Pigs and Poultry WIIS Ke!p Tenant
Farmer to Tide Over South’s Crisis
Hogs Can Be Made Ready Money Crop As Substitute For Cot
ton and Should Form Basis For Land Rentals and Ad
vances From Banks and Supply Merchants.
Pigs and poultry will. If the tenant
termer and the pigs and poultry are
given a fair chance, go a long waya
toward the solution of the south's
present problem.
Ilog raisin*? Is going to he the bus-
Ineeas of many a land-ownine farmer
who will turn nest year from cotton
planting- the prlnelpnl business on
which they will depend.
But it is not the land-owning farm
er whose living is threatened In the
prerent crisis. Ills profits are gone
from one crop, and he Is called upon
to stand a loss on cotton hut his living
is not threatened It is the tenant far
mer who is figuring now on how he is
going to pull through.
What hog-raising will do for the
land-owning farmer it will do for the
tenant farmer. The tenant f irmer like
Ihc land-owning farmer must get away
from dependence in cotton.
In (Ills connection, the Columbia
State says editorially:
"To convert a negro tenant living
fifteen miles in the country Into a
shrewd, thrifty, informed farmer able
to produce a dozen profitable crops he
sides cotton ih the work *»f a genera
tloti Vet we have probably a hundred
hundred thousand such farriers In
South Carolina. The land and ttte
labor of the negro tenant must he em
ployed or the country will suffer. The
tenant must produce something that
he can Hell."
Why not produce something thnt can
be sold at h"tne?
The south spends millions of dollars
annually for meat that Is raised in the
Corn licit of the west. This meat can
bf raised at home and the money paid
home f ru era kept at home. Nothing
1s simpler Th« same i« true of poultry,
eggs and dairy products.
The tenant farmer presents perhaps
the n*u 1 serious phage of the south's
agricultural problem at tlds time and
In the present crisis the most serious
t that of marketing yet If It is
taken In hand In time, it can lie very
simply handled.
Tin tenant farmer has raised cotton
and depended upon cotton for two main
reasons because, first, cotton has been
the busts of farm rentals and has thus
been a money crop; and. seeonl, be
cause cotton will stand more neglect
than any other crop. Tenant farmers
prod 70 per cent of tlie south's en
tire rot.ton crop#
In the spring the tenant fanners will
I e seeking advances again. They have
been securing advances based upon
so many bales of cotton. They have
been l aying rents with cotton.
If such advances ns are made tenant
farmers next spring are made on 500
pounds, say, of hogs instead of f<oo
pounds'of cotton, at so much a pound,
end if farm rentals for the coming
year are based on hogs rather Ilian
cotton the tenant farmers will prSduee
enough hog meat to keep many mil
lions of dollars that now go west In
tlie south
It should be as easy and as simple

When the tenant farmers of the
south begin raising hogs for the mar
ket, they will at the seme time begin
to grow corn to feed them, and they
will have corn ns well as hogs to sell,
the result being that the south will be
producing Its own hogs and its own
corn.
The western farmers, who have fat
tened off the southern farmers too
long, will then tie forced to find anoth

“Is There a Santa Claus?”
It has been th* custom of The Augusta Herald for several years to re
print nt this time the New York Bun's famous Christmas editorial, "Is
There a Santa Claus?" Here It Is, with our thanks to The Sun;
We take pleasure in answering at once and thus prominently tha
communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratification
that its faithful author Is number«d among the friends of The Sun:
Dear Editor: I am S years old. Some of my little friends say
there Is no Sat: i Claus. Papa says "if you see it In The Sun It's
so." Please tell me the truth; Is there a Santa Claus'.’.
115 West Ninety-fifth street VIRGINIA O'HANLON.
Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by
the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see.
They think that nothing can he which is not comprehensible by their
little minds. All minds. Virginia, whether they he men’s or children's,
are little. In this great universe of ours man Is a mere Insect, nn ant,
In his Intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as
measured by the Intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and
knowledge.
Yes. Virginia, there Is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly ns love
nnd generosity Hnd devotion exist, and you know that they abound nnd
give to our life Its highest beauty and Joy. Alas! how dreary would be
the world If there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as
there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then; no poet
ry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no en
joyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood
Oils the world would be extinguished.
Not believe tn Santa Claus! You might ns well not believe In fairies!
You might get your r«P« to hire Sen to watch In all the chimneys an
Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, hut even If they did not see Santa
Ulaus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus,
but that is no sign that there Is no Santa Claus. The most real things
In the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you
ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not,'but that's no proof
that they Hre not there. Nobody can conceive or Imagine all the wonders
there are unseen and unseeable In the world.
You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise
Inshle, but there Is a veil covering the unseen world which not the
strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men
that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance,
can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and
glory beyond. Is it nil real .' Ah. Virginia, In all this world there Is noth
ing else real and abiding.
No Santa Ulaus! Thank God! he lives, nnd he lives forever. A thou
sand years from now. Virginia, nay, ten tunes ten thousand years from
nc>w, he will continue to make guJ the heart of children.
United States and from many foreign
countries. He had saved the local pa
pers for the past twenty years, over
which time extended his entire collec
tion. His newspapers filled two good
sized rooms. His Investment In news
papers alone amounts to more than
15,000.
His idea of collecting so many news
papers for the past generation was In
the hope of some day presenting them,
as a “newspaper library,” to the Uni
versity of Texas, The Idea was indeed
novel, but Mr. Redwood has been pre
vented from carrying out his plan be
cause it was impracticable to keep
them on file correctly, as he Intended,
He is leaving this abundance of news
papers here with a friend, who will
dispose of them In the most advisable
way.
Mr. Redwood was also a collector
of books—miscellaneous books, books
of travel, historical books, biographi
cal books, etc. He is taking most ol
these with him. He was s lover of
hooks and read a great deal.
Kver quiet and unassuming In hla
manner, Mr. Redwood did a lot of good
to the suffering In Augusta. It Is
learned from a very intimate friend of
ins that he has given liberally to char
ity and has always preferred It kept
secret.
At his leaving Augusta, the sheer
est good wishes are extended Mr. Red
wood along with regrets equally sin
cere because of his parting.

The last meeting proved to be a very
Interesting one, many points In local
baseball being hrouglit up, however,
when the different subjects talked on
were boiled down It was found that still
another great problem lias to be settled,
s point that could not be determined sos
the simple reason that all the stock
holders concerned failed to gather as
requested. -
The financial end of baseball Is one
of the greatest problems of any minor

money question settled, not be in the
threatened condition that Savannah Is

At this gathtrlng the main topic will
he the settling of this question. The
objert In view Is to form a stock com
pany, with a few members as possible,
in order to be sure that Augusta will
have : team to represent a city that Is
large enough to support one.
An effort will be made to obtain four
I meml>eis. The sum of $5,000 Is needed to
t it the Idea of having a new grand
stand and the debt to the league.
Should this number of men be unable
to put up this sum. It will be proposed
that the number be Increased. This
sunt 1* needed to properly run the club
and at the same time have the proper
facilities for accommodating th* public.
There are a great many fans In Au
gusta who would like to attend a bill
game but who do not do so because the
uecommoditlon* are !n the shape that
they are at present. Local baseball au
thorities have realised this fact, and In
ord.r to have the proper facilities for
all. It Is Intended that a first class sLano
will he erected—ls the aforesaid amount
can be raised.
Remember, this Important meeting will
take puce the first part of this week,
