Yesterday the poor fellow was scut to Hie State hospital for the Insane. A few days ngo a young man of beautiful physical stature, fell an easy prey to disease and some declar ed tHut intemperance had undermined his constitution. Some months ago the son of one of the bust families or this county led in the city prinon. Died with none iheslde him to hold his hand as he stjopped Into the Icy waters of the river of death. _ Treat Your ( Wc would like to call upon the far mers of Anderson county to observe the utmost care lu handling their cot ton this fall. Tf it is ginned cleunly and packed properly it might bring a premium In the market. Too much I advantage has been taken of the farmer in the past. He has been -made to suffer too much Io'ss on ae- j count of the tare on cotton, liut tf the farmers will agree not to pay the ginnors until their cotton is hapdhvj in a manner conforming to standards, there will be protection for the farmers. Wo havo hcurd of carelessness at glim in the weighing of cotton. The farmer should be pro tected) hi this also. The ginner should be! liable- for any errors in weight. The. county union meets Tuesday and wje throw out the .hints so that the union may take some action be fore tho>season is actually upon us. It Ib notorious that cotton has been tho mpst slovenly handled of all the agricultural products in the United States.' The farmers ofte.< leave it exposed to be damaged by rain and Infiltrated by mud. Even when offek - ed for shipment, it is sometimes in this condition. All too frequently it Is ^oo |lopselysbaled and Inadequately markejl. * It has been said that upon receipt at foreign ports bales of cotton look more like rag bags. For many years the; rail roads have sought to have thej cotton shlppors exercise greater tare, but the railways in this coun try, have' no such autocratic powor aS tho railroads have in Germany, where no shipment Is accepted unless Anderson IWe havo heard the suggestion ad vanced' that if tho lnterurban should bund from Anderson to Atlanta. It would help Atlanta more than It would Anderson. It may be true that Atlanta would feel a great deal of benefit from having this new rond, but Anderson would, of course, be powerfully stimulated by having the Une pass through instead of merely a portion of tho system terminating here. As evidence of this fact, wo repro duce herewith an editorial from the Fort Smith, Ark.. Record, giving the oxperlenco of another small city which was Joined un to a larger one by a trolley system: "That lnterurban linos build up tho smaller towns affected, as well as holp the terminal cities is shown by the following letter from O.

Men of Anderson, this Is a moral community, one of the heat in the whole country, hut something must be done to stop the sale of this kind of liquor that kills. The cocaine habit is one of the most Insidious pieces of deviltry ever de vised.. This drug Is more rapid in its hellish work than Is the colored I und flavored poison which is called whiskey. The ruin of any young man Is a responsibility upon the whole coni munity as well as upon the men who 'drug him. Cotton Right it is packed in accordance with the rigid speclllcations. Government ex perts have estimated that of the cot ton crop of the United States there is between the gin and the spinner u wastage and dnmagea mounting to $50,000.000 per annum. Thj Japanese several years ago ruled that they would not accept cot ton that was not clean, securely pnek c " and plainly marked. The possi bility of losing the custom of a na tion make a difference. The trans Atlantic lines thai iu recent years have been mulcted in heavy damages because of the poor condition in which the cotton has been delivered to foreign consignees have taken ac tion that will enforce the efforts of the railways. From September 1, 1912 to March 31, 1913 on tho average one bale of cotton out of every six offered at the South Atlantic and Gulf ports wuh condemned; one bale out of every ten was improperly marked. Be ginning July 1, 1913, their require ments were more rigid; higher char ges were exacted for cot too, ? losely baled. Tho railways In the cotton growing regions have been redoubling tbelr efforts with :otton compressors, cot ton ginncrs and shippers. When those concerned in cotton growing and shipping find that shiftlesdness reacts upon t'ielr pockctbooks. it is probablo ti. it a bettor order of things will come about. Not only tho money, but the good will of the foreign consumer is worth while, especially In these times when he is endeavoring to stimulatu tho growth " of cotton in other countries than tho United States. to Atlanta j Un merchants have done a larger bus I Ines? ttijin in any other three years In the history of the town, each year Showing an increase over tho pre ceding year.' "While, this no doubt has been the case in nil other town over the coun try, due to general prosperity.

Real estate values havo m?tauece! steadily, as have also tho .-enta, and they are still going up. "There Is not a var-uit residence or i-iislness bouse In Franklin and while this has been tr-.o for a number of years, still, it Is also true that a large number of hous-s have been built dur ing these sevoral years, and yet the demand for hojses has not been sup plied.1 "Business house that now rent for $600 a year rented a few. years ago for $300, and residence property has advanced ' in the same proportions.
