SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year -> $1-50 Six Months 1—— Three Months LX .60 (Strictly in Advance.) THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, lf>2l Ex-Gov. Bleape tp the United States Senate .with eqiihnimit^ and for the most part-have been very moderate in their editorial expressions. This should not he surprising. A- htr-K as Mr. Blease saw fit to center his at tack- on the newspapers, they replb* 1 in kind. When he changed his tac tic#, the editors seem to have accent ed his statement that he had turned over a new leaf and are quite willing to give him every chance to make good in. the Senate. The present attitude of the newspapers is merely in keen ing with their spirit of fair-play. „ J. Clifford Rivers, State warehouse commissioner, is advising the far mers, of South.-Carolina to hold their cotton for an advance, which he esti mates at from $50 to $00 pet hale In support of his prediction, he point? out that on September 1st, 1921, there was a surplus of 10,000^,000 bales, ■whereas on the same date this year there .were only 1,000,000 bales. While w^v think that the price of cotton is entirely too low, The People is not advising the farmers one way or the other. It is for them to decide whether they sell or hold for a possi-^ |)le advance. Frankly, we can seen no good rea- wm why cotton should be selling as ciheapty TiR it' is today. Ar short time ago, the gvtvemment came out with a gauss (we refuse to dignify it with the term “estimate”) that the crop would he about 13,000,000 bales. Cot ton then brought 23Vj to 24 cents in Barnwell. Two week* later they ''guessed” again, reducing their pre vious “guess” by something like a quarter million bales. ‘ The market promptly went down again, and an other big break Momlav put middling <xytton under 20 cents in Barnwell. One reason for Monday’s slump wa that the government experts stated that heavy rains in Texas were item 1 ticial. While we ore not much of a farmer and lay no claims to being an “expert,” it does seem that most anv- L> iy would know that rain- -tins time of yeai' are not iK'neficial to cot ton, but are very detrimental, lower ing the grades, etc. Even if the nlanf should put on new growth, as cluimed, it i- too late 4o mature any new fruit leforc frost, leaving the It'll \V'i'V : ! ' • • • - ' • ‘ . ..v ©ntirely out of the/calculations, a. the so-called experts seem to havo »lone to date. We may he mistaken., hut our aue is that the final product ion -will' be much nearer twelve million than thin teen million bale-. In the meantime, however, those who Vnnt cheap cot ton are ; being assisted in every way by the government guessers anil c\- JH-rts. * . “.Ma” Ferguson, who was recently nominated for Governor of Texas, >ays that she is going to save the people of that State several million dollars a year by cutting out useless expenditures. Among other things, she intends to stop tjie appropriation for sending young women over the State to teach house-keepers how to make jam. “Ma” says the mother- can take care of that. A little of that spirit in South Carolina would do much to solve the tax problem. rendering is only years old, hut the figures of. the past year, demon strated by the thousands who are qualified in institutes and classes ^th life saving, the value of life saving in a community, Blackville ladies look ed after the social side by providing, delicious sandwiches and iced tea for the out-of-town guests, and a social hour was greatly enjoyed. " Those participatirlg |in the demon stration in the life saving corps from Aiken, most of all who are qualified life savers of recent date, were the following: Messrs. C. Lee (Iowan, George Croft, Jr., instructors; Ran dall Croft, Jr,, Alderman Duncan, Henry Schroder, Jr., Chas.

It is superior to the coal-burning loc - motive because of the absence of smoke and noise, while its Advantages over the electric type is shown in the discarding of the over-head trolley or the more dangerous third-rail. It i- also more economical, the fuel con- sumprtion* per hour ranging between 20 and 2<? cents’ worth of oil, which, we are told, is “approximately on'*- third the cost of coal required by i steam locomotive . . burning soft coal” and oply about one-tenth th; ’ of anthracite coal.
