SHALL THEY BE PUNISHED?
There seems to be a wide difference
of opinion as to the pardoning of political
prisoners. It is asserted on the
one hand that the war being over Eugene
Debs and other prisoners who
opposed the war should be pardoned.
But on the Other hand, it is contended
that it would be a bad example to permit
anyone to commit offenses against
me government in time of war with
the certainty that when the war is over
he will be pardoned.
One of the flagrant cases of opposition
to the war and to the government
is that of Eugene Debs.
in t>pptwnng governmental authority
Eugene Debs wrote among othc, violent
anarchistic sentiments this parapraph,
"It is a question not of reform,
the mask of fraud, but of revolution.
The flag, the only flag of freedom,
we reaffirm it and on this day,
pledge a new fidelity?come life, I
come death?to the blood red banner J
of revolution."
The "Appeal to Reason," a paper
that was suppressed during the war,
published a great mass of matter in
opposition to the government of which
this paragraph is a sample: |

^ ? [JRNEVERY MINUTE !
B|0bs warnuiii who accounted for
his^^at ^success as a showman, by
T^esuitcir.ent that "there is a fool
born every minute."
One of the very latest evidences of
the truth of this statement is that a
lot of swindlers in New Orleans have
been making bin money by selling
^^?beautifully engraved certificates of
Wm stock in League of Nations, Italians
WF and other foreigners, living in New
Orleans, were the victims of this
'scheme. They had heard so much of
.the League of Nations that they
' thought it be a good thing to
put their money in. expecting to get
big dividends. Barnum was right.
A WORTHY MONUMENT
It has been proposed that a monument
be erected on the most popular
? thoroughfare in Atlanta to Woodrow
Wilson.
Mr. J. L. McCar, one of the leading
citizens of Atlanta, is backing the
movement.
Mr. Wilson began his official career
in Atlanta, practicing law there
in early manhood. Mr. McCord stated
that a monument standing at Five
, jroinis would hold before the people
_ a*' ideal of one of the greatest statesmen
and Christians who ever lived.
With Henry Ford fi^htin^r the Jews
and Tom Watson fitfhtinjr the Catholics,
the rest of us had better take tv>
the woods before another crusader
arises.
A Georgia tax payer whose total
tax was four cents wanted to pay it
in four installments. He probably was
from Chesterfield, but we can't miss

j FORAGE FOR HOGS
Now is the time to make preparation
for cheap pork production by
, planting forage crops fcr summer and
j fall grazing. It is a wel' established
fact that good forage crops reduce
the cost of producing pork from one!
third to one-half. There u?~e a number
of good forage crops: for hogs adaptable
to South Carolina tnnt should be
planted during this month or the following
spring months. Among these
crops are the following, suggests C.L.
Morgan, Extension animal husbandman
:
Cowpeas. Sow April 15 to July 15,
at the rate of Va bushel driied in 30inch
rows or 1 M> bushels broadcast
per acre. Cowpeas may be sown alone,
with sorghum, or in rows between
corn. An acre of cowpeas will produce
from 125 to 225 pounds of pork per
acre.
Soybeans. Sow April 15 to June
30, as for cowpeas. Soybeans may
be planted alone or in alternate rows
with corn. They are heavier grain producers
than cowpeas and on the average
produce more pork per acre.
Velvet beans. Sow April 15 to July
1, at the rate of 10 to 12 pounds per
acre in iuwb. Velvet her.an h0**
adapted for planting with corn. The
corn and velvet beans may be hogged
off together. These feeds supplement
each other for hog feeding. They
usually furnish feed after the other
crops are exhausted.
Peanuts. Sow May 1 to July 15, at
the rute of 2 bushels unhulled or 40
pounds per acre in 30-inch rows. Peanuts
have been known to produce 600
pounds or more pork per acre when
popped off. However, peanuts invariably
produce soft pork; so hops fed
on peanuts should be finished on grain
before marketing.
Sorghum. S6w April 1 to June 15.
at the rate of 10 to 12 pounds in rows
or 40 pounds broadcast per acre. Sorghum
fs quick growing summer forage.
It may be sown with early cowpeas.?CJemson

