The agricultural department forecast
of the cotton crop, released
Thursday shows an pstimate of 16,284,000
bales for this year against;
13.032.ouu bales in 1030, and this estimate
for October 1, published
, Thursday, is an increase of 500,000
bale?. over the estimate'-Tor Septem-l
her 1. this year. The crop forecast j
fur I his year, if verified later, would
h<> the second largest ever grown in
this country, the record being held1
by 1026, with 17,077,000 produced!
that year. The estimated 1031 pro-j
duction is 2,352,000 bales larger than
the ginnings of 1030, The report
says crop prospects were improved
during September by hot,,dry weather
in Arkansas and Mississippi especially
and to a lesser degree in
somo other states. The New York
market responded to the government
forecast report by remaining fairly
steady, and in New Orleans little effect
of the report was shown in the
market. ,

RICH AKI) I MAN NINO
(Resolutions by Executive Committee,
New York Life Insurance
Company.)
The Sumter Herald.
The passing from this life of Richard
1 Manning September 11 confirms
the old saying that "Death
loves a shining mark."
Governor Manning became a member
of the board of directors of NewYork
Life April 9, 1919. Born on a
plantation of Sumter county, South
Carolina, in 1859, he was a fine representative
of the best qualities of
both the old and the new South. His
ancestor who founded the family in
this country in the 18th century was
noted for his brave participation in
the American Revolution. Many of
his relatives and intimates were soldiers
of the Confederate army in the
Confederate war. But it is significant
of the patriotism which that
conflict did not destroy that six of
his seven sons fought in the World
war, and only youth prevented the
seventh from enlisting. One of the
six was killed in action on the French
front. This remarkable record was
hs always a source of modest but deeply
felt pride on the part of Governor
Manning.
He was a representative and senator
in the South Carolina legislature
for nearly 14 years and was governor
of the state for two terms, from
1915 to 1919. His civic and political
influonces were far-reaching. He
was an expert in taxation, ballot reform,
public school education and so
great was his interest in agriculture
that he always insisted on being
^ called a farmer. In business his
sound judgment ana wise aavice
were widely sought, and he was a
director of many important corporations.
His long and valued associatiim
with the New York Life contributed
much to the confidence in the
company felt by its Southern policy
holders. His political and business
life did not absorb all of his interest
in the progress of his community,
for he was a member of the national
c -unc.l of the ihotcstant Episcopal
church, chairman -of the executive
comm.ttee of the Y M. ( A. of the
states of Nortti Carolina >n<i South

Ill- presence at board and committee

and his breadth and tolerance
in discussing national questions,
which are so often subjects of irri-j
tat.on. were refreshing. He will be
greatly missed by all of his colleague
in the company, on whose
behalf the executive committee desires
to have this tribute of respect
and affection inscribed upon its
nv.nutes and a copy sent to his family
as ,,r. expression of deep sympathy.

