' STREET PAVING.
m The matter of paving the streets
of the city is receiving attention in
B. various quarters. The people are
Krctalking about the project and they
BKl generally favor the step forward.
helieve that matters of this
HV-lond should be carefully investigated
|Ely the people before a step is taken.
EE|$he city council will soon meet in
jHlraifel regular monthly meeting, and we
R ggiliggest that the committee on streets
P^iSke this matter up with a view of
ascertaining the cost of doing the
necessary paving on the public
square and on the most traveled
p streets.
The Press and Banner expects to
make certain investigations on its
own account, and the information
received will be given its readers to
r the end that when the people sign a
petition for a vote on the subject of
issuing bonds for this paving they
may do so intelligently, and may
vote intelligently when the time
comes to vote.
The taxpayers of the city will
have no objection to paying the necessary
amount of taxes to carry on
the work, and to retire the bonds,
if the work is done in a proper man
ner.
And we must look after the matter
of sidewalks. If you are in
favor of assessing abutting property
holders for the purpose of paying
in any part for these necessary
walks, speak to the members of the
city council, and let them have the
benefit of your views. Should the
city council feel called upon to ask
the delegation in the General Assembly
for any legislation on the
subject, its members would like to
know the views and the wishes of
the public.
This matter should be thoroughly
thrashed out now so that, with* the ,
coming of the good weather in the ,
spring, work can begin. If we ex- ,
pect to be anything other than a ,
country village, we must pave. So
let the work go forward.

^ THE INTEREST RATE. \
1
^ The rate of interest allowed by ,
law in South Carolina is excessive.
Everybody knows that this is a fact. (
Even the lenders know it, with the
result that many loans are being
made from time to time at six and .
seven per cent, and occasionally at
lower rates.
I
The country cannot prosper with
the rate of interest charged in this
State. The man without means can- '
r?nf hntr n finmp nn a credit and hoDe
,
to pay for it, if he must first pay
eight per cent, on his investment The
business man cannot run a business
I
where money must be borrowed if
he must pay this excessive rate. By 1
the time he pays his expenses and
the rate of interest now charged the
profits of the business are gone.
And so it is in every line.
We trust that the members of the
General Assembly from Abbeville
county will be found among those
who wish to make the state prosper,
and the state will only prosper when
business opportunity is as good here
as elsewhere. Six pet cent, interest
is enough, and the law should so declare,
and its provisions should be
made operative by such penalties as
forbid people from overstepping the
law.
The banks will cry aloud we know.
But the stockholders of the banks
are requiring too much of the banks.
People who invest their money in
bank stocks do so as much for safety
as they do for profit, and six per
cent, is a good return for money
safely invested. It is believed that
banks would in the end make as
much for stockholders at six per
cent, as they now make at eight because
deposits every year are growing,
as is the banking business where
the bankers are alive to the. situation.
At any rate, prosperity and
good business conditions will not
come with the rate of interest which
we now have.
CHANGE THE DATE. ]|
The Press and Banner is opposed
to the election of trustees for the
city schools, except in a town meeting.
We believe that all officers of
municipalities and political divisions .
should be elected in town meetings ^
on a viva voce vote. We are op- t
posed to electing trustees at a pri- P
mary election, of ' a general elec- j
tion, along with salaried officers. d
The office of trustee of the schools j!
in any community is a thankless job. e
But it is one which, while no man I
should seek it, no man should de- *
cline when elected except from nec- j
essity or an inability to perform p
the duties of the office. It is import- jj
ant, therefore, tht the best men in v
a community be elected to these po- r
sitions. And this can best be done *
when the people who are interested t
in the schools attend the meetings t
more generally and make the selec- "
tions on merit alone. c
For these reasons we Deiieve tnat
the time for electing trustees in this
school district should be changed in
accordance with the resolution of
the citizens, who attended the school
meeting during the holidays. The
time now fixed by law is a most inconvenient
one. People are not
really interested in business matters
then, and the weather is generally
disagreeable. Various causes contribute
to a small attendance at the
meetings unless there is a "movement."
The school year ends, we
believe, on July 1st. It is appropriate
that the meeting should be
held in the lass of June so that the
new trustees may begin their terms
at the beginning of the year.
The meeting should be held in day
time, we believe. In June the
stores close at six o'clock. A meeting
called at that hour would be attended
by the business men Generally,
and would be more largely attended
than the .meetings now are. t
We, therefore, hope the delegation 11
will so amend our school law as to jj
change the date for the annual elec- \
tion of these trustees in accordance r
with the resolution.

