When the census was taken in 1910 there were in South Caro lina 664,475 hogs and' pigs, .of which 243,058 were classified as "spring pigs." According to the same census the number of white rpeople in the state was 679,162. Thus it will be seen that-there are not enough hogs, by 14,687, to go around even among the white people if each person eat a hog a year. There would be no satsage, spare-ribs and back-bone stew whatever e835,843 negroes. -Fa*-tat week og sho2- was impressive, as ys is. No one who saw big pigs and the little pigs bted that Satbth Carol.na is rdinarily well adapted to raising of great hogs as well of great men and, in our on, hogs re necessary to uction of great planters. man. Probably there is not on~e among the truly great in South arolina that is not, in part, -og-fed, and, if that be so, how may we expect to see "grand old South Carolina" occupy her proper place in the iiation if Illinois, Missouri, Indiana and /Kansas pork is to enter largely into the construction of our star performerS? W When the census of 1920 is taken there should be at least one hog each for every man, w'man and child in the state, >~g the negroes.

A hog of good stock can be made to weigh 300 to 406 pounds at a year old with very little expense, and almost every family at least can raise one. It beats buying meat from the stores. Try it.

We need more settlers in this state and' smaller farms. There is plenty of room in this county for home seekers, and our people should begin to make efforts to induce home-builders to locate here.

Prof. Rector was principal of the Six Mile Baptist Accademny last year and resigned to accept a position 'as teacher by appointment of the Unitedl States Government in the Philippine Islands. The letter will be read with interest by many of his friends here. Editor of the State: Much is being written and said about: what the United States should do with the Philippine Islands. Many good men in the States seem to think that these Islands should immediately be given their independence and allowed to establish a govern ment of their own. After a four-months stay in the Philip pines, the writerdis of the opinion that the Filipinos are utterly in capable of self-government. The peonle are living on at least 00 islands which are scattered for a 1,000 miles through the sea. The natives speak eight istinct dialects. Often the people on one side of the moun ains can't make themselves nderstood to the people on the >pposite side. No one of these ialects can ever become a corn on language for all. Of 1 ourse English is being taught o thousands of the younger1 eneration, and within a half1 ~enturv, perhaps, English will e used throughout the Islands. Should the efforts of the Ameri an teachers stop now, it is theI elief of many that the Spanish vould again become the official anguage, and only a very smnall r er cent. of the people know j my Spanish. Most of the Fili- t inos are yet ignorant, but they 1, re making rapid strides along ~ ~ducational lines. The Filipinos know but little il f the value of 'unified effort. ri hey have very few organized t dustries. Statistics show that d ly 4 per cent. of the comn erce of the islands is carried n by native Filipinos. The hin oi tr hA eymmfercial menr means caraboos with difficulty. any roads are beingI wires are connecting ne important islands. dded to these disadvantages, he resources of the islands are indeveloped, consequently the )eople are poor. Every effort is )eing made to develop the agri -ultural interests. The wealth >f the islands is locked up in ,he soil. The bureau of educa :son makes it compulsory that avery school shall have a school rarden, and many of the schools n carpentry and woodwork. [In fact, the school emphases aow is being given to domestic science and industrial work. The bureau thinks that the people should learn to work as well as how to wear shoes and write English. The poverty of the people would make it impossible for them to support an army and navy of sufficient strength to protect the islands from foreign foes that could use them to good advantage in relieving the con gested conditions at home. Can the United States, in the name of humanity and in the name of freedom and liberty for which it stands afford to withdraw its protection from so simple a a people until they ar'e better able to protect themselves? VICTOR E. RECTOR. Lucban, Tayabas, P. I., Septem ber 25, 1911. The demand for cotton this year by fourteen countries out side the United States is placed at twelve and a half million bales; with an estimate of an additional two million bales for several countries not reportink, includiug- British Indi- This, with the Americanu umption places th- e6as of the. world rn this year, as estimated at. Washington, at about twenty million bales. The figures are in some cases fairly accurate: in others they are palpable guesses. The general result may be approximately correct. Last Thursday. at the request of an attendant on the Farmers' Union meeting -in Columbia,. the editor of The State estimat ad the world's needs for this year at between nineteen and bwenty million bales, but on ac count of conditions in China and [ndia it is impossible to do more than roughly estimate until a better system for securing in- i Eormation in those countries is 1 iigurated. - But what good does it do usi to know th'at the mills of theI world need 20,000,000 bales of cotton to fill their orders this year, unless we have approxi mately accurate information as to the number of bales India, China, Manchuria, one or twoI South American countries and E'gypt, have produced or will produce; or unless we knowl what percentage of the goods manufactured must be made in American cotton?-The State.
