for market, it must not be forgotten
that the capital, labor and equipage
required is idle during considerable
portion of the meantime when ordinary
business economy requires that it
should be productive. The idea of de-
voting Il plantation to a single crop is
absurd.
On the other hand it follows that the
farmer who so pitches his crop as to
economic all the time that can be
made profitably available during the
year. must necessarily reduce his cot
ton acreage below what it would be il
his purpose is to make as much cotton
as possible. This is the hog and hon.
iny idea in a nutshell, and it is the
policy that has been followed not only
by those who have been most success
full in the past; but by those who will
be most successful in the future. II
involves a principle that is applicable
to every other line of business, the
same as to farming.
1t seems to US that to this time,
the tendency Of the universal holding
idea has been to increase rather than
decrease cotton production. We would
like to think of it otherwise; but our
observation does not so permit us. II
is a fact that thousands have stood
by their obligations to curtail acreage
and hold cotton but at the same time
it is a fact that other thousands have
increased their acreage in the hope that
the general holding would bring better
prices and have sold whenever they
thought their own personal interest
would be best subserved, regardless OF
obligations to others. The general ef-
feet has been prejudicial to diversity
and in the direction of an increased
yield
The most common argument adVanc-
ed by the average cotton producer
against the hog and hominy policy OF
diversification of crops Is that the 9TH
er fellow will not do it." That Is cor
rect. The other fellow will not do It,
And right there is the point. In fall
ing to do it the other fellow pays the
penalty. The man who does do II
reapS the reward reBaruleSS VI VIVA
the other fellow does. For, while 1t
is true that it is not practicable to
raise an all cotton crop at fifteen cents
a pound, it is practicable to profitably
raise cotton purely as a surplus at
much less figure.
If the entire south would raise cot
ton only as a surplus, the price would
speedily go to fifteen cents and stay
there. While the pursuance Of this
policy by individuals will not bring
about the same result, those indtvid-
uals would be assured of sound bus
mess progress.
We would not be understood as in
any way trying to minimize the i'm
portance of united effort. MUCH good
work has been accomplished by the
Southern Cotton association and the
Farmers Union, and there is much
more good work to be done by both
particularly the latter. But neither
organization has ever sought to teach
that the whole problem lay in reducing
the acreage or holding cotton off the
market. The Farmers Union, espe-
cially holds that hog and hominy-di-
sifcation-affords the master key to
the situation, and every man who tries
this. whether as a member Of one or
both of the organizations. or as an in
dividual. will certainly meet with ul-
innate success.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

The Yorkville Camp Woodmen OF
the World had their annual supper al
Louis Roth's restaurant last night
They had great time.
The regular meeting of the Farm
ers' Union will be held In YorkYille
next Thursday, December 3. Secretary
Black has secured the upstairs Of the
Herndon building for the purpose.
= Thanksgiving was observed yester;-
day with union service at the Baptist
church, The service was conducted by
Reys. e. E. Gillespie, l, q. Murray and
George Ratchford. A thank Offering
was made for the benefit OF the or
phanages of the various denominations.
The service was very much enjoyed by
those present.
About forty relatives and close
friends of the young people gathered
at the residence Of Mr.. Luther G.
Thompson last Wednesday afternoon
to witness the marriage Of his sister
Miss Ella Jane to Mr.. Charles r. Cald-
well. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. ]. S. Grier of Sharon. Although
the invitation list was small, there
were quite number Of beautiful pres
ents. Shortly after the marriage, Mr.
and Mrs. Caldwell drove through the
country to Bowling Green, which PLACE
they will make their future home.
There was quite a full and repre-
sentative meeting in the court house
last Tuesday night in response to May
or Hart's call in behalf Of the Episco-
pal orphanage proposition. Mr. j. S.
Brice was called to the chair and af-
ter Mayor Hart stated the object Of
the meeting to raise funds necessary
to secure the location Of the Episcopal
orphanage in Yorkville, there were
short addresses by Revs. E. E. Giles
pie and l. G.. Murray setting forth their
conceptions of the moral benefits to be
derived to the community from such an
institution. The whole subject was
quite favorably considered by all pres
ent and there were evidences that lib
eral subscriptions would be forthcom-
ing. 1t was decided however, TO leave
the matter of raising funds to the work
of a committee, which was appointed
as follows: Mayor John r. Hart,

THE MARCH OF COMPANY G..

