(To Be Continued.)

The following editorial expression
appeared in Fridays issue Of the New
York Journal of Commerce, apropos
the purported purchase of cotton lands
by English spinners. Not long ago
the fact was announced that a syndi-
cate acting for English cotton spinners
had purchased $4,000 acres of cotton
lands in the Mississippi delta with
view to raising the material for their
mills in Lancashire. Now comes a def
mite statement from Memphis that a
syndicate of Holland capitalists has
acquired 5000 acres in Bolivar county,
Mississippi, with options upon consid-
erable adjoining property. 1t Is said
to be confidently expected that now
that the way has been blazed there
will be a rapid acquisition Of similar
lands chiefly for cotton raising. In
the case OF the Dutch purchases, of
which 5000 acres are already under
cultivation, it is said that the land
will not be wholly devoted to cotton,
and live stock will be raised. This
may be the beginning of a movement
of much interest to the southern states.
1t Is generally acknowledged that their
agricultural possibilities are far from
being fairly developed, and the great
need is adequate capital and sufficient
labor of an Industrious kind. The ac-
QUESTION Of cotton lands with foreign
capital may be especially significant
European manufacturers have become
seriously disturbed over their depend
ence upon the American cotton sup
ply, but their efforts to stimulate pro-
duction elsewhere, chiefly in India and
parts Of Africa, are having slow re-
suits. 1t is well known to them that
our southern states have a decided ad-
vantage in cotton raising and that
their capacity is far from being taxed,
but the supply that2can be counted upon
is capricious. Crops vary somewhat
widely from year to year and little ef-
fort is made to adjust the supply to
the demand. At times there is a dis
position to curtail the supply for the
mere purpose of maintaining a high
price, on the ground that small crop
ana nlSn price are HlOTe pTOHldDle
to the planter than an abundant guam
tity at low price. If foreign proprie-
tors come in with a motive for i'm
proving cultivation, increasing yield
and economiZing cost, 1t will have q
stimulating effect upon native enter
prise and may make the industry
more steadily profitable and of far
more benefit to other industries both
at home and abroad. 1t Is much more
important that there should be steady
and plentiful supply of this material
of almost universal use than that there
should sometimes be large profit to
planters from the distress of great
manufacturing populations. Not only
is there need of Improvement in culti-
vation and in labor conditions, but
there Is a chance for progress in pre-
pairing cotton for the market and In
the methods of handling 1t in trans
portation. The emulation excited by
the invasion of foreign enterprise ought
to have a salutary effect upon the in
dustrial conditions of the south"

price In actual use, but they have an
actual value Of So per cent Of their
cost when new. This reduces the al
legged loss to $4,000. II this loss be
distributed over a period of five years
"a legitimate distribution, inasmuch
as the assumed loss covered that per-
iod-this makes a so-called loss Of
900 year. This leaves q so-called
loss of $4,000 a year to be distributed
among the 100000 and more children
in the schools. or about 42-3 cents
apiece.
Thus, at this slight additional ex-
pense Of 42-3 cents, each child in the
state would be supplied with new and
better books. Surely this Is gain and
not loss. For II Is a serious injustice
to a child-an injustice at once ply
sical, intellectual, and aesthetic-to put
into it's hands an old. defaced and fl
thy book in any study.
We have gone into these figures on
the assumption that the statement
that 80 per cent of the books have been
changed, is correct. The correctness
Of the statement we do not admit. Ex-
elusive Of copy books and drawing
books, which are destroyed by use,
supplementary English classics and
duplicates. there were So books on the
old list. OF this number 90 only were
changed, whereas 20 were re-adopted
Ten were entirely dropped from the
list. Owing to the extension Of the
high school course, 1t becomes neces-
sary to add nine new books to the list
for high school use. Let each man CAL
culate the percentage Of change for
himself.
Have No Apology.
The foregoing Is a statement Of the
essential facts Of the adoption, Of the
preliminary preparation Of the MEM
bers Of the board and Of the fair and
rational view to take Of the cost in
volved. The undersigned appointive
members have no apology to make
either for the result of the adoption
ed upon the task with only one pur-
pose-to further the best interest Of
the schools and of the children Of South
Carolina. They brought to bear upon
this task their best experience, the
unremitting toll Of months, and the
deepest interest and sincerity. They
believe that with due allowance for
the fallibility Of human judgment
they have succeeded To the test Of
use, to those who know books and the
needs of our schools, and to the sober
second thought of the fair minded
people of their state, they leave the
final verdict.

the time Bivens had bought it at an

such women. There was an eternal

his question in cynical tones.
Yes, don't they?"
'I know that ought to condemn this
appalling extravaganza, and I find my
self enjoying it."
Both were silent for long while and
then they began to talk in low tones OF
the life they had lived as boy and girl
in the old south, and forgot the flight
Of time.

1t has been claimed that the board
by its action wantonly DESTROYED prop
erty values estimated at 100000. This
sum is just a few thousand less than
the cost of all the school books bought
in South Carolina during the years
1906 1911. How preposterous this claim
is will appear from the following:
1t assumes that all these books, even
those bought five years ago. are still
in usable form in the hands OF the chill
dren and are now worth what they
cost when new. 1t assumes also that
If all the old books had been re-adopt-
ed, the children Of the state would not
have had to buy any new books during
the coming five years. 1t forgets that
each book now in the hands or the
child has not only paid it's price In
use, but Is by contract given an added
definite value, approximate 5O per
cent of its original cost.
The following analysis will show
that the apparent loss OF the state
would in reality be only about $4,000
a year for the five-year period, or only
about 4 2-3 cents per child, instead OF
the alleged loss Of 100000. AS 1t Is
claimed that the loss was entailed by
the assumed 80 per cent change, then
the entire value involved would be
upon this 80 per cent or upon $4OO,OOO
instead of 100000. 1t is, however.
generally estimated by teachers and
experienced book men that the average
life of a text book-especially in the
lower grades-is from one to three
years. On a liberal allowance then,
the books bought during the first three
years of the last adoption period are
not usable in class, though by the con-
tract they have been given an eX-
change money value. This reduces the
possible loss to the books bought dur
ing the last two years, or to two
fifths of 100000, that Is, 100000. Now
not only nave these books paid their
