MAKE THEIR CORN!
Darlington f armers finthuscd
Over the Williamson Plan.
THE CORN 'CONGRESS
Held at Darlington Thursday Was a Remarkable
Gathering. Splendid Testimony
Given as to the Success
to be Attained from the
Use of This| Method.
The " Williamson Corn ^ongrass"
Held its lirst session In the County
Court Ilousa at Darlington on Thursday,
Dao. 13, 19C0. It was a unique,
romarkable and Interesting gathering.
Intelligent farmers who are Interested
iu furthering agriculture came
together, rubbed elbows with heir
neighbors, aod diecussod notonl> the
Williamson theory of making ,m,
but the practical results of following
that theory or method. It w^s &
proud day for Mr E. Mclvcr Wll <am
son. It must have done blm go~d t_o
have heai d ono intelligent farmer \f fcer
another get up and, as If atari ''ex
perlence meeting," tell ofhiseffo^ts to
follow Mr. Williamson's method and
without a single discordant note, hoar
of bow pleased the speaker was with
the results of his efforts.
A short synopsis of what several
said 1b given below, from which It
may resdlly be Heon that undo/' the
Williamson method the yield per aero
is from two to tlireo times as great as
under the old plan.
JTI.AN IB LESS KXTKNSIVK,
Leaving out the qui ation of the cost
of fertilizers, those who testified today
declare that It Is much less expensive
to cultivate a crop of corn under
tiie Williamson plan than It is under
the old plan. It is not the purpose
of the ocrrespondant of The
News and (Jourler in this article to go
Into details and tell how It is much
less expamuve, as abo^o asserted, but
he is basing the assertion on the
statements made by the mauy intelligent,
practical farmers who spoke
Thursday, and who did toll how it is
done.
Then, too, many of those who
spoke deolare that the increased value
of their land, the result of the growth
of vegetable matter left on It when
the Williamson plan Is followed, is so
much greater than when the old plan
Is followed, that they believe that it
will pay for the fertilizers used. Several
remarked that they would uot
exchange the fertilizing matter on
their soil for the price paid for the
fertilizer* used. Tnere is muoh that
oould bo written to prove that under
Mr. Williamson's plan of making oom
cue South need no longer look to the
West for that article, but the direct1
testimony of those who have experi
men ted, not ouly one year, but i'or
several years, *1)1 possibly have more
weight with the reading public and
the farmers generally tt-au could any
other way of presenting the faeS(?.
Mr. Williamson opened the meeting
today with a few romarks as to
tho purpose of the gathering, and thtn
called Mr. Robert H. Rogers to ib:
ohair to preside over the meeting. Mr.
A.J. Howard, was requested to seive
as seorotary.
' Mr. Williamson served the mcot'ng
by playing the lawyer and cross-ex
aminlng those who testified.
GIVE T1IEIU EXPERIENCES.
Mr. ii I!. Rogers repeated the re
suits of his experiments with the
"Williamson pine" as ^ivat\ In The
News: and Courier a few cays ago, a: d
addua * bat fhilo there had b au some
adverse criticism because of tae u *
of the word "hunt." Still he thinks
It very cxprofslve, and \ farmer has
but to look in his dictionary for tL?
meauing if the word.
II? quit planting corn f< r savrr*'
ytais he au.ie he could u t "make
ends meet" with six to ten bushels lo
the acre.
He Is now plant.ng unrlsr the V/11
lianas plan and It 1s protHablt:, as he
Is making more tnan fifty buuhelH to
the acre.
Mr. J. B. Elwards, uuder the old
plan, male from eight to twelve boshels
per acre. lift new makes fort to
fifty bushels on the s^roe lands.
"My lands," ne sail "t.ro very
much 1mproved by the "Wllba'nacu
plan. The vegetable matter left on
the land as a result of the plan followed
i1 worth more than tho fertiliz
er costs me."
Mr. James W. Goodson formerly
made eight to flft.jn bushels per
aore. Udder tho "Williamson plan"
nc and Ms neighbors now mah from
fifty to one hundred bushels par lore
with about 800 to 1,000 pounds of fer
tillzsr, or tbout $10 per aoro. )a a
tcit he made on about three acres fifty-two
and a half bushels on one acre
by the Williamson plan, thirty bush
els under the old plan. The same conditions,
same fertilizer and same
amount f work wore Riven eact,
Mr j. Rogers, of Society ITill,
has cn experimenting with the plan
for about four years and from forty
bushels per aore the year he began he
is now making about seventy bushels
per acre. He finds that the closer he
follows the "Williamson plan" the
better the results. He makes three
times more oorn now than under the
old plan. This la not a good year for
corn?too wet. But the plan Is the
best in either wet or dry years.
Mr. Charlton Law has tried the
ft
plan this year, and Is satisfied that It
is ail right. He has been making 15
hunhels per acre formerly, but made
15 bushels this year.
F. W. Law followed the plan on 24
acres and made 40 bushels per acres.
O i 40 acres last year, with 500 pounds !
of fortillz r, he made a third less of
corn than he made on 24 acres this
year, with 800 pounds of fertilizers.
has 8kkn a nkw light.
Wayne G. King says he made about
00 bushels per acre, with $7 15 per
acre. His neighbor, R 8. Grant,
over in Chesterfield County, Is a good
farmer, and has always been regarded
as a good "corn farmer." He uBed to
lire <n Marlboro County, and thought
they knew over there batter how to
grow corn than anywhere else. lie
adopted the "Williamson plan" this
year and made 7(1 bushels per aero,
and under the old plan he has made
15 to 20 bushels per aore. Same lauds,
same conditions.
L^nds are, under the new plan,
very much improved.
Mr. Robert K James says that ho
has followed who plan, and is pleased
with It, and satisfied it will b? generally
adopted. His yield of corn is
from two to three Mmaa greater than
under the old plan.
O. 11. Ellis thinks that the plan Is
ho far superior to the old plan that
no comparison can bo made. He lias
followed the plan for eleven years.
Leav ng cut the question of fertil
'zjrs, IP.e Williamson plan of making
corn coits much lean than the old
plan.
A.J. Howard used ltat year $150
wortL fertilizer on 40 acres, and
made 250 bushel* of corn. This year,
on 50 acres, with $100 worth of fertilizer,
he made 1,500 bushels of oorn.
Mr. David R (Joker talked of the
plan and of his experiments in pulling
and not pulling fodder. Where the
fodder was pulled the yield w&h 42
bushels per :xrc; where cut and shuck
ed 45 bushels per acre; where fodder
not pulled 49 bushels per acre.
He experlmeuted with alfalfa and
Bermuda grass. He paid $400 for an
acre In town and spent money In addition
for fences, work, fertilizer, etc.
but thinks this 1h one of the best investments,
ho has made this year.
He spoke of the necessity for selco
ting seed and for using the same, not
only in oorn, hut la other plants. Mr.
(Joker exhibited quite an interesting
lot of specimens of his efforts to increase
who yield of cotton and the
length of the st&nle.
PECULIAR ACCIDENT.

