LNISSLJU-KAA O. f. Wednesday, October 13, - 1897. P'r: THJS KOAD ASSOCIATION*. We publish the fall text of the constitution of Jhe Road Association. It ?? l?nf- tt70 fhinlr fhqf Jt PmbodieS all that is uece-isary to perfect the organization. Tbe very essecct of the plan is the road ciub. These clubs, according to tbe constitution, are to be formed in each township, ar.d we earn_^_estly urge that no delay be made in tbeir formation. We appreciate the fact that writing alone will not create road club9. There most be action. Sorely there is not a township in the county but that a man can be found who wiil undertake to start the machinery in motion. One trouble is that there is no opposition to good roads, and we ?an not see bow there ca\ be. Opposition always arouses action, acd if the advocates of good roads met with seme opposition, it is likeiy >hat the clabi wonld scon be organized. But what is the good of the association? Many people will say that they want good roads, but they do not see how the association is goin*' to get tbem. It might be a sufficient answer to them to say that nothing was ever accomplished by doing nothing. If absolutely nothing is done to have our highways improved, then we ceitainly shall Dever have them improved. It is hoped that the formation of this asso? ciation will keep prominently before the people the importance of good road?, and make them see to It that even under the present system efficient wcrk is done. A vigilant council, in *.nc-AAAf AlAnA TTT/l.nl/3 Ka TOW VftllltU llilO 1 UiVUVj nvum i/V IV* J t M.M*. ble to the county. The council would report parts of the couity where the roads are not properly worked, and it would not contest itself by merely mating reports, but hammer on it until the roads were worked. By having representatives from every part of the county, a3 provided by the constitution, it would ensure attention Ann T?rrtK?TTor?5 cr?if Kr>nf IV UUi ill^U>Vt*YCj TTiVUVUb tion. The constant agitation of good roads would in itself produce good" effects. It is hoped that the organization in this county will be the nueleus lor the organization of 8 Siate association for the improvement of good roads, and that ultimately the whole State will be interested. Now a lew words to the citizens ol Winnsboro. The fact can not be diaguisea that good roads mean more business for the town. Farmers are not going to haul cotton oyei bad roads, if they can go elsewhere. If the roads to Chester and Columbia are better than the roads leading to Winnsboro, unless the distance be too great, farmers will take their cotton to Chester and Columbia, instead of gffX '* - V marketing in Winnsboro. Where cotton is sold, there also will the trade be. We think that this township should take the first ?teps towards forming clubs, and that some active work should "bs done towards improving the roads. An example should be set by Winnsboro. The merchants are especially interested, and we call upon tdein to act, and to act at once. WILL BEETS BEAT COTTON? The Columbia Stafe urges the farmers to write to the department of agriculture for samples of the seed of the sugar beet. The department will give instructions as to cultivation and testing. We join the State in the suggestion, but we fear that it will do no *f nrocont ? Wbbvu x buiiuuo wv ^4wwvuw x' prices. "Whenever cotton gets down x -o the neighborhood of oix cent?, our ?f farmers begin to discuss other crops that can be produced here, but a? soon as the lime comes for action, it's all forgotten. Our Columbia contempotjL-, rarysays: "The growth of tha beet ^ 6ugar industry is one of the marvels of modern agriculture. Iu 1888 tbe world's suddIv of ?u2ar showed tbe proportions of 48.6 per cent from beets and 51.4 from cane; in 1897 the proportions were 66.2 per cent from beets and 33.S from cane/' If South Carolina should try tha experiment and succeed, it would [beat cotton all to pieces. Why not try it? If it can be shown that beets will beat cotton, the South Carolina cotton farmer can then sell his cotton when he pleases, and then he can reap some of the protection accorded the sugar trust. Tlx eke can be no return to the old hsr.pr.nm SkVjfpm. liARftnse? nnr State Constitution prohibits it. When yoa oppose the disp?c3ary, therefore, you do not favor bar-rcoms. The strong position agsinst the dispensary is that it is degrading the dignity of the State ior it to engage in such a business. No high-toned man can lower his dignity wirhout running the risk of ~~ havinsr his recntation stained. Of course, we mean dignity in its high and proper sense, not mere haoghtiness too o!t?n mistaken for dignity. It is the same with the State. When the S'ate degrades its dignity, it's apt to have its