 FOR LAFAYETTE
During Current Year Over S4O,00O Spent on System-Heflin
 To Speak

Lafayette, November 0-(SpeciaD.-La fayette's new light and power plant has just been turned over to the town for trial. This town has, without exception, the best light and power plant of It's own that any city of it's size can boast. During the current year something be- tween $4O.00O and $50.000 has been spent alone on the system, together with a complete waterworks and sewerage sys- tenn. The sewerage system has not been finished, but is now rapidly nearing com pletion.
 The first of the year found the city ousily engaged in laying magnificent side walks throughout the business and resi- dence section of the town and immedi- ateiy following that work the city fathers decided the town pride could not be sat- isfed without the comforts and protec- ton incident to the other improvements above noted.'

How TO Get a Fair Price for Cotton

HOS ~ OSt q OH iASS AoA
Present prospects are that there
will be big cotton crop this year.
This big crop. if it comes. will be due
entirely to the work of the farmers
of the South. 1t is going to be worth
big lot of money, too, and will bring
handsome profits to somebody.
1t s,of course, unreasonable to ex-
pect cotton to bring as much per
pound when there is large crop as
when there is small one; but it is
even more unreasonable for prices to
be hammered down when good crop
is made so that large crop may ac-
tually bring less money than a small
one. This has happened before now,
and it will happen again unless the
farmers take steps to prevent 1t. The
men who buy cotton are going to DO
all they can to force the price as low
as possible. What are the farmers
going to do about it?
This inquiry is likely to be met by
another: What can they do about it?
And often this question will be ask
ed so as to imply that they can DO
nothing.
This we do not believe. There are
several things the individual farmer
can do. and others which farmers as
class can do.
Cd The individual can, first of all,
make provision right now for enough
to feed his live stock, so that he will
not have to sell cotton and buy feed.
He still has time to make sure of
this; but he must act at once.
(2) He can, if he will start, have
hogs enough to kill so that ne will
not have to sell cotton and buy meat.
60 He can keep the garden going
and raise his own vegetables and
maybe a surplus.
(4 He can take care of the poul-
try and the COWS and make them g.
source of income.
There are other things he can do to
makehimself independence hiscotton
crop;and every man who is able tohold
his cotton and market as he chooses
can help to insure profitable prices
for the crop, while every man who
must sell is going to help depress the
price.
Acting together, farmers can
agree upon a plan of marketing and
keep the whole crop from being
farced on the market at once. They
can make arrangements with their
local bankers for loans, if they need
ready money in the fall. In many
cases the farmers themselves can f.
nance the cotton crop of their neigh.
borhood by helping out with short
time loans, secured by the cotton
crop, those who would otherwise
have to sell at once. They can keep
negro tenants from rushing the
whole crop on the market as soon as
made. and this they must do if they
would keep up prices. Every neigh
borhood which handles its crop in a
business-like way will help to main
tain prices and will help to bring
nearer the much-dreamed-of day of
scientific marketing. Ralelgh (N u
