stuck to those very k things from that good day to this. In 1 We must do the same thing. There . must be system, concentration, intelligence, discernment, permanence t( and safety in all thai we do or underi take; and,this sound and substantial business policy oh the part of the ; farmers must be backed up by the c< ; loyal cooperation and the material S. support of the bankers and the mer chants, "fhen let us all?farmers, ^ ' merchants and bankers and all hands of : concerned?get together and make a th long, steady determined pull along P* ' these conservative' lines of safety for the agriculture of the South.?Pro- or i gressive Farmer.
