Such a staten* nt does seem fcn amazing exaggeration, but it comes to us by authority of the United States department of Agriculture, which had its agents investigate the production cost of 992 growers in various sections of the cotton belt, and including small and large produc ers. The cost per pound of lint ran from 8 conts to 59 cents. Forty-five farmers reported yields of 60 pounds and under per acre, at an average cost of 59 cents per pound. Twenty-three other growers had yields of more than 500 pounds per acre at an average cost of 8 cents per pound. Seventy-two farmers who grew from 61 to 100 pounds of lint per acre had an average cost of 26 -cents per pound and 90, who got 101 to 140 pounds per acre had an average •cost of 20 cents per pound. More tyian half of the 992 farmers from whom these reports were taken - bad yields between 141 and 300 pounds per acre with an average production cost of 13 cents ror pound of lint cotton, but they were in the group of farmers having the larger cotton acre ages and using good implements and Jfteral fertilization. * • < All those are most interesting facts—and they are facts and not fairy inks. But the question they raise is more interesting and serious. What can be done for tto relief of supposedly intelligent and laborious farmers who will persist in growing cotton at average costs ranging from 29 cent? to 59 cents per pound? In only half of tb« years since 1916 have the fanners received above 20 cents per pound for their cotton end in only eight seasons since^ 1870 has the price of middling cotton been e that 8gure at New York. And only 13 of theJCT year* since >1900 » the market price averaged above the 13 cents coet of production that‘the ipjority of the 992 farmers reported for educational efforts in practical and profitable' cotton raising among our Southern people. It calls loudly for the best efforts of our State agricul tural departments and colleges.—The Atlanta Constitution. — 4 The Citizen’s Duty. One encouraging thing about this jpolitical campaign is the indication that a record vote will be polled. Eveiywhere there is deep interest in the political situation. The Straw Votes are piling up into enormous totals. The issues are so important, the careers of the two principal can- didatos so fascinating and colorful, that everything points to a record number of voters on Election Day. Let us hope that each man and woman will do his or her duty. Let as try to make a real showing this year. So often voters .stay away from the polls because of laziness or indiffer- encel Thgge absentee voters are bad citizens. Tluty are shirking an im portant duty. They cannot delegate their voting power to someone else; they must ap pear personally to vote or their politi cal sympathies can find no expression. If enough that might votei stay at home, the result of the election may be entirely different than it would be if they voted. Every single “X” mark counts. Don’t fool your self that your individual vote means nothing. It means a great deal. It may be your one vote that will con tribute much to a turn of the tidei in the election., _ If you like a candidate, do not hamper his chances by remaining away from the polls on Election Day. | To the polls—everyone! * Use your franchise! Do your duty as a citizen. I Gov. Alfred E. Smith REPUBLICANS ARE ‘ SMITH (Many Prominent Men Through out Nation Break Life-Long Party Ties. Hundreds of life-long Republicans, many of them of national prominence, are ewelllng each day the vast army of voters who believe that it Is the duty of every thinking American to support Governor Smith. Among the most recent of leading Republicans who have pnbllcly re pudiated the Republican candidate is Rudolph Spreckels, widely known banker and business man of San Francleco, owner of huge sugar plan tations In Hawaii, and formerly a close friend and advlaer of President Roosevelt Another Influential Republican to declare for Smith Is Spencer Penroee of Colorado, mThing engineer and brother of the late Senator Boise Pen rose, Republican leader In Pennsyl vania. Prominent Financial Flguree One Republican of considerable con sequence who hae just declared for Governor Smith Is W. B. Hlbbs of Virginia, president of W. B. Hlbbs end Co., bankers, of Waehlngton, D. C. Two prominent New Jersey Repub licans, John J. Stamler, president of tho Broad and Mnrkot National Bank and Trust Co., of Newark, and Uzal H. McCarter, president of the Fidelity Union Trust Co., of Newark, an nounced last week that they will sup port Governor Smith. Another Republican banker to join the campaign to elect the Democratic candidate Is De Lnncey Kounts, Chair man of the Board of Devoe and Raynolds Co., of New York. Western Farm Leaders Frank W. Morphy, chairman of the Legislative Committee of the Corn Belt Federation of Farm Organiza tions, and a member of the Minnesota delegation to the Republican Conven tion, has renounced allegiance to his party and repudiated Hoover as “an enemy of the farmer.” Other farm leaden to bolt the Re publican party were Governor Adam McMullen, Republican Executive of Nebraska, end L. F. Shuttleworth, of Indianapolis, former head of 4he pur chasing committee of the Indiana Fed eration of Farm Bureaus. » ♦ ♦ DANIELS REBUKES STRAT0N RALEIGH. N. C.—Rebuking Dr John , Roach Straton for expressing the belief that “my old friend,” Josephus Daniels, would bolt the Democratic party, the former Sec retary of the Navy has again empha- tlcafiy declared, in 4 ktter to the Hi% York pastor, that he will support Gov ernor Smith. Mr. Daniels wrote: “I believe I can serve the cause of prohibition and temperance better by remaining in my party than b> sup porting Mr. Hoover, who sat in the Cabinet with Harding with all the cor ruption and with Ooolidge with all the favoritism—the two administrations, which, by flagrant failure to enforce the law or to give it legal and moral support, have done more to harm pro hibitkm than ltd open foes.” ♦ ■» TRY A BUSINESS BUILDER FOR SATISFACTORY RESULTS. Card of Thanks. I wish to thank the patrons of my route for the interest they have taken | in clearing the roads for me since the' storm, by reason of which I have been able to serve my entire route each* day. The people show that they ap- 1 preciate the service and they have done so much for me that it is a, pleasure for me to aerve them. It’s! to work through Sleigh- town. It’s my home community and tie biggest and best “town” in the county that I know anything about. When people work together they can help one another.* We can serve God by helping others. We should always feel that somebody else needs a blessing. It* seems to me that I can get moie p!:<asure out of my work now thart ever before. I have been serving the people for more than twenty years and never had any com plaints about my qervke,either t^> me or to the postoffice department. I hope to serve you all many years longer. May God bless you all, is my prayer. Sincerely, HENRY C. HUTTO, R. F. D. Carrier No. 2. BUckville, S. C. : * Week Arthur Brisbane IF WAR VANISHSD. ' : PAIN AND SUFFERING. .

