A ?? ~ DOLLAR DEMOCRACY. > There are fine chances to elect a Democrat as president but it takes money to conduct a campaign for legitimate expenses. It has been decided by the Democratic party to raise the money by popular subscriptions and every voter is expected to give at least one dollar to this fund. ?' ' That is a very small amount to ask from each one and yet if every or.e would give that amount it would make a pretty big fund and would put the election of Jimmie Cox over the board at the ides of November. Those who can give more should ho o-ln/l to do so to elect a real live ~~ ? wire as president, and that is what the party has in the person of Cox. Newberry has sent in a pretty good quota but there is need for more and Yl' it should be forthcoming without _ more than the mention of the need for the money. Mr. James B. Hunter is the chairman from this county for the collection of this fund for Democracy. If you have not already contributed Just hand him your contribution or send it to him. The women are also collecting motley for this purpose and now that p: they are full fledgecf voters we expect their contributions to be generous. It is improtant to furnish the -wirvrtotr this rmroose and we should * 4UUUVJ r< ^ _ _ give it cheerfully. : AMONG THE SCHOOLS. We have decided to drop in thr issue a department "Among the f Schools" and have given some brief items concerning them. We voulc be glad to have the teachers send i: items, of news concerning thei. schools and;to-encourage the childrer ' - * - -i *? to write Items 01 SCIlUUi news iiyiI IX'-"J , J ' - _V. '$: .their schools. It seems to us tha; ?'/ 'such- exercise .by the children wouk be helplui to them in the matter oi ' writing and if the teachers will on > courage them and help them it wil be good practice in composition. And we would be glad to have the trustees take an interest in this de p-./: partment and we feel sure that wit!' the cooperation of the county super intendent of education this depart f meet can be made of great assistance to the educational betterment of the county as a whole. Let us all co ? ' *' The Newberry and Prosperity roac has had nothing done to it and there does not teem to .be a sound thai makes a noise like anything was go ing to be done; What about gettinr op a fund in the two towns to niakc the road at least respectable am \ ... passable. Will some one citizen take ;Vthe lead? If so the work is done. And w^en is the state highway commission to take over i the read /that was built under the direction oi the state highway department or un: der direction of a government engineer. It does not improve and reall> the people who travel it should sue the state highway department or who ever is responsible for its present condition because before it wac V worked you could go over it in some ? degree of comfort but now the hole: - - \ are so big and deep that it is almost impossible to get along at all. The fields are white with cottor and the farmers should be gathering it while the grade is not impaired by rain and other things. Even a* 25 cents oetter get is picseu smu- i. has been made. We notice that the chain gang is a1 work on the Appalachian highway and we hope the work will be carriec right on to Whitmire and that the force will reach the Enoree before some good citizen is really lost ir the mud on this side the river as yoi; approach the town. And then some of the hills and valleys too betweer Newberry and Whitmire really neec attention. The bridge at Duncans creek helps that part of the rcac" . very much. A good bridge has been erected here which is above high water and the same sort of bridge should <be built at Indian creek and Kings creek. The bridges m tne miter places would have to be longci but then it would serve the people and that is what we are here for and what bridges are built for. Don't forget aboui that dollar foi Democracy and send it along while it may do some good. The party needs it and is looking to the South to furnish a greater part of it or of the dollars. It is said now that a pretty heavy fro*t ajgp ?o ontlf Ugy jtiic -> / 11 .-.w. ? .-^r~ weather will be fine until after | Christmas and will give the farmer : ample time and weather and what ! not to plant a lot of grain and foot: i 'stuff. I COTTON. ! The price of cotton seems to cor:-; I tinue downward. The fight is on j ' and it does seem that it is a fearful! and desperate effort to force th?; j grower to sell. The thing: to do is t'.> j ' put your cotton in the warehouse rsk! j ; use the rcveint to pav vuur obl;^-' ( % " ; tions if you have any, and then iueL' , sit steady and prepare to plant bi;r j i food crops the next year and no cot-j ton at all if the price remains below i i the cost of production, and when it> ; gets to the point where it is profit?.bl:1 ; to grow it then plant some more cot-; ton. ) I ; It is impossible to continue to j , work for less than it costs you t) j ! make cotton. If you do then you are j 1 obliged to take some of what you j | make on something else with which1 ! to make up the deficit, and what is1 the use. i { No use to hold and warehouse if i you are going right along to make J more cotton below the cost of pre- i Eduction. Let that be understood) j among those who are holding the cot-; ; ton that unless the price gets where : A * "* * * n ! ! it is prontaoie to grow It, Hie aiav. unv | j planted will be cut so that there will j : not be an overproduction, if that is, the case now, but it matters net what the reason if you know it cos-si more to produce cotton than you rc. ceive at the present prices, quit pio: ducing. > That is all. I 1 ; This matter of reducing the price of autos and 20 per cent, on goods Idoes not mean anything to the men, } who has produced cotton, and bc: sides We can not get rid of the idea that even 20 per cent, on me cu~, v. cloth does not leave a good p.-cflt ? even at cotton selling for 40 cents J the pound. But the thing just new :, is to warehouse and use the w.irc: house receipt to discharge obiigr.> j tions already made and hold on to : the cotton, but pay your obligations . ' so that the channels of commerce will . not be blocked and the men whoL. helped you to make the cotton will .' not suffer. That is the way it pears to us. . <$> $> <$' <?><?> <$> <?> <$> <?* <J> $> ? ?> V <?> v '' :> AMONG THE SCHOOLS '<$> & <$> <;k v?> -? %}> <$> *^> <?> < - < > <$ <?- v "? | Fomaria. . j The Pomaria school has been - u:>ning now for about two weeks.

The next article provides that the | court shall have jurisdiction to try cases of a legal nature concerning the j interpretation of treaties, questions ; j of international law, breaches of in1 j ternational obligation and reparation I j for such breaches. The question arises, where is Senator Harding to insert his "teeth" ' into this court if we have not the league of nations? Shall the court ' itself have power to force nations to ' submit their cases to it, and how is ': it going to enforce its decrees?
