It appears that War Finance Board is endeavoring to repair some of the damage done by the Federal Reserve Board. * . * * Speaking of the disarmament agita tion now going on over the country, why not begin at home and make it ap ply to scores of individuals in Edgefield .county? * . * . In the proportion that the carrying of pistols is curtailed, just in the same proportion will there be a decrease in the spilling of human blood in South Carolina. * . . ? The lending of a half million dollars on cotton to Barrett & Company, large cotton factors of Augusta, by the War Finance Board sounds mighty good, especially on the eve of the new crop -movement. A fellow in Memphis who deserted his bride the next day after their mar riage is trying to get out of the alli ance by saying he remembers noth ing about the marriage. Were his bride in anywise related to "Maggie," the bonds would have been more indeli bly impressed. * * .* * Another evidence that some Geor gians never learn anything is found in the announcement that one man has died and six more are critically ill down in Georgia from the result of mixing watermelon and "moonshine." Bless your life, we'uns on this side of the Savannah learned better than that ages ago. * * * * That Governor Harding of the Fed eral Reserve Board, a Democrat, is be ing retained in office by a Republican administration is prima facie evidence that his administration of the Reserve Banks has not been without bias or prejudice to the interests of the South and West. Whether right or wrong, defensible or indefensible, he has well nigh bankrupted the South and West. * . * * Automobiles Implements of Death. Automobiles, rightly used, are great blessings to humanity. But when reck lessly driven they not infrequently be come implements of death. Scarcely does one read a daily paper without see ing one or more, generally several, tragedies in which a motor vehicle of some kind has played the leading part. Almost without exception these fa talities are the result of careless or reckless driving. The automobile fills a need in our modern civilization and it has come to stay. Motor driven ma chines add to the comfort, pleasure and profit of their owners when prop erly used and rarely ever become harm ful or hurtful unless the1 driver is at fault. Always keep your machine un der control by driving at a moderate speed and then it will not become an implement of death. I . * ? ? j .-j No Help From Abroad. "Within thirty days the 1921 crop of cotton will begin to open, and as har vest time approaches farmers become more and more interested in the price that will be realized for the new crop. "The yield will more than any other one i ?actor fix the price of the new crop. If a large yield is made, then a decline in ?price will inevitably follow. If a small .yield is harvested, then cotton will sell this fall around the present price or .possibly higher, owing to the financial .condition of the country. One thing is .certain, farmers need not, at least for the next year or two, expect any relief xfrom the spinners and manufacturers ?broad. Ex-Governor Manning, who has just spent six weeks in Eng land and Scotland, having gone abroad to attend the World's Cotton Congress, has given out an interview since reach ing Columbia which shows just what farmers may expect. The following is a paragraph from the interview which has appeared in The State: "The South need not expect any out side help in so far as cotton prices are concerned. She must depend upon her self. If we can organize the growers of cotton so as to regulate the produc tion to meet the demand, make our farms self-supporting as far as possi ble, organize co-operative marketing associations and export cotton as de mand offers, we can work out our own salvation. We must halp ourselves. "Regulate the production of cotton and then regulate its sale. These two matters are our problem." What farmers should do even now is to plan for an increased acreage in grain this fall and a further curtail ment of the cotton acreage for next year. The only way in which to en throne King Cotton again is to make several short crops, considerably less than the world actually needs. * * * * There are Corporations and Corporations. It has been said that corporations have no souls. But such a sweeping statement is untrue as well as unjust to many corporations or business con cerns that are manned and managed by generous, public spirited men who prove over and over again that their hearts are big and located in the right place. Hie announcement appeared in The State yesterday that one of the leading ice cream companies in the capital city has offered to furnish absolutely free of charge 25 gallons of ice cream every Sunday for the orphan children of the Epworth orphanage. This indicates un mistakably that somebody connected with this company or corporation who directs its management has a soul. Think of how happy those unfortunate little children are made by the gener osity of this coperation, and then hereafter when you hear unthinking people criticising corporations unjustly call them to account for their unwar ranted assertions. Personal Tribute to the Mem ory of My Very Dear Friend, W. B. Cogburn. Yes, we played together in early childhood and parted while in our teens, when I left the oid Palmetto State for Alabama. Last summer we met again after having been parted for about fifty years and mixed and mingled together in sweet association in his office, in his town and above all in his pleasant home. But now with a sad heart and tear stained eyes I have to say "Ben, farewell but not forever, I expect to meet you again somewhere,, someday and some how. Ben, you have left a rich heritage for loved ones and all who knew youi>well spent life." And I shall now ask someone who may pass by his grave to stop and say or think for me. He was one hundred per cent an American, two hundred per cent a gentleman, three hundr?d per cent a church member and four hundred per cent a Christian. E. M. McCRELESS. Colorado, Texas. Resolutions on the Death of Mrs. Manget. On Monday,. June 20th, 1921, Mrs. Emily Manget was summoned from duties here on earth to her well earn ed rest in the home of her Heavenly Father. The Trenton Chapter D. A.

