We have heard quite a lot of dis cussion lately among the farmers as to the price of cotton. Some of them seemed to think that the buyers were not paying as much as they should for the staple. Now, the Gaffney cot ton buyers have been paying just a little mere than they have been pay ing in the neighboring towns. This statement may be verified by con sulting the local papers and compar ing the market price of other towns and that of Gaffney. The price of cotton is controlled by the cotton exchanges, and It follows that the Gaffney buyers, as well as those at other points in the cotton belt, must be goverened by the prices fixed by the exchanges. We know that the cotton buyers of Gaffney would be only too glad to pay fifteen cents per pound for cotton if they could do so, but it is the rankest kind of Tommyrot to expect them to pay more than they can get in New York for the cotton. The farmers of Cherokee county may rest assured that every buyer on the Gaffney market is his friend and that they will pay ag miuch, If not a little more, than they can get at other places for their cotton.

If the dispensaries had been open In Spar tanburg there would have been in the crowd of 10,000 people on Wednesday at least one hundred people under the Influence of whiskey, as it was we did not see 'a single drunk man, al though we met several who said they needed a drink.

There are large a — ' "■ J * * numbers of people wbo Indulge in strong drink because it is convenient, therefore the convenience of whiskey hag a great deal to do with its con sumption. We hope the time fs not far distant when there will not be a dispensary in the State, nor any other flace where whiskey can be bought It is said that prohibition d^et not prohibit. Well, perhaps It does not, strictly speabing, but one thing Is cer tain. that is, a great deal less whiskey is drunk where there is no whiskey for sale than where it is sold.* This is the overwhelming testimony of every county in the state which has voted out the dispensary, and yet there are a few people who take the position i . that the dispensary is the best solu- ct ’ 15 ’ IUS tion of the liquor question. The peo-. " pie of Gaffney, Spartanburg and Greenville will come forward almost with one accord and say that there is nothing like half the whiskey drunk now ag there was before the dispen sary was voted out. we j , - y I'ffer of ten fulMized packages of the following preparat.ons fer only $1.00. 1 he total cost of the*i tea product*, if pur chased at regular p. i-w. would be $2.70.

Thf* South Carolina Cotton Associa tion has sent an agent to Europe to make arrangements to sell cotton direct to the spinner. It strikes us that it would have been better if this fact had not been published. The peo ple who are working to depress the price of the staple are wise, the wisest in their generation, and being “forewarned is being forearmed.” Those wily and astute gamblers in • 'Wlall street being apprized of this move on the part of the association, will naturally leave nothing undone to checkmate this move. It is a bad Idea to give away your ammunition before going into battle. • • » , President Geo. L. Carter, of the South and Western Hallway, told a reporter for the Charlotte Observer on the occasion of his recent visit to that city, that it had not been defi nitely decided ag to whether or not his road would run by Gaffney or Spar tanburg. As has been said in these columns before, it would be the big gest thing for Gaffney that hag hap pened in years if we could induce ' these people to build their road by I Gaffney. The railroad committee of the Board of Trade should resume work on this matter with renewed energy inasmuch as the route is str undecided. Tell them about Gaff ney's large freight receipts and about our undeveloped mineral resources, about our sewerage system to or In stalled. about the county fair and about a hundred other things which 1 could be mentioned as inducements ! for them to come this way. “Do about,” gentlemen, and let’s get this railroad. • • • The receipts for the three days of the Spartanburg fair was more than $6,000, giving a clear profit to the promoters of $2,000. This Is phenomi- nal. while Galfney could not hope to do as well as this, still it Is a forgone conclusion that a fair at Gaffney would pay, and pay well. In the first place ; s fair would be the very best method ; of advertising to the world our re sources. and letting people know what we had. In the next place, It would bring the people of the county and town closer together. There are num bers of Cherokee county people who never come to Gaffney because they do not know the Gaffney people, and If we Inaugurated the fair these peo ple would nil come to Gaffney, and If they come once they will keep com ing, and In this way much good would be accomplished. Let every oitlzen j of Gaffney who has the welfare of his ! county and town at heart take aft Up coat and go to worto for the county jx. .W’W GAFFNEY TRUST CO. Authorized Capital, $20,000.
