E. H. AULL, EDITOR.
Tuesday, June 28, 1921.
We noticed in the paper the other I
day that some one of the big org-ani-j
zations or some one of the big officials j
has advised the farmer to plant plenty
of food stuff, and then make cotton
the surplus, as the one remedy that
would solve some of the problems that
perplex us just now. That sounds
good, but The Herald and News has
been preaching that doctrine for the
past 35 years to our certain knowledge,
a . if it has borne any good j
fruit we do not know it, and yet it is
the only solution for the farmer of j
this section. We have known it all!
the years that we have been promul-|
gating that gospel. There is no sortj
of doubt about the doctrine being j
sound. Now and then you will find a,
farmer in this section who has sue-;
ceeded by growing all cotton and buy
ing his food, but he is only the ex-j
ception that proves the correctness,
of the rule.
We desire that all correspondents
and advertisers and all interested to'
take note that The Herald and Newsj
is going to be put to press on Mondays i
and Thursdays at 4 o'clock if possible,;
and certainly between 4 and 5 o'clock j
3U LILCLl/ U1CIC ma* nv vavmcv ,
about making the afternoon mails
that the paper may be delivered to
the subscribers at regular times. The
subscribers to the Daily State, for instance,
would not care much longer
to take the paper if you delivered
Monday's paper on Tuesday morning,
it would make little difference howj
good a paper you printed. A little j
cooperation on the part of the people:
who work in the office and the con-j
tributors and correspondents and ad-j|
vertisers and it will be just as easy to r'
be on time, and a great deal more;'
pleasant, as to be late.
Mr Hoover says, that the shelves of
the world ate getting pretty bare of i
cloth goods, and that the world needs .
our cotton, and yet there is no market
for it. There is something wrong"
somewhere besides the mere cry that J
theTe is overproduction. , It does
seem to us that there should be sufficient
financial brain to devise some1,
plan to syndicate the'cotton that is!,
now on hand and take it out of the!
banks and hold it until the demand:'
was sufficient to take it at a fair!']
price. We had thought that the cot-:
ton noiaing corporatiuii Lild> L> yy aw ^
talked about some months ago would i
accomplish the purpose, but if it is!
doing anything we do not know about
it.
And we never could understand
why the big money power should1
seem always to be on the bear side of 1
the cotton market. It always did appear
to us that from a selfish reason ^
U l>? +Viq i ritorocf ^
It WOUiU UC IV mt iiivvxuv V.
money power to let the producer of^
the wealth have at least a small part j
of it, enough so that he would not be ,
facing bankruptcy all the time. The .
farmer is beginning to realize the *
power that he has if he would only '
use it. He could hold all the rest of
the world at his mercy if he only
? ^ ]
would, lie is tne source 01 an iuuu
supply and yet he is all the time at
the mercy of the power that dees not j
produce a thing, and would soon ^
starve to death if it were not for the
farmer. i
But there is an adjustment going
on in this great transition period in
which we are living, and it will not ]
be long before the situation will be '
very much changed. In the mean- ^
time let us all work together and do
the best we can. | _
CURB MARKET
The curb market is a failure in 1
Newberry just as we predicted it
would be. The farmers who may have '
a little something for sale are not '
going to risk standing on the curb
waiting for the purchaser who may
never come, and the housewives are ^
not going to take their little handle
basket and go down to the curb and
buy a few little vegetables and trudge-1
them home when they can order a J
mVklp nf almost anvthinsr they want
and have it sent out to the edge of
town, if they happen to live there,
without extra cost. Besides that, the
average farmer who has truck for '
sale would rather take it around or
( ,
leave it with a merchant and let him;
sell it for him.
One merchant from whom we have j
been geting a little farm butter, when I'
the man who supplies us regularly
happens not to come, told us that he;
u i v -u* ?
COUld Xiave wugm a 1I1I.C vx
fine butter or Saturday morning, but1
he was afraid that the curb market1
would supply the demand and he |
would have this left on his hands, and;
so he did not buy it. And we were ^
left without butter.
In Greenwood, wherg they claim to; C
operate a curb market, we are told. s
that the women in charge, and it is
under the direction of the demonstra-|^
tion agent, rent or secure the use of;
o V?4- n r\Y? C niJPO in AflP nf ;
g v ui a i vvui vt iw v..v (
the stores and the farmers bring their,t
butter or eggs or whatever they have, I
and leave it there, and the women sell j I
it, and we suppose .take a certain !i
small per cent for the handling, and; s
-* ^? nV\Allf V?1C Knc^_ ' 1

