The time \ as, when as much or uiore, of the resources of this country were left to waste as there was used to profit and udvantnge. In this State and in others for that matter, year* ago cotton was looked upon as the staple commodity. It was not considered whether soil would or would not produce another crop. The population being comparatively suiall, only those lauds most fertile in the production of cotton were cultivated, I lie other being left largely to waste. Uut ns the number of inhabitants increased it became evident that some of Ibcm would have to utilize the lands left lying out or else seek another country. Out of this state of affairs largely grew our wonderful manufacturing industries. Men of thought and foresight conceived the idea thut the cotton grown in our own State could be turned into profit right'here. They reasoned that if the Northern manufacturer could buy cotton in the South, ship it to New England, manufacture it into cloth and ship it buck down here and sell it at a profit, they could make the same goods and sell it at a less price, because they would not have the expense of transportation both ways. In accordance with this idea, soon after the Civil War, several cotto< mills were built; hut the great interest manifested in this industry was not until a few years ago, when in hut a short time cotton milts were erected all over the State. In many instances turning tin- uruu anu iiuiiiuruui 111 c 111 iiur insignificant way-station into the hurry and hustle of an up-to-date manufacturing town. Such was the growth of cotton manufacturing in thisStatc. Another line of industry which lias been marvelously developed within the last decade is that of cotton seed oil mills. It is true that previous to the Civil War one or two of these mills w;re in existence, but it was not until j after the war that much attention was paid them. It took a long time to develop the machinery and to elevate the peopl? up to the use of the product of the cotton seed. The first cotton seed oil mill in the State was built by Gen. Alexander in Columbia in 1809. It was not, however, until after Ikho that the " process ul dVtrUi'linir Ml ifUd, commonly known. Previous to that ' time those who knew it, held it as a ; great secret. After that period this industry attracted more attention: the uses of the different products were developed, and today that industry holds a very important place in the commercial world of this and neighboring States. In many instances, where mills are properly managed the dividends paid on the capital invested has been fabulous. Since it has been thoroughly demonstrated that the oil in cotton seed is of 110 advantage ut all as a fertilizer, thoughtful farmers have been selling their seed at a fair price and purchasing other fertilizers to take their place. During the rise of these twj industries another has been gaining the attention of the progressive men of this State. It is tobacco raising. This staple has been cultivated successfully in North Carolina for a number of years. Dot. notwithstanding the fact that North Carolina is onlv a short distance away, the cultivation of tobacco bad not been seriously thought of by the business men of this State until a few years ago. The attention of come of the planters of the l'ee l)?e section was attracted to the growing of this product and they took the matter up i largely as an experiment. The result I was that it proveJ vesy profitable. Following that experiment tobacco has been grown in large quantities in that section during the last two yrars. In some instances the cotton crcp being supplanted by it. Large warehouses have been established for the storage of this crop, which in themselves have proven sources of large revenue. From the Fee Dee section planters of other sections have caught the idea thus developed and have gone into the raising of tobacco for market on a small scale. It has now drifted into our own county and is being successfuly raised. At Leesville and in the neighboring country it is being largely planted this ' year, and we have noticed recently in the papers that the organization of a warehouse is being perfected at that nlace. We col) ir rut w late Leesville ami wish them every success possible in this new venture. We might say that it has now passed tlie stage of ;i venture. We have been informed on reliable authority that iu tins very section that one man planted five acres in tobacco and realized more on it than the laud would have sold I for if it had been put on the market. I It may be that this was an exception. I Grant thnt- Still it must be aeknowlL edged that it is, ut least, proof of the fact that the staple can be successfully grown cn our soil. At one time a small qauntity was planted at Lexing. ton by inexperienced bands and the production was marvelonsly large. I This shows tllat it is not only the 1 