WEDNESDAY, NOy. 3, 1920.
IF?
Tf those- who whine would whistle,
And those who languish laugh,
Tho rose would rout the thistle,
The grain crutrun the chaff;
If hearts were only Jolly, ,.f
If grieving were forgot,
And tears of melancholy ,
Were things that now are not,
Then love would kneel to duty,
Then all the world would seem
A bridal bower of beauty,
A dream within a dream.
If men would cease to,worry, 1 '
And women cease to sigh, . 1
And all be glad to bury 1
Whatever has to die; ' 1
If neighbor spoke to neighbor, 1
As love demands of all,
The rust would eat the saber, *
The spear stay on'the wall;
Then every day would glisten, '
And every eye would shine.
And God would pause and listen, 1
And life would be divine.

THE EliECTION. ' '
* Another, presidential election has
passed into history and the overwhelming
voice of the American people
has spOken in a "solemn referendum"
against thtf league of nations.
It war* Issue that carried. iitiie iiw- ,
penl to the average voter. Wo have l
gotten too far away from the idea1 fun?
of the' war to be stirred to the depths
by an issue containing so much of
tho altruistic. Wo believe the Democratic
position wds right, but the
voters have decided differently and
wo must bow to. the inevitable, contenting
ourselves to voice the .hope
that the destiny which has led this
great nation through many periods of
stress and storm and brought it safely
to its present high position in the
world will continue to direct us in the
paths of peace and righteousness.
It is n nity that the great achievements
of tho Democratic party in the
past. few years, prior io Republican
eoniiOi u* congress, wore-so lit?lO emphasized
and the alleged shortcomings
so greatly magnified, hut history
will clear away the cobwebs and confusion
and reveal these achievements ,
in their true light, to the everlasting
glory of the nation as well as the
Democratic party.
As for the future we must turn,
our feces resolutely to it, ready to face
whatever fate may have in store for
us, with it confidence horn of our nnturally
strong position in the world
and a desire to do our individual
best. Wc do not believe tho country
will go to the bemnition bow-wows
under a Republican"' administration.
True, tilings may be harder for us in
the South in a political way. So much
of anti-Southern feeling seemed to
nave cnaracterized- the -campaign in
the .North tlia? thinking Southerners I
Unci cause for real alarm in the altitude
manifested. 1 .Ttjtt wo on our>
fathers faced greater perils than, we
are likely to encounter. Whateverf
situation may arise by reason of Republican
deBire to punish the South
we can meet like.men, with the same
Indomitable courago which has characterized
our conduct in the past.
Courage and fidelity to our ideals of
' / white supremacy regardless of cost
will win for us in the future as in the
past.
So far as Senator Harding is concerned
we are inclined to the view
that hcj Ha a level-headed and a Just
man. We do not believe that the
South has much to fear from him
personally, but the men who have
made him president are notorious for
mesr proieBSionai ; anti-Southernism.
Undoubtedly vtibey fwill have great
weight with him. Time will tell how
much. rT/ f /
In the meantime he who works hard
and tries to save a little- ahd goes
about his own business in the right
way may bo sure that he will como
out on top after all. There
will bo another election four i
years hence. Its outcome wlljL do- '
pend on the conduct of the Republican
party in the meantime, which
may have, a steadying influence, after
all." Let's all hope for the bpst.
A BAD lUEOORD.
According to figures just issued b>
the Interstate Commerce Commission
South Carolina stands seventh in' the
list of states in the number of automobile
accidents at grade crossings.
Certainly an unenviable record and
one wh'.el^ should be improved upon.
It is to be said in commendation of
the state highway department that
wherever it has had an opportunity it
has relocated public highways in such
a way as to eliminate many grado
crossings, but it is imDOssible to do
away with all of them. Besides the
state highway department cannot prevent
the reckless driving that seemu
tc bo so common in somo parts of the
state. Not all of the automobile accidents
by any means are caused by
booze, but it is safe to say that far too
largo a percentage of the reckless
driving is caused by the failure of alcohol
and gasoline to mix freely.
CHEER UP.
With a good crop of wheat and
oats* plenty of corn, peas and potatoes,
. some .sorghum and other food
crops made this year wo are by no
means in a desperate plight. While
the present price of cotton is certainly
below the cost of production and the
holding of the staple f-"*u the market
has for^ the time b- ng depressed
trade more or less, there is no room
whatever for pessimism, but rather
occasion for rejoicing that practically
everybody will have something to eat
to go upon next year. After a while
cotton ought certainly to be higher and
things will take on a better aspect, rhe
country is generally in a sound condition
and when we recover front the
present depression, as we will-'shortly,
we can look about us and and plenty
af room for thanksgiving. x
Perhaps it is better that the slump
?amc. It will have a steadying effect
upon us all. We will plan our work
and our business on a different scale
from what it might have been planned
had the era of high prices remained
longer.
