COTTON ASSOCIATION.
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. Now wve hope he will be
reelected. Wec are not in favor of
turning out any old soldier who is
competent to perform the duties of
his offce Chief Justice Pope is
competent. 1esides, we like him.
Laurens Advertiser.
There is little doubt Chief Jus
tice Pope will succeed himself
And he should succeed himself. H(
is competent and he is a brave Con
federate soldier and a hightone(
gentleman.
The city council should do every
thing it can to enlarge the public
s(itiare and to widen the street
wherever possible.
The dispensary investigatine
committee is in session in Colum
bia this week. The state board of di
rectors were present in answer tc
summons but have not been put or

Newberry College Gymnasium.
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. It will be a structure
of brick and wood, 40 x 85 feet,
with all apartments suitable for an
up-to-date gymnasium. It is loca
ted on the campus to the rear of
Smeltzer Hall. Work has already
begun, and will be pushed rapid
ly to completion.
Keeper County Home.
At a meeting of the county com
missioners held yesterday, the es
timate of county expenses for this
year was made up and will be for
,warded to the comptroller general.
We will -publish in Tuesday's is
sue an itemized statement of these
expenses, but it might be stated
here that the total foots up $25,115.
12, which will require a levy of 4
mills for ordinary county purposes.
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. Mr. Epps is a
good man and will fill the -place ac
ceptably.
Dr. W. E. Pelham, Jr., wvas re
elected county physician.

Pious propriety reached high
tide in the case of a man who was
about to undergo an operation for
appendicitis, and he declared that
he did not wvant the operation to be
performed until his pastor could be
present.
"Why do you want your pastor
present ?" asked the physician.
"Because I wish to be opened
with prayer," was the reply.