CONCERNING CO-OPERATIVE
MARKETING
1. General Statement?The Proble*"
Clemson College. April"" 9.?So
' much is being said and written about
' co-operative marketing of farm prodr
ucts that in the first article of this
' series on the subject, it is well to rer
view briefly the problem which cooperative
marketing is expected to
I solve. The problem may be stated this
_ \j?q \r '4X-J/%?? ?? - - it- % * * ""
, ...j . uvn may me products of the
- farm be delivered to consumers at the
5 least possible cost for the various operations
involved in making the delivery?"
Or again this way, "Granted
? that the law of supply and demand
s does fix the price which consumers
pay for any product, how may the
1 operations of this law be extended to
the grower and be made to fix the
[ price which he receives for the prod!
uct, minus only the necessary ex
pense of distribution?"
? There is a rather fixed opinion
- among growers of all kinds of crops
that the law of demand has too many
r amendments and riders attached be;
fore it affects the price they receive.
' If this is not true, then farmers are
: all mistaken, everything is really all,
right after all, and they should simp-1
I ly admit that it is their business to
' produce and! be content with their lot,
allowing those who know how to sup
ply consumers with farm products.
Furthermore, if the law of supply and
! demand is fixing the price farmers receive,
then there arc only two ways by
i which they can hope to realize more
from the scale of crops. These are (1)
, by reducing their scale of living; (2)
! by applying scientific methods to
' products so that the unit cost of production
will be less. The first of these
! the southern farmer is dismissing with
' the observation that his scale of living
is the lowest in the country
and cities as evidence our percentage
of illiteracy, our expenditures for
schools, churches and all other public
. institutions, our roads, our bank
clearings and every baromter of pros[
perity to be found. As to the second,
1 they make no argument against the
, application of more scientific and eco.
nomical methods of production, but
on the contrary they apply these
methods wherever possible and point
with pardonable pride to the rapid
I a,.;aoc i ?
kimi fiuvc- oecn maae in this direction.
They are not only producing
more per acre than ever before but
are producing niore per man. They
are still anxious to use the most economical
methods of production wherever
possible and it is to their individual
interest to do so. They are,
however, so handieaped through lack
of working capital that many of them
are forced to take a shorttime view of
economical production rather than a
long-time view which would take into
consideration the problem of permanent
soil fert:liy.
Farmer Wan-tr Fair Share of Proceeds
There is a feeling among farmers
that, notwithstanding every effort is
being put forth to keep down costs,
they are not getting a fair share of
the consumer's dollar. It has been
stated on good authority that in Denmark,
a country where co-operative
marketing is the rule and not the exception,
19 cents of the eonsumer'3
dollar goes to the grower, whereas, in
the United Sates only 8 cents out of
the consumer's dollar goes to the
grower. There seems to be plenty of
justification for the view taken generally
by farmers that their scale of
living is low enough and that costs of
production are about as low as practicable
until they receive a larger
share of the consumer's dollar. Farmers
are also beginning to realize that
in spite of the interest taken in their
problems by others, some of !
interest is genuine and some merely J
assumed for ulterior purposes, it is
after all their problem to get a fair.
share of the consumer's dollar, and ,
that this can be done only through
concerted action. This means co-op-]
erative effort. It should be pointed out
that this desire for a fair share of the
ultimate proceeds of their crop is an
absolutely righteous desire, and that |
to the extent they fail to get their,
dues, the agriculture of the country;
suffers, affecting adversely the whole
country. *
It thus appears that the field which
it would pay farmers best to cultivate
now is the field of co-operative mar-'
I keting. This brings us to a consideration
of the different steps involved in
marketing. What hannnna

produced by Mr. Farmer from the
time he relinquishes possession until
Mr. Consumer takes them over, and
how can Mr. Farmer take a hand in
these happenings in such a way as to
increase his own income? This phase !
of the subject will be taken up in the 1
next article of this series.

said the retired merchant, "and it lias
caused me more grief than the last
attack of rheumatism. I can't reach
tlons, and Mt relief the beat way he
can."
"I con understand Just bow it has
worried you." said the hotelkeeper.
"The fact that you couldn't reach
nround and claw the Itching place
with your fingers kept the matter
fresh In your memory and got on your
nerves. The pursuit of the unattaln,
able always Is more Interesting to us
I than the easier work close to hand.
You had your whole person to scratch,
nnd might have bought a currycomb
for a quarter, and had a good time, but
you couldn't be happy until you had
reached the one Inaccessible spot.
"A while ago I imagined I had
heart disease, and went and saw the |
doctor. He knows I have money In
Hie hank, and am considered good pay,
m lie confirmed my worst fears, and
made up his mind to have me for his
?tnr pntlont, until one of us petered
nit. He threw an awful scare Into me.
*o that I went home sweating Ice cold

