Throughout the State, today, there is a great deal o? agitation in favor of public libraries. Sumter is very for tunate in having one, and is doubly -fortunate in having built it several years ago, when building material was so abundant, and labor was so cheap. - The building at that time, with the i heating plant a:id all plumbing fix tures and furniture cost exactly ten thousand dollars. It would be mere guess work to estimate the cost today. It is not unreasonable to assume that the co-5t would be at least twice that amount. v>> The.library is a great benefit to the j community, and being situated on the school campus, it is a matter of great ?convenience to the pupils and teach ers of the public schools. Mr. Carnegie, who died last summer, in years.to come;will be remembered, not as a great steel magnate, but as one who enabled so many communities and institutions to procure buildings for their libraries. The great work that he has done in this respect is due to the inspiration that came to him in his own life, in the great need that he felt, while a bey, for reading mate rial of the right sort. Many cities throughout America will have reason, in years to come, to think kindly of Mr. Carnegie and the purposeful in spiration that has put good books'j within the reach of thousands of read ers. . Raise Your 3Inlcs at Home. Columbia, Nov. 17.?"It is cheaper to raise horses and mules in South Carolina than it is to buy them? cheaper by one-half," says Commis sioner Harris who has had enough ex perience to know what he is talking about. ''There is no State in the Unit ed States;that, can raise a horse or mule or pound of pork or dairy pro ducts or pound of mutton any cheaper than can be done in the State of South Carolina. We now know that the boll weevil will invade South Carolina, for he's here. And it now behooves the people of this State to diversify their farming so as to raise every thing that the farmer will need for food for himself and family and for the live stock on his farm. What lit- j tie cotton he grows will be his own j and he will be able to name his own! price. In fact diversified agriculture is I the only system by which a farm can be made a business enterprise. Now. let's see if the above statement as to the cost of raising colts is a fact: "A farmer needs only one and 1-4 acres to pasture and raise all the feed a colt will need from the time it is six months until it is three years old. aud ready for the collar. How would I plant this land to do this? I will answer from experience. Sow the 1-4 acre in Bermuda grass and the acre lot in oats, wheat and vetch. Sow by October 10th and cut about 15th of May when, the grain gets in the 'dough' state. Immediately break this stubble and plant in corn of some early variety. "I would build a stable in one cor ner of the grass lot ami make a loft to hold 2 1-2 tons of hay, to have the feed handy. I would repeat this for three years and by putting the manure back on the soil, I would reduce the ^fertilizer and improve the lot every year. At the end of three years when the mule is sold I would have at least $35 worth of feed on hand. "Instead of a farmer buying a mule every year or two, he should raise at least one or two every year. Tim mares would perform about as much farm work as mules up to the very foaling time, and the farmer would be saved the expense of buying fresh stock from time to time. "Since I have been farming, 39 years, I have never bought a horse, and I don't use mules. I bought a filly colt for $30 before I was married and I haver aised every horse that I have used on my farm ever since. There is no good in a mule when he lies down and dies, but a mare will leave the farm well stocked when she goes, and will have done as much work as the mule. "The amount of money sent out of South Carolina for mules and horses is a shame, when we consider that it could ail be saved, and that we would | by raising more live stock grow more; grain at home instead of buying it! also at fancy prices. Recently I had some of the inspectors of this depart ment to take a census of mules and horses bought in some of the counties. Here are some of the startling figures: "In Lee county. 1,300 head bought, average price $225. total $295.000; Darlington, 1.200 head, average price $225. total $250.000: in Sumter coun ty. $650,000. The inspectors visited the dealers and got this information. These horses and mules could have been raised in those counties from foaling to three years old under the system I have outlined, at a cost of $10 per head, and by that method the land all the time would be improved. "I wouid be willing to make good "what any man would lose who would follow out honestly and sincerely the method I have outlined. And he will get a better mule or horse than he could buy in Missouri or West Ten nessee or Kentucky. To raise good stock mules, it is necessary to have a mare to weigh not less than 1,250 to 1.300 pounds and the best for breed ing work stock are grade Percherons. 