COTTON STILL KING
A year ago there were many peopie
who believed that cotton would
|v,.' not
be successfully grown in this
county in the future. They believed
that the day of cotton raising had
passed. There are still some of these
people. But the great majority of the
people of the county, we believe,
have reached the conclusion that
cotton will remain our chief money
SKA'. '
crop.
This does not mean that other
crops will not be grown. The people
who have learned the lesson, and
who are still learning the lesson that
the farms must be made self-sustaining
will not go back to the one
crop plan, whatever may be the result
of cotton growing in the future.
.!/ ^ j
And there will be farmers here and
there who will make money by growing
vegetables of one kind and another.
The potato crop and the peanut
will have their places. But after
all that can be said on the subject
has been said, and after all the experiments
are over, we believe
- that1 cotton will remain king so far
as a money crop goes.
Such being the case it is of the
utmost importance that the condi^
\ tions for successfully growing cot
ton be established and maintained on
every farm. The fight against the
destroyer of the cotton crop must
be begun in the fall, waged through
, the winter, and continued in the
spring and summer months, certainly
until the period of migration.
Pin some counties the bankers are
taking a hand at spreading the information
necessary for the more
backward farmers, and especially
for those who do not know and who
will not learn. Advertisers, we are
- told by The State, in their advertisements
in the county newspapers of
some counties are emphasizing the
work to be done in order.to get rid |
of the' weevil. Chambers of Commerce,
public bodies and business
men in other places are aiding in the
"gut.
In Abbeville very little is being
done. Either the people are morej
backward than the people of other!
counties, or there is an indifference
or a self sufficiency, which prevents
the people here from taking an active
interest in the campaign for
turnin{g stalks and for preparing
for next year. This should not be
so. The people here should be as
much interested in progress as the
people elsewhere. They should be as
willing to set good examples to and
to help their neighbors as the peo
pie elsewhere.
The best way to begin is to begin
by cleaning up your own field, destroying
your own stalks, and by ridding
the weevil of . a hiding place on
your farm. Set a good example, at
least. When you have done that we
believe you will be ready to do a
little more.
A LOST ART.
*v %
The suggestion that advertisers in
the county papers can help in this
and the other "drive" or campaign,
or whatever else you may call it, by
inserting a notice of the work to be
? * ? . J..AuiinntM tinll O n_
done in tneir auveiuacmcnto win
pear of little merit here, at least to
most people, because the people here
do not believe in advertising; that
is, the people as a whole do not.
Some of the merchants, and they are
of the more prosperous of the merchants
of the city, do advertise. They
believe in advertising, but the great
majority of the merchants here think
that-, advertising is a foolish waste
of time and good money.
In counties like Greenwood, Greenville,
Spartanburg and Anderson
and others, whose business men have
at least kept track with the best of
the merchants in Abbeville, money is
spent for advertising. The advertising
campaigns which some of these
business men carry on causes a great
many Abbeville people to trade
with the advertisers. The fact is that
when a business man or any other
kind of a man has something good
to sell he likes to tell about it.

CAROLINA SYNCOPATORS
MAKING GOOD IN FLORIDA
*
In a long front page write-up of
a Shrine Ball held at the Key West
Athretic Club recently, the Key West
(Fla.) Citizen has the following to
say of the Carolina Syncopators who
furnished the music for the ball:
"The Carolina Syncopators, led by
R. Glenn Kay, who have sprung into
;nstai/t popularity through their
finished orchestral work, dispensed
music for the dancers and their program
of dance numbers was excellent.
The lilting strains soon wooed
every one who could dance, and even
some who had forsworn the art, to
the floor and the light-fantastic was
tripped until the wee sma' hours."

In this new picture, which comes to

Mr. Medghan had compiled
the following rules for the care ot
children, Holt notwithstanding.
1?A cuckoo clock is the best pac
ifer.
2?Never try to wash ilittle John

Pullman car one should always have
an encyclopedia handy to answer
all questions.
4?When at dinner in a dining
car, children should be given free
