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.

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.

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.
