El L THE BARNWELL PEOPLE Entered at the post office at Barnwell, S. C., as second-class matte;. JOHN W. HOLMES 1840-1912 B. P. DAVIES, Editor and Proprietor. THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1916. * Cut the Acreage. With planting time fast approach- in(?, there is nothing more important to farmers than the question of cot ton acreage this year. We. do not believe that any sensible farmer is g6ing to increase his acreage this year, for the lesson of 1914 is still fresh in his mind.' It is true that the staple brought a " good price last Fall, but the main reas(<h was that the crop was short. Another reason was that, profiting by the near-disaster of 1914, farmers had raised a large amount of corn, and hogs were more plentiful than at any time in the recollection of the writer. The Texas Hankers’ Association has t sounded theTollowing warning to cot ton planters: With cotton now hovering around eleven and one-half cents up-State, despite the eleven million bale crop of 1915, with practically no ships to move our cotton crop to -foreign shores, with no present indication of the end of the war and with the buy ing power of the.world being gradu ally lessened day by day, it seems al most idle to point out that _any market! increase in acreage over last year is going to result in great dis aster to Southern cotton producars and Southern merchants and bank- t* em. Don’t invite financial ruin by ait over-production of cotton. 'Raise plenty of corn, oats, etc., and move your smokehouse from the West to your own farm. True prosperity can best be atUined via the hog and homi ny route. “The German editors don’t want a pro-Orman president not a pro-Br>’ ish, but they do want a pro-American president,’’ says Richard Bartholdt. in diaraaaing 'Xhe first session of the National Association of German Pub lishers. And that's just exactly what they have got, only they are so affect sd with an acuta attack of kaiaerttis that they refuse to acknowledge it. The People appreciates very much the high compliment paid this paper by the Saluda Standard last week, coming as it does from a front-rank journal. Felicitations are mutual, for The Standard has improved wonder fully in the past few weeks, both in its typographical appearance and in the matter of excellent reading mat ter. Long may it wave! One of the planks in the platform of an announced candidate for Govern or is the “decrease of present dny law lessness." With the ‘record of said candidate fresh in the minds of the people such an announcement will on ly produce ribald laughter. Once upon a time there was a Zep pelin crew that did not drop bombs on defenceless cities. It was Luke Mc- Luke who said that all fairy tales be gin with “once upon a time.” —o i The latest German air raTil "overc England was .a miserable failure, no women and children having been slaughtered. —o- - The People has added a large num ber of new volunteer subscribers to its list since January 1st. “There’s a reason.” , —o— ■ There’s an editor up in Pennsyl vania nambd Livengood, and we hope he is.
