ABANDONED FARMS AND NEC
LECTEO FARMS.
i The South Carolina department of
1 agriculture has made a call upon the
various county auditors of the state
for information as to the number of
abandoned farms in the various coun
ties and mu expression of opinion ns
to whether the Individual ownership
of farming land Is decreasing nr In
creasing In response to this
i omtiiis oner Watson has racoKWl re
ports from over onethlrd of tho coun
ty auditors In these It Is announced
jthat the exceedingly gratifying show
Jlng 1* made that there are practically
no abandoned farms in any of the
j counties reporting, show ing that
j marked progress has been made In
| the last few years In the revival of
the agricultural Industry, and that the
: reports Indicate a marked tendency
| toward* the smaller farm and a most
; pronounced tendency toward Indlvldu
al ownership
Conditions m South Carolina are
very much the same as conditions In
Georgia, for In everything these two
slates are very much alike. These
reports therefore will not cause any
I surprise, since they are corroborated
J by observers on this side of rhe Sa
; vannah river What Is aeml-offlelally
reported to obtain In South Carolina
| in tbla respect obtains also in Ueor
-1 Ft*. We have practically no abau
{ doned farms, there I* also a tendency
here toward* smaller farms and to
, wards Individual ownership.
A* to abandoned farms there will
never be any In the South We read
of abandoned farms In New lCngland.
1 and even In New York and Ponusyl
! vaula, but this Is natural. Since there
! ha# been such a great gravitation of
I population low aids the cl t tea, on ae
' count of ihe many new tines of In
r dustry opened t>\ modern progress It
i was natural that the more sterile of
{the farms in au uuiatorablc clliuate
i should be abandoned Were it not for
I the opportunities offered farmers by
-the nnsrr.ess of so many large cities
j the greater part of the New England
| farm* would doubtless have been
given over to the wild animals, as
they were before th“ Pilgrim Father*
landed on Plymouth Hock.
These causes do not. operate In the
South. Where lands can be made to
produce crops the enilre year, and
where there Is no land so sterile that,
planted In the proper crops, it will
not produce abundant harvests, there
[ can be no reason for abandoning
farms, and consequently no farms are
abandoned In the South, There were
farms abandoned Immediately after the
war, but that was because there was
no labor to till them, but nearly all of
these have since been brought back
under tillage. And certainly no farms
have been abandoned since that time.
Hut while there are no abandoned
farms In the South there are a very
large number of neglected farrnK.
Those neglected farms are of two
kinds. One Is that class of farms
that are not cultivated by the owner,
but by the tenant farmers, nearly all
negroes; and the other are those
farms which are cultivated by the
owner, but In such slipshod fashion
as barely to merit the name of "farm
ing ”
The first of these causes can only
be removed by time. The negro ten
ant farmer Is Improvident and thinks
only of raising cotton, and thla sys
tem of farming sooner or later will
wear out the land until it is no longer
fit for farming. This tenant system
will continue so long as there are ne
gro tenant farmers, but their rela
tive number Is constantly decreasing
by the growing number of white farm-;
era.
The shlpshod fashion of farming
must be charged to want of progres
si yen ess nnd the common error of
planting 100 much. This must he
overcome by education, which is be- 1
lng furnished by the numerous farm
ers who here and there acquire small
farms which they make Immensely
productive by Improved methods of
farming, and by tho various agricul
tural schools.
So the time will come when In the
Houth there will not only be no aban
doned farms, but also no neglected
fnrms Then Indeed will this entire
section blossom as the rose, and Its
: annual agricultural production will be
of suelt magnitude as to stugger pres
ent Imagination.
The cause of the trouble that has
befallen Haskell may be belter un
derstood when It Is known that lie Is
a poet, who wrote campaign poetry.
This will also lessen ihe sympathy
that will be extended to him.
NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.
