IIPARDONS GRANTED j T01,600 CRIMINALS This is the Record for One Day in the Term of Gov Blease ALL PREVIOUSLY PAROLED ' On Condition of Good Behavior. ?Proclamation States That "* Docs not Apply to Paroles Granted With Other Condition. On last Snturdov Governor Tllense granted a full pnvlrn t> abovt 1500 persons whom he ha ' nvolod during good behavior since the rear 1911. By one stroke of his pen he gave executive clemency to this great number who had violated nearly every law of the State. This action, though it did not give liberty to any prisoners now in the state penitentiary nor upon the publicworks of any of the counties, places the pardon record of Governor Bleasc above that established by any person enjoying that power as a governor of any state, according to best information obtainable here. In addition to this blanket pardon, i Governor blease also granted pardons paroles and commutations to 34 prisnnpi's in f Vin of ?> ^ - ' ... < . vuv oww [iciuifiaicu y and or j the counties' public works. This blanket pardon to an estimated ' number approximating 1,500 men and women was worded as follows: ."Proclamation "State of South Carolina?Executive Chamber.

MIND YOUR BUSINESS' (liy Hiram Wallace.) I believe that the farmers; ihi alt parts of the country paj* too^ muck attention to other peoples?' business, and not enough to their own.. The farmer must understand that his farm is, a manufacturing plant and that he is a business man the same as any other individual who is engaged in turning a finished or partly finished product, r unning therefore is a business.. It needs attention and a lot of it if the plant is to be efficient and the product is ot be marketed for what it is worth. But the farmer is not minding his own business. He lets another iVtn m!?L-r? tl,o l,vi/,nc! (i v f 1,., wnfno , ikV?i I MIMW V11V f'1 4V<V 1 1 A tuu *1 < l> V.L.O he is to receive for the output of his plant. The fellows in the cities, the stock-yards men, the warehouse men, the cold-storage men, the commission men tlie butter, milk, cheese and egg men, these are the persons who fix the prices the farmer is to receive and and the prices the retailers are to pay And you may be sure that between these two prices there is a comfortable profit for the man in the middle although all that he does is to stand there between the two extremes of the transaction. Hut that is his business and he is attending to it. So lie gets oil" at Prosperity Station. Supose that all the farmers in each iiisti'U't vvpro niurn 11170/I ? V V/. ^V?IK(IVM. that they follow the plan of the Florida or the California fruit growers. Things would be different. Hut it is hard to make the average farmer understand this. He will listen to the arguments of reformers and take a day off to vote for this or that freak law to prohibit something that does not atfect him at all and that, therefore is not his business. But he will spend no time to come into town to at Lend a meeting that bears directly on his business?farming. He will vote for a constitutional amendment to prohibit the use of cigarettes, for instance, when the chances are that nei ther he nor any member of his family uses cigarettes. So he is not minding his own business. His business is to raise the best grain, vegetables, fruit, poultry or stock that he can; to see that he is provided with a cheap and \nd sure means of getting these products to market and get the best possible price at the market place. He cannot do these things; fey acting independently. He and his neighbor* must get together, act together and stick together. It may be admitted that some farmers are awakening to the fact that they are business men i and are conducting their plants as if they were business institutions. But the great majority of these producers are just beginning to realize that it is only by acting in concert that the greatest good can be accomplished. Mr. Farmer, you who read this, are you minding your business? ODD BITS OF NEWS Mrs. William Bonner of Copake, N. V., awoke and saw a horse standing in the snow near the freight depot. An hour later the horse was still here and she called up Constable Reynolds. He left his warm bed, walked three miles and started to lead the horse away when he discovered it was a wooden horse, consigned to a local harness maker.

