In spite of all effort, however, this country remains tide chief source of supply, though growing demand gives spirit to pro longed experiment. The governmen. of South Africa has been lately giving help to the operations of a British syn dicate organized to establish cotton growing on a large scale, backed fin ancially by the great spinners of Lan cashire. Up to this time a lack of proper labor supply appears to hare proved an Insuperable difficulty, though ottler conditions seem favorable.

Witti a versatility that hss no ex ample In the politics of this country, the lion hunter who a little while ago spoke for Senator Beveridge in Indi ana has also spoken for Senator Lodge In Massachusetts. On the supreme Is sue before the country the position of tie two Senators Is irreconcilable. In the extra session or this Congress Sen ator Beveridge stood with his Insurg ent associates fighting Senators Al drich, Lodge an dHale. of the Commit tee on-Finance, Inch by Inch on the tariff bill. The Republicans of Indiana Lave denounced the bill as a violation of party pledges, and have Indorsed the course of Senator Beveridge. Sen ator Lodge is one of the foremost de- fendera of the bill In an elaborate re port An which he has undertaken to prove that the tariff has nothing to do There Is a poesibilfty that unmo™» , . of c0mnl0 dities. veR. The two Senators, widely differ ing on the only political question now pressing for solution, are his personal friends, as he says, end may 'be useful to his ambition. That outweighs all la the small farm lies the future of the South. The difficulty in getting negro labor that Is willing to work, the much more profitable results o Intensive agriculture, the fact that it has been demonstrated that It pays .better to raise one to two bales of cotton to the acre than a third of a (bale, and other crops in proportion, and. above all, the rapidly Increasing value of farming lands, all tend to lead to the splitting up of large plan tations and the establishment of the farms of 100 to 300 acres, occupied and worked by their owners. It is this trend that means the most for the South el the future. This will bring its rapid development along all lines. As It comes about the conditions .at life in the country will become vast- ’ | y better and more desirable, each county Will sho# a tremendous in crease In 'assessable ^alues. roads, schools, everything that makes life more pleasant outsido o fthe cities, w'ill ■how a vast betterment. Agriculture will never revert to its former condi tion of Irksomeness and hardship. It As destined more and more to become a life not only of comparative freedom, but of Increasing comfort, pleasure and profit And the smaller farms will do their part In establishing this new state.

That U new potency. the Instances of Intensive agriculture in -America pale in Interest alongside of those afforded by the market gar dens of such countries as France and ’ Belgium. Think of a little farm of two and a half acres which gives em ployment for a full working day to eight men dnd women and which alleged to give nearly 125 tons weight of produce during one season; This seems Incredible, but one Instance is given by Ernest Poole In Success Mag azine. It was a French market gar ■dener, toy the way, who demonstrated _mt Kansas City, last year, that one acre intensively cultivated ■ will produce enough to support a small family— not merely furnish it food for Its own sustenance, but enough to sell and thereby secure the other necessaries .of life. This was done at a minimum expenditure of fertilizer and on ordi nary aolL But the French farmer has studied the art of making the soil produce Us utmost and he not only does this, but lie actually makes hla own soil. Hav ing made It he considers it persoual property, and If a lessee he carries hls soil away with him when he surren dors hla lease. More than half the farms of France, we are told, are but two or two and'a half acres In extent and no wonder. The rent of the land would buy a small farm in Sumter coun ty, with all this section’s euperb ad ■vantages. Two and a half acre* of this French land we are told would rent for from $500 to $1250 a rear. This Is for the mere foundation on which he -spreads this soil he has made and the ®nsn buildings. Yet the French far- over pays such rents and makes enough to Uve on In comfort, to keep a balance in hank and even. It would eeem, to invest to good securities.

Root had been called on to answer the charges that Roosevelt wia platting to secure a re-nomlnatiou and that hls “New Nationalism" was sub versive of the Constitution. There had evidently been another Macedonian call from Teddy and the national ad ministration had once qiore ccane his help. . Senator Root did not mince matters. He openly declared that much' of the opposition to the Republican ticket In New York grew out of the desire to punish Roosevelt “A good many Re publicans at this time,” aald Senator Root, “eeem disposed to ignore all. fee grave .and substantial iasuea which are before the people of this state mi to vote at the coming election upon no issue whatever, .but simply as an ex pression of feeling against Mr. Roose velt, whose course regarding national affairs they disapprove for one reason or another, and whom they desire tr punish by defeating the party to which they belong, in which they believe and which they have long loyally support ed because he holds a distinguished and potent place in the councils and activities of the party.” While insisting that Taft Is the log ical candidate of his party In 1912 pro vided the party receives “no crushing defeat,’’ Senator Root was equally pos itive that If such a defeat were met It might mean Roosevelt for 1912. “After election people don’t scrutin Ize the multitude of reasons which may have contributed to tLe result, continued Senator Root. "They seo only the general .result, and If it should happen that the Administration cannot hold Its own party together, the na tional convention would be quite likely to look for a Moses to lead tluem out of the wilderness, and it might go to Mr. Roosevelt or It might go t-o one of the far more -radical leaders who are how looming up on the political hor izon to the North and Middle West Make no mistake, my friends, so Iir as this election in thejshate of New York bears any relation to national affairs, Republican votes for the Re publican ticket strengthen tbe Admin istration in the parky and Republican SPLENDID BUCKEYE vim - TZ Z IT" ' Married and Unmarried, Praise the Remedy, M9ig| p e ; Miss Nora Kelley. mm ; Mrs. Victoria}!
