0 MOVEMFNT3 OF “HE PEOPLE OF
LOWER CHEROKEE.
Personal Paragraph* Concerning Pop
ular People nnrf Short Item* of
that Section.
.WilKiiittville, Nov. 8—If our mer
chants would do what they ought to
they would pay the women who pat
ronize their stores good prices for ad
vertising their goods. They (the
merchants) are in blissful ignorance
of how their goods and prices are
extolled by their lady patrons the
next day and perhaps for a week af
ter they nake their purchases. Every
one who comes in must see and pass
upon their excellent qualities and
prices of the goods and tell how the
dresses should be iu<lde. It’s rig)"
amusing te listen to the “buncombe”
and deceit so apparent to a close ob
server. “Oh. that will make such a
pretty dress,” says one. “I’d cut It
with gores and put three flounces ou
the skirt, cut bias.” says another.
“Wlhere did you get it?” que-ies
another. "I got it from that red-head
ed girl in at Blank’s,” says the shop
per. “What did it cost a yard?” asks
another. “It was ten cents a yard;
but i got\three ya-ds for a quarter by
taking t! t whole piece, hut had to
pay six c ‘nts for a spool of thread—
I never r )id that for thread before.
I have always got six spools for a
quarter,”, k-plieg the shopper. Up
bobs ano Jler who has been looking
on and listening as the exhibition of
the goods goes on and says; “I
don’t like them stripes—they are too
broad. Besides, it’s just like the
dress got at last year, ar ’
she wore that dress everywhere she
went unt’l I was tired of seeing It.”
At this the shopper gets disgusted at
her purchase, and turns loose a ti
rade of abuse on the red headed girl,
the merchant and the whole town for
putting off such goods on her. And
about that time in steps another and
adds to the confusion by finding ob
jections to the whole outfit.
That “AH men are liars" is not
hard for some women to believe,
whose husbands attend the club
meetinga regularly.
Unless this cigarette business is
stopped about where cotton is being
picked, handled and hauled to the
ffln, we may look for one of the big
gest cotton fires that this section has
ever had. A si«rk In the seed cot
ton Is sufficient to do the work, even
after the bale is packed and. on Its
way to market, or even later. There
is too ranch at stake to Justify the
careless handling of matches and cig
arettes or pipes, for cotton even at
„ present prices ds worth too much to
be destroyed for the sake of “a
smoke.”
Farmers should begin sowing wheat
before long and we hope to see a
good crop of it put In, and In godl
order at that.
Our King’s Creeh correspondent
has rightly concluded that we have
good neighbors or are a poor farmer.
It’s both, brother; but our neighbors
don’t like to Indulge In a luxury
without having their friends to enjoy
It too. if he doesn’t understand let
him come down and live among them
awhile.
We are glad to hear from the young
people through the columns of our
paper, and don’t see why more of
the boys and girls don’t write for
the press.
What Is It that the muru a (terson

Wlhat the people of Salem will do
for a preacher next year we don’t
know yet. But we suppose we win
get one by the time we want him.
Messrs. Whisonant and Kendrick
have quit buying cotton, for the pi«»a-
ent. Very little of It la now being
offered for sale. Only those who
are compelled to do so will sell. Just
a small per cent, of the crop Is now in
the field.
The fox hunters were out last Tues
day night, but we haven’t heard from
their luck y«t In getting up a race.
There will be several fine porkers
killed this season. Hog raising is
getting to be more popular than here
tofore and people are turning their
attention to better stock.
Several of the lower Uherokeeans
will attend the annual conference at
Gaffney the last of this month.
The man who knows what heat and
cold the women and children of this
county suffer In raising and gather
ing their cotton crop, and can see
their labor and suffering go for as
food as naught without saying, “Rise
■p, ly>rd, and let their enemies be
seattered,” is no better than a brute
even If half so good.
Mr. W- R- Walker made a visit to
his Sunnyside farm this weeb.
From all accounts the State fair
must have been a big thing this year.
Wle hope It will not be long until
Cherokee county will have a fair of
iti own, where our farmers and nth-
era will have an opportunity of show
ing the progress they are making in
their craft. Several of 'the counties
have comity fairs, and they meet
with mere or success.

Notwithstanding the farmers have
done so much to keep cotton off the

The following resolutions wort
unanimously adopted by Cherokee

Whereas we, the members of Cher

price for cotton, therefore, be It
Resolved, first, that we pledge our
selves to hold all cotton in our pos
session, or that may come into our
possession, for that price.
Resolved, second, that we store our
cotton In warehouses as far as prac
ticable, in order to co-operate with
the business agent In hla efforts to
sell at a better price, and that we
urge our neighbors and friends to do
likewise.
Resolved, third, that we have no
desire to work a hardship upon the
persons or firms that we owe, but
that It la our purpose to beep the
cotton off the market except at the
minimum price, and If It be sold for
less than the minimum It must be
sold by the aherlff after due process
of law.
Resolved, fourth, that we win, u It
he necessary, offer to our creditors
our warehouse receipts for them to
negotiate at 8 per cent. Interest for
the amount of our Indebtedness to
them.

He seems to have a queer opinion of

“School Boy,” you need not measure
our corn In your bushel. We are
afraid that you wll not give good
measure. You seem to be unhappy
and. having nothing else to do, will

thing of which you know nothing.
If you have no song to sing, sing the
following:
“Queen of the South; beautiful
South! She hag looked In vain many
,a year for the justice that now la
nigh at hand. She has resolved that
her farmers, or tillers of her soil, shall

The Southern farmers are aliva to
the situation. Their hearts heat high
