Entered as second class mail
matter at the post oifice at Pageland,
S. C., under Postal Act
of March 3, 1879.
December 13, 1916.
Will somebody kindly tell us
why any man should get drunk
for Christmas. Of all the times
in the year this is the best time
to stay sober. '
Plan now to make the holiday
season one of pleasure for all the
family. The man of tne house
too often forgets, and is apt to
think that what is pleasant for
him is pleasant for all. He
should remember that the faithful
mother and the little ones
have hopes and desires, and that
v
a little kindly consideration will
bring joy. Let this be the Christmas
all will remember as the
one when each one was happy.
Make yourself happy by bringing
joy to others.
On Monday of this week fiftythree
money orders were issued
at the post office here, and thirty
nine of them were for liquor.
If we had the* Regular Army
of the Umted States and the
National Guard of all the States
to protect us hourly for the next
fifteen years we should like to
go down to the station and get
the name on each package of
liquor as it comes in and publish
the entire list. When we
gave out a list of all classes, including
some of the good old
Amen corner brethren,we should
expect trouble and lots of it.
The stronger the guard the safei
we would feel after such a list
should go out. .
?
The cotton^Mrket has been
~ playing some strange pranks foi
a few days, and the buyers vyhc
were loaded have been looking
about for warehouse room.
The writer has expressed the
hope that the local buyers may
sell out at or above cost and that
the market would thon ctav rvn
the decline until the 10-ceni
notch is reached again. Ol
course, we do not expect to see
this, but it seems to us that this
would aid in more than one
way some who are to suffer because
of high priced cotton. A
steady decline in the price of the
fleecy staple would have a tendency
to check the soaring prices
01 an other commodities. It
would also prevent a wild
scramble for land to plant
in cotton next spring. Suppose
cotton should cling to
the 20 cent round until spring,
how many farmers would plant
enough corn, peas and other
food and feed crops to supply
their.? Suppose also that everything
should be planted in cot
ton and cultivated' on a 20-cent
basis and then the price should
be 10 cents. The long faces ol
1914 would be short and sym
metrical compared with what
you would see where the bland
smiie has been worn this fall.
Yes, we would like to see the
price of cotton come right on
down tr? to nunte Km. L.%.1
