Isn't il a linl<- hit singular that tho
fumier, especially th?' funner of the
.-nulli, has always itlloweil others IO
dh laic the prii i s of his crops? The
problem now is uni uni' ot producing
hut of distributing.
Tho problem is to make the de
mand meet thc supply. Thc south is
thc one MIM I ?on where more than (?ne
crop can he produced in the same
i ar on the Hame piece of land. The
fanners of the south have been
ground under the crud heel of ne
cessity, (.'nilling home from the war.
they had to resort to every makeshift
lo exist.
They accepted whatever loans they
could get and whatever prices they
could get for til? little dab they pro
duced. Now it Is iliflennt. Tile fur
nier who doesn't have to borrow Is
no longer the exception to the rule.
Hut the matter now is how the
fanner may sell lo advantage. It is
shameful (hat such soil as ours should
bu devoted to ono monty crop. The
great Fee Dec ls ahead of us. They
indi tobacco in July and cotton in
September. Hut could they sell to
bacco in July if they didn't have
their warehouses and markets ami
buyers? Hy combining in sufficient
numbera they are enabled to get buy
ers to come to them.
If our farmers of thu Piednn
should combine in BUffltient numbera,
why should they not bu able to hu ve
u distinctive crop? It just needs a
start.
Farmers as a rule do not look upon
Innovations or experiments. But If
some day the responsibility of man
aging markets should he thrust upon
them we know thal tiley would meas
ure squarely up to the responsibility
und the reputation of this seel lon for
something eine than cotton produc
tion would l.e established.
What Is required ls purpose. Then
purpose should be shown in organi
zation. An., organl/iit[un would be
futile without fidelity. We can see
Anderson a great proiluen market.
We WIBII we could make others see
it.
There ls one politician in this
state who is deserving of success,
und that is Wm. F. Stevenson, of
Citera w. Ho proposes lo get elected
to congress by using the newspapers
in evenhanded manlier, lie is adver
tising his merits, lils record and his
policies Just as a merchant would ad
vertise his r.tock of good?.
Some people have a remarkable
way of getting free nil of the news
paper advertising that they need, but
Mr. Stevenson is advertising In a way
that compels respect for his candor
und hts liberality. The Hock Hill Her
ald of recent date aayH:
Bill Stevenson , of Cheraw,
who is opposing our Dave Finley
for Congress in tiie Fifth Dis
trict, ls setting nu example for
other politicians which all should
follow. He ls advertising in the
newspapers - not In the way
which is so attractive to politic
ians and so fruitless of publicity
for them-he propasen to pay Ma
good money for the space. Now.
Hill may not succeed in defeat
ing York County's iavorite man,
-but he will certainly accom
plish one thing worth while
he will win the rospeut of the
newspaper men of thc Fifth Dis- .
trica. That may be worth some
thing to him in the future.
The Herald ls just a little bit
lacking in veneration in speaking sn
personally of Mr. Stevenson, ns "Bill."
but he happens ta be a man of power
ful personality and can stand lt. We
wish that the others In political life
would he ns practical as he and
would pay for what they get out of the
newspapers.
LAW OF THE BOAB
The laws of the road And sidewalk
ure noticeably disregarded by tho pub
lic, both riding and arcot, driving
their automobiles, buggies or wa
gons on either side of the street
most convenient tu them, without the
slightest regard to the safety and the
rights of others using the streets.
The traveling public should have
moro regard for the safety and privi
leges and rights of their fellow men
and "drive tn the rip ht" at all times.
There ls very little difference In the
quality" of th?* left and the right Bides
of any street, and should one side be
better than the other, it you do not
wish to drive along that ride when
you should, the safe and advisable
step IB to bring the matter beforo the
city council for action or use anoth
er street, of which there are a large
number to be found In the city of An
derson and thereabouts.
"Drive to the right," "Walk to the
right," rand always "keep to the
right," and you'll be right.

