TURN BACK THE TIDE. The way people ha've been crowding into the cities in the last year does not ring the chord <Jf optimism for the future. Why hundreds of thousands of people who have no business in the cities, should insist on taking wp their abodes in them, is beyond understanding. " nrhon the Never was mere * mue ? country districts offered greater opportunities?especially to men raised aad trained in the open. By jamming feato the cities those who hove no business in them many will be put to much hardship when the industrial situation gets to normal. THE SPARE-TIME COLLEGE. The young man who "gets there'' is the fellow who c&n take advantage of the college of the spare hour. This is the cheapest college on.earth aad is fovnd in every home if it is wanted there. Some of the greatest successes of . llhe nation have had their start in this college and the fact that tney "have been able to leajn enough in it to put them where they are indicates that every youth and lassie In Dillon whose parents are unable to send them to an established institntion of learning can well take adwantage of the Spare Hour College. It :only requires perseverence, dettermlnrtion and possibly guidance by ma elder person. Bilt the results are certain. And if they do not lead to financial or business success?which fe only one kind of success in life mad not necessarily the most desired %ind?the spare hour college may lead what may be termed a successful mind; a mind stored with sufficient knowledge to get under the B?????????? a /' a a- / a , / * a / I KM V jmcLj fa m ffl B m ilS B m B g ffl 11 We have i following i m;! _ g: mew "It D M?I oiirin a i 1 MJ? ?TXVrJ-^Ul*A i?i m c.

TOO MUCH MOXEY. __ Is the world suffering from too much money? It would seem so, judging by the remarks of sundry financial experts who have been delving into the subject and making reports. The cost of living?either low living or high?everywhere is up in the clouds. Many products cost in^money double what they formerly did, as ' ? i?. nilirt,, non ! ?very persuu ill unxvu vu&? vMv.. safe. A great many people believe that the more money there is "in circulation" the greater the prosperity. Perhaps, in a sense, that is true. But it is equally true that the more money there is the more of that money it requires to move goods from the producer to the home. The trouble today seems to be that the world is rich in money, but not in goods. In other countries there are not enough of life's essentials to go around; and even in our own country there are "shortages" and high prices that curtail consumption.

The AmeHcan Cotton Association with the mills, farmers, merchants, bankers, professional and business men as its foundation stone, is pushing the building of warehouses; a warehouse or warehauses f r each county owned and controlled by the people of the county, operated under the State or federal warehouse act. sufficient to h Id the cotton of said county. That is the program they are pushing throughout the length and breadth of the cotton belt, so that the entire South will be dotted with warehouses and the marketing of cott n stretched over a period of twelve months instead of being rushed on the market in the harvesting period o three months, 70 per cent being the average amount of cotton sold i these three months heretofore. The next link will be c ncentration warehouses. The American Cotton Association is forming a bank, export and discount corporation for the purpose of effecting direct sales ' f ?nttnn hoth at home and abroad, their) plans are well laid and it is the consensus of opinion of men who have given lives of ?tudy t"? this great question that the opportune" tin^has itrrived to absolutely-cliange cond' tions whlchhave heretofore existed in the Jj^tfffling of the cotton industry. - Antiquated methods must bri relegqteo t"> the scrap heap; e South-) yn. spot exchange Bhould be estab-j I SIS?

JESSIIIIiSSIISSlllS? lished; New Orleans has a golden op- ' portunlty. Complaints Being Made. t Great complaint' is being iui: t against methods which now exist on i the New York exchange. Manufacit i rers cannot use it for hedging pur- b poses; time and time again its c m- c mittees have recommended that it es- i tablish warehouses of certification in t the South from which cotton could a be delivered for contracts bought on a the New Y rk exchange. Recommen- n dations of this committee were en- e dorsed by leaders of the manufactur- r or? all tn no numose. and as a result t New York has lost her opportunity; If she has killed the goose that laid the I r g lden egg. i New Orleans, by establishing ware i houses of certification at concentra- [ r tion points throughout the cotton belt a by making certain radical changes in 1 the rules and regulations so that a r contract will assure the delivery of \ sp t cotton fro. mthese certified ware- a houses, can become a great spot exchange, absolutely controlling the ? situation. c With warehouses in every county j and parish "throughout the length j and breadth of the cotton belt, op- i crating under the State and federal ( wareh use act, with concentration ^ warehouses, with government grad- j ers for all of these warehouses, we l are facing the most complete change j in the cotton -industry that has ever g occurred since the first slave was sold r for purpose of producing c tton and j which resulted in the South swapping i her birthright for a bitter mess of t pottage The handwriting has appear- , ed on the wall; special committees j I have been appointed by the New Eng- j land spinners to confer with the New j Y rk exchange; special committees , have befit appointed bv the New York ( exchange; great dissatisfaction ex- f ists, not only throughout thg entire , cotton industry, but among the mem ' hers of ihe New York exchange. y Chicago is Bidding. ( Chicago is making a bid for this f business. In a recent address before4lf the Chicago Board Trade, Theodore B. .Price unhesitatingly recommended that Chicago take steps to establish a spot exchange for the entire cotton ( belt, which was tributary t > Chicago ? and not to New York. The Textile World Journal In an f editorial entitled "A Better Contract".| says: . T "That the New Y'ork Cotton Ex- f change c uA perform an important I service to the Industry, and at the r same time tend to correct the very I generally accepted opinion that the [ exchange is operated solely for spec- ' ulative purposes by revising its con- f tract to allow delivery on it of certi- f fied cott n at bonded warehouses [ ih various concentration centers , throughout the country, has been I suggested in these columns at va- r rious times. The same plan has also ) been advocated by c tton . associations, bu* t*re officials of , the | exchange..have never given evidence j that the suggestions warraniea men ? OFfous consideration. Now that the f National Council of American Cotton ? Manufacturers has app inted a mittee to confer with the officials of . a local exchange on this subject it is [ possible and probable that the latter f will at least give it serious thought. ! EES?

This r efor mhas the ndorsement of the manufacturer and a fact, practically every legitimate ine of the cotton industry and will aeet with their cooperation. ^ The cotton producer certainly feels hat New Orleans is the 1 gical point o institute this great reform and an not agree with the statement lade in Chicago that the cotton producing sections of the South are triutary to Chicag . This change will mean that for the irst time cotton with only one comnodity to it?gold?will take ittroper place. The law of supply and demand will mean active competition rom the vari us lines of the cottt^ ndustry fr om the legitimate specu ator and investor. It means that nc onger will cotton be the football of he gambler. This change will renove the manipulator and parasite, .s his opportunity t operate will be e moved. The producer, of course, had no oice in the establishment of the hange in New York in '69; the South eas then bankrupt. Conditions today re far different. They recognize the lecessity f these economic reforms; hey are ready to cooperate and astst in the same. What will New Oreans do? What will the various cities ?f the South do where ttiere are exihanges in operations? What will the hambers of commerce ^o? What will he business raehi of the South d ? Don't forget that not only the prolucer and manufacturer, but, in fact, (very legitimate lin6 of the cotton inlustry will be greatly benefited by his change. J. S.