LEARN WHAT IT COSTS b
TO MAKE YOUR CROPS y
a
Keep Accounts and See Where Your
Money Goes in 1917. i
Clerason College, S. C., Jan. 1.? ^
The first of the year is a period of g
new resolutions, and to keep farm ^
accounts would be a new resolution
for nearly all the farmers in South ?
Carolina.
If you sell a bale of cotton for ?
$75, do you sell at a gain or a loss?
Most farmers can only guess at the u
answer. The guess in this case q
might be correct, but there are
many other cases in which the guess ^
will be wrong. What combination ,
of crops seems to be best for your .
farm? In what ways can you cut
down your cost of production? Of t
marketing? Is your business better ?
than it was last year, or the year
before, or five years ago? These .
are some of the things a farmer ?
VJ. j A. i. _i .i H
ougnt lo try uu linu uut auuut just a
as earnestly as a merchant or a f
banker tries to find out about simi- J!
lar things in his business. ?
Keep accounts. This does not 1
mean estimating what labor, or ma 7
chinery, or animal power, "ought" *
to cost for a certain crop. It is not s
much better to make a guess at 7!
each of a few items and then add t
them than it is to make one guess r
at the whole cost. The thing to do 0
is to keep a careful, day-to-day a
record of every kind of expense. At n
the end of the year, after deducting
expenses, plus interest on the invest- *
ment, plus value of products used in "
the home, one will have left the P
farm labor income, which is gen- ?
erally taken as an indication of a j1
man's success or failure. ?
If a man does not feel equal to J1
upuillllg Up <X OtCiii ui avvvuiiuj *v*
his whole farm, it is suggested that t
he keep the records of just one crop o
for the year, accounting for each o
detail. The. result will probably r
open his eyes and lead him to be a
an all-round business farmer an- F
other year. c

There was a Royal custom ii
Vance of blowing bugles at ta<
ieath of a King and having the Her
Ids cry \"The King is Dead! Lonj
jive the King!" 1916 has about pass

less men do not live in the past am
he cotton market hardly lives in th
>resent as its movements are largel;
lased upon the future, and a ver;
trief summary of the past will onl;
<e made for the purpose of examin
ng the probabilities that we mus
sxpect during the coming season.
It is fairly well conceded that th
American growth this year has bee:
.'xtremely moderate based upon th
lemand situation.
The actual takings of the worl
ast year of American cotton (Ne^
fork Cotton Exchange figures) wer
13,631,076 bales, and the actus
:rop including linters (Cotton Facts
ras 12,862,000 bales, causing there
>y a redaction in the visible^ suppl
is carried o*er from the year befor
>f approximately 800,000 bales, an
eaving a visible supply at the be
finning of this year, (New Yor
Cotton Exchange figures) of 2,235,
>34 bales/ To this we must add th
growth ths year which the Govern
nent estimates at eleven and hal
trillion bales, plus linters or a tots
rop of approximately 12,300,00
tales together with the carry-over a
nentioned above, making a total o
.4,535,634 bales.
It is conceded that in the 1915-1
:rop a great deal of invisible cottoi
ame into sight thereby incre^sinj
he 191^-16 into sight well over it
growth production. This cotton wil
tot appear this year as it has gon
>ut of existence and we believe tha
he growth crop this year will b
learer the actual census figures tha:
iny crop in recent years. From th
otal supply of 14,535,634 bales w
oust deduct a reasonable visible fo
i carry-over at the $nd of the sea
on and in looking at this feature w
nil refer to the carry-over durini
ecent years as follows:?
? Bales
1915-16 2,236,000
1914-15 3,100,000
1913-14 1,559,000
iyiz-13 rr,uo?,uuu
1911-12 1,359,000
It is only normal therefore t
igure that a carry over of 1,200,00<
ales would naturally be carried ii
he visible supply on July'31st nex
ear as any reduction from ihe?i
igures would practically mean a spo
orner in the world's Vnarket, am
ensationally higher prices.
Basing oUr forecase, however, up
n normal facts and allowing for i
isible supply of 1,200,000 bales a
he end of the season, we have avail
ble for consumption this year fron
hese figures a supply of 13,335,63<
ales. This ends our argument fron
tie standpoint of supply.
Let us now glance (from th<
tandpoint of 1917) at the demand
Lt the writing of this letter it is to(
arly to give the exact supply or con

