A TRIP TO McCOLL
A Pleasant Day at Well McCoIi's :
Other Notes.

In responce to a special Invita-
ion last Wednesday ! boarded the
Cost Line train and in a few min
utes found myself circulating
among the clever hospitable citiz-
ems of McColl. l was met at the
depot by Marion McColl and in a
short time was driven to his faith
er's home Mr. Wellington McColl
where | met Rev Leonard, the
Methodist pastor at McColl who
also spent the day at this happy
comfortable home.
l noticed good stand of cotton
and farm work we'll advanced. Mr.
McColl lives l mile east of the town
and has Il beautiful farm and love-
ly place. | regretted very much to
find his son Dan nj there confined
to his bed under treatment of
DIR Hamer, Dan is on a visit from
New berne N G where he has a
lucrative position. Although sick it
was a great pleasure to be with him
and his cultured wife.
just below the Mc(Ioll home
stead in Bcaverdam creek is a fish
trap and at dinner we had a super
abundance Of Dream and pearch,
besides many other good things,
that always go with a Scotch din
ner.
Mr. McColl is engaged in truck
ing and has several acres in melons
and canteloupes, besides quite a
lot of vegetables and a Strawberry
patch from which he has already
sold more than fifty dollal S
worth of berries.
Late in the afternoon / returned
to McColl where l met several
friends. The game of base ball be-
tween the McColl and WEIGH Ncdk
teams took place that afternoon
resulting in a score of 10 to IL in
favor of ~McColl.
The passenger and ticket depot
with convenient offices is nearing
completion and will be quite O
benefit to the public. McColl has
quite n number of beautiful horses
and several automobiles, a lot of
lovely young women and as clever
citizenship as can be found any
where.
The day was most pleasantly spent
SO much SO that it will be repeated
before a great while. Glad to meet
my yonng friends McColl and Nc
Laurin who occupy the I b Gibson
store building and are doing quite
a nice mercatile business at that
popular stand. Rev G A Jones
pastor Of Bennettsville baptist
Church spent that day in McColl
with Rev freeman.
Such occasional pleasant outings
are highly enjoyable and no one
appreciated them more than.

ito that one is reluctant to think
about. July 1, however is more

not cross the bridge until the mill
companies have come to it, but it
is common senses dictate to every
person whose affairs would be re-
motely or nearly affected by par
alysis in this great industry to
take note of the fact that the re-
solve of the mill operators means
that they perceive no sign Of early
Improvement and that they fear to
buy cotton and weave cloth on the
theory that the unexpected will
happen. Looking squarely ut this
it is the part Of the sane farmer
to cut down his acreage in cotton,
the appeal addressed indirectly to
him by the spinners in Spartan
burg is a thousand times more
eloquent than any that Harvie
Jordan or f. ID Smith has deliver
ed and if he faila to heed it the
consequences must be on his own
head.
South Carolina mills consume
more than half the cotton that
South carolina produces: the
Southern mills consume nearly as
many bales in the aggregate as do
the mills in the North and the
latter arc stopping machinery to
a greater extent than are the for
mer. 1t may be answered that the
mills wish to bear" the price of
cotton it may be said that the
mills are "blufing"- we think
that such suggestions would be
prcposterous- but of that cotton
growers must judge for themselves
they know as much about it as we
do. At any rate the growers have
all to gain and nothing 10 lose by
turning more Of their energy to
producing foodstuffs at the expense
of the cotton crop, for it has at
least been fully and repeatedly
demonstrated that a small produc-
ton of cotton does not mean a loss
to the South when the total gcner-
al production Of all Southern crops
has been brought to the usual an
nual average by increases in the
production Of grains. grasses,

SOME AUTOCRATIc POWER.

President Roosevelt makes some as
founding declarations in his latest APP
peal to congress to place the control of
the business of the country in the hands
of the executive. 1t is a novel and
startling theory of the president of the
United States that the most common
forms of organized business in this
country must bear the burden of proof
'to show that they have right to ex-
ist.' 1t is even more startling to be
told by the president that no judicial
tribunal in the United States is capable
of passing Judgment upon these bust
ness organizations, and that, therefore,
the executive must be given this duty.
Coming from any president other than
Roosevelt, this declaration would be
considered a dangerous reaching-out for
more power, were the assertion made
that control over the business of the
country, by means of the right to per-
nit or prohibit combinations should be
lodged with the executive. But the
country is expected to cheerfully ac-
ccpt this sort of thing from him. His
craftsmanship, however, will not be
considered by many of the senators and
representatives. He is simply a reck-
less dictator.-St. Joe Observer.

TIME FOR A CONFERENCE.

The New York Herald declares it is
high time the republican members of
the United States senate held confer
ence to determine:
1. Whether Theodore Roosevelt is
the congress Of the United States as
we'll as the president of the United
States.
2. Whether Theodore Roosevelt is
the supreme court Of the United States
as we'll as the president of the United
States.
3. Whether Theodore Roosevelt is
the constitution of the United States,
extending by his own vigor over all
matters of law, administration and gov
eminent, and subject only to such
restraints as he himself sees fit to i'm
pose.
Mr.. Roosevelts conduct in the final
year of his administration is without
parallel in the history of the presidency

dictatorial course, then formally en-
