PEACE HATH ITS VICTORIES--NO LESS THAN WAR
The world stands aghast at the conditions and results
of war ! Few realize the narrow veil between peace and
war; the verge of events which might produce disturbance
at a moment’s notice.
To the pure, all things are pure; to the peaceful, all
things are peaceful; to the unsuspecting, all things are right.
Theije is an underlying condition of strife all about us,
all the time: it is noted in individuals, in families, in communi
ties.
A continent has been plunged into a serious war almost
without warning; but that war did not develop in a few days;
it had been in the hearts of men for a long time.
In this community, men plan daily activities in the suppo
sition that peace is a permanent possession.
We want to live at peace with all men; to pursue our
daily activities without fear of molestation; without thought
of interference; without expectation of opposition.
So long as men are right in their contact with men there
will be no occasion to dispute their personal liberties; when
they become wrong, there is public sentiment which steps in
•and objects.
But the need of the times is for a brotherliness which in
sures peace; a helpfulness which compels respect of the rights
of each.

Mr. M. E. Rutland, Mayor of Batesburg, Sells
$2,000 Worth ol Hogs—Raises Everything
He Needs, and Makes Colton a
Surplus Money Crop
His Live Stock Industry Worth More to Him Than a Big Cot
ton Crop, even Though He Could Price For His
Cotton-- Raises Cattle and His Barn Presents Magnificent
Sight---A Pen Picture of What the Southern Farmer is
Doing. „
WALTER E. DUNCAN
Staff Correspondent,
The Augusta Herald.
Batesburg, S. C. —The mayor of
Batesburg, Mr. M. E. Rutland, is one
of the most progressive farmers of the
"ridge” section. As a farmer Mr. Rut
land is an inspiration. What he has
done, what he has achieved has not
been accomplished merely by growing
cotton; and while, because of the de
pression in the cotton market due to
stagnation in the financial world aris
ing out of the European war, Mr. Rut
land will this year have some 200 bales
of cotton to carry over, high food
prices will affect him but little.
Making cotton a surplus mofiey crop,
Mr. Rutland long ago learned how to
farm. With him the first considera
tion is to raise enough to feed his
family, his farm hands and his stock.
Food crops come first, cotton after
wards.
Had the average Southern farmer
realised the value and of
diversified crops as long ago as did
Mr. Rutland and gone in for aising
live stock, the problem of holding this
year’s cotton crop would be less acute.
In the first place there would not now
be a monster 15,000,000 bale crop, tne
average farmer would have ample hay
and grain and provisions to run him
a year or two and, besides, something
else on which to raise money. There
would have been no need of a ‘‘buy-a
bale" movement.
A cotton grower, Mr. Rutland de
votes first attention to livestock. He
tells me that his shoats pay him bet
ter than his cotton, even though he
might always get 12'/4 to 15 cents a
pound for his cotton, considering the
comparative cost in raising cotton and
growing live stock.
Feeds Man and Beast.
Mr. Rutland lives in the town over
the destinies of which he presides, but
he gives his personal attention to the
operation of three farms in the "ridge"
section. Two of these farms embrace
each 300 acres, and one 725 acres. On
these 1,325 acres he raised, as 1 have
said, only about 200 bales of cotton.
Much of his land is given over to
pastures, all fenced, and the remainder,
what is not planted in Cotton, is sowed
in grain.
A Magnificent Sight.
On the farm of Mr. Rutland near the
city which I visited I was treated to
a magnificent sight. I wish that ev
ery farmer in South Carolna might
see it. it was a sight of plenty.
There is a large three-story barn,
with stables below, fn the big.roomy
second floor Mr. Rutland is storing
away his grain and hay crop—vetch,
oats ,a world of peavine hay, com
stover piling higher and higher until
It Is already reaching the celling and
there is more and more to come,
"I don’t know*where I am going to
put It all.” said Mr. Rutland.
“In one corner were stored 101 bush
els of rye, all sacked, which were
raised on eight or nine acres after
Mr. Rutland had quit grazing his cat
If we are going to have peace in our country, we must
have peace in our communities, peace in our organizations,
peace in our commercial enterprises, peace in churches,peace
in families, peace in individuals.
In the Beatitudes there is the expression, “ Blessed are
the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of
God.”
It doesn’t say “blessed are the “peace-keepers” or the
“peace-seekers;” it says “blesed are the peace-makers.”
Ifwearetobeblessed.it will be for making peace; we
must help to bring about peace; in ourselves, first; and a fine
example of peace is quietly radiated to those about us.
In our communities, of course; because, having effected
peace in our communities, we have reason to believe its in
fluence will be shed in larger circle.
In our church organizations; because, in that way, we
will have a larger example of good to show to the world in
general.
Men need to guard well their hearts, training them for
peace; in expectation, that with peace may come brotherli
ness; with peace may come blessings; with peace we may
have “Kingdom of Heaven within us,” round about us,sharing
its blessings now; enjoying its advantages now; helped and
helping by it. _ .
tle on the field and, as he said, thought
it was all grazed out.
The entire third story of the barn
was full of corn left over from last
year’s crop, enough, as he told me,
to feed on all winter. Green corn Is
being ground up and fed to-the hogs.
And there are many acres of this year’s
crop yet to be gathered and put away
somewhere.
Money in Hogs.
“I have already sold this year $1,822
worth of, hogs,” Mr. Rutland told me
after referring to a memorandum book
which he took from his pocket and
consulted when I asked him the ques
tion.
He still has 30 brood sows and 125
pigs, in round numbers. Mr. Rutland
raises nothing except registered stock.
He pointed out a registered Tamworth,
a magnificent specimen, which he will
send this fall to the fair in Richmond,
where he is a regular exhibitor, hav
ing borne away many prizes and blue
ribboAs. He has nine Tamworths each
of which is worth SIOO or more. The
finest hog I have seen in many a day
was a Berkshire boar which Mr. Rut
land values very highly. He has also
a number of Jersey Duroes.
For six weeks old Tamworth pigs
7 r. Rutland gets $lO apiece, and as he
told me, he never sells any pig for less
than $5, and finds it impossible to
supply the constant denuind.
Also Raises Cattle.
On his place near the city Mr. Rut
land is magnificently fixed for raising
live stock. He has built separate pens
for feeding, and when I was out there
Wednesday he was plowing up a field
to sow' a crop of winter grain.
Mr. Rutland also raises a few reg
istered cattle. At present he has about
20 head. Among these is the finest
hull in this section. Two years old, he
weighs 3,400 pounds, and is a prize
winner. Another, only eight months
old, is a close second. These, it is
hardly necessary to add, are not for
sale.
Encourages Others to Follow Example.
One of the best county fairs in South
Carolina is held every fall at Bates
burg. Behind the Tri-County Fair—
embracing Lexington, Saluda and Aik
en counties—Mr. Rutand has been
from its inception the moving spiriC
Until recently he was president of the
fair association, but having built up
the institution he has turned it over
to others. Not long ago a meeting
of the directors of the Tri-County Fair
was held to determine whether or not,
under the existing depressed condi
tions, an attempt should he made to
hold a fair this fall. There were some
in attendance upon the meeting who
urged that no fair be held, hut Mr.
Rutland took an opposite stand, con
tending that the-farmers need now the
s.lmulus of the fair more than ever,
and the meeting resulted in the decis
ion to hold a bigger and a better fair
than ever.
Mr. Rutland Is one of the chief ex
hibitors, as he is the mainstay of the
fair. And many a "ridge” farmer, see-

