LET US WAIT NO LONGER The old mother bird was not worried when she came home at night-fall and the baby birds all were clamoring about the news. The farmer, who feared the rains had a harvest greater than he alone could handle, hud sent and asked his neighbors to come and help1 him cut the field ol grain in which the neat was. The old mother bird was wise. But when she caine home a few nights later and the little birds told that the farmer had told his sons to be ready bright and early trie next morning to cut the grain themselves-the wise old bird be gan to move her home. And the grain way cut. ' We hwffi been hearing a lot about sending out to get help in this emergency over the cotton situation. First, we sent out and asked the United States treasury.. At that, time the treasury terned to feel rather wealthy, and it did seem \hat the cotton would move at once. But since that time there has come a grave problem that the treasury has to meet-the income of the government is falling off so rapidly on account of the lack of custom receipts that something must be done on that end before much money can be put out through the country. Then there was the cotton congress, and the movement for every person to buy a bale. All good ideas, and helpful, but, like the farmers' neighbors, they^ seem to be slow in getting into motion. Now,- the time has come for the farmer to gather his sons around him and go out and cut the grain. In this instance the allegorical farmers is not'the actual farmer, but the business man of the south. And when he puts his hand to settle this question, the cotton crop will begin to move from the fields where it has been feeling secure from gin-saws and spinning frames This is a serious condition before the southe We would not for a moment seek to minimize the importance of the, crisis or the dan ger of serious complications If the south but giVes.w>y. to the psycho logical element of fear. This ih the time to keep a strong heart, to be Cheerful, to be hopeful, to stand together, and toftghii / Men of Anderon county, this question is somewhat like per sonal salvation-?it must be settled in part by each community and by each individual. There is hardly any rule of commerce or of business or of honesty that will fit all conditions, all contracts. The solution of this question may be worked out in a large way by outside Si??p, but the real application of ?ny helpful measure must be loca' in its last analysis. Therefore, why should we wait? We appeal to the banking institutions af Anderson to take the initiative. No* being a financier in thfe'mfttt?r of working out inter? cst and like propositions, we cannot, of course, seek to advise men who for years have been handling big problems, but ir does seem to us that the banking institutions of th$ county can get together and begin to move the cotton crop without the outlay of much money and without the delay of waiting upon money from" Washington or some mythical center. The South waits upon South Carolina In every great forward undertaking and the Piedmont is the motive power of South Carolina Then why should not Anderson county take the lead in handling ft question upon which depends the happiness of the present, the de velopment of the future and the glory of the south In the years to come ? 1 We believe that the bankers of this city have close at heart the welfare of the people of the county. It is not the well-to uo farmer who is in need at this time. He can hold his cotton indefinitely. But it is the renter, the tenant, tbe share cropper who needs help. As a matter of fact the present problem is more than a matter of business it is a matter of civilization and of humanity. The well-to-do farmer, the landlord, should relieve the banks of as much responsibility and as much bi?rrt>n as possible. We, venture to say that there is today among the farmed of Anderson county enough wealth for them to carry the financial burdens of the county for an entire year and never feel it. We appeal to the patriotism of the strong farmers of Anderson county to stand by ?heir tenants. 4 It is not for the men and women on the farms that we would plead, but for the children. Think what it means to them if their parents are given a financial set back this year! We have heard much this summer about compulsory attendance upon schools. But how in the name of civilization are poor people to send their little on?s to school where neat shoes and clothes must be worn, where books are to be used, when the pantry at home is lacking the things to give them their full vigor of life? This cotton question, is a respon sibility upon every man, not so much to heb/ his neighbor on the pathway to success, but tovkeep his neighbor's children from becom ing or remaining illiterates. So much for the humanitarian ?ide of the cai . We know the -.-?--- J? M -?-_I _ _ C ._)_L_....lt X- 1--1 !