"I elieve Spartanburg is tae most optimistic town in the State as to present conditions."' This statement was maae yesterday oy a visitor in this city who has been over a large part of South Carolina within the last week or ten days. We remarked a few days s^o that Spartanburg had gone through the 1907 panic without knowing there was a panic and we predict the city win weainer xms gaie in goou snape. Tiie merchants tell you in Spartanburg that business is not bad. The farmers of the county in the main are swinging on to their cotton like soldiers and they are not suffering. While the cotton mills of the county are in operation and there is 110 idle population. Seek a carpenter, a painter, or one employed in the build ing trades, and you will find that t'~ev are employed. Indeed there is little reason to le other than optimistic if you live in Spartanburg. With a spirit of cooperation and faith in the future everything is moving along in good shape.?Spartanburg Herald. We believe that what is here stated is true, and wnat is neeoea^q. soutn Carolina and in the South today, as muc'-i as anything else, is a spirit of co-operation and :aith in t'.:e future and more optimism. As we have re marked several times before there must be co-operation of all classes, trades and professions. The farmer must co-onerate with the merchant and the merchant with t'he banker. While the farmer suffers fro-m low price of cotton as a matter of fact he is in better position than a great many other classes of our people, because he has something to eat, and if the cotton is all held off the mar ket the channels or' commerce will be blocked and business will stagnate. ?There is need for co-operation and optimism in times like these. T?e Rome. Georgia, chamber of i commerce at a meeting recently dis- j cussed the question of curtailment ofj the 1915 cotton crop "and it was the I concensus of opinion that the only j medium through which a general cur- j tailment could be effectively accomplished and definite assurance given consumers of a decreased crop next year, was by federal legislation and SUCh legislation ran copuror? nil" - ^ ~ c* i V \a \jxilJ by concerted action of the commercial "bodies of the cotton growing States." This .action uas been communicated to all the commercial bodies in the cotton growing States with the request that they take similar action and let the representatives in congress know what has been rirmp Tf it be assured now that there would be a ^ rtailmen^ in the production of cotton in 1915, the price would immediately advance. The letter sent by the Rome Chamber says: "Federal legislation'taxing all cotton above six bales to the plough, or ot'^er legal restraint of over production is the only actiorMhat will give positive assurance to our consumers of a decreased crop next year, and stimulate our present cotton market/' TV* ?* ' i urr vjiauuouarl Cli * V O., 01 IjVUC'flhurg. Ya.. the well known manufac t.urers of shoes in the South, have written The Herald and News a letter "n which they most heartily' endorse the "Buv-a.Bale" oi" cotton movement and express sympathy for t::e farmers ' nvr?Kor\tfi a!' t V\ A + ^ ^ ^ ~ ? 4iiu lijrn Iip.inn Ul UiC OUUUI auu Ulit'I o co-operate- in the movement to retire from the market the surplus cotton and to.maintain a better price :'or 'he same. Ti.ey are buying five or nore bales in each of the cotton grow'ng States. I:' all of the manufacturers :.nd mail order houses and fertilizer ompanies throughout the country would join this movement to "Buy-a"Sale" at 10 cents and retire it from 'lie market and then congress would "?ass a law putting a prohibitive tax o as to prevent the cotton farmer roni producing another l.">,000,000 balo -rop, the price of cotton would advance at once. Unless, however, some such law is passed by congress the f production of cotton will not b<- n:;<ch reduced another .war. \\> do not know, of course, what the legislature is going to do. but several very drastic measures are to bo proposed. 'P.ese are ex" raordinapy i times and some extraordinary nieasI ures would b. in order. The warehouse bill with proper restrictions will be all right, but for South Carolina alone to undertake to reduce the ac reage in cotton would be a very foolish proposition. If it could be definitely known now that all the cotton growing States would materially reduce the acreage for 1915 the price i would at once go up, but for South 'Carolina alone to cut out cotton ali : together would not affect the price materially. To postpone the payment r>f w/miIH ho mistakp TVlPTP are a number of counties and school ; districts that '"rave bcftidedj indebt! edness and if the interest on these bonds is not met promptly the credit of the counties and the school disj tricts will be impaired. We hope ! whatever is done will be in the inter! est cf all tl:e people. I | We notice that a bill is to be introj duced to provide a bond issue to continue the development of the new aslyum at State Park. This work should not have been stopped. It has ! r-n^r rhp State a good sum to discon tinue t'.e work. The people will not vote a bond issue now for the work, j I At least, we do not think they will. | The legislature could have _made a j small levy each year to continue the j work and it would have been so small ^ j that no one would have lelt the bur-, ! den, and when the institution was! eventually moved to the country the j property in Columbia couM have been ; i -- - - -O..J i sold and rne money reimourseu. nui , ! I J there seemed to be a fear that some j \ one would make money out of t':.e 1 'state property in Columibia. Certainly j | the institution should be speedily rejmovd to the country. We have receied the folk wing announcement: "The Anderson Daily Intelligencer ! wishes to announce that Mr. \V. W. Smoak, who was business manager, I has been chosen editor to succeed Mr. Win. Banks, who resigns to accept an j important position with the State deI partment of agriculture. Mr. Smoak j will also be business manager. This change becomes effective October 1st.'' i We regert that Mr. Banks has de-1 cided to leave the newspaper field in j j which he has labored for so many years, out we nope mai uie i-naugc is . for his welfare and that his work will | be lighter and Ms pay-roll heavier, j i Mr. Banks is a forceful writer and his | i I retirement is a decided loss to the 1 newspaper profession of this State. .. . i President uirren r? speak. i President W.
