Thu street is a part of Highway No. 27, of the State and under law must be l&'pt up by the State. Un der the pay-as-you go act of the gen oral assembly, 27 was scheduled for paving somewhere between nine and eighteen years hence. So the pl*n of ^«e town official* is for the town to proceed and have Main street paved now and be reimbursed for the cost of paying by the highway depart ment under a reimbursement contract. • i The supreme court of the State ha* held that such reimbursement con tracts of the highway department arc legal and binding obligations and that any county or road district may pave Its highways now and be reipi- bursed by the highway depmtment under such contracts. \ If the election carries, bond* will he Issued to pay the cost* of the pav ing.

Therefore, I beg of you to publish the following, that it way be • warning to those at least who may contemplate growing cotton the com- -tng saason; viz., that our pooling cot- tan, buying and warehousing it is O.

This stored cotton may have nta par pound would not ba suffici ent, than make lha tix heavier. “No, this can’t h* done,*' some may say, but I believe that, it can, for I cannot for get who oor a dobs ten ware and what they did whan necessary for the pre servation of themselves and the in stitutions that they have handed dawn to tt* „ ♦ V Taxing the 1927 erdp ten cents a pound for all cotton grown I believe would cause more moeny to flow throught the channels of commerce of the South than in the history of our country, for it would be an incentive, for everybody to buy cotton, as well as a consolation to those who have it. Wont some one say, “Let’s try”? Can’t 1 you see the point, dear reader? You have nothing to lose but a little effort and by so doing you may save many of us from paupers’ graves, wh*n King Cotton stands -triumphant today over the dust of the / tens of thousands that he ha# sent on before.

SOUTH CAROLINA. « Can You Afford to Sell Your Cotton Un- • " > .. *; . der the Cost of Production? If not, why do you not hold your cotton for a short while until the distress cotton is’absorbed? Each year at this thousand? of bales of cotton are dumped on the market regardless of price., Do you realize that after deducting the cost of just picking ard ginning a bale of cotton, the farmer is getting about 10c per pound for it. Do you think this condition can last? During the gast few years, it has not b?en profitable to hold cotton—but dor/t forget—people held cotton wh#n prices were around twenty two cents. There is quite a difference now, with cotton selling in some ir.terior towns Below fourteen cents. If you wish to hold any cotton, I will advance you ten to twelve cents per pound upon it. Fifty cents per hale per morth covers both storage and insurance. You will see by these rates that if you held your cotton for two months, it would only amount to $1.00 per bale. Should you ship any cotton to me, you may rest assured when you ordered it sold, you will get the correct weights, grades and prices. v Kgf'V-. , 4-* •. ljt>f lard with the improvements there-j ■■ — 1 —— ^ »ituate, lying: and being in the CHAS.
