NOVEMBER 20. MM I. WADE PLAN CONSUMMATED. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo ' has announced the successful com- ' pletlon of the cotton loan plan, 1 ... .V,.- 1 1135.000,000 ha* been fully subscribed with which to loan on cotton at 6 cents per pound. In making the announcement the secretary says in part: "I am gratified to be able to announce the success of the cotton loan fund. Subscriptions for the entire 1100,000,000 of Class A certificates were completed this afternoon. This assures the success of the plan. To such extent a* banks in the Southern states subscribe to Class A certifi- ' rates the 1100,000,000 realized from the Class A certificates will be avail- j able for loans on cotton at six cents ' a pound. Full details of the plan [ have been published and it is not necessary to repeat them there." ' ? "The success of th h plan has at no I time been in doubt, but its completion has been delayed by the selfish opposition of certain textile manufacturers and local Interests who have tried to defeat it. I am happy to say. for the sake of the country, i as veil as for themselves, that thev ' have been unsuccessful." It will be a matter of Interest to South Carolinians, particularly to those in this section of the stale, to know that one of those who helped to consummate the plan was Mr. j Dr.rnanl M. linruch, now of New Vork .hut formerly ot Camden. Mr ti-.ruch offered to subscribe $1,500, #00, but his offer was only p.rrcpUMl tor * 1,000,000. I * There has been a disposition In ; v Borne quarters in the South to ques- | tlon the good faith of the plan, hut " i i a* it Iiuh the indorsement of the Democratic administration and fixes J ^ at least a bottom price for cotton, ' ' we are willing to pin our faith to t n as one means of giving relief to ^ present conditions. Mr. McAdoo rit '' the same time tells the farmers they can help themselves by crop diversification. cattle raising, etc. After t all It is the self-help that counts xuost In the long run. J.1 ItCMIvMltKIt THK fllti'llWS. Next Thursday week, the 26th t .nstant, will b<? Thanksgiving I'uy ' It w II be observed :ih usual in Lan- J aaster by the ( losing of all places of i business and there will he union i services as usual in one of the t churches, at which a collection will J be taken up for the different or plumages in the state. We urge 1 upon all of our people to observe a the day In a becoming manner. We H have much to be thankful for. We % all are aware of the fact, then let's i show It by going to the house of * Sod on that day and contrlbut ng e something of our means to those helpless ones who have been bereft r of their parents and who stand In | I need of the very necessities of life, j r There Is real enjoyment in these services to those who will make suit j t able preparation for the day, I?y prayer and meditation In-fore hand. But even jf you are not a professing t Christian and do not expert to at- | teild tlio services, you ran at least, send by Home one a contribution to i tho Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist or (Episcopal orphanages. It will bo a good investment for you and r will help Home little forlorn < roa-1 e turn at a time when help is really t needed. ? Senator Newlands was re-elecled h to tho senate from Nevada bv only ; o votes, which leads The (Jrccn- a wood Jo'jrnel to remark that that r was "get.tlafc a thing by the skin ol ( c your tooth.'' 1; JA Ktl> eOM.MKNTAKY. "Dr. S. A. Steele, pastor of the Washington Street Methodist church of Columbia, in a sermon Sunday night, declared that the fact that such conditions had been perm tted to pervail as have prevailed in Columbia during the past few years --W ?< .< WW J/U.T ? l*5il? u!r, I will gladly ho ono of 25 parens.' ho na'd, 'to pay a ponny extra rid thUH lift tho awful hurden from hoir embarrassed shouldors.' "A smile encircled the meeting;! he two remonstrants looked foolish.! lie proposal of an increase was put o a vote and carried unanlmousy." We hope we have no hiii li school n this county Home* folk?, many of w om are tolit'elnns, try to discount the influince of the press, but we venture he assertion that the newspapers of , iouth Carolina, particularly the weeklies and semi-weeklies, will lave more to do with the reduction >f cotton acreage next year than the ict of the legislature passed at. the ecent extraordinary session, at a ost to the taxpayers of something ke $50,000. was a sac renection upon tde church. Not that the church Itself should Interest itself In politics but its individual members should be men who would not stand for a lawless city. "There is much in what Dr. Steele had to say. What are we to think of the churches of Charleston when we think of the lawlessness that goes on in that city? Are the members of the churches trying to stop that lawlessness? If they are they ar?- certainly doing i tin a very peculiar way." The above is an editorial from The Spartanburg Journal. From all we have heard, conditions, both in Columb a and Charleston, must be very bad, but how about other parts of the state? We judge that like conditions do not prevail iu th?