SEPT. 24th 1914* European war lords are working over time. ^ v< * * * Keep the United States out of the war at any cost.

Much of the crime reported in the newspapers is a resuls of idle lives. * * * * Of course the rain falls on the just and the unjust, but this means if it falls at all. * * * * The Mexican war scare was not more than over before all Europe was in a blaze. * * 4 * When hard pressed in the midst of war the best thing to do is what Germany did?run. * * * * Every man sees a world of goodness in himself and nothing but bad in the other felow. * * * * Keep the boys and girls employed in some useful work, and they will stay out of mischief. * * * Take time by the forelock and look ahead as well as behind. Any other way there is danger. * * * * * ? - - - v^ranKs always have their part to play in the affairs of the State, even in the cotton situation. ? * The tobacco farmers are in much better condition financially than the growers of cotton this year. * * Fire will purify it is said, and this is the reason many use it, but they forget that it will also destroy. i * ; This is a time for the exercise of common sense as well as the careful handling of dollars and cents. * * * * There are many in this world who fortune entirely for the reason that * they are too impatient to wait for it ! * ? i Some men will weep tears of rejnorae, at the loss of a five cent piece i and will throw away a whole day'f t time without thinking about it. i . ; < > < : ' i. ^ .

Bu laziness is one thirig that cool day cannot cure. ; , . , vLook at tl\e other man's failing without glasses but wear goggle when looking at your own. This i the every day rule. * * * * A Rood potato crop is needed by ev ery farmer in the county. These ar< many who fail to realize the profit! there is in this crop. - I ? * * f t The crops this year have proved t< be more abundant than the farmer: expected owing to the adverse season: during the first of the Summer. * ? # * Kissing on the public street is re garded as rather an odd thing no mat tor what the relations of the parties engaged in it may be, or supposed t< be. The purpose of the mind is to enable man to look ahead and anticipate the future to some extent, while he applies the lessons that he learned ir the past. * * * * The pocple of Europe will have tc have bread and meat when they gel i out of the war. They will need ciothej I it is true, but something to eat wil come first. * * * * * With the price of cotton below the living point, it is inr.eed a gloom> : time for the farmers of this State. But there are better times ahead for then if they will do the proper thing. ! ' * + * * Prepare now for the hard times that will surely come to this country next year, unless the European war should wind up at once, and you know that miracles do not happen in these days. * * * The things for the farmer to raise next year will be beef, beacon and bread, just as stated in an article recently written by one of the great heads of the International Harvester Com pany. + * * * The man who gets drunk and becomes a nuisance to everybody he meets on the street gets loss than he deserves when he gets struck in the mouth and later has to pay a line before the Mayor. * * * * Every professional man in the world is bothered more or less with the fellow who comes around to talk about business, but who is never ready to do business. He is generally handled carefully in order to get rid of him. ? ? * ? Each business man has his own views as to the best way to take care of the situation brought about by the want of a market for the cotton crop, This paper is open to each and every ; one who would like to express his views to the farmers. * * # * Like a brother editor who was nol afraid to express himslf the other day we are not taking sides in the European war since it appears that i1 brinirs such results in this eonnt.rv but we would not care if both sides got wiped off the face of the earth. * Many of the farmers have already made up their minds to raise corn an< pigs next year. They know that evei now, there is more money in thes< than in cotton and tobacco. Condi tions for beef, bread and bacon wil I be much better next year than the; are now. * * There is enough big talk every da; on >the street corners of any smal ' town to raise a nation to Glory o * sink a whole country to perdition, a the particular case may happen to b< t Fortunate it is that there never wa , and niever will be very much force t I .. j\ J ~ i such talk. * Although the tobacco crop sold fo r less than it would if it had not bee for the war in Europe, still as a ger ' eral thing, the planters of the wee i have been satisfied with the market Many a debtor will walk around j dozen blocks any day to keep frot ? meeting his creditor. % ' HORRY COTTON MEN !