A medical journal enters an earnest protest against what is considered an abnormal use of elevators and street cars. It says that it will "atrophy the human race," or at least that part of It living where such step saving conveniences abound. It is easy to exaggerate danger, but after all there is much force in what the paper says. Probably the most effective and health sustaining exercise is walking, and certainly it is one of the most pleasurable. It therefore follows tliaf fill AVAl* I n /I nl crnr* A/\ I MI? w T VI tllU UI5^U\/U 114 IHC UOW of street cars and other conveyances means less exercise by walking and the result is not good.

His (Jrt'Ht ami Abundant (Vops Are the Harbingers of a Most Prosperous Era. The tariff is behind us. In many respects it is imperrect, but the agitation is out of the way and the American people will now adjust themselves to conditions, as they exist, says the Manufacturers' Record, whieh goes 011 to point this glowing pict ure: That we are entering upon a period of vast business expansion seems to be beyond question. Consider for a moment the fundamental conditions in the fundamental business?that of agriculture. Unless present crop conditions materially change it is quite probable that the total value of agricultural products for 1909 will aggregate $8,800,000,000 or in the neighborhood of $500,000,000 inoro than the total of 1908, which was nearly $100,000,000 greater than the preceding year. The most remarkable fact In our business history is this amazing progress In agriculture. The farmers of this country are enjoying greater prosperity than was ever known before by the agricultural interests of this or any other land. The value of farm products in 1880, 1 890 and 1 900, and for each year since 1905 have been as follows: 1880 $2,21 2,000,000 1 890 2,466,000,000 1900 4,717,000,000 1905 6,415,000,000 1906 6,794,000,000 1907 7,4 12,000,000 1908 7,800,000,000 1909 (estimated) 8,200,000,000 In the ten years from 1880 to 1890 the increase In the value of farm products was so triflingly small that it averaged only one per cont a year, or $250,000,000 for ten years, hardly one-half of what the increase in the present year will be over last year. In other words, the Increase in the value of farm products in one year is now tice as great as the increase in ten years between 1880 and 1990. Between 1890 and 1896 there was very little progress, but then began a marvelous advance which has continued without abatement ever since; by 1900 the total value was $4,717,000,000. Since \tl$en the momentum has continued until in the last three years, estimating 1909, tho aggregate value of farm products is about $23,500,000,000. This is more than twenty times as much as the combined capital of all the national banks in the United States. To this wonderful advance, this amazing growth in wealth, la largly due the quick revival of business from the panic" of 1907. It was this condition that saved us from a long period of great industrial depression, and it is this fundamental condition for maverous development which assures an expansion of business much greater than our country has yet seen. Present indications point to the possibility of a corn crop of over 3,000,000,000 bushels, possibly 500,000,000 bushels more than last year. With the high prices ruing for wheat, corn and cotton, abounding prosperity seems to be assured. With the tariff out of the way; with mangniflcent crops, some harvested and some practically assured, the decks have been cleared for action. The winner of the battle for success will be the one who is ready to do business; who makes his readiness known far and wide. The way to do this is to advertise. PARCHED HY DROUGHT. Corn Crop in Northern Virginia Almost a Failure. Dispatches from Winchester, Va., says the great corn field of Northern Virginia are burning up. The severest drought of years is prevailing and for more than six weeks little if any rain has fallen In the Shenandoah and Page valleys. Streams are lower than for years and many are dry. The corn crop will he almost a total failure, while all growing crops are cut short. Should the drought prevail much longer the apple crop, which gave fine promise, will be seriously afflicted. Thousands of dollars have already been lost to tho farmers and each day the loss increases. The railroads are leriously troubled, hay fields being set on fire by passing locomotives and valuable property damaged. Killed by Accident. At Spartanburg Henry Wyatt, aged twenty-seven years, car inspector of tho Southern at Spartanburg Junction, was killed Wednesday morning by being run over by a freight car. Tho body was shipped to Helton, in Anderson county, his former home, for llnterment. He was a very popular young man. r GIVES HIS PLAN PRESIDENT PEKRITT, OF THE FA11MEK8' UNION ISSUES AN Address to tlie Farmers of the State Asking Their Co-op*'rat ion and Hearty Support. Mr. A. J. A. Perritt, the new president of the State Farmers' Union, has issued the following opeu addros to the members of the order: In assuming the duties of president ol' the Farmers' organization of South Carolina, I feel profoundly the groat responsibility and opportunities that lie out before me. I now become the public servant of an organized body of men looking to the full development and betterment of every enterprise and interest that is in accord with the principles of equity and justice. To this end, I invoke the hearty co-operation of every man in South Carolina, but more especially do I plead for the assistance of every man of that distinguished and representative body of planters who, in convention assembled, did, on July JOth, thrust this responsibility upon me. I fully appreciate the honor, duties and ditllculties that must attend the efforts of any one in edu ating and organizing the planters of South Carolina, so that they may know best how to advance and protect their interests. I plead for sympathy and co-operation from men in other walks of life, because agricultural prosperity means progress and vitality to every other line of business. The machinery to fertilize, cultivate ami market our products is too complex and expensive, and to insure success to our various enterprises, must be simplified and reduced to a minimum of expense. Let our organization press home material Into the field, study the principles set forth in the preamble of our constitution, relying upon personal effort, regardless of ridicule, harsh criticism or the lack of confidence reposed in our ability and intelligence by others, and the time Is at hand when our planters will be that happy contented people, will be that exponent of power and prosperity which have always and will ever give life, energy