Monday’s meeting Was announced in the daily papers only, but had it been arranged in time for the county papers to have men tioned it last week we say without fear of contradiction that the attendance would have been several times as large, our friend (?) whose opinion is quoted above to the contrary not withstanding. While the citizens of Barnwell are “swatting the fly" by cleaning up their premises, would it not be a good idea for the city fathers to swat the mosquito by having the ditches of the town thoroughly cleaned out,- so that no stagnant water will accumulate to breed malaria carriers ?

Hence, if one refuses to grow foodstuffs for patriotic reasons, he should he im pressed with the fact that it is good business judgment to <|o so. At pres ent prices for products imported by the farmers of this State, cotton is cheap at 20 cents a pound, and any material increase in the prices of im ported articles will spell ruin to thous ands of cotton planters if the fleecy staple sells below that figure. Then, too, there is the boll weevil to be considered. It is agreed that this is possibly the last full crop of cotton , that will be made in this section of the State. That being the case, it would seem that this is a most excel lent time to break away from the all cotton system and adopt other meth ods.

Subscribers are asked to report trouble immediately, and to exercise a. reasonable patience while it is being cleared. If you do not see a man actually working on your telephone, it does not mean that you are not receiving proper attention. The difficulty may be at the switch board, in the cable or at any one of sev eral other places. Two or three men may be at work hunting it down. «It is always our first consideration to dear troubles promptly.
