Unprofitable Adam.

There is occasion for much beating
about the bush for answers to many
questions put by wise theologues to
timid people, but one set Of men
found their match in the old Scotch
woman under examination for admis-
sion to church fellowship.
"What are the DEGREES Of God7''
she was solemnly asked.
''Indeed, I trow, he kens that best
himsel'.'
"What kind Of man was Adam?'
''Ou, just like ither fouk!'' was
the quick reply.
The questioner insisted on a more
definite answer. ''Weel," said she,
che was just like Jeems Madden, ye
ken.'
"How 500"
"Weel, naebody got anything by
him, and mony lost.''

strong organizations. which they nave,
will stand together after having
agreed to do so, they can control the
situation and receive the price, which
they have fixed for tneir staple crop.
If, on the other hand, they continue
to put it on the market at price
even below thirteen cents, they may
just as well make up their minds now
not to undertake for years to come
any efforts looking to the fixing Of a
minimum price, and may just as we'll
60 on as they nave been doing for
the last several years, viz, bring their
cotton to the buyer and ask him what
ne will give for it and take whatever
the money power in Wall Street may
see fit to fix the price.
We are very anxious to see the far
mers win in this great struggle and
we have endeavored in feeble way
to do all that we could to encourage
them to stand together and protect
their own interest.
It certainly would be to the advan-
taee Of the bankers and merchants
throughout the cotton states to assist
the farmers in winning the battle,
which is now on.
We may be mistaken, but it is our
firm conviction that it is the purpose
Of the spectators to put the farmers
to the test and that in doing so they
have, without rhyme or reason, re-
gardles Of supply and demand and re-
gardless Of the price Of cotton goods
and the demand for cotton goods,
forced the cotton market down. 1t is
up to you, Mr.. Farmer, to say wheth-
er or not you are going to give up the

Friday, September 20, 1907.

It would seem from the reports,
which we read in the daily papers
yesterday that Saluda iSs been at
work and has not been doing much
talking lately in regard to the build
ing Of railroad into and through this
most fertile section Of South Carolina.
According to these reports the organ
ization has been completed and work
was commenced yesterday morning at
Greenwood, and it is proposed to
build the road into Saluda and it IS
claimed that the road will be in oper-
alton within eighteen months. The
distance, it is stated, is twenty-nine
miles. This road will go through one
of the most fertile sections Of South
Carolina and a section that is in great
need of railroad facilities. We are
glad that the people Of Saluda are at
last to have a railroad entering the
county seat.
This, however, should not interfere
in the least with the building Of the
trolley, which We have been talking
about, from Edgefeld via Saluda to
Newberry. In fact, it should be ad-
ditional incentive in the building of
this trolley line.
We should think it was about time
that Chairman Nicholson was calling
his committees together to hear the re-
ports, which they were instructed to
make after having secured the nee
essary information.

PUT TO THE TEST.

In the face Of the minimum price
fixed by the farmers in their conven-
tons as the Southern Cotton asocia-
tion and the National Farmers Un-
ion at fifteen cents, and in the face
Of the further fact that the mills are
making a profit out Of thirteen to
fifteen cents cotton at the present
price Of cotton goods, and with the
still additional fact that the prospect
for this crop is that it will be below
the consumption, the price Of cotton
continues to go down. There can be
but one explanation of this, as we see
it. And that is, that the money pow
er in the money center Of New York,
through the spectators, is putting
the farmers and their organizations
to the test.
The demand and supply has absol-
utely lotning to do with the down.
ward tendency Of the cotton market;
the price of cotton goods has nthipg
to do with it; the fight is on between
the spectators in this great staple
of the southern farmer and the south
ern farmer himself. The question at
issue is squarely up to the cotton
grower. IF he stands the test, he has
the victory won for years to come !:
if, in this emergency, ne fails to meet
the test, it will be useless to under:
take TO continue the farmers organ
izations.
As we see it, it is the duty Of all
the citizens Of the south, including
the merchants and bankers, to stand
squarely up to the southern cotton
grower and help nim to meet this test
and win the victory. If they will do
so. and the farmers will stand by the
resolutions, which have been adopted
by their organizations, they can con-
troll the situation, but, just as surely
as the farmers continue to market
their cotton at the present price, just
so surely they admit defeat in this
great contest. We have been Of the
opinion that it was a mistake to put
the minimum price at fifteen cents
and we still believe it was a mistake
and that it would have been a great
deal better to have made the minimum
thirteen cents. as agreed upon by the
organization Of the Southern Cotton
association in this state, but through
their representatives all Of the cot
ton growing states having fixed thf
minimum at fifteen cents, they should
stand to the rack and meet this test
of the spectators.