ing what Mr. Rutland has accomplish
ed. has gained inspiration and gone In
lor stock raising.
Joins “Buy-a-Bale” Club.
Though he will have something like
200 hales of his own cotton to hold,
Mr. Rutland has joined the Batesburg
“Buy-a-Bale” Club and agreed to pay
in his SSO in cash —to buy one bale at
10 cents a pound. In addition, he will
buy one bale, at 10 cents, front each
of his 15 share-croppers.

AIKEN COUNTY
Progressiveness of Aiken
Farmers, Who Are Turning
Their Attention to Raising
Stock and Cutting Cotton
Acreage, is Shown
Aiken, S. C.—Nothing indicates so
truly the progressiveness of a farmer
as a silo, and it is encouraging—in
view of the eituation which the cot
ton grower confronts today—that
throughout Aiken county a number of
the most progressive farmers are at
present erecting silos. Every one tliut
goes up means that another farmer has
determined to lessen his cotton acre
age and to grow home products, to
raise live stock, to prepare for feed
ing, to fatten cattle and to give at
tention to producing compost which
will cut down the cost of commercial
fertilizers.
The silo idea is spreading rapidly
throughout this section of the county.
If it keeps spreading as it has begun
Aiken will be dotted with silos in an
other year or tw s o.
Even with cotton dow'n to Rs pres
ent low price, and with a large crop
to hold —for he will not sell a bale
until he can get something like the
worth of it —Mr. Daniel Crosland is
erecting two large silos on his place
near Aiken.
Mr. John M. Givens, operating the
Palmetto Farms, is the pioneer silo
farmer in Aiken coupty, although Mr.
H. M. Dibble, president of the Bank
of Western Carolina, has always had
several silos at his place, the Vale of
Montmorencl. On the Hitchcock place,
eight miles from Aiken, there are three
silos. Mr. J. 1., McNair has recently
erected one. Mr. S. J. Sehulhofer has
done likewise, and Mr. A. W. Reynolds
is at the present time arranging for
the erection of two silos on his place,
five miles from the city.
THREE FOUND MURDERED.
Great Bend, Kas—Lee Morgan, a
farmer 50 years old, Mrs. Mayme Mc-
Quillan. his housekeeper, aged 40 and
Clarence McGuin, a farm hand, were
found murdered on Morgan's farm
near Heiser, Barton county, today.
They had been shot.

Rev. Wm. Johnson of the Church
