The legislature adjourned on Sun-1 day morning about 8 o'clock. OUTLOOK FOR COTTON. Mr. Barnard M. Baruch, a lioted financier who spoke in Columbia the' other day, is quoted as giving two things upon which the price of cotton will depend. He says: "What is the outlook for cotton? Well, the price' depends upon two things. One is the size of the next crop. The other is the time that passes before America gets in and helps straighten out the' affair of the world. "If America had taken her proper . place in 1919, the south today would be the most prosperous part of this country. "As to the present situation, the solution rests with the individual.' | Legislation can bring but little relief. Some of us?most of us?lived exl travagantly during the extremely prosperous years.- Now the time for reckless extravagance has passed." i Mr. Baruch is about correct. The time is not yet here for the application of the first remedy suggested. The cotton farmer would be very ^AAlioVi f A nlonf a kin? AV*AT\ TIT A Ar< IV pUAXI O Cv JL/ig TT C UU t not believe it is going to be planted. We have all the while thought the second remedy he suggested was the main cause of the low price. The world i^eeds what we have and would be glad to pay a good price for it, if it had the money, and we should be able to give those who want and need what we have grown the opportunity to get it. We can not understand; now there can be an overproduction j of anything to eat or to wear so long as a great part of the world is starving and naked and is calling for help from us. Why not give them an opportunity to go to work and buy what Tfe have and get in position to pay for it And he is correct also in the statement that all. of us spent too freely when the spending was good. We never dreamed that the deflation was wmiinc Rfi sftftn Jmri an stuMatiIv Thp south could have been independent if we had only Conserved our resources and paid our debts when the paying was good and ?asy. But we didn't,, $n<T the wily thing left now is to go j to work and be happy and make the, most of tKe conditions, because they could be a great deal worse than they ?re. The cut out is still in evidence. Evea if vour hearing is defective ? ?\ ? thert is no trouble in getting the wave sounds from it. Mayor Blease suggested that he would see that th^ violators of this ordinance would be dealt with according to law if those -vjjho heard the sweet sound ff-om this musical instrument would become public informers and produce the evidence, but several citizens have said, I to us that they did not think the prop- j osition of the mayor was a fair one.1 Very few people care to become public prosecutors when there are per sons regularly employed and paid for that purpose, and besides the individual would not fall out with the officer, of the law if he should prosecute for, violation, while he would with the individual citizen. Better take our suggestion and repeal the ordinance so. that we could have fewer infractions. of the law in the city, and thus be-( come to that extent a more law abid-. ing community. ^he cut out is such a useless musi-j; cal instrument that we had hoped that the drivers of cars would take our suggestion and cut it out. But| then they do not. Maybe they have ( not seen the suggestion. & ? ^ * *\ <* AMONG THE SCHOOLS <&! . . <5 | i Teachers Meeting I did not -mention the last meeting! of the .teachers association, but it was, - i A Convenient Place to do yoiir Grocery Shopping on Main Street | I KING'S KASH AND (CARRY GROCERY iBHHBBHHHB I not because it was not an interesting J and helpful meeting, but somehow | I just had so much to do that I could j not get to it. I regret that there J were not more teachers present. Miss Chauncey Blackburn gave one of the most interesting and instructive talks that I have ever heard, and it would j 1 i_ 7 1 ^ a _ x 1 ! nave oeen neipiui xo every teacnei j to have heard her. I hope she may j find time to come back some time ; when we can have more of the teach- j ers present. | The next meeting of the associa-j tion will be held on the fourth Satar- j day in March and I hope to gc;: the! committee to have an interesting pro- j gram and that every teacher in the j county will make an effort to be pres-1 ent. We do not hold the meeting ov- i er an hour and will not unless by un- j animous consent. I went over to Laurens on Saturday and had a very pleasant and I hope profitable conference with Mr. R. T. Wilson, the county superintendent of education of that county, in reference to the line schools and the best way to manage them. We have four schools in the county that have children from both counties and both counties contribute to the support of the schools. In two of them, Kinards and Reederville, the school houises are in Newberry and the other two the school houses are in Laurens, i We decided that where the school house was in Newberry t^iat the expense of the school and the report of the teacher would be made to Newberry, and where the house was in Laurens the report would be made to Laurens, and that each county would send the other whatever money was due to the district from that county. I think that is much more satisfactory. Belfast school house is in Laurens and part of Vaughnville district decided to unite with a school in Laurens. The road to Lauren^ is very good. The Newberry part would be fine ifj it had been dragged at the proper : time. I suppose the authorities are I not doing much on this road as it is | one that is to be built properly out; o^ the bond money as soon as this^j work is Commenced. From -Kinards.| to Goldville on the Laurens side the! road is fine. One of the best we I have seen in the states From Gold-' ville to Clinton it is getting' into! holes. From Clinton to Laurens the! hands are at work on the building of the road but have not yet opened the new road. Mr. Ai H. Counts the attendance officer very kindly drove me over to' Laurens on Saturday. We left New-; berry something after 8 o'clock and,! we were back by 3 o clock. We made a stop at Clinton going over and I called at Jacobs & Co. to have some cuts made for the newspaper. This is the finest plant of its kind in the \ South and for that matter in any part of the country. They have 33,000 feet of floor space and one can not have any conception of the business j unless he visits the place. And theyj turn out the very finest and most; high class work. Coming back we had dinner with 1 T\lf TT7,:l ~ iui. ?iiu luia. ?v uaun, wiiu run uic Clinton hotel. And Mrs. Wilson gave us a fine dinner. They are Newberry people and I am pleased to know that they are getting along so well with the hotel. I took time while in Laurens to make a call on the newspaper men but did not find the editors of the Herald in. I suppose they had gone to dinner. Editor Lee was in his office. He has recently built a very handsome brick home for his news-1 paper and everything looks like he j is prosperous, and I hope he is. Tuesday T am going to Little Moun- j tain to meet the trustees from Red Knoll and Little Mountain in reference to the Iwo schools. A portion of the Red Knoll district has been cut off into Little Mountain. While I am in Little Mountain I hope to find time to run down to the school for a short visit. " From Little Mountain I will go with Mr. Felton over to Mt. Hebron colored school to receive the new building which is just finisihed aw tino piavt. The school money is getting a little low and we have had to withhold payment of teachers for a short time. It is probable that those who have not paid taxes will not do so now until the latter part of April inasmuch as the time has been extended to the first of May. But now that the legislature has adjourned we may get pretty soon aiH. and that will hek> some to keep us going on a cash basis, ij think we have done well in this covin-j Haltiwangi yuuuiJy KJi Go Hat There are three di{ go to make pruden ingf?quality, style 1 -1 1 \ . witnout me latter chase any more th< second.
