He added that the demand for the
products of the soil is greater because
of the growing population than the
supply is and we must enlarge our
acreage and the plain way seemed by
reclamation through application OF
water to the land heretofore deserts
by draining lands which have hereto
fore been swamp.
Those lands when brought into pro-
ductivity, would yield, he said, far
more than lands already under ma
tural tillage.
"Then we have great deal of val
liable coal land owned by the govern
ment," he continued. 1--WE have
great many water power sites, the
water power of which will furnish
immense power for use by electrical
appliances. Then there are millions
of acres of phosphate to be used in
fertilization of the soil. Under exist
ing laws those lands are likely to be
parted with merely under homestead
settlement. They are Of such pecul-
lar value that it seems wiser that the
government should reserve some con-
troll over water power sites and coal
lands and phosphates so that they
may not come into the hands OF one
controlling corporation but may be
retained blythe governin with
power to restrict prices at which coal,
Or at least at which power is sold to

Richmond, Va, Nov. 10.-"During
my sixty days of travel there has been
a moment or two of deliberation and

ing what is the duty of an executive
to recommend to an incoming con-
gress in respect to future legislation
and when I think Of the number OF
things congress ought to do, I am
staggered lest it may not find time to
do them"
In the final speech Of his $4,000
mile trip through the west and south
before an immense audience this af-
ternoon, President Taft thus prefac-
ed q preliminary statement of some
of the recommendations his first an
nual message to congress would con-
tain.

servation of our resources and recla-

dent. 1--WE have reached time now
where q great many people in the
west are counting on an immediate
supply OF water for the land upon
which they have settled, which is not
forth coming because the money ap-
piled to the reclamation fund does

SUMNER SCHOOL At WOFFORD.
A Suggestion to the County SuDefi
dent of Education.
Editor COUNTY RECORD

Editor COUNTY RECORD
The people in Spartanburg coun-
ty seem to be getting busy in edu-
cational matters. What is the
reason every county in the State
cannot do something OF the same
kind? There is 10 be a summer
school for teachers at Wofford COL
lege beginning in June. 1t would
be hard to estimate the benefit the
children of the State would receive
if every teacher should attend this
school. Yet it is probable that a
very small proportion of them will
do so. Most of them want to SO
but are prevented from doing so by
the expense involved.
1t is of the highest Importance
that teachers keep up with the
times. In order to do this, they
must mix with other teachers, get
new ideas and learn what the best
thinkers of the profession are doing.
1t was to meet this need that the
school at Wofford was gotten up. But
how is it to help if the teachers
cannot attend:
In Spartanburg county the prob
lem was solved in this way: The
superintendent of education called a
meeting of the trustees. 10 those
he made the suggestion that
they pay the tuition of their
teachers at Wofford. The trus.
tees rose to the occasion and
agreed to pay the tuition of the
teachers of the county VIII o
attended the summer schoo
and took the examination at the
close. The superintendent and
trustees deserve great credit for their
effort to better the condition of the
schools. Other counties may have
taken similar action, but why cannot
every county do it? Let the super.
intendent and trustees answer.

100000 bales of cotton. North
Carolina has $50 mills, including
those devoted to cotton, woolen, silk
and knitting, but their total capital

A NOTE OF WARNING
TO FARMERS.
DON'T MAKE CONTRACTS TO Sell COT
TON TO SPECTATORS FOR FUTURE
DELIVERY.
Editor County Record:

Is it better for the farmers to en-
gage their cotton for 10 cents to be
delivered in October? Or is it better
for them to refuse to engage and risk
THEN chances of getting higher
prices? There are some merchants
and cotton buyers who are trying to
buy cotton now, for October dellve-
rv. Let's see now if We can afford to
bite at their bait.
If we sell ont our cotton at lOc
for future delivery that means less
than 1Oc for the crops of cotton, be-
cause they know how many bales
they have, and they will offer less
than 10c, and the man who sold on
contract for 10c begins to smile and
say to Others, YOU would better have
done as did. sold my cotton last
spring for 10c.
What does 1t cost to make cotton:
There was time that 10c was fair
price for cotton, but with the ad-
vance in the cost of labor and every
thing else, 10c IS very small price.
Tt often costs the farmer more than
that to produce il. What is best for
the farmer? Brother farmers, beware
of the pretended friend of the farmer
who is anxious to buy your cotton at
lOc. Shun him as you would an
adder. He is nothing more nor less
than the tool in the hands of the
speculator to hammer, and keep
hammered down, the price of cotton.
l do hope that there is not farmer
in South Carolina who is thought
less enough to engage or sell his
cotton for 1oc. Why are those pre-
tended friends wanting to buy cot.
ton at 10c:: Simply because they ex-
pect it to be worth more than l0c,
and if they can engage enough to
run their mills for a few months,
then they can hold the prices down.
Now their argument is that last sea-
son there was no cotton sold or en-
gagged and We had the "bummest'
prices we have had in several years.
But, farmers, be not deceived by
their smooth-tongued flattery. One
great cause of the low price of cot
ton last season was that the farmers
had engaged cotton in previous years
and given the spinner and speculAtor
the advantage. The true cause of
cotton selling at the preseat low
prices is due to this very custom of
engaging cotton. When the cotton
association was putting forth every
effort to try to increase the price of
cotton, then this evil of engaging
cotton came into existence. Farmers,
do not engage your cotton at any
price. Let the farmers all come to-
gether and work for the up'building
of their interest: which is of more
Importance to the world than all
other trades or professions. Come,
brother farmers, let us cooperate
and work for our interest. We must
come together and stick or We shall
be stuck. l think We have been
stuck long enough: lit is time for us
to stick the other fellow some now.
If we engage our cotton We are fur
nishing the other fellow the dagger
to stick us with. Don't engage cotton
at any price.
