I PLANT TOBACCO AS A MONEY CROP. i i ADVICE nr A .'AHMEK MHO HAS FOUND PROF! I IV THE GOLDEN uircn WLLV KDITOIJ COl'NTl liKCWU: ? I am much pleased to>? chat Kingstree is going to buiid a tooacco warehouse. In my humble judgment that is a step in the direction ot progress for - Kingstree ami the surrounding i country. Thre is not n*ng else, in my i opiniou, that will add nunc to the business of a town than a live tobacco market, and, too. 1 will say that there is nothing in the way of & money crop that is better adapted ! to the soil of Williamsburg than! tobacco. 1 wish I could impress it upon every fanner 111 the county to plaut some of his land in tobacco. 1 am flee to admit that some lands are j- v % i much belter for tobacco than others: j but, to take the average land in j this county, it will make two dollars | in tobacco to one in cotton: and then ft ku <mt l.Hi int' of tobacco comes at a vuv fc~*~ O -time when labor is more plentiful, i and instead of taking three to four j mouths, you gather it in four to five weeks. If you want to, by the 15th Of August you can have your tobacco sold ai.d the uicuey in your pocket. Now, brother farmers, 1 don't seeauv use of all this grumbling about the low price of cotton. When we put our whole depemdeuce in cotton for all the money, stock, hay, grain, bacou aud every thing else we want, how Can we reasonably expect anything better? But rather let us divide our money crop, planting some cotton and some tobacco uud, my word for it, you will be pleased with the rew SUlt. Now, some will say we haven't got the labor to handle all this tobacco; but, iu reply, 1 say from experience that we have a plenty of labor in this county to make ten million pouuds of tobacco and the ootton besides. 1 have been planting tobacco tor ten or twelve years and the longer I work it the more I am in favor of it. Aud, too, there | 18 another side of this question and that is this: the old tobacco belt is plftUtiDg all they cau work aud making less and less every yeai and the demaud for tobacco is increasing every day and ereloug South Carolina will be called on for larger per cent of the tobacco. Cau we furnish it? Iansyer, yes. Aud still there is another side to this tobacco question, and tbat is the great trusts aud combines tbat buy it. \\ t-11,1 admit we are in tbeir bands so far as the sale aii. trtKiu>nn irfwi hut whnsp hands VM VUi vvv/wvvv fewvf ? ? - - ? are we in whtn you come to cotton? There is much talk these days about trusts, but Jet me say one thing about the American Tobacco Co:take them Out of the South Carolina markets and we would not get enough for our tobacco to pay the cost of makiug it. Now,it's no use to say that they are forced by competition to pay the price they are paying for tobacco. That's all rot. if it were left to the independent buyers our tobacco would not bring more than 5 cts a pound average. Now, I hope the farmers of South Caioliua won't do as they are doing in Keutucky, run the Americau Tobacco Co only of the State. If so, UUi IVUftVW IliUUCkl J JLO UV^VlVW^i J gone. Let me again urge every farmer to plant some tobacco another year. My clear profits this year will be at least 8 to 1 in favor of tobacco. Verry respectfullv, J Davis Carter, Leo, S C\, October 7, 1908. Weaan Interrupts Political Speaker A well dressed woman interrupted a political speaker recently by continually coughing.