ness and when he gets ready he comes | c
back and gets his money. But they It
do not back up on the curb and stand; t
and wait for the buyer, and the buyer i r
does not have to stand on the curb;t
and wait for the farmer to come i
along. r
That is the same principle that we i 1advocated
as the only one to success- t
fully handle the proposition. Have c
an exchange, so to speak, or some c?
i?'V>??-ro + Vio n-rr>Hnr?p mav be left e

or handled by some one who knows i
the market price, and let it be brought r
there and then any one who wants to v
buy may know where to go, and even h
the merchant might buy from this ex- i
change and then make his small per r
cent. The truth is we do not want /
to drive the retail merchant out of It
business, because he is necessary in | i
our system of doing busienss, and we t
need him and the town makes him c
pay a license to do business. t
We are a pretty strong free trader, a
ir> o cmr>^ deal of liberty i
auu ycucit in M ?
in permitting a fellow to buy and sell
where he pleases, and at such prices j
as he cares to take, or to pay, and we
are pretty strongly opposed to the
principle of so much wet nursing by
the government or by any one else ^
for that matter, but it would be a fine , j,
idea if we could have a place where '
any farmer or any one else who pro- ^
duced anything to sell might go and c

any quantity he might have to offer, a
and for the lack of just such a place g
a whole lot of good stuff is thrown j
away all the time, because many a
farmer would bring along when he

The matter of the enforcenent
of this law is largely in the
lands of the trustees, and one feaure
of the law is the taking of the

I desire to have a conference with

so that we may go over toether
the provisions of the act reuiring
the trustees to enforce the

rovides that the trustees must make

The meeting will be held in the

' I hope every trustee in the county
rill feel that it is his duty to attend

Among1 other things the law proides
that the trustees shall take a

PLIGHT OF FARMERS
BEING CONSIDERED
I
I HOOVER OPPOSES KKUKUitLi
$100,000,000 CORPORATION
Gives Views Outlining Position of
Administration as to Economic
Distress Being Felt
Washington, June 25.?While expressing
his disapproval of the Norris
bill to create a $100,000,000 corporation
to aid farm exports, Secretary
Hoover told a senate committee today
that the administration recognized he
; economic plight of American farmers
and was engaged in "mobilizi lg pivate
banging credits to prevent the
'forced liquidation of farm commodi
ties, particularly cotton and sugar.
"Let us first attempt," he said, "to
prevent forced liquidation of these
commodities by mobilizing private
capital, as has been done already in
the cattle industry and then if we
fail there will be time enough to get
the government to make up the burI
den directly." Pointing out that the
iTTnifor? Qfatoc Hnr} 5prit tin Enrone
"a billion dollars worth of foodstuffs
in the last 11 months," Mr. Hoover
said it "was evident that the governments
and people there find money
for foods," but conceded that the situation
as to cotton was worse, "because
they tend to reduce their normal
requirements of textiles."
One wishes to make mental reservations
upon the possible recuperation
in Europe, Mr. Hoover said in the
course of a general discussion of the
economic situation overseas, "but the
?' iVl? 4-/\ T"? r>f

