This has been the of the high tariff men from < time immemorial. In fact, some of the infant industries so protected have be- ( come gigantic. The steel trust 5 for instance. That little infant j has grown and grown under the fos- , tering hand of the high tariff men un- , til it has developed many millionaires, i Even Andrew Carnegie who made his millions in steel admitted not long before his death that the steel industry did not need protection. But protection has never forsaken the steel barons of Pennsylvania and they have gotten rich at the expense of the people who have to pay big prices for everything made of steel. If is a wonder that somebody doer not spell it "steal industry," with the accent on the steal. In the days of Henry VVatterson and his great paper, the Courier Journal, the iniquities of the steel trust were shown up in thc brilliant style of that great editor. He showed that it was subsidy to the iron masters of Pennsyvania at thy expense of the consumers, but they went on piling up profits and developed such strength, that like the tentacles of the octapus they took in everything in their reach. Of course the present administration of Mr. Harding and the Republican party are the friends of the gigantic trust because of th0 great contribution.-, made by the steel magnates to the late Republican Presidential Campaign. They could hardly be expected to go back on their friends and benefac tors. When you pay an enormous | pri ce for some little article of hard- ; ware, don't blame your merchant, but charge it up to the steel trust and the high protective manufacturers the elephant has out grown his in- . fant wrappings and is monarch of all he surveys. Another pet of the high tariff men is the dye industry. This is likely to become a lusty infant. It has a full set of teeth and an appetite that threatens to devour everythin in sight. Foreign dyes are not only to be taxed to leath in favor ni this growing "infant" bv.t an embargo denying admission tot ! rec years of dye; fiom Germany. The measure was so drastic that such a strong Republican as Con gressnian Frenr, of Wisconsin, led A 1 4 A ..I. nit* iHLur .. OUR CONGRESSMAN HITTING THEM RIGHT AND LEFT Hon. W. K. Stevenson in the tariff debate in Congress a few days ago made a spirited reply to some Congressmen when the matter of taxing long-staple cotton was being Jiscussed. Mr. Stevenson was applauded when he said : "The gentleman has offered an amendment to put compensatory duties on all goods made of cotton an inch and an inch and eighth tn length. We ma!;e a million bales in this country and import only 84,000 bales and therefore 90 per cent, of these goods made from cotton in this country pays no duty at all. The gentleman makes another statement that it is only in the tine goods that long-staple is used. The gentleman forgets that sewing thread is made from longstaple and that all the poorer people have to use sewing thread. The old lady who sits around the fireside and patches the trousers of her husband will have to pay this duty," Then Congressman Ilerrich, of Oklahoma, jumped up and said to Mr. Stevenson: "I would like to have the gentleman give the House the benefit of his knowledge and tell us why the Arizona farmers now have 500,000 bales of long-staple cotton which they can not sell." To this Mr. Stevenson replied: 7 "I do not believe it. The highest have ever made in Arizona and California itf 70,000 bales a year, and it would take several years to make 500,000 bales. In fact, since the crops of Arizona and California were laigo enough to be set out separately in the Government reports up to 1020, they hav(, only produced 100,000 bales of long-staple and it was selling a year ago at $1.50 a pound, and it is impossible to have 500,000 bales on 1 hand, or the man who did not sell at $1.50 per pound does not need tariff protection, but a guardian. There is ? no truth in the 500,000 hales of Arizona long-staple claim. l,No ruch figure as that is to be found in the cotton reports of this country. Somebody has made a mistake or has been dreaming about "" '-LLB THE COTTON OUTLOOK i Don't get discouraged Mr. Cotton ] farmer. There is a good tnuc coining.' .

