This is written at 3.45 a. m.
Monday as I am having to at
tend the Laymen's convention
in Columbia, where I have been
delegated rather suddenly to go.
This week's paper is in the
hands of Mr. L. L. Parker, who
is to receive the praise for the 1
things contained in this issuers
The remainder of this column, j
the local columns, and nearly
all the others are to be filled
with matter arranged by him.
Mr. John Blakeney is responsi- J
ble for the make-up and press
work.

There now, he has spoiled .
the fun. We promised to write his
editorials, not ours. If he had not
told vou who was occupying his
editorial sanctum we might have I
given you some interesting read
ing. we tnougnt lie would be
gone and could not tell, but here
he is at four in the morning to
put you on notice about the
things we write. He has been
running this paper about five
years, and we will venture the r
assertion that he was never
known to rise sd earbT?and this I
time only to put you on notice.

^ . What shall the farmer think of ^
these war times now? He saw
cotton drop from twelve cents to 1
r* six cents in three months, then I
go from six cents to thirteen
cents in twelve months; and now J
, on the verge of planting time
% when he expected the speculator
jL- _JJTPUI l^-e price up to encourage
Tie tarmer to plant a big crop,
^he is witnessing a gradual decline.
The most discouraging
feature of the situation is that
there seems to be little hope of
a rise in price. The facilities for
exporting are still limited, the

ever was at this season, and the ^
prospects are that an increased
acreage will be planted this year.
Nothing is more certain in agricultural
life than that farmers ^
swing from one extreme to the
other. We do not know why
but only know they do it. All
of us seem to be made that way
and powerless to correct our
weak tendencies. Last year we
witnessed a substantial curtail- e
nient in cotton acreage, with ^
good results to the farmer. Why d
should he not expect similar re- ^
suits in 1916? 0
We have never thought it ad- e
visable to discourage the grow- c
i.ig of anv staple commodity.

t o be commended, but the dan- 0
?;er to the farmer is the allure- 2
rient of high prices which pre- P
\ all only for a season. The in- dividual
farmer then would do t!
well to take these things into u
consideration. Let the masses r
rdo as they please, the wise farm e
er is tiie one who provides for li
his own household. The indica- 1(
lions are that the good year 1916 h
will be a mighty good time for c
a farmer to raise his home sup- v
plies. Everything he consumes s
, is advancing, exceot tho rrutrm -
he makes. It is very good to Y
make cheap cotton at low cost, 1
better still to make high priced r
. cotton at low cost, but a large r
yield of cotton, no matter what v
1 lie price, if produced at the ex c
pense of other cr >ps, is apt to k
prove too costly lor the average d
larmer. s
The time was when it a man e
went to his bank and said he t
would maktj fifty or a hundrod c
I-flies of cotton ho could get any n

Invite President to Visit Columbia
Washington, Feb. 7.?Senator E.
D. Smith and Congtessman Bvr
nes today called at the - White
House and strongly urged the
president to visit South Carolina
on his trip to the South. They
reminded the president that the
people of Columbia were really
his people and would not be satisfied
to have him v?sit other
parts of the South and leave Col
umbia out. Upon this showing
the president said that he would
give the matter serious consideration
and that he greatly appre
ciated the invitation which had
been extended him.
There is little doubt now that
a programme for this Southern
trip will be agreed upon within
the next few days, everything
heretofore having been of a
tentative nature.
The president is understood
to have said regarding his recent
Western trip that he was greatly
satisfied with it and felt that a
long step had been taken to put
his preparedness plan through
congress.
"And what is your name?"
asked the teacher of The little
colored girl.
"Fertilizer, ma'am," was the
answer.
"Impossible!" exclaimed the
teacher. "How cmM von be
