Prefers a Small Town
It it related that an editor of a
weekly new apt per published in a
mall town, attended the exposition at
Philadelphia. The day he started back
the hotel clerk asked him. by *r|y
at conversation, why he lived in a
email town when there is still plenty
.of room in the big ones. And through
hit .paper he answered the question
in these words:
"I live in a small town because I
prefer it to a big catj^r because 1 have
more friends; I live better, and I am
happier; I have more opportunity for
improving n.j mipd and I gel more
pleasure out of life than if 1 lived in
a city. Every time I spend a few
day* in a big city and see how many
mi its people live I am thankful when
1 get home that I live in a small
'' town."
In other words, the newspaper man
prefers to be a big frog in a small j
puddle rather than a little frog in a
big puddle.?Monroe Enquirer.

ha# some of t& the above hot, thank*
be, more of the first described kind,
indeed and in truth many of itch, and
thie i? why we have built a .town here
thai hae frown and haa developed
along ao many line* of civic betterment.
The knocker* will eay that
Camden is as large as it will ever be
?they have always said so, hot the
failure of their prpphecie* to come
true does not deter them in the efforts
to make it ao. i
Had you ever thought that the
larger a to wis becomes and the more!
capital, tfue more industries, the more
prestige it secures, the easier it is
to add n^orf to it# resources? ' U
gives momentum. And again, have;
yoa ever thought about the nuasber
and size of the payrolls which Cam-'
den has already? Altogether this
I showing would surprise you, but we.
need many snore, and a pull together!
spirit of all the people can get more.;
Have you considered the fact that j
Camden is located in the hefrt of a
big trade territory, with no towns of?
a competitive? size inside of a line
formed by touching such points wt1
Colombia, Sumter and Charlotte, alii
of which territory is rather thickly
settled, and for the most part *by
white, progressive and prosperous
farmers! Why the merchants don't
go after and get this trade is beyond
my ken.
Advertising would do it.
We have here the resources and the
advantages necessary to make great
progress?co-operative effort will do j
iW ...We need more industries. Wee
^oMd not sit down and wait fori
"George" or some other outsider to
do it. So Jet's a!! get together for a!
greater and more prosperous Camden,:
regardless of the low price of cotton.

The Price ?f 6m1ml
There is no special raaasu for be-'
fug eorpnsed at the drop ia the price
of cotton. It could easily be seen
early last spring there was every
probability that the price would drop
materially this fall when the new crop
, began to move. Indications in the
: spring of the year that the acreage
planted would be as large or larger'
than it was the year before, and that i
; an average crop condition wrest the en- i
; tire belt would almost surely produce
, a crop of hot less than 14,000,000
bales, and with the production of a fif-1
f teen million bale crop there was every
logical reason for the price to go lower
than the then prevailing price
around 17 and 18 centa. To be sore
there have been ?any arguments put
out during the summer to the effect!
that there could be only so many million
bales of spinnable cotton made
this year, because of this condition
and that which prevailed, over >. the
belt; dgBt *t is to be noted that the
price on the cotton exchanges is made
not oa the basis of spinoable cotton,
j but rather on the basis of hour many
bales of cotton the gorernmentt crop
estimates total. And it appears that
the price is entirely governed by the
, amount of cotton in sight. And so U
the price of any commodity of general
use. te:'
N.%
! Take for instance, the automobile
industry. Prices of automobiles of various
makes have dropped materially
this year or within the * last twelve
months. These price drops have been
heralded as being doe to better, manufacturing
practices that have enabled
production at less cost, and no
doubt that is true to a certain extent,
but that is not the whole reason. Part
of it is due to the fact that the maker*
of autoa have turned out more
cars and ti^ larger number of cars to
be sold has had its share in the effect
of pushing prices down.?If the Fordh
people, for instance, were only mak- f
ing a million cars a year, instead of j
making perhaps a million and a half, then
there would not be the necessity ;
to reduce the price to the point at
which they now stand, . because the \
country would absorb the million cars
at a higher price than it would absorb
the million and a half, and when the -<
hundreds of thousands of other cars i
are added to the number of cars to be
absorbed by the country, even at a ;
higher price, it has its effect in mak
iug the absorption of the million and
a haif cars of the flivver variety jus:}
that much harder and to insure theselling
of the million and a half cars j
the Ford people put down the prices ,
accordingly. . *; .
The ?kine principle applies U eot(oa,

The aatosaobik manufacturers aikfe
the cotton apinaars handle their Unction
en a Better business basis than
do the farmers. When the manateeinrers
see that they cahoot sell their
products at a profit after price reductions
to a Certain limit, then they close
their plants Sad give the consumers
time enough to consume their surplus
and create s demand for more goods
[at a profit-bearing price.
I ^ The cotton growers will have to
[adopt a plan very'much along the
.same line. The cooperative marketing
plan is per ha pa the heat possible
scheme that has ever been worked out
for the help of the farmer in getting
[ the price be ought to have for his products;
but this plan cannot pvercome
: all the obstacles to fair prices?a
; profit oTer the coot of production.
I Control of the amount of cotton and
other products grown will have to be
put into effective operation. The mere
I fact that so many Bullion bales of cotton
are controlled by the-cooperative
marketing associations will not beep
up the price indefinitely. Everybody
knows that sooner or later cotton or
other products must go on the market;
and while This year's crop is in
I the warehouses to go ahead and produce
another big crop of a given commodity
will certainly have its effect in
reducing the price of that already produced.
It has been pointed oat thousands
of times that a ten million bale eiop
of cotton will bring more money than
I will a twelve million bale crop; bat
that indisputable fact has never had
the effect of keeping the growers from
trying to grow the twelve million crop
the next year, following the higher
prices brought by the ten million crop,
and until this fact is realised and capitalised
then the control of the price,
in the light of past experiences, simply
is out of the "question.?Yorkville
