Sterling. Perhaps one of the "things that hflfied defeat Mrs. Ferguson was-her statement th »t if elected she would empty the prisons «»f that stale through her pardoniftg (xiwer. Fvervone udmits that there are cerlajnpris-- oners who should he pardoned: but, as a whole, the (>eople are tired of criminals being turned loose 011 a wholesale scale to go roaming through the land per petrating all manner of crime. W e have already S|x?nt tcHi much money and. time catching, and convicting dangerous and unworthy criminal citizens to have them looked that they might re|teat anl multiply their crimes. Corrupt Government We bear much these days abuut corrupt govern ment and it is easy to account for in that officers suf fer themselves to be taken in. If money, votes, women and wine can't get an of ficer, he will render a good service; but too many bow to one or all of them. To say that our laws can't be enforced is only saying our (icople are not honest. It is not the laws th it are bad. it is the |jeople. the po lice, the judge, the jury. We hate to admit that such tonditions exist ; the bare facts are before us every day, and to make the statement is only to tell what is actually revealed before the public eye. The Livestock Special The livestock train operated-by the Atlantic Coast Line tfailufcd attracted many interested people dur ing its stop nere last Friday, indicating an awakening of our people to the need of diversifying and raising sufficient stock and poultry to supply our needs. One of the greatest troubles with our American peo ple is they are nervous and impatient and fail to count the cost. Some of them are disappointed when they buy a cow if they fail to find sweet milk, butter milk and butter on the table the next morning at breakfast. They seem to forget that the cow must be fed. water ed, housed and milked, and,because they, find work in caring for a cow, they give .up the job. apparently pre ferring to see their children pale-faced. stoo|ied should ered and |xit-bellied than go to the trouble to keep a cow . They apparently prefer all this rather than keep a cow to give them rich foods that will give them bright minds, strong muscles and bones and white, firm teeth.. With too much of what we term cash crops in the world, we should realize that we will be unable to buy canned milk and foreign butter from the sale of crops that cost us more to produce than we get for them. Of course we want money from our farming, but when we see that under our methods farming our debts are increasing, our farms being sold for debts and taxes, we are unable to see any reason why we The Scarecrow's J0B!

Now, when we are told that other nations with a dense population have had to diversify their (arming and turn to animals and fouls that will produce food, we are at a loss to know why we cling to the cash crop that causes us to lose our land. It is just an other peculiarity common to our American people. It makes no difference who tells us anything, we refuse to believe until we experience by tasting for ourselves. The people owe a debt of gratitude to the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, the State Department of Agri culture and State College for bringing their educa -1 tional exhibits to us. And if their advice is followed, it will mean many rryllions in money made and saved ! and a more secure state of happiness for us. Does It Pay To Produce Tobacco? Does it |>ay to produce tobacco in Martin county? The quest inn ii\>ne of vast importance to our people. According to an itemized account of the costs kept 1 by Mr. J. L. Gibson, of Griffins township, giving the Cost of four acres of tobacco produced by him this year, the expense was $120.1W |>er acre. I Mr. Gibson's estimates and costs are very conserva j live ones. He valued his own labor at the small sum of i SI.OO |ier day and allowed himself no board. Hired hands were paid SI.OO jxt day and 25 cents per day for board. There is no allowance for land rent, or is there any insurance charge. A depreciation of $3.50 i was 7 allowed on sticks, $15.00 on pack house, $13.60 on curing barn and Hues and $1.50 for trucks, Mr. Gibson estimates that he will get 4,000 pounds of to bacco which will have to sell for 12 cents and above tn offset his exjK-nse, not even mentioning the land i, rent. If the average price of South Carolina prevails here he will lose twenty dollars an acre on the crop in addition to land rent. It would be interesting to know what other farmers ,s|iend to produce tobacco. However, very few farm j ers in this section go to the trouble to record the cost i of everything and every hour they work in raising the crop. - The housing costs including grading and selling, according to Mr. Gibson's figures, run far ahead of all other items. The fertilizer costs were $21.00 |**r acre and the labor bill for planting and cultivating, includ ing plant Ijed, is about $ll.OO |>er acre. Mr. Gibson's figures show conclusively what a dangerous crop tobacco is. It is a speculative prohi bition which requires too much investment to be safe. The farmer who grows the low cost crop generally finds the task easier than the farmer who grows the high-cost crop. . Reviving Interest in the Home A religious magazine has the following to say: "The human heart is the greatest of all prophets, and ho[x* springs in the human breast to such a de gree that we always expect matters to get better and not worse. "It is the spirit that always expects matters to get lietter. .We feel |>erpetually that the morning of a new dav will dawn, and imagine or 4n fact we see the dew sparkling u|xin the grass and on the roses. "Always there is u great revival of some kind about to break out upon lis that will make the world better." Surely, no better description can be given of our hojies for the future. Just at this time what should we most hope for tomorrow? As we notice the prog ress and |>erefection of our methods of business, trans portation, amusements, we have to admit advances be yond description. They have outstripped the home and robbed it of its influence and pleasures until it is no longer the safety anchor of the family; it is only a place to eat and sleep. Now, what we thing is our greatest vision of hope is a revival of interest in the home. We should study the home* and consider the opportunities it offers to give us dignity and poise, where we should cultivate . loyalty, dignity, modesty, and a little bit of love. Mrs. F. I- Williams, of Massachusetts defined home in the following words: '"lt is a domestic sanctuary, wrought out of desire built into memory; where kin dred bonds unite the family in sharing labors, leis ure, joy, and sorrow." Another writer says, "Home is a place where dwell ing is |>ermanent and love |>aramount. Are we really willing to trust home for happiness, or will we turn to some other place, such as the world has apparently been seeking in vain? We have been too lax in thoughts of mother, home, and heaven, the three things that give man the greatest | satisfaction.
