is the beat of all investments and
[uik that the people of this county
need not expect it ever again to depre
ciate in value for any considerable pe
riod of time.
A farm containing one hundred acres
if land farily well cultivated (a two
Ihorse farm) should produce an average
'of 30 bales of cotton, besides furnishing
the farmer with a home for himself
and his family, free water, free fuel, I
vegetables, some meat and divers other
necessaries. Other crops should be
produced as well. Thirty bales of cot
ton should yield the grower at present
prices or at 12 cents the pound about
$900. in cash profits, or $1,800 gross.
We calculate that the thrifty farmer
who produces most that his mules eat,
who is careful with his stock, his agri
cultural implements and his houses and
who does not let his land wash away
can produce cotton at six cents the
pound.
A good book-keeper in a big town
store may earn $75. a month or $900
the year. Out of this he must pay
$180. a year rent, $15. a year for wa
ter, his family and personal laundry
will cost twice as much as in the coun
try, his tax rate is twice as great as
in the country and he must buy all of
his meat and a good part of his vege
tables. *
The opportunities of the small farm
in these times are very great. The
book-keeper spends an average of ten
hours a day 300 days in the year at his
desk, supposing that ho takes two
weeks' vacation. The farmer who puts
in us many days' work as the book
keeper and is not extravagant can and
does save twico as much in the year.
This is the greatest country in the
world. The only reason that good land
in Laurens is worth less than $100 the
_aero is that the population is not dense.
DPfcWy Moon new people will be coming
in; that is why people who wish to own
homes bad better buy land now.
CORPORATION PREJUDICE-?COTTON
MILLS.
The present difficulties of the rail
roads in North Carolina and otho states
are due in a large part to their own
foolish behavior. The railroad compa
nies have done an immense amount of
good for the South but the people have
lost sight of this because the railroads
have too often and too long assumed a
defiant manner towards tho people.
They have taken for granted that all
claims brought were unjust and resisted
the righteous and the unrighteous to
gether, no that the people have absorbed
the idea that justice from the railroads
was not to be had for the asking and
have formed the habit of giving ver
dicts in the courts against the railroads
and of supporting reckless legislation
whenever there has been an opportuni
ty.
The prejudice against the railroads
extends to other corporations. When
the state charters a corporation it gives
to it peculiar and tremendous powers
which may be misused to tho hurt of
the people and of the minority stock
holder. Tho minority stock-holder has
little protection under the law when the
majority is inclined to oppress and take
unfair advantage. Whenever a corpo
ration assumes an arrogant attitude and
is unfair it arouses antagonism not only
towards itself but towards all other
corporations. The people are jealous
of corporations and ought to be so. We
have had in Laurens in the last two
years two instances acutely illustrative
of alleged corporation oppression. In
the Laurens Cotton Mills case one side
honestly believe that it was grossly and
shamefully mistreated, to its great loss
in money, and that it is still suffering
from the extortion, unjustified by either
law or morals, of the people who are
able to control by reason of the fact
that they have tho most money. In the
Waro Shoals case one side believes that
it had been shamefully and grossly
mistreated in much tho same way. Of
course thero are two sides to these
cases but it is a singular coincidence
that gentlemen who support the New
York majority in the former case are
gentlemen who are the "down-trod" in
the latter case. Both cases, however,
will aggravate the feeling against cor
porations, that is already so easily
aroused, and the result will be that in
the courts and in the legislature the two
affairs will embarrass the cotton mills
' fivenerally and the concerns which have
|^ (lways acted honestly and fairly will
suffer. In the Laurens Cotton Mill
case, tho manufacturers of South Caro
lina who aro not associated in any way
with the Millikcn firm arc almost unani
mously outspoken in condemnation of
the methods pursued by that house. If,
in tho Waro Shoals case, the position
taken by Mr. Dial and other local direc
tors Is correct, they ought to have
"Jy the warm and energetic support

