Give the Glad Hand to Our Teachers.
Most all of our schools have already
opened for another year's work. This
Is such an Item of such regular recurrence
that we are prone to accept
It as a matter of course. We do not
pause to consider the full import of it.
Yet the work done by our schools is
basic, being ail important. It deserves
arid should have our earnest interest
and active cooperation. We
cannot fully estimate human values,
v- the worth of a.]ife, the destiny of a
soul, ;-J*'
- It is with these priceless potentialities
that our teachers have to deal.
Great is their responsibility; greater
still is that of parent and patron.
Together they, are engaged in one of
?- the greatest undertakings that could
engagp the interest of men or angels
-"- that of making worthy, well-rounded,
fully equipped men and women,
who shall direct the affairs of the
world in the generation when they
come to maturity.
/- As Secretary of this Chamber of
Commerce, as well as citizen, I bespeak
for all the teachers in all the
sohools, in both city and county the
friendship and co-operation of all tiie
people. Let us be slow to criticize and
quick to commend. Give Professor
Richards, our splendid superintendent,
and to Mr .McFadden, our principal, a
fair deal. Give the teachers a fair
deal. Give him or her a chance, Lend
aid and encouragement. Be a booster
.and a builder, not an.obstructionist or
a destructionist. '
B. G. Sanders,
Sec'y Chamber of'Commerce.
a When Tbe South Shall Rule. ^
To one of little enlightenment upon
upon agricultural schemes, and with
less practical experience, the situation
.remaining within the South today is
one fully as mystifying as ever presented
in the economic history of our
country. Although no newspaper
wopld tolerate a farmer directing its
affairs, nevertheless, it would be alien
to its best traditions if it did not welcome,
und heed when found worthy,
any plan whenever or wherever offered
for the advancement ojf humankind.
It is with this spirit, aliiToSf^of humility,
that the Southern press has for
many, years attempted to light the
way toward that degree of progress
which every man of the farm should
merit. To sell his crop for less than
the cost of production has long been
the plight of the Southern farmer and
today there is witnessed a keener realization
that only upon his credits
will the fanner, under the present
system, continue to possess the actual
necessities of life.
In truth, the predicament of the
farmer is alarming and for it government
reports have been blamed as
well as multitudinous pests and frail
ties of the weather,-but, "if the market
is glutted with any product that the!
entire world can -not-make use of, is
not the man who placed it there to be
heid more accountable thai! any I
J |
other? Cotton is but cotton and'
whether or not the five- or six-horse
farmer of Carolina can forestall the
almost boundless competition of the*
Soiithwest is a matter for his own!
speculation. What remains a known J
fact, however, is that any man or any j
section is the better rewarded for liv'
ing within the bounds of that territory
which, he would first see prosper.
If South Carolina plants cotton
alone and feeds Western hay and grain
it stands just that much further from
sectional independence. To call upon
South America for (beans and use rice
from the opposite side of the globe is
folly surpassed only in its collossal
stupidity.
No hope is held that gingham will
replace silk or that duck will be worn
instead of worsted. Bettej by far it
is to anticipate our needs and desires
"* and then exert our utmost efforts at
"their fulfillment here at home. Waste
not a dream of Utopian bliss, hut for
the sake of all that is noble, ever
strive toward that day when South- ;
erners shall feed and furnish the
South?when the farmer, and not the
flagrant staple, shall reign supreme!
The people of South Carolina came
as near as they could to electing a
Marlboro fnan governor out of the!
nine candidate. The mother and fa-1
ther of John G. Richards lived for
many years and died in Marlboro, i
His father is buried at Blenheim, and
he has a sister there now, Mrs. Jennie
Hunter, the Blenfieim postmaster.? j

DON'T SELL FOB A WHILE

AdvUew J. CUft#* Kiv?r?, 8t*te Ware*
house Commissioner
r* ii i ?Mm
J. Clifton Rivera, at ate warehouse
commissioner, through The Chronicle,
ha* addressed the following communication
to the farmers and business
men of thia community:
"An emergency has arisen in our
state on account of the decline in the
price of cotton, such decline being
caused primarily by overstocking the
market beyond its capacity to absorb.
I want to say to the farmers not to
be stampeded or scared out by this
decline, because in my opinion there
is no reason for it. The crop, while
all coming at one time, will not be
over largy, ?por beyond the needs of
consumption. .
"My advice to all is to hold up selling
for a while; place your cotton in
a state warehouse, either irv your
town, or on your farm or community,
where it will all be properly graded,
carried at a very low cost for insurance,
and have issued to you a state
warehouse receipt which can be U8ed
to tide ypu over this speculative decline,
and from where the cotton can
be sold collectively upon its true
grade and at the very best market
price when the owner is ready or
desires to dispose of it.
"In this letter I wish to offer to i
the farmers and business men of the
state every facility of the state warehouse
department for their aid In this
emergency, so that our cotton crop
may not be sacrificed on the altar of
speculation. I shall be glad for every
farmer interested, to write me at once
as I am sure I can be of great help
to them at this time."
Calls- For Storm Aid.
Governor McLeod has called on the
people of South Carolina to assist the
people of Florida, and has issued the
'following proclamation:
) "Whereas, our sister state, Florida,
has been visited by a disastrous hurricane,
resulting in a heavy toll in life
ami property, and
"Whorcaq God in His merciful providence
has seen fit to spare our beloved
state from the desolation of this
disaster, thus allowing us the privilege
of aiding those less fortunate;
and
"Whereas, the national Red Cross
has called upon all the states of the
union to raise from four to five millions
dollars to be used for relief
work, and The State and the Colum?
ft
bia" Record have consented to receive
contributions from the citizens of
Smith Carolina for 'the purpose;
"Now, therefore, I, Thomas G. Mc^
Leod, as governor of the State of
Soulh Carolina, do hereby call upon
the people of South Carolina to give
freely to this most worthy cause.
John G. Richards, next Governor of
South Carolina, will go into office under
the most encouraging auspices.
During the recent campaign he waged
a most creditable fight, presenting
his views in a straightforward man-<
ner, entirely devoid of personalties,
and even during the two weeks the
second lap of the contest was being
run, Mi. Richards pursued the even
ten.u of his way. He e&me out of
the campaign with the high, regard of
opponents and-public, and will go into
office with the hearty good wishes of
all classes , elements and factions for
a successful administration. Mr.
Richards will be the first Governor of
the State to serve a single term of
four years, and this fact ought to
contribute materially to the success
of his administration. Between the
two leading candidates in the race
for Governor, when it was narrowed
down to a contest between the two,
and befoie, there was not a sign of
acrimony, nor does there seem to be
any now, between their adherents. It
looks like Mr. Richards will start ofT
under most auspicious circumstances,
indeed.?Cheater Reporter.