MAN THE NATION REQUIRES. | John A. Johnson the Ideal Occupant of the Presidential Chair. As president Governor Johnson would I have the qualities that might be de scribed as logically and historically needful at this time, representing both 1 in thought and by concrete achievement all of the progressive reforms to which the American people are now i thoroughly committed. His personality [ and bis methods are such that, coming i into office after the strenuous and eveu j terrifying political and financial expe- ; riences of recent years, he would be prepared to hold all that has l?een gain cd. restore an era of good fee.lng and j smoothly and comfortably prepare the way for such additional advanced legis- ; lation as the times require In a word. Governor Johnson is precisely the kind of leader the nation requires at this time, ready for new legislation to meet aew needs, but careful and conservative in his methods The same confi deuce inspiring, vote getting attributes that have made Governor Johnson so popular in Minnesota that there is ab solutely u<> <picstion that be could car- ' ry the state as the I>ein<ieratic presi- I di'Qtiai nominee will make him equally j popular ?i!h the voters of the nation ' once they have an opponunity to t>e- | come acqu.iin.e.l with the man. Every |H>liticnl campaign lias its in- | dividual conditions. It is found in this contest that Governor Johnson possesses a strength peculiar to hint alone and by which he is certain to bring to the Democratic |wrty upward of a mil- } lion votes in the middle west that have j hitherto been Itepublk-nii. This condi- I tion insures l>eyond a reasonable doubt victory for Democracy and Governor Johnson in the following states: Min nesota. North and South Dakota. Illinois. Wisconsin. Iowa. Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, MoBtana, Washington and Michigan. PLATFORM BROAD AND STRONG Declarations of Governor Johnson All Democrats Will Indorse. ? "The man from Minnesota" believes In the "immediate revision of tbe tariff. to the end that articles now controlled in America by illegal and immoral combination* may be deprived of their tariff power to rob the community." Lie believes that tariff revision is one of tbe most important; works for the correction or tne aouses that are plaguing the country. Be believes that the maintenance of government by the people Involve# the least Interference by federal flower with the domestic affairs of the states consistent with efficient national ad ministration. Be believes in the constitution. "For a president." he says, "to go outside the constitution, even to accomplish a beneficent purpose. Is to enter the road that leads to the destruction of repub lies." He is opposed to the government ownership ot railways by state or nation, but as his acts show, Is a strong believer in Just and rigorous regulation. He is opposed to oversea expansion. He favors "the peaceful consolidation of the continent from Panama to the arctic circle." lie Is opposed to great military establishments, but believes tbat the size of the American navy must necessarily be determined to some extent by the naval activities of other countries. He is opposed to snip suosiuivs. "You can't kill combinations," be says, "but when you come in to crush the business of Individuals they must be opposed as evils." He believes iu an income tax. lie believes in the just and equal enforcement of law and that the observance of the law is as incumbent upon the rich and powerful as upon the poor and weak. LEADER IN INSURANCE REFORM Whole Country Benefited by Action of Governor Johnson. Having had some valuable experience In reorganizing a powerful Minnesota Insurance company, Governor Johnson was well prepared to deal with the emergency which arose when the corruption and extravagance of the management of the great national life insurance companies were revealed in 1905. In November of that year he wrote a letter to President Roosevelt r,i.no,i him in the frnnf rank of TV UXV.U [iiavvu UIUJ 4ti national leaders. In this letter the governor suggested a conference of governors and attorneys general to be called by the president at Chicago. The conference was held In the following February, and Governor Johnson, as Its chairman and dominant figure, named the famous "committee of fifteen" whose recommendations were embodied in the law in Minnesota and In about a dozen other states. While the momentous decision recently given by the supreme court In 6lmilar cases coming up from North Carolina and Minnesota may nave uie effect of invalidating some of the railway legislation secured by Governor Johnson In Minnesota, fhe fact remains that he has done what he set out to do and secured the enactment of popular and beneficent legislation. If, as now seems probable, the epoch making de? eision of the court in large measure transfers railway legislation from the states to the national legislature, it becomes of particular significance that one of the earliest acta of Governor fohuson's career as a member of the Minnesota legislature was the Introduct iou of a memorial to congress to extend the powers of the interstate commerce commission, a memorial which antedated the extension of thoee powers by some four years.

Imagination Left Unassisted. A Germantown woman discovered one morning recently that her maid Nora had broken the thermometer that hung in the reception hall. "Well, Nora," sighed the mistress of the house in a resigned way, "you've managed to break the thermometer, haven't you ?" "Vis, mum," replied the maid in a tone equally resigned.