the Reigels

retained turPflpffffent?of the mill and if
the Reigels reduced his salary to a
nominal figure by way of evasion of
their obligation to him, then he has
been badly treated and he may rely up
on the help of The Advertiser in get
ting his deserts from them.
Not long ago this took place in a
town not 50 miles from Laurens. A
cotton mill was chartered with a capi
tal stock of $400,000 but only $250,000
was paid in. To complete the mill, it
was necessary to issue some $200,000 of
preferred stock. In the last year or
two the mill made a great deal of money,
about $200,000. The stock jumped $25.
a Bharo or more. Everybody thought
it was a good thing and numbers of
persons bought stock, supposing that
the profits would be used to retire the
preferred stock. Lo and behold, when
the directors met, at the instance of
Northern commission men who are largo
holders of tho stock, and against the
protest of local directors, it was resol
ved to issue the remaining unsubscribed
common stock, in the form of a stock
dividend, giving each stock-holder one I
new share for each two that he already I
held; this increasing the mill's liabilities.
The preferred stock was not retired.
The effect of this manipulation was to j
depress tho market price of the com- ]
mon stock) perhaps $25. a share Thus
tho commission men, already large |
holders, were presented with the oppor
tunity of buying stock from discouraged
holders and strengthening their grip
on the mill, and, by the way, they arc
not a two per cent commission house, j
by any means. The minority stock
holders are dissatisfied but what can
they do? We do not mention the name
of this mill because some of our facts
may not be accurately stated, they are
stated as hear-say, and we do not wish
to do anybody injustice.
The sum of the whole matter is that
decent and respectable manufacturers
must get together and put an end to
the oppression practised by a few under
the forms of law or else they must
prepare for a hard time when the peo
ple come to deal with the industry
later.
A Valuable Lesson.
"Six years ago I learned a valuable
lesson, writes John Pleasant, of Mag
nolia, Ind. "I then began taking Dr.
King's New Life Pills, and the longer
I taTke then the better 1 find them."

it Is "Means Grass."
At the close of the Revolutionary
war three brothers, John, Thoma3 and
Robert Means, removed from Boston
to South Carolina. The last named
settled in Beaufort and married Miss
Barnwell. John and Thomas Means
settled in tho northwestern part of
Fairfield, and married respectively
Mary and Sarah Milling, sisters of
Capt. Hugh Milling of tho sixth regi
ment Of South Carolina continontnls.
Thomas Means, whose son John Hugh
Means afterwards became governor of
South Carolina, at once became a large
merchant and planter and imported
some hemp seed from Egypt. With
the hemp, came up a few sprigs of a
fine, vigorous growing grass, which
Mr. Means allowed to go to seed, and
gathering, replanted the grass seed in
his garden, near Buckhcad, in western
Fairfield county. Being a hardy and
rapid grower, after this second planting
the grans rapidly spread from the gar
den over his plantation, and from the
plantation branches and creeks noon
spread to bottom lands of Little river
and Broad and Congaree rivers.
It was thus introduced from Egypt
by Thomas Means soon after the Revo
lutionary war, about the close of the
eighteenth century. Mr. Thomas Means
and his family called it "Egyptian
grass," from its origin, but it soon be
came known locally and in South Caro
lina as tho "Means grass."
Some of the neighbors erroneously
fearing it would prove a pest in the
cultivation of the crops on account
of its rapid spread called it the
"damned Means grass." Some of the
seed was taken from South Carolina by
a Mr. Johnson to Alabama, where it
became known as the "Johnsongrass."
An article written from Clcmson
college for The State Aug., 1901, in al
luding to Means' introduction of the
grass in hemp seed from Egypt into
Fairfield, stated that "a man named
Johnson carried some of the seed to
Alabama and planted it extensively.
From him it got the namo of Johnson
grass, when by right it ought to be
"Means grass."
Col. Newman, professor at Clemson
agricultural college, says it is a very
valuable grass for hay, in fact the
most valuable, and that it can be killed
by simply pasturing stock on it. In
Alabama, where Col. Newman lived
for years, the grass is well known and
highly valued, the people having long
since learned not to fear it. For hay
it should be cut while young and tender
and* can be thus cut several times a
year. It ia a rapid grower and if al
lowed to go to seed on good land easily
attains a height of four, five and even
six feet. Some of this grass can be
Jseen now seeding in tho State house
i grounds.
Much of the hay brought into Colum
bia from the river bottoms is Means
grass. The man who imported this
grass is the samo Thomas Means whose
picture and genealogy waa published in
the Oct., 1907, number of the Genealo
gical and Historical Magazine society.

