Our Inactivity.

The business season of another
year has dawned in its fullness of
time upon our community, and if
our merchants, cotton factors and
others interested in the commercial
welfare of Aberdeen have turned a
wheel towards expanding the trade
radius or offering inducements for
new patrons and new business,
1t has escaped our attention, and
this pencil has a penchant for quiz
zing into matters of that character.
The last sixty days by all means
should have been fully occupied by
the business community in distrib-
uting posters, literature and adver-
tising matter for at least sixty miles
in every direction, inviting old and
new customers TO this market, and
offering assurances and inducements
that would bring cotton wagons
and buyers of goods from those
distances, and prevent some of
those under our very noses, as it
were. going to other markets. We
seem content to sit quietly and wait
for the trade that is in manner
so tied here that it can't get away
from US and then competing for its
division after it arrives. This is
not the history of the Aberdeen of
twenty years ago, when there was
lively campaigning and reaching
out for business that was rewarded
by an immense wagon trade, much
of which came across whole counties,
and our thoroughfares were crowded
with strange customers for days and
weeks without cessation. 1t may
/ he considered treason to use such
plain language in public print, but
/ 1t is a matter of common knowledge
and unreserved comment that our
city lost several thousand dollars of
its legitimate trade last year by its
policy of inaction and lethargy
and failure to put forth the effort
that is recognized the world over
as necessary to retention and expan-
sion of trade.
1t is true we have a fine business
league, but that organization was
formed more for the purpose of Sc
curing industrial plants than other
wise, and its success has been fairly
satisfactory in that line, though its
attention should have been turned
to any avenue that promised the
enhancement of the city's business
in all respects.
We cannot be justified in re
naming inactive and then express
dissatisfaction at trade not coming
our way when it has not been invi-
ted. The season happens to be about
three weeks late, thus fortunately
affording yet a skimp of time for
action. Win it be improved2

To Ballot CustOdians.

The primary election law provides
for assessments against candidates
to pay for going to the court house
for the ballot boxes and returning
the boxes to the circuit clerk. " etc,
besides other specified expenses. In
arranging for holding the recent
primaries the county executive com
mittee had assurances that the
boxes would be carried ont and re-
turned without expense, and with
that understanding an assessment
for that purpose was not made I'm
the final preparation of the ticket,
however, it was found that several
more candidates registered for places
than were calculated upon when the
assessments were levied, which pro-
duced a small overplus Of revenue
that is now i'm bank to the cred
it Of the committee, and this amount
will be expended by payment Of
one dollar in each case to the cleo
ton officer who came to Aberdeen
for the ballot box Of his precinct
and returned the box after the cleo
ton, until theamount is exhausted.
The primary election law does not
contemplate the payment Of any
other election officer, no funds were
levied and collected and no money
is in hand for any others, and no
other officers need apply.

Mr.. John r. Baker, one of the
most enthusiastic growers of alfalfa
in our county, reports the visitation
of a destructive sarmy worm which
has literally eaten his thirty acres
and destroyed every vestige of the
plant, and he says that its raw
ages are common throughout the
county. The name of this pest is
not known. but it is probably the
common grass worm, that by the
dry hot weather which has tougher
ed the grass and other plants upon
which it subsists, has been driven
to the more tender and succulant
alfalfa. Wherever it appears its
work of destruction is complete, and
the loss in this county will run up
into thousands of dollars.