ince August 1st of the present yeai
re have exported 2,788,&61 bale!

ractically one-third more than w?

ear were 6,051,062 bales ''ant
hould we run one-third over thii
mount for the balance of the sea
on it would mean exports of ovei
,000,000 bales. We think this hard
j probable although possible. Thii
rould mean also two-thirds of oui
vailable supply exported and it can

re consuming cotton in volume un
nown in the past. Glancing at th<
omestic consumption situation w<
nd that last year, that is to saj
915-16 domestic mills consumed 5<
er cent, of the United States growtl
gainst 40 per cent in 1914-15, 3*
er cent, in 1913-14, 38 per cent ii
912-13 and 33 per cent in 1911-1J
nd in actual figures the consumptioi
y domestic mills last year was 7,
18,596 bales. Should any such con
umption continue it would mfeai
hat the world would need well ovei
5,000,000 bales of cotton to fil
heir requirements this year, an<
here is not that much American cot
on in existence statistically or t<
est of our belief.
There is another fact of vital in
erest. The dry goods markets hav<
sd the advance and not speculation
it this time last year farmers wer<
irge holders of cotton; this yea:
heir holdings are negligible. A
his time last year country merchant
fere large holders of cotton an<
his year their holdings are verj
mall. Last year spot speculator
fere holders of cotton and this yea:
he speculative holdings are mucl
educed. The market has advance<
n good healthy underlying fact
nd not upon any abortive holdinj
lovement or unsound speculation.
Has cotton advanced too high? Ii
he week of December 16th last yea:
larch cotton sold at 12.75; at th<
ire:>ent writing March cotton is sell
tig at 17.50 approximately one-thir<
ligher than it was at the same per
od a year ago. Are shoes a thir<
ligher? Is wheat a third higher? I:
inen a third higher? Is paper i
hird higher? Has the general cos
f living increased? Has the pric<
f live stock increased? Can an:
easonable man maintain that th<
.dvance in cotton has been out o:
iroportion with the general- trend o:
ommodities during the past year?
Glancing at the straws that ^he <
wind of probability is blowing, looking
at the shadows based upon careful
thought, we cannot concede that
[ the price of cotton is too high, and
without hesitation we maintain that <
it is too low.
Summary? Insufficient supply,
? competitive demand, prosperity and
possible peace is the question,?and
J the answer will unfold itself. ,

