There has been an idea running around in our mind for some time which we want to call to the atten tion of the town authorities. This is to set aside a day each fall which may be called Harvest Day, or any other suitable name-this year it might well be called "Twenty Cent Day" or "Good Times Day." Our idea is this: To invite ev erybody in the county to come to Winnsboro and get acquainted -.l over again. The crops* will soon be gathered and to a large extent sold. The farmer will have more tinie on his hands. To offset all the difi culties with which he has had o contend this year he has had to be on the job every minute from da Lght till dark, doing more hard work than heretofore, economi'yin in labor expense, cultivating more intensively to overcome the using of less fertilizer-working, plannin-. yes, scheming, more so than ever before. And if it were not for the! increase in price, with the certainty of a short crop, he would be finan cially ruined. To a certain extent every man who has been in businles3 this year has had unprecedented dif ficulties to overcome and problems to solve. We are all-everyone of us -entitled to a day of relaxation de voted to social purposes and - urre pleasure, trying, if possible, to for get the worries. of yesterday. By so doing we shall all go back to the job in a fresher state of mind. Let's everybody take a day off. Let's have a big picnic dinner or barbecue. And the expense of the day's pleasure must not be taken too seriousiy into consideration. Along with the dinner and barbecue we r .st have a band. "Harvest Da will become a yearly celebration to which all the' people, may look for ward. We have in the county mem bers of the national corn and nig clubs, and members of these county clubs have this year won State prizes. We a've it to these boys and girls to have some public acknowl edgement of our appreciation of th r success. It must be borne in mind that the idea is that this celebration is not intended for any class or faction. It' is for every nian, woman and child, business house and organization. The town of Winnsboro must be~ dressed for a holiday, and what a gathering there will be when the people of this place, the Winmnsbora Mills, and every section, each com-~ mnunity and every farm, no matter how small, shall get together for a day off. The schools of the county may come in a boy, and their parents will welcome them here when they arrive. Of 'course there will be speeehes, fcllowinlg the line of thought, we lhope, of optimism and good cheer, of piosperity and happiness. Of course the suggestions tbove enly touch the generalities of the entertainment, and the details would have to be developed by committees -if the idea is adopted. This is the community spirit in which we believe and which we preach. * Let's celebrate! BUYING JUDGMENT. Shopping expeditions are not. all joy for people who have household and personal purchases to make. The1 majority of people frequently re turn home with many questions about the wisdom of their purchases. And they often buy with little judg ment. They may buy high-priced stuff when they could get the same: thing for much less, if they had tak en the trouble to manke a study of newspaper advertising. The American people put a vast amount of thought into the earning of money. Many people spend years: in education for business, and they plan and scheme and strive to se cure a greater productive capacity. Then when they have acquired it, they may -dissipate their earnings by an unwise policy of spending. Expenditure of an income is no hit or miss matter. It should be studied just as one studies the earn ine o'f the same. The purchaser should follow the business informa tion in the newspapers showin g the tendency of the markets for foods., j.ne tiiLt principle tv iearn is tna stores of your home city hav e<rytnag taas yoa ieaiiy need. in uistribution of merchandise is no, so stancardized titat a communit a.e size o1 Winnsboro can supply a, ntcebsary wants and an abunuanc of luxuries, *nie aealers are more enterpriE ing and hustling than others. Tnos or this class turn their capital mor frequently. Their dollars work .fasi er, the cost of operating their se. vice is less per article. Stores o this character are usually good ad vertisers. They'could not turn thei capital with this speed if they wer not working all the time to attrac buyers and keep the goods movin by low prices and special induce ments. Well written advertising contain much information about goods. Al ter reading the business notices i. The News and Herald the hom buyer is in a position to purchasi mre intelligently and also to knov where the money will go the far thest. MANUFACTURED BEAUTY. Recent estimates of the Unitei