Rosser, Dr. Hurt Mitchell and others.
The eapital will be about $2.000. Mr.
Shirley has gone to Athens, Ga., to
get the machinery loaded for ship
ment, and the promoters hope to be
ready to have the thing In operation
by January 1. The plant will be lo
cated on Retreat street, between the
Christian church and Sloan Harkey's
planer. They will install a 40-horse
power engine and will lave power
BUfflctent to light up the town in the
event the town wishes to use it.
About eight employees will be need
ed In a plant of this size. They pro
pose to have a wagon to visit Wal
halla, Seneca, Fair Play and other
towns and collect and deliver laun
dry If the trade demands it. He that
as lt may, we believe the plant will
be welcomed in coming to the rescue
of so many housekeepers who find it
so difficult now to get a good washer
woman, and we wish the promoters
all success in their undertaking.
We are pleased to note that the
South Carolina Methodist Conference

Young ladles, leap year is drawing
near a close. By the way, have you
noticed what a laije crop of mistle
toe there Is this fall?
With cotton at 8 % cents and old
corn $1 per bushel, bacon 11% cents
per pound and flour $5.BO per barrel
everything is all out of proportion.
It is a big problem any way you
fake lt, and just what to do with the
present crop of cotton Is hard to de
cide. Probably it is the best for the
individual farmer to use his own
pleasure and do as he thinks best.
Looking at the past in the light of
calm, sober reason lf> cents was too
high a price to fix for the farmers to
hold for. When that was done com
petition from the spinner and specu
lator was invited. Besides that,
when cotton goes beyond 11 cents
per pound cotton mills operate at a
loss on their manufactured goods,
and mills cannot afford to lose money
long at a time. There aro two sides
to everything, and it is as fair and
just for a cotton mill stockholder to
make a profit on lils* investment as a
farmer. When cotton was bringing
such fair prices lost fall and winter
We nil ought to have sold, but we
didn't. The big crop of old cotton
carried over goes a long ways in
controlling the prices of the present
crop, and ls In a large measure re
Hponsible for the low price now of
fered. We are Interested In a lot
of cotton of the 1907 crop that
could have been sold for 12% cents
but we waited for lt to go higher. Wt
