As this is written cotton is bringing over eleven cents a pound all over the South, and the price seems to be still going up. This, of course, where a man has lived at home this year as he should, means {rood times; but there is danger that highpriced cotton will make us forget all about war. low prices, and all our nrave resolutions anu lend us into our old-time all- ; cotton follies. Let's look at this thing squarely , friend: It isn't the number of bales of cotton we make that counts, but our net profits when the year's work is done. Nor in figuring our net profits must we for a moment forget that unless we are soil-building rather than soil-robbing farmers, we are not i following the most rational, profitable system. In other words regardless of how much cotton we may make, it is as certain as death and taxes that, unless we raise plenty of corn, meat "and hay, along with clovers, peas1 and beans to make our lands rich, we are on the down-grade that ends in failure. We are sounding this warn- \ ing because now is the time to plan next year's work, and any r\lonu q t'oiiltt* I h-it <l/v iwvt in I'icauo cmi v? lauiij mat uw iivt inelude living at home, soil-building, and rigid economy in all expenditures. For this reason, even if cotton goes to twenty cants, it is- nothing more than ' good business sense to plant a big acreage in oats this fall, with a cover crop of oats, rye. clover v or vetch on every possible acre. ?Progressive Farmer. A town is just what its citizens , make it. The town may have all the natural advantages possible, but if its people have no civic pride and no public spirit the town will never amount to much. This country atTords many instances of places of that character that have been left high and dry in the progress of events because their inhabitants did not care a rod cent whether the place lived or died. On the other hand, if a town is peopled ' by alert and progressive men and women, intent upon its prosperity, that place is bound to grow, even if it has but few natural advantages. All over this land towns have sprung up and become the centers of activity and success, for the sirn-' nln rnucan t hot u'l/lnnurn l/o iuw\t\in |/iv i uuuv/ij v-iacti >? with go>d ied blood in their veins pushed things and won out. How true it is that comfort may be extracted from even the most distressing circumstances. Nothing can exceed t.he discomforts and horrors of war, yet the present tragedy in Europe is teaching millions of people to economize who never would have done it but for the adversities now upon them. In most cai>os the lesson thus gained will continue to be carried out for all time after the war is over. In this land there are thousands of families that would be better off th 1 every way if more economy were practiced, and it should be done voluntarily, and not through the compu Ision of war. ' 1 Give us men with public spirit, with the Welfare of the whole community at heart; with encouragement for every laudable enterprise; with assistance for MAvtLiMrl nrnl fi foolinnr r?f I Xl<ll I ft 11IU clUU rvii.li u iiviiu^ VTA. pride for the town in v.hich they live; with charity in their hearts as large as their pocketbooks; with a kindly feeling for home newspapers, and then support and aid them. Such men we need: such are admired; such men go about the world through rosy pathways, and never a frown o'ershadows their brow, but they are happy in the supreme knowledge that they have done the best they could?they worked for their fellowman and ' thereby assisted themselves. Merchants who keep the public most closely informed about their store news reap the largest business. Publicity is essential to commerci?I success. In some form or other every business that brought rich returns for the proprietor was extensively and persistently advertised. The history of business successes show it. ^ Pastors to Visit Churches.

P, Hair, For Com mittee. Prominent Planter Passes. Frank C. Whitner, of Rock Hill, one of York county's most prominent men and most progressive and successful farmers, died in a hospital in Richmond, Va., on last Wednesday, October ( 20. Mr. Whitner had been in poor health for about two years, , but the immediate cause of his death was meningetis. The remains were shipped to Rock Hill for burial. 1 Mr. Whitner was born in An- i derson county on October 11, ' 1859. He and his brother, W. C. Whitner. located in Rock Hill in 1899. He was a graduate of the law department of the 1 University of Virginia but never I practiced his protession, turning his attention to farming, at i which he was very successful, having a few miles north of Rock Hill, one of the most beautiful farms in this sectior. Mr. Whitner is survived by his father, Major B. F. Whitner; two brothers, W. C. Whitner of Rock Hill, and Harry Whitner of Roanoke, Va., and one sister, Mrs. W. L. Law also of Rock Hill. The Southern's New Schedule. The new schedule of the Southern Railway and the inauguration of its new through Pullman train between Washington and Augusta, Ga., became effective on last Sunday. As a result of the change, the local southbound train No. 35, now leaves Charlotte at 5:00 a. m. arrives in Fort Mill 5:38, arrives Columbia 9:00 a. m. Southbound train, No. 31, the through Pullman train, leaves Charlotte at 7:00 a. m., arrives Fort Mill at 7:30 a. m., and reaches Columbia at 10:05 a. m. Passengers wishing to board this train at Fort Mill should bear in mind the fact that it stops here only when flagged. Also that this train makes stops between1 9 We are the ^ Fort Mill I Agents for I More than 125 bott Fort Mill and Columbia only at Rock Hill, Chester, Winnsboro j and Ridgeway, the latter also: being a flag stop. Northbound train No. 32. the through Pullman train, now leaves Columbia at 4:25 p. m., arrives Fort Mill at 7:01 p. m., arrives Charlotte at 7:35 p. m. Fort Mill is also a flag stop for; this train which makes no stop! between this city and Charlotte. Northbound local train. No. 28. leaves Columbia at present at 6:40 p. m., arrives in Fort Mill at 10:03 p. m. The change of schedule is virtually a swapping of the running times between the through and local trains, but Fort Mill has been given one worthy advantage in the change, that being that southbound train No. 35 now takes up mail at this point, whereas before only a locked pouch was delivered from the train nnd none was taken J p. Mr. B. I. Walker, a well known citizen of Bethel township, died at his home three miles east of Clover Tuesday morning. His leath was due to heart trouble. TAX NOTICE?1915.
