W* Wi- - NOTE AND COMMENT.
A North Carolina contempoBBrarf
eoroes forward with an j
^BWireiy new plan for raising the
Hpries of cotton. It suggests that
jHpveryonc who is able buy a bale
Vaf cotton, lay it away, ana wait
ftr highev prices. Doubtless
an. thousands of people
every county who could buy
bate of cotton each and not |
I Inconvenienced in the least by
I le Amount of money tied up
^Thereto, end ;if this plan was
I Adopted in every county in the
' Cotton bilt several million bales
would be stored away. It is
( argued on all sides that the only
' meant of boosting the price is to
stop selling, and the above suggestion
of the North Carolina
paper it therefore not without
weight i
'ldI_B ...
Friday's -issse of the Chester
Lantern contained the announcei,rent
that Mr. W. F. Caldwell
hpd sold his interest in the paper
t*a company to be known as the
Lantern Publishing company,
and that as soon as arrangement
could be made Mr. Caldwell will
move to Columbia, where he will
work for the News and Courier as
correspondent. Mr. Caldwell
has bCen at the helm of The
Lantern for three years and has
been issning a paper which wasvalued
very highly as one of the
exchanges which reach this office.
The Times regrets to learn
that he is to leave Chester, but
wishes for him every success in i
the new position which he is
soon to accept i j
^g.1 . .
A subscriber to The Times
'phones the paper to know if the
present York road law provides,
or requires, that the mayor of
the town and the township supervisor
rake the roots, rocks and
rubbish from the ditches into the
middle of the public roads. Not
being posted in the matter, we
take the liberty to pass the question
on to the authorities for
answer.
About the best plan we know
of for getting a living price
for cotton next year is for
the farmers of the South to raise
only corn, sorghum and small
??in and buy their cotton at 8
cents from the Wall street farm'
ers. We feel sure that by doing
this the next cotton crop would
sell for about 20 cents per pound.
Many Elections Necessary.
Much of the time of the general
assembly which convenes j
early in January will be consumed
with elections. There are a num-,
ber of important positions to be
filled and a number of citizens
I are already being discussed for
the places. The friends of those
mentioned have begun to prepare,
for the battle of ballots among:
the members of the general assembly.
Among the most important
elections will be those for the
justiceships of the supreme court.
Ira B. Jones, of Lancaster, has
resigned as chief justice and
several lawyers have been mentioned
for his place. He will
retire from the bench on January
9, the day before the legislature
convenes. An additional justice
will be elected as provided by
the constitutional amendment of
1911. The legislature failed to
elect this justice at the last session,
a deadlock lasting for several
weeks with the vote for those
leading in the ballots unchanged.
The same' candidates, and others,
will probably again be in the
race for this position. The term
OI A. *Y uuus, aaauLiatc jusuvc, i
expires next year. At the last
session of the general assembly
the constitutional amendment
providing for a tenure of ten
years for supreme court justices
was adopted.
Three circuit judges will be
elected at the next session of the
next general assembly. The
terms of Judge J. W. DeVore, of
the 11th circuit and Judge S. W.
G. Shipp of the 12th circuit will
expire next year. They will be
re-elected, it is believed. A successor
to the late Judge J. C.
Klugh of the eighth circuit will
h*?
There will be two vacancies on
the board of directors of the
State penitentiary. The terms
of J. D. Deas, of Camden, and
W. H. Glenn, of Anderson, will
expire.
The general assembly will
elect a State librarian. The only
candidate announced so far is
Miss L. H. LaBorde, who has
filled the position acceptably for i
the past several years. <
F. H. McMaster is the only; I
candidate announced for the <
commissioner of the State in-1
surance department. He was \
the first insurance commissioner
elected and has built up a strong ,
department. \
The records in the office of the (
secretary of State failed to show |
just how many trustees of the ,
State institutions will be elected <
at the next session of the general j
assembly. The trustees often |
fail to qualify when elected, .
which causes the records to be
very incomplete. Mr. McCown |
has repeatedly called attention (
to this negligence on the part of (
those elected. }
During next year there will be ,
a number of important appoint- ,
ments by the governor. The ]
most important is that of com- |
missioner of commerce, agricul- (
ture and industries/ The place j
I is now held by E. J. Watson, who ,
has built up one of the strongest ,
I departments in the South?The
State. I

Another Cotton Picker.
A despatch from Sumter to '
the Columdia Record says that ,
an invention that may prove sue- (
cessful and if so of immense ser- 1
vice to cotton growers of the j
South is that of Mr. V. M. Din- ]
kins, a young man employed on
Mr. L. D. Jennings' place several
miles out from the city. The
invention is a cotton picker
operated on the suction plan. The
! picker has been given a trial and j '
several weak points have been
found in it, but it is reported to
have cleaned approximately 90
per cent of the cotton out of the
bolls where it went along.
The trial given the picker came
off last week, but as no patents
covering the invention have yet
been applied for no information
as to the workings of the machine
will be given for publication
yet. 1 he machine was
working by placing a gasoline
engine, which furnished the pow- '
pr fnrthp suction, on an ordinary '
double horse wagon, the latter
being used as receptacle for the
cotton as it was picked out of the
fields.
War-Time Price*.
Mention the exorbitant charges
for many of the present staple
commodities of the people and
there is a long waiting list of
enthusiastic defenders of our
modern prosperity who have quotations
of war-time prices ready
for deliverance for purposes of
comparison Leaving aside the 1
fact that such a contrast cannot
reasanably be made between the
tendencies of trade at times of
war and at times of eminent
peace, it is interesting to refute
the cry with some facts that have >
been unearthed by a Richmond
antiquarian:
In war times a barrel of flour ,
could be purchased for $4.10; the
present price is $7.75. j
TJ?r* r,4- fV><-> linifl rvf tlio VI'ar

sold for 14 cents a pound; the (
present price is 20 to 28 cents a j
pound.
Butter sold then for 15 to 20 ,
cents. The present price is 30
to 45 cents a pound. i
Beef sold then for 61-2 ctnts
a pound. The present price is ^
15 cents. 5
Coffee could be purchased for (
13 to 16 cents a pound. The pres- j
ent price is 20 to 40 cents. j
Lard sold for 8 to 12 cents a
pound. The present price is 12
to 15 cents.
Molasses sold for 30 to 35 cents
a gallon. * The present price is 35
to 60 cents. ? Charlotte Observer.

