A manufacturing fp'.unt which 1?i< 1 s
fair to develop into one of the leading |
industries of the Pee I)e section, will
begin operations about February ! "?,
when the W. II. Winbourne Company
of Conway will lie ready for business.
This company, recently chartered by
the Secretary of State and having a
paid-in capital of $2.r> 000, will engage
in various branches of the lumber
manufacturing industry. It^ officers
are \V. II. Winbourne, president antl
manager; .1. 10. Bryan, vice president;
F. A. Burroughs, secretary, and 1>. M.
Burroughs, treasurer, all of Conway.
The general business experience of all
of the ofTicers, as well as the extended
technical experience of the president
and manager, would indicate a
1 .*ir?r?* growth and development foi this

The company recently nurchased
the lot on which the building
of A. T. Collins Company formerly
stood. This, together with other holdings
of the company, will permit the
placing of 1.000.000 feet of lumber at
;i time. Already some 700,000 feet of
lumber are on the yards of the company.
f Since the purchase of this lot a wellronstru'derl
two-story building has
been practically completed. This has
sli ghtly more than I." 000 feet of floor

HOW TO REMEDY
FARMER EVILS
Compares Farmers' Condition
With That of Office
Holders
A. I'. Hatcheli, writing Cor the
Florence Times, in its issue of .Janu
,ury 12, overdraws the picture to a
' great extent, yet there is some food
for thought in what he says concerning
the condition of things and the
relation ol the farmers to this condition.
lie writes a* follows:
"The present system of taxation
and extravagance hi this state is rapidly
reducing planters, farmers and all
tillers of the soil to penury, and there
seems to he organizations throughout
i the state which are endeavoring to
| perpetuate this condition.
| "May we not oll'er a few words in
I protest ? The farmer reali/as that
I his finances are at a low ebb. He can
J not pay his farm improvement hill,
his supply hill, indeed often falling
short of paying his rent. His credit
is depleted, his wardrobe threadbare,
and his children ara going barefooted.
However, taxes must be paid, both
personal and real, ami where tne
money coming from?
The farmer tills the soil-?from the
soil comes all wealth. Agricultural
production is the basi-; of all wealth,
in fact i the basis of whole superstructure
of economic life as well
,us physical life.
Staticians tell us thai only '$0 per
rf'iit of the population ? f the United
States are farming. Vint ol* -lie 70
per cent? Perhaps ~0 per cent of
the 7(> per cent are laboring in other
Hoes and 50 p< r cent are merely p irasitos,
a few living in squalid id'eness,
while many are living in idleness ai d
lolling' in luxuries, clothed in fine raiment,
if not purple. Naturally the
farmer feels oppressed. lie is paying
the taxes to keep this stupendous
government of ours running; taxes
for the interest on billions ol bonds,
bonds for evev conceivable nurpose,
taxes to pay high salaried officers in
unnecessary, and useless o ce taxes
on land and stock and on medicines,
in fact on every necessity of life.
And soon we may expect to have a
tax on the very ai rwe breathe to support
the airmen and their planes.
\Vhv does it cost an office holdei
and liis family so much moro to live
h:in i4 dors the farmer and his family?
We understand why every one
wants a public o ce, but we don't
understand why it requires more tc
support .'in oflice holder than a farmer.
Neither do we know why it takes
more for a pretty school maim to live
on than it does a rosy cheeked farm
lassie.
"Is there a remedy? Perhaps, if
wo really wish to liel^ten the burden.
We might abolish a groat many offices,
reduce sa'arios to a reasonable
minimum. Heginning with the board
of assessors, o/ich school district coub1
} do the work as well and as fast as
tho three men now employed and paid,
Three magistrates could do all thr
woi k in the county as efliciently asthe
present number, and more, b\
bro>doning tin4 magist' rial jurisdiction
to try all c/isos up to $500, take
much time and expense oil' the count\
courts.
We might abolish entirely the ta:s
on land under cultivation, also al
taxes on teams and implements foi
, the farm, tax all money over 5 pei
cent loans, tax all motor conveyances
. according to purchase v.alue, and al
dispensable luxuries. If an equal col
, lection of taxes on money and luxur
, ies were made we could well afl*or<
to lift the tax on farm lands and giv<
! the poor, oppressed farmer a chanc(
. i to live.

CoHnnbia, Jan. 12.?This is "testing
time" in South Carolina, declared AI-'
I red Scarborough of Kastover, promi;
nent planter and member of the orj
gariization committee of the South
' Carolina Cotton (bowers' Co-operative
I Associ/ition.
<<rl here are some people in the state
who seem di posed to give up and ,
i|iiit because ol tin4 adverse conditions
due to the tremendous drop in the
price oi' cotton the past year and the
' invasion <>r the boll weevil," said Mr. ,
' Scarborough. "It takes a time like
this to find who are real men and who
are not. The real men do not give up
but fight for the better day which
must. come. We need more of ihe
spirit of 'carry on' which our people
dispViyed during the war. Also we
should think of the gloomy days of |
the sixties, nnd ret-ember what our i
fathers ami grandfathers and mothers j
and grandmothers lived through. They
did not give up.
"I am gl:id to say that there are
not many o!' tho-e peop'e who would
give up in this state, but there should
he none. Wr :>re i.v<>imi ' to come out
of this situation ail right. The boll
weevil Ivi- hit us hard this year, but
other state- have -urvived his ravages
and we can '1<> it in South Carolina.
"Personally 1 believe the organization
of the South Carolina Cotton
Growers' Co-operati' o Association the
greatest forward step that the farmers
of the st:ite have ever i/ikmi. The
successful formation of this association
will. I believe, open the doors of
opportunity to the gnAvers ol the
1 state.
"It will give them opportunity to
free themselves from the shnckles ot
1 nn\'^ri \* !i?wl fiiii! Ml'lVfll l/ill l'.ol
,,w , V,. .... ...... ... .,v,
. upoa them l>\ an outlaw marketing

