The common sense of the farmer is
his best asset. No amount of outside
help, no heaping up of pity can avail
him much. He will have to be the
architect of his own fortune. There
is not a farmer in the county that does
not know more than he puts into practice.
Fact is, most of them would do
vastly better than they do if they had
the necessary capital. The lack oi
money is one of his chief lacks, and he
knows this as well as any one else
knows it. The present hijrh price of
all farm products helps the farmer
who was in easy circumstances, but
pinches the unprepared man. It is a
fact that with everything: in the way
of food for man and supplies for stock
produced in abundance the price would
be low on these articles. Cabbage at
10 cents a pound looks attractive to
the producer. But two cents a pond is
the normal price, and it is the price
that will prevail wtih the coming: of
normal production and normal times.
Hog raising looks attractive with bacon
selling around 20 cents a pound.
But this price will not prevail with
the coming of normal times. This
year, particularly, the farmer knows
he must raise feed stuffs. He must
make tremendous effort to raise everything
possible for the feeding of man
and beast. He cannot go wrong here.
Then, he knows that he must raise all
the cotton he can.
SHOULD BE CENSORED.
The moving' picture show is a thing
of modern, very modern times. It
has come to stay, for it has in it vast
potentialities. I.ike all great creations
that have come to our modern civilization
it has its dangers. It is, within
itself, neither good nor bad, but has
the capacity to serve on the side of;
either force. If the business can be
kept clean it is a wonderful source
of worthy amusement and a large factor
in the distribution of knowledge.
If it is to pander to the base and brutal.
and to make sin attractive, it is
capable of untold harm. The indelible
impression left upon the mind, particularly
the child's mind, is beyond all
i i _ a : ti - ? **
raicuiuuun. i nese impressions snouid
he wholesome, cloan, moral.
There is altogether too great leniency
on the part of the public as to
what should be shown. There must be
a radical change in this respect or the
thinking public will realize that the
picture show is a thing to be condemned
in no uncertain words. There
should be a strict censorship of the
moving picture show. And each community
should protect itself, not trusting
to some unknown and perhaps fictitious
censorship. Any film corporation
can have at the beginning and the
end of the picture: "Passed by the
Blank Board of Censors." That is not
worth the space it takes up on the
film. Each community should demand
clean pictures and should have a board
of censors of its own.
The brutal, cold-blooded murders
pictured so often, can but lead to ;
harvest of murder, for the impression
made upon the child's mind is indelible.
The lascivious, immoral reproductions
of vuljrar scenes, the too
often repeated scenes in which one
man is too attentive to another man's
wife, should be put under the ban. The
cold-blooded sex pictures should be
put under the ban. The fact is that it
is of frequent occurrence that younj*
men and younpr women sit through the
reproduction of scenes that are not
only repulsive, but are actually horrifying.
If the moving picture is to be
saved to its possible good use it must
be put upon a higher plane.
Mr. C. C. iJaneaster of West Springs
was a visitor to Union Thursday.
BUFFALO
Buffalo, March 21.?The officers and
teachers of the Methodist Sunday
school attended a teachers' meeting on
Tuesday night last by special invitation
of the Monarch Methodist Sunday
school. After listening to some very
able and instructive talks along Sunday
school lines by various Sunday
school representatives, a sumptuous
repast was heartily enoyed, and to
say the evening was pleasantly spent,
too mildly expresses it. These meeting,
which have been recently started,
has already proven to be very helpful
to Sunday school workers aside from
the social feature connected. In meeti
n tr nnrl ovpli unrrinrr t/looo n vwl Wno?.?Mr#
suggestions from different Sunday
school officials, it creates a greater interest
and a resolve to do more for
the advancement and improvement of
Sunday school work. We wish to
thank that noble band of Sunday
school workers for the great hospitality
accorded us. and especially do
we wish to thank Rev. .Tas. H. Brown,
pastor of the Methodist church at
Monarch, and his good wife who left
othing undone to make our stay pleasant
and enoyable. We would suggest
that a similar occasion with more of
the Sunday schools of the county
would not he out of order.
A quiet wedding, the announcement
of which comes as a surprise to many
friends, was that of Miss Nellie Scarboro
to Mr. D. O'Shields, both
of this place; was solemnized Saturday
evening at the Methodist parsonage.
the Rev. B. H. Harvey being the
officiating clergyman. The bride is the
youngest daughter of our esteemed
townsman, Mr. B. F. Scarboro, and a
i sister of Mrs. C. A. Miller of Union.
! She is a lady of unusual charm and attractiveness
and her friends are numbered
by the score. The groom is a
popular and accommodating clerk in
lie company store. Their many friends
wish for them a pleasant matrimonj
ial voyage. For the present they are
boarding with her brother, Mr. R. I).
Scarboro. on St. Elmo street.
Mrs. J. I,. Padgett spent the weekend
with her mother, Mrs. Hilton, at
Columbia.
Mr. H. T. Hicoine and Mice Annin
L. Green spent Sunday last at Newberry.
They made the trip in Mr.
Biggins' new car and reported a most
delightful trip.
With the exception of a few cases
of measels in town the general health
of the place is splendid.
The Ladies' Embroidery club met
with Mrs. W. C. Poole on Tuesday
evening at her hospitable home in East
Buffalo, where a most delightful evening
was spent. After engaging in doing
fancy work and socially chatting
at some length, very tempting and delicious
refreshments were served,
which all did ample justice to the
occasion. These social gatherings continue
to grow in favor, and are invariably
looked forward to with no
little degree of pleasure.
The Baptists have recently installed
a bell in the Baptist church, which will
prove quite a convenience.
Dr. Chas. H. .Tones spent Sunday
last in Spartanburg.
Mr. W. A. Johnson spent last Sunday
with his daughter, Mrs. C. A.
Greer, at Ottaray.
Dr. F. E. Fowler and Mr. Jas. Bates
of Monarch spent a few hours in town
Sunday evening.
The members of the Methodist
church are planning the building of
a new fence around the parsonage,
which will add much to the beauty
and attraction of that section of the
town.