and purpose to the callings and professions of all men. We know that It is impossible to enlist the support and allegiance of all the planters, for this cannot be accomplished with any class or profession of men; but by carefully studying our needs and weak points we win soon evercise a power mai stop the leaks, that have so long drained us of our Just earnings, amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars. This saved to the planters will bring a degree of contentment and prosperity that the South has not enjoyed for over half a century. X desire to be In close touch with every local organization in the State. Hence I welcome suggestions and inquiries from every part of the State. Of course, there are many questions 1 cannot answer?there are many of our plans that no sane business man would dare divulge. There are many of our difficulties that we have yet to plan for that we may overcome them, and, by cooperation and continually and persistently acquiring' concrete knowledge of our interests, we can forge to the front and occupy that rank in our religious, social, intellectual and financial sphere that will command that respect and esteem which was accorded our fathers in antebellum days. Let every county president, as well as others, aid me to get in touch with willing, able and influential workers In their respective counties. The only way through which I hope to shako off the shackles of ignorance, doubt, suspicion and fear is by concert of action by every South Carolinan who desires permanent prosperity. A. J. A. PERRITT. Crushed by Piano. At Fitzgerald, Ga., Eugene Keefer, a wealthy man of that place, was instantly killed while helping to move a piano from a wagon in front of his home Tuesday. He slipped and fell from the wagon and the piano folflowed, crushing him to death. His wounds were terrible. Reefer's wife recently broke her arm. Resides the widow, he leaves four sons and two daughters. Slayer Telephones Sheriff. Charles Pons, one of the best known residents of Dnval county, Fla., Wednesday night telephoned to Sheriff Bowden'e residence and informed him that he had just killed his brother-in-law, Charles Wiggins, at his homo near Gravely Hill, seven miles from Jacksonville, and requested the sheriff to place him under arrest. Pons alleges that Mrs. Pons was slapped by Wiggins. Girls who carry bunches of flowers are not in danger of being arrested for carrying concealed pis? t118- I.- U.fc tl ... W* JMa.uiiA. I PRINTERS IN CONVENTION. Fifty-Fifth Ses?i?n of the International Typographical Union. At St. Joseph. Mo., tho flfty-flfih convention of tbe International Typographical Union convened Monday in the Coliseum, St. Joseph's big convention hall. Addresses of welcome were made by Mayo:* Clayton, President Burbam, of the local typographical union, and others, and a response by President Lynch of the International Typographical Union, aftor which the convention began consideration of a large volume of business, ultimately adjourning until Tuesday morning to hear the re port of the credentials committee on contest Keats. The reports of President Lynch and Secretary-Treasurer Hays show great progress made by the union, during the last year. The International Typographical Union is fifty-seven years old, and with the present gathering has held fifty-five conventions during its lifetime. In 1896 and 1908 biennial conventions were held. The International Typographical Union claims to be the oldest national or international organization of skilled labor in the world. Its sessions at St. Joseph this week are attended by three hundred delegates and eight hundred visitors. Matters of importance that are to come before the convention are propositions for the establishment of an insurance feature, and certain changes proposed in the pension policy that was made effective by the union one year ago. The relations between the union and the American New&nanor Piihlltshnrn' , w ooovv/innuu will also be up for consideration. The International Typographical Union has many features that are unique with labor organizations, and which stamp this union as one of the most progressive in the labor field. The pension policy, for instance, is distinctive with the International Typographical Union. Under the pension law, members who have reached the age of GO years and are unable to secure sustaining employment at the trade are paid $4 per week. The payment of pensions has heretofore been considered the function of the government, but in this instance the union evidently believes that Its veterans should be taken care of independent of State or nation. The payment of pensions began with the first of last August, and up to May 31, when tho union's fiscal year closed $67,680 had been paid pensioners, while the administration of the fund had cost only $2,000. The union also conducts a Home at Colorado Springs, and contributed during its fiscal year to this institution $80,518.31. The actual expense | ot conducting the Uniou Printers' Home was $72,598.94, and thoro was a balance in the Home fund of $32,337.63. The receipts and expenditures of the Home from its inception to May 31, 1909, were $867,801.29 and $835,463.66. The Homo property at Colorado Springs is valued at $1,000,000. The union pays a burial benefit of $75.00. During the fiscal year there were 509 deaths and the benefits paid uuiuumea 10 $38,175.00. For advertising its union label the union paid out $7,671.48. The expenditures of the International Typographical Union during its fiscal year were $161,544.45. From the year 1891 to 1909 the union received $6,188,045.75, am! expended $5,950,898.90, this including the Uni)n Printers' Home. Tho union has a membership of 47,174. The union also conducts a technical school at Chicago for the benefit of its members and apprentices who desire to perfect themselves in their trade. IThe sessions of the convention will continue a week. A STRANGE VISITOR. 'Possum Colls at the Sumter Postoffice for Mail. The Sumter Watchman-Southron says of all the extraordinary incidents that occur around this city, the most extraordinary and unusual happened in the postofllce Thursday night about 9 o'clock. Mr. Furman Tisdale, night clerk at the postofllce, opened the hack door of the office, and a nice fat 'possum walked in. Ho was so well pleased with his new quarters that he utterly refused to depart, and consequently the door was closed upon him and he spent a pleasant night's rest behind a box. He is now under arrest for forcing his way into government premises, mm win very probably be held, pending the arrival of President Taft-ln this State In November. Young Lady Drowns. Miss Caroline Mlddleton, the slxteon-year-old daughter of Mr. Jame9 S.
