J KNOWLEDGE SUCCEEDS $
**************************
It is lack of knowledge that leads
into trouble. To express it another
way, ignorance breeds disaster.
It has become a trite saying, accepted
in the world as expressing a truth:
"Knowledge is Power." Men have
taken up this proverb and licked it
to pieces and examined every part of
it. They say that knowledge is power
provided the knowledge is coupled
with the energy to apply it. They
do not think of the fact that knowledge
may amount to power because
it may restrain action that one might
try to take or have others to take if
it were not for the wisdom which
causes a holding hack.
Ignorance leads to trouble. Even
the motorist who gets stuck along
the way gets into the mire because
he had no advance knowledge that
the mire was there; or if he knew it
was there he was ignorant of the
powers of his machine as contending
with the forces of this particular
mire.
We do or we do not do, according
a? we may he informed. Every man
claims that lie will do what he thinks
is best for him and his. He only
means that he acts within his discretion
within the light of the knowledge
that he has. If he does not know, he
has to go by guess. He does the best
lie can in the consideration of such
things as lie knows or thinks he
knows in that particular instance.
One man we know has said that a
man is not worth anything beyond
his experience in any emergency or
calling in life. By this lie meant
that a man is worth according to his
knowledge of that, with which he is
dealing and of the things concerned
in his action, whatever it may he. By
experience a man learns and his
knowledge is priceless both to himself
and to others concerned with
him.
We have seen one man who pretended
to know, take hold of a set of
things under certain circumstances
and make a complete failure. We
heard him lay the blame, not on himself,
but on some defect in the things
lie h ad to work with, or upon some
circumstance that came in by a force
beyond him. We have seen another
man who perhaps did not make as
great pretensions, take hold of the
same things and under the same circumstances
and carry his plans to a
complete success. Failures are always
laid to other things besides the
man who has been concerned in bring
jng them about.
We have seen men who found fault!
with a machine and sav that it was j
a mistake to have made it; that it,
was faulty and could not lie used for.
the purposes recommended. Other
men b.ave taken the same machine
and made out of it and with it one
of the greatest of successes. Thus it
goes on in every walk of life. Success
is due to the amount of information,
care, skill and wisdom applied
in any given thine. If actions are
ruled by ignorance, both man and his
ox. always wind up in the ditch.
Where things are undertaken and
done in the light of knowledge, success
usually crowns the ell'orts of
man.

If the farmer had the right to fix
the price that he would get for his
cotton, how much would he .ask ?
There is one thing certain and that is
that neither cotton or tobacco c.an bring
more than the other man can afford
to pay.

When it went to 18 cents thov decided
to hold for 20 cents, and when it
went to 20 cents they were not yet
satisfied, but they wanted a still higher
price. They are still holding and
there is no telling how long they will
hold.

DEVELOPMENT OF
BACK COUNTRY
Charleston, S. C.?A group of progressive
men from South Carolina
went to Savannah during Armistice
Week, 1918, to hear the Hon. Franklin
K Lane, Secretary of the Interior,
tell his plan to make use of the immense
tracts of splendid farm lands
located in the coastal plain section of
the Southeastern Atlantic states. Returning
to Charleston these men
called in their friends and at a meeting
held December 18, 1918, organized
the South Carolina Landowners'
Association, to he afterward known as
South Carolina Development
Board.
The attempt was made to organize
the state for the work of placing its
natural advantages before its own
people and the outside world. On account
of the severe business depression
it was necessary to abandon the
plans for the time being.
The business men who planned the
organization were never willing to
give up the organization, and fur

the very troublesome times now happily?at
least in a measure, behind
us. The work of the board never
ceased. It looked after the affairs of
the state of a national nature, for instance
national reclaimation of wet
and cut-bver lands; secured beneficial
laws at home, for instance the act to
promote and further co-operative
marketing; assisted in many ways in
the reorganization of the economic
life of the state.
In the past, the usefulness of the
levelopment board has been greatly
limited by the provision in its by-laws
calling for over sixty directors and
these scattered over the state; it has
been impossible to obtain quorums for
the transaction of regular business,
and referendums to act on matters of
great moment submitted to the date
from the outside.
The development board enters the
ciMiiiiijLs \car wiin us directorate reduced
to nine members.
In the past the hoard has had a part
in too many movements. From now
on the work of the board will be restricted
to advertising the wondet ful
opportunities of t!ie state, while carrying
on the so-called "hack country
development" made famous by the St.
Louis Chamber of Commerce.
At a special meeting held in
Chesleston this week, plans were
made for the coming year and the following
officers elected: President.
Niels Christenson; cxecutiee vice president
and chairman of the hoard of
directors, K. L. Montague; secretary,
11. 13. Horton. The following directors
were elected, 13. W. Durant, of
Charleston; C. S. Ucker, Baltimore;
J. Swinton VVhaley, Little Ivlisto;
Joseph ScheiiK, Georgetown; H. F.
Barkording, Charleston; W. 13. Richardson,

