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."
Rut In tho midst of tho depression It (
Is consoling to think that conditions .
nre novor so' had as thoy might ho. ,
If Olovornor fox had boon olootod ,
possibly tho fnrmors would h?vo hoop ]
ronulrod to niv for tho privilege of |
giving nwny tholr cotton, tho mill j
workoro might have hoen deported ,
nnd Democratic newspapers sup- ,
pressed.
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 ]
