The South ! Salvation. J ?
Only through a continued de- r
velopment of diversified farm- f 1
in* can the South attain its j
largest measure of prosperity, v
As a one-crop system, cotton has * ^
meant economic slavery to the ( *
producer and mental thralldom . ^
to the South, which has thought
in terms of cotton to such an extent
that its educational and re- 0
ligious contributions are largely \ 0
? influenced by the ups and downs t
?f the cotton market. Even if
cotton were double the present .
price, it would be unwise for the r
South to concentrate upon cotton
production as in the past. f
Diversified farming, bringing y
about a larger production of a
wheat, and corn and hoes and ii
c-a tile, means a broadening of v
agriculture through a steady in- u
the fertility of Southern soil and ^
the rounding out of all the activ- 8
ities which make for the 'argest a
(J
growth of every interest of the t
South. With advancing cotton r
prices and the world's cotton y
famine ahead of us, there is se- 3
rioua danger that, lured by a
the temporary prosperity which a
might come from high prices of 1"
eotton, the South will again 8
make the mistake of abandoning v
or lessening its diversified agri- c
culture and centering itR thought ?
wholly upon cotton.
For ye:?rs to come the price of a
foodstuffs might, must remain c
high. Therefore, if the South I
keeps its "corn crib and smokehouse
in the West," as formerly,
en high-priced cotton will leave
only a r.arrcw margin of profit '
after the South has paid for ^
Western flour and corn and bacon f
the very high prices now ruling,
and which in all probability will ^
continue to rule. Unless the g
South is largely self supporting a
in the way of foodstuffs and r
feedstuffs, high-priced cotton i
will prove but a delusion and a j
snare only to forge again the c
chains which enslaved the South 8
in the thralldom of cotton. J
It becomes, therefore, the
solemn duty; a duty to the ?
people of the whole South, a ?
J,,*w t- i 1.-1 E
UUIJ W IllllitUJIS VJ1 ULI1CI 1H11US ^
who are compelled to look to the j
West for foodstuffs, that the {
South shall turn more and more to
food production and become
self-supporting in the raising of J
livestock, grain and legumes. i
Cotton drains the soil of its j
fertility; diversified agriculture j
enriches the soil. Shortly be- ?
fore his death, Edward Atkin- 4
son, the Boston political econo
mist and statistician, in a letter J
to the Manul'actureia Record, 4
look the ground that the all- j
cotton system had brought such t
a deterioration in Southern soil I
that if this loss could be stated J
in dollars and cents it would at ^
lime exceed the total increase
in the manufacturing interests
of the South.
"L atil the South is permanently
fixed in alt of its agricultural
activities to the raising of foodstuffs
adequate for its needs and
for shipment to other sections ?
and other parts of the world, it f
will not have attained the full t
measure of its potentiality in ?
in agriculture. ? Manufacturers v

Employes of the Carhartt mills t

ionday afternoon for an inrease
of twenty-five per cent f
n wages, returned to work I
Vednesdav afternoon. A con- 1
erence of workers was held i
'uesday afternoon when a de- t
ision was reached to accept an t
ffer of 5 per cent, increase in i
rages made by officials of the c
niil when the employes first I
equested an increase of pay. ]
'he operators, however, reected
an offer of an additional 1
vage increase of 21-2 per cent, t

hat acceptance of this offer f
rould place upon them obliga- i
ions which they did not care to c
ssiyne. There was no disorder e
tnong employes and no feeling j
f animosity toward the mill r
fficers was displayed during 1

It is really surprising how some
>eople will lie, that is for worldy
goods especially.
We recently heard of a young
ellow who was going to see an
iwfully homely girl whose
father was very wealthy. The
roung fellow thought over the
patter a long time and Anally
lecided that he could put up
irith her looks provided he could
pet his fingers on some of the
rid man's dough. So he finally
lecided to "pop the question,"
ind here is what he told that
lomely girl:
"Darling, I must' speak. You
jearl beyond price, my soul
lungers for you! Your eyes are
ike sparkling dew drops; your
lose chiseled after a model of
he gods; your lips are redder
;han June cherries and sweeter
;han honey in the comb; your
heeks are more fair than the
>lush of wild roses. Dear heart,
want you for my own!"
"And this is what he would
lave told her if he had tolt^the
ruth;
"You pie-faced, pimpled
quash, if you were a snow ball
n hades 1 wouldn't give two
:ents a dozen for you. Your
yes look like two bad eggs
'ryin' in hog fat; your No. 11

tapper on uihi noie in your lace

noney looks good to me! Will
'ou be my wife?"
