With prices of farm products

A “LOOKIXti TOt'ir
Several progressive farmers of
the Hendersonville setion Inaugurat
ed a “looking tour” last Friday.
The unique, name and plan of this'
day's outing Is commendable and
we would be pleased to see It spread
over the county. According to this
plan a number of farmers assembl
ed early Friday morning for rhe
purpose of inspecting the farms of
the members of the party. It took'
all day and every member rf is en
thusiastic ovre the (Slings seen and
the good done each one in the
party. These farmers have adopted
some rules to govern future "tours,"
among which Is a system of fines
for farm machinery and implements
left out in the weather. There will
be a fine of one dollar for a one-
horse Implement; two dollars for
a two-horse Implement, and so on.
If they ore able to secure proper
care for farm implements only they
will be doing a good thing for the
people they represent, for it is a
notorious fact that thousands of
dollars are lost each year In this
county by rusting and rolling of
farm machinery loft out In the
weather for months jit a time.
Pass along any road in the county
nnd you will find disc harrows

Of thla country rest. We are sure
that South Carolina boyaonill up
hold the. traditions of their State,
and that wherever they may be
called to godn the discharge of their/
patriotic duty, they will perform
no act which will bring reproach
upon their beloved State. They afe

mocracy, and they will teach by
their lives that the principles of *»

As soldiers in such a cause and
in such a war, there ran he nothing

BUSINESS EDUCATION
The Press and Standard has noted
a tendency among a number of par
ents to send their children to busi
ness schools and colleges beforo
they have attained sufficient pro
ficiency hi educational training.
Boys and girls are going to business
schools for technical ♦•duration
when they should he in school sev

be that bays and girls will gradu

to begin their business careers, am’

be worth bothering about at first,
and so after killing a few, and
cussing the rest, he lets them go.
But they won't go. worth a cent!
They stay right there and go on in
creasing almost as fast as the high
cost of living. They end up like the
fleas in the sad tale Bill NVe used
to tell about his dog; the evening
of the ilday the, poor dog finally
died and was buried. Nye jrot back
fkom the funeral and was naturally
surprised to see what he took to bb
the dog sitting on the front step
waiting for him. On closer inspec
tion it proved to be only the fleas,
which had got hack from the funer
al ahead o< Nye, and had gathered
there to ask him when he was go
ing to get them another dog! So
if you see the bags, worms, beetles
and plant lice, hanging around after
they have cleaned up the garden,
remember that they only want to
express their appreciation of past
favors and will come again.

HUNTING ON Hl'NDAY
a is
u
W. G. Jefford*, of Charleston
who haij farming; interests in low^t
Colleton. Is a strong advocate of no i j should
hunting on Sunday. He complains
of Sabbath desecration, and other
attendant evils and crigies commit,-
ted. Mr. Jeffords recently took tkis
matter up with the newly appointed
chief game warden. W. H. Gibbcs
and received from him very little
encouragement or promise of assis
tance in securing a "close" day for
birds and other game on Sunday
MY Jeffords writes: "It is certain
ly ‘peculiar,’ to say the least’ that
I can get no one to aid are in stop
ping Sunday hunting, especially as
I am considered a heathen and the
others churchmen.
Chief Warden Gibbes wrote Mr.
Jeffords: "Personally. 1 very much
sympathize with a man who is con.
fined ail the week and who has an
opportunity to hunt on Sundav
alone. It seems to me that if I
were such a man. and if the au
thorities stopped me that I would
feel very much disposed to bring
cases against newspapers, street
cars, dairies, restaurants, church
choirs, aextons and any others la
boring on the Sabbath. I will look
Into the matter.” -»
The Press and Standard Is not In
favor of this desecration of the Sab
bath. and is surprised at the view
point of the chief game wardeQ.
Can there be a proper observance of
a law when the chief executive in
enforcing that law. is in sympathy
with its violators? If this is to be
thf standard ideal of the new game
warden, the question arises, has
