The Herald and News today car ries an advertisement from Mr. H. O Long as president of the Xewberr Cotton Holding corporation caliir.j attention to the crisis which at thi: time confronts the cotton producer This corporation has been organize! ?i a:?T?? lor tne immediate <tuu uncut unic fit of the cotton producer, and wha benefits him will benefit every in terest in this section, and it shoul< take no argument to demonstrate t the people of Newberry county th . importance of subscribing immediate ly the amount that is desired to per feet this organization. Unless the producer does do some thing in his own behalf there will b ? financial crisis in this country be fore many moons. Now is the tini to act, and, as Mr. Long points out only a small portion of the mone invested in oil and other stocks b; the people ~f Newberry would as sure the amount that is needed t complete +his organization and plac it where it could be a power at th: time. And we would not be undei stood as saying anything against th investments in oil stocks because w do not know anything about then: and some of them are "no doubt goo investments, but the people who hav put money in these stocks could ver easily and should readily come to th aid of this corporation, because if th present crop of cotton has to be sol. at .prevailing prices the country wi" go bankrupt sure enough. It will nc be a make believe but it will be ; * real fact. ^ T I SMT. W suar JLiUlig uoo uccn ucoif nated to make the campaign of thi county to canvass for the balance o the stock required, to enable this coi t poration to establish the necessar warehouses for the cotton, and als ? t- A v.%At?

But in 01 der to do this it is necessary to hav * the money. It is desired just now t raise $100,000 and that should b .easy enough, ^and we believe that f i will be done before the end of th week. Mr. Oscar Long will make . thorough canvas of each township i the county and will draft two me or more from each township to as sist him in the work. He started ou Monday and hopes to complete th work by the end of the week. Th company has already been organize and has purchased the Farmers ware house at Newberry and will desir to build other warehouses in dii ferent sections of .the county. An then it will take some capital tc pui chase and hold the distress cotton. The organization should be a goo investment for money, and at th same time be a great help to get fc the producer a living price for h cotton. The shares have been mad Small so that every grower of eve one bale of cotton cculd take at leas one share. New is the time to ac' In fact it should have been don sooner. , ' Had you ever thought of the pres ent condition.". They tell us there i no market at present for your cotto at any price. Can you recall th time when if you had a bale of col ton you could not bring it to tow and sell it at some price for the cas? They tell us now that there is absc lutely no market for your cotton a any price. mm AS TO ROADS. We- heard iust a little of the con ference between the county commis sioners and the representatives o the state highway department on Sat nrday. As we understood the p?*op.c sition it is to build the link from Lit tie Mountain to the Lexington lin? and that the funds mentioned are tbe the part furnished by the high 'way department and just where th\ funds to be furnished by the count} are to come from we do not know hut iust sn thpv rnmp and the roat < is built is the main thing. It is proposed to relocate thi road from Little Mountain to ; point at Ballentine and to cross th' railroad at this place on an over head bridge so that ail grade- cross ,T.:n ?: 4~.i TU,\- . win uc cuinmaccu. i uio * proper move. And the big hills be tween Little Mountain and Chaph are also to be eliminated by the relocation. And as soon as this roat is ready it will be taken over ar.< maintained by the state. The road from Prosperity all th< way to Kinards is in very good con dition and most of it the proper wi lt] and with some grading it seems to u: . could meet the requirements, am ?? ?a? i ii in i ami ggoBB?i ?m a* then we would have a through roac >and would be relieved of mainte nance. It seems to us that it wou!< be economy to put it in shape.

We were gla(" to have a call from these yor.n; ladies on Saturday. The two fror A.bbev:lle are granddaughters of Mr. CJibert, who was school commissione of Abbeville when the editor wen' ;here as a young school teacher, and he issued our first certificate which xave the right to teach in the publi: schools of the state, and we ware Tlad to learn that Mr. Gibert is living and enjoying good health r.r.C we expcet to make him a visit before long. It brings up pleasant memo.ie: }f the long ago and we thar.k th? V'oung ladies for calling to see us an ' for the kind invitation to visit the' lome in. Abbeville. There is an old Chinese proverb | vhich runs something like this: "Better to do a *k>od deed near home thai: ;o go far away to burn incense."

