DISCI SSKS LIVE VCESTION AHLY (Continued from page One.» When a man has to clear land, stump and drain It and then to add fencing to keep out somebody’* cows and hogs, the burden becomes too i.reat. Batches t6ok the place of field*; large area*, formerly culti vated. were abandoned because o( the expense of keeping up fences. It also followed that IiVj$ stock deteriorated: cows and hogs 'have run-down noticeably within thejaast twenty-five years. » "r ’ I know the sentiment of the farm ers of Colleton county by report only but my information is that a decided majority of them oppose "free grass’ as being morally wrong and econo mically rotten On such a question nobody but the farmer ought to be considered. There is a still higher question than the economic one, natneljffhe effect on moimi and educational de velopment. It is a general rule to which there are few exceptions, that throughout the "free grass” belt the percentages of Ignotanee and Illi teracy is greater than anywhere else, roads are worse, schools fewer. You have but to compare such counties as Greenwood and Chester with poor soil, much of it, sterile, all of it in yearly danger, of wash ing away, with raw. bad winters and scorching hot summers, wit’i Colleton and Beaufort, blessed by all the bounties of Providence and with the richest soil in the known world Any man who knows the facts does not need to be told that these counties have vastly more of everything money, meat. schools, churches. people anything that goes to enrich the life of man,. The politician’s glib answer \<* th" these two counties^-!Greenwood and* Chester! have large white majori ties. Precisely: then why continue a system tjiat makes a large white majority impossible; that discour ages settlement, hangs a weight around the people’s necks. keeps children uneducated, fertile areas untilled and casts a blight -on the fairest region on the globe?

With Si. valuation «il $40.00 per bale, cutJon ps above stored can oe insured an entire year for d*«c par bale. If it is impossible to install casks of. waier cotton as above stor ed without the-Vater can bo-insured for $1.10 per bale per year. If it is impossblc to construct fence and yet water is instlaled as above pro vided. cotton can bp. insured in such sheds for $1.00 per bale per year. Without either water of fence in •hods as above described, cotton can b** insured-for •$ 1.20 per bale per '•ear. Policies can be written for 3, 6. !*•. or 12 months, but it is much better to insure for a year, and if sale be made earlier, cancel policy ind receive back unearned premium. The above specifications are very -timplfeskkequlri^g k minimum of nia- ■rial, and in adoTHon to their Cheap ness. can be built When needed, .i ew shed being constructed as an- *ther is filled. Several farmers in »ny locality can get togehtre and build such sheds on a co-operative 'asis. Cotton stored at sundard warehouses will cost at least $3.00 per bale per year, as well as the vnense of getting cotton to such point*. Also, as a result of the ac tivity of the new Federal Reserve Banking System, insured cotton will probably be the basis for extensive jans this fall. The cotton can be sured oa the Iprm aa well as in hi*, city and mu£h cheaper to the producer. . The officers of the Colleton Rea!-* ty Company, from whom the above information was secured, are R. M. Jefferies and D.i L. Smith, both of whom ate willing to co^perata with the farmers in the constrpction of sheds and will assist in every way possible in this work. Mr. Jefferies served as secretary of the Planters Warehouse Company which endeav ored to meet the situation last year. Any 'further* information naV be desired can be secured from h« Colleton Realty Company, any other cotton insurance agents or lueslions sent this paper will be an- wered through these columns.
