M. & Tax;: AT Editor Knight of the Bamberg Herald comes In his last week’s paper with some pretty straight tal about the lack of support he is getting from the business men of the town. He hints thr-t if this condition does not improve he will ' mdve his plant to some other place. We have been noticing for a long time that he has been getting but little advertising from his home merchant*, we cat<iot understand why this Is. He gets out one of the best and neatest papers published anywhere In the State, and It la a credit to Bamberg. But we are wondering Whether or not such a public arraignment of the business men of the town Is a tactful thing to do. Does Brother Knight “go out after the business4" Or does he sit back in his beautifully equip ped sanctum and wait for it to epme In? If the mountain will not come to Mahomet Mahomet • t must go to the mountain. The National Farmers’ Union Con vention held a few days ago at Shawnee, Okla., advised the farmers of the South to hold their cotton for 14 and 15 cents. The confer, once of planters bankers, business men, and officials held last week at Montgomery, Ala., claim that cot’’ ton should bring not less than 15 | cents and urges farmers to hold for that figure. So the advice from < Mts at 75 cents, per Bushel, both these gatherings is to the farmers to warehouse their cot- top end market it gradually, thus forcing the mill man and manufar. turer to give a living price for the •taple. „ This is very' good, but we just rise to remark that such advice will not do th? farmers of Colleton conn ty a bit of good. They have not m warehouse. How tong Will they be content for such a condition- to exlatf The farmer can if he will. Will he?