SON OF CHIEF
STILLS LIQUOR
Walterboro.?John Britton, a son
of Chief of Police Britton of Branchville,
was killed by Sheriff Ackernian
recently while resisting .arrest. Brttton
was said to be operating a still
in the Edisto River swamp. When
Sheriff Ackernian attempted to place
him under arrest Britton shot at the
sheriff and his deputies, G. C. Benton
and J. D. Ackernian. Fortunately
they were near enough to take shelter
behind trees and returned the fire.
Several shots had been exchanged,
when Britton, in an unguarded moment
exposed himself and was shot
in the side by Sheriff Ackernian. who
intended to shoot only to force him to
give up; but one shot went high
enough to strike a vital organ and
death resulted in an hour. The body
was brought to Walterboro and Magistrate
Pellum held an inquest, the
verdict of the jury being in accordance
with the foregoing.
Britton and Talmadge Edwards
were together at a forty gallon copper 1
still and eight sixty gallon barrels of 1
mash. Their alleged violation of the 1
law was reported to the sheriff and he
was armed with a warrant. Edwards
denies complicity, stating that he was (
only a visitor to Britton.
Sheriff Ackerman has reported the 1
killing to Governor Harvey. :

(Florence Times)
John P. Cooper, secretary-treasurer j
of the Palmetto Grocery Company,

letter to his customers in which he
says of the Tobacco Growers' Co-operative
Association, "We have looked '
into it thoroughly and believe that
every farmer who wants to improve
his present financial condition should '
join now." Mr. Cooner adds "The
world will forgive him when he quits '
trying to better it. The association
needs you and surely you will need *
the association. We are advising you
voluntarily, hut we are advising you
honestly." (
Big growers and prominent men 1
still continue to join the association *
in South Carolina, among whom are '
J. R. Barrow of New Zion, Clarendon 1
county, who signed up his 50,000 N
pound crop with the association on
Dillon county, who has just signed
15.000 pounds with the association.
M. O. Wilson, director of field serv- .

FORCES FINISH ,
THEIR MEETING
Clemson College.?The extension
forces of Clemson College and the
United States Department of Agriculture
concluded the three-day program
of their annual meeting here Thursday
afternoon, the general keynote of
the meeting having been diversification
as the means of meeting present
conditions. Among the subjects discussed
on Wednesday afternoon and
Thursday were "Soil Improvement,"
"Substitute Crops for Cotton In the
Different Sections of the State," "The
Marketing of Truck Crops," etc.
That soil improvement is the basis
of profitable farming, the more so
under boll weevil conditions than ever
before, ,and that there is very close
relation always between yields and
profits was brought out in an interesting
discussion on "Soil Building,"
led by N. E. Winters, specialist in
soil building.. The central idea of
the discussion wns thnt thp most pom- .
nomical means of building: better soils
lies in the use of green manure cover
crops to make the use of commercial
fertilizers most effective and to otherwise
fit and feed the soil for best production.
In a discussion of crops, which may
be substituted for reduced cotton
acreages, attention was called to tlie
fact that in the Piedmont counties
such crops as soy beans, crimson clover,
small grains, in some sections
apples and peaches, and possibly to a
imited extent sweet potatoes and
Irish potatoes, especially the fall crop,
can be used to good advantage. In
the coastal plains and Pee Dee sections
stress was laid upon various
truck crops and tobacco, peanuts,
atrain and hay, as well as sweet potatoes,
and to some extent peaches
ind small fruits.
One of the interesting discussions
was that which stressed the increased
importance and need of marketing
work as a part of the county agent's
program of service and included the
general subject of marketing truck
crops. This latter discussion was led
>y I). D. Whitcomhe, specialist in
ruck marketing, who has had wide
experience in this line in Florida and
elsewhere. The fact was stressed
hat before marketing come grading
tiid standardization of truck products
n order that there may be something
which the markets really can use.