For some years there has been in
progress all over Ihe country an edit
rational movement, aimed lo create
new readers of advertisements, says
the .Savannah Press The result Is,
of course, that newspaper advertising
has become to be fur more effective —
that results front it are not only sure,
but that they are usually quirk nnd
easily traceable to Ihe ad which pro
duced them. II has become possible
to very nearly gauge and measure tho
amount and kind of newspaper adver
tising which will he required for a
specific purpose—to carry through
■ some particular sale or to Introduce
| a project or product, float n business
| venture, rejuvenate a run down store
or sell a piece of property.
I Time was when merchants Itnag-
I Ined that it was good advertising to
merely keep the name and location of
j ii store In the public eye. with an oc
|rs*lon»l generality concerning the
I store's alms and purposes. This prob
ably served as well as anything In tho
day* when people did not generally
read advertising, nor let It Influence
1 (heir buying nnd selling. I’nder tho
j new conditions, however, people are
j reading advertisements In pursuit of
Information concerning Ihe particular
and specific things the stores havo to
sell, or that people have to offer.. They
expert to find In a store advertisement
description* and price* of the partle
ultr tilings that Interest them at the
moment. The advert Isenteut which
doe* not contain this information may
Ihe well written may be ißloviated
to leave a pleasant Impression of a
store or a business, but It will not
serve directly and promptly to sell the
j goods. On the other hand, an ad
I vertlsemeot. not half so well written
iby containing fact# Information AND
CRICKS will sell good* will bring
I results; w ill accomplish things. It
I takes more spaev. of coins*, than Ihe
j ad which does not sell the goods— but
| the advertising bill I* also easier to
pay.

A Double Defense.
"Our defense is that the defendant,
although he undoubtedly (obtained
i money from his dupe on the pretense
that by use of that money the said
dupe should, through an Illegal trans
action, make large dishonest profi's,
nevertheless the defendant neither
intended to nor did he engage In said
Illegal transaction, and therefore the
facts set out In the indictment do
nor con«tltute a crime. Furthermore,
the dupe having advanced the money
for an illegal purpose the defendant
cannot be guilty of having obtained
money under false pretenses."
Is this the defense of a "wire-tap- !
per" under a Supreme Court deci
sion?

A Phalanx Unbroken
United Stares Senator DuPont of
Delaware, retires from active parti
cipation in the Republican campaign. ;
but he remains in the United States j
Senate. a
Senator Foraker, of Ohio, assisted I
by the President. , effaces himself
from the Republican campaign but re
mains in the United States Senate,
j.e will probably be a candidate for
re-election.
Congressman Joseph C. Sibley, of I
Pennsylvania, who had no reputation j
to lose will remain, we suppose, as i
one of the pillars of Republicanism '
lin the lower House and will be of;
convenience to impecunious states
men desirous of opening communi
cations with Standard OH.
John D. Archbold remains at his
post in the Standard Oil company.
Governor Haskell, of Oklahoma who
has no voice or vote In national le
gislation, has been driven by Mr.
Roosevelt from his conspicuous place
in Democratic party affairs. The
Demorratic parly is relieved of a sus
picious character, though nothing has
been proved against him—a net gain
for the Democracy.
The point is that in the two houses
of Congress the Republican lines are
unbroken. Power is lodged in the
Government —not In a political party.
A political party out of office can
no* loot The people, outside of Okla
homa, are in no peril from Haskell,
even if tlje charges against him be
true.
But Foraker has a vote in the Sen
ate, and he is there. With him is
DuPont. By their side are Scott, of
West Virginia and Kean, of New Jer
sey. Wetmore, Platt, Depew. Penrose
and Elkins are with them. Dalzell and
Sibley gaurd the rear In the House.
In charge of the bunch is Nelson W.
Aldrich, with Joseph G. Cannon as
his chief to staff. These are the
President's friends. "Jim” Sherman
is the President's proxy’s friend. They
with the President are members of
the board of directors of the Republi
can party. Barring Foraker, the
President has no quarrel with one of
them.
