. GOOD ROADS.
' President Finley of tlie South
ean Railway deserve* the thanks
of the entire 8onth for bis very
interesting letters on pertineut
subjects. We give below ex
tracts from a letter received by
us from him which we take
pleasure in commending to you.
We indorse every word of it, and
hope that it will bear good fruit.
Something must be done to cor
rect the evil of bad roads, not
merely for our material welfare,
but to draw the people o( the
town and couutry into closer aud
more friendly communication.
-It ciiuuot be denied that at pres
ent there is a slight feeling or
rtntagouism in the minds of many
country citizens towards those
of the towns uiycl cities, which
feeling could be eutirely wiped
out if ilie public highways were
iu such condition that the dcni
zens of the towus could wilu u
degree of comfort take u day ofT
now uiul then and s|>eiid it with
Ins or her country frieuds. This
would relieve4lie feeling of cool
uess and stand-offishness which
many of our couutry friends
imagine exists amoug the town
people towards them, a feeling
we tuuy say,which docs not ex
ist.
The following are the ex
tracts:
"If i!*e farm is to be profitable
it must uot merely produce abun
dant crops, but its products must
be put where they can be sold.
By whatever means of trans
portation they may ultimately
be carried before they reach the
iiual consumer, our farm pro
K ducts move primarily over the
couutry highway, and the cou
dition of the road leading from
the farm to the shipping point
or to a uear by consuming oen
ter, such as a manufacturing
town, effects materially the pro
tits of the farmer aud the vulue
or his farm. The condition of
the road controls tho sizo of the
loud that can be hauled over ii
and the speed at which it can be
carried. Any improvment by
which the farmer is enabled to
carry, \vitl? the sa.Tie vehicle and
the same team, a load seventy ti ve
or on* hundred percent heavier,
will result in substantial saving!
In his time and iu the wear and
learof bis vehiclos and teams.
The construction of good roads
loading from a market town has
practically the same effdet as
bringing the farms nearer to the
town. It extends by several
miles in every direction the area
of territory in which farmers
can profitably engage in market
gardening and dairying. That
this is true lias been effectively
demonstrated in those loculities
in the Mouthern States and in
other sections of the country
whore road improvements have
'ii'oii curried out intelligently
uii'l systematically.
The coat to the farmer of haul
;ng Ins products over poor roads
is not nlway? appreciated, for
the reason that it is rare ilml a
farmer pays for haviug his haul
ing done. The United States
Department oi Agriculture has
made an investigation of this
mutter v however, and the re
sculls show tho cost for cotton,
for instance, to be an average
rate of twenty seven cents per
? ton per mllo for an avor.ige haul
?' II H miles. That road Ira
,??? '.urni would materially re
. ii ? i In;*"cost is shown by the
following striking statement in
the Year Book of the Agricul
turn I Department for 1900:
VIf it were possible to increase
(h?? average weight of a wagon
> ii) ,.f col inn in the United
f???!??) three bales, as it
n io four bales, without
ir.ctraMng the cost of haul
ing the loud, the saving on a
crop equal to the one picked in
1005 would amount to $2,000,000;
aud if the averuge load of wheat,
a >?r 55 b?sbel%Jfc<b mcm>?ri
by SO bnshet vlbe^u*** effected |
in having a cnm like that* of
IM firouId be -Sore tliac$8,
000,000.* - *
I think it my truthfully be
??id tliat there are few matters
of each general importance toi
all the people of any community |
us the provision of good roads,
and I believe, therefore, that all
of us who huve the prosperity
of the' 8outli at neart should do
all in our power to uid in the
creation of a public opinion
favorable to road improvement.
The system that should be udoot
ed by any locality is one on wtiich
ifc would not. be proper for me
to tender advice, even if I were
qualified lo do so. It is neces
sarily a matter that can best be
delei mined by tliS*" people di
rectly interested and who are
acquainted.. with the peculiar
u&lds and conditions of their
neighborhoods."
Do Not Rush Cotton on the
Market.
