Abbeville an Greenwod are still alive and Lauren e is moving. And Newberry "wa still born in the hands of ninetee. physicians." Too many cooks some times spoil the broth. But what has become of our com mittee from the chamber of com merce. Was it ever born at all ? There are some two or three doz en, more or less, organization amongst the women of this commun ity. We have an idea if these womei could be induced to take hold of thi matter that the hospital would b built. We hate to see any movemen - start out with the assurance of sue cess which seemed to be the cas4 with the hospital movement an< then to be told by a member of thi committee who had the matter ii charge and who had accepted th, trust that the movement was stil born in the hands of the ninetee3 physicians <f this county, and ther was not a physician on the commit tee either. What about the commit tee? Is it "still born" also ? Newberry should have a hospital It can be built. Will the women. un dertake it? They can raise thi money, from the men of course, an< what more humanitarian or blesse< work could engage their time and at tention? Would the committee i] charge be willing to turn the mat ter over to the women, or do the: have hopes of doing something them selves. It is too bad for Newberr: to go to the world with acknowledg ment of failure in so good a cause It is not to our credit. OLD SOLDIERS HOME. Somebody is always- wanting t< banish the old soldiers from thei: *homes and their kindred to pen then *up in a "soldier's home.'' We don' nepd a soldier's home. It woald b a costly experiment which would no bring the desired result, namely - greater comfort for those poor o: disabled soldiers who went to batti forty-seven years ago. If there i an old soldier who lacks the neces sary things of life, give him th money and let him buy what h wants, and let him stay with hi ki~ndred. Nothing could be mor cruel than to take an old soldiei- s, far from home that he could see hi people no mora.-Abbeville Press ani Banner. We entirely agree wilth the Pres and Banner. We .had not lieard o the soldiers home idea for some tim and really did not know that any on was now seriously considering th proposition. There are cases, how~ ever, where the old soldier shoul< have more than he now gets an. some ne doubt receive pensiions wh * are not reallyv in need of the smal aid given by the state. Our idea is to levy a one mill ta: for pensions and let it be distribui ed under our .. present pension las but give to the board in each count; the amount that is raised in tha coun'ty and in nearly all of them i the rolls were carefully made uj there would be a surplus which couli be used to aid further the mor needy. In many of the counties nos there is an additional pension fun< distributed which in some cases i raised from the ordinary count; fund or from a speci4i levy for tha -purpose.' But it is evident that there is n neeissity for an old soldiers home. The Columbia Chamber of Comn merce has appropriated $5,000 fo advertising the city and for en.ter taining visitors. This body has good live secretary which is mor importan~t than a big appropriation though the money will come i handy and will be well invested. Greenwood Index. A good live secretary is a sine qui non to a live chamber of commerec in any community. A little mone: spent for advertising is a good thin; also. A secretary needs some mone: at his disposal for advertising an< for other work. The smallest par of his duties should be to keep a re cord of the meetings. But there are all sorts of ideas a to theC obet of ai cha~mber 'f * merce and the work to be done. A MESSAGE TO THE FARMERS The Mail. of Anderson. S. C.. ii an article discussing finan ces, busi nes and crops, makes the followi.M poi:ted O)serVatio ns "And speakin- about holdi'n, cot ton, we believe it is one of the first prindiples of the ia:mers' Uni:)n - which is back of the movement, that the man who holds his cotton for _ better prices must first of all take care of his obligations. This the farmers must do if they want to re tain public sympathy in the fight ? they are making. If a farmer has 1. made debts due on the first of No : vember, or on any other day, he s should arrange for the payment of a those debts if it is in his power to a do so. If he wants to hold his et - - ton that is his privilege, but he should by all means pay his debts . while he is doing it. Holding cotton - is important, but the preservation of honor and one's good name is more impo -. ' ' Commenting on the Mail's re marks. the Greenville News =avs: "Our contemporary boids a cor rect view of it. A farmer who owes e noney to a merchant should not spe cuiate on the cotton whieh he has to sell without first getting .e consent of the man towhomhe is indebted. In a majority of cases the merchant stands ready and willink to assist the farmer in every way possible !o hold up the price of cotton, but