THE CORNER STORE ]7y?;) .;;?} K) "?) *?)Y) RED OAK GROVE. Protracted Meeting Begins the Fifth Sunday. Women Pay ing Pledges to 75 Million Fund. (Written for last week.] . Rev. G. W. Bussey preached at Red Oak Grove on last- first Sundiy. He appointed a committee, Mr. Oscar Timmerman, chairman, to orjanize j a song practice for the series of meet ings which will embrace first wok in August, beginning fifth Sundiy in July. Mr. Bussey's son, Rev. Abiah Bus sey will assist his father in the neet ing. He is among the best of yiung ministers, and his many friends 1?re are eager for his coming, as he ha J several times preached for us. There was a special prayer ser ice. for our church, held in the W. M S. on last Wednesday. The diffeint members present taking part in ?he services, believing where two or thee are gathered together in the sane spirit, much good will develop. Our Circle meeting, No. 2 conn ues with the same loving Christin spirit, and at present that constitu?s the work of the society, as there hk not been a business meeting for sel eral months at the church, due to set eral reasons. Our president, Mr, Zelphia Thurmond spent the wint^ in Augusta, and our vice-presideni Mrs. Mamie Bussey has been in bal health for sometime. However, the members who pledged to the 75-Million with contributions1 ?rom the others will pull together, ancj1 hera is hoping to be listed on the "paid apportionment" roll at the an-i nual meeting in August. The Red Oak Grove society is ar ranging for a special program 10th of August, Mrs. Eva W. Bussey hos tess, being assisted by the Y. W. A.'s .Flat Rock was given a real inter esting "movie scene" which is cal culated to be quite helpful, on last Friday evening. We heartily coop erate with everything that is for the betterment of our community, which of course, embraces humanity at large, and we hope our County Agent, Mr. Carwile, will meet with more en couragement, for we believe the ef forts put forth are worthy and mean i for a betterment of condition of / things in general. Therefore he is not the loser, but we, ourselves. Should we not cooperate with and embrace the methods brought to us. What most rural sections need, is to realize the importance of educa tion. While some see and feel the em barrassment for the need of it, the masses do not. And I am eager to see the remote sections wake up, and take action. For there is ample material in the most unexpected homes. Of course we are in a Christian land, but nev er-the-less the problem of how .to get this material and start the work is the thing to do. It can be done. But how? Compulsory education, we have that and it is a blessing to many, yet the needed thing' is enthusiasm. Mr. and Mrs. Drew Nixon from Greenwood visited relatives here re cently. Mrs. Mamie Bussey and her daugh ter, Miss Mamie motored to Cleora last week and were guests of Mrs. John Griffis. The friends of Mrs. A. B. Young rejoice she is still improving since her return from the hospital. A goodly number from here attend ed funeral of Mf. McDaniel at Red Hill last Sunday. Our sympathy goes ( out to the sorrowing f?mily. The little adopted infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Shade Holmes died last Satuday and was buried the 'follow- , ing day at Red Hill. Mr. and Mrs. Press Parkman were < guests of Mr. and Mrs. 0. 0. Tim- j merman last week.
