STAY OX FARM.
Is Advice of Governor Manning to

I '
Columbia, Sept. 21.?The following
correspondence ^xplains itself:
Gaffney, S. C., Sept. 11, 1915, Hon.
R. I. Manning, governor, Columbia.
S. C., Dear Sir: I take pleasure in
writing you today, the object being
as to whether or not it would be

family, consisting of four boys and
one girl, my wife and self, living in
nice location, on rented land, to resign
position of farming and move
to town.
I ask you as a personal friend of
mine to give this letter consideration.
The ages of my children range
from seventeen to seven. By moving
to the city I would have better
educational advantages, and it is my
whole desire to give my children a
'if'.-', i
fair education. Please give me a few
minutes of your time advising me as
to what is best for my family and
myself. Please give me an early reply
on this important subject, and I
r "> >
will probably be able to help others
by having your letter published in
our local county newspaper.
jf * ' I am a poor man and have never
accumulated much of this world's
goods.
Hoping you *wiii give tnis letter
your immediate consideration; I remain,
as ever, your friend,
M. TURNER PHILLIPS.
Columbia, S. C., Sept. 15, 1915,
[ " -f x Mr. M. Turner Phillips, R. F. D. 2,
Gaffney, S. C., Dear Mr. Phillips: I
/ received your letter several days ago
and have given the question which
_ you propose careful and thoughtful
? consideration. I appreciate your desire
for the educational advancement
of your children, but there are some
v\ matters which we must seriously consider
before taking the step you propose.
In the outset I must advise
you to remain on the farm if possir;
ble.
One of the big problems of our
State at the present time is to make
farm life so profitable and so at
tractive that it will hold the people
in the country and stop the move|?h
ment into our crowded cities. You
say you are a small farmer and have
p not accumulated much of this world's
goods. Years ago I a6 a young man
was facing practically the same problem
that you are facing today. My
1 choice at that time was the farm.
> 1 believe that with the proper effort
? ? ?? hvada V, o renin ace mrtro
UlUre limineV' iiiin ^ uayyiuws IUV* v
contentment, is to be found among
Blr.; .? the men of South Carolina who till
K the soil.
( > The city has many advantages to
mi. offer and also many disadvantages.
You must consider, among other
jfe .T things, the extra items of expense.
In your farm home you have no
electric light bills, no coal bills, no
high monthly rentals, no extra expenditure
for clothing, and many of
the other, extravagances that go to
I;.. make up the life of our people' in
the cities; on the other hand you
have your fire wood, you have your
| \ food crops, your hogs, cattle and live
stock, and above all, you have that
atmosphere of freedom and independence
that cannot be found in Jthe
pp:, city.
||fj South Carolina is making a conand
wnndprfnl stride in mat
ters of education and in improvements
in methods of farming. It has
been my hope and ambition to see
the day when as good educational
advantages are offered to the child of
the rural and mill communities as
are given to the children of our
cities: By this I mean good, sound,
|t. practical horse-sense education without
any frills. In your own county
educational progress has been re
T&arfcable. If you are not now living
near a good country school, J would
advise you to cast about, this fall,
|' and find a piece of land which you
will be able to cultivate successfully,
> that is*located within a convenient
distance of one of these schools.
>
When you have found this piece of
land my advice is purchase same if
possible, on easy terms, paying a little
each year. Then map out your
plans to farm on a business basis;
don't work your farm in a haphaz
ard, happy-go-lucky way. I would
advise you to consult Clemson college
farm demonstrators and ask
their advice in farming methods, especially
winter cover crops so as to
save expense in fertilizer.
Write to the Clemson authorities
and have them send you all of their
bulletins. Study these bulletins;
study your soil and try to plant and
cultivate the crops that are best suited
to the conditions. One of the
. main troubles with our people is that
they have been slaves to what is
popularly called the one crop idea.
We all know that forever and a day
cotton must he our major crop; but
our soil is capable of producing the
very best of every kind of food crop.
You should not forsake cotton, but
ybu should use it as your velvet crop
?your extra money crop. Raise firsj
your home supplies. You should
consult your land and consult with
the county farm demonstrator and
find out just what food crops grow
LAW WILL GOYKRX.
Planning Calls on People to Help enforce
Prohibition.
Columbia, September 21.?Governor
Richard I. Manning, in a strong
statement on the results of the election,
promised to enforce the law
with all the power at his command.
"The people have spoken; the law
will govern," says the governor and
calls on all the people, prohibitionists
and all good citizens, to stand
behind him in its enforcement. "I
shall continue to do my duty," he
says. In. his signed statement the
oo TO
5U* ci ijui oti,? o .
''At this time it seems that the
people of the State have voted for
prohibition by a decisive majority.
The people have spoken; the law will
govern. The prohibitionists have
won the first round in this fight. I
want to say to them that this fight
is not completed, but the most important
part of the battle has just
begun. The determination of the
success of the fight will now depend
on them and me. I will look to the
prohibitionists, and to all other good
citizens for their active assistance.
By this I mean I want information
by affidavits or statements which 1
can use in prosecutions of violations
of the law in the courts, so as to
successfully prosecute and inflict the
penalty which the law prescribes for
infractions of law, and not simply to
furnish me with rumors and unsubstantiated
statements which. cannot
help pie to bring violators (to just
punishment.
"During the campaign last summer
I pledged myself to the enforcement
of law and order. The people
then spoke in no uncertain terms,
and during the few months I have
been governor I have endeavored to
fulfill that, and all other promises
to the best of my ability.
"The sovereign people of South
Carolina, in whom is vested all authority,
have again spoken, and by
their votes have declared that alcoholic
liquors shall not be sold in
this State.
"I believe in the rule of the people,
and as their servant entrusted
with a commission direct from them
to enforce all laws, I desire to State
that with the help of God and the
support of the people, the laws shall
be enforced so long as I am governor.
I fully recognize the fact that
the enforcement of law is a 'job,' but
with the support of the people it
shall be done. I shall continue to do
my duty." .
best on your land.
Every year, in South Carolina, millions
of dollars are sent out of our
State in exchange for little can^ and
packages from other States. These
cans contain foods, practically all of
which can be raised at home.
would suggest that each year you
put up as much canned vegetables,
canned fruits and other foods in
cans, as possible; a big amount can

