(MER'S OPPORTUNITY. the excellent prospect of a good cotton and corn and good prices the Wosperity of Laurens juld USgreater than it has is winter. A natural re be good prices for land. If pied land we would not sell it ex tor a mighty good price and we buy all we could, provided we money. is the beat of all investments and [uik that the people of this county need not expect it ever again to depre ciate in value for any considerable pe riod of time. A farm containing one hundred acres if land farily well cultivated (a two Ihorse farm) should produce an average 'of 30 bales of cotton, besides furnishing the farmer with a home for himself and his family, free water, free fuel, I vegetables, some meat and divers other necessaries. Other crops should be produced as well. Thirty bales of cot ton should yield the grower at present prices or at 12 cents the pound about $900. in cash profits, or $1,800 gross. We calculate that the thrifty farmer who produces most that his mules eat, who is careful with his stock, his agri cultural implements and his houses and who does not let his land wash away can produce cotton at six cents the pound. A good book-keeper in a big town store may earn $75. a month or $900 the year. Out of this he must pay $180. a year rent, $15. a year for wa ter, his family and personal laundry will cost twice as much as in the coun try, his tax rate is twice as great as in the country and he must buy all of his meat and a good part of his vege tables. * The opportunities of the small farm in these times are very great. The book-keeper spends an average of ten hours a day 300 days in the year at his desk, supposing that ho takes two weeks' vacation. The farmer who puts in us many days' work as the book keeper and is not extravagant can and does save twico as much in the year. This is the greatest country in the world. The only reason that good land in Laurens is worth less than $100 the _aero is that the population is not dense. DPfcWy Moon new people will be coming in; that is why people who wish to own homes bad better buy land now. CORPORATION PREJUDICE-?COTTON MILLS. The present difficulties of the rail roads in North Carolina and otho states are due in a large part to their own foolish behavior. The railroad compa nies have done an immense amount of good for the South but the people have lost sight of this because the railroads have too often and too long assumed a defiant manner towards tho people. They have taken for granted that all claims brought were unjust and resisted the righteous and the unrighteous to gether, no that the people have absorbed the idea that justice from the railroads was not to be had for the asking and have formed the habit of giving ver dicts in the courts against the railroads and of supporting reckless legislation whenever there has been an opportuni ty. The prejudice against the railroads extends to other corporations. When the state charters a corporation it gives to it peculiar and tremendous powers which may be misused to tho hurt of the people and of the minority stock holder. Tho minority stock-holder has little protection under the law when the majority is inclined to oppress and take unfair advantage. Whenever a corpo ration assumes an arrogant attitude and is unfair it arouses antagonism not only towards itself but towards all other corporations. The people are jealous of corporations and ought to be so. We have had in Laurens in the last two years two instances acutely illustrative of alleged corporation oppression. In the Laurens Cotton Mills case one side honestly believe that it was grossly and shamefully mistreated, to its great loss in money, and that it is still suffering from the extortion, unjustified by either law or morals, of the people who are able to control by reason of the fact that they have tho most money. In the Waro Shoals case one side believes that it had been shamefully and grossly mistreated in much tho same way. Of course thero are two sides to these cases but it is a singular coincidence that gentlemen who support the New York majority in the former case are gentlemen who are the "down-trod" in the latter case. Both cases, however, will aggravate the feeling against cor porations, that is already so easily aroused, and the result will be that in the courts and in the legislature the two affairs will embarrass the cotton mills ' fivenerally and the concerns which have |^ (lways acted honestly and fairly will suffer. In the Laurens Cotton Mill case, tho manufacturers of South Caro lina who aro not associated in any way with the Millikcn firm arc almost unani mously outspoken in condemnation of the methods pursued by that house. If, in tho Waro Shoals case, the position taken by Mr. Dial and other local direc tors Is correct, they ought to have "Jy the warm and energetic support th Carolina_.ruanufacturers, ?c tu ring interests ter for clean if they expect i court* the Reigels upon inev-H BPJ* was to be retained turPflpffffent?of the mill and if the Reigels reduced his salary to a nominal figure by way of evasion of their obligation to him, then he has been badly treated and he may rely up on the help of The Advertiser in get ting his deserts from them. Not long ago this took place in a town not 50 miles from Laurens. A cotton mill was chartered with a capi tal stock of $400,000 but only $250,000 was paid in. To complete the mill, it was necessary to issue some $200,000 of preferred stock. In the last year or two the mill made a great deal of money, about $200,000. The stock jumped $25. a Bharo or more. Everybody thought it was a good thing and numbers of persons bought stock, supposing that the profits would be used to retire the preferred stock. Lo and behold, when the directors met, at the instance of Northern commission men who are largo holders of tho stock, and against the protest of local directors, it was resol ved to issue the remaining unsubscribed common stock, in the form of a stock dividend, giving each stock-holder one I new share for each two that he already I held; this increasing the mill's liabilities. The preferred stock was not retired. The effect of this manipulation was to j depress tho market price of the com- ] mon stock) perhaps $25. a share Thus tho commission men, already large | holders, were presented with the oppor tunity of buying stock from discouraged holders and strengthening their grip on the mill, and, by the way, they arc not a two per cent commission house, j by any means. The minority stock holders are dissatisfied but what can they do? We do not mention the name of this mill because some of our facts may not be accurately stated, they are stated as hear-say, and we do not wish to do anybody injustice. The sum of the whole matter is that decent and respectable manufacturers must get together and put an end to the oppression practised by a few under the forms of law or else