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. Hill, Jr,
Herbert Gyles, Jr., and the following
young ladies, chaperoned by Mrs.

Schroder, Virginia Wyman, Florence
Hill and Eleanor Henderson.

... The newest thing in railroad_equin-
Tne»4 is an oil-tdectric locomotive
which is teeing triedoutas a shifting
engine in Newv York City. It ha>
many advantage^ over other types.
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. The new locom >-
