The farmer can no longer say J
that the world, the flesh ancT the
devil unite to gouge him. Pre- ?
sent indications are that all, unless
it be the devil, are united to ^
help fcim. ^
The price of cotton continues ~Q
to advance, and business is get- t(
ting better. The "Buy a Bale" n
movement is proving the salva- ^
tion of the Southern faqner:
When the war is over and every- V
body is settled down to business
again, a monument should be p
erected to the memory of the y
man who started this thing. ^
The fallacy of one-crop farm- t,
ing has .been demonstrated to t<
the farmer in such a manner ^
this year that ihere will be no c
need for legislation to compel
acreage reduction next year. c
There is little chance that money ^
can be had to make a fifteen f
million bale crop next year, and t
the unwilling ones will be forced ^
to cut the acreage for sheer" <
lack of funds. Much cotton t
lard will be sown in oats, vetch, 3
- - c<over, rve and wheat while the (
war continues and if conditions ^
improve by planting time miich (
of the land will be in grain and f
hay crops, and can not be plant- t
ed in cotton. The farmers are j
showing their good sense by pre- j
paring for something besides cot- f
ton next year. More hay will i
be grown in Chesterfield county i
this season than ever before, .
provided the seasons are at ail "

Mail Order Buying.
Although by no means '
new, the following story con- 1
tains such a spendid moral {
against the practice of pratoniz- '
ing mail order houses that every ]
publisher should print it:
Down in Georgia some time
ago a man went into a store to ,
buy a saw. He saw the kind he
wanted and asked the price. It l
was $1.65, the dealer said. i
"Good gracious," said the man
"I can get the same thing from
(name of mail order house) for
$1.35."
"That's less than it cost me,"
said the dealer, "but I'll sell it on
the same terms as the mail order
house just the same."
"All right," said the customer.
"You can send it along and
charge it."
"Not on your life," the dealer
replied. "No charge accounts.
You can't do business with the
mail order house that way.
Fork over the cash."
The customer complied.
"Now two r^nlQ nnctatro on/1
_ . _ ? ? ? ww v wu U11U
five cents for a money order."
"What?"
"Now two cents postage and
five cents for a money order, to
a mail order house, you know."
The customer, inwardly raving,
kept to his agreement and
paid the seven cents.
"Now 25 cents expressage."
"Well. I'll be?,"he said, but
paid it, saying, "Now h2nd me
that saw and Til take it home
myself and be rid et this foolery."
"Hand it to you? Where do
you think you are? You're in
^ Georgio and I'm in Chicago, and
you'll have to wait two weeks .
for that saw."
?TI - 4
wnereupon that dealer hung
the saw on a peg and put the
money in his cash drawer.
"That makes $1.67," he said
"It has cost you two cents more
and taken you two weeks longer
io get ii thai; if you .iad paid rpy
price in the first place."

Farmers to Meet Oct. 1st.
I hereby call a meeting of the
outhern Cotton Congress in
ach County in South Carolina
t the Court House, 11 a. m.,
October 1st. I request that these
leetings be called in addition to
ny others that may have been
eld. I hope before that date
ach County will have been oranized.
That in each County
mndreds of people will be wearng
our badges, indicating they
lave paid SI.00 to help boost the
rice ot cotton and that we have
heir support in trying to hold
ne third of this cotton crop and
:>r reducing the 1915 crop 50 per
ent. We are going to use your
ollar to help us organize.
Vhile we shall be glad to have
ou contribute 51.00 to the
rganization, we are not going
3 let that keep you from our
leetings or from receiving all
le benefits we can secure. If
ou work a one horse farm or a
ifty horse farm; if you make
ne bale or 500 bales; rich or
oor; white or blacky we need
our influence. We stand for
tie poor man as well as the rich,
a asking that our creditors will
ake that which we have?a coton
warehouse recipt?and withlold
collecting his notes and acounts
as long as he possibly can
n order that we may obtain cost
>r above for this cotton crop.
Ne wish the co-operation of
armers, merchants, bankers ferilizer
companies and all other
>ersons doing business in the
south. We wish every farmer
o sign our pledge. We request
,ou to hold, if possible, one-third
)f your ciop for one year, unless
,ou can sooner sell it for twelve
;ents per pound. We believe
ive million bales or one-third of
his crop cannot bemused by the
nills of the world before Sepember
1st, 1915. We believe
wo thirds the crop, or ten mil-]
ionybales, can be sold at about i
en cents or above, if you will
slowb' sell as the mills need it.
We can sell the ten million
bales, i? properly marketed^fjor
whole crop and have five million
bales on storage next September.
Will you do your part,
3r do you expect, your neighbor
to hold your third as well as his?
[f you and your neighbor were
serving with Lee in Virginia,
would vou expect him to face
^he enemy like the brave| man

manhood?
Every cotton farmer, small ot
large, is playing a chance. The
stake amounts to hundreds of
millions of dollars. If we put
cotton up four cents per pound,
we will save the South three
hundred million dollars. Are
you willing to do your part?
Cooae to your County meeting
October 1st and be prepared to
instruct our legislature your wish
as to a State warehouse bill; also
whether you endorse State control

CHURCH NOTES T
Baptist
J. M. Sullivan. Pastor.
Last week was a good enjoyable
time with us, living on the
fat of the Patrick land, shaking
hands with our friends, and resting
ourselves after the long summer's
work. It would be hard
to find a more suitable place for
rest and quiet ^njoyment than
the little town of Patrick. We
were present last Wednesday
with the folks partly in the cotton
field, mostly in the dining
room, in their work day for the
orphanage. James has something
to say about this kind of
religion, let us hear him: "Pure
religion and undefiled before
God and the Father is this, To
visit the fatherless and widows
in their affliction, and to keep
himself hnspotted from the
world."?Jas. 1:27.
How many will put their religion
in action on next Saturday?
Doing for Jesus, allowing the or- -
phanage to have the benefit in |
this present world and us to have
it in the world to come.
We enjoyed last Sunday at ^
Taxahaw at 11 a. m. and White =
Plains 3:30 p. m. Good crowds at
both places We love to see the
folks and feel that they enjoved
the services oI the Lord.
Next Sunday, Pageland 11
a. m. and 7:30 p. m. Prayer services
Wednesday evening 7:30.'