instance, if you should move to
town; whenever your good wife
wanted a cai^ of tomatoes ten cents
would have to be deposited at the
corner grocery store. You should
grow sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes
and all kinds of vegetables; there
should be a 6mall cane patch to make
your molasses; you should plant bur
clover and cow peas; you should
plant some vetch with yout oats, and
in this manner you would help to feed
both your family and your live stock
and-at the same time improve your
land.
The farm offers greater opportunity
to a;man than any profession or
trade that I knowT of in the State,
and I would urge you, Mr. Phillips,
to remain on the farm where
you can be, contented and happy.
Find that country school and keep
your children there just as long as
possible. It is a fact that our rural .
districts during the past ten years
have been depleted of a large majority
of a sturdy people which has
caused a serious setback to the people
of the entire State. Our people
must come to learn that the basis
of all prosperity for all the people is
a successful farming class. Until we
get most out of the soil in this State
and make more comfortable homes
for our wives and daughters, we cannot
hope to have the better things
of this life and to keep our boys and
girls on the farm.
I want to see more of our white
"tenants own. homes; this is the
most important ^j-oblem before us.
I trust that as our attention and interests
are centered in the solution of
this question, that we will be able
soon to have a practicable working
plan by which the desired result can
be accomplished.
I would like for you to write me
from time to time as to just what
progress you are making; write me
about any problem that may come
up. I am intensely interested in
these questions and you may command
my services at any time to
give you the best possible information
that I am able to.
I am, with best wishes, very truly
yours, RICHARD T. MANNING,
Governor.
Heal Politeness.
A well-known New Yorker, now
dead, who during his lifetime bore
the appellation "Silent" was accustomed
to employ various means
to deliver himself from bores and
timewasters.
On one occasion when the New
Yorker was putting in his vacation
in New England there was one na
tive so bold as to visit the taciturn
man at his bungalow.
"How did you get along with
him?" asked some one when the
bold one returned.
"Fine!" said the visitor. "Fellows,
I've often heard that the man was a
sullen cuss; but I want to tell you
that lie is one of the politest fellows
I ever saw. I hadn't been settin'
chattin' with him more'n ten minutes
before he'd asked me five or
six times to come and see him
again."
