ATTEND THK MEETINGS The Press and Standard would urge the people of this county to at land the meetings scheduled to be held in the interest of the bond issue for good roads. The voters in whose hands rests the destiny ok.this county in the matter of good road» should vote for or against the bon ? Issue solely front the standpoint of reason.

In order to think intelligent!' and vote correctly. out peopV should attend the meetings to is held and hear the arguments used by the advocates of the bond issue You do not have to agree with what you hear, but in fairness you shonl I hear. Therefore, will not every volet attend one of these meetings?

Why will any one clorfe his eyes to a fdbt Just as real as daylight or darkness.- Farm ers in other States have believed the same thing and as a consequence have faced financial ruin. You men of Colleton will do the sanio thjiK unless you realize your danger i prepare against it. Hea#1 what st i- tisfir* carefully prepared say of oth er states. Will we fare better, and. Jf so, why? 9 “In Louisiana, since the advent of the boll weevil, the yield has dropped from as much as 1.100,000 bales (season of 1904-05) to 27.1,. 000 bales; in Mississippi front 1,- • 00.000 to Sno.noo estimated for 1916-17 crop; in Alabama, the cot ton ginned up to January 16. 1914, was 1.676.000 bales; in 1915 it was 1,100,000 bales; this year up to date, it has bee B only 643,000 bales or one-half of last year, or one-third of two years ago. Just think what it will do In Georgia! These are statistical facts.” We can raise other crops than cotton equally well. With the pack ing house at Orangeburg our grain and forage crops- can be profitably marketed through our hogs and cat tle. So let our farmers plant as l.t. tie cotton this year as they can. and as much of other crops as they may. The following quotation from a paper handed us by a banker friend is apropos: "The world needs all of the food and forage crops that can be pro dueed In 1917 and at prices most favorable to dhe farmers. The South will become a land overflow ing with wealth and will at last.have come Into its own.” The Southern farmer ought to realize this. The thing for him to do is to diversify; noi increase his cotton acreage; and by next fall h-' will have enough feed and foot stuffs to supply himself, market ni. surplus, if any, and sell his cotton at a price that will yield him lm mens** returns. There, is not Ver> much in if for the farmer if he on!' gets 16 cents a pound for his cotton and pays the Western fainter $2.0" a hush'd for wheaj in the form of flour. $1.00 a bushel for corn am! 15 cents a pound for meat. Curtail your cotton crop; plant more corn, peas, peanuts, velvet beatui. hay crops: raise live stock; and at the epd of the year you will own ydir own *1 00 n bushel corn, or 10 cent hogs and it cent cattle, and sell yotn cotton for 25 cents or 30 cents a pound.” The H.

But perhaps, the business management of these newspapers are supreme am. think more of the last few dollar^ they can extract from the departing liquor dealers, than (or the respect and confidence of the “fanatical prohibitionists.” who. by the way. are Just now so numerous in our State and Nation. AH but a verv few; newspapers in South Carolina, including soma of our lending dailies, have lung since refused space to The President has signed the bill which prohibits all shipment of liquor Intq “dry” territory. This »* the greatest victory ever won by th« prohibitionists, and it means that w«- shall have national prohibition much sooner than our fondest hopes could have expected a few months ago.

In this connection, the following editorial from the Manufacturers’ Record will be read with interest hv our people: “Real progress is now being made in the destruction of the licensed liquor traffic of the. country and also in the destruction of the de- ispieahle ways which have been used by liquor interests to cirfuinvent the law i n dry States.
