The plan of the St. Louis
bankers to assist cotton farmers
of the South is a further
indication of the nation-wide
interest which is being manifested
in the problems of the
men who follow the plow. The
movement is not intended as a
plan for purchasing cotton, but
is designed rather to make available
a fund of $150,000,000 to
loan on cotton at not to exceed
six cents per pound for the purpose
of making cotton a liquid
asset, stailizing its price and
bringing about normal conditions
again. It has been said
tbat it takes great calamities
to develop our friends and the
present crisis is proof positive
that the farmer has friends in
every line of industry who are
willing to share his misfortunes
and lighten his burdens. Strong
men are strong only as they cooperate
with other men, and the
spirit of friendliness on the part
of the business man towards the
farmer augers well for the
future of the agricultural interests
of the nation.
It is quite a common sight in
South Carolina to see farmers

sum of money to buy an automobile
and it takes pood roads,
as well as gasoline, to run them.
A joy ride in the harvest fields
of this State is one of the most
exhilarating experiences that is

A good place to feel the pulse
of civic life is at the public
drinking trough. The ebb and
llow of animal life, as it quenches
its thirst at the public fountain
gives us an estimate of the
wealth, population and prosperity
of the community; the1
character, habits and occupations !
of its people and the utility,
pleasure and hardships of its
citizens. There is no better
place to study the progress of
the community than at the town
pump. Every village in South
Carolina should have a town
punip and every city with waterworks
should have a drinking
fountain where a stream of pure
running water freely dispenses
Adams ale to the thirsty oopulace.
Pure water and plenty of
it is a community builder.
y There are a laige number of
useless dogs running about
town. They are no good to their
owners and no Rood to the community
at large. They keep up
a barking and yelping at night,
scare children, frighten horses,
and make themselves a nuisance
in general.

States are against the war not

but because the war is increasing
the taxes on this side of the
Atlantic. We had plenty of tax
trouble without outside assistance.
The war is forcing a reorganization
and shaking down process
all over the world. Every nation
will have to look to its finances,
whether it is at war or not. Not
one of them is in such good condition
as the United States.
Favors Big Bond Issue.
The issue of $35,000,000 in
bonds for the purchase of cotton
by the State of South Carolina
was authorized in a bill passed
by the State Senate Wednesday
! by a vote of 25 to 4. The bill
now goes to the House.
The measure provides for expending
the proceeds either in
direct purchase of cotton at
10 cents a pound or by loans at
9 cents a pound.
In the event the measure is
finally adopted it must be submitted
to a referendum of the
people on November 3 and a
two-thirds majority of the qualified
voters of the State must
favor it before it becomes eflfect:

Transfers Mill Help.
A Chester despatch says that
Col. Leroy Springs, owner of the
Springstein cotton mill, which
last week closed down indefinitely,
has transfered the force to
the Eureka mill, his other large
Chester mill, and has the wheels
running night and day. This
mill does not make gingham and
Col. Springs says that the mill
shall run at least several months
night and day. He says that he
is willing to finance the mill to
his limit in order to provide for
his faithful empioyes.
This puts Chester in good
shape in so far as the mills are
concerned. The other Chester
mill, the Wylie, owned by the
Parker merger, is a big one. and
has been running at top speed
for the past few weeks.

Real Live Snakes for Sale.
Mr. Jas. H. Potts, a well known
residens of this city, while commenting
to some hearers a few
days ago on the present unsetj
tied conditions and the prospectI
ive hard times, fascetiously remarked
that he would buy live
snakes, paying from $1 for the
common black snake to $5 for
rattlers. His offer, going the
rounds, reached the ears of an
old darky who saw therein the
| opportunity to pick up a few doll
lars as side-money^ in these times
when snakes are plentiful and
dollars are scarce. Bunching his
wits, the old negro soon had a

and made haste to town to receive
the reward. In the pres;

citizens, it was hard for Mr.
Potts to make explanations and

darky , by paying him 25 cents
for his trouble. Mr. Potts has
withdrawn his offer, but the old
darky assured him that other industrious
snake catchers were at
work and probubly would have
reptiles galore on the market
within the next few days.