The W ir Finance C'ofporation . ias agreed to advance this sum for 1 hat purpose. The cotton transactions that will ?e aiTecte-1 by this proposition it is ' laimed will aggregate a'oout 1 000,100 bales. If that does not relieve the situaion and raise the price of cotton we vould like to know the reason why. 3L1MPSES OF SOUTH CAROLINA Under the above head, Mr. Clar?nce Powe, editor of The Progressive Farmer, writes of a recent visit ,o this State. Wc quote part of his article, the conditions he describes in Spartanburg county, might just veil be in Ch"stcrfield county, and we aelieve it will h*> in thr? np?p Cutum "Two things especially impressed I us about Spartanburg county. One is that the farmers have evidently made up their minds that they are going to ha^e rich lands?and rich lands is, of course, the foundation-stone of good farming and other foundation can no may lay. Soy heans, cow peas, anu velvet beans were almost everywhere in evidence. Stubble fields had been sown to peas and in our recollection it seems that in almost every corn field we saw, soy beans or velvet beans had been planted with thej corn, or cowpeas had been sowed at the last cultivation. "The other thing that impressed us was the new interest in lives'ock. ' Or perhaps the interests in livestock ! and rich lands are so mixed up and so j interdependent that they cannot bo seperated. 'We must have livestock if we are to keep up soil fertilization.' as J. B. Anderson puts it, and he feeds beef cattle to effect this result. Moreover, as we heard a great captain of industry like Victor Montgomery proudly recite the records and pedigrees of his beautiful Holsteins (he has one of the finest herds in Am erica) with all the enthusiasm an art connoisseur has i?i Raphaels and Rubenses and Reynoldses, and the same day found the same spirit shown by progressive commercial dairymen like I. T. Willard, we realized that the livestock industry is not only enriching land; it is enriching human exRub-My-Tsm kills infection. 40 ft ftB /& " WBlRr^ " Greatest sport you k to pull out your mab papers and some Pr Albert and roll up a < rette!

A lohg time ago Mr. Gar 1 ton tried alfalfa, but as he used no innoculation and only 400to 500 lbs i sf ground limestone per acre, he met with nothing but discouraging failure. Now since Furman Smith made I him both innoculate and apply seven tons of limestone per acre, he gets as much as six cuttings per acre and lias fields worth going miles to see.

THREE ORGANIZATIONS ENDORSE MADE-IN-CAROLINAS EXPOSITION Charlotte, N. C., Aug. 8.?Back of the Made-in-Carolinas Exposition has been definitely thrown the full strength of three of the leading organizations of North Carolina by action taken within the past few days, according to announcemet today from the executive offices here of the expostion. These organizations are the North Carolina Press Association, the North Carolina Association of Commercial Secretaries, and thP Woman's Club of Charlotte, wtth a membership of 600. The Charlotte Woman's Club voted to undertake the task of organizing a great exhibit which will show the part the women of the Carolinas have taken in promoting the industries. ! The club took an option on at least 1,000 square feet of exhibit. space, an area as large or larger than any other exhibit. Mrs. C. C. Hook, retiring president of the North Carolina Federation of Woman's Clubs, was appointed by Mrs. Eugene Reilley, president of the local club, as executive in charge of assemblying this exhibit, in which all of the numerous women's bodies of the two states will be cordially urged to cooperate to the end that no opportunity will be overlooked and win for the Come c y Fill up you A papers witi :now easily because it's crim : i n' s and it stays put ince I^?s the best bet you 'Jgz- laid that you'll like F D' Albert better than any and rette you ever rolled! te? lnly And listen!

