I The great question before the peo- , plo today:is how long before the pres- * ent period of business depression will ^ be over. J One guess fr. almost as gooa t as another-' and The DispatC^-News ^ hardly cAfes to risk Its' reputation as j. a prcrphet and Bet ah *exact"date. The < big bankers and Kuslriess' men of the s country Appear- to bb confident that ^ the readjustment period'will soon end and an area of prosperity will again ^ he ushered In. It Is certainly to be n hoped that they are right and there is every indication to warrant such a belief. # The country is sound at bot- j, torn and .fine yields^ of all kinds of n crops have added, materially to our wealth. As soon as the public is wil- t tcf resume buying: and create an, .j 1 active demand for the products of f the farm,, .thereby making: possible a 1( price "which will tempt farmers to sell there will be increased business. It is + of course doubtful whether we shall , '! I ever see things as they have been for c the past few years and maybe it is . . 4 f L better that we should not have them f just like they have been. At pros- ^ ent, however, we are passing through u a readjustment period that had to ^ come sooner or later. "Without doubt ( it was hastened by the a'ction of the federal reserve board in tightening j the money market. Whether governmental action will be necessary ot ^ can accomplish the result of reestablishing conttdence and stabilizing business remains .to.be seen. The thing focl everybody to do. is to quit ^ talking hard times, get. to work and ^ stay there; do the best they can, pay ( as much of their debts aa.is possible j and sooner or later the .sun .will shine 1 again. ,( : o ... , j ' DESIRABLE IMMIGRANTS. ] We were quite interested to note a 1 few days;, ago that Senator Dial was making an effort to secure a colony , of Dutch people for settlement in ( South Carolina. It is to be hoped that his venture will prove successful. From the sturdy folks of Holland we have derived much that is best in our institutions' Rv somp writ era it is claimed that we really owe 1 more df our best in government to the Dutch than to the English, and that even^m- constitution was taken from the Nopga1nic law of the Netherlands. Hfljjever, that may be, it is to i said that many of the enrly settle.' ^ ments of : this country were by the Dutch and* they left.a deep impress N upon the land. As a race they are hardy, thrifty, honest,and law-abiding and would be easily assimilated in the body of .our citizenship. Senator Dial will "perform a real service to the State should he succeed in 'securing the settlement here' of a considerable body of such errttgrants. i It is tQ be hoped .however, that better arrangements will be thade for their coming than that which characterized .the attempted colonization of the Belgians who came ovor on the well-remembered Wittekind Some years ago at the instance of the late E. J. Watson, commissioner immigration. Thse poor people wore dumped into South Carolina without any arrangements for their coming, could find little or no employment and left the state within a- very few weeks. A ROOD RXAtfPT.P. One farm like that of the .Homeland farm, managed on 1 strictly business principles and having such a diversification of its products as tjo pe literally independent of any one crop, ought te? be a greai object lesson to our poeple, and it is fortunate for the state that the Messrs. Wingard, tyho operate such a farm should be. willing, and i glad tcr show people in other parts of the state what can be done towards making the South really independent of cotton. Such men aro worth a great deal more to their stato than all tho politicians. Until the South gdes back to the methods pf agriculture which pervailed prior to tho Civil (i , ' ' . - ' ' V * 1 1 II ,1 War and people leun to live at home we cannot hop# to avoid periods grreat depression. Old people tell US thdt bofore th6 war there were com munities of considtable slae In which such an institution as a grocery store was unknown. Today we And that South Carolina is importing tenp of thousands of dollars worth of food and feed every year and -raising: cotton with which lo pay for this fobd at prices below the post of produc tion. As long as we continue to do this' so long will be. bound with the chains of economic slavery. Here in Lexington county our formers aro nore given to diversified agriculture than in most counties of the state, but there are still many who depend entirely too much on the outside world for food for themselves and families and feed for their stock. If the present depression in the price of cotton should stimulate them, as it should, to devoce a larger acreage to crops that will furnish food an dfeed then it will" have proved a blessing in disguise. BEING POLITE. A boy reader of The Dispatch-News, who thinks a little beyond one of his years ^nd who had been reading an irticle on politeness, writes as foll6\vs: 'How ls the average boy or girl going \> learn to be polite? I fear it is not aught much in home .or school. We ionlt get much Infot-fhatlon from looks ,on this most important subject. :ould y^?u not give us in your paper ome rujes or suggestions that would Our boy reader haa opened up a ii'g :su|>ject and given us matter for tiany columns. True polltness, howver, cannot be learned from set ulep. To be polite is to be kind?to iave a.