It certainly does not look like original we -knew while he was with us at Anderson. PERSONAL RESOLVE work done in this county in a Tong time was that of- the citizen:i of Cot- tageville last week In working their roads themselves, ft was a practi cal de-Biohstration of the work which 'can be done by co-operation. There was a need for better roads in that community. - . The county road work ing forces' .were engaged elsewhere, and could not get to. them at this time. Not beinjr content to sit down and Jauffer the hardships'of bog and jnud they, determined to rid thel^T-oads of this condition. And they were willing to make the per sonal sacrifices necessary to sccom- plish the end-desired. Accordingly Cottageville is better off several hundred days work on their roadi. and she is infinitely better off, be cause of the fraternal spirit engen dered in this (work. ^ They >:now each other better, and know who’ can be counted upon to help push forward their community. Tru£ there were citizens of Cot- .tagevi|le Community ‘who dd not help in this work. There are cit»- sens who did not help even though this work *-as being done in front of their very doors, and this will b-» true in all such movements and for all time. But Is the community to sit down and do notbiag because s few men are non-progressive and monumentally aelflsh? Better do a little work for them, than let the entire community lack. This is what Cottageville did. and. The Press and Standard, takes off its hat to them. But this spirit will spread. Great Swamp is doing the same thing this week, and other commu nities will do the same'thing soon. First thing you know Smoaks wiil hive a road working, or Stokes, or Ruffin, or Lodge, or Rice Patch, or Hendersonville, or Roadside or any oth^r 'community center where the citizens are public spirited.

The outlook for the farmers of the county is very mtich better by comparison with their condition a year ago. Floundering about with no hope, and no one to whom they might look for assistance and aid in handling their cotton crop, they were indeed devoid of hope. That was a year ago. A great war had Just beeh declared, and the markets of the world closed to the South’.-* money crop. No one could offer a suggestion that would help them. But how infinitely better It is this year. The Federal Reserve bank has • bean organized, and at its head is a man of great common sense who ,^leems to be able to rise above the sordid- Influences of the time, and who has the courage of his convic tions. and does not .hesitate to sty to Wall street that he intends tp help the farmers of the South to the ex tent of the resources of the. Federal Government. There w.ill be no sac rIficeH necessary this year. The far mer need not sell his cotton at ruin eusly low prices. He can hold it and get money to pay his obliga tions. Secretary McAdoo lias offer ed as a starter $3).000,000 in GOLD to be deposited in the bank* of the South. The South is recognized as a part o fthe nation, and her monev crop must not be sacrificed.
