O. ? ff. ? -i : i-ju CAMDEN. 8. O.. JAN 20, 1905 limning (>'otton Absurd. There hss been a great deal ' of talk and many articles in the news pupera rolative to the burning of cotton in order to thereby cause a Tie* in the price of the ?hh|mm ouu?? Hk present lamentably low quota* tlon. Two million baler, we believe is (.he amount most geueruily aeieel ed for the sacrifice fires, and a ru lU /r is even going t lie rounds that the burning had alroady begun in certain points. The whole thing seems too radi cally ridiculous to have originated even with no other idea than perpe trating a Joke. In the first place, who is prepar ed lo esy wilt) certainty that tiio burning of two million hales will accomplish the end desired? It wlU reduce the crop to 11,000,000 or 11,500,000 bales, but liow do we kuowthat anything like high prices would bo paid on the hasiH of 11, 000,000 bales. Last year the -total, It must be remembered, was a ?'?ant 10,000,000 bales, not 1 1,000, 000, whon the prico advanced an though it wore going to '20 centa N . it would apparently be safer to destroy 3,000,000. But there have bren other years, many of them, when the crop wuf ? small and < von smaller than that r ?sed in 1902-3, and ye.t it was ac ?? iiipftiued by no such generous p iecH aa were pnid Irm, winter. Holier, even though 3,000, 000 1 le* of cotton ahould ho consigned I* the (Itimea, we hnvetio guarantee t 'vHt it would wend I he prico of cot I n "honming," whilo wn do know t'?.it It would utterly destroy at lemi $90,000,000. It cost even more - than that, perhaps, to raise : i To turn in, then, and throw' t i\ touch money in i he fire would l?? to act like children. Hotted to bold it year after yoar, no matter what the loss in weight. For it can bo depended upon that the destiucLiou of tio given amount, of cotton will force the remain der up to a prico that will more than compensate fer the money ex ponded on the bales destroyed. And, unloss hurtling notion will tin this, it is palpably absurd. ? Au gosla Chronicle. We love the man with the rosew on his tongue, the nmn who se<*e the bay's dirty face, but mentions liia bright eye*; who notices your ehabby coat, but praises your atu dloua habits; the roan who seen all ,the faults, but whoso tongue is quick to praise and alow to blame. We! like to meet a man whose smile will light up dreariness, whoso voice la full of music of the birds, whose band-shako is an inspiration and h!e "Cod bless you" a benediction. He makes us forget our trouble* rk the r&von's dismal croak is forgotten when the wood thrush sings. God Muss the man of cheer. There la| plenty of trouble here, but we need not inoreaae it. There is a lot of dying done ahead of time. ? Kx. Governor Heyward has announc ed thai be will not be ao aspirant for further poltlioal honors.
