PLANT TOBACCO
AS A MONEY CROP.

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.

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.
A Csrdbcsrd Capita!.
Every time I come to Paris I arr
sir'it-k with * lit' unreal appearance
< ?f the town, especially in t!ie less
hu.-y quarter whieh lies all round
t lie Champs Ely sees. The tall,
blank gray houses, with their pray
wooden shutters, iook no more real
than the cardboard houses in a stage
play. Moreover, it seems impossible
than any one is alive inside the
houses. You never see a face at a
window, and no one ever seems to
emerge through the great brown
doors?doors which are obviously
made of painted cardboard and not
wood. The grayness, the monotony,
the absence of colors, the comparative
silence, are incredible after
the warm colors, the red brown
skies, the portentous, seething

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. "And now,
mum, we'll jist have to take tlie
