SEPTEMBER 25, 1913. There were 22,990,918 pounds of to bacco sold in the Pee Dee section of South Carolina this year, bringing in •3,211,110.12 to the farmers of that part of the State. This enormous amount of ready money enabled them to pay off all, or nearly all. of their indebtedness, leaving thir cotton crop clear, to be sold aaw or held for a further advance in pnet, as they may »ee fit The People has had very little to say lately of the boll weavti, but he it ttill making tteady progress In this dwrc txm and unless tome feasible plan la found to check hit march the cotton field! of thit State Will be in\ade<1 m t few yean In wh*t condition wdl hr fmd the cottontot farmer*’ So provi* mo that we kno* of it being made for hu coming that it. in thia te« tion of b'TUth *. ap^lina When the production of cotton it cut down thouttn.lt of hale* yeart, • hat it going to be the result ' Mum absolute rum foe those who arc aisking cotton their entire deiendcn'-c Severs * e« ra ago t tfent.cir.an • ho knew shat he eat V* • ng it*ouf rc Started in the hca-'ng .,fthc tteWt c' John Hoimet that • • a, t fn,tter> to hiir sh* the ’frrr a ' '*• , ve> • .r dad not demote • |aM of their a. re age t.» the groat.ng of ! •(>*,*., The *nda of Ihlt count) he as ! ne'e ;uat right t r the production of a f nr g*»dc ' the "wsed 1 and that the owne-* mr'r As tf w« hare aot eoougk to m»« n j o*” *• the statament that tba world has orsrly rrsched tha limit of pro duction, snd that in a hundred years from now there will not be bread enough made to feed the population of the globe.

That’s all very wellf but it seems to us that the advocates of race suicide will find a very good argument in the above. They can argue that they do not care to run the chance of their Children’a children dying of starvation. “We feel some little bit of sympathy for Governor Sulzer, but at the same time we never did have much respect for a man who would even consider hiding behind a woman’s skirts to shield himself,’’ says the Gaffney Ledger. Now,honest, wouldn’t a man who tried to hide behing a hobble or a diaphanous or a slit skirt be an even bigger fool than the ostrich, which sticks its head in the sand and imagines that it is com pletely out of view? DEATHS. IXjXjXST03ST C*pt. George W. Peacock. The many Barnwell County friends of Capt. George W. Peacock were sin cerely grieved Saturday afternoon to hear of his sudden death at his home near Barnwell, in the 79th year of his age. Capt. Peacock had been in long ill health, and while it was generally known th-it the end was not far off, the shock of the sudden summons was nevertheless great to those who had known him and loved him for the up right life that he led On Sunday af ternoon the weary bod> was laid to rest in the cemetery at Long Branch Church, of which he had long beerf a consistent member the Be\ George Mopkms, his [>a»tor assisted h\ the Rev W I.

Can cotton do that well for you? An esteemed subscriber asked us last week why we did not have any ed itorials in that issue of The People. The few that we had prepared were crowded out by news letters and ad vertisements, and we thought that our readers would welcome the relief. We are glad to know, however, that what we have to say editorially is read with interest by some of our subscribers and that they mias this feature of the pa per when it is left out. The water pipes and the “lowering clouds” have been vieing with each other in springing leaks here lately, and the result is that the streets are in an unusually sloppy condition.
