Timely Admonition.

The demand for money is unusually
great, and it is probable that the next
quaterly statement of the banks of the
county will show a very marked in
crease in loans. The question natur-
ally arises, How will these increased
obligations be met next fall? What
assurance have farmers that cotton,
their chief money crop, will command
the high price then that it is bringing
now, at the time these obligations are
made? Absolutely none. Unfortunate
ly, speculation has more to do with
the price of the staple than the law of
supply and demand. Suppose-and
this is not an unreasonable suppose
tion-speculators should make q deter
mined effort to depress the price of
cotton at the time of its enforced sale
next fall by the maturity ofthe obliga-
tons now being made? The newt
able result}would be disaster and bank
ruptcyf for the South.
The plans that have been made for
1910 resolve the farmer into two dis
tinct classes: First, there are those
who, planning upon an extravagant
scale, will plant the major portion of
their farms in cotton, to the neglect of
focd crops. These will strengthen
the hands of their worst enemy, the
cotton gamblers, and are contributing
to their own downfall. Second, and
we fear the minority, are those who
have planned economically y, borrowed
no more than is absolutely necessary,
and will make cotton q secondary crop,
devoting their best land and best eff
forts to producing the farm necessities
at home. Those who belong to the lat
ter class may not only be saved grea1
embarrassment next fall, but will
have well-flled barns and cribs with
which to enter the year that is to
follow,
Let the reader ask himself this
question: To which class do I belong?
If it is not already t%oolate, say:'tAs for
me and my house we will be inderend-
ent livers at home, and not helpless
victims of the spectators next fall"

Who Caused His Death?

Spartanburg has rather a unique case
to deal with. Several months ago a
policeman shot a negro twice while at
tempting TO make an arrest, and the
wounded man vas carried to a hospita!
for treatment. Last week an opera
lion was performed upon the negro
and he died soon after being removed
from the operating table. The ques-
ton has arisen as to the real cause of
che death, the pistol wound OF the
surgeons knife. The jury of inquest
returned a verdict to this effect: "The
deceased came to his death from causes
unknown to the jury"

Must Go After It

Luck is a superstitious element
which enters into the profession of
every man, butt it is not the element
which wins success. In this day of
active effort and competition a man
must work for what he gets. ANY
man of average intelligence can
succeed if he properly applies him
self and observes the well regulated
rules of business. -Orangeburg Sun.

Retail merchants are organizing for
mutual protection in other towns in the
state, and we see no reason why Edge
fields merchants could not derive last
ing benefit from an organization. The
chief benefit comes, we believe, from
''blacklisting" the dead-beats, those
who make bills without intending ever
to pay them. Edgefield, like all other
towns, is doubtless afflicted with some
of this class, whose areer would be
cut short by an organization as above
suggested.

WANT NEW LIGHT LAW.

Residents of New Jersey are In one
accord in their insistance that an
equitable light law shall be placed
among the statutes of the State. This
remarkable demonstration is due to
the efforts of the New Jersey Automo-
bile and Motor Club, which club orig
inally demanded that the law shall
require lights upon all horse drawn
vehicles after dark.
No adequate penalty supports the
present weak law on this important
subject and there is very little effort
to enforce the present law Automo-
bilists are required to carry snbstan-
front and rear lamps and this regula-
ton is never evaded by motorists.
Too many horse-drawn vehicles on
country roads do not carry lights aud
in order to properly protect the auto
mobile owner as we'll as the horse
drawn vehicles strict enforcement
of the light law is necessary. Dan
gers on unlighted rural highways
should be eliminated and the club
predicts the passage of an equitable
light law during the coming session of
the Legislature.

lieve that each county should receive a
share of game proportionate with the
license tees extracted.
