BOYS CORN CLUB MEETS.

Superintendent Clayton, in
this issue publishes a notice that
the Boys Corn Club and Girls
Domestic Science Club, will
meet at the court house on Fri
day 22nd, inst.
This will be the second exhi-
bition made by the young people
of the county and the occasion
will prove a valuable object les
son to all who attend.
The contests in the Boys Corn
Club will be of especial value to
all interested in the raising of
corn, and what farmer does not
seek to improve his crops? Last
year several boys averaged more
than 70 bushels to the acre and
the quality OF the corn was
excellent. While conditions have
not been favorable during the
year for heavy yield, yet the
boys will make a good showing
both as to yield and quality.
Of course it is not necessary to
say that the girls will do well.
The exhibition of their handi-
work will convince every one
that the Lee County girl makes
a most excellent house-keeper
and one of the best wives in the
world. This domestic science
exhibition should be inspected
by every old bachelor in the
county and we hope that this
class may attend in a body.

DO HIGH PRICES MAKE HARD
TIMES /?

During the past two years
there has been a very wide
spread complaint that, times
were hard" If this be true,
the question can we'll be asked,
do high prices make hard times?
In this section prices of all
commodities except cotton, rails
ed by the farmer have been I'M
usually high, and cotton has
averaged a good price.
Mules from $3.50 to $3.50, corn
has been from rs cents to $1.00
per bushel, pork from 12A to Is
cents per pound, hams Is cents,
hay SIS to $40 per ton, beef 123
cents per pound, chickens and
turkeys from Is to Is cents per
pound, eggs Is to 80 cents per
dozen, sweet and Irish potatoes
from Is cents to 81. 90 per bushel,
butter from 20 to 80 cents per
pound. and so on through the
list of commodities.
With such prices prevailing
there certainly should not be,
and cannot be, hard times with
the man who produces these
articles. Only the consumer who
buys can feel the burden Of such
high prices. In this section we
will always hear this cry of hard
times until the necessaries Of
life are produced on the farm
where they are consumed. This
will continue to be the cry II
cotton should go to $l.0O per
pound.

AS reported to the State
Auditors Office from the various
counties the number of pension
ers has very materially increas-
ed. County Boards. at the last
meetings to examine applica-
tons, have added very largely
to the list and as the Legislature
appropriates a specific sum to be
divided among the pensioners,
the amount to each will be de-
creased in the next distribution.
This will apply to pensioners not
divided in classes with fixed

Mayor Tom Johnson of Cleve-
land, Ohio, has finally won out
in his fight for a three cent
street car fare for the people of
his home town. Mayor Johnson
has continued the fight for the
past eight years and the last
franchise granted the Street
Railway Co.. of his city secured
from the Railway Co. an agree
ment to maintain the three cent
rate for straight fares and a four
cent rate for transfers.
The city also reserves the
ri,rht to purchase the property OF
the Street Railway Company at
any time.
City franchises have hereto
fore been the prey OF grafters
and local politicians and the
PEOPLE are made frequently to
suffer by representatives who
dispose Of valuable franchises
without any return whatever to
the people. Mayor Johnson has
made a good fight and his ex-
amples should be worth some-
thing to the officials of Other
cities.