President Hotel Sherman* Chicn^o;)1 1 j The problem of find ins, -now uses for American eotton, or of piUTjnyt these ? uses into effect is onet which the T> American people must -iolve, if we 0 would have substantial prosperity in n this country. About 18 months ag r? \vhe? I was buying furnishings and bquipaient for . the Fort Dearborn hotel1,, my attention ^ was brought to something I never had ^ seen or heard of before4?ronton napkins and-tablecloths or fa. Hi'giter quali-1 .y t.v, and usable in an up^-to-dvate hotel j? and restaurant. Tlffeee gwods were made in Austria. ^ After considering the matter, I ^ placed my order for''be entire equipment of tablo nnnorv frr.r- thia V?r?fol ^ ? - *;a The cost was about 25 per cent, ot about one-third the iost -of linen nat ^ cry. My saving on the first purchase w was very nearly $VJ9fK t I had forgotten all about my Diyr- n chase until my ?rrtfiLm from Euro.vTt, where 1 passed Isfcal summer. As s-wsn tl as I reached ho.vie, I found the cow- tl try greatly agitated over the eoHton w situation. On , -ny.ery side I heard {the, cry, "The cucton crop must be a financed! New lists must be Ijpund d for cotton'" f, In a flash i ch.ere came to rjc the n thought of my cotton naperjy nt.thft Fort Dearh>tm hotel. h I found^ am investigationt to nr?}\ n great delfght and satisfaction, that P the innovation was a greitft success, u My housekeeper showed', my clpths that had, been washed eve try day for four meoths and which loofted as good to me linen after beip^r in use for the S4?ne length of timet. The resT [ taursw?t manager infonuasd: me that h$ never would have kpajwrn thati tjhe napery was cotton ifr $ had', not so, iter f<x??ed him. At a meeting of (Chicago hotel men, I called the attenti?H> of my colleagues to these goods mmi they- were &U surprised and pleased. Many off them decided then and there to substitute cotton for linen as soon as their existing stock was exausted. | I announced that I should continue I to use cotton cloth at the Fort Dearborn hotel, and I shall adopt its use at the hotel Sherman as soon as practicable. Early this month my old friend R. D. Bowen, of Paris, Texas, called on me to get from me such information as I had on the subject. The result of the interview was that I agreed to go to Houston and Galveston, Texas, to address the Texas and; the Southern Interstate Hotel Associations and to give them my experience with cotton napery. On December 9, I addressed the hotel men in convention at the Hotel Galvez, Galveston. I showed them the samples of cotton cloths that had been in use nearly eight months, and others that had been used only two months. They were surprised and of j course were delighted to find that not only could they save about two-thirds of the old cost of the table napery. i I but that they also could help the cot- ( ton industry very materially. ^ Since I have taken up this matter ( I have discovered that-the goods, such ( as I have been using, are being made | in this country, in a large mill in | North Carolina, and sold through ad prominent commission house in New |, York. I have corresponded with the owner of {he mill, and am assured that he can reproduce the foreign ar- , i tide exactly, and in large quantities, and can increase the production if there is a demand for it. That cotton napory can be substituted for the linen heretofore used is,! ' to my mind, beyond question. What we want now is concerted action nad cooperation. If every hotel, restaurant, dining ' ' 1 car system, boarding house, hospital,! , and private family in the United . States from now on will purchase cot[ ton tablecloths and napkins, and also towels and other house hold articles that have heretofore been made of linen, it is my judgment that from 400,000 to r>00.000 bales of cotton will be used up annually, and thus a new and enlarged outlet be furnished for the raw cotton.

Farm wealth of the United States, estimated at $40,000,000,000, should )e the basis on which the prosperity )f the country rests permanently, yet here is no adequate law under which o finance the farm. That was the condition described at St. Joseph, Mo., ast week at the Interstate Agricultural Congress by W. C. Brown, former president of the New York Central Railroad. "The establishments of farm credits is one of the most important questions now before the nation," Mr. Brown said. "The farmer is paying twice the interest he should. Long time loans at a low rate would enable | the farmers to properly finance his | his work and it is this financing upon which depends to a large degree the 1 prosperity of the country." CO-OPERATIVE FARMING In this age of co- operation, in which manufacturing and commercial interests have attained wonderful dev\ lopment and success by merging i hnir ?1 A - 1 .^ww.wr., ii, is mil to ri(> wonder. (i at tint co-operation has slowly hut inevitably wended its way into rural life. The old method of individualism is gradually giving way to the co-op-j native spirit and the result is a < greatly reduced cost of living and lessened expense of farming. South Carolina farmers are leading 'lit' co-operative movement and it is j gradually being extended into every I feature of community life.