Brown, chief of ru> * T veys and pJans ana ;ur. ju. r.i. Weiseges of the state highway d~lartment met with the supervisor and county commissioners on Sa'.uv'ay to talk over the road situation n Newberry county. Mr. Brown stated that the fv.nc'c low available for use in Newberry .ounty amount approximately to: Federal aid $50,00) Automobile license 8,00) Two mills tax 16,00) Total $74,50 ) It was decided that with these .'unds the county would undertv.ks ,wo projects. First, build the two miles of .roan between Little Mountain and the I.c::ngton line. Lexington county has igreed to build her part of the P'ednont highway and Richland is prepared to put her section in condition. It is expected that some ar-angements will be made to get lh:wo miles that are in the incorI -iorate limits of Little Mountain put n condition. When this work is j -ompleted which shfculd be very sjc i ! he state highway commission will ake over this road from Prosperity o Columbia and maintain it in first lass condition and the county will lave no more expense on the read. rt wouid take very little work ccm)aratively speaking to put the entire oad from Prosperity to the Laurer.n line in good condition, certainly as ?ood as part of the new road from Prosperity to Little Mountain, and ? lilra fi\ r.on tlio vnnfi from V U WUUIU JL JL ovy OV.W w? w ? v?v. the Lexington line to the LaurSns 'ine turned over to the state highway commission for maintenance. Second, the 6ounty will build the eight miles )f road to the Saluda river by Deadfall. Supervisor Sample ?ays he will complete this road before his term expires in January. .A start must be made and The Herald and News is pleased that something i? going to take piace at once. We would like to see the Pied-! mont completed to Kinards so that th" commission could take it over L naintenance and then we would j like to see the road to Whit-mire put ' ? 1 l in condition for acccptance ana re;u- j !y it is the most important of all because it is really in the worst condi-1 tion of any of the proposed roads, j but as soon as we get some of them j off hands it will save further expense i by the county.

They have said for many weeks of 1 the new King Vidor production, "Thp ^ Jack-Knife Man," which opened yes| terday for a week's run at the Strand theater, that it would be one of the most talked of pictures, from * the human standpoint, seen in New York for a long time.

' > tl,? | house beginning inursuay. iiiu wiu- duction has been made by Scree::- i Classics, Inc., from the big Broadway stage success by Frederic and ' Fanny Hatton, which was produced by Oliver Morosco. The action of the play takes place ' in and about the homes of wealthy < society leaders in New York city and in the studios of those who are more < interested in art for the sake of diversion than for itself. A magnifii cent divorce court scene with its set ting and action carried through- ir. satirical vein is one of the earlier and most amusing scenes of the produc! tion. J The play is said to give May Allij son a chance to appear to the greatest advantage. In the character of Kathleen Rutherford, a young society woman, she is sought by a wealthy bounder of society and s young Kentucky mine owner. She | understands the one but does not love him; the other is from a world that is strange to her and the romance that results is tense and absorbing. ?tq? !<$> <$ (<$> Things We Don't Understand? <? !<?> <* I \-V XJ' XJ' v' V V V V v ~ I One of the thing?, we do not un ! derstar.d is how, why, what.

When in the Argvle hotel, Charles-' i on, 1 met up with a sailor who had j risited seme of our foreign ports. Hi.- | 1 ;old me he had taken part in the j word dance and in other square; lances while in Scotland. He said j ie enjoyed them much.

Dressed with no sleeves, no shoui Ict Dands to keep the garments up, so :he front part of the body is fully i jxposed; the skirts are short, the lose transparent, with low quarter slippers. It seems the women of the present age have gone as far as the police courts will allow. If one would see the fruits of thir: kind of thing, visit the death bed. ?oung says: "Men may live fcols. but fools they shall not die." I stood by one of these society women as she :ried out, "This is hell upon earth. With all those who are concerned about this, and desire to know the results of this, read Isaiah 3:16-23.

There are professed Christians who are gpilty of the rankest kino of hypocrisy when they use the fourth petition of the Lord's prayer. We are not taught to ask for bread as though it made no difference where it came "?-e - - . . . , from, nor for bread that oeiongs tc another, but for that which we may claim as ours, that is which we have acquired as the result of our labor and honesty. We say, "Give us out daily bread." In these days wher many are suddenly acquiring wealt] i by spec-uijjg^n and "profiteering,' j there is much bread berng eaten b; Ihose to wTfom it does not honestly j belong. It , is a day of trickery anc j exhorbitantf profits. It can not be j denied that-:there is too much, of this :n the business life of today. Sue! practices are not only inconsisten' with the sincere use of the Lord'; i prayer, but they are violations 01 the eighth commandment, which forbids whatsoever doth, or may, unjustly hinder our own or our neighbor's wealth or outward estate. Whenever we dishonestly, or by ex horbitant profits, acquire what be-' . longs to another, we are to that ex- j Lent hindering his wealth or outward estate, we are violating the eighth j rinrl v.-t. linV'A rtO hllSl- i anu .. N- .~ ness with the Lord's prayer. We ( oolitely call it "profiteering," bur it j s nothing short of stealing. A fear- r ful reckoning awajts many of those i who are prominent in business life in ( this generation. ^ ^ Subscribe to The Herald and New? $2.00 a year. . CITY SCHOOLS BEGIN WEEK 1 MONDAY.
