Dcn’t be misled in.to selling: your cotton at five or six cents a pound, a* you were last fall, by political and other pessimists. Don’t fret frightened and rush your cotton to market except to the extent that you have to sell it to meet your financial obli gations. for the undue crowding of cotton 6n the market plays in the hands of speculators, who by their tactics now being em ployed would break down the price of your ccttop and enable them to buy it. to their profit and to ycur loss, as they did last year. j ^ * Don’t expect either this government or any other to buv your cotton. The government has no more right to buy cotton than to buy grain or hog*. ' ■ . Don’t look for any uneconomic and impossible legislation in behalf cf cotton, for most of the theories* advanced have bordered on asininity, and some of them have quite reached that stage. Don’t for a moment think that you can barter your honor and your soul and shape your convictions as to right or wrong in world affairs for the price of a bale of cotton, v. Don’t seek to blackmail other countries by threatening retali- ItU! ation because their work may interfere w*ith the temporary sell ing price of your cotton. Don’t peymit politicians or others to hold you up before the world as willing to accept a bribe, and to shape your judg ment of right from wrong in human affairs by the price that this country or that might be willing to pay for your cotton. Don’t forget that though you have raised more cotton than the South ought*to have produced, there is an intrinsic value in cotton which can not be permanently destroyed. - ^ ^ Don’t forget that you can carry your cotton for years with out its deterioration, and that the time will come, unless the South continues to grow more cotton than the world demands, when every bale of cotton will be needed at a good price. Don’t defraud your creditors by refusing to sell cotton to meet vour, obligations, but when you have sold enough to pav your debts, don’t forget that the balance is yours to hold until doomsday, if you please, and await the time when the world will pay you your price for it. \ ** Don’t, above all else, permit yourself to be misled into believ- tha ing that your cotton is worth more than your honor; that your cotton mii5?t set your standard of morals in studying world af fairs. ‘ Don’t forget that he who poses the cotton growers of the South before the world as beggars asking alms, or as regarding a bale of cotTbn of more value than human life, or the p rice of a pound of cotton more to be considered than individual and nation al ijonor, is the w’orst enemy which the South has ever had or ever can have.—The Manufacturers Record.

If what people say Is to In- taken as their true intentions, then this county will go dry by a over whelming -majority. But no advo cate of prohibition must take it for granted that his vote Is not needec k is. and for the reason that iinany counties may not have the votes to spare which Colleton wllj doubtless have. This is a State wide election and not |one of llocal significance alone. The result will not change the status in Colleton county in so far as prohibition Is concerned, for this county will remain ‘Mry’ Therefore, The Press and Standard would urge every prohibitionist »o go to the polls on the 14th of S p- tember and vote.

' A Bridge To Ituild. The bridge across the Edisto riv er at Jacksonoboro ferry is a prac tical necessity if a really first-class highway system southward from Charleston Is to be developed. It would help greatly in , establishing closer relations- between Charleston and the people of Colleton county. It would add immeasurably to the value of the automobile route be tween Charleston and Savannah. The Colleton county authorities have definitely agreed, as we under stand. to have Colleton county bear « fair proportion of the expense qT constructing such a bridgy as is contemplated. We hope that the authorities in Charleston coun*y will he able to see their way clear to lehding their co-operation in put ting the project through with as jittle delay- as possible This city ran not afford to neglect any op portunity of providing as far as its resources will permit first class communications between Charleston and ail th'at country continguous to charleston the busines* ,of which ought naturally to gravitate in this direction.- The News K«d Courier.
