THU RS DAY. 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.
