One insufficiently considered result of the good prices for cotton obtained during recent years is a much higher capitalization of land and consequent pressure for earning interest on great er investment values. In this connee tion some interesting facts are point ed out by tL3 Wall Street- Journal. DuriD- t.he latest 4 crop years t;e ar erage export price of cotton was 10.6 cents. The average export price for the four years immediately preced ing was 8.6 cents. "During the four year period just closed,' says our financial contemporary in comment ing upon these fig-ures, "there has been a very general buying of cotton lands with the' surplus derived from higher cotton profit: This has rais ed the value of cotton lands to a fi gure far above. the value of earlier years of the present decade. Much of the cotton now selling for 10 ,,nts has been grown on these higher-pric ed lands. As long as cotton prices remain on the 10-4cent level, things may go on smoothly enough under this high capitalization of land. But if cotton should decline to 8 or even 9 cents a pound, the burden of -earn ing intesest would be considerably enhanced." This statement presents an excellent reason why cotton prices which would once have been consider ed rather high can no longer be term ed much above low. Cotton lands, moreover, have risen not only be cause cotton itself was higher but to keep pace with a rising general price level. Included in this higher level are labor, farm supplies, and nearly everything else for which the grower must pay. The growing of cotton costs more in every way than hereto fore, and the southern grower does well when he seeks to govern his sell ing accordingly.-'Charlotte Observer. It is a fact that we sometimes over look when talking about high priced * cotton that it is not so high after all for the price of everything else has gone up even in greater propor tion than cotton. Twelve and- fifteen cents, when the price of other things is considered is no more than seven and eight cents when the price of lIothing and provisions is considered. -:T'he farmer needs now more than ever to grow on the farm the things 'needed for the farm. If he does not when he comes to draw his balance at the end of the year he will find himself in worse condition than when cotton was much lower than it 12 no!W.

We wani these improvements to be of a per. manient character. 'We need to gel rid of' the muddy streets~ and sile walks. IN A BALLOON. in a balloon by 1r. W. B. 'eai:%k, eity editor.of the Augusta Chroni cle. Mr. Seabrook gave a vivid de script-ion of h,,w it feels to be five hundred feet above ground in a bal loon, and to dsscend in a parachute and land in a swamp two feet deep in mud. Mr. Seatbrook, since going to Au gusta, has been quite successful in his chosen profession of journalism. The Herald and News feels some pride in his success; for the reason that he received his first training and had his first experience as a newspa per reporter in our office. It is quite a -comi)liment to his ability for one of his years to hold successfully, as he does, the position of city editor of sI) od and inluential a paper as the Auusta Chronicle. THE GAME LAW. The Herald and News a few days ago published the game law. It will be recalled that in this county it is un1,3wft,l to kill pratridge or quail until the 15th of November. In the counties surrounding us, namely, Sa luda, Lexington, and Fairfield, the open season begins on the first of No vember. The hunters have, however, as a rule paid very little attention to the law; and we are informed that a great many people have been shoot ing quail since the 'first of November. A gentleman of this county, who does a good deal of hunting during the season, suggested the other day that there was a greater enemy to the game of this country than the hunter and the shotgun, and that ene my was the dog. He insists that all dogs should be kept up, like cattle and hogs, during the closed season; for the reason that they destroy the young birds. We do not know just how he could accomplish his'purpose, unless it was m'ade lawful to kill every dog on sight that was seen roaming at large. And if that were done, we would soon exterminate the race. of dogs in this country. There can be little doubt however, that he is correct, in that the dogs do destroy more birds tjhee~ are killed by the hunter with his shot gun. He says tha.t it is impossible to' raise successfully pea fo~wls or gum as; because about the time that the good hoiusewife gets the ntest made, a stray dog comes along and destroys all of the eggs. There' can be little dobt that we have too many dogs in this country, and if we could de vise some plan to get rid of some of them, at least, we would be better STAND TOGETHEE If clearing house certificates would relieve any community then that com munity ought to issue clearing house certifiates. Farnmers and merchants can hellp by depositinlg mtoney in banks and they ought to go this. Ev ery little helps. The idea is to keep up the price of cotton, keep wages fair and keep goods moving in the stores. We can do .all these for our selves. We used to think that some body from afar had to come with the money to build a cotton mill for us. Now we know we can build one our selves when we try. So, we can help ourselves in money matters if we try. The banks must 'help the farmer. mer chant and mechanic and these in t.urn must deposit their money in the banks. It's the old story of tire stomach and the members. If each helps the other all round we will all ome out all right.--Greenlville News. The above from the Greenville News is very true and along the same ine that we tried to impress upon our people in Tuesday's paper. Every body who has money and who does not need it for immediate use should deposit it in banks. If all the money that is withdrawn from circulation, eevn in small quanities5 in this com munity, was taken fromr the pockets of those wiho have it, and placed in binks it would add very materially to the amount of currency and would t.us be put in circulation and at the same time be Verfectly secure and safe, nd could 'be obtained for use when needed. There can be no doubt tha't anything that the merchant or he hanker, or any other business mn. can do to aid the farmer in se eri a b)etter price for his cotton, wilhl everybody not onily in the sot h ut :brougmhout the country. \e cannot help believing tha t the peeset panicky condition of the money market has been 'brought about largely by the specula;tors in New York, who are trying to bear down thc cotton market.
