TRAGEDY OR COMEDY?
Life to many is a sort of huge joke ]
?a comedy. Such individuals are
never serious, never weighed down
with responsibilities. They throw off ]
responsibility like a duck's back sheds
water. Such individuals would ca: iy
their umbrellas so as to allow a following
pedestrian to punch out his ,
eye and upon such a situation exclaim, <
"I did not mean to do it." There is a <
disposition on the part of many parents
to train their children in the idea
that life is a funny comedy; nothing
is to be taken seriously; nothing is to
be considered reverently. The truth
is, life is a tragedy. From the cradle
to the grave it is a struggle, a battle.
With a cry the helpless infant is born.
With groans the aged man lies down
to die. In the strength of manhood
the tasks are enough to tax the muscle
and brain of the strongest. This
thing of living is a serious business,
and the sooner one realizes it the better
for him.
AS WE SEE IT.
We have pushed along the "buy-abale"
movement. We have urged every
one who is able to hold a hale to
buy one and hold it, thus keeping cotton
off the market as long as possible.
The movement has assumed wide proportions
and has done some good. Kut
the fact is, this sort of thing is but a|
makeshift. It is a remedy hut not a |
cure. A man in agony often swallows
some temporary remedy, knowing
that it will not in the least ward off
the serious operation which will follow
soon or late. The pain may be
allayed but the cause is not removed
and until that occurs the pain will recur
at intervals and with fearful vio
lence. The cotton grower must find a
cure. Remedies in plenty are to be
found. What is vastly better and what
must be found is a cure. The government's
money to move crops, the laws
demands to reduce acreage and thus
cut production are not much better.
These too are remedies and not cures.
The real cure lies in another direction
The farmer himself is the doctor in
the case; his salvation must come
from within ,not from without. He
must operate upon an entirely different
idea. Cotton must be made his
secondary crop. He must raise out of
the ground his staples of life first
and raise for the few actual needs
outside of his own resources. He must
build up his soil by planting clover
and other legumes. He must raise
fruits and vegetables and learn to
live at home. We believe he is rapidr
ly learning these lessons. The great
war now raging will do much to
teach us all that we may be independent
if we will but assert ourselves.
We need to be a-free people commercially
as well as politically and such
experiences as this season has
brought us, will go far towards helping
us so to do.
Open Letter to Teachers of County.
Superintendents, Trustees and Teachers:
Vacation is over and I trust that
everybody is ready for work. We
should start with a renewed energy
and all strive to make this the best
scholastic year Union county has ever
known. Every teacher in Union
county is a member of the Union
County Teachers association and it
will give us great pleasure to greet
all the former teachers and welcome
new ones. The Union County Teachers
association will meet Saturday,
October 10th at 12 o'clock in the Union
high school building. This is the
time for election of officers so every
teacher, trustee and principal is urged
to be present.
Hoping to see each of you there, I
am, Sincerely,
Mary Gist Fleming.

Throughout the meeting there was a
arge congregation in attendance.
DISEASED TEETH
A MENACE TO HEALTH
That the mouth of almost every inlividual
is unsanitary is no longer a
juestion of doubt. It forms an ideal
medium for the propagation of all
'orms of bacteria.
It is of just the right temperature,
contains at all times the necessary
moisture and atmosphere, and the
deal food elements ip which to devel>p
a culture of almost any germ. So
hat we have in the mouth an ideal
medium for the propagation of pneumonia,
diptheria, tuberculosis, tyihoid,
meningitis and the germ of al
??wuv v? vij umci v,unvaf;iuu."? aim in'ectious
disease.
Such a mouth^is not only a menace
:o the child that possesses it, hut
hose perms are breathed out, coughed
>ut and sneezed out into the home
:he school room, the cars, the theatres,
and each of such mouths is a
menace to an entire community.
A child with defective teeth and
an unsanitary mouth, besides the contapious
disease is menaced by such
troubles as plandular enlarpements.
tonsilitis, adenoids, all pulmonary anA
intestinal troubles, and many cases of
mania have been traced directly tithe
infection and irritation of the
trifacial through cavities in the teeth.

BROWNING SUGGESTS WAY
TO CUT COTTON ACREAGE
Mr. Editor: The preat war in Europe
has disorganized all business to
[i greater or less extent. It has been
specially destructive to the cotton industry,
which is not only the basis of
wealth in the South, but furnishes to
the United States, her favorable balance
of trade with the rest of the
world.
The business men, not only of the
South, but of the entire country, have
shown their* appreciation of this
grave situation in the "buy-a-bale"
movement and many other ways.
The governor has called the genaccomU,,
? I
vice means, if possible, to avert th(
calamitous conditions now confronting
the cotton producer.
Under these circumstances it seems
to me that at the meeting to be held
October 1st, at the various county
seats, some definite plan should be
agreed upon and submitted to the
general assembly for their consideration.
I would suggest something
along the following lines:
That a license be placed upon each
acre of cototn planted in this State
for the season of 1915, that for the
first eight or ten acres per work
animal, the license be almost nominal,
say 10c per acre; that for all
this specified amount, the license be
made practically prohibitive, say $10
per acre.
Allow me to say that I am not the
first to publicly advocate this plan,
for while I was considering its feasibility,
I saw an article in the press
by Mr. (Iruber of Walterboro of
which the above is a synopsis, and 1
have n> desire to deprive him of the
credit of first advocating it.
I would put teeth in this law and
make it effective in the following
manner?that the delegation to the
Kcuciai aancmwiy sunn recommenn
to the governor one citizen from each
school district in the State, where
cotton is grown, whose duty it shall
be, between the first of June, 1915,
and the first of July of same year, to
inspect each and every field of cotton
planted in his school district, estimating,
or if necessary, measuring the
same. He shall also ascertain the
number of work animals kept by each
producer and report his findings in
full to the county treasurer, not later
than July 15th, 1915. The county
treasurer shall then proceed to enter
it on his books under the heading
"Cotton license for the year 1915,"
and this license shall be collected as
the other taxes are collected. For the
pay of this school district inspector, I
would recommend that they receive
about $2 per day for not more than
ten days, and an additional $10 for
necessary traveling expenses and j

In addition to the ahove, I would
recommend that the general assentr
hly enact that an additional license
fee of $1 he collected upon each ton
of fertilizers over and above two tons
that shall he used under the cotton
cultivated by each work animals. Of
course, this would have no reference
to fertilizer used under grains or any
other crops except cotton. It might
be advisable, however, to give the inspector
the power to administer oaths
and require him to take the oath of
the producer as to how much, and id
what way his fertilizer was used per

Just one other suggestion, and I
will bring this to a close. 1 do not
suppose a law could be enacted that
would apply to the following, but I
would most earnestly urge it for the
consideration of landlords and tenants.
A great deal of our cotton is
now produced by tenants who pay a
fixed rental of so many pounds of lint
cotton per work animal. I would recommend
that one half of this cotton
rent be changed to oats, corn, hay or
some other farm crop to be delivered
at a fixed price, or that a specified
number of bushels or pounds of the
same be paid as half the rental. This

will he only a matter of justice from
the landlord to the tenant, and besides,
in thus reducing the cotton production
for another yeur. he will be
aiding in enhancing the price of that
which is produced.
Trusting that the press of the state
generally will give this as much publicity
as possible, I am.
Very respectfully,
Lowndes Browning.