be classed as Al."
Talks <yf Treasury Plan
Chairman Norris referred to the
administration bills which congress
has been asked to pass, empowering
general steps to refund ail of the war
de'bts which the United Sttaes holds.
"The object of that bill is to get
these loans in some sort of shape for
handling." Mr. Hoover said, and when
pressed for a statement as to whether
r the treasury intended to permit the
exchange of German reparation securities
by exchanging some of the se<
curities of new nations for German
bonds."
"England owes four billions," Senator
Norris said. "Do you mean to say
we would be asked to take 'German
monds against, this debt and that they
would be better?"
"No," Mr. Hoover responded. "I
said exchanges might be made which
- - VT
would give us better security. i\o
one proposes that the United States
should exchange good security for
less good, so far as I know."
The commerce secretary discussing
the Norris bill to create a $100,000,000
government farm export corporation
told the committee he did not
If I had a map of the county showing
the school district lines we could

for the county. But when we
talk about building and locating lines
and consolidating it is all very largely
guess work because no one knows
where the existing lines are, and in
fact they are almost imagirtary lines.
But we will just have to do the best
we can until we can get a legislative
delegation that will not minify the
school system of the county, but will
J be able to have a sufficient vision to
j see that it is the most important de
I partment of the life of tfte people,
and that the biggest asset of the country
is the children and that to make
that asset worth while it must be
trained and developed. But wonderful
strides have been made within the
last decade and we could scarcely exI
pect to have done more in the same
j time.
The examination for Winthrop will
be held on Friday at the court house
! beginning at 9 o'clock and closing at
4 o'clock. There are no county scholarships
from this county, but this will
act as an entrance examination and
there are a few state scholarships, and
our applicants will stand an equal
chance with other applicants in the
I state. The examination for Clemson

"I do not. want to appear to de- ju
llprecate any proposal intended to as-ja
isist the agricultural industry," Mr. _
Hoover said, 'because the situation l
today which has reduced the purchas- j 1
ing power of the American farmer 6< !
. per cent., has put him to the most!
per cent., has put him to the most j ,
! serious duress agriculture has ever;
(had to face. The situation is the!
most acute and dangerous in the;
country at the present moment. Yet;
I can not feel that the extension of;
[further credit facilities for the sup-!
ply of food products to Europe would i
give any adequate remedy." j
European Food Situation j ?
I While 60,000,000 Europeans still;
lare "under food restraint, rationing!
'or similar systems," Mr. Hoover said!
'Poland, Austria and "in a minor de-!
igree Czecho-Slovakia" were the only
'countries where a diminished food;
isunolv exists.
, I
European harvests, genaraily ^rood,;
he said, mi^ht be sufficient to meet I
1 i i
their needs, but tnat in any case 30,-;
.000,000 bushels of wheat was all that;
would be involved. He added that!
,Europe "found teh money somehow j
j to take $1,000,000,000 in foor from j
the United States in hte last 11 1-2!
months."
,i As to cotton, however, the prob-i
lem of disposing of our surplus is!
much more serious," Mr. Hoover continued,
'because experience has demonstrated
that the governmnts and
I the peoples will secure their food,
but that they will cut in textiles.
'! "There is a marked tendency in
Europe to )ive on their own food re-1
sources, and make their harvests
! |
stretch as far as possible through the
'.year, which indicates that the Amer-j
jican farmer must carry hereafter his1
crops for a longer period through i
the yea because European demand
[ will only come at later months.
\\ "We are trying to set up such ma- _
chinery as will prevent forced liqui- ?
dation in cotton and sugar and nego- j [
tiating through the banks of the'
country. If this can not be done j
] through the mobilization of private j
banking capital in such a way as to I
avoid putting the burden on the gov-'
ernment, why then we may have to
call on the government.
'j "Happily there is a short crop ofj
! cotton this year and there have also
been artificial conditions which have j
1 depressed the market, such as the!
long strike in Eingland and the repar-J
ations discussions with Germany,!
which worked to cut our cotton ex- j
ports, yet the shelves of the world are !
growing bare of textiles and we canj
hope to carry over the surplus until]
1 it can be sold at satisfactory }eve>:-. A {
similar situation exists as to grain, J
! but it is not so marked."
