For the fanner who owes nothing for supplies, or any other debts incurred during the year, j it would seem foolish to sell cotton at a price lower than the cost of production, for by holding he may realize a profit of $10 a bale, and this would make him feel very good. But those who are in debt cannot afford to hold the staple and wait for higher prices. If they do not want to sell at present they should place their I cotton in a warehouse and borrow a sufficient amount of money to adjust matters with their creditors. There is nothing which causes so much ill feeling among men and at the same time causes business to become more stagnant than the habit of put- > ting off the payment of one's debts. In fact, paying debts is mnef eoticfQ/ifftrv fhinCT a LUC IIIUOW Ctt UUl UV VV* J ? j man can do when he is able, and no one with one or more bales of cotton laying around can truthfully say that he is unable to pay his debts. It is disgusting to see some of the newspapers of the State striving to make the public believe that there is a breach between Senator Tillman and Governor Blease, and extremely nauseating is it to those who know the real motive of those who are trying to create this impression. It is purely a scheme of the politicians to accomplish the defeat, of Governor Blease in the primary next year. There is not, nor has there been, any unfriendliness between the senator and governor, and those papers who some years ago fought Senator Tillman to the last ditch and lost, and are now swinging to his coattail in the hope that the Tillmanites will^ turn their backs on Bleafee next year, will find that the voters of South Carolina are entirely too intelligent to be lead astray by any such political trickery. Some timely ar.d valuable advice was handed the farmers of South Carolina a few days ago by the executive members of the Farmer's Union in meeting at Columbia. Advice was given to the farmers not to buy any fertilizers or fertilizing materia! at present prices, and. even at a greatly reduced price, say that it would be best to materially reduce the amount used next year for the reason that much residue of this year's heavy fertilizing will be available in next year's crop. The union also recommends that large areas of land be put to small grain and other provision crops. This is sensible talk and if followed by the farmers of the State there would be little grumbling next fall about high priced provisions and low priced cotton. "If the Carolinas and Georgia would carry their own insurance risks for ten years, there would be at the end of that time banks in them able to finance a twenty or forty million railroad project."?The State. And. on the side, they could shove up a few millions to relieve the farmers of the starvation prices that now obtain for their principal money crop. If, at any time within the next six months, Brodie L. Duke, the millionaire tobacco manufacturer desires to correspond with his father-in-law, L. S. Rochelle, he will probably address his letters "Leander S. Rochelle, County Jail, Durham, N. C." The old man was sent up a few days ago for retailing, according to a press despatch. The Times would like to borrow $150 and offers to shove up as collateral 150 gilt edged promises of 150 subscribers who "will pay you up as soon as I sell my next bale." The Elections Tuesday. Elections Tuesday were held in many cities and States throughout the country with results showing little indication of a widespread wave of public senti^ ment. Governor Foss, Democrat, was reelected in Massachusetts, by a reduced plurality, while meagre returns indicate that other Democratic candidates on the State ticket are slightly behind their Republican opponents. In Rhode Island early returns ndicated the reelection of Gov- ! |~ jrnor Pothier, Republican, by a | slightly increased majority. New York State elected a! General Assembly which will have a Republican majority of about 30. New Jersey elected a Legislature which will give continued support to Governor Wilson, but the legislative majorities are in ioubt. The municipal elections in Ohio resulted in a landslide for the Democrats. Kentucky, which has hereto' no Lonnrlnnr lure ueeii cuuaiucicu ao iiai>6iu6 in the balances, elected a Democratic governor by a majority of possibly 40,000, as well as a Democratic Legislature. The result in the new State of New Mexico is still in doubt between the Republican and Democratic candidates for governor. Early returns from the city of Charleston, S. C., indicated that Jno. B. Grace had won out by a small majority in his race for mayor against T. T. Hyde. Sixteen out of 22 precincts had been heard from. iS The Law as to Trespass. ^ For the benefit of those who are not posted in the law as to * trespassing, we print below a 1 section of the law upon the sub- 4 ject. It would be well for hunt- < ers to read this section carefully. 1 The 1912 Code of Laws, Sec tion 717, which is based on an H act cf 1905, reads partly as fol- i lows: 4 "If any person, at any time < whatsoever, shall hunt or range < on any lands, or shall enter there on for the purpose of hunting, . fishing or trapping, without the < consent of the owner or manager < thereof, every such person so i offending shall forfeit and pay a < fine of not more than twenty dollars or be imprisoned at hard ? labor not more than thirty days i for each and for every such < offense." < A part of Section 7U4 ot tne | < same code, which is based on an j act of 1910, reads as follows: "It shall be unlawful to shoot, 4 chase, trap or catch any partridge 4 or wild turkey between the first < day of March and the fifteenth j day of November." ? Shop Early and Avoid the Rash. To some it may appear a little early to begin to talk about Christmas shopping, nevertheless it is good policy to shop early when buying for the holidays. By beginning in plenty of time you have better selections, and can think just what each member of the family would like, and not have to take just anything as a dernier resort. Not only this but there is a weightier reason still, it is more economical j and most people spend more than they expect at this season any- J way;?these are the selfish rea- '> sons. Now on the other hand by < early shopping you help the j clerks, who are always rushed at Christmas; the carrier boys, who have endless journeys, it seems, to make; and even the proprietors themselves have more work at this time. Then again you will have more time for consideration ] of the needs of the poor, and i charity will fill a larger space on ( your list. There is only one per- , son that we have ever known to absolutely obey this injunction to ] the letter, and she had all of her packages tieu with Christmas ribbon, and addressed in the month of September. Take this as an example, and get through with Christmas shopping. It is wise, it is thrifty, it is kind. Mill News of Local Interest. ! Textile Manufacturer.
