The 'bteemed Columbia State has added a new department to its excellent editorial page,head ed "Aftermath." To be used as a sort of "chaser" after perusing the other bright and scintilating matter preceding it, we suppose. The Mexican rucus and the miners' war in Colorado has completely sidetracked the little wvar in Ireland; also the Thaw case. But the Frank case con tinues to occupy the first page -in Atlanta. According to our books there are several good church mem bers and liberal contributors to foreign missions who have tak en our paper out of the post office for a year, but who have never paid for it, and who do not pay even when we send them a statement and we have to cut them off. But they can not fool the Lord, and we do not believe He gives them credit on the great book for sending other people's money to the heathen. The Inquti Im HWoNDRS WATISTt Pickens County Man E Is Model Farmer Special to The Sentinel. Clemson College, May 4.- p] Pickens county has given the t< state a concrete example of the if possibilities of tenant farming a where there is proper co-opera- a tion between landlord and ten- e] ant. In his latest weekly report o. W. H. Barton. assistant state C agent of demonstration in co- h operation with Clemson College, a says: t "Mr. S. H. Maddox, of Norris, h S. C., is a tenant on the farm of f( Mr. E. W. Tate. Mr. Maddox N is known in his community as h the 'best farmer in the county' si (Pickens). He began on dead ii poor land four years ago, the t] land being full of gullies from knee to waist deep. With deep if plowing, terracing and winter s< cover crops of rye, he has in " this short time brought the farm a up to where, last year, he made cl an average of 45 bushels of corn S and 1,547 pounds of seed cotton q per acre. He now has more a than three-fourths of the farm d sown to clover, vetch and rye to Z to be turned this spring. c< "This is a concrete example of c. what a renter can do when the h landlord properly co-operates. t] And this is the secret of the n whole affair. The landlord. Mr. S Tate, furnishes free of charge e: all cover crop seed and binds himself not to advance his charges for rental so long as Mr. Maddox remains on his farm. Mr. Maddox pays a certain per- . centage of all he makes, and whatever is to the interest of the one is to the interest of the oth- C er. Mr. Tate is delighted with h Mr. Maddox and Mr. Maddox is a delighted with Mr. Tate. Such a harmonious co-operative arran- C gement is fine to behold. Why cannot this method be extend- t ed?"t p Mexico is nearly three times P the size of Texas, and had in t 1910 a population of 15,000,000 V in an area 767.239 square miles. a The population in 1900 was 19 0 per cent white, 38 per cent In- e dian and 43 per cent of mixed n n blood. s fi The GreenwoodJournal should b have a care lest its editor gets in the same dilemma the Columbia Record is in.

Upton Sinclair, author and high-brow socialist, was arrest ed and held in a police station in New York one day last week. It is a socialist's delight to get locked up, so that he can be ca ed a "martyr to the cause."

Telephone Service in Pickens Mr. Ray Lynch and Miss Clar :e Keith are two of the besi ephone operators in Picken unty. Pickens is fortunate ir aving two good telephone oper tors. They are better than th( verage, being efficient and ac ommodating. There are 81 telephones or armers' lines connected witi bis office, besides the local tele hones. The exchange of tele hone calls is more conplicates aan one would think, especiall3 ,here the switchboard is worr nd not up to date. The tw< perators here handle all West rn Union telegrams, this offic ot being furnished with a mes anger boy, as all telephone of ces handling telegrams shouk e. We have one local line fron ickens to Greenville, onl3 ne line from Easley to Picken nd none to Liberty. It is noi waysthe oper ator's fault wher 'the line's busy."

Summer Boarders Each summer there are al 1any summer boarders in Pick s can find accommodation: ere, and every year people wh( ould like to spend the sum. ten here are forced to go else here because there are no ac ommodations for them here.