* Spartan City, due. doubtless to the fact that some months ago there was an awakening on the part of the chur'h-golng portion of that community, wh'ch had the effect of bringing about a change in conditions. We doubt very much, though, whether t'harleston or Columbia are very much worse off than many other communit es. considering their population, as well as other things with which those cities have to contend. It is passing strange that the peace-loving, church-going portion of any community, which is always vastly iu the majority, will allow a comparatively few blind tigers and gamblers to operate in defiance of law But juch Is the case; things are allowed to ro'k along until the evil become* a stench in the nostrils of the pe" pie, when there Is a sudden awakening o* public sentiment and they are forced to go, or shut up Bhop. If the city of Spartanburg is different 'rom other parts of the state, then it b to be congratulated. It would be nteresting and at tbe same time profitable for other communities If The Journal would explain why conlitions in Spartanburg are so much setter than in other municipalities sf the state, if indeed there is ary ;reat difference. WHAT HAPPENED E USE WHERE. nuuui me pooreBt paid class of people in this state is the average rural school teacher, and the cause s usually traceable to a few tightwad property owners, who have rither never had any children, or If hey had, have finished educatng them, at the expense of he state. Those in moderate neans usually want a good school in heir community and are willing to ?e taxed to support it, hut a few >ld moss-hacks generally raise iuc ha howl because of a few uldltional mills levy that the "forvard looking men" in the communy will get disheartened and give up ho idea of having a progressive, vide-awake school and an efficient eacher. contenting themselves with . mere make-shift of a school taught ?y some dude or "dudine," that ;nows aB much about teaching : s 1 ilind tiger does about Sunday chool. Apropos of the subject The tnderson Mail gets off this good ne: "In one of the rural school dis-1 ricts of a neighboring state a meetng of citizens was called recently o consider raising the teacher's pay. "The teacher had been getting the nuniflcicnt salary of $3.1 a month or a seven months term. Some of i he folks thought it was worth more bun this to have the 32 children of he neighborhood carefully and syrornatieally trained. The school dieetors agreed to obey the will of he majority. "When the meeting catne to order t soon appeared that the opposition o better paid teaching came from wo well-to-do farmers who argued bat taxes were already high enough. "Ordinarily such a plea would tave gained a good deal of support unong citizens hard pressed by the truggle to live. "This time It was met by a quickvltted chap who figured to a decimal tow much the proposed Increase vould raise the two wealthy farniirs' tax bill?a matter of a very few :ents. " 'If these gentlemen are the only dies who feel that $50 a month Is no miu-h ?n nou a (.nmr.MA-1 T11K LANCASTKH NI'Wi "DON'T TALK WAK, TALK HISINKSS.'* The following cd to rial from The Nashville Tcnnessean, contains mighty good advice for everybody. Says The Tennesseean: "We are told that the Chicago business men have instructed their salesmen on a matter that has become vital to the business interosls of the country?they have issued this order: 'Don't talk war; talk business.' "And this is a message that it would do well to send thundering to the American people, tor whatever may be their sentiments on the European war they can neither stop hostilities nor aid one side or the other. They are merely on-lookers and t ^iferers w ho can take no part in the conflict, and the more attention they give to the war in heated and profitless discussion of its horrible details, the less they will do n a constructive way for themselves thi.ir rnnnlrv nrt It urmilrl v.Hl for us all to heed the wise Injunction to cease talking about the war and talk about business. "For it must be remembered that everybody s interested in business. We are ail engaged In some kind of business, and when paralysis comes, the strong and the weak, the rich and the poor alike are affected. If al! loiter by the war. nursing their troubles and magnifying imaginary evils, all the while fighting the battles of oth?-r countries, the days will " ome gloomier and the nights darker, for if we breathe the war spirit and talk only of the war and ?.s horrors, the material welfare o! our country* will be neglected and business will become a le.ggr.rd. "The sagacious Chicago merchant vnderstands human nature. He realized that a war-crazed people must have something else than war tales poured into their ears, and he appealed to everbody to quit talking war and talk business "The first shock of the war staggered the world, but th s is no reason that complete paralysis should follow, and now is the time for us all to seek more pleasant pastime instead of the continuous discussion of the war. Let us all not only talk business, but give our time and talents to upbuilding. Improving and advancing?let us talk business snd do business.'' The Charlotte Observer pertinently remarks that "It is a much better plan to rell a bale of cotton at some less and pay debts, than to hold the bale tn ihe hope of dually getting 10 cents, thus in the meantime adding to the distress of the situation. "Lancaster has declared war?on blind tigers."?Chester News No formal declaration yet, contemporary. but we are living in hopes. ____________ Yes, he was a Trotter alright, but he didn't find Teddy Roosevelt the keeper of the race course at the White House.

The marriage 1 of thin interesting couple was quite a surprise to their numerous friends, both in this state and North Carolina. Mr. Plyler is one of the most prominent and best known young men of this county. Mrs. Plyler, as Miss Plyler, is quite popular in tits town, where she frequently visited friends and relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Plyler will make their home in this section for the present.
