The editor of the News will receive liberal space in recognition of his genius as a poet if he will get us up aomething simuilar to the above •oul inspiring stanza working in aome rhymes on “Walterboro” and ‘‘The Press and Standard.” The agricultural papers are all full •f advice to farmers to begin now to break their land for the next crop. One paper givea the advice to break ane inch deeper Wh year till the land ia broken to a depth of eight inches which we consider mighty good advice. Instead ot spending the next two months loafing and hunting let them be the two busiest months in the year for the farmer. Tlie way these*wo months are oc cupied will determine the suceegs of the fanner next year; Instead of being discouraged over a bad crop this year get io work. Plant some- •tbing besides corn and cotton, diver- flftr. with the Sumter Civic League which arouses the admiration of similar or* gamzatiyns in other places is the manner in which the men of Sumter respond to every- call made upon them by the ladies, and the ladies feel proud of the fact that they have the gentlemen atlheir disposal for financial and moral support and for any assistance they need for the Cicvic league. And the Sumter men, like tiue Southern gentlemen, esteem it an honor to Ik* called upon to asM.-t the Sumter ladies.’V This D the opinion .we had when we referred the matter of the new school building to the Civic League last week. An indifferent free holder might not yield to the argu ment of a “mere man” but if ap proached by ids wife or sister or daughter or some other pretty ami earnest member of the League and appealed to, we are sure “like true Southern gentlemen,” they would sign the petition. We went so far as to send this petition on which is over a hundred names to the last meeting of the League, with a letter asking that it take the matter up and see what could be done. The petition was returned to us without comment. We understand, however, that the ladies present declined to take mat ter up. The Civic league, according to our weak way of thinking, has made a mistake in thus turning down this petition. Here was work, real work it could have done. If it had not accomplishtsi the ^esired end it could have shown its desire to bet ter educational conditions—in other words its RAISON D’ETRE. Of course the /x*ague did not do it “because” and soon. GOOD ROADS DISCUSSION. Th« dkpuquon on the road ques tion in this issue is very interesting. Every reader of this paper should -study them carefully, and if he knows a person, a neighbor, who is mot getting the paper pam it on to kirn and let him read it We are of the opinion that a meet ing should be held in the near future to) discuss the organization of a good raods anociation for the county, or for the districts, whichever may be decided upon. We would suggest that the delega tion issue a call for a meeting and invite speakers on the subject to assist in organizing. Then would be THE KILLING OK CARMACK. Monday a week ago. Senator Edward Carmack, editor of the __ Tennessean, of Nashville, Tenn. was shot to death by Robin Cooper, son of Col. Duncan C Cooper, as a result of several editorial criticisms of Col. Cooper by Mr Carmack, in which he took Col. Cooper to task about certain matters in connection with the recent Democratice cam paign. The editorial referring to Colonel Cooper in the Tennessean last Mon day morning is one of several which have mentioned Cooper. It had re ference to a recent conference be tween Governor Patterson and for mer Gov. John 1 Cox, between whom, because of past political contests, it has been alleged the feel ing was anything but cordial. The editorial is headed “The Diplomat of the Zweibund,” and reads as fol lows: “To Major Duncan Brown Cooper, who wrought the great coalition; who achieved the harmonious con fluence of incompatible elements; who welded the pewter handle to the wooden spoon; who grafted the dead bough to the living tree and made it to bloom, and bourgeon and bend with golden fruit; who made play mates of the la^b and the leopard, and boon companions of the spider ahd the fly; who made soda and vinegar to dwell placidly in the same bottle, and who taught oil and water how they might agree—to Major Duncan Brown Cooper, the great diplomat of the Zweibund be all honor and glory forever." o There is nothing in this editorial to give an excuse for taking the life of this roost brilliant editor whose death is a distinct loss not only to Tennessee but to the nation. It is suprising to whai extent some persons allow themadvee to be in fluenced by the criticisms of a news paper..

COLLETON GROWN POTATOES If one ten years ago had said there could be over 10,000 bushels of sweet potatoes grown on a single farm in Colleton county, he would have been laughed at, somewhat as Columbus was or Watts or Howe or Stephenson or any of those visionary? fellows.
