The movement to cut down th cotton acreage this year is a raovi moot to 1)0 commended. Whetln wo fall in with the "Rock Hi I'lan," or some other plan?just e we reduce?that's the main thin* Let's look over some figures: Th eighth cotton ginners' report, put fished Dec. 30th, although there i one also published on Jan. 23rd will serve to illustrate. In 191 Union county ginned, up to Der 23rd, the total of 17,739 bales. U to the same period of 1911 Unio county ginned 21.7G7 bales. Thi means the difference of 4,028 bales there being that many more bales i 1911 ifcan in 1910 up to that period Buppose the farmer got an averag of 13 cents for the crop of 1910. J the bales averaged 500 pounds h received for his cotton the sum c $1,153,035. Now the same rule applied to the crop of cotton i 1911, if sold for an average of cents a pound would not $979.51.1 which is $173,520 less than the tc tal received for the year before That means that Union count raised 4,028 bales of cotton mor than in 1910 and got for the whol $173,520 less?a sorious loss at bot ends of the game. What is true ( Union county was true practical 1 throughout the cotton belt. L< the farmers of Union county an throughout the cotton districts rea i?e the lesson taught in the abov roasoning, and let them gover themselves accordingly. Let's cu down the acreage. Let's make good job of it. There is a country church locate four miles south of Union, Hebro by name, which has for years plant ed a ''pastor's cotton patch," rait ing upon the small piece of groun< a cotton crop. This year they ar arranging to plant this same field ii corn. In other words, they are g<i ing to reduce to nothing and thu set a good example to the farmer of Union county. Of couise, Mr Farmer, you need not cut to zero hut if you would cut down one fourth or one-half you would h joining in a movement that mean much to the cotton country. I Ail it l>e stilted thus: The whol crop to Deo. 23, 1910, was 4,02 hales short of that of the same dat this year, yet it brought to the pro ducers of Union county more than the crop of 11)11. I'onde these figures and you will bo wel paid for your trouble. We would l>e glad to have thecit, authorities get out a trial halanc sheet. The report published las week gives no information. It doe not include the open accounts owe* by the town. It does not realh how assets or liabilities. We shook very much liko to have the towi make a statement that would shov assets and liabilities?a trial balano sheet.

Btcase and "The Best People." ^ n t ^ Because of our statement that "Blease is typical of the great body J a of the people who elected him to the office which he continues daily to d disgrace," The Gaffney Ledger pron j teats that if wo feel this way , i we should let poor old South ; Carolina severely alone and at- c tend to our own State, "which in 1 d time not ho far removed from the J e present, has had chief executives < who for ignorance and prejudice f were worthy rivals of the executive" J " of whom we have spoken. That, f 8 however, has nothing to do with s the present case, we should think; ? >. and when we are told hy The J ( laalger that " Mease's election would t have been impo-sihle without the t votes of Home of the host people in t the State," we do not feel that we ' s have spoken despitefully of our V neighbors, and when it admits thai i 0 in saying " Itleaso is typical of those s s who elected him," we were "inak- 11 ing a statement that is calculated to Jj e do no little harm to the people who >- are ready liowcd down under a I 0 burden which is almost too heavy to w r{bcar." "We know," says The 'H . >Ludger, "what he (The Observer) c I nays is largely true, and it galls us * [to have it thrown tn our fact'*." H We do not think any com men t is * y required from us in so plain a rase v e as this. At the risk, however, of ? I being charged with a meddlesome t H disposition, wo would remark that ! "without the votes of some of the H I best people in the State," it will !>e t V t impossible for Governor Blease to t i j be re-elected.?Charlotte Observer. lJ i ? v The White Man's Choice y f, "Governor Cole Blease war not h I loaded upon South Carolina by the votes of the ignorant negroes; no negro, ignorant or otherwise, had v any say in the matter.