DON'T fiOSE YOl'll XEKVE.
Bennctlsvillc Advocate.
The more you talk about ruinous
prices and hard times, the more you
get other people to believing and
talking the same way, and this helps
make times harder and prices more
ruinous. If everybody believed that
cotton would Re down. Jo." ten cents
in thirty daye, they would nearly all
try to sell at present prices, and the
consumers would stop buying, wait- !
ing to get it at'ten "cents. And this
general belief wotiid carry it down' to
tpn cents in less tiian thirty iiayh.
On the other hand, if everybody
were sure that cotton'would be thirty
cents in thirty days, that very belief
would put it to thirty cents, bo#??
llufk ttlafa nrnnl/1 1..
...v.W V.V..H Wt, M. .UI1UID UJT
the mills to get it at present mrices,
and every grower who .could I (and
they practically all could under these
circumstances) would hold, " tor
* % t .
around thirty cents.
So, the more you talk calamity,
the faster you help brlns it on. Stop
it. Don't set panicky. Don't lose
your nerve. Be a real) sport, and
look for better things! We usually
drill what we really .-lOCHi, for, and,
keep ' on lookins for,' even when the"
search, at times, seems in\vain.
In times of financial stress, vlike.
the present, the you is men should
be the most hopeful. They have/long
' ' f*. t
lives before them, and plenty./it time
to recover from temporary /Reverses.
As a matter of fact hoWeVer, the
youns men are the nost/d^pb&dent.
With their limited i xpe/itMfce' in'. the'
affairs of life, they ] md | besu/^.t/)/ e,x-.
pec.t perpetual prosiieritjy; arv^'; ' tl>ey
stagger under the inex^pected ''^Kdck
of a'dversity.
The older men j have seen such
times before. They Jkavo crossed
many rough places In liifo's road, and
crossed them satjely.' They " Have
learned by experience that every life
and every enterprisp hap Its ups and
downs, and that jthere are hard
grades to make on every road. Thev
have gone over them before, and
they feel that they can go over them
again and again aiid i\un on in*
smooth road 'beyonjl.
Don't get frightened by? low prices
for coton and debits which you capnot
pay when duel Keep j\our nerve
and keep plugging! away, njid you
will get there safeji after a while. Be
honest with your creditors. Do ail
you can to pay them or make satisfactory
arrangements with them.
Economize; plan to. save more and
spend less. Hold your cotton if you
can, prepare to.mako something to
live on next year, and what cotton
you can as- a surplus.' < Dofn't
expect too much from Wilson,
Cox, Harding, congress or the
legislature. Talk for and look for
bettor times and yod will soon find
them. 4

TAKING THE FIGHT FOR FOCD
PRODCOnOV TO THE ARCTIC
The United Slates Department of
Agriculture Is encouraging the development
Irf Alaska of a considerable
crop, grain, arid live-stock industry
adapted, to tha comparatively shcrrt
growing season of that territory. It
nos five agricultural experiment stations
in Alaska, the work of which is
:overed in a report to the Secretary of
Vgrlculturo by C. C. Georgcson, ag
cnomist in cnarge. tney arc locatcu
at Sitka, Kodlak, Matanuaka. Fairbanks,
and Rampart, the latter being
Just under the Arctic Circle, where the
temperatures range from plus 8S degrees
to minus 63 degrees. #
These agricultural stations have
done considerable work in breeding
and establishing new varieties of
grains, berries, fruits, and economic
plants suited tc/ the short seas n and
the raising of domestic animals of all
kinds, of which there is great need in
Alaska'because of its remoteness from
the rest of the world.
At present the largest farming sottleuient
is in-the neighborhood of Fairbanks,
in the Tunana ""alley. Aborut
6,000 bushqls of grain was raised in
the vicinity of Fairbanks in 1919.
One of the big problems of Alaskan
agriculture, especially in the northeri.
parts, is .the conservation of moisture.
When the ground is first cleared the
soil is frozen nearly to the surface the
year around. The first few crops reciuire
only a slight rainfall, since the
ice in the ground grndually melts, furnishing
sufficient moisture, which b>
capillary action rises to the roots of
the growing cpops. In tho course o*
a few years, however, the ice recedes
to a depth of 6 or 7'or more feet, and
this reservoir of moisture is no. longer
available for the crops. It then becomes
necessary to use machinery
which will not only pack the soil a few
Inches below the surface and thus
hinder evaporation, but at the sam*?
time maintain a surface mulch of
looso soil, which, by hindering evaporation,
conserves the moisture. The
average rainfall in the Tenana Valley
is on'y about 12 inches.
Looks That Way.
