On the twelfth of February will be

be offered as first prize; The Peoples

Dear Sir and Member:-
In few weeks now and the Cen
s"s Enumerators will be gathering 9
data for the 1910 or 18th Annual Cen
sus. 1t is highly Important that the
date given these enumerators shall be
as accurate as man S Judgement cs n
be. There is mistaken idea prevail
ent among farmers that these enumer-
ations have something to do with
the taxation of property. This is
entirely a mistaken idea. The census
figures have absolutely nothing to do
with taxation. 1t is hoped, therefore,
that more correct idea and estimate
OF the acreage and yield of crops
shall this time be more accurate than
ever before.
The writer has been in communica-
ton with men who have been very
much interested in the Improvement
of Minnesota,s conditions. and is in
hopes that the members of our AS.
sociation will make an extra effort
to interest their neighbors in the Civ.
ing of this data with unlimited ac
curacy.
] hope, therefore, that you will en-
deavor to see as many of your neigh
bors as you can and explain the situa
tion to them, urging them at the same
time, TO assist in the improvement o1
Minnesota's conditions in this meagel
way.
Trusting you will do this to the best
of your ability, / am

Tho Livest Question.-The Union
Times has something to say of the
eternal liquor question which will not
down, and permit attention to be given
to other more important matters ac-
cording to the dictum Of certain peo-
pie in South Carolina. 1t is very much
in their way, and they never fail to try
to put it out of the way, but they have
not succeeded, and they are not going
to succeed. They are not fOoling any
one by their pretensions. The Times
says:
1.-The candidates in this years state
campaign, most of them, seem to fight
shy of the liquor question. AS mat
ter of fact that Is the livest question
before the people Of South Carolina
today. 1t is not, perhaps, thing to
be rejoicing over, but we must take
politics, as we do people as we find 1t.
Out of the conditions at hand we must
work our problems. If all our people
were enlightened; If there was little OF
ignorance and of baseness in the land,
there would be no need to have any
prohibitory law. But as it is there is
no end of need for it. The constant
and insistent cry of those opposed to
prohibition as applied to the whisky
traffic raise no cry against our other
laws, every one of which is prohibito-
ry. Every law is prohibitory. In its
very nature it restricts. If it Is law 1t
is a restriction, a rule, regulation
prescribing penalties for IFS violation.
The two basic principles of human
conduct as outlined in the Christian
religion are service and restriction.
The Christian life is a restricted life.
In that sense, and only in that sense,
is it q narrow life. And in that parti-/
cular II is i'm line with nature anu
with human experience. .'-Greenwood

dieting the price of cotton that the
newspaper which does not recognize
the fact is very foolish. The Enquirer
does not seek the reputation of a
prophet with reference tO cotton mar
ket fluctuations. because it recognizes
that although such reputation might,
by favorable chances, he temporarily
established. it would sooner or later
he shattered. Had we not believed the
situation we outlined is correct, we
would not have outlined it, and be-
cause we believe il is correct is not the
sole reason we printed il. We We're
more moved by the fact that it has
been the game of the spinners for
some years past to buy up future cot
ton in the summer, sometimes at a
higher price and sometimes at a low
cr price: but always for the purpose Of
bearing the market in the early part
of the season, and we were in hopes
that a statement of the situation as
we see it might induce some people,
who are now being tempted to sell to
stop and consider. When we wrote
the paragraph referred to four days
ago, July cotton was quoted at 15.47.
Yesterday July reached 16 cents and
closed at 1893. But we are not bank
ing altogether on the doings of the
gamblers. We know that the stopping
of so many spindles is due as much to
the present cotton famine as it is to
the alleged low price of cotton goods.
and we believe that notwithstanding
the stoppage of all these spindles.
there are still enough spindles here and
abroad to take up all of the remainder
of the present crop at 16 cents, if the
holders will only continue to hold un-
til the price comes. But the main
thing is that the growing crop is
short, and the growers should not sell
now at such prices as are being mark
ed up for future delivery, unless they
are prepared to get themselves in a
still more uncomfortable snap than
that OF last year. OF course, it is not
to be denied that there is something
i'm the suggestion of the State about
the general security market. The fl
nancial world is not yet recOnciled to
the high price the south has been get
ting for its cotton for some years
past, and may continue on with the
desperate measures it has been resort
ing to with the purpose of bringing
about n change; but nevertheless the
south is in a better position to help
herself than she has ever been in and
is not to be feeced as easily as here

"Who Knows About Cotton 2"

With profound respect for The York
vile E,nquirer's Judgment we dare
suggest that a newspaper speaking
with such SanguineneSS as is display
ed IN the following paragraph about
cotton prices takes its life in its
hands" so to say:
The most sanguine bears are not
estimating the possible yield of this
years cotton crop at more than 13.
OOO. 900, and everybody is agreed that
it will take at least 15.O00,0OO bales Ia
supply the demand. This curtailment
business on the part of the conSum-
erS has been going on for several years
now, ever since 1907 at least, and the
old clothes reserve even has about
played out. The great mass of con-
SumerS is in rags, So To speak. There
has got to he some buying soon and
there is going to he a still further ad-
vance in the price of cotton goods. AS
we see it, the outlook for cotton was
never So favorable, and we believe that
producers of raw cotton will have the
refusal of l6 cents pound before they
are compelled Ia take l24 cents"
With most dSCouraging crop
prospect in South Carolina and the
eastern part of the cotton belt, the
prospect for a big crop has not dis
appeared in Texas and oklahoma
and there has probably been an in
crease i'm acreage everywhere. True

WITHIN THE TOWN.

This years crop of frying" chick
ems appears to have been failure.
- Mr.. Bun Bridges of Mooresville, N.
c., is in YOrkville seeking To interest
business men of the town and the COM
munity surrounding i'm the establish
ment of a creamery at this place. The
proposition is to organize joint stock
company with a capital of about $4,000,
which Mr.. Bridges says will he entire
" sufficient. The idea is To furnish a
market at a fair price for all the milk
that can be furnished from n cOnsid-
cradle area around the town. The
skim milk will go back To the farmers
at price to be fed to hogs. The cream
and butter will be put on the market.
The proposition includes several invit-
ing features. In the first place there
will he a staple market for milk and
butter, which does not exist now. This
will facilitate the profitable keeping OF
cows for their milk and butter alone.
Cows that yield a profit on milk and
butter, yield as great or greater profit
from manure That means improved
lands. A steady and reliable supply Of
butter and cream at fair commercial
price means great benefit To the COM
munity so fortunate as to have it. A
well managed creamery is bound to
pay dividends to the stockholders, and
altogether it would be difficult to con-
ceive of all enterprise that would
promise more for all concerned. The
Gaffney people have subscribed the
stock necessary for the establishment
Of a creamery and several other towns
have the proposition under COnsidera-
tiOn.
