The warning against over-produc
tion of cotton this year is so very
plain that any intelligent man could
run very fast and still be able to read, under the protection of and with the
they saw one.
Will Rogers remarked a few days
ago, in connection with President
Coolidge’s visit to Cuba, that it takes
a keen senseoof humor for the Cen
tral American countries to understand
Uncle Sam shaking hands with one
hand and shooting with the other,
which is on a par with this country
outlawing lotteries because of the
fact that they were gambles and al
lowing the rankest sort of gambling

also shown a marked falling off, al
though sales in Liverpool lately have
increased to some extent. The point
we are trying to make, however, is
that if a combination of mill curtail
ment and TALK of increased acreage
can depress the price of cotton, what
will happen if the farmers actually do
inertnse the acreage and produce a
crop of fifteen million or sixteen mil
lion bales this year? Can any sen
sible* man reasonably ^gpect a remun
erative price?
If the mills are curtailing in order
to accomodate their production to the
demands of the consumers, would it
not likewise be the part of wisdom
for farmers to curtail their produc
tion of cotton to suit tho demands of
the mills?
The People-Sentinel would not pie-
sume to tell the farmers w’hat or
what not to do. We are merely stat
ing present conditions as we see
them. The farrmirs themselves will
decide, in conjunction with the banks
and supply merchants, the jrmount of
cotton to be planted. We also know
that a favorite argument in these
parts is that ‘‘it doesn’t make any
difference, so far as the markrt is
concerned, how T much cotton is plant
ed in South Carolina—that the price
is controlled by what Texas does.”
Quite true/but it makes a whale of a
difference if South Carolina farmers
over-plant along with Tt-xas and find
themselves with a big crop to market
at unprofitable prices. In other
words, under such „ conditions, the
more they plant the more they lose.
And according to reports emanating
from Texas, that State is going to in
crease its acreage this year.
The farmers are regarded by no
small percentage of our people as
chronic kickers who are always ex
pecting help from outside sources
while making little or no effort tq
help themselves. Whether this opin
ion is coirect or“hot, the fact remains
that the farmers can help in boosting
the price of cotton by using cotton
bagging to bale their product instead
of jute and also by insisting upon the
use of cotton bags wherever possible.
If this plan were adopted, several
hundred thousand bales of low grade
cotton would be consumed every year
and instead of seiving to depress the
price in the ‘‘carry-over” would help
to boost it by reducing the surplus.
This idea is ndT new nor original with
us, but a local merchant and cotton
buyer was in Augusta a few days ago
and found that the plan is being urged
in that State.
The South Carolina* Highway De
partment, we believe, has been buying
cement, in cotton bags recently and
O' ’
the manufacturers have expressed
themsilves as being well pleaked with
their strength and shipping qualities.
Now let the farmers fall in line and
replace jute bagging with a wrapping
that they themselves produce.

Scientists from all over the world
gathered in this country recently to
discuss problems of applying scieneo
to human living to promote longer life
increased efficiency and well-bein
and race improvement. These are the
greatest material problems th« world
must face. ^ ~f. —
But science has already lengthened
human life,-statistics gatheretj/by life
insurance, companies show. The* aver
age man is able to live in >yhat would
have been called luxury a few hundred
years ago through the w/rk of scien
tists. Many people be^ievci the race
has improved and that the average
man is more efficient pow than he ever
was. So science may eventually be
able to solve th<«se problems.
Nevertheless, science can do little to
solve the problems that trouble man
the most. His. spiritual problems far
outweigh the material for the think
ing man except perhaps when his very
existence is threatened. Science can
help'make men physically comfortable
but it eaij^t help him with his biggest
problem*.

Dire^orsraS lawyers. It was pointed
out at the time the count., was made
that a considerable number of Repre
sentatives do not furnish any detailed
autobiography and there are probably
several more lawyers on the roll.
Out of the:v435 members, barely 100
are not members of the bar. All the
other trades, vbusinesses and profes
sions—manufacturing, selling, teach
ing, farming, banking, preaching,
medicine—are represented by fewer
than one-quarter of the membership
of the House of Representatives.