It it a Tail-lets Comet?
Has the comet which has been j
appearing in the eastern sky for i
the last few mornings got a tail. I
or is it tail-less? This is the 1
question that is causing a good
deal of interesting debate on the 1
part of those who have arisen ]
in the wee small hours to see the i
- i
flaming beacon. >
The comet is described as being 1
about three times as large as the 1
largest planet, shining brilliantly
in the sky about three hours <
high at 5 o'clock when the Hunt- }
er of the East begins to cast his i
stones. The comet is the very t
last to take flight and shines till S
well after 5 o'clock, afier the r
other stars have all disappeared. I
But how about its tail ?well, ?
some say they have seen that, t
too. Stretching straight up into
the heavens they say it has a 1
beautiful appearance, being long <
and flimsy and about the size of >
Halley's tail when it first ap- 1
peared. However, quite a num- r
ber of people arose to look toward 1
the east and saw the comet but1 i
not the tail. c
Newsy Notes from Gold Hill.
Correspondence Fort Mill Times. J.
Mrs. Tirzah Faris is quite sick v
at this writing.
We learn that Sam C. Faris is ,
preparing to take a trip to Texas ^
in the near future.
The continued rains nave sei g
the farmers back with their work j
considerably. (
Already the hunters are on the i
move. We heard of a certain (
young man who lives over on the
river who went out gunning re- t
cently and he jumped two hun- c
dred rabbits on one acre of land. ^
He didn't say whether he slew
them all oronly half of them and c
presently he saw a crane coming. t
He leveled old Betsy on him and c
brought him down and he measured
him and found him to be 14 j.
feet from tip to tip. t
Now if our Fort Mill preachers,
who are such noted hunters,
could come up with such a field
of rabbits as this young man
fbund they might procure a sup- :
ply of meat for the winter. Of
course we can't engage in the *
chase as formerly, but are glad
to inform you that we* are a first- g
class setter. S.

Jnlawful to Sell Toy Pistols and Caps.
That the Christmas season is'
bear at hand it will be well for
;hose merchants who handle holilay
toys and fireworks to remember
that the sale of toy pistols
ind caps is forbidden by law in
South Carolina. The following
aw upon the subject was passed
by the legislature several years
igp:
'It shall be unlawful for any
person, firm or corporation, in
this State, to sell, keep for sale,
br offer for sale, or give away,
any toy pistol in which caps or
cartridges are used, or any caps
br cartridges for such toy pistols.
Every person, firm or corporation
violating the provisions of
this section shall, upon conviction,
be fined one hundred dollars
br be imprisoned for a term not
to exceed thirty days."
This law Was deemed necessary
because of the death of numbers
bf children in this and other
States from the careless handling
of these toy pistols and car-!
tridges. In the city of Norfolk
it was said that twenty boys:
died one Christmas season from
particles of the cartridges entering
their hands and causing blood
poisoning.
Got 17 1-2 Cents for His Cotton.
Interesting to all growers and
prospective growers of cotton,
either short or long staple, is the
statement of the experience of
Capt. W. B. Lowrance, of this
city, with the "Columbia" cotton
during the past year, says the |
Columbia Record. This is one
of the species of long staple cotton.
"I sold my cotton a few weeks
ago at 171-2 cents," says Mr.
Lowrance, "when ten cents was
the very top of the market for
good middling. I sold a few
days ago at 161-2 cents when
8.85 was top. I made this year
a bale to a bale and a half to the
acre with ordinary fertilizing,
say 500 pounds to the acre. One
thousand four hundred pounds of
seed cotton turned out 475 pounds
lint. The cotton was ginned on
ordinary saw gins. Other cotton
alongside mine rusted badly,
shedded off and nearly all ripened
ir. September; mint did not rust
and kept green and growing right
along and is green today."
Our Attitude Toward Dancing.
Editor Fort Mill Times:
Whether or not, in the article
which appeared in your last issue,
"Observer" meant to include the
undersigned among those church
members, who encourage dancing,
we desire to say very emphatically
to the readers of The
Times that we have never, by
word or by action, "winked at,"
"directly or indirectly" encouraged
dancing. It has received
from us nothing but frowns and
disapproval, and has caused us
many heartaches. We love the
dancer, therefore we hate dancing.
Nor do the great branches of
the church which we represent
"wink at," "directly or indirectly"
encourage this gross evil.
We also, with "Observer,"
greatly lament the fact that
some of the merfibers of the
ihurches, which we have the
lonor of serving, do engage in
;his subtile and blighting evil.

The farmers are finishing up

Averts Awful Tragedy.
Timely advice given Mrs. C. Wilough- (
by, of Marengo, Wis., (R. No. 1) prevented
a dreadful tragedy and saved <
two lives. Doctors had said her fright- ,

and could do little to help h?*r. After
many remedies failed, her aunt urged
her to take Dr. King's New Discovery.
"I have been using it for some time,"
she wrote "and the awful cough has
almost gone. It also saved my little
boy when taken with a severe bronchial
trouble." This matchless medicine has
no equal for throat and lung trouble.