The President's outcry against
Standard Oil leaves John D. Arch
lmld with as many Representatives
and Senators in his possession as he i
has had at any time, and the Presi- '
dent knows it. The President is not I
fighting Standard Oil. Better than
any man he understands the relation
ship of Aldrich. Cannon and Dalzell
to the trusts and to the Republican
party, and he is apparently willing
lhat they be not molested. The Presi
dent Is in complete harmony with his
party and Ihe party is in harmony
with Archbold and Standard Oil. Taft
with the assistance of the Standard
Gil gang.
The American people gain nothing
by the expulsion of Haskell from ..is
office in a parly while the Standard
Oil phalanx Ir supreme in Congress,
by and with the consent of the Presi
dent.—Charleston News and Courier.
Senator Tillman.
tine cannot help wishing Senator
Tillman mighty well these days. He '
ts over in Europe, recuperating from
his dangerous illness of last spring.
He is reported to be doing well in
every way, and rapidly regaining a
large measure of his old-time torn',
wiih excellent chances of regaining
it all.
Few people, we take IT. read those 1
letters from ex-Senator McLaurin to
Hie New Y'ork representative of tin
Standard Oil company, with 'he othe ■
documentary evidence of the forme. -
Senator's unfitness and unwe"thiness
to wear a toga, without thinking a;
once of iare oid Ben Tillman, h's
erstwhile col' ague. They nre such
different typ* of public men. No
danger of an> tters being fdund in
Standard OH h .nds with the South
Carolina Hre-eeier's name at the
bottom of the 1 t! No Congressional
broker eiyg hinted to "My Dear Mr
A." that Tillman was a likely "in
vestment.'' Not much!
We hardly Imagine the MoLaurln
disclosures brought forth any snorts j
from tho old war horse. We sus
pect Tillman had him pretty well
sized up. They never were friends
In the senate. The stinging rebuk:!
administered to Tillman from the j
White house a few year# ago, because
of a difficulty he had with this same |
Mrl.aurln. apparently wounded him for
the time a* few things ever wound a
man of hi* rugged nature. It max
be that he ha# recovered almost. If,
not entirely, from that by this .Imo: •
and If lie has not, McLaurtn's pro- 1

-atlsfaction, (rt'tt though he may no I
gloat over It.

Trade Balances Favor
Largely This Country.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK GOOD.
A people who sell more than
they can buy cannot be in a very
hard situation, whatever may be
the periods of depression and strin
gency so we can take heart of
grace from the official figures just
given out which show that during
the first seven months of the pres
ent year we have bought thirty
per cent less than during the cor
responding months last year, while
at the same time our exports
show an increase of one hundred
and seventy-nine millions as com
pared with the same months last
year.
This gives us ever y assurance
of a very satisfactory trade bal
ance. when the business accounts
for the year are made up, rays the
Aflanta Journal
On the whole we ar P told that
the substance of the trade reports
for the week, submitted by the
mercantile agencies, is that trade
and Industrial activity continues
to increase very noticably with
overy indication of permanent im
provement.
Here at hom e th e same optimis
tic sentiment prevails. A few
a prominent business man
from south Georgia was quoted as
saying that from present indica
tions ther e would b e the greatest
car famine within a short time
that the state has ever seen. This
prediction was based directly upon
the lumber Industry, but It Is gen
erally accepted as being equally
true of all other lines of business.
The uncertainty which prevails
as to the futur e of freight rates
Is about the only disturbfing fac
tor there Is today in the business
and industrial Hfe of our people If
we could be sure that >he existing
status would not be disturbed by
an Increase in rat"! during the
period when business U doing Its
best to recover, we would soon
forget that ther,. had been an*
such thing a* a panic.
Merchants and manufacturers
are meeting the situation with
confidence, however, and good fall
trade Is firmly anticipated.
