Aadther Ban per Crop.
Believe it or not, the government's
crop reporters estimate that the cotton
crop this year, based on conditions as
of August lot; will be 16~62I^00 bales
thus it would appear that the farmers
have succeeded, in the face of every
warning against the wisdom of so do
ing* of producing another bumper
crop on top of last year's huge' pro
duction to still further depress the
price of the fleecy staple. And if the
entire crop sells below the coot of
production, the fanners have nobody
to blame but themselves. - ^
Experience is always g dear teacher,
but H seems that the cotton farmers
are a class that absolutely refuses to
profit by experience, no matter how
eoeHy. It has been conclusively
proven, time and again, that more
money is received for a small crop
than for a large one and that the
small crop can be grown at a much
cheaper cost in money and labor.
Present cotton quotations, with lit-
tie likelihood of improvement, indi
cate that any hope of an abundant
prosperity this Fall, based on cotton
profits, have gone where the woodbine
twineth, and “hope deferred maketh
tile heart sick.** Of course, some un-
foraeen calamity to the present crop
would bring about an advance m
prices, but unless that happens it
would seem that the farmers may as
well reconcile themselves to I >w
P r 10.
There lent much use to holler for
government aid when the farmers
res refuse to use their own
effective remedy—red nation in
and the consequent -reduc
tion in the number of bsles pro-iuv-ed.

The world will watch with in
terest this battle between the
Mexican Government and the
Catholic. Church, first of Its kind
in many years. T .
The cessation of all religious
services in Mexico will .un-
Joubtedly cause turmoil and dis
tress among all classes. Mexican
ndians especially will resent
‘eing deprived of services which
icy believe essential to their
iiritual welfare. The Christian
iff ion was forced upon them

That story about the angel*

Th^ joining «f resources and facilities of ^the Fdisto Public Service Compsny, (Denmark, S. C )
the Carolina Light and Power Companv,-f A’.fcen, S. C.) and the Augusta-Aiken Railway and Elec

power, at very favorable rates, will be available to do all sorts of useful work for the farmer, the

The output of these three corporations is drawn from the streams of our own neighbohood—
Augusta alone producing 24,000 horsepower from tbe Savabnah River. Added to this great volume
are all the steam plants thpt the central towns, which in the past, have been the sole source of
electric supply. By this modern arrangement, these steam equipments will be held in reserve, to be
used as auxiliaries, to be operated only at very infrequent intervals, w^ien repairs may be needed to
the water wheels, or other branches of the service.
To anticipate future needs, and provide for the boundless commercial and agricultural activi-
ty already awakened m this section, tne Augusta-Aiken Railway and Electric Corporation has re
cently completed a physical connection at Toccoa, Georgia, with the limitless supply of hydro power
generated in-tbe five States of Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, North and South Carolina, and distri
buted through tbe switch boards of the Georgia Railway and Power Company at Atlanta.
These *re tbe Visible—the tangible evidence of the supreme faith shown by the managements
of these corporations in the business possibilities of the district in which they have spent, and are
spending, hundreds of thousands of dollars to provide the most important agent—the most needed
essential, for the development and prosperity of a favorable section, that needs but the work and
faith of its citizens to achieve the very limits of industrial success, commercial supremacy and
cultivated home life.
