OUR COTTON MARKET ON A BOOM. The Newberry Herald and News has the following to say about New berry as a cotton market: "AsThe Herald and News has 1 heretofore remarked, Newberry has I been one of the best cotton mar kets in the State this season. Onl Saturday we had wagons in New berry with cotton from within three t miles of Laurens, and nlear Clinton r and Cross Hill. Men sold cotton here who did not even know where the banks were, beca."se they had never been here before with cotton. The merchants will reap the benefit : of this together with the farmer, for every man who sells cotton will spend some money in the same town in which lie sells." i Wlhat is true ot Newherry is.trie of every other place or cottuin mar- C ket; that is, that where a manl sells i his cottonl that is the Ilace where lie is most likely to ly his neces sities. BiLt there was 110 1)eItd of Iamttrens )mimttv cottot1 goiitl, to Newberry last SatIrldav, as oir cit \ pas pinig as ntetch for cotton t Newberr y. lit fact, our market b has )eeit looking up for the past three weeks and, as ettupated with Ihe (iotations fromn any oier muar ket in the State, Laurens has, for the past week, paid the very high- a est price for cotton, atid there is no tj need now for the Laurens farmer to take his cotton to Newberry or anywhere else.-arensville lier ald. i -- i Greenwood has been paying as SC much for cotton as Atlanta, at least she did last M\onday, and we haven't heard of any, other town in a I South Carolina paying as much.--- ot Laurens Advertiser. Close comparison shows that tr Greenwoo(d is always ahead of other towns in this as weil as other things.-Greenwood Index. (I We do not know, why it is, but w the fact remains that Newberry'sc cotton market all the season has CC brought cotton from many miles c arond, even within a few miles of li Laurens and close to Greenwood. sc In fact cotton has been bought by sc the mills here in other towns atnd b( shipped for less motieV than it could er he bought on the square from the cc wagons. We have often had occa- V sion1 to ct.iplain of the Newberrv h cotton market, but this year it has et bken at the top all the while. We ti do not claim that Newbeiry is al- T ways ahead inl everything, but our I claim is has--ed ipon facts in the cot- tl toi market. The Icrald Id News p delights ini the p)rosperity of all of its neighbors anid we arc glad to see lie smaller towts like L.-o rents and elC G reeniwood mtoving ahiead and keep ti ing iul w~ith the procesion. t c AS TO CONSISTEiNCY. I WVhat weC wrote ini regard1 to the i article of TI. J. WV. on -'oumnty fi-s niances w~as inot inteinded to provok a controversy. iIe n rites aniother article chatrging us withI it consist- a ecdy. Not at all. We are entire-ly conlsistentt as we shall endeavor toh prv to our friend. c We did .not criticize anybody notr i (d0 we object to criticism, and we hold that the public antd oflicial actst of a public oflicial are proper siub jects of j ust and( homiest and fair cr-iticismi. I f a public officer ex pe-cts to escape criticism lie had het ter remtatin a priv-ate citizen. I 'T. J . WX. 's criticism of the financcs of the coutty we thought was mi leaidinhg, not initenitionially , bumt it was ineverthieless, ini that lie sitted the people did not object to theex penituire of this mtontey if they could see where it wenit, leaving the conclusiotn to be dIrawni that a $2, 0ooo diebt had beeni piled up with noiting to shiow for it. We Jner-took to say t hat there was someithitig to show for it, without regard to the qute-tsti whether or mnot the imioney was juidiciouisly s pent I \\' arc stirp risd at thle st ate ment of our corresponident that the steel bridge, lenvi-wg out a 'few muer ::hants" does not benefit the tax payers of the county. That is a aarrow view to take of any public itility. Apart from the fact that :hese "few merchants" pay a con ;iderable portion of the tax of the :ounty and are entitled to some :onsideration, the broader view is hat whatever helps any considera >le portion of the people ot any :ommun:ty is of benefit to the en ire community. just as well say hat we should not build a bridge cross Enoree river lecause it would enefit only a "few" people who ive in that section and have occa ion to cross that river. \Ve sup ose t hat there are numerous bridges a the county that will niever he of ny direct benefit to T. J. W. be ause he may never have occasion : cross thei, and so far as he is oneertied they had just as well not ave been blilt. Then thee m.V e b,rides that arC of direct benefit T'. J W. that will never be used irectly or ildirectlY -byV pcople in tlit-r sections of te Coliltv, an1d lee pple who pa taxes elp to lil(d them. Wiatever .l any mt (t the counlity. 01 even a ''-1w lerehalts, " lel ps I lhe eiiti'e COintlv. ut there are other people, besides "few merchants" who are glad iis steel bridge has been built 7e may never cross this bridge and ive no interest in any mercantile isiness and yet we are glad the -idge was built and had hoped to e another one built during this -ar for we want to make it as eas% id as convenient as possible for ir friends in Saluda to bring their Oduce to our markets and do their adinlg with our merchants We !ed to take broad views of such lestiois. As to sewerage in the court house e have nothing further to say ex pt that our position is entirely 1nsistent. We did want a new )urt house, and do now, and would ke to see it takon out of the public luare, and that is one reason why much money should not have ,en spent on sewerage. The sew age in the jury r oims would have >st but little and it is a great con :I)ienice to the jurors, and should ive been put there even if a new urthouse is built. Sewerage at e jail was a sanitary necessity. he grand jury insisted that sew -age should be puit in. And cer inly ill so lrge a contract coi t itive bids should have been re ived. lai regard to good roads ma; inery we thought it was a ini take! incu r this dlebt in the theni coni, tion)1 of the coutvt finantces..