IF this building catches afire to-
night boys, don't any Of yop wake me
up,"
That was what one OF the members
of company G, from CornWell, said as
he went to bed with the others in the
armory Of company l., last Monday
night at about II o'clock, after the all
day hike" from home, and although
it vas a most capital joke, there was
not much laughing about it until late
the next day. Most of the men felt
like they would like to have the same
instructions given out for themselves;
but they were too tired to say me
too"
II was a splendid march for Yqlun=
teer soldiers The company, thirty
ninu stiong, Including three officers,
LETT it's armory at CoFnwell at $40
O'clock Monday morning, and halted
before the armoly Of company l., In
distance is thirty one miles, and thir-
ty-one miles in thirteen hours and
twenty minutes is a hike" to be proud
Of One of the officers said that it
beats any previous volunteer record Of
which he has any knowledge, by just
one mile.
The march was from Cornwell up the
Columbia road to Chester, and from
Chester by way of the Brattonsvillp
road to Yorkville. There was Y stop
of an hour at noon for dinner and an
other stop at 8, OF two hours for supper.
There were four other stops of fifteen
minutes to rest making the actual
marching time a little oyer three and
one-third miles an hour.
After spending the night in the ar
mory, the company got out at about I
o'clock Tuesday morning, marched to
the club house at the range, got break
fast at 8 o'clock, and went 10 work at
target practice shortly afterward, put
ting In quite a good days work. That
night the men amused themselves In
various ways, quite a number partici-
pating in the old fashioned square
dances, which all Of them admit would
have been more enjoyable if they had
had ladies' for partners. Wednesday
morning was devoted to more prac-
tice and Wednesday afternoon the
company marched back to Yorkville,
and took the train on their return to
Chester in accordance with the Origi-
nal programme.

Home Supplies.

II is an old. old subject, but the doc
trine of home supplies and cotton as
surplus, is just az S0und now as II
has ever been. There IL not much tin
sci and glitter about the hog and
hominy rule: but the records OF those
who have tried it furnish indisputable
evidence of its complete success.
There has been effort after effort to
carry through uRiwersal holding move
ments for the purpose of raising the
price of cotton TO q fair Level, and sew
eral Of these efforts have been attended
with a great deal of success; but Zone
of them have been as succesSfW as
they should have been for very mani
fest reasons. One sufficient reason is
that ahere has never been a holding
movement that held.
We shall not undertake to argue that
the idea Of holding cottos is impracti-
cable. We believe IL is practicable; but
we do not believe it IS the best way to
attain the end sought. a continued high
price Of cotton and a big currency bal
ance for the south. The best way to
accomplish that end is by what is COM
monty known as the hog and hominy
route
While it is an unusual price. fifteen
cents, for instance, is not too high for
cotton. Assuming a whole plantation
devoted 10 cotton and labor and every
other commodities needed to produce
the crop. paid for in money, we do not
believe things could possibly be man
AGED so as to enable the Owner or
manager to break even at fifteen cents
for his COTTON. But it Is not to be
contended that this is fair business
test. Among other things, while it is
admitted that a whole year is required
in the raising Of n crop Of cotton ready

Gently, says the Charlotte Observer,

all the developments have been car
ried on under the personal supeT-
ion of Mr.. w. S. Lee, Jr., chief epgf-
neer. The Rocky Creek development,
which is the latest undertaken by the
Southern Powsr COMPANY, lacks but
capacity Of 100000 horse power, but
only $4,000 will be offered for sale, the
remainder being reserved for emer-
gencies OF this $4,000 which will be
placed upon the market, $4,000 Is con-
tracted far now and the demand CON-
tinues. The Ninety-Nine Islands sta
tlon, upon which some work has al
ready been done, will have capacity
lof about $4,000 horse power, and this
will give the Southern Power compa'
ny ultimately ability to furnish no.
900 horse power OF hYdro-electrical
energy. This will be the fourth larg-
est station tn operation when 1t is
completed, The Southern Power
company has on It's list Of customers
in Piedmont Carolina 10 mills, the
larger part Of them cotton mills, and
about 80 per cent of them are now
being furnished with power. This is
an indication of the rapidity which is
marking the substitution of electrical
for steam power in the manufactur-
ing plants Of this section.
