THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1927 The Right Spirit. •4> The Willioton Way, in commenting on the statement of the Bureau of Economic^ predicting that cotton prices would go lower which predic tion co*t the farmers of the South hundreds of thousands of dollars— perhaps millions—*ays it knows “of one crop reporter in this section who has sent in his resignation" and that more will follow. We are glad to see a most justifiable resentment being voiced in a material way. In our is sue of last week the suggestion was made that no further information re lative to this crop be given the De partment of Agriculture. Past ex perience has proven that thia infor mation is always used to the detrU ment of the ootton farmer, for even when he is favored by low crop esti mates, rascally methods are resorted to in order to depress the price. We hope The Williston Way is right im stating that other crop re porters will resign. We think the South’s best answer to the recent un- Money plus interest makes money justifiable raid on cotton values would Indians sold New York City for $24 to elected last November—even after thirteen months, bids fair to be fur ther delayed before it can get down business, is one feature of ottr Con gressional system.which roost tfCrtsfn- ly needs oorrectkm. The thing we should do is to amend the Constitution and provide that the Congressmen and Senators who are elected in November shall take office on the first of the following January. That practice is univefsal .in the par liaments of other countries. If it had been in force in this country there would be no question of having to call an extra session of Congress to take care of the Mississippi fteod victims. Congress would have been in session in April when the flood came. This Constitutional Amendment, proposed by Senator Norris, must pass both houses of Congress and then be ratified by three-fourths of the States. There is no open apposi tion to the measure, which in the last three Congresses has passed the Sen- atc—the last time by a vote of 67 to 2. It would have passed the house if it could have been brought to a vote, but it has been kept off the floor. Let’s have the Norris amendment passed early at the next session of Congress and sent for ratification b> the 48 State Legislatures. It will do away with “lame ducks,” short ses sions, filibusters a nd other evils of the legislative jams in the short session which is inflicted upon us every two years. It will remove one of the great barriers to the expression of the popular will at Washington. bought a good thing he knew enough to keep it That share has paid him thus far $94,600. .

Barnwell .boys make good, but it is always a pleasure for thie-newspaper to record such in stances. Last week, the editor received a let ter from Dr. S. Douglas McDuffie, who stated that he* was a resident of Barnwell more than 20 years ago. His mother and father lived and died here, and he writes that he still re- palls this community, though he left here while quite small. After enjoying the advantages of two Eastern institutions of learning, he has risen to a plane of world recognition in the religious field. Recently Dr. McDuffie, whose home is ntow in New York, conducted a suc cessful meeting in Atlanta, and last week was in the midst of a similar meeting in Columbus. There are doubtless residents of Barnrwell who will recall the family and will learn with pleasure of the success of Dr. McDuffie. Tenant Asks House, Cow, Car and Crop McCormick, Sept. 23.—K.

If you can get another promi nent author to say something nice about your next book (which he may not read) la It not perfectly proper for you to say something nice about his next book?

For over SIXTY YEARS this firm has run continuously under the one name— : v We wish to thank the people of Barnwell County for their past patronage, and again solicit their shipments with the fol lowing statement: We offer our patrons long experience, service, and safety, in stead of cut rates to influence shipments. With us the smalhship- per, (white or colored) gets the same treatment as the larger one, and at the same price. We have but one rate for all. # We are prepared to make liberal advances ori all cotton con signed, either to be sold on arrival or to be held for higher prices. Cotton stored with us is independent. We give no bank a ware house receipt, as we never pledge our customers^ cotton to finance our business. . We are commission merchants only, and do not buy cotton, therefore have no cotton of our own to offer in competition with that of our patrons when making sales. We extend to all patrons a cordial invitation to visit our warehouse at any time. ~ t Very respectfully v ompany t Ferdinand Phinizy • Chas. H. Phinizy, Sr. A SAFE SINCE 1866 - f ■...
