Lack of foresight in any business will bring it to grief. o Education without practical experierce is of very little use use; while education with the addition of practical experience makes a team that always wins. o Advocates of prohibition are looking for great things to come from the law. They look upon it as a gieat step in the direction of perfect political and economical conditions. o In the work of the war the need of educated mechanics was realized by tno national government. The man with the theory, however, was found to be about as bad as the uneducated mechanic. It took education and practical experience to make a combination to suit Uncle Sam. Trustees of the free common schools should be selected with the greatest care by the county board of education. In every community are tiouble makers without much common sense as well as progressive "men of good judgment and sound discretion. Often it is the very man who in no way is fitted for this position who succeeds in getting his name on the list appointed by the county board; and instead of using good judgment in the management of the school, he continually stirs up strife in the school beat and often biings disaster to the school undei his charge. Often one of this kinr has some way of controlling the twe others. The reason why we say thai this is a very important thing to b< looked after by the county board i: because we know of schools that hav< dwindled down continually in atten dance and finally had to quit. Wi could see no reason for the failur except the unwise plans and manage mcnt nut into effect hv the tmstees.

This is the reason why the owners of land are willing to join the South Carolina Land Owners Association. That association aims to bring about many things in the way of development and improvement, and drainage is not the least among the objects in view. We do not always know what is best for ourselves. Some men have forgotten more than others ever knew; and yet they rw>t nnd fr>r>1 if thev know nothing. The wisest men we know act more | like children than the puffed up fools we come in contact with. Who wants knowledge wants a t good thing. It is never gained by an ^ idle brain. ^ We usually want more than we get; but yet we must be content with what little we have been able to obtain and live on and labor for whal wo may yet be able to grasp. of I WILL BE IN MY OFFICE I iir CONWAY MONDAY, MAY 5TH. 1 ld YOU HAVK EYE TROUBLES, HV >m ME. no ot Lycurgas A.

FARMERS WILL WIN IF FIGHT GOES OF Cotton Growers Urged t< Battle to End in This Effort "The conditions in the world just ry a bullish cotton market, then wh haven't we got it?" That's the que: tion propounded by Commission* Harris. He does not think it so ne essary to discuss the why of it jus 1 hunt for some remedy. Mr. Harr has left for Memphis, Tenn., to a tend the meeting of the committ or organization for the cotton e ports corporation, ami from Memph he will go to Mineral Wells, Texa to attend a meeting of the Nation Highway Association, where he w deliver an address on cooperatic Before leaving he gave out a stat ment urging the farmers to stick flir "It all depends upon financing said Mr. Harris. "We must reali that the marketing of our crop is much a part of our business as t growing of it. There has never c isted in cotton so fundamentally bullish situation as exists today. A mittedly there is locally an overp of cotton in America. Any < traveling through the country can i cotton in nearly every yard and of the warehouses are full. I this condition applies only to 1 Southern cotton belt States. In other parts of the world there i; pronounced shortage in raw cott There is a shortage in finished articles and there is a shortage the homes. We venture to say t not even one famliy in every in America has half of the cot goods to supply the bare necessi If this is the condition in Amer what is the condition in the Ei s pfan countries? Wheq this is the case something is woefully wrong and what is it? Baruch Still a Factor. "It was discovered only a few days ago that the market is still affected with the influence of Barney Baruch. To quote the reliable Trade Journal let me say that 'it was thought that this burden was off the market when he left Washington. It turns out he went to Europe and gained the car of the president to suggest to him that he appoint a commission headed by Mr. Redfield, which should allocate all American raw materials to the nations of the world as this commission might see fit/ "How does this sound to the cotton producers of the South ? Wherever our government has touched cotton a withering blight has followed. Just let us have fre and unrestricted business and it is all we want. We are not looking for a government to become nurse for us as it has become for the wheat growers. % The acreage is now already cut one-third and the market is bound to advance. Who is to remedy the evil spoken of above. It is the farmer. Can he do it? He can. Will he do it? This ) is one time I feel sure that he will. I What is the first thing he is to do? H. is thoroughly to diversify his crop so as to make his home self supporting. Should Live at Home. "Now this is one of the most important things for the farmer to do and every man should look to his tenants and compel them this year above all other years to make their home supplies. For we are now in a fight to free ourselves from financial s'iavcry and it is important that this bo done for \vc can not win a war without food so this is one of the main weapons to win this fight. "Now what is the second thing '.o dc ? It is just what all other organizations and corporations do. If they do not have a well organized and efficient sales department >t would be folly for any large manufacturer to devote all his time to production alone and not arrange to finance the output of his factory. "The next step to take to build warehuoses. I he farmer should not have his cotton ginned and then throw it out in the weather, for it hs not good collateral in that condition. l?ut cotton put into a good warehouse is considered one of the best collaterals that can be had.

Let us sec how easy it will be for the fanners of South Carolina to arrange to finance every distressed balo and hold it off the market until the price reaches a profit above cost of production. I believe that the farmers and other interests in this Stale who have said to me they were willing to help the cotton farmers organize a cotton bank capitalized at $1,000,000 may think such an ui?rn*laking impossible. Right off *he bat many will say it can't be done. Let's see how easy it can be done. Could Establish Bank. "We have raised annually for the last ten years an average of 1,000,000 bales of cotton. Or.e dollar per bale would raise the capital stock of the $1,000,000 bank. Every farmer loses $1 a bale in wear and tear on his cotton. It would not require a strain to raise the capital for a $1,000,000 bank and I believe the time is now ripe for it to bo organized. "On the 1st of September next ^ there will not be enough cotton to run the mills of the world 100 The situation is now in our \Vn Jjt t hands. The South does not wish to hurt any manufacturing plant.