Such an exhibit will be of historica las weli as educational and artistic interest, Mrs. Hook pointed kout, because of the wide variety of products the women in former days assumed full responsibility for manufacture. The present day woman gives part of her time to the manufacture of a great range of articles of beauty and utility, including the products of the canning and similar clubs, all of which will help make up an exhibit that should prove one of the most attractive to be seen at the exposition. Such articles as the old fashioned homespun cloth and the 'processes of and equipment for manufacture, attract these days the keen interest of those whose knowledge of them consists of what they have heard tneir elders say regarding the thing of Civil War days. THE SHOT HOLE BOER OR FRUIT BARK BEETLE At thiB season dead twigs may often be noticed in the peach orchard, and examination will show small holes in the bark similar to those made by shooting a load of No 8 shot into a tree. These holes are made by the fruit bark beetle when laying eggs, the young working in the sap wood. This is among the worst pests of the fruit trees. The bark beetle attacks trees following some injury or other cause that weakens the tree. For example a limb wholly or partly broken off in orchard work, is weakened and immediately attacked by these pests. The same trouble may be caused by permitting brown rot to stay on the trees. Other common causes that weaken trees and brrng about an infestation by this pest are the peach tree borer and th<- San Jose scale. Whether the orchard is large or small, it is very important that the trees be watched with some diligent-*, advises Prof. A. P. Conradi. As soon as an injured limb is discovered ii should be taken out and burned. Where brown rot occurrs and causes twigs to rot, the affected fruit should be removed, together with the injured twigs, and absolutely destroyed. The control of the various fruit insects is discussed in Extension Circular 25 and Information Curd 17, both of which will be sent upon request.?Clemson College. m along I r makings hP.A. ip cut i ever 'rince Prima* Albert t* told In toppy rod riera- tidy rod tin*. ^ o handmomo pound and half pound tin humidor b and In tha rund cryttal glaum t ml dor with iia VO opongo molmtanor ing? fop T Copyright 1921 by R.

HE NEWSPAPER AS AS A CIVIC ASSET The following address was made ^ sfore a meeting of the chamber of momerce of Binghampton, N. Y.f by noted student of pschology? ''A country weekly newspaper dokg a business of $5,000 a year ie ^ >>.3 orth $50,000 to the business and \ "'--j rofessional men of the community, n can be made worth $100,000 a ear. If you don't believe that state tent, try to get along without a newsaper. To talk about 'supporting' your ewspaper-is about as damphoolish s to talk about suport a etor,e a s to talk about supporting a store, a ank, or a manufacturing enterprise. rou would not be much in the world [ you didn't trade in a store, have a ank account and have some outlet or the energy of your citirens. Too lany business men look upon the loal newspaper as an incubus?a sort f calamity. Yet the local newspaper ? as much a public institution as he public library, or the commercial lub?with the difference that R gives nore direct returns in dollars and ents to the individual and to the ommunity at large. "When a progressive man adverises in his local newspaper It is with he avowed intention of building up lis business; but he really also hopes o build up the town more than it loes him. The man who does not pay 'or his share of the town's publicity s a parasite taking advantage of the iberality of his more progressive felowmen. "Can't you tell what sort of a town i place is from the looks of its pajer If the paper is of a boosting tort, and is backed by the business tnd professional men, doesn't the own get a reputation for being progressive? 'The newspaper's stock in trade is publicity.

There are men who will _ ell you that tht-.y don't believe in adkTtising. Do you know why? They ?re content to gather up the crumbs ' hat fall from the table of the progressive merchant who advertises his business and his town. Every time >ne of your stores advertise a sale it brings people into the town; their luying instinct is aroused, and they fisit other stores. The advertiser gets direct returns, but the others take idvantage of his expenditure without i cent of cost. 'You expect your publisher to t>oost your town as one of the best ;>n God's green earth. He is asked to do things for which nobody will sssume the responsibility Every time If* r. c movement put on foot you :all on him to help. But you know the Luiictiona and value of your newspaper as well as I do; so why elaborate? "Let me tell you po3ivt'vely that sve'i mediocre newi.pap *r *.s a great factor tn ihe growth and advancement of a community. There is nevir a time when advertising will not pay.

The community kits a right to expect your co-operation in making the newspaper representative of your community.

"Every bit of publicity produces direct results for the man who pays for t; moreover, it produces results for svery other business and professional nan of the town. Whether he evades lis responsibility or not, it produces results for every man, woman and :hild of the community. "The country editor is not a pigicaded idealist. He is out for the same ? :hing you arc?to make some money, ?nd his best interests are the best inerests of his town. "Do you think it fair that he should (houlder the greatest part of the burlen??that he should give his time, noney and very often his heart's ilood to the service of the community 'or barely n living wage, and some- " imes not even that? Yet these services are offered willingly, given as a 'rec premium on the investment that vill return you sure results. "The newspnper is a civic asset as veil as a civic responsibility.