I BATTLE OF THE SOMME
I PICTURED AS SWEEPING
1 TRIUMPH FOR THE ENTENTE
v .
t
t London, Dec. 29.?The battle of
e the Somme is pictured as a sweeping
> triumph for Entente Allied arms in a
i detailed report by Sir General
e Douglas Haie which was issued toy
night and which covers operations
y from July 1 to Nov. 18. Gen. Haig
y terms the battle a triumph in which
' the German western armies were
^ saved from complete collapse and a
. decisive defeat only by a protracted j
e period of unfavorable weather that
prevented the Anglo-French forces
e from taking full advantage of their
successful advance. He declares that,
i nevertheless, it was a triumph which
? proved beyond doubt the ability of
the Allies to overthrow Germany
I "when the time comes." The BritII
ish commander shows himself to be
> confident that the Entente Allien can
s win the war on the western front
y "I desire to add a few words as to
? further prospects," he says. "The
d enemy's power has not yet been
j~ broken nor is it yet possible to form
k an estimate of the time the war may
>- last before the objects for whicn
e the Allies are fighting have been cti
tained, but the Somme battle has
f placed beyond doubt the ability of
il the Allies to gain those objects. The
0 German army is the mainstay of the
s Central Powers and a full half of
f that army suffered defeat on the
Somme this year. Neither victors nor
6 vanquished will forget this and, aln
though bad weather has given, the
g enemy a respite, there are undoubta
edly man! thousands in his ranks
[1 who will begin the new campaign
e with little confidence in their ability 1
,t to resist our assaults or overcome our
e defense.
n "The principle of an offensive cam
e paign during tne summer of 1916 had
e already been decided on by Vail the
r Allies," says te report. . . . "Pre_
paration for the offensive had made ;
e considerable progress, but the day
? was confident of many doubtful fac- ,
tors.
"Subject to the necessity of com- |
mencing operation before the summer
was too far advanced, and with
due regard to the general situation, i
I desired to postpone my attack as
long as possible. The British armies i
were growing in numbers and the
supply of munitions was steadily in?
creasing but a large proportion of the
officers and men were still far
v from being fully trained and the
1 longer the attack was deferred the
I most efficient they would become.
? "On the other hand, the Germans
1 were continuing to press their at- j
tacks at Verdun and both there and j
" on the Italian front, where the Aus- ]
I trian offensive was gaining it was <
t evident that the strain might become ]
" too great, unless timely action was ]
J taken. Accordingly, I agreed that ]
* the attack should be launched when- j
1 ever the general situation required
it with as great force as might be
J available.
"By the end of May, the pressure j
> on the Italian front naa assumea
- such serious proportions that the
- Russian campaign was opened early
- in June and the successes gained 1
t against the Austrians at once caused
r a movement of German troops from
? the western to the eastern front,
r This, however, did not lessen the
J pressure on Verdun and therefore
i it was agreed that the combined 1
t French and British offensive would i
t not be postponed beyond the end of <
1 June. (
3 "The objective of that offensive <
- was threefold. To relieve pressure f
r on Verdun to assist our allies in i
. the other theatres of war by stop- i
3 ping any further transfer of Ger- j
f man troops from the western front
. and to wear down the strength of the 1
3 forces opposed to us. 1
-General Haig sums up the result i
a as follows: t
I "Three main objects with which \
'7 we commenced the offensive in July i
j had already been achieved, in spite .
x of the fact that heavy autumn rains <
j prevented full advantage being ta- (
1 ken of the favorable situation creat- <
, ed by our advance at a time wjien we j
' had good grounds for hoping to j
achieve yet more important success- \
es. Verdun had been relieved, the ?
" main German forces had been held
on the western front and the ene- ^
J my's strength had been ^considerably j
i worn down. The attainment of ali t
three affords ample compensation for <
the splendid efforts of the troops and
' for the sacrifices made. They have
brought us a long step forward to"
ward the final victory of the Allied
2 causes.
"Information obtained, both dur2
ir.g te progress of the Somme battle
r and since the suspension of active
t operations, has fully established the
s effects of our offensive in keep the
1 enemy's main forces tied to the
7 western' front. It is, therefore, juss
tifiable to conclude that the Somme
c offensive not only relieved Verdun
i but held large forces which would
i otherwise have been employed
s against our Allies in the east."
