V . / ' s Tho drastic decline of 1,000 points in the price of cotton from the high level reachod last November—moet of which has occurred in the past few ' weeks—is taken by many as a fight of the moneyed interests of the North and East against the cooperative cot ton marketing association, and if euch is the ease the challenge should be accepted and the* fight waged to a finish.

If it enables the asso ciation to control a majority of the <*otton produced in the South, the losses to individuals in recent weeks will bo money well spent. The farmers have it within their power to put cotton to a price that will at least insure the comforts of life to themselves and their families, and that power lies in a reduction cf the cotton acreage this year. The People is at loss to understand why the loaders of the agricultural classes have not inaugurAted an acreage re duction movement, knowing ns they do that a large crop this year will mean ruination prices. If cotton yun decline $50 a bale in the face of an acute shortage, to what level will it gojf, unfortunate.y, a Targe cri p should he raised? It is better to lx* safe than sorry.

Fif'y years is a goodly span in the life of an individual or a business, and certainly worthy of celebration. J. B. White & Company, the big Augusta department store, plan to fittingly celebrate the fiftieth anniyer- sary of the-establishment business with a Golden Jubiledfrnnd Anniversary Sale beginning ykm.i 3l5t. When the founder of this.Jwiness Mr. J. B. White, first opened the store, fifty years ago, it was almost a one- man institution. The boss literally “took down the shutters and turned f off the gas!” But he built along the right lines, the lines of hard wo*k,- truthfulness and honor, with the de termination to give Service to ' his customers, and the utmost in value with every sale. No wonder the busi ness has prospered anil grown into a truly metropolitan institution with hundreds of employees, and serving the public within a radius of one hun dred miles of Augusta with choice.t merchandise brought from every quarter of the g’ube. J. B. White & Company is no longer simply a “Dry Goods- Store”—hut a modem ' department store with fifty odd departments; each a store in it self. At White’s you will fill the needs of men. women and children, tho fittie.-t as well as more moderate jr-icod furniture, carpets, china, nianos, etc. AU of these d ypartments, Buicks Serve Indefinitely So often the remark is made, “Buicks never wear out”. The service record of Buick cars, through out the country fully justifies this statement. No matter how many years a Buick owner drives his car or how many miles he travels, his Buick continues to perform faithfully and economically. Why not use Buick transportation yourself? Any Buick dealer stands ready to give you a demonstration. 1 —-— F-w.»C-NP $ DENMARK BUICK CO., DENMARK, S.
