About the easiest thing in the worl * 'is to stand around and criticize some body who is really trying to accom . plish something. It takes .a mini mum of brains even if it requires |?V ' ' little tongue. Until the milleniur comes there will surely be mean spite fill people who are jealous of th V i success which they have neither th energy and ambition to attempt ^10 the ability to achieve. In time, how ever, the community learns to ap preciate the "knocker" at his tru worth and it will eventually pay jus / resj. act to the man of constructiv ability who is willing to take hi rebuffs and keep on building. If "al the world loves a lover" it is doubt less true that a part at least of tha r: love is inspired because of a lover' , general good humor. It loves an op ' . tirqist also, providing he is sanely op * timistic, and its greatest reward eventually go to those who have vis ion?who look beyond the dark clou< ^ y< . of today into the sunshiny paths o ; tomorrow, who are ready to do thei: Ppart today but who see beyond th< lightning flash, the many-colored rain .-> ,t Dow ana wno near m tne muttering! V . of the thunder a promise that tin V ..r , .storm is almost over. Let's all tr: 5 to he optimists -and work ^ard t< 7-realize our hopes. It will at leas V V make life pleasanter'and happier. COTTON OCTLOOIf. I There is little doubt about it, far mers are the. most advised people ii the world. There is hardly a news paper man that is not ready to freel; give advice to the farmers about hov to conduct their business. This news paper- has always tried to avoid ; temptation to do this, realizing tha we are entirely incompetent for th< , I job, but we have always thought an< , still hang to the belief that since ag .riculture, in this state particularly, i the very foundation of all oi our busi ness affairs, newspapers should d< their very best to encourage the bes methods of farming by passing alon; I * information from all authoritativ sources that will be helpful.. Wit] this end in view we are calling atten tjon this week to an article sent ou V. joy xne American uotton Associatio: and printed elsewhere. This artic-1 shows that the carry over of cotto: from 1920 will be 9,000,000 bales, o - almost enough to supply the world' demands under present demoralize! \ conditions. The statistics upon whio this statement is based were care fully compiled by the Memphis cot ton committee and are doubtless suf flciently a'ccurate for all practica purposes. When their meaning i contemplated it is only too plain tha another twelve or 13 million bale cro will result not only in a low price fo this year's crop but a complete sacri fice of the crop of 1920, now largel held by our farmers. We have nc the slightest doubt that*cotton wi be made cheaper this year than las High priced labor and high price fertilizer will come down or be aba* doned. But that will help only fc the crop of 1921. and even such n duction as can be made in the expens 01 raising- a crop or <-ouon will n< guarantee a price above the cost < production if another large crop made, and the sacrifices which mar of our people have made to hold the crop this year will have been i vain. Experience has demonstrated th< when it comes to attempting croj other than cotton as money-bringir propositions results have been disaj pointing, but it has also demoi strated that the man who raises h meat and bread and uses cotton on: lor a surplus crop is always bett< able to weather financial storm. Le: ington county has offered a strikir example of this very fact this yea "While times have been hard, the are as a rule not near so hard as i I J ^ * iOi.L' OtiU'r ?Vi-?S gf ; w'Iy ^ u i -"d . ^ " 101"'- 1-."oe.'0S.'ii% ! '>. "0 hardly feel that our farmers ' need anv udvk : along: this line, and I . i we are not attempting to lecture i them, but only ,< ? all attention to the i-conditions governing the cotton mari , : ket today. With t it is knowledge in their possession ? in. .v they will act with ill', ir usual .. .od sense and | i lllUKV cui.i x . v. ..... ? v vw. .. Uivl hl'ca'j. THE GERMAN I XDE.M \ i i V. The indemnity fixe;! by the alms for Germany to pay?something like j sixty billion dollars, to he liauidamd j over a period of 42 years?while it | tiay be entirely just under the cirl | cainstances, would appear to be bci yo'.tl I *e al'.uty ol . .-en s<> industrious I and thrifty peoples as the Germans j to 2t. v\ i. ei the South have a ; paj-t.ieularlv hvelv interest in this Ger| man indemnity. Cefore tlie war Germany consumed a large part of our cotton and sent to us potash lor soil ^ building. With a load of debt 'that will crush them for many rears how t ! can the Germans meet this enormous ? j v I bill and continue' to Trade with us. i The allies propose a tax oi 12 per ^ cent, on German exports to meet the obligation, which is another way l" | of punishing our late enemy by makI ing it impossible to compete with a other countries in world-markets unn less it be at the utter sacrifice or her working people. Unless she can proe duee an abundance of goods for exe port Germany can never pay, and yet r if her exports are to be shut off by ' a prohibitive tax her production will " avail her naught. e Although vitally interested in this ;t problem, the United States was ene tirely without representation in fixs ing the amount or the terms of pay1 ment, thanks to our Republican - friends. Many good thinkers are of t. the opinion that the scheme announcs ,ed was concocted with a view to mak ing the United States in the final - analysis pay a good part of the Gers | man indemnity. It remains to be - I seen whether or not we do it. I f ! With the prospect of a settlement r i of the Irish question in view, we will ? i have nothing but the crime wave to - ! kill the monotony. 3 ! I s j Everybody, it seems, has picked the \r | next cabinet exr-ept Warren G. Hard:> i ing. t; i Somewhere, somehow, it seems to i us we have heard of a gentlemen I | called the boll weevil. He seems to , j have almost been lost sight of in the .j | talk of low-priced cotton. But don't forget he will be around this summer, ~ 1 i allright. y i v*! . _ ; Income tax returns are now in orx 1 der.

I.?In a hub' grave- ' j yard in Alexander county, in the Blue j ! Kidge mountains of North Carolina, j I the body of Mrs. Saiah AVychof:. i seventy-six, will be buried bes.de that' of her husband. "Wesley, for v. hose j murder she spent a life sentence? j forty-two years?in state prison, dur- ' ing which time a man 0:1 his deathbed is said to have confessed :<i the killing, absolving her and "Bob"' McCorkle, a negro, hanged for the i-rime, ! of any connection. Mrs. Wychoff, who died at lite peni- ! teniiary here yesterday had refused j paidons during the last twenty years j from five governors, explaining that, her chi'drcn had ail died and she had ' itowhere to go and was cvai.t to ! remain among her prison friends th* j balance of her life. Mrs. Wyehoff was tried with JVIc- J Corkle for the murder of Wesley i Wyehoff in 1878. Both protested their I innocence. The negro was found guilty of murder in the first degree and his hanging was th?* only one that ever took place in Alexander county. Mrs. Wyehoff was convicted of conspiracy and sentenced to life imprisonment. Both were convicted on circumstantial evidence. A >j. Wvchoff was seized with an j attack of rheumatism several years j ago and since that time had been I J unable to walk. For years she has i spent, most of her time in bed and in j a wheeled chair knotting, crocheting ; and sewing. She specialized in making little fancy aprons which prison officials sold for h- r. From the money j gathered in this way she had fitted j out a cozy little ceil in the prison and enough money was found after . her death to pay all burial expenses. The body of Mrs. Wyehoff is at a j . local undertakers awaiting word from i relatives before being shipped to the i ?u tin tains. , ? ? o CLAY SPK1NC IT M.MS.
