C.. as mall matter of the J second olass. < THURSDAY. NOV. 26. 1920. < _ . i 1 Prior to the presidential election a a few weeks ago, the remark was fre- f qucntly heard in this section tnat 11 i ^ the Republicans won better times t would come to the country overnight, r that the big bushier* interes's of the n North, in sympathy with the Uepub- \ Hcan candidate, could be expected to t toko an optimistic view of whut was r tc be done for them in the way of leg- r (station by Congress within the next \ year and that before one could turn t the corner the era of prosperity which 1 had been enjoyed for the last four r years?under Democratic adininistra- r tlon, the speakers conveniently forgot t to say?would ngaln be abroad in the | land. Let us see whether those who r were so certain of what Republican 1 success meant were real prophets or '1 pikers at the guessing game. Hard- ? ing was elected on October 2, four t weeks ago the day before yesterday, r InSco that date the price of cotton r hns continued to decline dny by day until during the post week the lowest prices of the ^last five weeks Were recorded throughout the country. And f along with the disastrous figures at which the staple is selling, hundreds of thousands of mill workers have had their wages cut, while other r thousands of workers in the same In- t dustry have been thrown out of em- j ptoyment altogether by the suspension of operations at many mills s which are unable to find ' a market r foi their product. if Republican n success meant a forerunner of "good I times" the country will ask to be r snared the "extraordinarily good r lirrios SOP1P Snlfl COUkt Ho expected T If tho election wont tho "right way."

R. Harris, State commissioner of 1 agriculture, has sent to The Times an 1 article which is entirely too long for use In these columns telling why pub- \ Mention of The Market Rulletln, Is- i sued for some time by his office, has been discontinued. We can tell the story?albeit the story will be somewhat different ? in one-tenth the , words Mr. Harris uses. Publication of Tho Market Rulletln was discontinued about a month ago because the fund set aside by the legislature at the 1820 session to be used to pay for printing the publication through- ' out the year was used faster than the legislature Intended. Seeing several weeks ago that the fund was 1 about exhausted. Mr. Harris applied 1 to the general contingent fund com- 1 mltteo for additional funds with which to keep it goinK the balance of the year. The contingent fund 1 committee refused to grant the ap- ' plication on the grounds that tfhe ' commissioner knew nt the beginning I of the year how much money he had to use for the publication and that he should have made it do. It will \ perhaps bo a matter of surprise to i many to learn that The Market Rul- j letln was costing the taxpayers of 1 South Carolina something like $12.- ( 000 a year for printing nnd postage ] alone?entirely too much in the I opinion of some and a wholly un- ] j The J.

YORK TEACHKRS MR FT. ?ounty Association In Session at Court House Sntiinlny. Two score York county school tench rs. representing practically every sfccIon of the county, met at the court touso In York Saturday for the first session of the York County Teachers' issoclntlon of the school year. The iddress of the occasion was delivered >v Prof. .T F. Wnmsley of Wlnthrop olleee. His remarks were given close ?ttentlon and evoked much complimentary comment. Field day exercises for the schopls )f the county to be held next spring vero agreed upon following dismission of the matter. The place rend late of the exercises will he selected hter by a committee appointed for lirf purpose. No field day has been teld In York county for the last three I'enrs on account of the war and for it her causes. The annual election of officers for he association resulted as follows: President, Prof. J. F. Thomason of Wlnthrop college, vice president, R. NT. T^ove. Rethnnv; secretary and treasurer.

The next meeting of each division will he held In Janunry. The western illvlslon will meet In York and the Plnstern division In Rock Hill. Divls Ion of the Association into two wings has been found to work advantageously. resulting In larger attendance it the meetings and promoting friendly rivalry. The first and final meetings of the year are joint affairs. That York county has one of the nost effective teachers' organizations in South Carolina is recognized l>y educators throughout the State, ind no small share of the credit for Its success is due John E. Carroll, county superintendent of education. N*r. Carroll has all along insisted that the meetings must not become mere perfunctory affairs Mills Co. !
