DBC. 8. 192l7 F.irulers who are holding their | cotton for higher prices have reason to believe thai with the turn of the new Vear better days will j tome tor them. The year's pro- j duet ion is hundreds of thousands > of halt's short of that of normal [ years and the big earry-over from previous crops about which we j "heard so much some months ago ! existed more in the imagination . of those who were interested in keeping down the price of the \ staple than it did in reality. Not half of the world's needs for cotlon goods could be supplied if ; every bale of cotton were wade j into elotli overnight. Next year, j with the boll weevil destroying iniieli of the crop over the entire j cotton belt, the yield is certain to be even smaller than it was this year. The farmer who can hold his cotton without inconveniencing those to whom he may he indebted apparently is in an advantageous position. The State budget commission is an institution which was estab- I lislied by an act of the General | Assembly in 1919. It costs the taxpayers something like $6,000 a ! year. KfHc?ency and economy . in the eoiidue't of the State gov 4-rniii?*iit were promised by the 1 proponents of the measure, which provides that the commission shall be composed of the governor. tin* chairman of the ways and means committee of the house and the chairman of the finance committee of the senate, these members of the Oeneral Assembly to join the governor in his reports and recommendations to that body. The commission has an efficient secretary who makes \ i an honest effort to earn the salary paid him: but the commission \ does not make the headway we I were assured it would, and already there has been talk of i abolishing it. There is a reason for the failure of the commission ! to nroduee the good things promised for it and it is this: The governor has appropriated the commission to himself ami uses it f as an individual agency to make i..*: ... ii... n ... 1 l i ituiii uiriii in i mil* mi i im* vn*m-im Assembly. As a result, when the llie house hiuI senate the commitr? port of the commission reaches tee chairmen in those bodies who ore supposed to he members of the commission do not feel it incumbent upon them to urfte the adoption of its recommendations The budget commission has done some pood, hut not as much as was expected of it. The man who owes a debt and has n marketable commodity with which he could pay the debt without seriously incommoding himself in all fairness to both himself and his creditor should dis pose oi tno commodity at ttie nest , price ho ean sret for it and pay 1 the debt. If the business houses , of a community are not prosperous one may be sure that the community itself is in no better t condition. There are business men all over the country, some even in Fort Mill. whose backs are to the wall because thev cannot colled the debts due them. In many instance* relief would come to these men at once if those who coold nnv them would do so. The man who has a bushel of corn that he was able to prow bv secitrine supplies from a neighbor merchant on the premise that he would nav foe the supplies when he fathered his crop does not own that bu?hel of corn, ft is the property of his creditor and ehonbl he <?ohl and the nroeeeds turned over to the creditor.
