Once upon a time there was an old woman about to die, who confessed B that hei- condition was due to fear \ hiijfcs that had never happened.' a lot of old women of both ) sexe^ in this class, Burrounding usi at thf present time. | Some papers seem to take delight In proclaiming how many mills are closing, and how many people arej being thrown out of work. They enlarge upon 22 1-2 per cent wage reductions without reckoning that' even that reduction is a mere cur-' tailment of luxuries, and that the! reiiiabiing wage is still self-supporting.VThe reduced wage is met by the reduced cost of living. I Results of Election I The papers do not remind their > readers of the extensions that have| been made to plunts, of the inachln-j, ery Installed, of the housing for bet-! teuiRiht of employes, insuring com-', fcrt and up-to-date outfits when the,, turn comes. They do not remind ! I you that the war is over, that the , daily toll of tlie dead at the battle front has ceased* that our boys are ( home, that our crops have been ex-'j l cellent, and that prices, though re-| duced for our products, exceed the!, average for ten years; that there is', no pestilence in the land, that we;i | are an energetic people; and if oneij reflects upon the immigration reach-j, ing our shores?the rush is due to j the thought that here is a country ' of opportunity, of milk and honey, j ot great possibilities; that individual el tort is recognized, that our homes ( are full ot comfort, our lands full of vegetation ar.d cattle. i( Our^tcent election promises to re-, suit jJCA repeal of the excess profits t* ?, reduction of heavy sur- ( jj^SyV^?Shhh.c'(''"es: a large part of the , nV *\ "e f# accomplished; our Vic\ ' n*? driin bo refunded; our exc? e ,vJtage dop^i many criminally in-' v .ersona^abuc servants will be disand We will have u protective tlTiir.

Since he has been in office Sheriff Bethea has been compelled to de-' vote the most of his time to running j down cotton thieves. As one Dillonite r" serves, it is cheaper to steal it uny grvsent conditions than to makel ilwfl that may in a measure account I fo?Xhe numerous cotton thefts of J th?jr^jst week. WV. Bethea had three bales stolen 1 just after Christmas and last week t h rPo mnro hnlpu Hioonnoo t* v? ^ ' ..?.r|.v.tvu. 1 lie mat<|*r was reported to Sheriff Bethe^who took up the trail and ar-| rest yd Pete Bethea, Matthew Hinson | and'Sue McFarland, all colored. Tlieyj are in the county jail awaiting the; February term of court. Miss Mary Carmichael lost four four bales last week, and Bubberj Stackhouse, Barney Stackhouse, , Grady Blue and Leno Breeden are; in the county Jail charged with the crime. The officers have reason to , believe that Pete Stackhouse, who is, charged with being directly connect-1 ell with the stenline nf Mr A v r?*?

It was decided that as an organ!-] satjon was formed last year and that is stock had been subscribed to the smiount of $5,000, and 20 per cent af that amount paid in. it was best to g^t all the stockholders together j tnd let them decide what they want-1 ?(1 to do at this time. The directors, R, M. Oliver, A. J. Carmichael, C. L. Wheeler, T. S. Richbourg and L. Cott ingham as elected on the day of Lite organisation, did not build the potato house as directed for two reasons, as follows: "First, because it was found that there had not been, tmough money subscribed to buy a plot of ground and build the house: 1 second, there were no potatoes plant-; ed to fill a house an,i it was only logical to conclude that money would be laved to put off building the house until the spring of 1921. A resolution was passed at the meeting Saturday asking that all the stockholders in the Potato Storage [Jo., meet at the court house Saturlay morning at 11 o'clock. Jan. 22nd, [or the purpose of either going ahead pi* receiving back the money paid in t>y them. The average value of sweet pota-' (oes raised in South Carolina last, rear was $125.S5 per acre. One man it Cades, S. C.. a Mr. Thomas, proiuced about 300 bushels per acre and sold his entire output in Greenville, 5 C., at a fancy price. His average was over $100 per acre. A full meeting is desired. If action is to b(. taken it must be done at once in order that farmers may prepare to plant their potatoes upon a certainty tlrat they will have facilities for curing them. L. Cottinghnm. SHOUT SEIJiKRS BKTTI u; ON IlKi 4'OTTON Cltor IN 1?2I. Clemson College, Jan. 13. ? The bureau of markets of the Georgia department of agriculture in a late Pfceinber issue of its weekly bulletin presents clearly (lie rase in regard to the low price of cotton, says Mr. \V. W. Long, director of the Extension Service of Cleinson College, in further urging the need for reduction of the 1921 cotton crop. "As this bulletin goes to the press you can buy all the cotton you want for next October delivery in New York at 1-1.30 cents a pound. Cotton delivered at New York is worth nearly a cent a pound more than at Georgia shipping points. A cash margin of two cents per pound is required. This bureau has never encouraged our people to speculate and does not do so now. The niun who will sell you cotton at the above slated price for October delivery is the gambling short sy-'Her who does not produce a pound of cotton and is permitted under unwise law to sell something which does not exist. This gambler who has so long been a parasite on cotton is willing to bet that you will go ahead and raise another normal crop of cotton in 1921. This gambler knows that export triple in cotton is not functioning now, due to financial disturbance in Europe. He figures that with our normal expert demand suspended, that you will produce a 1921 cotton crop in excess of the demand and that he, therefore, can make money betting at these figures. "The gambler is willing to bet that. wt. lack tlie common sense to curtail our production so that it will not exceed the demand of a temporarily crippled market. "\Ve of the south know that we should not produce over half a cotton erop this year. It has been carefully figured out that if no farmer shall plant more than one-third of his cultivated land to cotton in 1021 that We will not produce over half a crop, or approximately six million bales. "Let us once and for all prove to the cotton gamblers who are taking advantage of our situation that we have got sense and manhood to protect ourselves and families." o Mo\e to Abolish Commission. t i A petition signed by the citizens has been presented to the county del-j egation requesting them to intro-' /Inor.

Th0 argument is advanced that two governing bodies in the town are unweildy, and that better results can l>e obtained if all municipal business j is placed in the hands of one govern-; ing body which could be held directly; responsible for the management of. the town's affairs.
