News.
The suggestion of Mr. Hal Still,
Blackville, that the legislative delega
tien from this county meet with the
fanners and other citizens at the Court
House for the purpose of discussing the
present cotton situation to the end that
they may go into the extra session with
some definite idea of the wishes of our
people is a good one and we hope that
the representatives from this county
will see fit to call such a meeting. Our
correspondent suggested that we name
the date, but we think the delegation
itself should do this, deciding upon
day that would be most convevient to
the members and the people of the
county at large.
Whatever is done along this line must
be done at once, as the extra session of
the legislature convenes October 6th
less than two weeks hence. Our col
umns are open for the publication
such a call.

Over in Georgia many farmers say
that they can pay out of debt with cot
ton at 8 cents a pound because they
have raised most of their feedstuffs
and foodstuffs at home. There is an
excellent moral in this and one which
we hope our farmers will profit by
next year. Live at home and let the
other fellow worry.
“He was in a gray suit, a broad
brimmed black soft hat, a very red bow
tie and a pink striped silk shirt. In
that shirt was a diamond, screwed in
tightly. There were diamonds in his
cuff links and a ring flashed on a finger
of his left hand," says the New York
Herald, in describing Governor Bleose
while on a trip to gay and giddy Gotham
last week.
Surely this is not our “Colie,” the
self-styled “poor man's” friend, he
who abhors the vulgar ostentation of
the new-rich! Were it not for the
“broad brimmed black soft hat" we
would be tempted to believe that our
esteemed contemporary had been gross
ly fooled by a rank imposter.
According to the Herald, he was at
the Waldorf-Astorta, one of the high
est priced hotels in the city of New
York.
We have no doubt that the farmers
who have cotton for sale would haqe a
higher 3”;nion qf thi§ “champeen" of
tfieir rights if he had used sortie of th6
money that went for the purchase of
diamonds, etc., in relieving them of a
few bales of distess cotton.
Many manufacturers are-substituting
cotton for hemp in making coverings
for their output. This is a good plan
and if universally followed will open
up a market for many thousands of
bales of cotton.
We hear on every hand expressions
in favor of a reduced cotton acreage
next year. This sounds good and we
hope that such resolutions are not like
early morning headaches—soon for
gotten.
FACTS AND FANCIES
FROM FAIR FAIRFAX
A Chicago breakfast cereal company
has informed the State department of
agriculture that in addition to ordering
all their Southern representatives to
buy for their account a bale of cotton
each at ten cents a pound, they had
placed a large order for fee Muffs bags
of cotton, the first delivery to be 1,000,-
000 bags. Better and better. From all
over the Union come encouraging re
ports of the spread of the buy-a-bale
movement and new sources of demand
are being opened nearly every day.
The farmers themselves could help
some bv using cotton cloth for bagging
instead of jute bagging, as at present.
This would utilize many thousands of
bales and would make a neater finished
product.

C. P. Hammond, of Spartonburg, in a
letter to The State, suggests the
“buy-a-bolt of-cotton” plan to solve
the present cotton problem, arguing
that the merchant is already heavily
loaded with cotton goods - and that in
order to create a demand the farmers
shotrid go into the market. While this

0NSIDEB what business would be WITHOUT BANKS. No man
should think of starting an enterprise before he arranged to OPEN
AN ACCOUNT. HOW DOES HE STAND AT THE BANK? is a
question asked at some time about every business man.
A good WORKABLE BANK BALANCE is essential to
every successful business man.

YIELDING PLACE TO NEW.”

King Arthur sadly realized this truth when in passing
away, he gave utterance to the above thought. So it is
■ ... r • > the
mankind's of business, banking included: the old way if
J not adapted to modern progress must give place to newer
methods. Keeping money at home, subject to loss by ,
, theft and fire, has for the most part passed away in Barn-
‘ well County by reason of modern facilities in banking.
MONEY IN BANK, CHECK BOOK IN POCKET
is the new order now practiced by all who are really
progressive.
First, select the bank wisely, and ifthe acid test of capi
tal stock protection is used, you will choose this bank.
Then ask for the check book which we furnish without
cost to you. We want your business and heartily invite
you to maintain business relations with us.

“I want to tell you what wonderful benefit I have re
ceived from the use of Thedford’s Black-Draught,” writes
Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky»
“It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds,
liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught
saved my little girl’s life. When she had the measles,
they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford’s
Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no
more trouble. 1 shall never be without
BLack-DraugHT
G
in my home.” For constipation, indigestion, headache, dizzi
ness, malaria, chills and fever, biliousness, and all similar
ailments, Thedford’s Black-Draught has proved itself a safe,
reliable, gentle and valuable remedy.
If you suffer from any of these complaints, try Bkck-
Draught It is a medicine of known merit Seventy-five
years of splendid success proves its value. Good for
young and old. For sale everywhere. Price 25 cents.