VKRY TIMELY
The followinK communication, entitled
"An Open letter To the
South," from Prof, Robert R. Moton,
principal of Tunkegee Institute in
Alabama, is a most timely and practical
utterance:
"The South is approaching what is
for thousands of people both black
arid white the most critical time of
the year. As everyone knows a great
part of the farming oik*rations of the
South are carried on by advances of
money and supplies made in the
spring of the year and continuing
through the growing season. October
fifteenth is the usual time for the
maturing of notes and papers based
on these operations;
Always a matter of serious concern
to those involved, the approaching
time of settlement this year is a
matter of grave importance particularly
to negro farmers who, like all
the rest of us, are involved in the
economic depression which prevails
throughout the country.
1 am taking this means of making
an uppeal to bankers, merchants and
other business men throughout the
South who have made advances to
negro farmers, asking them to show
the largest possible consideration t?
ull those who are under obligations of
this sort to them. It is ulready apparent
that the cotton crop this year,
though large, will not enable this
class of farmers to settle their accounts.
Because of the prevailing
unsettled conditions there will be a
temptation to many creditors to press
their debtors to the utmost in obtaining
satisfaction for advances made,
The offset of such a course will mean
grave suffering on the part of thousands
of helpless women and children
besides men who are wholly without
means, not only of meeting their obligations,
but of sustaining themselves
and their families during this
depression. This will thro\V the burden
of the support of these people upon
the public, and add greatly to the
confusion and distress which we must
all face.
At the same time 1 want to make
an appeal to all the leaders among
my people, preachers, teachers, demonstration
agents and the like, to
urge all classes to be frugal during
these hard times, and to seize every
opportunity for honest employment,
however meager the pay, and
to take advantage of every legal
means to meet the obligations which
they have incurred, and where this is
not possible, to see their landlords
and creditors and make some definite
arrangements with them for carrying
over their obligations.
At the same time I want to sound
a word of warning to my people agoinst
permitting themselves to be
stirred up by agitators from outside,
whether black or white, who come
with plausible arguments and promises
creating suspicion and ill-will between
the races, with the ultimate
purpose of making trouble even to
the point of destroying our own government.
It has been noted over and
over again when those agitators appear
and trouble begins they have a
way of disappearing and leaving the
ignorant and gullible to bear the burden
and blame and suffering caused
by {.heir activities.
1 believe that there is enough common
sense among the leaders of both
races in the South to adjust their
problems and difficulties without the
intervention of outsiders who know
nothing ol"our local situation, anu
care less "for the genuine interest of
either race."
Pessimistic Talk
It would be much better in times
like these if we would try to forget
the depressed condition of business,
and at least quit talking hard times.
The whole country is afflicted with
this phobia of starvation, and it
seems that Marlboro county has more
than its share of it. Kverybody
admits that business is not what it'
-houlil be; however, we have the consolation
that it cannot stay this way
forever. The whole world is in a
slump the farmer, the business man,
the professional man. Hhe banker,
:,n<i the laborer all have their trouble
wo are none of usfcby ourselves.
Talking it only tends to make conditions
worse.?-Pee Dee Advocate.
Riding To School
South Carolina spent approximately
$900,000 last year transporting
children to and from schools, and
that is one of the reasons why the
largest item in the state's appropriation
bill is for schools. Fifteen
years ago such expenditures could
not have been made. The taxpayers
would not have stood for it. And
somehow the big figures do not look
good today to men who walked to
school when they were boys, and
who now can hardly make enough
to pay taxes.?Greer Citizen.
Suggestion
Boycotting the cotton crop may
may not work. But if you wish this
country to blossom like the rose, in
short order, all the legislature has '
do is kill off every automobile foi
1932.?Calhoun Times.
Accidentally Kill* Child
On Wedni^day of la#t weak as Mr. I
and Mr*. Ralph Gregory and baby, (
and nur*e ware on their way to *
Charlotte, they met two wagons on ,
their approach to Pineville and when '
near the wagon* a negro child ran out
from behind one of the wagons, and
in hi* effort to avert striking the i
child Mr. Gregory turned his car
quickly but had the sad misfortune 1
to hit another child which quickly followed
the other child from behind the
wagop. Mr. Gregory stopped his car
und went back to where the accident
occurred and seeing that the girl had
been fatally injured, awaited the arrival
of an officer to whom he i-urrendered,
going with hnn to make
bond until the preliminary hearing
which wa? to bo held later.. Mr.
Gregory's many friends sympathize
with him deeply at the 'regrettable
accident, which, from all accounts, ,
seems to have been altogether unavoidable.?'Kershaw
Era.
A CURIOUS MALADY
It is a queer twist of the human
brain that causes u woman 93 years
old to hoard on her person and in
her trunks currency in the amount
of nearly a million dollars.
In the case of Mrs. Ida May field
Wood, widow of a^New York publisher,
who lived as a recluse with
all this cash money secreted around
her room, the courts finally held that
sh? was sufficinetly awry mentally
to warrant the appointment of relatives
to take charge of her and her
money an<J put the latter in a more
satisfactory and more secure place.
Mis. Wood was obsessed with the
fear that her money would be stolen
or lost if she let it get away from
her immediate possession. Her case
is one that might be described as
total loss of confidence in the human
race and all its financial institutions
and economic affairs. Hence
one might regard her, in a figurative
sort of way, as personifying
the Spirit of Depression.
For it is the same sort of affliction,
in a much milder degree, of'
course, in millions of the rest, of us,
that is an underlying cause of many
of the world's ills today. We are
plagued with fe^r of all sorts of
unknown catastrophes and are minded
to clutch our money all the tighter
lest we never see it or its '.ike
again.
But fortunately for^he world, it is
with most of us a mire passing ailment.
Our mental health will return
anon and we shall cease to be
haunted by the spook of imagined
disaster. And maybe it will help
our recovery to ponder over the effects
of this curious malady as evidenced
in the case of the aged lady
and her million-dollar hoard.?Greenville
News.
Collateral
Now they announce frhat "county,
paper" is no longer good collateral.
And county paper, mind you, is a
mortgage on all of the property of
all of the people1 in the county. Before
long the only method of getting
money out of a bank will bo byusing
a blow-torch. Credits are not
merely restricted?they have been
amputated.?Marion Star.
"Get Rid of Your

?say thousands of men and women
everywhere, to whom Moone's Emerald
Oil has brought blessed, comforting
relief.
Take C. A. Bowen, 213 Pearl Street,
Corning, N. Y., who says;
"I have had the eczema for 37
years and have tried out 100 different
remedies for it. I must say the
Emerald Oil beats them all."
This wonderful antiseptic oil stops
the itching Instantly. Use it freely
on the irritated patches f skin. It
gives marvelous relief before you
can draw your breath.
Make up your mind today that you!
are going to give your suffering skin
a chance to get well. Emerald Oil
will accomplish the seemingly impossible

That's a definite promise.

Contented
South Carolinians are a contented
people, too contented, perhaps. Now
is undoubtedly the opportune time
net only to impress South Carolinians
with the state's advantages, but
to move them forward with the determination
to tell others of South
Carolina's progress and development.^
As a matter of fact the state is
making remarkable progress in many
directions, and its appeal to the people
of other states is being reflected
in movement to South Carolina of
the people from other parts of the
country.?Spartanburg Herald.
