We are "agin" the proposition. ? ? ? * . A headline says '"The world needs cotton." Yes, but not half .so bad as . -cotton growers need the money .their cotton should sell for. * * * .? When corn sells ?below one dollar! and cotton below ten cents there is; something mightily out of adjust meut, and some way should be -speed-, ily found to restore a normal status.': ? * * * A little paint applied now .and then to the cheeks of a lass is not so bad, but we never want to see their dainty fingers discolored with nicotine. * . * . By entertaining a proposition to erect a $350,000 home in Washing ton for the vice-president indicates -that Congress is talking economy snore than it will be practiced. * * * * We have been told from our youth np that figures don't lie, yet it is al most unbelievable that more cotton has been ginned in Edgefild county this fall than last-?-20,442 bales in 1919 and 21,364 in 1920. ..*.??'? if..??* -The action of Republican leaders in Congress in thwarting plans to aid cstrickes cotton, corn and wheat .growers, is mighty poor pay for the loyalty of western farmers during the recent campaign and election. * * * * "Here's hoping that success will at tend the efforts of the Presbyterians to establish a Greater Chicora. The Advertiser would like to see every institution of learning transformed into a greater one. . . * * ? * \ Don't you think it would be the ?part of wisdom for Congress to go a. little slow in making appropriations until a forecast is made of the 1921 income tax receipts? It is not difficult to figure on which side of the loss and gain account the balance will be .with corn, wheat and cotton growers. * * * * Wages Being Lowered. The papers report numerous in stances of reduction of wages of em ployees of cotton mills. As much as it is to be regretted, such action was inevitable. When raw material and thc manufactured product decline, .labor, a very considerable item in the cost of manufacture, must like wise decline. It is hoped, however, that wages will never be as low as at one time in the past. Every labor er is worthy of his hire, and that hire . should be sufficient to provide a com .?ortable living, plus a reasonable j . amount of luxuries and pleasures. .No class of people should be forced by economic conditions to merely eke out.an existence. While it has made the cost of . ready-to-wear garments higher tn price, yet every unselfish person re joices that the old "sweat shops" of - the -congested cities are things of the psst. Along with the decline of seoras of other things, a reduction of wages ?was expected but let us hope that conditions will not make too great reduction necessary. * ? * * Salude Standard Changes Hands. . We reluctantly bid adieu to Mr. Grady Hazel who founded the Saluda . Standard a number of years ago and who has made it such a creditable newspaper. He has sold the paper to Mr. Ira Armfieid and his brother and passes from the field of journal ism into more profitable fields of ac tivity. Mr. Ha2?l has been a credit and an honor to.journalism and has through his paper been a strong fae- . tor in building up the town of Salu da. But. we. trust that he will not leave. Salu'dr.. .It gives us pleasure to say that Th? Standard is still in good and capable hands. As editor Mr. Ira Armfieid will labor unceasingly for the further growth of Saluda and for the common good of the county. Be sides being well qualified as editor, being a graduate of the Citadel, Mr. Armfieid, like his brother who is as sociated with him, is a practical newspaper' man, which in times of great stress and strain, like the pres* ent, counts for much in' making a newspaper. The new owners of The Standard have located in one of the best newspaper fields in the State, there being but one paper in the county, and we feel confident that they will make good by measuring ap to the highest expectation of the clientele. The Advertiser wishes them a full measure of success. They rich ly deserve it. ... .

"I will sing a song of our Baraca^ And of some the folks-see? ?f First of all our cracker-jacker Teacher, Dr. R. G. Lee. (Chorus) Then hurrah for our Baraca, And the good that we have done; May our ranks include no slacker Till we have the victory won. You should not miss a single meet ing, You'll always be glad you come When you h?Ve received the greet ing, That you get from Billie Strom. There you'll see our Miss . Ruth Lyon, * . Our pianist so bright and fair; May she play for us in Zion '. When we reach the "Over There." Then Miss Wilson and Miss Parker, Whose music we so dearly love; It makes us think of angel harpers That will play for us above. Now to all the others, greeting; I'd like to name them one by one, But time is precious, time is fleet ing, And my song is nearly sung. Then hurrah for our Barac?, May each day bring members new; May our ranks include no slacker Who comes only to the stew. . - Composed and read by W. S. G. Heath, at the Baraca Oyster Supper.