Full I rnih Potatoes.
Editor Southern Cultivator:
Complying with yoiif request I
herewith give to the readers of your
paper the benefit of my experience In
growing fall Irish potatoes. When I
say fall potatoes 1 mean a variety
that will not make when planted in
the spring.
I usually plant on land where I have
grown wheat and oats. I prepare my
land thoroughly-good and deep. Lay
off rows 24 to HO Inches wide with
scooter nnd Johnson wings. Follow
with guano distributor using from OOO
to 1.000 pounds of some good fertilizer
per acre. Then run the scooter fur
row after tho guano to Incorporate the
fertilizer with the soil. Drop potatoes
about 12 Inches apart as you would
corn. Thero ls no sense In turning the
ey?.* up or down. Cover deep. When
potatoes are well sprouted run sec
tion harrow over to smooth the ridges
down. After they are up run a furrow
in the middle with n plow Just large
enough to push the dirt around the
sprouts. He peat this in about ten days
with a large plow ten or twelve
days thereafter run a furrow with a
plow large enough to hill them up
good. This will necessitate only three
plowings. One furrow to the row
which will require .only about six
hours to cultivate an acre. 1 seldom
ever hoe ns we have but little grass
In the fall unless lt ls a very wet sea
Ron. I plant from July 10th till Aug
ust 10th, governed according to the
seasons; using about Ul bushels of
seed per acre. Dig your potatoes after
the first frost . Put them in a cool,
dry place on a fasle slatted floor
about 4 inches from the ground surface
In order to afford perfect ventilation.
I keep them in my potato cellar to'the
depth of four und five feet In perfect
condition from October till the follow
ing July.

Alexander Wells, an old citizen of
Wellsville, Ohio, has a copy of an In
teresting and novel document Issued
by the school board of the town ot
lancaster Ohio. In 1828. ' The ques
tion of it en ni railroads was then In Its
incipient stage, and a club of young
men had been formed for the purpose
nf discussing their value and feast
Dillly. They desired the use of the
schoolhouse for purposes of debate
This was looked upon by the members
of the school hoard as an Innovation
-erliege, as indicated
by their reply to the request, which
is the document In pnssesulon of Mr.
Wells, lt reads ns follows:
"You are welcome to the use of
the schoolhouse to debate all proper
question in . but such things as rail
roads and telegraphs are impossibili
ties and rank infidelity. If God had
designed that lils intelligent creatures
should travel at tho frightful speed of
fifteen' miles an hour, by steam. He
would clearly have foret ol i lt through
Ills only prophets It lp a device of
Satan to lead Immortal s uls down, to
hell."

FEDERALS ROUTED
WITH HEAVY LOSS
<<'ontinufd From Firsi Page)
Ohregon today informed F. H. Ellas,
bonier representative of the constltu
llonulists, that he had captured tho
city Wednesday morning and routed
IL'.OOo federals commanded hy Gen
eral Miel, federal governor of the
stale of Jalisco.
Five Thousand ruptured.
In n fierce battle extending over a
zone of eighty miles, the federal army
was cut to pieces by Obregon's force
of less than 10,000 men. Five thou-;
sand federals were captured, Ohregon
said, along with all the artillery and
ammunition of the enemy. General
Illanco was sent to cut off all com
munication with Mexico City. He
tore up the railroad line and prevent
ed the federals moving stores from
the city.
Few of the attucking force were
killed or wounded, Obregon reported.
He informed Ellas that be led his
forces personally into Guadalajara.
The city went wild with enthusiasm
over the entrance of the revolutionary
forces.
Obregon's telegram to Carranza1
said:
"At this moment, ll a. m., I tele
graph you from tho governor's place
in this city. The column sent out
by the federals to meet us was dlr,-(
astronsly destroyed. Ceneral Bianco
was sent to cut off all communication !
with Mexico City. The losses of the'
federals, I am unable to compute as
yet. The battle covered a dlstanei
of over one hundred kilometers and
the deud are scattered all over this
territory.
Enemy Boated.
Those who escaped are In flight or !
dispersed entirely. For three days we
fought with more than twelve thou
sand of the enemy. Have virtually
capt rued all artillery and ammuni
tion held by the enemy. Very few of
our men ure wounded or killed. En
thusiasm reigns in the city."
Celebrate Victory.
Celebrations are going on tonight
in all the towns of Northern Sonora
where news of the victory was re
ceived.
Guymas, which has held out against
the constitutionalists for more "than a
year, is about to be evacuated, accord

AN EXAMPLE
(Greenville Piedmont.)
The Piedmont haa frequently said
that the mill workers in South Carol!- -
na are a splendid people, of a good,
strain of blood and capable of high de
velopment, in a speech at Seneca last
Saturday, Mr. L. W. Parker erapha
sized thia same point'and illustrated
thus: j
"Ten or eleven years ago I used to .
aee a little boy sweeping in the Vic- ' j
tor mill at Greer. If any boy ever had
a poor chance it was this little fel
low. . He was the mainstay of a. -
widowed mother and a'large family, )
I yet he graduates next week from the }
State University with honors.. What j
he can do. aay ot you can do also."
Mr. Parker was referring to Geo.
W. Ward. ' J
What Ward did, any boy in .any. mill ?j ?
village can do and he will find those j
who will help bim when he shows j
ambition and capacity. Bat the kind' .' I
ot "boy, who loafs around ..the; "Ape
Yard" and similar places will never
develop Into a Ward.
