( From street corner talk amongi iany of our business men and farm. nrs in the community it appears tha the hope for twenty or twenty-fiv< ,ents cotton this spring has a lmost been abandoned, with such ideas as th< aibove, coupled together with the fac1 that many farmers are claiming thal with the high prices being asked foi fertilizer, that the fertilizer people ar trying to evade any loss, while farm ers and merchants have already sus tained a tremendous loss on accoun of the slump, in prices, with suc1 thoughts in the minds of our peopl they have been living for the las Week or so at least on the pessimisti side of life and passing through "blu streaks." One substantial farmer wtas hear to say the other day that it would b impossible for him to pay anythin like his last year's. expens(s if he wa forced to sell his cotton and cottoll seed at present prices, and that i looked as though there would be n money to be borrowed this year an that lie hardly knew whether to hir any hands or let out any share cror this year or not; and that unless cor ditions changed lie might not be abi to even supply helpers with rations. While another substantial farm takes quite an optomistic view of tI situation and declares that peop1 should quit "fussing" lbout low-priec cotton and high priced fertilizer all get to work and that, in due time a things Wouh1 adjust themselves at the perpeng proposition now b ing poideredl over would be a thing Ith past an1d we once again would hma a happy people. Our own opinion is just about thi tho farmnie that lost a thousand dl :nr hist year or that. is that lacked 'h.a nd dollars paying his leb )mi ; ake thik year say $3,000 wor of crop for $12.000, then take the tho NAi ad offset this back debt ai start even with the world again. Tl :. w! .luon waould a)ply to the me chant, mill nian, horse-trader and on. Sometimes we hear folks discus ing conlditions of today even sometim leaving off the "dis" that they are ve much afraid that the price of our cot modities is going still lower or th the holl weevil will eat up the cott, etc. Yet the good book says: "Fe thou not for I am with thee"; it al says: "Let us therefore come bol unto the throne of grace, that we t obtain mercy and find grace to help time of need."

If there had been a prayer meeting the night efter the "shake" in 1886 or. the night after the tornado swept IL through this county and a show in the same town whicl of these places would . - have been niost largely attended. I Which are having the largest atten- O dance of today ? Think we had better call on Brother Smith of Manning for the reply. Miss Lila Briggs, who is attending k Chicora College, spent the week-end with her,,mother, Mrs. C. H. Briggs. A merchant of Summerton says, that since our Federal Reserve Board isueld instructions to member banks to call in their loans, a great change thas come over the business world, and as a result the poor have been madel poorer and the rich have been made richer. Confusion reigns supreme in the minds of most all of our people. Who should we blame for the condI tions that exist? Some Im ighty big business men say "'Ihe Federal Re serve Board," Secretary AleAdoo saysi that. our Federal Reserve Officers could have taken a different action and had loans called in smaIlet amounts and covering a longer period mind the wheels of industry kept mov Ing on. The onfly argument I have heard )r (and I must say it. is brimming full of ereal logic) is that a great wave ot de flation and necessaily depression fol lows all wars, and one had to follow I- this world war. a Our country has progress('ed most ts rapidly since it's discovery in 1-1912 un ,h til the past six months. We have the ,- proud distinction of being the- leading id nation in the world, as well as the 1e richest nation of the worl, andl yet V- our great bankers cobtil not or would o not figure out a plan whereby we s- im ight go tlrough deflation and back as to normal without tearing away the ry very foundation of otir whole business it- structure, etc., farming. What would at yold be worth ? What would the value )m1 of our great railroads, great cities, ir etc., amount to, if old mother earth So should suddenly stop jroducing. ly Our Federal Reserve Banks were y created long before we entered the \ war, and they were created to serve .i ur people under such condition as we ile have been enjoying for the past live !y nionths. Hlave they served us right? te Ilistory tells us that a boom1 follows Ot every wave of depressIon, si lets hope tig that this boom will r~ooni come. In the meani time let's p~repaire when the next il hooim comes andii not trust the federia I -reserve or any' other kind of banoks for 01our welfar e. Let's putsh forwarid andl ec- forget the past, "for the pr'esent is aill .il thou hast'' the future will soon be lwpesen t, and the prese'nt will soon he at past."
