Economic^ predicting that cotton
prices would go lower which predic

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

gressional system.which roost tfCrtsfn-

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.

There' is nothing unusual in the
fftet that, as a rule, . 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.

can sell your warehouse receipt to the high

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. ~
