The assembling in Columbia of the state cotton association just at this time is worthy of more than passing note. It is not necessary to recount the work of the South ern Cotton association. WVe have but to look at the reports of local banks, the price of farm land about us and the clear receipts to find that all around us there is pros perity and progress. It is not neces sary for one to have slept the sleep of old Rip Van Winkle to wake to find that the cotton growing states have a new face. a new hope. Tho .we are often ignorant of a silent growth when we are ever present, yet present or absent the conditions of the southland is apparent even to the blind. Let us not be confounded by this sudde'n rise to prosperity. Let us not be confused by an abnormal price of a money crop to grasp at bags of gold in 19o6. The end of the rain bow is not yet. The industrial growth of any na tion is steady. What South Caroli na wants to avoid is a back set. In nations as in individuals the re lapse is the dangerous attack. Let's make our gold by cooperation, at all times recognizing and following economic laws. To follow a para phrase of Longfellow might do. The heights by great nations reached and kept Were- not attained by sudden flight But they while other nations slept Were toiling upward in the night. All honor let us give to the or ganization and to all farmers who made the pledge and stuck to the oath in 1905. Yet we are disposed to give greater credit to the planter who will repledge himself for this year and in the face of the high price of 1905, and the fact that the world will need more cotton in 1906 be a man and stick to this obliga tion. The farmer who will give his pledge or even lead the association to believe that he is in sympathy and does not himself reduce his cot ton acreage is not to be trusted:; be ware of him. It is not so hard for the small farmer to carry out the suggestions of the associaiton as in the past year. The same reduction of 25 per cent in acreage is request ed with exception of the man who plants only ten acres in cotton; he is not asked to plant less. In ad dition to this, the South Carolina association endorsed- the principles of the Southern Cotton association such as cooperation of producer consumer, of the banker and the farmer and the. diversification of crops. The association also recom mends tax of'ten cents per bale on the crop of 1906, the collection of which is to be left to each county. The treasurer's report given in this paper today is especially in teresting. Although the life of the association is dependent on co operation the existence depends on its financial support. In contribu tions Marlboro leads other counties contributing $621.55 to the good cause. Darlington, O)rangeburg and Spartanburg have given equal lv wvell. There is only 105.92 to the credlit of Newberry county. Al though this is more than was given by Lexington and Pickens still it is not what Newberry can do and will do. The sacrifice that officers of the associaiton are making, the great amount of time they~ are spending on perfecting the orgam zation dlemandIs that our fmnancial and moral support be extended. Here's saying that Newberry wvill (10 her part in 1906. CHIEF JUSTICE POPE. WVhen Mr. Y. J. Pope, of New berry was elected Chief Justice we were disappointed. He w~as not on our side.

The new gymnasium for New berry college which has been talked about for so long a time. is about to be a realization. Work has al ready begun upon the erection of the building.

The board yesterday paid all bills that were presented, and it wvas thought that all outstanding claims were in, and also paid the money borrowed - from the sinking fund and still had a balance in the treas ury, and will start the new year on a cash basis. The board also elected Mr. T. L. B. Epps, keeper of the county home. Mr. John .A. Suber is the present keeper, and has held the position for several years, and has given general satisfaction.
