?? SALTERS SKETCHES. I Items oi Interest, Local and Personal, Briefly Paragraphed. Salters Depot, October 5:?Everyone seems blue over the cotton outlook; picking is progressing rapidly and the ginneries have about all they can do. Not a bale has been sold here yet. Considerable corn is being harvested and is making a good crop. The hay crop is fine an(f is being cut whenever the weather permits. Work on .Mrs W S Cooper's residence is being pushed rapidly and when completed this dwelling will be quite an addition to our town. Thp eountv chaincransr is doing some much-needed work on the roads around here now, opening them out and scraping them up with the plow. This, with the addition of clay on the worst sand places, will give us good roads. Clay can be easily had and we sincerely hope that, this work will be thoroughly done while the chaingang is here. Salters High and Graded school opened September 28, with bright prospects for a successful year. The Rural School Improvement association met and organized Friday for work during the present session. Miss Leila B Ferguson, the efficent principal here, has returned to her rwvst nf dutv. much to the gratifica ^ ?tion of both patrons and pupils. She has an able assistant in Miss Mary B Heyward, both of whom are busy getting their pupils in line. We are glad to welcome these young ladies back with us again.

Heinemann, October5:?The weather is dark and dreary and the poor farmers are hauling- their cotton and having it ginned?those who have any picked out?and are waiting for the price to go up, but I tell you the outlook is very gloomy. They are all very anxious to see the News and Courier every day, but whpn thev read it thev don't find any relief therefrom. All that they can get is "resolutions." Oh,bj the way.where is "Cotton" Smith? Now is the time that the farmers are needing him, for you know the old saying is, "A friend in need is a friend indeed." Riding on ] a bale of cotton drawn bv four gray mules is an easy thing to do, but | -when the price goes down is the time to ride on the cotton and keep , it up. ( School teachers are arriving at | Heinemann; two came in Saturday, , Miss M Daggett of Georgetown,who is the teacher at the Heinemann school, and Miss Minnie McFaddin, of Clarendon county,who has charge i of the Boyd school. 1 When this cruel war is over we look for better times and higher prices for cotton.

The movement for individuals to "buy a bale of cotton" has spread all over the country and has aroused general interest. It has done something, even now, to check the machinations of the bears who hoped to get cotton down to 6 cents. As soon as it is manifest that the bear campaign against cotton has ] 1 1 e ?:ii j iaucu, cue uaxma ui uic ouutii w n i avail themselves of the opportunities offered by the use of the emergency currency based on cotton warehouse receipts to get money to relieve the cotton planters, who are now cotton pickers, in harvesting this great crop and in holding enough cotton to prevent a panic in the market. < It is manifest that the cotton acreage for next year will be greatly reduced. The farmers ought at once to begin making calculations upon this basis. They ought to do everything in their power to diversify their crops next year and to bring the cotton acreage under corn or grass or cowpeas. They ought to raise more hogs, more cattle. They ought to do something more for the dairy. They ought to get what they can from early vegetables aDd early fruit. v We know that some of these changes are possible everywhere, but all of them are possible somewhere. The real cotton problem can be solved only by the cotton planter himself. For,even though the war cease, it will be some years before the world is ready to absorb an American crop of 15 million bales at profitable prices to the planter.?Home and Farm. Tax Notice.