I Lu esville section of our county which is adapted to the raising of tobacco, | Sggj! but that tli re are other sections in i which it may be successfully grown. Another tiling to consider is tba W\,rsoil will not raise as large a crop i | - , I. if I k* another oo account of the diffefrence n fertility, and it is claimed by exM?rts that one soil wi'l produce it much < in.ir grade than another. South of the ' rxports who have been at Leesvllle <ave it as their opinion that the soil i common to Lexington county was adapted to the raisiug of a very line grade of tobacco, We do not claim ally extensive knowledge of this industry, but these ideas have been gathered from here BHU }UIIUt*ruuu or? viiruvr 11 vuv lU M" farmers of this and neighboring cr ^ ties that tliey may look in* o ^ production of this Crop, Th er<j" ^ ^ question ab ut it. It Worth the while of an iovestigat?'j0# it may lu, that some day l.exi .,^t0n county will grow toba- co extensively. Who knows.'' It may '0,, t>?*? very crop adapted to this soil. If a half-way success can be made of i:, it will beat the raising of cotton all to pieces. The Advocate has the interest of its conn y at heart and is always ready to lend u helping hand t?, aid rejoice at her prosperity. We most come to a clear understanding of our possibilities if we would succeed. We cannot afford to lose golden opportunites. I.ook into the tobacco industry ! tor the past two or three months the tewns along the Southern road bevtween Colombia and Augusta have been inconvienced, so far us the mail facilities ere concerned,to an extent that endurance and patien -e cease to be a virtue. No day passes without all local mail, as well us that from the north, being delayed from one to three hours. Kxtra trains are run, but no provisions for carrying the mail on these trains are made. The United States is responsible for providing mail facilities; the authorities at Washington let the uontructH for carrying the mails to the various railroad companies in the country. There are certainly required stipulations as to time of delivery of mails in the contracts signed by the companies with the postal dep.ntment. The rapid transit of the mails and their quick delivery is just as im { portant as passenger tratllc. There may be more money in the latter, hence j tl.eir Willi11 IT 11 ess to nut on ex t rn t rni ns The delaying of our mails works greater haidships upon our people j than failure to provide sufficient and : proper means for passenger travel; be-! cause so many more are aireeted there- : by. If there ia a disposition on the part of the railroad companies to provide extra means for delivering uiail on time, then it is the duty of the postollice department to provide mail agents for these specials. No one cares to read a paper after it is twelve hours old to say nothing of the great annoyance and i neonvenience of haviug private and business letters de'^ynl indeinitulv. For tlie simple reason that w? have no mul facilities, many people ar* paying up and Stopping their subscriptions to the daily papers. The inconvenience is not confined to liatesburg, but from every town between Columbia and Augusta vigorous protests and cries for relief have gone up. There ought to be a mnedy. The only suggestion we" have to ort'er is that the citizens of liatesburg gel up a petition to the poat-oflice department and get Trenton, Rdgelield, Aiken, Join stun, Leisville, Lexington and otl er towns effected to take similar action aud this might accomplish something. Another source of relief might be I through our representative in Wash- I iugtou. Strong letters from several j influential citizens of this section to | Senator Tillman and Congressman Lever would imerest them in our be half.

The president is going too far in his quixotic attempt to demonstrate, his regit id for negroes and in the end lie will injure his party " Southern senators and representatives h ?ve already protested that the President, in his insane desire to capture tiie negro votes, would precipi- i tale race hatred and stir up strife and their predictions have been sustained by ilie mass meeting held here this week for the ''promotion of the causes " of the negro"' at which .latnes II ci 11a ves, whom Mr, Roosevelt would I term *an educated negro" declared," d the time has come when the negro must light not theorticallv, not intellectually, hut light with his hands. 1 ain afraid we are anarchistic, that we s are anarchists, and 1 give the warning that if this oppression in the South continues the negro must resort to the a sword and the torch and that the p Southland will become that of blood and desolation." The mail who presided oxer this meeting was Cyrus i Field Adams, "another educated r micro"and assistant registrar of the n Treasury, the negro whom Mr. Roose- . veil invites to the White House sooial " eiitcrtaii nients.