reputation tarnished. "Witness tbc bloodshed and foul corruption incident to the dispensary systern, No, we do not want to return to PH the "old oar-room system," but we do z _ x _ i jj want 10 sse me oieie s gouu aams; - \ restored to its pristine glory, and itesn not be done as long as the Sts*e is J, engaged in this business, with her palmetto branded on whiskey bottles. - The anti-?igarette law of Tennessee n&| ~ i has been declared by Federal Judge fflfil / Larton to be in violation of the interra state commerce law. It mast have bpftn something like our dispensary law. gljrjV ^g*5gT " ~ir r ni'mr itlirTittmrnm HOLD YOUR COTTOV. Tt' lOt CAN! Alfred B. Sbepperson, the famous cotton expert and ftaiisiician, says, ''cotton is not dear at present prices.'' We never like to advise how to deal j with the cotton market, but Mr, , Shepperson is an eminent authority and it is seldom that he has been ( wrong. He views th-j cotton situation , as follows: j "Cotton is not dear at present prices. , It has not been so low since May, 1895,' 4 the season of tbe great depression in ' cotton. I think that spinners can now J manufacture it at a lair prom, ic may ] go lower, and the prospects for rn immediate improvement are not encouraging, bat from its present price it woald jump by leaps and t>ounds should unusually early frosts occur. The spinner who buys at present prices and in case of further decline, follows the market down, will probably not have couseto gret such action, ( for he will have obtained his supplies ' of a raw material (which loses Homing of its value by being kep')? at a t price far below the average for many years. Those who wait for lower prices in their anxiety to secure their cotton at the very "bottom" may find their plans upset"by sadden and severe ; frosts and be compelled to pay weil for i their cotton?and experience. The ! crop is far from being seemed Its ( extent and its quality will largely depend upon the weather during the next , six or seven weeks. Frosts will reduce , the )ield and fronts and rain will injare the quality. The present re- ; ceipts are excellent, both as to quality | cfoT\1o on/1 crvinnpre r.ppfl not be auu c l J UUU W^UMV* v ? _ afraid to buy it and put it away, for ( there are far worse investments ihan actual cotton of good grade and staple at present prices. Those who enter- . tain the idea that cotton will fall to J l?w nrir.es of the season of 1894 95 are hngg.'ng a vain delasiou. The , conditions are essentially different, and I never expect again to see mid- , dling cotton seJl in New York for , 5 9-15c, which was the price in No- 1 vember, 1894, and in March, 1895. It j is well ;o remember that in April, 1895, it had advanced nearly 1 1-2 cents, and in May advanced 3-8 cents more, making an advance of nearly 2 : cents in two months. "Exactly this state of things may , oc:nr again if prices are forced too low : dnrina ?hA nrftlient deDression." If Mr. Sbepperson is right, it would < pay ihose who can do so to hold their ' cotton. As a general rule, we believe | the wise course is to market coiton jast J as fast a? it can be picked, ginned and | packed. These who hold generally i lose money; but if it be true that at present prices farmers ?au not pay the \ cost of production, there is not much ; to lose by holding, provided there are i no pressing debts. If pressed by j debts, generally the best thing to do is to sell and apply the proceeds to their payment. Mr. Shepperson plainly advises holding cotton; and if farmers can do eo, they might follow his suggestion. upper loxgtowx locals. Noticeing in your last issue your complaint, that we were not sending in enough news, we hasten to comply with your request. You'll have J to excuse our negligence, it wasn't willful?for we've been very busy picking cotton. It really look* as if ' the whole crop will be harvested by the latter part of the montb, and it will be a very light one too. A short | crop, ana a low price zur 11, iuu.a.5 rather discouraging. We admit this, ( but we are not going to grumble about 1 it. We are thankful that things are no worre^than they are. We should strive to look on the bright side and : not so much on the dark as we are 5 wont to do. We thave a great mafiy j things to be thankful for. Oar cribs 1 are going to be fuller than nsaal this , year. Osr farmers, it seem?, have ] commenced to realize imt it aoesn't pay to have their cribs and einoke- ] houses in the west. They realize the fact that they can't pay for tbem (their 1 supplies) with cotton at fiveceuis per J pound. We hope and thiuk that they J will hereafter endeavor to raise every- ( thing for home consumption at home, j This, we think, will be the best remedy for their many ills.