Allen IIugbeB, a Degro who lived on
the place of Mrs. Emma K. Miller,

Timed tt*vu Changed,
When the Connecticut people held
the negroes in slavery It was' against
tho law to teach them to read. But
when they sold themselves to the people
of the South they changed some*

who died seventy live years ago. and
who was imprisoned for teaching
colored girls to read and write, Is now
about to be honored by Waterbury.
A big granite boulder rough in struo*

COTTON 18 KINO.
THK GEN HUB SHOWS THIS TO BK
THE CASE
And That ?8outh Carolina is an Im
portant Fart ofjthe
Throne.
Census bulletin^ No. 03, on the
"supply and distribution of the out*
ton" fur the year ending Aug. 31,
1000, contain* many comparative tigures
aud other facts of interest in addition
to the statistlceB about the last
cotton crop, which The Columbia
State points out in the following editorial:
The suggestion ja madp that the law
be changed so that the "cotton year"
shall ciose July 31, instead of Aug. 31,
as now. Toe cbai ged conditions Id
cotton growing maice this recommendation
praoMcal. Several hundred
thcusir.d tr.ics cf s^oh "cow crop"
now onmo in during August, so the
crop? sic always merged. If the year
begins July 31, each crop will stand
ov itself. This is particularly desirable
stuce glnuers' reports are now bo
cepied as the basis for the census crop
bulletins,
iahlou growers are more interested
In the distribution than the yield of
the 1905 06 crop.- There were two
mlliiOQ and ten thousand bales less ex
ported of that crop than of the one
just previous. Yet mills In Europe
have ail this year been running full
time. Does not that Indicate that
foreign mills have this year been operating
on a narrow margin of stocks
and will have to replenish or acquire
safe margins out of the crop now on
the market? We can Bee how the export
demand oan be 1,600,000 bales
greater than on the 1906-06 orop.
The State has several times said
that the average annual Increase of
consumption is 400,000 bales. Where
does that Increase oorao from? Not
from England, where the Increase in
quantity of American manufactured
cotton has been slow. It Is ohletiy In
Amerloa and on the Continent of Europe.
In the fifties, Southerners looked
upon Now E ig.and as a largo cotton
manuiaeturing centre. It is difficult
for us to roallxv therefore, that
South Carolina manufactured as muoh
cotton laat year as the average of thai
manufactured in the United States In
1856 and 18571
Twenty-live years ago England im
ported 2,433,264 bales of our cotton;
last year her Imports from the same
source were 3,181,143 bales anlnorease
of about 30 per cent. In the same period
Germany's Imports of our cotton
advanced from 308,693 to 1,871,442;
Franoe took 359,694 bales in 1880; that
1 wiift lnr.rnAtinrl t.n Ml 7 KK3 l*u?\ uaa*
Italy Imported only 69,120 In 1880;
last year 486,097. Twenty-live years
ago Japan and Canada imported praoally
the samo quantity?about 19,000
bales; last year one took 1?7,000, the
other 142.000 bales.
Massachusetts with 8,904,725 spindles
holds a very long lead. South
Carolina is second with 3,807,304, just
a million more than North Carolina,
which takes third place, Rhode Island
being fourth among the cottOD
manufacturing States Georgia Is
ahead of Nuw Hampshire, which
stands in sixth place. Rut as the
Northern mills consume much less
cotton per spindle on account of the
liner grado of goods they manufacture,
the two Carolines consume,
116,000 more bales last year than
Massachusetts.
The cotton growing States had
203,822 Idle spindles?-30 per cent, of
all the idle eplndles in the whole
country?and scarcity of labor is tho
reported cause.
The production of cotton in the
U.itttd Spates increased from 6,765,359
hales in 1880 C'J 725 602 Itsl year,
> in;e the consumption In the United
S'.aus m the same period increased
from 1 570.344 to 4,909,479 bales.
VV lthlu i he lasi six years the consumption
in the cotton growing States In'
creased 55.8 i er cent.; in the New
Eugl&ud States 7.8 per cent., and in
Ail othe r States 8 per cent. Are not
the mlllo "doming to the cotton?"
The lmp>rLance of the China Lrade
to the South is shown in the fact T.hat
while our cotton exports la 1895
amounted to but $1,723 29 4, last year
tlley ere V4iu0u $29,814,075 -or
13 Uudck the total takings of all Con
tra.1 America. The census bulletin
initio Hiiuv.s that cotton Is king and
that South Carolina is an important
pars of the throne.
Daring llobbery.
One of the most daring robberies of
recent times in Russia was committed
iii win reJtersuurger international
bank Wednesday afternoon, when &
number of robbers escaped with $14,500,
the entire cash of the bank,

