A cotton grader for Union County
will be a move in the right direction
and it is a move that Union County is
going to make unless all signs fail.
(
Seems to us that the watermelons
are sweeter this year than for many a
year and tney nave ben quite plentiful,
too.
It is one of the evils of a political
year that one has to be confronted on
every page of the newspaper with the
doings and sayings of the politician.
But it is one of the prices that must
be paid by Democracy.
It is strange how the allied nations
can stand by and see Bolshevik Russia
crush Poland. Either soviet Russia
is not the bad thing we have been
taught to believe or the allied nations
are so far spent themselves that i
there is no remaining strength in'
them.
The rains of the last two days have
saved many thousand bushels of corn, ^
and the cotton crop has been material-1
Ivr V|p)np/1 Anrtf l\n?. * '
v uv.|#vu, iiiiuinvi v> ccrw wituuui
rain would have resulted in serious!
damage to the crops. It seems thatj1
the rains were quite general through- j
out the South. .
We hope it will not be long before
the city authorities can sell our street
bonds and begin improving the city
streets. The worst roads to be found
in the county are now within the city
limits and if not given attention this
summer the condition will be very
much worse this winter. So far, we
understand, the bonds have not been
sold and the bidding is such as to preclude
selling.
Governor Cox, Democratic presidential
candidate, is accused of being a
"fence-straddler" by Senator Harding,
Republican presidential candidate.
The truth is, the shoe is on the other
foot. The reason for Hardiner's lone
delay in coming out with his speech of
acceptance was the fact that he was attempting
to straddle the fence on almost
every great issue. He belongs to
the fence-straddling crowd. But this
is going to be a tithe when such tactics
will be unavailing.
We notice that the slump Jn the
price of oil has already beg"un, if reports
be true. In our humble judgment
the slump in well night everything
else is beginning. The undreamed
of profits in all lines of
trade and the corresponding high
wages cannot go on. There is bound
to be a reaction and the reaction is
" coming sooner than most people sus- !
pect. The settling down to normal 1
will hurt only the unsound business .
and the foolish workingman. The 1
profiteer and the untrained and in- <
competent worker will see an end to
the ficticious and fallacious conditions
that have allowed them free
a
rein.

* LUXURY WAVE RECEDING ,
It has not been easy for the Ameri*rt
people to believe that the wave of
high prices had really reached its
jest and broken. They have Been
afraid that .the slump which came,
lome five or six weeks ago was only
temporary and have been fearful that
still worse things were in store for
them than those they have undergone.
But at last many aVe timidly beginning
to accept as a fact that deflation
has really set in. Doubts as to the
genuiness of the price reaction are
steadily diminishing, we are told in
Dun's weekly review of business, which
declares that "monthly comparisons of
wholesale quotations disclose continued
yielding and the sharply increased '
commercial mortality, as revealed in
statistics of failure, is an addeci indication
of the transition that is now in
progress." *
There is plenty of evidence to support
the new conviction to which the
business world is settling down. Of .
special interest is the report which 1
comes from Washington that luxury
rax receipts are falling off. According
to the correspondent of The Sun (
and New York Herald, this is said by
Government experts to show positively
that "the stampede has stopped at
stores selling luxuries, including automobiles,
diamonds and extravagant
clothing" and is taken as a certain
indication that "the national wave of
extravagance has passed." It would be
more accurate, of course, to say that
it is passing, but that in itself is
sufficiently gratifying. The Washington
correspondent of The Sun and New ^
York Herald reports that diamond importations
have dropped off more than '
25 per cent; that "candy mechants ^
all over the United States are complaining
of a dropping off of business."
and that big reductions have been
forced in the wholesale price of many
materials. f
There are, of course, lines of business
and industry which will not
feel the change for some time yet.
?pilding operations of almost all kinds
are so much behind, for instance, that
except as money conditions may affect >
the situation, the slacking up of con- 1
struction work is likely to be very
gradual. But the weight of opinion is i
that the peak has been passed and 1
the return to conditions more nearly 1
i
approximating normal has definitely t
set in. As The Sun and New York ?
Herald said several weeks ago, "the *
bloom is off the boom." In another ^
-wiunin win dc lountl an article from r
the New York Evening Post which *
gives an informing analysis af the *
conditions now developing. It will be /
noted that this exceptionally well in- j
formed newspaper in matters of this '
kind, is of the opinion that "a further ,
lowering of prices in many productive i
industries" is inevitable." ?

k^eps a stout rein on his temper.
