Ten dollars per bale is a pretty
nice advance for one day in the price
of cotton. That's what happened yesterday.
While comparatively little cotton is
being marketed so far. the rise in
price has brought smiles to the faces
of both planters and merchants.
The parcel post system is of great
convenience to the public. It (ills a
long felt want that express companies
could not or would not meet.
As an adjunct to the rural free delivery
alone, it is of inexpressable
benefit. That the usefulness of the
system will be increased, there is not
the shadow of a doubt.
"Darlington county will send a
large tobacco exhibit to the State
fair, according to a letter received at
the State department of agriculture
from Bright Williamson. The glass
?ases for the installation of the exhibit
will be furnished by the de1
artment."
Wonder what kind of exhibit Chesterfield
county will send up. Chesterfield
could make an exhibit second
to none in the State if proper effort
were made.
As a result of persistent hard work
on the part of Superintendent of Education.
R. A. Rouse, the financial
codition of the schools of the county
is in better shape than they have
l een in many years. Facing a large
overdraft in nearly every school dist
let in the county when he assumed
i outvol .jT i-c office, Supt. Rouse
went right down to work to bring
erd^r out of choas with the result
' that every school district in the
county is now out of debt.
THE LIQUOR FHJHT.

Notwithstanding it appeared on the
f-ce of the returns that Sumter
entity had voted against flic dispensary,
the county board of cotnniiss'.oners
have throuwn out enough
\otes to change the result in favor of
i s re-establishujent. This action on
5ts part comes as ,*t very distinct surprise
in a way and not so much of
? surprise iu another. \\V wen* not
surprised that the dispensary peojsought
to chance the result but
ve were surprised that the coun'y
oard of commissioners sltotild have
taken the action they did.

i m be resorted t? stave off defeat

H'e hope .'the prohibitionists of
: uinter county will prove to he
*lity lighters. They should be
a:longer for they have the satisfac'
on of knowing that their side is
" o right one morally and this should
loud them strength and encourage*
v-nit. If there is any room for doubt
that the commissioners acted justly
i' changing the apparent result of tho
*etion?and from what we can hear
e is?we hope the advocates of
temperance cause will fight tho
Matter to the bitter end. There should
no surrender in this matter.?
Greenville Piedmont.
Since the above appeared in the
Piedmont, the vote in Williams burg
1ms also been declared in favor of
1! dispensary by throwing out two
contested boxes. The first announcement.
from Lexington was also
aeainst the dispensary, but it has
I een declared a winner there. This
leaves only Abbeville county apainst
the dispensary, out of the eleven that
vo-ed on the question.
The reason the prohibitionists do
ro* fipht as hard in the courts and
elsewhere as the liquor people, is
that they have no powerful, indi.
vidua] financial interests at stake, as
do the liquor manufacturers and sellers
who furnish the money for the
contests and legal fights for the sale
of liquor.
Many people use as an excuse for
favoring the dispensary, that prohibition
is not being enforced. These
same people usually do the least to
help enforce prohibition, by apprehending
and convicting violators of
the law.
In our opinion, we will have to
have some radical change in government
in this State before any law
for the moral and intellectual beneltii?
m our neonle can be properly en
forced. When the fountain-head is
polluted, how can we expect to find
pure water down the stream.?Tfennettsville

Great Contention Starts at Salinn,
Kansas?Five Hundred Delcirates
Present.
Salina, Kan., Sept. 2.?Establishment
of a great central agency to assist
in the marketing of all farm
products was recommended in the report
of the board of directors of the
Farmens' union at the opening session
of the national convention of that organization
here today.
The principal object of the central
marketing bureau, the report held,
would he to draw business and fanning
insterests closer together for their
mutual benefit and to the ultimate
benefit of the consumer.
In addition to its recommendation
the directors' report spoke of important
work accomplished by the Farmers'
union through the aid furnished
toward the enactment of the parcel
post law, immigration restriction and
otjier legislation.
The members of the union, the re.
port said, are members of the national
board studying the rural credit
systems of Europe. The union is preparing
for publication of a book on
the gncral subject of cooperation as
it affects the farmer.
More liberal agricultural appropria
tions. the abolittion of dealing in "futures,"
the establishment of a bureau
of marketing in the agricultural department,
credit extension, stricter
immigration laws and a protest
against the proposed central bank
currency plan were some of the recommendations
to congress contained
in the report of tin- legislative committee
as drawn for presentation.