at the counter and ordered the

, shot tho policeman on duty. They
then rltlod the cash drawers and ran
off. A foroe of Oorsaoks pursued the
obbersand oaptured five of them, but
tho rest got away with the money.

KUBAL DELIVERY.
FEWER APPLICATIONS FOR 1
ROUTES THAN FORMERLY.
Fpurth Assistant Postmaster General's (
Report on the Work of His ]
Department.
The annual report of P. V. Da- Oraw,
fourth assistant Postmaster .
General, for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1906, indicates that there (
has been a material decrease all over
the oountry in petitions for free de* '
livery servioe. The olimax in the
development In the rural delivery of
mall was reached in the fiscal year 1
1904, when the service was Installed
9,477 routes. At that time the ave- '
rage number of petitions filed per
month was 700. This average was (
maintained during the ilBoal year
1905, but during the past lineal year *
th* number of petitions filed was
4,687, a monthly average of 390. Of *
this number 3,720 were accepted for
investigation.
At tho end of the year 1897, when
the free delivory was established, 1
there were 83 carriers, the appropriation
for maintenance was $40,000, ]
and other expenditures incident to ,
the servico amounted to $14,840. In *
1006 carriers numbered 36,696, the (
appropriation was $25,828,300 and "
other expenses amounted to $24,785,
256. 1
In the number of routes in opera- ,

Maryland 385 Mlwslsslppt 303, North ]
Carolina 1,162, South Carolina 538
and Virginia 833. ]
Since J&Duaiy 1, 1908, increased efforts
havo been made by road otlleials ]
in many States to scoure the cooperation
of the Postoffloa Department in l
the improvement of public highways
in whlci rural delivery service has ]
been established. The department is
now actively engaged in aiding road t
ctllolals In many sections of the
Northwest to better their condition ]
in this respect. The mothco of prooadure
Is for the road otliolals to send \
out toeaoh rural carrier a blank con
talnlng questions to be answered by ]
him In regard of the roads; the materials
of which they ere composed; how i
often worked and In what manner,
the condition of bridges and culverts ]
and whether suitable road building
material Is available in the neighbor- !
hood.
In States wbiph have not yet or t
ganized State high way commissions,
the department is co-operating with ]
the Department of Agrioulture In
bringing about organized efforts for ]
road improvement.
There are now 36,666 oarriers em- t
ployed and of this number 13,366 are
tindlug it neoessary to employ two ;
and sometimes three horses on their
routes. The cost of hortos and their
maintenance varies greatly throughout
the oountry, but a moderate estimate
of the original average cost of
horses and vehicles is $275, and the
estimated average cost of maintain
ing an outfit is about $250 por annum i
! Attention is oalled to the faot that 1
leginlr.tion Hhould be enacted requlr
lug Ihe following conditions to the i
establishment of routes in the futuro: i
That there shall ho not less than 100 .
families on a standard route of
twent-four miles; that roads must be !
in good condition; that the maximum
salary of carriers be increased so that
they may be paid not more than $900 <
per annum. 1