"He gnve me some medicines nnd a
ot of Instructions. Among them was
jne to the effect that when I went to
ted I should always sleep on my right
tide. He cautioned me over nnd over
igaln against laying on my left side,
tnd left the Impression that If I dlslheved
him. I'd wake up some mornng
to find myself a candidate for a
lornl horseshoe.
"That matter lookdtl easy at the !
.dnie. nnd I assured the doctor I'd fol- j
o\v Ills hylnws to the letter. When ;
f went to hed that night. I stretched
>ut on my right side, nnd In ten mlnites
I was just suffering to roll over.
[ don't hclleve T ever had such a
mnkerlng for anything. It seemed to
me the height of human happiness
would lie In sleeping on one's left side.
1 followed Instructions for two nights,
ind then I decided that life wasn't
worth such sacrifices, nnd I rolled over
find slept on my left side, and nothing
happened. I was feeling better than
usual next morning when I got up.
"Of course this experience lessened
my confidence In the doctor's Instructions,
nnd I concluded that If I was
coin* to sidestep the Instructions I
might as well sidestep the medicines,
too. for they tasted like low life In a
Chinese alley, nnd I threw the whole
lot out of the window. Thus the sawhones

"Speaking of the unattainable, do
you know what's the matter with Sllns
Furbelow? He has everything a man

would say. He has a beautiful home
and a wife who would be considered a
success anywhere, and he has festoons
of money where It will do the most
good.
"Yet he has a secret sorrow. I
think he's the most melancholy man I
ever saw. and his trouble Is that he
can't raise a good stand of whiskers.
Nowadays, when whiskers are considered
an Infirmity, It seems strange
that any man should grieve over such
a matter.
"He sends all over the United
Htates for hair grower*, and half the
time his face Is blistered or swollen,
and still the whiskers won't grow on
him. If some miracle happened, and
he woke up some morning to find his

within a week; but because they won't
grow, ho won't be happy till he gets

A SCHOOLGIRL complained thai
American history was 00 "littered
up wiui juau?" uui bm couldn't
tell one from the other. Yet this moet
.distinguished family In our national
biography lived in America one hundred
and fifty years before it broke
Into fame.
When the engagement was announced
of John Adams of Brain tree,
Mass.. to the daughter of Parson
Smith of the adjoining town of Weymouth.
people were shocked that Abby
should marry so beneath her station.
Was site not a Qulncy and a Norton?
And John, the son of a small farmer,
was put down to fourteenth place
among his twenty-four classmates,
when Harvard catalogues were made
up according to social rank. After
that he tanght school In Worcester to
got enough money to study lew, end
the strictest of the Puritans lookfd
on lawyers as ungodly.
Fnther-ln-Law Smith was game, end
tradition says that he preached down
Abigail Adamc.
bis gossiping parishioners from this
| well-chosen text: "John came neither
I eating bread nor drinking wine, and
ye say he hath a devil!"
Although she never went to school,
this parson's daughter was by long
odds the cleverest in the entire line of
our president's wives, her published
letters forming a delightfully human
document in our too often unhuman
history. When John joined the fathers
of the republic in the great work of
setting up the most masculine government
the world ever saw, this mother
of the republic hud to stay home te

four little Adamses and to tend the
farm. Milking and churning, knitting

tolling and-saving, abe supported the
family, inspired her husband In hla
progress to the presidency, and reared
a son to follow In the father's footsteps.
To Abigail Adams alone belongs
the glory of having been the wife
of one president and the mother of
another.
In the war, It f?dl to Adams to do
picket duty In Europe. Congress sent
him to France with a thoughtful warning
to put in the bottom of his dispatch
bag plenty of lead or stone or
other weighty substance to sink hla
papers. For his own neck no protection
was proposed In event of the
British capturing a signer of the rebel
manifesto of July 4, 1776. Neverthe
less, ne took with him on the perilous
trip his ten-year-old son, John Qutney.
On the next voyage, he carried not
only John Qulncy, bnt also hla second
son, and they were shipwrecked off the
const of Spain.
After Ave long, anxious years of separation
from husband and children, the
mother herself sailed to Europe, and
the pioneer American woman to appear
at the Court of St. James was
Abigail, the farmerette of Rralntree.
Her presentation costume, according
to her own description, was white lutestring
"covered with white crepe, festooned
with lilac ribbon and mockpoint
lace, over a hoop of enormous
extent, and with a narrow train three
yards lQng; also ruffle cuffs, treble
lace ruffles and dress cap, with long
lace lappets and two white plumes."
"You will he stared nt a great deal,"
the Duke of Dorset kindly warned the
Adamses. On the contrary, every lmck

A man ran defend himself always,
as Abigail's hnsband did right manfully
when It foil to him to bo the flrtd
Independent American to stand before
the throne of England. George III
venturing to Infer from bis supposed
dislike of France, a preference for
England, bis one-time subject frankly
corrected the king: "I must avow to
your majesty that I have no attachment
