The Piedmont Observer sussests Mat each township subscribe **ocfc t« the county fair and that each township have representation on the beard of directors. This we think Is a capital suggestion. Let this mat ter be discussed at the next Board of Trade meeting. • • • The Columbia State on Sunday Is sued Its Christmas edition. It Is a genuine work of art. and is character istic of the enterprising progresslre- ness of one of the best newpsapers of the Sou .a. The State believes In the old motto that "Whatever Is worth doing at all is worth doing well.” This not only applies to the Christmas edition, but to every Issue which comes from Its press. • * * The Charlotte Observer announced some time ago that It woud Issue a Christmas edition on December 15th. We knew of the enterprise of that splendid newspaper, but we were not prepared for the mammonth slxty- .fsur page paper which was the result of the announcement. The getting out of such a raagniflcient paper In volved many days of hard work, and the result should be a source of much pride to Mr. Caldwell and every employee of the paper who contrl- i bntPd to the Issue. • • • It is unfortunate that differences j should exist at this time among the members of the Farmers’ Union ofj the State. If there ever was a time •when the farmers should present a united front, It Is now. They have the fight of their lives on hand at this time, and If they are defeated It will #ipple them for years. They are not only lighting for financial gain but they are fighting for a prin ciple just ns their fathers fought for from 1861 to 1865. Their fathers fought with arms; the farmers of to day are fighting with their wits and they are fighting an enemy who la far more relentless and determined than were the soldiers who wore the blue. It is a humiliating admission to make, hut it is a fact that the sons of some of the veterans who fought on the side of the South in 1861-’65 are in Wall street now in the fore front of the battle armed and equip- fcd fighting their brothers of the South with far more intensity than the blue clad soldier fought those of the South who wore the gray. The Southern men in Wall street who are aligned against the farmer ba his fight for liberty and indepen dence should be ranked with Bene dict Arnold because, he, like them, be trayed his country for money. Ar nold lived and died despised of all good men, and this fate would not be too severe for the traitors referred to here. FOR SALE FOR SALE—Those beautiful lots in front of Central Graded school.

TO RENT OR TO BUY A Gaffney man said a few days ago, “I’d like to buy a home of ray own, but I can’t afford it.” He was mistaken. Any man who can afford to pay rent can afford to buy a home if he will take advantage of the Peoples B. & L. Plan and lie can buy just as good a home as he can rent. The only diffjprence is he buys for himself instead of his landlord. Start today by taking stock and filing your application. ! V R. M. WILKINS, Prest. R. S. LIPSCOMB, Treas. J. F. GARRETT,V.-Prest.
