A pedestrian, m’desr, is a logical prospect /or government insurance. Federal prohibition forces promise a big shake-up. Does this mean we are to have mixed drinks? Adapting an old saw to modern we might say that "Fools rush in where wise men wait for a green light” - * President Coolidge while in Yellow stone Park saw the bears. He ia now enroute East where he can s^en plenty of bulls. Gov. Peay of Tennessee is told that the loet geologist in Nick-A-Jack cave was a publicity rftvnt for a new high way..

Slant Flying Ton Costly. ’the greatest sportng event had ever known.” the Dole avia tion derby, over 2.400 mHee of the trifle, han been a eoetly affair which public opinion will again be slow to leourswe. Announcement ft-om federal quarters that the government will frown upon any immediate fut ure plans for similar dangerous stunt fastnres meets the approval of all thoughtful rit isane. up the toll in the Dole much more costly than layman realises.

Lulled by the comparatively small amount of damage duxsng tha hot, dry summers of 1925 and 192$; whea good crops were produced, many fondly believed that the weevil menace had passed. Their experience this year proven con clusively that such is not the case. r * ^ Barnwell County leads the State in diveniflcaiion, but one more crop is needed to make an ideal system. It Is tobacco. Beginning in the early Spring, many farmers market kbpuragito to b« followed by cucumbers, watermelons add cotton. Tobacco Would be marketed after watermelons and jwt ahead of cotton. Probtably^the one thing that kelpa the "weed” from being planted quite generally is the fact' that it is not * lazy man’s crop. It also requires motb intelligence than the average negro, born and reared in a cotter? field, can command. However, it is said to be a very profitable crop eevemi years out of ten and tfiose who give it intelligent work are rewarded with liberal profits. Tobacco was tried on a small scale in this county a few years ago, hut because the farmers didn't get rich quidk the first year they gave up in dikgust and returned to cotton. No crop that has enriched so many people should be condemned because of one failure, caused mainly by in<- experjence. Think of the many times that the planting of cotton has proved disasterous! • ^ Over in Orangeburg, the members of the Young Men’s Business League of that city are encouraging the farmers .to plant tobacco next year, offering to build a warehouse and provide a market if the farmers agree to plant 2,000 acreq. Something along the same line should be done ini Barnwell. A warehouse adjacent to the tracks of the Atlantic Coast Ltrre Railroad is already available. With sufficient acreage, no difficulty will be experienced in getting buyers to come here. * . Already a number of local farmers have signified their intention of pioneering the movement nfext year, ft* is reported that R. R. Moore, a progressive farmer of the Smelling secUort, will plank 30 acres; Barney F. Owens* of Dumbarton, stated Thursday that he will plant 15 acres if there it a probability of a convenient market; Terry Richardson, of Barnwell, will probably plant 15 or 20 acres; Herbert W. Sanders, also of/this ctiy, will plant a small acreage, and there are others who can be induced to give the crop a trial. One barn; wo are told, will take care of five actaa The cost of the building is not prohibitive and where it is advisable to make the experi ment on a small scale, two or more fanner s could cooperate, each planting a small “patch” until they had learned how to grow tobacco profitably. The lands of Barnwell County am said to be admirably adapted to the production of bright leaf tobacco, which commands the best prices on the markets. In a very short time the cotton crop will have been harvested. As sooni a* that is out of the way, we suggest that the banker* and butoiess men invite the fanners to meet with £hetn at the 1 Court House slid see Whether or not a sufficient acreage can be pledged to intaraat buys— waul flammar. ( This section of South Carolina is too fine to allow it to remain in a continual state of deprersion and “hard times.” when just a little coopera tion between the business merv and the fanner* can provide a safe founda tion upon which to build a generous prosperity. We are interested in knowing what our readers think of thia sugges tion and wilt gladly give first-page prominence io any comment* along this ime from our friends.

A martrhis wife and daughter spent a few hours in Barnwell Thursday af ternoon en route from Miami, Fla., to Boetxxrt. They are making the long journey a-foot, except flor occasional rides given them by passing motor ists. The trio left Savannah Wednes- a ©our*e and between m-«nv entra"t.» has come into some question. Ameri ca needs her good flyers to teach and inspire the youth of the land in fly- lag—and not to risk life unnecessari ly in stunts which mean nothing par ticular to advancement of aviation. Tha resulth attained through stfsunt flying are not worth the great risks. In spite of the fact that a very II cotton crop is being made in Barnwell County tha year, the farm ers are cheer Ail. the reason being that the price continue* it* upward climb, which offset# to a great degree he ravages of the boll weevil during he summer. If the prices continue on the upgrade, the grower* will re chive as much or mote for the abort crop a* they dU for the bumper yield last year and »Uo save on picking and ginning. Trading has been more active in the cotton n)*rke‘. than it has been for a like period in several years and the price has been almost steadily upward notwithstanding a vast amount of liquidation *nd profit taking. As a result of the big gains of Friday and Saturday, following rather more two-hided fluctuation* earlier in tha .waak whaa ■aieoag sffinii were made to bring about a reaction, the market advanced 189 point* from the low point of Monday for December contracts to the high point reached for the $£nie option on Saturday. At Officially Speaking. At last, it would seem, a very per plexing question ha* beem removed from the mail bag of etiquette au thorities and no longer will it be nseewary to “guess” in reply to the q<—tion: “When sn engagement is broken is it necessary for the young lady to return the engagement ring.” A legal ruling has been handed down in an Eastern court, the magis trate holding that, since the engage ment is off, the man who bought the solitaire is entitled to keep it The young woman who had her ex-fiance arrested tor larceny when he took back the diamond engagement ring, was naturally very much disapointed. Now the matter is settled officially. Of coarse the youhg women will continue to decide the question in the future, probably, as they think best. To avoid disappointment, however, me suggest the young man wlp boys ring and confers it upon young lady of his choice—should it goodby and in advance— it to profit and less or what rather favorable report* were re ceived have come advice* of deteriora tion due to the dry hot weather a* well a* from the rapid spread of in sects. Another cause for the active de mand for contracts was the advice that spinner* were becoming alarmed at the situation and were buying ■pots more freely, the spot sale* in Southern markets now running ahead from day to day of the spot sales in the same markets last year. « Another stimulating influence has bran the belief that the new govern ment report would show a further re duction in the production forecast, many traders looking for 13,000,000 balsa or less. Monday the market went oa an other rampage, October contract# ad vancing to 23.36 in New York and closing at 23.02. Nearly 23 cents a pound was paid on the local market, the higtieat price in about two years.