| : CULLED TO MEET f AT THE COURT HOUSE HERE ON OCTOBER 1st AT ELEVEN , O'CLOCK. * > ' FORM OF THE PLEDGE S g S " ~ V ; J; Each Man Should Fay the One Dollar Requested,?Many Will No Doubt Sign the Fledge The Form of Which Appears Below. e Wade Stackhousc, president of the 3 South Carolina Division Southern H Cotton Congress, has issued the fol- I lowing call for a ipeeting at the court I ^ house of each county in the State: "I hereby call a meeting of the I Southern Cotton Congress in each I 5 county in South Carolina at the court I house 11 a. M., October 1st. I request' that these meetings be called in ad-1 dition to any other that may have j - been held. I hope before that date j 3 each county will have been organized, j j That in each County hundreds of peo- i pie will be wearing badges, indicating they have paid $1.00 to help boost the price of cotton and that we have I their support in trying to hold one-' ' i third of this crop and for reducing - the 1915 crop 50 per cent. We are go-1 i ir.g to use your dollar to help us or- j ganize. While we shall be glad to t have you contribute $1.00 to the or-1 ) ganization, we are not going to let that keep you from our meetings or ! from receiving all the benefits we can 51 secure. If you work a onc-horse farm r< ' or a fifty horse farm; if you make one Kj bale or 500 bales; rich or poor, white fa Dr black, we need your influence. We r j stand for the poor man as well as the 'Jp , rich, in asking that our creditors will pi take that which we have ?a cotton I warehouse receipt?and withhold col- pi 1 looting his notes and account as long as ho possibly can in order that we ,E may obtain ecst or above for this cot- rjj ton crop. We wish the cooperation of p farmers, merchants, bankers, fertili-|fe I zer companies and all other persons E| doing business in the South. We wish H overv farmer to sign our pledge. We g request you to hold, if possible, one- R third of your crop for one year un- Eg 1 less you can sooner sell it for twelve 18 1 cents per pound. We believe five mil- W uwii utucn ui uuc-iiui u ui mis Cl up cannot be used by the mills of the p I world before Sept. 1st, 1915. We be-; lieve two-thirds of the crop or ten : million bales, can be sold at about I U] | ten cents or above, if you will slowly j.y : sell as the mills need it. We can sell g, : the ten million bales if properly mar, i keted, for more money than we can \ al the whole crop and have five million pj bales on storage next September.. fr ' Will you do your part, or do you ex- a] pect your neighbor to hold your third as well as his? If you and your neighbor were serving with Lee in : p, ; Virginia, would you expect him to ; face the enemy like the brave man he a( is, while you ran away to make a few C1 dollars out of his manhood? ti "Suppose you and your neighbor p, both hold one third of your crop which hi both of you agree is necessary, will at 1 you not pledge to cut your cotton acreage 50 per cent in order to give > value to the surplus you hold, as well a as a fair value to the 1915 crop? If tl , your neighbor did not plant but four cl to six acres to the horse, don't you \v think it would be fair to let him risk his full acreage and let vou that o ~ - V - M, planted 20 acres to the mule cut 00 a : per cent? When the canvass is com- g '! pleted see that some one in your coun- e] . ty is holding- one-third as much cotton tl for one year as was made in 1913 ac- g cording to government bulletin 125. (| ' If the farmers have not pledged that G( ' much ask the business men to put up the necessary balance. Refer to a similar bulletin and see that total {] / acreage to be planted in your county 1 in 1915 is only 50 per cent of 1914. 1 "Every cotton farmer, small or large, is playing a game of chance, p The stake amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars. If we put cotton I up four cents per pound, we will save , y the South three hundred million dol- r lars.. Are you willing to do your a part? Come to your county meeting ? y October 1st and be prepared to in- h II struct our legislature your wish as to a State warehouse bill; also whether r vou endorse State control of ootton * w w "" V*rwwvv" 8 acreage.