the mer chant is entitled to. the privilege of a say-so in the matter. Yes, 'hold ir ecoton is important, but the pres ervation of honor and one's good name is more important.''" By all means let the farmer meet his obligations promptly to the coun try merchant in order that the coun try merchant may pay the manufac t.urer and the jobbeL: and the manu fie -e: and jobber -i7 ire Snnt:.r: banker; and the Southern banker pay his obligations to his Northera correspondents, thereby preserving the high credit that the south has al ways maintained in order that credit may be freely extended in turn to - the Southern- farmer, merchant and manufacturer next spring to carry on - the good work of development. Richmond, Va., Times-Despateh. Of course. it has been understood all the time as the policy of the Far mers' Union that no farmer was ad Svised to hold cotton if he owed the e merchant or the bank unless first 1 arrangements with the merchant or t making satisfactory arrangements a with the merehant or bank t er. As a rule it is not a good1 ; policy to store or hold cotton when - you owe money but if one desires to e do so he should first arrange satis s factorily with those whom he owes - and who have accommodated him. e First because it is right and honor-* Buy Your chr The Sn Grocery They are Hee Christme ~WE CAN FILL YOUR OHRIST I MAS WANTS THIS YEAR BET STE~R THAN EVER.

Now that cotton is above 11 cents those who owe the merchant or the bank or others should turn some cotton loose and thus assist in easing up the sit uation. We still believe. however, that those who can should hold for the price is going higher and even to fif teen cents. The only way to force it there is to hold off the market all the cotton you can but -as far as pos silble pay those you owe so they may pay others and in this way cireula tion will start and that means life in business as well as in other things. The county dispensary board of Aiken county propose to consider the advisability of establishing a dispen sary in North Augusta which i. just across the river from Augusta on the South Carolina side. Georgia will have prohibition after the first of January and no doubt from a money stand point it would be good busi ness judgment to establish a dispen sary in North Augusta' but if the purpose of the dispensary system is to regulate and control the whiskey traffic and thus reduce the consump tion it would not be well to establish the North Augusta dispensary The indications now point very strongly to state prohibition for South Carolina. According to the Anderson Intelli gencer, only the streets on which al dermen live are desirable to prospec tive purchasers, and there is slight dissatisfaction thereat on the. part of eitigens having their washing done elsewhere. These good citizens fret themselves unwisely. Let the work of improvement go ahead, and next election, put in aldermen who live on unimproved streets. Thus will a little leaven leaven the whole lump, in time. This suggestion is not copy righted.-Greenwood Index. As the suggestion is not copyright ed we pas it on to the- aldermen.in Newberry. What we want and what we have been trying to get is some good streets and sidewalks at any old place in the city, whether they led by the home of an alderman or not. Our aldermen have not ,caught o to the idea even of building their own, streets. If so we have failed to ob serve it. We simply go on wading through the mud and stumibling over the ditehes.

Several seni-weeklies use them, but the Jour- t aal and Index are the first weeklies I to have the necessary nerve to put in sI type-setting machines. We congra- n tulate these contemporaries, and hope to follow their example in the next tl few months. Fact is, we signed a b contract for a machine more than two years ago, but our present h building was too small, so we post- S( poned the purchase. We are now m erecting what we hope will be a nice p1 office, and we expect to put in a lino- b type in the next few months, also a tl folder, and some other new machin- T ery.-Bamberg Herald. b; The machine is a good thing if you have sufficient composition to keep n it busy, but the interest on the in- t( vestment will be about equal to the ti pay of one printer and the purchase of repairs and parts almost equal to w another and your machinist operator m will cost you as much as about two cl other printers. But with a good . tl operator and proper care of the ma- S< chine you can turp out long strings. t We have doubted whether it would a' pay the weekly paper to put in a ma- e chine unless the editor or proprietor ' fitted himself to operate and care ei for it. It gives one that helpless " feeling to be entirely at the mercy of the machinist operator. However, we do not see how we could ever again get along without one,,and we congratulate our cotem pararies and hope they may find the change to their advantage. 5.