they must prepare for a hard time when the peo ple come to deal with the industry later. A Valuable Lesson. "Six years ago I learned a valuable lesson, writes John Pleasant, of Mag nolia, Ind. "I then began taking Dr. King's New Life Pills, and the longer I taTke then the better 1 find them." They please everybody. Guaranteed at Laurens Drug Co., and Palmetto Drug Co. Price 25 cents. it Is "Means Grass." At the close of the Revolutionary war three brothers, John, Thoma3 and Robert Means, removed from Boston to South Carolina. The last named settled in Beaufort and married Miss Barnwell. John and Thomas Means settled in tho northwestern part of Fairfield, and married respectively Mary and Sarah Milling, sisters of Capt. Hugh Milling of tho sixth regi ment Of South Carolina continontnls. Thomas Means, whose son John Hugh Means afterwards became governor of South Carolina, at once became a large merchant and planter and imported some hemp seed from Egypt. With the hemp, came up a few sprigs of a fine, vigorous growing grass, which Mr. Means allowed to go to seed, and gathering, replanted the grass seed in his garden, near Buckhcad, in western Fairfield county. Being a hardy and rapid grower, after this second planting the grans rapidly spread from the gar den over his plantation, and from the plantation branches and creeks noon spread to bottom lands of Little river and Broad and Congaree rivers. It was thus introduced from Egypt by Thomas Means soon after the Revo lutionary war, about the close of the eighteenth century. Mr. Thomas Means and his family called it "Egyptian grass," from its origin, but it soon be came known locally and in South Caro lina as tho "Means grass." Some of the neighbors erroneously fearing it would prove a pest in the cultivation of the crops on account of its rapid spread called it the "damned Means grass." Some of the seed was taken from South Carolina by a Mr. Johnson to Alabama, where it became known as the "Johnsongrass." An article written from Clcmson college for The State Aug., 1901, in al luding to Means' introduction of the grass in hemp seed from Egypt into Fairfield, stated that "a man named Johnson carried some of the seed to Alabama and planted it extensively. From him it got the namo of Johnson grass, when by right it ought to be "Means grass." Col. Newman, professor at Clemson agricultural college, says it is a very valuable grass for hay, in fact the most valuable, and that it can be killed by simply pasturing stock on it. In Alabama, where Col. Newman lived for years, the grass is well known and highly valued, the people having long since learned not to fear it. For hay it should be cut while young and tender and* can be thus cut several times a year. It ia a rapid grower and if al lowed to go to seed on good land easily attains a height of four, five and even six feet. Some of this grass can be Jseen now seeding in tho State house i grounds. Much of the hay brought into Colum bia from the river bottoms is Means grass. The man who imported this grass is the samo Thomas Means whose picture and genealogy waa published in the Oct., 1907, number of the Genealo gical and Historical Magazine society. -Tho State.

Karuixawa, Jap^ July 6, 1907^1 My dear Mother:? I sent you a note from ship-board, but at that time I had not decided on our resting place for the summer and so could only give you the temporary address, Tokio. While in Tokio it seemed best that we come to this place,-Karuizawa. Hero is the mecca for the missionaries of Ja pan and Formosa, and also some from China, during the summer months. I am told that some seven or eight hun dred come here annually. We came up from Tokio a week ago to-day. Spent the first night at a ho tel, and the next morning began house hunting. Our friends, the Bowles fam ily in Tokio, told us of a house in the suburbs of the missionary community and up on tho top of ono of the moun tain passes, that we .could likely get; and directed us to a Mrs. Madden, who had already come and, who would be able to interpret for us to the Japanese landlord. It was indeed fortunate that she was here, for without some one to talk tor you you are helpless in these lands. We found the house just to our liking, being removed from the commu nity we can be as quiet as we like, and as the location is farther up the moun tain we have the more bracing and the cooler atmosphere. The village is about 3,200 feet above the sea and we are about 4,000 feet. Again our house, which is entirely Japanese, is cheaper than the ones below. Here we pay Yen 30 for tho season, and there they pay from Yen 120 to 150. (A Yen is equal to 50 cents gold.) Not many missionaries like to come so far up, hence our rent is cheaper, but for us the location is better than in the vil lage. One of the best things about the place is the large spring almost within a stone's throw from our house. It is larger and bolder than the one at Mt. Bethel, indeed the sight of it took me back to the scenes about that one there. The water is like ice, and per fectly pure, hence there is no need of boiling it to make it drinkable, as the water from the wells in China has to be. And the change in the atmosphere is such a blessing. Here every night we sleep under three or four blankets, and in the day wear the heavy flannels that we do during the winter at Macao and in America. Of course if one gets out in the sun lighter garments feel better. Then the good supply of rain at this season may make the temperature low er than ordinarily. But it certainly is the place to rest. I believe that we can rest here better than we could in America. Another of our blessings is an abun dance of strawberries. We happened to get here before the season for these had finished, and daily we are feasting on these. Being near the village we get groceries and other eatables sent up to us as tho' we were in the commu nity, also the mail is delivered to our door Things arc very expensive in Japan now. Much, more so than in China. Here everything i? from a third" to n half higher, and in some cases the price- is more than double. In Hong kong we buy beef for 20 cents, hero we pay 55 cents; there we get butter for 60 cents, here it cost 95. But the house is cheap, and bracing air and de lightful water is free, so we will even up on all and the Father will see us through, (with some of the substantial thing to sand with in). Yesterday the mail from Oakland came, your letter among others. There are enough letters to show that our visit home would have been a busy one. Among them is a very cordial one from the Moody Bible Institute, written by Mr. Moody's son-in-law, Mr. Pitt, inviting us to be their "guest" in Chicago, and another from Toronto, Canada, asking us to give them time for a series of missionary meetings. I am nearing the end of my page, and so will write you more in my next letter about things in this land.
