We sympathize with the (reenville
Daily Piedmont in the loss of their
plant by fire. We hope and believe
that the management will be spiurred
on by the misfortune to gel out even
a better paper than they put out before.

The City Council has decided, from
reasons of economy, not to pithlish the
license ordinance this year. It has
legal advice to the effect that the law
does not require it. The Advertiser
does not find fault with the disposition
to be economical, thlotigh we tquestion
the economy in this and all other econ
omics which tend to obscure thee de
tails of the city govertmient.

thing all rentera do not dho this, nc
do all farnmerfl who work their ow

ticularly, for years and one that has
caused a great and admitted deterioa
tion in the productivity of our soil.
There is no just. solution of any
rinestion unless bo111 sides are dealt
justly by. So. there is no solution
or rather inprovemienlt, of the renting
system unless the interests of both
the renter and the landlord are con
served. Ii case of -being ejected by
his landlord. the renter should be

the landlord should demand and en
force proper care of the soil. The long
term lease with the option to renew
offers a promising solution.

told that there were no boll-weevils
around El Paso, as there was no cot