} heart. True politeness doeB ot consist merely-in lifting your hat rhen you meet a lady, or in giving he easy chair to the older person. It i our -idea that politeness extends urther than the rules of etiquette lid down in books. If you answer the mile of the baby across the aisle on he street car?that's having a heart, f you guide the blind man across the rowded street?that's having a ieart. If you stop to wipe the tears roni a hurt child's eyes, or* speak :indly to the ragged boy who waits ipori the street?that's having a ieart. Ypu will. Jiye?and prosper, robably?if you do none of these hings, or similar litttle kindnesses. Jut you won'tj tie jiving a free and latural life, a life that knows real ove and real kindness; 6. life that itanips you as a gentleman, a polite nan i or boy. Thle world today is too cro\yded vith the-other kind ; of; men?those vho ireturn the smile of a baby with jL bltfnk stare or a scowl; those who ioolc ' the other way wheh thej? see. a ... j * blind man in need of assistance, those who hurry by >a crying child. J_.efl.rn to give altl, learn to do the little;acts of kindess along life's pathway and you will have learned to be polite, my son. You do no^need rules md suggestions. Be kind, be considerate, for that is to be polltb. t A TREE FOR TESTING. Any ordinary person can get along pleasantly while fortune favors and everything is prospering. It takes patience and grit and sturdy character to gfor creditably and safely?speaking both subjectively and objectively? through'times like these. Following upon a yar of unexampled prosperity, the "hard times" are the harder to bear; but they can ne made times of character building, if cme does his duty and goes cheerfully about his work." The times are not as hard as some think; it .is largely a matter of contrast. The people in this part of the world have food and shelter and clothing; they have schools ana churches and good neighbors. If one begins- to 'reckon up his blessings here in Newberry county, and in South Caroline., and to compare them with the condition of peoples in other parts of the world, he will find that ho has a thousand things to bo thankful for. Many men are like spoiled children; if they do not get what they desire they fret and fume, destroying their own happiness ana quiet or mma ana taking away the pleasures of life from their families and friends. There is a good deal of unrest just now, and some wild talk; some men are in an ugly mood, and have worked themselves up to believing they has been imposed cm and are being robbed by others. Let every man think of the blessings he has, and not fret over-what he cannot help! As far as possible?and it ought to be possible to all?cme should imitate St. Paul, who learned in whatever state he was therewith to bo content?not content in the sense of not trying to improve his condition but coiitcnt after he has done his duty the best ho can. It behooves men and women who love their country and their fellows to set an example c/f sturdy manhood and patient womanhood in these days of unrest and dissatisfaction.? Newberry Observer. I % ? " * I coop OLD AMERICA. Whatever may happen In less .favored lands things have &' way of righting themselves in this America of oura?unless impracticable visionaries undertake to regulate them tpo much. Last spring we attehded a meeting of farmers and one of the speakers dretv so mournful a picture I of coming events that vte all felt as if we were attending a funeral of all the hopes for happiness we ever had cherished;. He confidently predicted that this autumn would see potatoes selling at $20 a barrell, sugar at 50 cents a pound, eggs at $3.00 a dozen, milk ut 40 cents a quart. . And even such retail prices meant financial ruin to the famer, he added, because farm labor would be so scarce and raw material needed by the farmer would be so high a3 to bring bankruptcy right up ' to. the woodshed door. But the dire predictions of the calamity howlers are not likely to bo fulfilled. Potatoes and sugar and a lot of other things are declining. It is true that in some lines there Is still a- tendency to boost prices. ' Whep you run up against that'ijhn^jiPthjs^thing to do is to do .wlthout^'.Jf~lk- dfcgent cigar must cost 15 cents, Ihen ^sjjioke a pipe. That'll bring 'em tlovta. And so it is with other articles. If the winter coat or suit is going to cost ^ too i>much, make last winter's clothing do. The sugar corner went to smash because the new Cuban crop will be rjady for market In December, and there is no sugar "famine" in sight anywhere. When the flofv of natural trade is not coerced by artificial conditions the reliable old firm of supply and demand continues to do busines in the reliable old way. Finally, good news comes out of the West; Kansas, for v.acvi, tiiib lhv ittvat ? unuci ful wheat .crop in its hlBtory. Isn't it about time for chronic calamity howlers to cheer up and join the rest of us in enjoying life? ?*" - > ? . 'tit 1 I'lN.VIi DISCHARGE.
