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. Geo. H. Orrcke, superintendent. Lveryhody welcome.

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- SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13. 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. ISTHIRE GOING BP IH 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. TAKE VACATION. Rev. Wm. Johnson of the Church ‘of the Good Shepherd, will take a two weks’ vacation. There will he no services at the Church Sunday, Sep tember 13th and Sept. 20th. 7
