CIRCULATION 2.300. Lexington cotton?7 Many of onr readers are interested in the war news, but we must be idid that the reports are so controdiotory, one day one has advantage n?xt day just the opposite. This morning it is said the German army lines on the west have been broken and ??~ L ? ? *r r? 1 of/\ moy are ill ui^UI, Lie a* y xubcs oil.. British, and French gaining further advantage on the front, etc. If the "calamity howlers" wou'd * only be calm and allow business conditions to passnn without their scare orow with blue feelings as if we were all bound for the poor house, everybody would feel more cheeful, business better and things would run smothly as if there Were no war in the foreign lands. Life and business are partly what you make them. Don't worry, don't grumble, because things are not what yon would like them to be but do your part, look on the bright side, be c-heerfull and have a kind word for rcryone and in the end it will pan eat right and you will feel betrer. Brood over things and worry yourself out of all humor for no good. Try our medicine. m Columbia's New Chief John W. Richardson, Columbia's new chief of police, succeeding W. C.

Be Fair To The Basks y' ' , It has been a good many yeais sine* we hare had to face saoh & crisis as It now confronting the people ereiywhere. With cotton selling for Jes* than eight cents, and everything ilia* goe^ to scwfcain life being at the h?ghoat figure on record, makes a sitna tton alt too bad. The farmer caunot payout at the present price of cotton {fe has spent too much in making it * The cost of production has bean sli ; too great to be forced to sell. Th. hanks will certainly hare to hiv some money to meet their obligations II woald be most anreaeonab'e a_d most nnfair to expect them to "carry"' notes always. Theyjost can't do it, that is all there is to it. It is understood that by paying part, the banks will be willing to carry over the rein ^yider a few months longer, in the hope that conditions will material y y Change for the better. If it were n for the kindness of ti e bankers inde* d the people would be even in worse co 4i&on. They are willing and anxiocu to do ali they can to help the farmers and others who need help; bat it is unfair and nnjnst to expect them to cany all of the 'load". It is not the intention, neither is it the desire of u ;any banker in this county, to be hard | ?n those who owe them. They cer\ taanly do not want to foreclose a single paper and they are not going to do Jt if there is any other way around ic. Oar advice to the farmer is to do all ? pan for vour banker.