States Internal Revenue indicate tha1 the women of America are spend ing around $50.000,000 a year fjr cosmetics and perfumes. It is a big um spent in th.e belief that such accessories help - girl seem prettier mnd more charinring, more likely to nake a smart marriage or win so ial or business success The majority of these women de feat their own ends by their made up look. Men turn with dislike from a beauty that, seems artificial They are not looking for skillful camou flage, but for an honest looking face made beautiful by, good health ana :leanliness. Girls who depend upon outdoor exercise and vigorous athletics to p;ccuce good color, are far more at ractive than those who spend their time, thought and money on the fake stuff. The Story of i Our States i By JONATHAN BRACE Xxx.-WISCONSIN HeE many os~m~q.Teitiesmain Wisconsin with French names show t h e French Influence i Its early set *tiement. The first white man to penetrate this region was *Jean Nicollet, who was sent out SIn 1634 by Champlain to rNjn trade with the Indians. He Ilanded at Green Bay and prob Sably traversed the country to IChicago. Fur traders and mis tsionaries followed and the latter built a mission where Ashland ?now stands. This was the first +church erected in the state and around it sprang up the first ?permanent settlement. JolIet Sand Father Marquette descended4 the Wisconsin river, and La *Salle explored a great deal of 4WIsconsin before he took his famous trip down the Mississip pL Among the fur traders to come to Wisconsin shores was Daniel du Lhut, after whom the ,city of Duluth, Minn., was named. *During the Revolution Wiscon sin remained loyal to the Brit SIsh and though Wisconsin be came a part of the United 4States by the Treaty of Paris In 1783, It was not until 1816 that federal troops really established authority there. Indian upris ?Ings continued for some time ending only with the Black " SHawk war In 1832. Then fol- , lowed extensive Immigration from the New England States. SWisconsin had formed a part of the Northwest territory until 1800, when It became a part of Michigan territory, under which jurisdiction it remained until ' 1836, wIth the exception of nine years, when it was considered a part of Illinois territory. With the admission of Michigan as a state, the Wisconsin territory4 was created, which included al-4 so the present states of Iowa and Minnesota and portions of North and South Dakota. *In 1814 Wisconsin was taken into the Union as the thirtieth s tate. Its area is 56,060 square miles and It has thirteen elec toral votes for president. The state Is named after the Wisconsin river. This is an Ojibwa phrase which means "gathering waters." It Is some times called the Badger State. (0 by Mclure Newspaper Syndicate.) FOUND-set of automobile cur tains and a coat. Owner can get same by applying at this office an; pain +'o- advertisement.

Washington, D. C., Sept.-tondi tions thx oughout the Sout~h now re "fiect a greaitly improved tone, off cials said Monday, both the treasury and the federal reserve board re porting a lessened demand for credit from that section. The view was expressed by high treasury officials that the purchasing power of the South should be sustained through the winter as a result of the im provement in the cotton market. Better business in the South, it w's asserted could be expected to have its effect upon the courttry gen erally and by a reduction of the :redit needs of the cotton states make available the money for other sections. In coal and steel, howeaver, according to the treasuty, little im provement is in sight at present. Or aders are few in these industries, officials said, with little prospect of betterment. THE RECURRENCE OF "PEP". The American people have be come fond of the slang term 'pep." It stands for the spirit that has .made this country the greatest in - the world, that has overthrown in numerable obstacles and established .the best government and in the most ;comfortable prosperity, Some people are born lazy, while - others having untiring zeal for any f thing they undertake. This differ ence is to some degree a matter of I climate. Fall weather is a great re 1iewer of activity. Millions of folks t who have been marking time thru Sthe hot summer months feel full of the spirit of achievement now the 'cooler weather is here. -People who obey the rules of health and who have ambition, can 7 show energy with little effort. So s let us all here in Winnsboro rejoic ing in the bright tonic of fall sun 1 shine, take hold of our business and a civic and industrial tasks with the e good old "pep" and make our little r city the garden spot of South Car Cotton -ins I am in position to ance on cotton either in seed, in in storage.