"It will ^ivo them opportunity to
I'l'oak tho hands of ?>nforced obedience
to the demands of perpetual creditors
who own them bodv and soul, oven
^ to the very clothes they we,*ir and the
food they eat.
"It will give them opportunity to
t.nke th?ir little children out of the
cotton fields, away from the I ; ckbreaking
toil of other years and place
them where they have every right to]
he?in school and colleges that they
r may he moulded into capable, intellit
gent men and women. ,
j "It will give them opportunity to
give their wives and children a home
j fitted as every American home should
I he with modern conveniences, good
clothes to we;?r and \ h'>!e-<me food to
^ eat. It will 'rive tlvm opporlunitv to
r step out of the poveri v of the p.ast
int.'> the prosperity whiHi is svrn to
5 rosu 11 in the future >oni a stabilized1
cotton market and elimination of
waste and speculation between farm'
and mill.
"That the plan upon which the
i South Carolina Cotton flyovers' Co-i
operative Association is being formed
.. and will operate is sound has been
..{proven repeatedly in actual practice.
The association is making' it possible
i| for every farmer in the state to beJ
come a member on terms that all can
I meet. Are they going' to turn their
backs on this opportunity to go with
1 their brother farmers who have al(
ready banded themselves together for
their mutual profit, or are they going
to join the association, saying, "We're
with you, hoys, let's ;il! pull together |
for prosperity."

1 <)\ CONTKOUJNC RATS
I
| Clep'son Col'oo-p. ,Jan. 10.? In the
j control of rats the most injurious anij
m;il of I ho .American I'arrn and home, ]
i Ihoro .'ii'c two conditions that must ho J
observed; first, wo must stop foodinjj; i
them and providing hiding places for
thorn; secondly, whatever method of
control we undertako must l>e put into :
operation over the entire premises at.1
the same time. Rats "get wise," and
if we begin a method at one place
with a view of continuing it from
place to place as time goes on, we
will never cootrol rats. 1
I We huild seed houses, barns and
I other structures in which rats find acI
commod.'itions, without a thought of
j rat-proofing. Around the home we
store up ho\es, cans and other mate-)
! rials, furnishing excellent hiding!
places. Our food for the live stock,
ineludin": poultry, is kept in sacks orj
boxes that have no rat protection.
We allow the space between tlie
ground and floors of buildings to be
come packer! with chaff, refuse feed,]
cotton seed and seed cotton, etc. And ,
I yet we blame the rat for being a con:
stant visitor.
Whatever method of control be
/idop'od. whether it bo trapping or
poisoning, it should be undertaken intelligent
lv after a careful plan has
' eon made .covering the promises, advises
Prof. A. F. Conradi, entomologist.
On the farm one or two ratterriers
or several good cats are
among the most elective methods of
rat control. Cats are useful in rat
control about city .and village premises.
It is true that many cats are
ruinous to birds and when a cat has
formed the bird killing habit it should
l.n /loafvnverl :ind icol.iccd hv a better
one. !
In some sections systematic rat
campaigns liavo produced splendid results,
and similar campaigns should
he of the ivreatest benefit in all sec1
lions of our state.

It appears that C-wm*- ^ n lopant

made hv Capps during the your, for
supplies for which the landlord had
stood with the merchant.
When the cotton was pinned and
eady to sell or storr, \4 was the will
^f the landlord that it should he kept
md not disposed of. Kvidence was
ntroduced to show that Capps had
mought off some of the cotton to Con,vay
and that he sold it to tho firm
>f Mishoo & Cooper, who are having
rotten here this season.
The cotton was followed to Conway
>v the landlord and when he found
vhat had 1>een done he took out cVnm
md delivery papers against MNhoe
md seized the cotton back. Then
di -hoe swore out r warrant for Capps,
'havvring tlio --oiling of properly to

o that effect.
In the meantime, while the cotton
mij tlius tird up in tho meshes of

There are three things about cotton
seed that we should a'l look after
carefully at this season:?
1. Our seed should bo o<* a tested
and approved variety of 'vtt n. There
are seedsmen who are advertising1
varieties of cotton that they claim
made hitch yields under boll weevil
conditions, as a special advertisement
to sell their seed to farmers in boll
weevil territories. Some of these advertisements
are either fr.auds or serious
exaggerations. This is no time
to experiment with highly advertised
vaiiofies that we know nothing about
personally. The agronomy division
of Clemson College has conducted
thorough tests for a great many vears
to determine the best varieties of cotton
for boll weevil conditions, and
after, careful examination the following
varieties .are recommended:
Short Staple?(1) Cleveland Rig
Boll for wilt-free land; ('2) DixioTr'iimoh
for wilt-infected land.
I ong Staple?(1) Webber ll>; (2)
IVItatvpe Webber,
2. We should us^ seed not only of
approved varieties but from a reliable
source. Farmers who are buying seed
will do well to buy from reliable
seedsmen as near home as possible.
ft. We should make sure that the
seed we are planting are strong, healthy
seed and will give us a quick vigorous
germination. If there is any
doubt at all about tlie seed we should
niako a germination test before plant
'.ig time.
