"N*ot only the farmers 'but the stock raisers are hard hit by this financial slump,'' remarked Mr. John L. Aycock, well known stock raiser of Bethesda township to whom Views and Interviews was talking over at Rock Hill the other day. "I've got a good many head of fine horses on hand that I can't sell at any price," Mr. Aycock went oh to say, "because of the fact that there is 1 - - T /It A rwonoffo fr*\ S>lIII.piJr iivs llic^l net. x U1U mauubV vv sell a few head before the squeeze came; but there is simply nothing do' ing now. And those horses do eat, believe me." ' - The Cotton Puzzle. "Noticed them plowing up a pretty good cotton crop on the Cherry farm as I camo along .this* morning," said Mr. Henry Massey, of Rock Hill, to Views and Interviews, last Saturday. "And what are they going to plant instead?".asked Views anil Interviews. "Can't say certainly," replied Mr. . Massey, "but I presume it will be more cottoh." Then followed a discussion-between Mr. Massey and Views and'Interviews over the absurdity of plowing up one crop for the purpose of producing another just like It. "Some of my hands came the othcr day for rations for this year," said Mr. Massey.. "All of them have cotton in the field. I told them no more rations until they picked that cotton. As a matter of fact the cotton will not much more than pay for the picking and gin- | - ning; but I <Jid not see any sense in leaving it in.the fields. They went to picking." In reply to a question, Mr. Masscy said that he was cutting down his seven plows of last year to five. I don't exactly see where I am coming out; but I'm going to take a chance. I have seen pretty nearly similar conditions before ?conditions under which we planted a | new crop while the old crop was selling for less than the cost of production and - I guess the same thing could occur, again." What Ails..the Wprld? , . ' VV- - ' '* . "Kver 'study the psychology of man ?" Inquired John T. Roddey, .capitalist, farmer and public spirited citizen of Rock Hill the other morning. Views and Interviews admitted that he had given some little thought to the subject and Mr. Roddey went on to say: "Well it is the psychology of us that is the trouble with the world just now. We're never satisfied. We are like the Irishman: i "The story goes that an Irishman had considerable money on deposit in a bank. Ilumors came to him that the bank was in had condition and in fact was on the verge of insolvency. He j could not verify the rumors: yet in Iks mind there was a belief that in all probability they were true. "Going to the cashier, he said: 'Lock here, if you have got my money I don't want it; If you haven't got my money I want it.' "Now according to my way of thinking and I'm.in the habit.of doing my own, that's the trouble with us right now. We want , what we haven't got j and what w$ have we don't, care for. "The scare,er an article the more j ii thi> more we will strive j tri got it. When there is an abundance; we don't car/; for it. "There is pljenty of cotton and plenty j of corn and other crops in the country. If there were not a plenty," you'd s.ec prices go way. up. t f. "That's just .the way we are as a people." Then Mr. Roddey shook his head and j walked away. Death cf Free Range.

The special liquor consiauics ui mv , state, contempt of tlie people for the liquor laws, the declaration that senators had liquor delivered at their desks in Columbia and the charge that many senators and representatives carried pistols in their pockets, featured the debate in the state, senate last Friday night. Senator John it. Hart of York county, in th- course of debate said that there were numerous distilleries in York county and that the people wouldn't object if the moonshiners made good liquor. Following is the Columbia State's account of the proceedings in the senate Friday evening: "During the debate on the amendment of the finance committee to increase the law enforcement fund from $1*4,800 to $50,000, Senator Baskin of Lee, made some warm statements against the whisky constables and officers in general who, he said, allow the law to be violated, lie charged that right here in Columbia under the dome) '><" tranitol and the governor's nose ! started out on the street the firing started and he war killod.

A BIT OF LOCAL HISTOY RECALLED 1; . .7 <: Housewives May Ship ButteT* to Camp Jackson?Farm Tenants May Give> It Up?Interesting Meeting of Kiwanis Club?Many Hoboes Passing Through | ?Other New3 and Notes the York County Metropolis. (By a Staff "Correspondent.) Rock Hill, March 5.?Bankers, business men and people generally say that March 1, just past, was the quietest known in years in Rock Hill, and that there was very little farm business done. Information is that landlords are putting their tenants on a rationing basis almost altogether this year and no cash money is being advanced to them in the majority of cases. While the -new plan is not altogether pleasing, people generally realize that the situation is indeed grave and that there must be a change in the system. Discussing the matter with the correspondent today, a big Rock Hill fanner who has eighteen or twenty peyfole. on his farm us tenants, -said: "11/left entirely to myself *1 would! not attempt to farrn at all this year'; but since I have all these people on my lmnds to of cinpo i thprA is no other place for them to go, I've got to make some kind of arrangements. "I'm rationing each family on a basis otf about fifteen dollars a month?that Is giving them an order for these rations on the stores. But L am not putting out any cash money. I can't afford it. One of my tenants refused to enter into this arrangement and announced his intention to leave. A short time later, he came back with the explanation that he would accept my terms] since he couldn't do better elsewhere. "Landlords generally in Catawba, Fort Mill, Ebcnezerand Bethesda townships are going to adopt this plan," the speaker went on to say, "and you arc going to see a revolution in the way of running hands this year. People generally around" Rock Hill believe that this is gQing to be the cheapest year for farming: known in many years." -Celebrates 66th B'rthday. Mr. J. J. Matthews, well known farmer. of^ Eb^nezcr, ; celebrated his f6th birthday today." DespltVlfSfaclvanced yours, Mr. Matthews is in good health and his many friends and acquaintances hope for him many more years. Mr. Matthews is one man who believes that Worry is the cause of most of the misery and trouble in the world and doesn't engage In it. "There's no use in it," he said today. "About ten years ago I came to the conclusion that worry wasn't worth while and I quit it. Despite the fact that times are hard and the future doesn't look very bright I'm not going to bother about it. I am going to continue my plan again this year of raising plenty of foodstuffs for man and beast and 1 guess we'll get along." Kiwanis Club Meets.

The free conference committee, composed of Representatives Sapp; Chrjstcnsen, Watkins and Johnstone, reached an agreement near 4 o'clock, but the typewriting of the report and the engrossing of the bill with the ;in- i cident, details kept the. measure from the two. houses until 7.5o o'clocjc.