Karuixawa, Jap^
July 6, 1907^1
My dear Mother:?
I sent you a note
from ship-board, but at that time I had
not decided on our resting place for the
summer and so could only give you the
temporary address, Tokio. While in
Tokio it seemed best that we come to
this place,-Karuizawa. Hero is the
mecca for the missionaries of Ja
pan and Formosa, and also some from
China, during the summer months. I
am told that some seven or eight hun
dred come here annually.
We came up from Tokio a week ago
to-day. Spent the first night at a ho
tel, and the next morning began house
hunting. Our friends, the Bowles fam
ily in Tokio, told us of a house in the
suburbs of the missionary community
and up on tho top of ono of the moun
tain passes, that we .could likely get;
and directed us to a Mrs. Madden, who
had already come and, who would be
able to interpret for us to the Japanese
landlord. It was indeed fortunate that
she was here, for without some one to
talk tor you you are helpless in these
lands. We found the house just to our
liking, being removed from the commu
nity we can be as quiet as we like, and
as the location is farther up the moun
tain we have the more bracing and the
cooler atmosphere. The village is
about 3,200 feet above the sea and we
are about 4,000 feet. Again our house,
which is entirely Japanese, is cheaper
than the ones below. Here we pay
Yen 30 for tho season, and there they
pay from Yen 120 to 150. (A Yen is
equal to 50 cents gold.) Not many
missionaries like to come so far up,
hence our rent is cheaper, but for us
the location is better than in the vil
lage. One of the best things about
the place is the large spring almost
within a stone's throw from our house.
It is larger and bolder than the one at
Mt. Bethel, indeed the sight of it took
me back to the scenes about that one
there. The water is like ice, and per
fectly pure, hence there is no need of
boiling it to make it drinkable, as the
water from the wells in China has
to be.
And the change in the atmosphere is
such a blessing. Here every night we
sleep under three or four blankets, and
in the day wear the heavy flannels that
we do during the winter at Macao and
in America. Of course if one gets out
in the sun lighter garments feel better.
Then the good supply of rain at this
season may make the temperature low
er than ordinarily. But it certainly is
the place to rest. I believe that we
can rest here better than we could in
America.
Another of our blessings is an abun
dance of strawberries. We happened
to get here before the season for these
had finished, and daily we are feasting
on these. Being near the village we
get groceries and other eatables sent
up to us as tho' we were in the commu
nity, also the mail is delivered to our
door
Things arc very expensive in Japan
now. Much, more so than in China.
Here everything i? from a third" to n
half higher, and in some cases the
price- is more than double. In Hong
kong we buy beef for 20 cents, hero
we pay 55 cents; there we get butter
for 60 cents, here it cost 95. But the
house is cheap, and bracing air and de
lightful water is free, so we will even
up on all and the Father will see us
through, (with some of the substantial
thing to sand with in).
Yesterday the mail from Oakland
came, your letter among others. There
are enough letters to show that our
visit home would have been a busy
one. Among them is a very cordial
one from the Moody Bible Institute,
written by Mr. Moody's son-in-law,
Mr. Pitt, inviting us to be their
"guest" in Chicago, and another from
Toronto, Canada, asking us to give
them time for a series of missionary
meetings.
I am nearing the end of my page,
and so will write you more in my next
letter about things in this land.

JUDGE WATTS PLEASED.
Contrasts Conditions Under State Dis
pensary and Situation at Present.
Saluda, Aug, 9. Judge WatLs in com
menting upon the grand jury present
ment took occasion to say that while
ho always thought ?he dispensary law
(meaning tho State dispensary) was
the best solution of the whiskey ques
tion, yet when he contrasted condi
tions in Saluda to-day with what he
saw when here last (the dispensary
was here then) he was obliged to con
fess that if tho change were as great
everywhere as he found it to be here,
then tho people of Saluda had found
the best solution.