_- .u.j. IL... SUICnuiU, CUIIMI.W1 (?cupic ui nuuciauu iuu men iu I'tucvc m.ii incj will for a moment let their neighbors suffer, or their neighbors children. But, that is not disposing of the practical side. ls it not possible for the banking houses of Anderson to do something to relieve the situation ? Can they not figure out a plan ipr taking cotton as currency? Can they not take co ?ton in settle silent of financial obligations paying the farmer at a certain rate per pound and storing the cotton to thc farmer's credit? And when th; price, goes up, if lt should go, the farmer could be given the benefit of the difference in what he gets now and the selling price at its best within the next few months. We offer these few suggestions. There are about 60,000 bales In the fields in this county. The banks can get their loans extended and they are willing to help the tenants, t.ie people who have the "distress" cotton, and we believe that the only way to do so is to do i* at once. If each bank should undertake to handle from loo to 1,000 bales, according to the strength ot the bank, some kind of local clearing house currency might be Issued which would relieve the bur den of "distress" cotton. When we have conventions and pass resolutions, the wise old bird of hard times will tell her young to have no fear. But if we begin with otirjp-vn hands to iaV? erre >f a s'tu"?ti^t. that at first might appear impossible, the harpies of distress will spread their pinions and carry to other and more favorable climes the brood, of hungry fledglings, for the crop will begin to move, and when it does.money will begin to circulate and there will be a restoration of confidence, of prosperity and of contentment. ?BUY A BALE" Tho "Buy a Rale" movement in gaining great headway in the South. In many c.tie? the business men have taken hold of it earnestly and the people arc putting up the money. Each person who is able pays at the rate cf 10 cents per pound. The cotton ls not bought for manu acture, but the purchaser ls impelled through a sense of patriotism and sen timent, and with a vague hope and ex pectation that some day the price may he advanced and his generosity will be a dividend bearing iuvestmeut. We confess the plan seems to us to be a little blt vague, but if the people will take hold of it a great deal of goo<? can be done Provided, that no cotton ls bought except from farmers who are actually In need of cash mo ney, and that none of this cotton will be thrown on the market for at ieani four months. The movement har been started In numerous southern cities, and Mark N. Patterson, a man of unbounded public spirit, has put the idea into ef fect in Anderson. Yesterday with thc local market below 8 cents, he paid 10 cents for a bale of cotton, and he calls upon every citizen of Ander son who can afford lt to buy a bale and take it off tho market. If 1,000 bales should be bought In thia manner from tun au tn a.ud poor people, lt would do a great amount of good' in Anderson county. That this movement is growing in popularity and in strength in other cities ts evidenced by the following: Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 5.-Buttons bear ing the insignia "I've bought a bale of I cotton-Have you?" will be worn by hundreds and perhaps thousands of | Atlantlans within the next week a? a j result of one of the moat bualneas-like campaigns for quick and certain re lief ever Inaugurated. It ia the Atlan ta -Tourual'a "Buy a Bale" campaign, and lt ia spreading like wild fire. The "Buy a Bale" movement has been tbe subject of a great deal of talk recently, but lt brought alight action. Yesterday the Journal called a meet ing of the business men, laid the plan before them and in ten minutes took j cash subscriptions to purchase 301 balea of cotton at ten conta, or 850 a bale. Every man there pledged him self to go out and sell more,-and At lanta has set its mark at one hundred j thousand bales. I Actual cotton . wilt ne purchases and: brought to Atlanta and stored. The committee, will see that the cotton la purchased direct from those planters who actually need aid in handling! their crop. The big fellows with mo pey or financial backing cap get along foi; ttiemsoiv??. , The movement lt ia expected, will ruo ihe length and breadth of the cot ton state? of the South within a week, as telegrams ?nd letters have been sent every paper tn the South, urging that they start a similar campaign and thus ?asure the purchases of eight mil lion bales. The buyers will hardly have a chance to loae ind their pur chases will proba?,,/ prove a fair in vestment. The buyera will pledg .hemselveB to bold the cotton for a year or such time necessary to assure a profitable marketing of the crop. "My firm will take ten balea, each of he partners five bales and ever/ em ploye making 1100 a month, a bab .ach," was the pledge of one busines man. I believe every man in Atlanta who can get together $50 should buy a bale, and most of them will." Alii. ..ir. ?Jj "un, if t,l VT. W.
