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-

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.. How much better for the
country at large, and for the

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?
