We'had no intention of what we said
about the auditor's office being construed
as a critcism of the Observer
for printing the rumor. As we saw
it, it was so absolutely without foundation
in fact and we could not understand
w y it should be noticed.
i
Senator Mc!,aurin announces the arrangements
he has made for obtaining
money on warehouse receipts for,
cotton. It up to the banks now to take
the wareliou.se receipts and got some
I
money. It seems to us, "however, that:
I
under this plan the amount actually
I
loaned on the coton will be only about
four cents the pound but toe interest j
rate is low.
?w
41Wf.:at will the iSouthern banks do?"
That is the question Mr. McLaurin
asks. Read his f^-atement. It takes
.'considerable space but it is the dope
we want now. According to this statement
the situation is squarely up to
the Southern banks. Will they come
to ti e rescue and save the boutn. we j
believe they will do all they can, but
we will see.
Arrangements are made to send a
solid shipload ':rom Soutft. Carolina,
the ship to sail from Charleston in
January, to the relief of the Belgians.
That is the proper spirit, but we
should not forget the needy at our
very doors. It was stated in The State
the other morning t':at were a 1,000
skilled workmen out of employment
in the small city of Columbia. And
the winter has not begun.
They will need work or ftelp or
both.
Under the postal laws and regulations
the government hauled 15
pounds of printed matter to Columbia
for us at t'he cost of 19 cents and
charged us 20 cents to l^ul 40 ounces
to Prosperity. A po?taI employee sail
the other day that, the rate and the
classification had all been worked out
by an expert and t'.:ere was a reason for
it. There may be. If we !'ad put 24
ounces o sand in the ot'.:er package
so tftat it would ha^e weighed four
pounds the rate to Prosperity would
have been seven cents. No doubt
frere is a reason.
S.UIE OLD STORY.
In looking over the files of T e
Herald and News the other day we
came across a very fine (excuse us)
editorial in the issue of January 10.
1905, on the subject "Hold and Plant
Less," in whicta \e urged the farmers
to hold their cotton and plant less.
And t'nen coming on to the issue of
January 27 we find that we are reioicins:
that the coton convention held i
in New Orleans had adopted our suggestion
and passed resolutions urging
the farmers to do that very thing. And
then in February we find that the farmers
&' Newberry in convention assembled
passed a resolution which
reads as follows: "Resolved, T.iai
any farmer who does not at present
nlont niAro ton optoc tn tho mulo
may be considered as complying with
tfiie spirit of the New Orleans plan
and is eligible to membership." Tuis
is membership in the convention. Same
old acreage reduction idea.
Here is what we said on April 7,
1905. on t!':e cotton situation:
"The solution of this whole matter,
however, is easy and could be taken
advantage of by every planter in this
section of the cotton belt. It is tine
only plan that will give permanent
relief and make the farmer independent.
The Herald and News has
preached it for 20 years and the more
we think of it the stronger becomes or
conviction of its efficacy. It is simple.
It is this: Plant and grow on the
farm all the supplies you need and
then grow all the cotton you can
regardless of the price and you will
soon become an independent farmer.
Until yo i do this you will never ma^
any money farming even if the price
of cotton goes beyond ten cents."
It v>as true then. It is true now.
I: the farmer had done this then and
kept it up there would be no use of

"The >aked Truth/'
Lyda Borelli, t'.ie ceiebrated European
actress who is playing the lead
in George Kleine's new five-part motion
picture subject, "The Naked
Truth," wl.ich will he the attraction
at the Opera House on Tuesday, December
15th, is one of the best known
actresses on the European stage. That
she is not better known in America is
largely a question of her age, or .".Viiss j
Borelli is just out of her teens. Her j
success in London, Paris, Vienna and |
Rome has been phenomenally rapid
and is being compared witto the sud-'
den rise to fame of Sa^ah Bernhardt j
w-r.en mai iaiuous u espian nuu iain>
reached her stride a generation ago. |
Miss Borelli is unquestionably the '
highest paid access in motion pictures.
For her work in "Th^ Naked
Truth" .Miss Borelli uas paid 100,000;
francos or $20,000, in addition to which
she received an interest in tv.e profits
of the film. Incidentally, she demanded
considerations other ti an those monetary
to at seriously interfere wi th the |
exploitation of the film in .'Europe and j
would not be tolerated for a moment'
by any film for a star o>f less consequence.
In her contract, Miss Bor-1
elli succeeded in getting the manufac- ,
turer's consent never to rent the film ;
to a theatre in a city where she is j
playing at the time. "When it is ,un- i
derstood that a manufacturer usually i
sells his film outright to anexd .ange j
or renting company and thereafter los- j
es all track of it. the troublesome .- j '
ture of such a clause is apparent.;

Porelli is so hedged about with con- 1
