Don't Let Hiflh-Priced Cotton
Fool You.
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

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. ^

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

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
