Keep the Money at Home.
Suppose you dan buy froai
Sears, Roebuck <fc Co an article for
$1.00 that woulu cost you $1.50
from yonr home merchant; are
you really the gainer? Deduct the
express charges and yon have a
fancied gain of twenty-five cents.Suppose
the goode don't suit you?
aod it's an accident when they do,
as these concerns palm off on
country "greenhorns" the stuff
that their city customers would
soorn?what redress have the out
: '
of town patrons? You return the
goods and they tell yon that they
are damaged and charge yon. as
such as they please, so that when
jour money is returned (they all
guarantee to give yon your money
back) it is just about one-half of
what yon are entitled to.
Another view to take of it:
Suppose you get hard up during
the doll summer months, would
you ask Messrs Sears, Roebuck ?fc
Co. or Messrs Montgomery, Ward
& Co. or Messrs R H Macy & Co,
to credit yon until your crop
was harvested? Well, hardly, and
if you did they would laugh at
.< you. .
And, again, it is to be considered
that every dollar that i3 sent
away from a town or community
impoverishes that community just
to the amount that is sent off.
There is such a community of interest
in a town or country ntfgh
borhood that every dollar .that
goes out of circulation affects to
# certain extent tne entire population.
Another point to remember is
this: Suppose there is a church
to fee built, or any charitable enterprise
needing aid, where would
you go for money? How much
would the catch-penny Northern
houses contribute? Would not the
home merchant and business man
be the source from which you
would count on getting the money?
These are facts that are often
overlooked and the moral is:
"Keep the money at home."

"Hold your cotton!" That is
the (slogan of both the Farmers
' union and the Southern
Cotton association; and it would
be well for the farmers to give
heed to the advice of tnese two
organizations. As is always the
case at this time of the year the
speculators, taking advantage of
the rush of cotton to the market
to satisfy pressing obligations,
send broadcast the report that a
tremendous crop has been made.
Such a report is wholly unwarranted
either by the government:
figures or by any other available
source of reliable information.
Not less thf.n fourteen million
/
bales of cotton are needed to ^
supply tbe world's demand for the ^
South's staple product and i t is (j
estimated that, the present crop /j
will fall nearly two million bales ^
short of that figure. V
\ vj
That being the case every pound V
of cotton put on the market should :
bring thirteen cents or more, and y
the farmer who sells his cotton \
for less than thirteen cents is (
sacrificing his own invests and (
playing into the hauds of 'Wall (j
street speculators. (j
Heretofore in Williamsburg coun- (j
ty tbe farmer bad a good excuse (j
for hurrying his cotton to market j|
* ' ' ? ? ?. i ...j
ne DBU uo pmue iu uuuec il auu ^
the deterioration caused by weath- j
er exposure wouldj overbalance a ^
possible rise in the market. But
this condition has been met by the
* I
public-spirited business men of .
Kingstree and the surrounding
country by building a cotton storage
warehouse. Here at a very
moderate cost you can store your
cotton and hold it until the price
suits you, and moreover, on your =
ware house certificates you can
borrow eighty per cent of the value
of your cotton. Thousands of
these ware houses are all over the
cotton belt and they present a
solid bulwark of defense against
the onslaughts of predatory speculators
who fix the price of cotton
and probably never saw a cotton
plant. The fight is on and if the
farmers?or any considerable aumber
of them?will stand shoulder
to shoulder, victory is assured.
Obituary Notices.
There seems to be some misunderstanding
existing among our readers
as to the publishing of
obituary notices, tributes of respect,
resolntions of thanks, etc.,
netwstanding our weekly announce.
men* that thav are to be Daid
? * J ? " " *
for all over one hundred words
in length. Nearly every day there 1
come to us obitnary notices, in '
nearly every case over the limit and
sometimes containing a thousand
wgrds, yet it is seldom indeed
that anything is said about paying
for excess words. Not only
this but frequently we get two
or three Obituaries applying to one
person, and sometimes each year T
after a person dies we are called
on to publish an obituary, a sort
of annual reminder.
Now we have great respect for
the feelings of everyone bereaved
and are willing to do anythiug
reasonable in the way of svmpa- f<
thy. But it is to be remember- ti
ed that a newspaper is a business *
enterprise and its subscribers ex- u
pect the news. It oosts money to a
set type and it is a hardship on a
ns to be put to the expense of p
setting up two or thiee lengthy
i '
obituary notices about ooe person, q
On occasion we have actually had *
to leave out several columns of r
news matter already in type to ti
make room for obituaries of persons
who had died months before. _
*
Again, we try to treat all our
81
patrons alike and if we were
p
called upon to publish two or
three obituaries, one-half column
b
co two columns long, auuui ?*? ry ^
person who died in the county we
would not have space for anything
else at all. t
It happens frequently that a o:
number of rerses of poetry and ?
whole hymns are appended to the ?
obituary article. It costs us twice
as much to put poetry in type as
prose and we cannot afford to j
publish it free of charge in (I
obituary notices, so *hen poetry \
is added count the words and figure
the cost at one cent a word.
Of course we do not mean the 9
