At that rate, will somebody please figure the value of an ordinary cowhide? It is claimed that there is a filling station for every 72 automobiles in the United States. Somehow we had gathered the impression that there were 72 filling stations to every auto mobile. * One of the candidates for a State office, in his speech at Barnwell Fri day, referred to “the people of Barn well, the people of Greenville, the peo ple of Spartanburg and Charleston ians." Why make the distinction so pointed ? It has been suggested that other farmers, following the example of the two Illinois farm boys who shattered the world’s flight endurance record, also take up flying. Well, it looks to us lihe moat of the farmers now are “up in the air" but they don t know where they are going to land.

This is economy season for those who take advantage of this opportunity which knocks but once a year. Midsummer bargains are not offer ed to the women folks alone. Over stocks of men’s suits, hats, shorts, un derwear and other wearing apparel are unloaded at this time of year to eager customers. There are thrifty men who find it highly profitable at this time of the year to stock up with clothing essential for the entire year. Newspfper advertising herald the opening of the midsummer restocking sales and guide the buyer to f the places where shopping is now not only profitable but an excitifig adventure. The People-Sentinel offers an excel lent opportunity of sharing in some of this business. •f Agriculture potaUd caa bu Wm than half the coat of powtr.

As much a 8 it may be desired that Bamberg County should develop other crops than cotton, such a program is a long way off. It will come—of that we are sure—and the grogress is now being slowly evolved. The sixteen years that this writer has been in Bamberg have witnessed many chang es in farming for the better. But for the present, cotton is the money crop, poverty stalks abroad in the land. Hence, right now our at tention should he turned to making cotton. There is not the slightest dan ger of produefog too much cotton in Bamberg County. The boll weevil and labor shortage will take care of that What we want to do is to make all the cotton we can on as little land as pos sible, so as to produce it us cheap as we can—“we” meaning Bamberg County, of course. ft has seemed to us in years past that pur county and our State get along best when we make a good crop In South Carolina—lower years? . . .

Whether s town is alive or dead may generally be so determined. By this token The Salud* Standard must be published in s progressive and live town. Last week it had four full pages of advertising by two firm* in that town. Just think of the energy and enthus iasm the advertisement* give td the two advertisers themselves. There was the preparstion for the advertise ments, the putting the stores in or der, the listing of bargains to he of fered, and the getting of goods that would be real bargains. The spirit •roused and the morale created proba bly were worth the price of the adver tising. But it may be safely said that the advertisement will very much more than pay for itself in the trade brought in. There is no getting away from it the •bowing that a newspaper makes is a true index to the town.-rrThe Colum bia Rspord. Measured by The Columbia Record’s yardstick, Barnwell and some other towns in this section are as dead as the proverbial door nail. No news paper that is denied the life-blood of Few more matter* are of porta ace to South Carolia. In it lies largely the hope of the South Caro I haa farm bey.

No one will undertake to say that in hay South Carolina can compete with the blue grass region. South Carolina cannot compete with any of these sections in mass produc tion of their specialties. But by care ful selection and skillful manipula tion she may produce all of these things for her own use. In production of high grade cotton she may find a field of her own, and be out of competition with the mass production of Texas and Oklahoma. If she does not do this then cotton pro duction here will go as rice produc tion has gone, suppressed by the ease of production further west.
