.t. AtJLL, EDITO. Enteea at the Fos.t.fi;ce at New 6:rrY. S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, November 19, 1907. If thei-e is one vital fact the pres ent financial and commercial situa tion has emphasized, it is the envia ble position of the independent far mer. No more forceful nor inspiring ob ject lesson is available for impress ing the truth so often reiterated by the Constitution. The man who is serene and unmoved in the face of price fluctuations and market depres sions is the man who lives at home; the farmer who raises his own hog and hominy; the farmer with corn in his crib and hay in his barn loft; the farmer who is free from debt and with home supplies to fall back up on, can snap his finger speculators and look with indifference even up on fincancial whirlwind,s. On the other hand, the farmer who has placed. himself at the mercy of his creditors by indifference or care lessness in raising supplies for man and beast is just now in a rather awkward predicament. He has com plicated the situation. He has, by adding the burden of his distressed cotton, probably pledged in advance, made more difficult the program of the southern cotton growers. The Farmers' Union is not urging such members to hold their cottoa when practically the entire proceeds are due on debts. It is urgingt.those who can do so to hold. The banks of the south, where possible, are asked tc assist in this program. The. latest of ficial bulletin of the South Carolina branch of the Farmers' Union makes this explanation: '.'We desire to make it plain to all concerned that when we urge farmers to hold their cotton off the market we are talking to that elass of cot. ton growers who are in position tc do so. At the ou'et we urged every farmer to arrange his debts first, as best he could, by stong his cottor * or otherwise, and keep 11l weak cot ton off the market.'' The farmer who is forced to sell a~ 10 cents, when 'by holding he migh' seen,re 15 cents a pound for his cot * ton, is paying a heavy price for hi~ want of preparedness.-Atlanta Con stitution. It is very true that the farmer cai be indeipendent if he will and thi road to that independence is as point ed out by the Constitution and whipl is the same road that has been point ted out by The Herald and News fo: many years. We have so often spok en- along this samie line that we hav, recen'Uys refrained because it has. al most become stereotyped with us. At this time, however, it has seem ed to us- that the fight was beii made on the cotton grower 'by th, money power just to' whip him int< line and we had hoped that thi banks and the merehsats of the souti would strain every point to help th farmer win. It means so much fo every interest in the south that ther should be united 'effort and the onl: way, it seems, to keep the price o cotton from being forced any lowe keep it. off the market.. ?h'e situation does seem to be ano * malous. The country is more pros perous than it has ever been and ye there is a money panic. The bank have plenty money but there is ni .money to move thle cotton. The latest action of the govern ment in ordering another issue o: bonds, it is hoped, will relieve th 'strain and get everything back to normal condition. If the southern cotton grower, how ever, will take warning and here after prepare hiniself for such emer gencies and grow on the farm wha is needed for the farm he will thea be independent, for he will have hi cottoa and the necessaries of life an< with no delbts to annoy him he ca1 * place his price on his cotton and de mand it. The Saluda Standard is very mue] worried because the Edgefield trol ley line scheme is too big to get int the brain of the Standard 's editot and asks many questions in regard t' the proposed line,. andl theu con'lude that there is nothing in the schem but "hot air.'' Says the Standard "One (uton iOB this: b th i. .aie; * line to be built from Edgefield t Greenwood or Newberry, or t Greenwood and Newhberry? If t Greenwood and NewbIerry, why no sav so? And if from EdgteIfeld t fl.eenwo'd, will it coma)e by Saluda ns t w~ lines t0 ( Ireenwood and n to Newberry'? And if' the trend o: 'events should point to such a resul as ths, do the promoters expeet fo0 us to act as if blind to our interest -Ho:1r bri i'. now: D sn't the merest novice know that, with our line to Greenw%od, if the trolley peo ple have an eye to business they will build by Saluda to Newberry, and not to Greenwood ?" To be candid with the Standard, we fail to see why a line to New berry or another line to Greenwood, should hurt Saluda; and to be more frank with the Standard, we are sur prised that any newspaper having the interest of its county at hear should attempt to throw cold water on an undertaking, which, if success ful, could not but beneifit Saluda more than anything else since the county was formed. We agree with the Standard. however, that the pro per line is from Edgefield via Saluda to Newberry, and we don't mind- tell ing the Standard that is the line the people on this side of the river are working for. We Ivant Saluda's helip and Edgefield wants Saluda's help. But, however the line should be built, certainly none of the promo ters, so far as we know or have been able' to learn or believe, would ask that Saluda should be blind to her interests in the railroad from Salu da to Greenwood, or to her obliga tions to it. In this matter, Saluda has every thing to gain and nothing to lose. We want the Standard to put up its little hammer and help build the road from, Edgefield via Saluda to Newberry.' PROCLAMATION.

YEARS OE SUFFERING THEN ROBUST HEALTH. Great Remedy Cured Skin Disease . of Long Standing. SMr. J. Weber, of 1065 Vine street, San Jose, Cal., writes an interesting story of terri-ble skin suffering which ended in robust health 'when he found a remedy which eured him like magic. Here is Mr. We'ber 's own story: ''"In July, 1900, my ~face began to be affected' with a terrible skin dis ease. *I went to a doetor, and he told me that I had been poisoned and he wanted to operate on me. I refused to let him. do so and after a few months m'y face was an- awful sight. You could see that it was diseased to the bone. Some people claimed that I had cancer. Great :boils would ap pear, increasing in size and paining me terribly. I (begun to doctor again but no one could helip me; large pim ples and :boils would continue to come. .At that time I had a.s many as ten on my face. I wase such a ter rible sight that my friends could not bear to see me. I doctored for five years until my funds gave out and I had to stop. During this time I tried over 3Q0 remedies. ''"One day I happened to hear of D. D. D. Prescription and learned that it had cured several bad cases of Ecze ma. I purchased a bottle and then I ot a second bot tie. The use of 'five bottles eured me. It has been eigtht months now and the disease nas not returned. My friends ask what it was tat eured mec of the awful trouble andh I answer that it was D. D. D. which healed me.' We know that every word of t'he above letter is absolutely true. We keep D. D. D. Prescription, the great remedy for eczema, psoriasis. salt flheum,I (andruff. ete.. because all the -ures it has miade appear to be last jing. Come in and talk to us about Ithis remedy. W. G.
