on farmers holding cotton for 15

and splendid one. The time was
never more opportune. Repre

Permanent Improvement*.
Dr C N Burckhaltcr bclicvt-s in im
provements and permanent one* at
that. In fact, so strong is his belief
along this line that he *s willin'r, not to
say anxious, logo down in his jeans or
his sock or wherever it is he keeps th*
good old coin of the realm and plank
down one hundred cold plunks, Lucks,
beans or dollars, if you please—what’s
in a name, anyhow?—for the aforesaid
permanent improvements. To make a
long story short, this progressive drug
gist has been awakened to the necessi
ty of paving Main Street—said awaken
ing being caused, no doubt, by the se
vere jolting occasioned by an afternoon
drive down that thoroughfare of trade
and travel behind one of his fast, coun
ty-bred thoroughbreds.
But seriously, Main Street is sadly in
need of attention and Dr. Burckhaltcr
has started the ball rolling in the right
direction by contributing$100, provided
that the other property holders affected
will “come across” with a like amount.
It is his idea to use vitrified brick if the
cost is not prohibitive, but if this comes
too high he is in favor of some cheaper
material so long as it promises some
degree of permanency.
This is a vital question and one that
affects the business men of the town
greatly. The People hopes that the
other property owners along the terri
tory proposed for paving will join Dr.
Burckhalter in his campaign for per
manent improvements. Who will be
the next to follow his public spirited
step?

The following item from the Gaffney
Ledger of Sept. 9th will be read with
interest by the friends of Dr. J. C.
Creech in this county. He is the pro
prietor of the drug company mentioned
in the Ledger’s article:
The Gaffney Drug Co. has purchased
from Messrs. Clarence Turner and G.
M. Phifer their building now occupied
by The Gaffney Furniture Co. and will
move January 1st. This building is an
ideal one for a drug store and is in the
very heart of the busineas section of
the town. This is s good move for the

“As I told the fanners of Barnsrall
County recently in a public address at
one of their meetings, there haa aot
been a bale of Cotton actually aoM
in that or any other county of South
Carolina for years, simply because tha
speculators and brokers buy at thoir
own prices instead of asking tho
grower and producer what he waste
for cotton. It has not been a eaon
of what the producer wanted aa
as it has been what the buyer
to pay for the product of our
plantations and it is high time for
awakening as to the right of the
ducer to have a voice in the market*
ing of this product in which he has
expended every ounce of straaghh
energy and fruitfulness in tho effort
to gain a legitimate livelihood. I ami
glad that movements of this load have
spread all over the state and into oth

ducer, especially this year when
visible supply has been so
depleted. --