The Farmers' Uniou urges her
members and farmers generally
not to rush their cotton oujjic
market ut the preseut prices,
which ure below the cost of pro
ductiou. Every bale of cotton
beiug sold istaUeu from the pro
ducer at $20 'per bale less than
its real value. Who is the beu\
011 the market? Is it not
the producer? If you would re
fuse to talce tlieprice offered,
the speculators will have to
give your price. Can you do
better? Cerlaiuly you cau. The
Farmers' Union has been offered
all tho motley uecessary if we
will ouly put our coltou in bonded
warehouses. Tuo Union has
a number of warehouses, and the
Standard Warehouse Company
is also in position to store colton
aud issue receipts. The lutter
compauv can store 70,000 bales
aud issue receipts which will be
negotiable at any bank. Ar
raiigemeuts have been made for
carrying your cottou for yon if
you will but co-operate. If fa
ther information regarding this is
desired address the undersigned
at Pendleton, S. C. I would ad
vise any one putting their cot
ton iu warehouses to arrange for
money for six mouths ut least.
Is it good judgemeut to ware
house cotton? I will answer
yes, it is always good^iudgement
to warehouse any product when
it sells below production, and
conditions will certaiuly warrant
it now.

has notbingtoda She til fray a
thinks oaly of haying a good
timo. She does not do enough
work to even givfluher plenty of
exercise. She always has her
carriage brought around to her
door and then goes to parties,
balls and such things. She does
n>t even try to help some poor
people that are in ueed. If I
had inherited a million dollars I
would spend some of my time
helping to educate some help
less children. The former comes
near being honest, and of course
I had rather luve au honest hus
band. I had rather wear rugs
than to cheat somebody out of
their living. I prefer living on
the farm, because I cau have my
chiciceus to work with and my
garden to see ufter. Also my
house. Anyone is betler off
with something to do, You
know the old sayiug is, "Idle
ness is the workshop of the
devil. * And I think it is true.
It is a pleasure for a farmer's
wife to get a picture to go iu her
dining-room, but a rich lady
thinks nothing about it. I think
it is real nice to have a flower
garden to work. A farmer's
wife may be plain- but she can
cook good and tir up a picnic
dinner that anybody w6u!d eat.
Some mil lion tires uiarry with
out the least speck of love. But
it is not very often that the
farmers do. Even if a farmer's
wife does have a bad time oc
casionally, it is not always be
cause she is not loved by her
husband. If I do- not marry a
farmer it certainly wont be a
millionaire.?Ada Williams, Iu
crease, Miss.
Praise Your Town.
When you pull down'the town
in which is your home, you are
pulling down yourself. Banish
from your mind the mistaken
id.t that all good things are
away off iu some other locality.
Give your town all the praise it
can legitimately near. It cer
tainly will do you no harm and
will cost you uothing; and above
all patronize your home institu
tions?including the printing
office.?Ex.

The officers of the Woman's
Home Missionary Society having
tins work in charge take pleasure
in announcing Miss M. Ella
Stewart of Providence, R. I., as
j superintendent for the follow
ing year. Miss Stewart may be
remembered by all as the very
eflicieut superintendent who in
the early days of the home luid
the foundation of its policy and
established precedents which
have through all its history made
it ono of the most successful ot
the Industrial Traioiug schools
for colored people in the South.
/ Miss Stewart is an educated
woman, a member of one of the
leading churches of Provideuce,
and a devoted christian.
They would also announce
M?ss Mary E. Lough of the Do
mestic Science Training schools
of Boston us in.il run and Miss
Flora Li. Sappof Ohio Wesleyan
Uuiversily as music teacher.
And 11.is with devoutgratitude
they .furlher announce ilie re
turn of Miss Francos V. Russell,
the very successful principal of
Mallier Academy for severul
years. God has grueiously rais
ed her u?W rom Ihe very grates
of death utid restored her to her
accuslometl place.
We are sorry for the ruin Ihe
U >ods have wrought but trust
tlnj superior promise of the
school for the coining year will
encouruge the former pupils to
return and other parents to send
their girls although at a great
sacrifice. The slight increase in
cost for board and tuition from
live to six dollars per month has
been necessitated l>y the ad
vanced cost of living.
The school opens Oct. 1, 1908.
