The financial independence of the producer has, at length, placed his mental attitude 'among the tnore important factors that finally determine the price of cotton, llence it seems well to keep in touch with how he is viewing current events, and what these views forecast as to the future. What will it cost to grow the crop of American cotton this year? This question is now uppermost in the minds of growers. There never was a time in the history of cotton production when it so vitally concerned ' civ ilization as it does today. Obvious world conditions make it so. It costs $4 5 per month to feed one plow ani mai. r,aoor cusis sunieuuug uiuici than ?100 per month and the supply! is uncertain and inefficient even at that. Planting seed costs from $1.50 to $20 per ton and the quality is indifferent. In fact, every item that enters into the cost of production is higher than was ever known before. Based on the average yield of the Idst five years, the price of these items indicate a co?? if something like 50 cents per po The reac-1 lionary speculative element will hard-J ly believe this, nor is it likely to be believed by a large section of the; 5i inning industry in this country and j in England, especially those of the industry who follow the lead of such economists as Professor J. A. Todd, j ho recently stated that it cost 25 I cents per pound to grow the crop of j l''10( 'and, incidentally, embarrassed, us by not offering a single vestige of: evident to support this statement, al though it involved a matter of the' most serious importance. However, what these reactionaries and these alien economists and their Followers think as to the cost of trrowintr the eron is wholly unimnor lant, and it has been so for quite a long time. Thousands of farmers. | merchants and bankers?the real Lmilders of the South?believe thnt the cost of production this year will be 50 cents per pound and more, rheir view, and their view alone, is important. For the history of recent rears makes it evident that whatev?r they conclude as to the cost will definitely determine the course of pricesi and not the conclusion of relction'aries either at home or abroad. The producers know all about the big profits made by the mills in this country and in England. While they ire more acutely alive to what this crop is going to cost than ever before they are just as much alive to the difference between what they are receiving for their cotton and what they are paying for it when they buy it back in the shape of manufactured product. It is quite the practice now for the farmer when he buys a piece of cotton goods to weigh it and figure out just what percentage (his[ tltuerence amounts to. The result is; often electrifying and is frequently' the subject of the widest comment, j Whenever money pets tight among: the speculative interest in the large centers and rates go up. the South is now participating very largely in the loans extended to relieve such situations. In view of the fact that these loans are made from a surplus above what the busines of the South requires, there is an amazing inconsistency in assuming that one of the stupid products of the South is going to be depressed by these financial disturbances. Yet this is just what i.5 assumed by the seller every liniej c-oiton contracts break on account of light money in the big centers. 11.o cotton producers are better informed now than ever before as to the cause of these financial disturbances. They know thai the Snuth is loaning a steadily increasing amount of its surplus money to relieve tlure; lilting financial distress. They fie j qiieiifly point out the utter absurdity ( of expecting cotton whose economicposition is essentially sound, to suffer l.-t cause -a speculative position j foreign to cotton has proven to be os-; sentiafl\ unsound.

The Dillon County Federation of Women's Clubs held its ninth meeting in the school auditorium at Fork Saturday, May 1st. 1!?2U. In the absence of the president Mrs. L. Cottingham, the third vice president, Mrs. LeRoy Rogers, presided. The meeting was called to order at eleven o'clock and invocation offered by Rev Arfail. The Federation was graciously welcomed by Mrs. Chas. Taylor, and a happy response made oy miss Julia Alford. The Jordan Music Company of Mullins rendered several splendid musical numbers at different times during the program. A report from the loan fund was made by the chairman, Mrs. John Hargrove. She reported $95.00 (ninety five dollars) on hand. A motion was made and carried that each club pay $2.50 (two dollars and fifty cents) which would raise the sufficient amount, instead of the larger amounts previously pledged. Discussion of whether onee or twice a jear would be best for the Federation to meet, resulted in waiting until the fall meeting to decide definitely. Names of committees were read as follows: Legislative, Mrs. J. D. Lane, Mrs. John Hargrove, Mrs. E. C. Major, Resolutions: Mrs. K. S. Rogers, Mrs. J. C. Adams, Miss Virginia Thompson.
