DARK CORNER.

Dark Corner, October 7.-Cotton
is nearly all opened and the most
of the farmers have kept up with It
consequently there is but little to PICK
now. That is, where fagmers did not
refuse to give SO cents per 100 fo1
picking. Some few said that they
you'd not give more than 40 cents
which I think is not fair IF cotton
sells for cents pickers should be
paid 4e cents, if cents As cents and
when it is bringing 10 cents the pick
ers should get SO cents.
Some few have commenced to gath
.er corn, which is very light, mostly
shacks.
Some hay is being cut, but not as
much as should be. Farmers cannot
leave their cotton long enough to cut
hay.
Ten cent cotton is great thing in
fhis old world now, but am sorry
to say it is making many drunks
among the young bucks, which is a
shame. I expect that DR.. Windham
gets more calls now than every other
doctor in your city, for his remedies
are thought to be good for so many
lis. from a snake bite to a pain in
the toe. They seem to be doing your
city some good from the way I see

plain citizens clothes and travel
stained-very hayseed in appearance.
Mine host was not there to do the
honors, and the unsuspectlng folK,
thinking the general some country
cracker, subjected him to all manner
of silly questions about the price and
quality of hay, ETC., with many wit
ty (?) remarks as to his attire. what
was their chagrin and embarrassment
when his friend came clustering Ill
and. oblivious of the company, rushed
to the general whom he greeted IN
the warmest, the most cordial man
ner. who, upon introduction, showed
in every line Of his face his supreme
contempt for the herd. But this ASIDE
from making hay. Part Of 1t, though
niled is unstacked and may be lost.
Shall I on that account NOPE around
and no1r NV complaint in every ear!
Nav rather let me make more nay.
If YOU have any troubles, misfortunes,
eriefs. hide them from the world. II
does not love to mourn, but it will
laugh with you all day; will come to
see YOU that it may laugh. Two Wis
ionaries who get little sympathy but
much contempt-they who see only
the bright or the dark side Of things
the optimist and pessimist. Of the
two I had rather be the former. A
thousand times let me go through the
world with a smile rather than a
frown and scowl.
Good provender is somewhat scarce
here and fine field Of peas is rare.
Corn is fair and cotton short. From
all I can see and read the Asheville
conventions estimate is safe, and yet
the price is below 10 cents. There is
a reason for this state Of affairs. The
other day some '4bull' speculator
came out in a flaming article on the
greatest, the strongest organization in
the world, and what it was doing
the Cotton Growers Association. To
me it appears quite the contrary, an
acknowledgment painful to make, the
most disjointed affair to be called an
organization. I venture the assertion
that there is not we'll organized
township in all the cotton belt. 1t is
best to face the matter squarely, to
see things as they are, and not some
rose-colored picture Of them. We
need organization badly, for there is
work that cannot be done without it,
the failure to perform which will
bring disaster, mayhaps death to the
organization. 60 I would see Sumter
county, Rafting Creek township, in
particular, take the lead in this mat
ter.
Folks may call me mouthy; what
matters it if I can wake them up? My
purpose is good if my aim is bad. 1t
is time we were considering the acre
age of another crop. It will require
considerable campaigning to hold the
people to the present acreage and
amount Of fertilizer. Agitate, agitate,
is the word Of the hour.
But 1 have already written to too
great length. '.Hagood"

Children and Automobiles.

A coroner's jury having exonerated the
motorist whose machine killed child In
this city the other night, there Is nothing to
do but to acquiesce in the verdict and hope
that the tragedy will bear fruit In gen.
eral warning of all owners and users OF
automobiles to be more careful in their use
OF the public streets. and all parents to be
more vigilant in keeping their children out
of the thoroughfares. 1t does. however.
seem odd that a motor running as slowly
as this one was described by some of
the witnesses could not be checked In time
to avoid striking the victim, even II she
did double In her tracks. 1t is one of the
most insistent claims of motorists that they
are really entitled to wider liberty of
action than the law allows because of their
ability to bring their machines SO quickly
to a halt. An automobile making only
eight or ten miles an hour should be capa-
BILE OF being braked TO a standstill in a
very short distance.
However. the jury accepted the claim that
the machine was making less than the
speed limit and that the operator employed
all his devices to avoid an accident. This
brings the case squarely up to the propo-
sition that the children play in the streets
at their own risk. an undeniable truth in
from their activity. Whatever may have
been the case on 18th street southeast the
other night 1t is well-established fact
that automobiles are speeded daily and
nightly through the streets of this city at
an unlawful and a highly dangerous rate.
Often the horns are not blown and the
bells are not rung in warning. The great
machines are hurtled forward into the dark
ness of the night with their immediate
courses indicated by the binding lights.
1t is no wonder that children. seeing these
monsters approaching, become confused
and run back and forth in their panic.
Is the child to be kept rigidly within the
bounds of the curbstones after darkness
falls? Is the pavement TO be regarded as
a soldier does a battlefield, the possible
scene Of sudden death? on the other hand,
is the automobile to be confined to a slow
pace in the night because OF the chance
that a youngster may suddenly dart be-
meath the wheels7 Which horn OF the
dilemma is to be chosen? Which is the
lesser evil?
