Parftoland Man Give* Ideas On Bettering
Present Conditions
Pageland, S. C., Feb. 21, 1921.
Mr. Editor,
Please allow nie space in your columns
to express a few thoughts that
may interest some of our farmers.
Last fall some of our leading men
advised us to hold cotton, thinking
that through export corporation we
would be able to get a fair price for
our staple. But it continues to come
down, and we are not getting one
third of what we expected, the cost
of production. The high price .and
extravagent use of fertilizer, high
labor and living have got us up
against it.
Now I believe the same wind that
blows a fire and can blow, up 5f
the bellows are properly operated.
I,ast spring our barns and shelters
were fillet! with guano and the fertilizer
companies were being cursed because
they did not ship it in faster.
This fall the same buildings are filled
with cotton and our mail boxes filled
with duns for this guano, and the fertilizer.companies
are being cursed by
some because they want their money.
I don't think this is fair. We simply
made a bad trade, but we made it
and w0 take our medicine; but we
should look out for the next trade.
The factories are prepared to sell

should sot a price on it, and as we
are forced to sell cotton at one-third
value we should buy fertilizer at the
same rate. This would mean about
$17.00 for 8-3-3 guano, and $8.00

for acid and if we can't buy at these
prices let them keep it.
Some of those idlers that have
been walking around boasting of
their bonus or some easy money from
the government have about struck
bottom and will work now at living
prices, and those that won't work
should be on the road.
Some of us paid $4.50 or more per
bushel for improved cotton seed,
such as Colter's No. 12 and that great

merchant, banker and almost every
business enterprise is tangled in it;
a'nd nothing but wise planning, hard
work and economical living wil get us
out of it.
I don't beleve that exchanging 20
pounds of these seed for 14 pounds
of meal will get us out of this web. I
believe this movement will make it
more difficult to get out of it.
Some claim that one ton of meal is
worth two tons of seed, that the oil
which the seed contain are injurous to
the land but before I'll make such e>chainge
I'll put mine on th0 land if
they make .these old hills sa greasy

form of operating the bellows wil!
ever blow up this fire.
I believe we _should demand a
square deal and we'll get it.

Mr. Davis Perkins and wife and the

lodged in jail on charge of house- |
creaking and larceney, wer,> admitted i
to bond and have returned to their
ho mcs.
They have given out an interview
in which they bitterly deny their
guilt, claiming to be victims of a
frame-up. They say they wjll have no
trouble in proving this claim before
the court.
Davis was raised in Chesterfield
and has many friends here who believe
him innocent.

WANT RURAL POLICE n
There seems to be a strong senti- a
ment among the good people of the v
county for a return to the rural po- s
lice system. li
The objection offered to this system
of county police is the increase in t
salary expenditure demanded by the b
rural police. The answer is made to v
this claim that the difference is more
than made up by the greater number d

teen that no other paper in the corn
y had taken up the matter.
The Advertiser then opened i
olumns to the contestants in the issi

owing notified the proper authoritii

Now the fact that a paper of sma
drculation in the county amnounce
ho week following our entrance thi
t, too, was running such a conte
leod not be taken into consideratic
urther than to vote an unseemingl
'ffort to cause trouble.

WILL YOU HELP SAVE ON LIFE*.
The situation in the Near East is
critical and the needs for funds tf
save the women and little children oi
Armenia from death by starvation is
so great that The Advertiser has de
cided to open its columns for theii
relief.
For humanity crushed, enslaved
bleeding, we plead; exiles wandering
in the desert, children orphaned
Christian girls prisoners or slaves ii
Moslem harems; a stricken natiot
amidst implacable foes, its ancestra
territory, made sacred by the martyr
doms of fifteen centuries, seized bj
others; homes in ruin, hopes crushed
lives imperiled. This prostrate Armen
ian nation, still the battle ground o
contending armies for two years afte
the close of the World War, its crop
stolen, 2,200,000 of its citizens mas
sacred or starved to death, begs o
prosperous America for food enougl
to sustain lif?> till th . r?rr??v?ici?.c,
j bodied in the terms of the Armistic
are fulfiled. Will you help save th
grief stricken survivors, or will yoi
through indifference, let them die
America alone can save them!
