There has been such a flood of grat- | ituitous advice to the farmers from sou many sources lately that the farmers , are doubtless thoroughly disgusted. | , The great numbers of letters, eircu- j lars, posters, dodgers, interviews and j public speech from and by men who , knows less about farming than any- < thing else that have deluged the col-;, umns of the press for the past six j we 'ks, has been enough to disgust the , farmers with what they term "arm j ( chair" city farmers for all time to t come. Following hard upon the re-' ( cent Cotton Conference' called by the | governor and held in Little liock, I, there has been a regular flood of ad- < vice to the farmers to diversify their ] crops. 1 1 hope the real farmers who farm ? with their hands instead of their i mouths, so to speak, wil'. have oity on i the city fellows who have been giving jt so much advice on diversification. ; noubtless a good many of them who | know nothing about diversification thought the farmers were more ijg- j | norant than they were which to my ; own certain knowledge is by no means | the case. As a matter of fact, I would I ( like to see a lot of these bankers and ; business men stood up in a row and j ( taught a lot of things by the farmers.' i The farmers of Arkansas are just t about as well up on farming as the ; bankers and business men are on bus- ( iness, and can come nearer to teach-' ing them, than being taught by them.'t In addition to this, it can be said to ] y the credit of the farmers that they, as1] 1 ' "a~ class, are a reading and thinking people, and better informed about i the functions of government, federal ( and state, than the bankers and busi- i ness men and this is said with no dis-, 1 respect to the latter. All this campaigning to teach the' 1 farmers how to feed themselves is j gratutious, uninvited and uncalled for j j advice. The farmers are not such j simpletons as not to know how to; i raise their own meat, the bread and i corn, oats and hay. to feed themselves'' and their stock. They know how and ; iney Know tin necessity. What they ; I want from the honkers and business | men is help to hold or handle their : present cotton crop, and keep it out 11 of the hands of the speculators. After < the cotton crop gets out of the hands I of the farmers i< will do them no good | > for the price to go up. What the far-11 mors need is substantial help now in 1 lime of need, and not a sluice of advice. It will be an everlasting; dis- t grace if the banks of the South let the cotton get out of the hands of the far- j mors for want of financial help, and then furnish the money to the spepcu- < la tor with which to hold and handle . the crop and get the advantage of the i higher prices that come later. Then high sounding letters of advice to the farmers instead of substantial help, |g while well meant and conscientiously I c given, is not going to meet the full expectations of the agricultural i classes. They have asked for bread 1 and been given a stone. t A campaign is being organized to;* teach the farmers how to diversify : and feed themselves. \"o i-ainnaicnli has l?et*n organized to furnish the < money or means to the farmers to i enable them to diversify. It is money i and credit the farmers net VI now, much worse than advice. JOHN H. I?A<;K. Commissioner.

Wilse W. Martin, who conducts a harness making establishment on Hampton street, between Main and Assembly, manufacturers and ship >ut of Columbia about MOO sets of harness every year to his local business. The leather use d in making the harness has been coming from Canada, but there may be trouble hereafter in getting raw material from across the order as Canada is shipping largely to England during the war. Mr. Marin declares that he thinks there diould be a great tanning industry in he South. South Carolina buys more larness than any other State in the south and there is not a tannery in he State. The nearest are at Buford, Ja., and Cleveland. Ten. Mr. Martin declares that if the South seizes her opportunity to proluce live stock, slaughter and packing louses should be started here and hen tanneries and leather manufacturing industries would follow as a natter of course. It is the varied inlustries, he says, that the South must seek in the future.?The State. jonesVillfT Jonesville, Nov. 21.?Rev. Lewis M. Rice tilled his pulpit Sunday morning ind evening. 1 heard Brother Rice in he morning and 1 always enjoy his sermons, lie is a pood earnest, all ound preacher and always pives us something worth the poinp to church 'or. Rev. J. A. Cook preached his last sermon here for the conference year sunday nipht. Brother Cook, too. alvays has a pood 1 ?i 11 of fare for his learcrs. lie left Tuesday for the anuial conference at Sumter. The Metliidist preachers nor their conprepaions never know whether thev will he eturned or not. except when their 'our year term is up. Brother Cook's hurches would like to have him reurned. Brother I'orter over in the Presbyterian manse is very quiet and le delivers pood sermons to his eonrrcpations here each month. Bv the >vav, the Presbyterians will soon he vorsrwppmg in their new handsome hureh. Spiritually, our churches are ihout holding their own, if that is a proper word for normal conditions. As to the financial condition it is >retty much like it is over in the war 'one. There is lighting all along the ine to get the preachers' salary ami iot mu"h progress at any point. Speaking of the war makes me think )f how savage our human race is, especially the male population. It seems .he blue blood, fame, education, nor lnything else, will tame the temper pr ambition of men?the savage temper will crop out and show itself like the hyena or wild cat. The German raiser is a praying man and claims recognition by his Lord, but ho prays specially for tile success of the Germans which means the death of hunireds of thousands of the allies and lie destruction of their property and he suffering and dying of millions of ivomon and children and it appears to me that such prayers are inconsistent .11,1 will .1. .? ..... ..v*vi i < <u ii tin* i iirone <>i rrace or the Father of all blessings. Suppose the other side was to pray in the same spirit, which no doubt they do, and it is easy to see th -e would be no answer. The poor peasants of those countries in war are to lie pitied?not a foot of laid do they possess or anything else to fight for, md yet the poor devils will suffer and deed and die at the call of their ountry and leaders. Well, I suppose I had better not say too much on this subject for I did the same thing in he early sixties, but our cause was a it tie different from the Germans. Mr. George K.

Manchester, Knyland, Nov. 20.? file commemoration of Belgian herosm has yone so far as to include a lew ran ye of color names such as 'I^iege brown" and "Louvain blue." I'he Manchester (luardian protests that though these names were well neant, " they are not the kind of L-omniemoration one wants for such vents." The paper continues: "The most famous case of a color lamed after a battle is magenta. It .vas invented shortly after the battle >f Magenta in lH.r>9, at which the French and Sardinians, under Marihal MacMahon, inflicted a sensationil defeat on the Austrians, and MacMahon won his title of Duke of Ma'chtu. "The color magenta is interesting hi uiiuuk'i way. ii was one oi me first of the aniline dyes to be invented. It was a very brilliant crimson, ind it had an enormous popularity for that reason. It was the first time that people had seen the peculiar brilliancy of aniline trlare. The mass of people did like it from the first, but people with any pretensions to aesthetics taste counted it a fatal defect of the new aniline colors. The chemists tried to meet their criticisms, and succeeded in softening or 'saddening' many aniline colors. Nowadays post-impressionism has unset aesthetics, and the brilliant colors which the mass of unsophisticated people innocently loved all alontr have now trot fairly into fashion."
