One insutticiently considered result of the good prices for cotton obtained during recent years is a inucli higher capitalization of land and consequent pressure for earning inlcresl on greater investment values. In this connection some interesting faols are point("I out by ti. Wall Street dournal. During iaust I crop yeecs l'-e average export price of cotton was HUi I cents. The average export price fori the four years immediately preceding w as S.i, i i 111>. I hiriic.: the fouryear period jtisi closed." says our financial contemporarx in commenting upon these tigurcs, "there has heen a very general haying of cotton , lands with the surplus derived from higher cotton profits/.. This has raised the value of cotton lainl.> to a figure far above ilic value of < arlicr years of the present decadc. Much of the col to.i now selling for I" nis has heeii grown on these higher-priced lands. As long as coi'ton prices remain on the 10cent level, things may go on smoothly enoagh under thi* high eapilali/.ation id' land. Hut it' cotton should decline to S or even ! cents a pound, (lie harden of earning i.itesest would he considerably enhanced." This statement, presents an excellent reason wh\ cotton prices ! which would <1111 e hav e been consider-I ed rather hi\:h ?an no |i>ni:er hi term ! ed in 11 < -1 - a i.ivc 1? \\. ( ottou lands, j moreover, have risen no| only bccanse coitoii itself was higher but to keep pace with a rising general price level. Included ill this higher level are labor, farm supplies, and nearly everything else for which the grower must pay. The growing ol cotton costs more in every way than heretofore, ami the southern grower does well when he seeks to govern his sell ing accordingly.- - Charlotte Observer, i It is a fact that we sometimes overlook 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 proportion 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 clothing ami provisions is considered. .The farmer needs now more than ever to grow on the farm the things needed for the farm. 11 he d< c> >' when he comes to draw his balance i at the end of the year he will find j himself in worse condition than when cotton was much lower than it is now. Mr. Martin takes a lick at Senator Latimer and (low Ansel with the same blow, lie will put some life in the senatorial campaign. Our primary for mayor and aldermen of this town is now about ten days off. It is very important that we should put full grown men in office. men who are in touch with the spirit of the age ami the progress of the times if we expect to remain ill the proi ession. Head the little article i.i another column under the query, "Shall these orphans have a thanksgiving ?" and if you are a father or a mother or ever if you have a heart that beats like a human heart should beat and you will be touched. If yon are and you have prospered or even if your life ami health have been spared to your family yo uwill touch your pocket and send something to Dr. -Jacobs at Clinton before \oii lay the paper down. l\Yad the story of the little girl who is labeled and has a ticket for Clinton and the gladness and sunshine and hope which come to her soul from tdie home like surroundings into which she is soon made to feel that she is one of the family and if you have a heart it must be touched. Dr. .Jacobs has done and is doing a great work at Clinton. What greater work could engage the attention of any one than to care for the fatherless and load theiu and show tiiein (he right path. Street and sidewalk improvement should be the slogan of the administration of city ol fairs by the administration which is soon to bo elected. We have grown jusi as big as we can until we begin to make some improvements along these lines. We waul those improvements to be of a permanent character. We need lo get rid of the nnuldv streets and sidewalks. %%\ , "" f A iikkiiiM i -i i : k IN A BALLOON.

Mr. Sea'brook gave a vivid description of h> w it 1'eel.s to be five hundred feel above ground in a balloon, and to descend in a parachute and land in a swamp two feet deep in mud. Mr. Sea'brook, since going to Augusta, has been quite successful in liis chosen profession of journalism. The I Herald and News f tie Is some pride in Iris success; for the reason tiial he received liis lirsl training and had his lirsl experience as a newspaper reporter in our ollicc.

TIIE GAME LAW. The Herald and News a few days ago published I he game law. It will lie recalled Inal in Ibis county it is 11111 \\ I'i I lo kill prat ridge or quail 111111 >! i ? l.'iiu of November. In I In* counties surrounding us. namely, Saluda, I ,e.\iiigton, and Kaii'lieM, (lie open season begins on the lirsl of November. T'he hunters have, however, as a rule paid very little attention to (he law; and we are informed that a ureal many people have been shooting quail since (he lirsl of November. A gentleman of this county, who does a good deal id liuillillg during I lie seas.1.1, suggested I lie oilier day 111 a I there was a greater enemy lo (lie '. ame ..I' this eoiniirv lhan llie liun I? i* a ml I lie -hotguii. and llial cue 111 \ w a> the do'.:, lie ii<sis|> thai all do'.'s should be kepi up, like eallle and hogs, d it ring (he closed season", for I lie tea sou Dial tliev deslroy llie young birds. We do lift i. i<>\\ just Ih \\ he could accomplish his purpose, unless it was made law ful lo kill every dog on sight that was seen roaming al large. And if thai were done, we would soon exterminate I he race of dogs in Ihis country. There can be liltle doubt however, that he is correct, i.i that the dogs do deslroy more birds than are killed by the hunter with his shotgun. He says that it is impossible to raise successfully pea fowls or guineas; because about Ihe time that llie piod housewife nets Ihe ties! made, a stray dog comes along and destroys all of the eggs. There can be lillle ilouhi that we have loo many dogs in litis country, and if we could d.1vi>e some plan lo uel rid ol some ol tlieni, til least, we would be heller olV. STAND TOGETHER. If clearing house certificates would relieve any community then that community ought to issue cleanup; house cerlilicates. Kanniers and mercbiinls can Itqlp by depositing nifcuiey in hanks a.id lhey ought lo do Ihis. 1'verv little helps. The idea is to keep up the price of cotton, keep wanes fair ami keep g'oods moving in the stores. We can do all these for ourselves. We used lo think that somebody from afar had to come with the money lo build a cot-ton mill lor us. j Now we know we can build one ourselves when we try. So we can help ourselves in money mailers il we try. 'flie banks must help the fanner, merchant ami mechanic and these in 1 urn must deposit llieir money in the banks. It's the old story of lire stomach and the members. If each helps the other all round we will all conic out all right. Greenville News. flie above I roin Ihe Givcnville News is very true and alonvr Ihe same line that we tried to impress upon our people iu Tuesday's paper. Everybody who has money und who does not need il for immediate use should deposit it in banks. If all the money j that is withdrawn from circulation, even in small quauilies in this community, w;is taken I rotn the pockets of those Who have it. ami placed iu banks, il would add very materially to the amount of currency and would ; 111u- be put in circulation and at the same lime be "iierleclly secure and safe, and could'-be obtained lor use when needed. There can be no doubt that anything that the tnercha.il or I llie hanker, or any other business man. can do to aid the fanner in sej curing a heller price lor his cotton, i will help everybody not oiil_\ i.i the -so i i J11 but . Ii roughoii I the country. We cannot help believing thai- the present panicky condition of the money market bus been brought about largely by the speculators i.i New York, who are Irving to hear down the col Ion market. This is a time when everybody should work together land give his influence and his assistanec in helping lo relieve the situa; lion. To the Fanners.