1-2 to 3-4 full blood. Of course, I judgment must he used in buying mares of good conformations, good I heads, feet and legs, and bred to a : good jack. The offspring will give en j tire satisfaction if the colt is given a I plenty to eat. ;The trouble about rais ing colts in the South has been that they are put in a dry lot which is call ed as pasture, and the colt has to turn the rocks over to get a little grass. A colt will not be a success if you don't give him enough to eat. By the'sys i tern I have outlined in the outset, he will have all the feed that he can eat. . "If those counties that I have re ferred to had raised their stock in their own barn lots and pastures, they would have saved thousands of dol lars directly and many more thou sands indirectly. Not in eeach case, but in a general way the South has been buying too much on a credit? corn, oats, hay, flour and bacon, all coming from the West to be paid for in . the fall of the year. And that's the very reason why the price of cot ton has always been depressed. Just think:' "If we had no supplies to pay for in the fall of the year, our cotton would be oars, not somebody's that never turned1 a hand to make it. ^Therefore, I say: "The boll weevil is our friend. It is the only remedy that has yet been found to cure this back-number lack of system of farming, and to make our farmers run their places on a business plan." < Japanese-American Relations from a Japanese Viewpoint. Tokioj, Oct 9.?Anti-Japanese agi tation is. says the Nichi-Nichi, a cal endar event in the United States and it is not astonishing that there should at this time be a revival of it in he Pacific States. It is high time, says i the paper, to appeal to thoughtful Americans when legislative bills and resolutions directed against Japanese and resulting from such agitations are proposed; ancLthese go the length of impairing the good name of the Jap anese Empire. Former Senator, Theodore E. Bur ton, of. Ohio, now staying in Tokio, is quoted as sayng the agitation is engineered for purposes of American domestic politics, and has nothing to do with racial prejudices. The Nichi Nichi disagrees with Mr. Burton and expresses the belief that racial preju dice plays an important part in these agitations, with the danger of imperil ing the friendly relations between Japan and the "United States. Discussing1 the Japanese-American relations the Yorodzu says that when the United States entered the war in 191*7, the Japanese in America gave their most hearty support to the America n cause, and even the Pacific States he came p:o-Japanese. all their former anti-Japanese agitation being completely shelved for the time. But from about the time when the Armistice was signed last year, and especially after the introduction of the j racial equality proposition at the Pa- j ris conference by Japan, the pend?- j lum again began to swing backward and once more anti-Japanese move ments in the form of legislative and j other measures are nowv "rife through- j out California and other Western j States." I "In short,'; says the paper, "the! United States is now seized by Jap- j anophobia." "This, says the Journal, j "is a shame to American intelli gence." Would Be a Good law for U. S. Buenos Aires. Oct. 3.?Strict regula tions have been issued by the Federal Director of Immigration governing the entry of foreigners into the re public, in an effort to prevent the "in discriminate admittance of undesir ables.1" Not only will a passport and consu lar vise at the port of embarkation be required, but "every foreigner, with out exception whatever and regardless of whatever class they travel, must hold a certificate from the judicial or police authorities from where the traveler proceeds, stating that he has not suffered any legal penalty for of fenses against the social order during the five years previous to his arrival in Argentina or for offenses which have involved degrading punishment." The regulations are effective for travelers coming from Europe and the United States. Austrian and German Embassies in Paris. Paris. Oct. 15.?The sumptous for mer Austrian embassy in Paris, known as the Galliera Palace, is for sale, as the present impoverished Austrian government can no longer afford its upkeep. The embassy building, where Austrian princes used to entertain royally, is situated on the Rue de Varenne, on the south side of the river Seine, and boas'> the last private park that is worthy of the name, in the French capital. Baron von Lersner. the German Charge d'Affairo: and staff have just gone int<? furnishet ,?artments in the more fashionable part of the Champ de Mars quarter. Germany is keeping on her luxuriously appointed ambassadorial home on the Hue do Lille for at lea-*t another year, when the- Germans expect that a full ambas sador will again represent them in Paris. England's Hospitality to Belgians. London, Oct. 15.?Of some 2.r,0,000 Belgian refugees who nVd to this coun try during th*' war. the Ministry of Health estimates that there are less than 20.000 here today, the rest hav ing returned to their own land or France. To care for Belgian refu gees has cost England by private moans and government support 9,000, 000 pounds. / =-? REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS ] Mayesville Township. Oct. 25?M. J. Sumter to M. J.
