The war talk and low ice of cotton is the talk these days politics is about over. It seems i greatest rally is past and today 11 settle it for the next two years. The cotton question is the greatest any of these with us for we don't ink that we people of the United ates will have to go to war as long Wilson is president. We hope ire will turn up a way for the farmi to get a good price for his cotton, vill suggest that every farmer keep t cotton in his own warehouse, by at I mean in his own cotton house long as he can. There is no one t who could keep his cotton till the st of November. I do believe if eryone would get a higher price- ep the cotton off the market for a lile anyway. We are getting noth? anyway when we take 7 l-2c. It es not look like it would go ur.y ver if we wait and let us risk it. >w keep it at home is what I am gor to do for a few months anyway d risk chances. Mr. W. H.

Moxy. WILKIN S VILLE Wilkinsville. Sept. 7.?It has been me time since I have written a ter to The Times and its about ne I ventured another. The Times our old family newspaper, in fact, is one of our household necessities d its bright face and newsy colms always has a cordial welcome th us and our family. I always ad, besides its splendid editorial, e newsy letters from various corresndenls in different parts of the unty, and appreciate both of these r they are clean, clear and well goti up and this is what makes a par popular, always. I have been mck with Comrade G. T. Gault's ters in the last issues, that of the iirth especially; that paragraph in lich the writer deals with the situa>n politically on the Ridge. It is good, and covers so much ground this particular time that we feel e passing it on to others. Comtle Gault is one of the connecting ks between the past and present neration and what he says is well ?rth remembering. He is no "fire ter," and no bushwhacker to strike low the belt. He has already tasted s bitter pill of war and knows how express the horrors of its calamis and in his appeal in behalf of his reak and erring" brethren he jches a chord that finds a ready iponse in every patriotic heart? e that is filled with love for our low men and the fear of God. Wilm T. Sherman of incendiarv notory said: "War is hell." Yes, and might have emphasized its expresin by saying "War is hell turned >se." No matter whether it is beeen armed soldiers in the field of ttle contending for the mastery, or tween citizens of the same- cominwealth at the ballot box contendr for what they think is right?the ue is the same. It is true neveraless, that a good war is better an ignoble peace, however costly her may be. Miss Myrtice Fowler, the beautiful d attractive daughter of Mr. and rs. Wm. G. Fowler, was married to r. Arthur Wilkerson at the home of r parents last Wednesday evening, tne bride's uncle, Rev. J. T. Fow\ of McColl. The happy couple afr the consumation of the marriage remony took their departure for a bridal trip through several states and TP cities of our beloved Southland. We wish for them all the pleasure that a happy married life can afford. Ch The people of Salem are making ready for the meeting of the Bethel Presbytery which is to take place at 8:30 o'clock next Tuesday evening ) the 15th. Immediately after the ad- one joumment of the presbytery, prepa- tod tory services for the full communion the will begin and on the following Sab- pri bath the Lord's supper will be cele- vel brated. Rev. E. E. Gillespie of York- por ville will assist Rev. W. B. Arrow- the wood, the pastor, in the preaching agt service. We are authorized to say to that the public is cordially invited to wa attend any and all of these services, of Your correspondent is looking for- Iocj ward with much interest to the meet- me ing of synod at Union this fall which wai I hope to attend, not as a delegate / but as a quiet looker-ori. sai< Prof, and Mrs. L.

Uni thr KELTON of owt Kelton, S. C., Sept. 7.?We are hay- of ing some hot weather now. Cotton is cull opening very fast and picking will be- con gin in earnest as soon as most of the ?rn fodder will be gathered. Politics is irnP very quiet on the Ridge and' tomor- reni row will decide the second primary. The) newspapers boosting Manning _ just as they did Smith and 1 guess he inst will be the next governor. mer The newspapers are full of resolu- to j tions, etc., concerning the cotton situ- com ation; almost all kinds of plans are tent suggested and it wont amount to a "1 row of pins unless there is some con- that certed action. With all the cotton bia growing states resolutions are like bini pie crust, easy broken and for all the stat cotton growing states to pass a law to reat cut their acreage 50 or 75' per cent stat of last years crop, I don't believe it T would stand the test of the courts, chai Yes, there are many that would join ball together to carry it into the courts to agr test the constitutionality of the law. pric I am no lawyer and never have had a ed case in court and don't want one but Tha I believe if all the cotton states were stra to get together and all pass a law man that every farmer could plant all the and land he wanted to in cotton but all on the bales he made to every plow, say men two to five hundred pound bales to B< the plow and all over that he made to the tax it $5.00 per hundred pounds lint for \ or $25.00 per bale and this tax money used to run each government. I believe such a law would stand in the courts as good as the road tax law 1. of our State; such a law would not de- in? prive any man from planting all his ning land in cotton if he chose to do so. 2. This idea of planting half the acre the in cotton next year that he planted ning this year is not a fair proposition for the < many reasons. First, many cotton 3. farmers have already cut their acre- the s age 50 per cent. It would not be ning fair for that poor farmer who only conta makes 4 to 6 bales to the plow and 4.' the other fellow who never has re- ^herduced his crop but rather increased it and is making from 15 to 20 bales to the plow and sometimes more and f^ft if every man was to reduce his acre- ( age 50 to 75 per cent, the farmers then would try to make as much cotton on char 7 1-2 acres as they were making on 5. 15 acres this year and and what that would be benefited. After all there is on 1 over one million bales old cotton whei on hand, a 15,500,000 crop making not < this year and nearly all of Europe or f now and soon will be engaged in one frorr of the greatest wars the world has ever known and no one known how 'hat long it will last, the hundreds of that thousands and likely millions of men hum killed and disabled in this greatest of and wars and the tens of millions of their use families unable to buy the cotton i requ goods that can be made out of co 'on " we had on hand and vet the l.'nited OUts States may be drawn into this war ''u! before it is ended. There are men in ?)nCl the United States who want to crown keep themselves with priory as generals and duct colonels, etc., little caring how many * privates there are to do the fighting. ''oa'1 We have a wise president and a wise load cabinet whom I believe will do .ill ^'ou they can to keep this country out of (1ors the struggle. Some who want to vet 'lls* some honor will cry our flag has heen insulted or our nation's honor is at P'p" stake. Well just let them tackle on: w'u< country and we will give them the best we have. Well, I will get. back "rol to the cotton situation?unless we can get some kind of law on the cotton question that I have outlined, we had just as well drop the matter and !? * j, . every man exercise his own judgment. . ^ granting that we can get all the moil- ds ey we want and can get storage for Per< it for one year and then raise another ls crop. It all would be put on the mar- P0*?! ket and little demand for it and w< . 1 would be glad to get five cents for it in should the war continue a few months. ^a;vs The best thing the South should do t"'3 should the war continue until next March would be for us to plant not a seed of cotton. The best piece I have seen on the cotton question was that , dictated by J. W. Norwood, of Green- .0 . ville, in The Columbia State. Mrs. Gibson, wife of Rev. Gibson, 1' " who has been in a hospital in Spar- J? : tanburg, has returned home. Sunday night closed a very inter- .! . esting meeting at Mt. Joy Baptist '"'J church. Rev. Wren did the preaching. , He is a very forceful speaker. The . result was several joined the church. . Misses Elizabeth and Mary Little and Mabel Kelly, Messrs Fondren and Bill Little, and Charley Garner left this week for Landrum to attend school. G. T.
