Tuesday, March 8, 1921.
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.

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
