SltiN THK PLEIHJK.
No farmer who understands tl
proposition will refuse to sign tli
pledge for acreage reduction whic
has been sent out by the Sout
Carolina cotton association and tli
Lancaster county cotton associ;
tion. Tho signing of the pledge wi
not affect the farmer who has a
ready reduced his acreage to the et
tent recommended but he shoul
sign anyway. The farmer who is hi
enough to cultivate many hundre
acres of cotton is big enough to se
that he stands in his own light I)
not curtailing production this veal
Reports are coming in to head
quarters of the county associatio
that the farmers are a little slow t
fdgn. It is not within the provinc
?>f this newspaper to go out and te
the farmer what he shall plant an
how much upon his own land, hut i
it can convince him that a shor
< -op will bring in as much money a
a big crop and cost less in produf
tion. it wid have dot\e a good work
And this is the understanding tha
must come to all the farmers tiefor
i here is anv Bruin niiiiilmr .. :i
sign the pledge. It lias been said hi
many times that it almost makes on
weary to hear it, that the farme
holds the situation and the s' lutioi
in his own hand, but the statemen
is so true thai whether wearying o
not. it should be repeated.
if the farmer wants a big prici
for a little cotton or a little price fo
much cotton he can have what h
wants if he will conduct the pro
ductlon of the staple In the prepe
way. If he reduces and keeps pro
durtion within the bounds of de
maiul. the price will he high; if hi
doe-j not reduce acreage and there i
an overproduction, the price will b
low The News does not believi
the average farmer in Lancaste
county needs to be told these elc
mentary principles, but there is evl
dently some reason why they do no
sign more readily the pledges, am
this paper believes it is became the
do not understand.
It is entirely unnecessary to sa;
that supply and demand is going t
"be the controlling factor in th
price of cotton this yetr It took
war sueh as the worbl had never he
fore known to sky-rocket the pric
up beyond thirty-five rents last yeat
hnt it is different now. There is nn
the demand for cotton there wa
tl en However, the price wlN sky
racket again whenever there i
more demand than supply, and th
way to bring that condition about i
to produce less, and in producin
less, produce more food for th
family and the livestock. Fannin
must at least go upon a busines
principle, if not upon a sripntifi
principle. Therp have been man
people who opposed good roads hr
now there are few outside of th
South Carolina legislature. Ther
have been many people who oppose
cotton acreage reduction so far a
they themselves are concerned bu
wished the other fellow to reduc*
I,ike the opponents of cood roadi
they are becoming scarce and ei
ceedlne far between.

1'rohibitiou is one thing anil I
uaticisiu is another. There is ai
a possibility that the enforcement
the prohibitive measures in soi
sections lias been made so purtic
iarly obnoxious as to create pu
posely^a sentiment for the old waj
One of the best things, if not tl
best, that ever happened for tl
j' states which adopted prohibition w
a prohibition. There are few to cht
lenge that statement and there a
.'.one 10 successrany cnauenge it. u
/prohibition does not contempla
such methods of enforcement )
|(
have been restored to in some so
31 tions. For instance, this from
J1 North Carolina paper:
"Residents returning to this ci
~ front northern points are indignai
over the alleged manner in whW
f they are treated by Virginia otiirei
who search practically every tra
passing through the state in tl
hope of finding whiskey.
" 'I do not mind prohibition.' 01
>f them said, 'nor do I object to ei
forcemeat of the law after it
made, so far as it concerns th:
state. Hut when officers create
more serious breach of rights in o
lc der to carry out a law of less in
'* portanre, the limit has been read
^ ed. If there should start a rise <
6 Holshevism over prohibition it ma
well be attributed to the rude mat
ner in which the officers of Virgin!
~ search the trains, and the suppoi
c accorded these officers by the stnt<
d
" 'In the middle of tlie night th
train is stopped, and with a piste
staring them in the face passengei
e
are subjected to the roughest treai
I - - ing
this ruthlessness. Hut I do n"
t think that America, as a nation
j should he disgraced by its contin
v; uance.'
"The foregoing facts are corrobc
y rated by several persons who cam
r,! throi gh YTginia last week. The
say that this is no longer pract c.
r,t hy federal otlicers. pursuant to in
structions from the attorney gener
, al, but that the Virginia state otll
cers have become worse,"
t We have no reason to bel'eve th
s above story is exaggerated excep
-! that it is so remarkable a statement
a If we were a lawyer we should sa
e that the invasion of a Pullman bert
s hy an officer without a warrant t
g search that particular berth was
e serious violation of law, regardle.i
g' of the nurnose foi which search I
a j made. And. if not a violation c
t) law a violation of principles ny
contemplated by the law. If sue
it practices are continued by the off
an interesting case might li
e brought to trial by the aggrieve
d party bringing in I Mliofmenf againt
s Hte officers, and this might have th
it effect of putting a stop to such prai
flees. If such methods in the et
