The Spartanburg Journal sounds a timely note of warning when it says:l the good price ol cotton will nring the agents of high and low degree 11? see the farmers with all sorts of things to sell, and farmers should remember that agents and companies with furniture, crockery and household articles are not going to give them away nor will they sell them below their value. They are after the money every time and they will make it out of you. Beware of these plain simple contracts on one side of a small sheet of paper. When you sign it you bind yourself to what is on the other side, the print is generally so small that you can scarcely read it. That is the dangerous part of the contract. The farmer should never talk business to strangers. When they come around ask them lor references and then tell them to call at some future day. They will give you up as a hard case. In dealing with distant concerns get their hnanctal rating. There are many fraudulent companies which advertise cheap goods. Let them alone. Of course there are reputable houses in all large cities which will deal fairly with you and it will be safe to order from them, when you need articles not kept in the home stores. With cotton above twelve cents, there will be a considerable amount of money scattered over the country and it will be a fair bait to attract these irresponsible agents who have the best things in the wor'd and they are offering you the only chance you will ever have. Alwuvs turn down men who are selling below cost just to introduc their goods. '1 hey are frauds and deceivers." The King's Mountain Celebration. Fort Mill and vicinity will he represented by a number of people at King's Mountain, N. C., on Tuesday, October 7, the occasion being the 123rd anniversary of the Battle of King's Mountain. Our people feel an interest in this celebration because of the fact that the battle took place on South Carolina soil. Hon. William Jennings Bryan, secretary of State in President Wilson's cabinet, will be the nrincipal orator of the day. Governor Locke Craig will also be present, as well as other prominent men from various parts of the country. The 17th United States infantry band will furnish music for the occasion. There will be athletic contests of various kinds and other amusements will be provided. It is expected that the celebration will surpass in point of attendance and enthusiasm any celebration ever held. Special rates will be granted by the railroads. Interest in the event is widespread and it promises to be a marker in the way of a celebration. Insanity Triumphant. Statistics purporting to show that the human race gradually is becoming insane and the prediction that the time | will come when there will be no more 4 births were made before the American Public Health association at Colorado Springs, Colo., recently by Dr. J. H. C Kellog, of Battle Creek, Mich. According to Dr. Kellog's view the birth rate is decreasing in a manner that ultimately will bring it to the | vanishing point. The accomplishments of modern science, the speaker declared, are bringing about race degeneracy by saving the weaklings. "To regain our lost estate," he added, "we should get back to nature. We must cultivate health instead of disease." * Securing of funds for public health work, particularly for combatting tuberculosis, through popular vote by the use r.f the referendum, was advocated by various speakers on tuberculosis. Because only a very few trustees gave their attendance at the meeting that was to have been held last Saturday, not enough to constitute a guorum, the meeting was postponed until a date to be announced later. The lack of attendance is thought to have been due largely to the reluctance of most of the trustees to take their attention from the gathering of the crops especially at a time when their presence at home aermed unusually important. ?
