~.H. AU!,L, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as second class matter. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1905. Library Day. State Superintendent of Education 0. -B. Martin has designated Decem ber 15, as Library Day for the pub lic schools that more libraries under the Aull act may be established. Superintendent Martin requests that schools that have not already secured a library adop -some form of public entertainment to secure funds for this purpose. After December 31, the appropriaiton made by the legislature for this year will no longer be -avail able. This in an important matter and we urge our teachers to 'ake ajdvan tage of the opportunity offered. Unquestionably the cotton growers of the south through their different organizations have -won a signal vic tory in the advance of the price of Their staple product. Now let those who have been lukewarm or stood aloof entirely from any association Immediately become members -thereby enlarging and strengthening the va rious associations, and we may expect even greater results. Let the farmers inform themselves smash the specu lators and their schemes, put their corton under shelter off the ground, hold to it like grim death, reduce their &creagc next year, diversify their crops, make all the manure possile, practice economy, and by the fall of 1907, the bottom rail will be on top. k The farmers today are in better con -dition than they have been for years tumbers are making deposits in banks who never made -any before, many others, are buying land and all around are evidences of prosperity and good Aimes. Didn't SelL rVery few of our farmers sold their cotton when the price reached eleven cents. Mr. :H'arvie Jordan 'has come out in a letter and aidvisei the 'hold ing of cotton till it reaches fifteen cents. ~Loyalty to the association anay require obedience to its man dartes, but whnat of business judgment in this new demand?. We call especial attention to the notice of Mr. R. T. C. Hunter, presi Sdent of the County Cotton association, for Iholding meetings in the various 'school di'stricts. to elect officers and .delegates. We urge all interested -"'and where is the cotton grower that &should not 'be interested?-to attend these meetings and :rhus perfect the Sorganization of the association Throughout the county. Will somebody please tell us why the price of cotton has gone down? Is there any 'more cotton now than there was a week ago, when the price .was 11 cents? I-s the demand any less? Is the supply of cotton goods any greater? Will somebody please tell 'us why the price of the south's staple crop will decline as much as 5 per cent in forty-eight hours. Is there any legitimate cause for it? Daily Mail. -No, there is not any more cotton,'but you -know the selling and buying of cotton goes on without t:here being dany of the- real stuff delivered. That is considered legitimate. There is a minister who appreciates te,editor. At a recent editorial con vention hie offered the following toast: "lIflo save an edi'tor from starvation take his paper and pay for it prompt ly. To save him from bankruptcy, advertise in his paper 'liberally. To save 'him from despair, send every item of news of 'which you can get hold. To save 'him 'from profanity, write your correspondence plai'nly on one side of the sheet and 'send it in as early as possible. To save him from mistakes, 'bury him. Dead people are - te only ones who never make mis 'takes." This is good advice. The editor needs all the Things mentioned in the toast. There is a great deal 'of philosophy in vrhat the Anderson Mail says: "It .iigh+ ave 'been 'different if Mr. .T. Duncan 4ad !Oecn on the other s )f the cotton market." In that c sould the profits made by his SUCCE Eul cotton speculations have b placed to the credit of the conc without protest? Were profits e made and used in this way?-N( md Courier. Why do you ask such questio Are you joking? Did you ever h >f -any kick against the player wl .he player of the game played on right side? Southern Farmer. The first issue of the South Farmer, the agricultural paper wh aotice appears in this number will issued about the 23th instant. Gone To Oklahoma. Fred H. Dominick, Esq., and G.