LE$S COTTON MORE MONEY HASTINGS DECLARES PRESENT FARM PRACTICE WILL BANK RUPT FARMERS Earth s population has been reg ulated by WAR. DISEASE. FAMINE Machinery and better gbvern- ment have practically eliminated famine. Science has almost eliminated the plagues that killed wholesale. No more “Black Death.” With war gone, what would prevent growth of population greater than the earth could sustain ?- Divine Wisdom, ruling the earth, is probably able to solve that prob lem as it has taken care of others, including the most difficult, how to keep populations GROWING in spite of war, plague and famine. The Rev. Dr. Auer, who teaches— philosophy at Tufts College, says men should not seek to AVOID pain and suffering but to UNDER-j STAND both. ^ ^ , * That is better ‘ than the old theory that God actually^ wanted men to suffer. When ' anaesthetics ~ were T first used, the clergy of Britain de nounced them as interfering with God's wishes. • God* wishes us to'suffer when we have our legs cut off. and men must not interfere with His plans by using chloroform, thu^cheatikg the.Lord, said the preachers.: . An'’tngenibn*' doctor ^answered, 1 tojg.the Confusion of clergymen, 1 quoting the Book of Genesis, as serting that the Lord was the One to use anaesthetics when* He “caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam” before removing one of Adam s ribs to make Eve Men should understand pain and suffering of course, as the rever end philosopher Auer says. But they should also concentrate on el iminating both by scientific means, and especially by abolishing pov erty The best ^ thing ^ in * Herbert Hoover's speech of acceptance, the best thing said by any Presidential candidate since Lincoln, was his statement expressing the hope that by giving every man a job, wei« paid, poverty may be made to dis appear. , In Minnesota prohibition officials threaten to padlock wet homes Quite a surprise for the Minne sota ploughman homeward plod ding his weary way, or children from the public schools to find the front and back door padlocked, and be compelled to sleep in the ’ garage. One way x to Kill a thing is to make it ridiculous. Atlanta, Ga.—(Special.)—“We have again seen the result of too much cot ton acreage. Strange as it may seem the more cotton we make the less money we; get for what we make,” de clared H. Q. Hastings, leading agricul tural authority and chairman of the Firm and Market Bureau of the At lanta Chamber of Commerce. “The only thing that saved the cot ton growing fanner from outright dis aster last year was the extreme heat and drought that held down the yield per acre on the more than forty mil lion acres In cotton. There was suf ficient cotton acreage planted to have made with favorable season some where near twenty million bales and a price of 10 cents per pound or less. “One of the Cotton Growers' Asso ciations recently announced that the 1925 cotton crop, will sell for four hundred million dollars less than it cost to make It, making reasonable al lowance for labor cost What sort of folks are we anyhow to keep on grow ing at a loas? There is no profit toj the farmer in 'planting all or nearly! all cotton and buying all or nearly all the food and grain consumed by family and live stock. M Our farm operations and our farm pocketbooks are never going to get right until we quit spreading cottor over the whole South only to draw Our meat and meal and other food stuffs as well as grain, etc., from Chicago. Kansas City and Omaha at prices two to three times what cost would be if made on home acres. “We have been trying to carry on a farm system based on a one cash crop which has impoverished every people everywhere in the world that have tried It. It la steadily impoverishing our farmers here in the South. There is only one safe farm system. TTist is to produce on home acres so fir ss possible every pound of food, grain and forage needed for family and live stock. “A good all-year-round home veg etable garden, plenty of corn and oats, forage and bay crops, to see you through without buying more. cows, bogs and chickens. All these cui cotton costa, afford the best of health ful living and leave the farmer owninf his cotton instead of owing it at the end of the year” larxls of D.
