It In with groat satisfaction that we
learn of the jtrnjnincnt part taken hy
Mr. 11. M. Haruch in this Organization.
Mr. Itaruch Is with pride termed hy
hla friends here as a "Camden hoy."
He Is the Hon of Dr. Simon Itaruch, the
beloved phy?lclan, and Mr#. Belle W.
Baruch, a lady of marked talent, both
of whom tilled a prominent position in
the social life of tills community for
many years, and both of whom are
most affectionately remembered by
many of our older citizens.
Mr. It. M. Itaruch was born In Cam

ten years of age when he removed to
New York city with his parents in
1880. . Hy energy, ability and charaeier
he has risen to a high position In the
business life of the city of New York,
-?he great metropolis of the NVeatern
Hemisphere, and by tlds great energy,
marked ability and high character he
has accumulated large wealth and Is
recognized as a leafier of men' In the

Mr. It. M. Haruch evhlence<l his
j?reat generosity toward and Interest
In the home of his birth and early
childhood by the ^Ift of the Camden
Hospital to this community at a cast
of about $10, (MX). In the "Buy-a-lmle"
cotton movement he purchased live
hales of cotton, -one for each of his
. family, and handed the cotton over to
the Hospital for its use. We believe
that the same generous spirit has now
prompted Mr. Baruch to come to' the
front. In the effort to serve the South

problem. It was known among a few
of Mr. Baruch's closest friends that
he had been gathering information
along this line hut he has gone far
beyond their exj?ectatlons In subscrib

We express the general feeling of
this community that this Is a magni
ficent a el of Mr. Baruch's and his old
home town Is proud of him.

this sulphur paste to the water in, the

By boiling we mean violent cooking

ten and- twelve |*er cent some years
ago mid even worse than thai when

Kerllll'/ers, of some kinds, too lire
(lien per. If a planter could pay ten
and twelve [>er cent Interest for real
money and twice that when he houuht
supplies "on tlnie,"- surely he can oome
odt lief ter now even though Ills cotton
doe* not bring him over seven and
eight cents the ponml.
Hnl there arc some other factors In
the equation that have l>een overlook
ed. At that time, mules could lie
l>ought at one hundred and one hun
dred and twenty-five dollars each,
whereas for. some years they have been
bringing two hundred and fifty to
three linndred dollars each. This dif
ference alone would wipe out the sav
in# in Interest on borrowed money
ami the difference In the coat of farm
hardware today and ten to twenty
yearn ago. Then too while tlie cost of
picking cotton has not advanced. Ken
era 1 farm lahor has doubled In ?ost.
At that time wages 'hands were easy
to secure at seven and eight dollars a
month and hoard. Such lahor now
costs twice that much.
'The Hardware Company's letter ov
erlooks these, two big items in its let
ter'. It is true the man who has live
stock to sell Is the man who sets the
benefit in the big raise in price, but,
this is no comfort to our farmers. We
have been buying our livestock from
the West. And here is the place where
we find all of our troubles, the cause
of them. We have been buying too
many things and too much of them
away from home. It is true oats are
selling ?t seventy-five cents the bush
el, but how many Greenwood county
farmers had oats to sell this fall when
the grain-sowing fever "was ho high?
The Index knows of one Greenwood
county man who made a crop oi two
thousand bushels of oats this year. He
could dispose of that crop at fifteen
hundred dollars. Not bad that. It
takes a little more. time and trouble
to market oats than cotton and that is
the trouble about most of our oper
ations. We all like to go along the
line of least resistance, float down
stream with the rest of the fellows.
It is a time to get out of the crowd,
stand apart and do some thinking of
our own. Figure and see for yourself
where you are and where you are
drifting.
The whole matter will finally re
solve itself into this solution: That the
man who first produces an ample sup
ply of foodstuffs will not need Govern
ment, State or so much banking aid.
lie will always heed, if he is to make
progress, aid from banks, but if he
has this food supply In abundance, his
need will not bo so heavy and so con
stant. lie will be a more welcome
customer at his bank. ?
Let him make this his first thought,
his first act: To make his food at
home. Let him not begin at the first
of the year to map out his best laud
in cotton, but rather lay out his farm
first for food and then begin his cot
ton making operations. This will set
tle the warehouse question for the
small farmer. The big planter Is In
a different class, but even he needs to
follow the first principle laid down
and he too will find It easier to dis
pose of his money crop than other
wise. This is old doctrine. So is the
Gospel. - But both are the "glad-, tid
ings" that are our only hoi>e ami sal
vation.
Much Grain Being Sown.
In <>011 ve teat ion with a gentleman a
few days ago whose occupation car
ries him all over the county, we were
told that a great deal of grain Is l>e
Ing sown in this county. Iu several
instances he says the remainder of the
late crop of cotton has been turned
under by the plows and grain already
sown. One farmer tells us that unless
the price of cotton gets right by plant
ing time next year that he does not
intend to plant an acre In cotton ? us?j
ing his entire farm for growing food
stuffs. He Intends to make the l?est
of the "hard times" by providing well
for the future. And it Is very likely
that another year will see less Western
meat from the packing houses shipped
into this territory.

And now, my fallow citizens, wt*
have an opportunity to illustrate the
declaration made hy every hill-hlllie
orator of the last century or more,
from Hit- mountains of New Ifamp
shire to tin* plains of Florida, and yet
here we are, the average one of us, go
hitf around like a mangy dote,- whin
ing about "the war." You can hardly
got an audience with a man oji any
other subject and nine-tenths of the
|H>op|e seem to, J>e under the impression
that somebody has done them or their
folks a serious Injury.
The question at fhik hour Is not
"Who hit Blllio Patterson?" ? but. are
the American people ? the Southern
| i>eop!e, a lot of pale /ace molly-coddles,
i with sklmpied goat's milk flowing thru
their veins, or have they inherited the
rich red blood of our American sires
who left their bloody foot prints on the
frozen valleys of Virginia, when Geo.
Washington led them on to a victorious
deliverance from the yoke of English
royalty?
These men won because they had
sand their gizzards instead of grape
nuts, and guts their bellies Instead
of tai?e Worms.
True, we may have *o abandon some
of our twentieth century luxuries. It
may be necessary for us to adjust our
selves to a new basis of living ? but
should we surrender? True It Is some
of our folks may have to divert to
some extent the stream of gold that has
for the last ten years llowed from our
vaults and Into the coffers of Mr. Ford,
Mr. Packard, Mr. Bulck and Mr. Saxon,
and other esteemed fellow countrymen
to the north of us, but we can still raise
mule colts and .Jersey bulls and get
there somehow even though it be at a
lower- rate *of si>eed.
True, It may be, that our women
folks may have to suspend their suf
fragette convocations for a brief spell
and resume the monotonous business of
i looking after the babies and knitting
sox for the men ? but this is the way
they used to do and they managed to
live through it
True it may be, that our rich Dads
won't have quite as much money to
spend on their boys in the way of Pied
mont cigarettes, patent leather shoes,
and ice cream clothes, and it may even
be possible that the boy will have to
learir something about self-denial and
