Using Your Bank.

In dealing with firms or indi viduals
at a distance the best reference o
can have is the bank where you do bust
ness. Most big business Offices have
the bank directory, and, as our bank Ia
listed therein, we frequently receive
communications from out OF town con-
tanning requests for information CON
corning some firm or individual in
Greenwood or vicinity. We are always
glad to act as a reference in this way.
II you are fiusncially responsible and
have been fair and honest in your deal
ings you a be sure we will give you
a good "send.off." Many a man has
found out that when his business need
cd extra capital or he wanted to get
others in with him on some deal, his
success has depended greatly on what
his banker could say about him. It will
pay You to become a regular depositor
and customer.

FARMERS, ATTENTION.

There is danger that the higt
price Of cotton will cause too mucI
cotton and too little corn to be plant.
cd. We cannot change the Law o.
supply and demand. Too much
cotton will surely produce low pric.
es. The reason the price has beer
good is that there has been a mod.
crate supply.
There lisa heavy responsibility on
our credit merchants and bankers Ia
see that their customers do not neg
lect the planting Of ample corn. Our
credit system allows the merchant
to dictate the crops planted, and il
he is a true friend 10 his customers
no will advise that ample corn be
planted.
NO country can prosper that is
dependent on another section for
everything. What does it profit us
to handle money, if little or none
stays with US,
Debt is not a good condition for a
people. Thrift makes better people
and a better country. To be thrifty
the South must give attention TO
corn.
All must admit that il our aver
age yield in the South was thirty
bushels per acre, every year, we
have ample corn.
Let the influence Of everyone be
used toward trying to get for 1911 a
that will average thirty bush
els TO the acre.
Corn, in abundant quantities
means food for man and beast, it
means better roads, better schools,
more people and better farmers.

where we stand. Be sure to plant

tine NEXT COTTON CROP.

Although the last cotton crop wal
approximately 1900, 900 bales, II
has utterly failed 70 provide th,
supplies which the worlds mill,
I have required, except at price,
which have made il impossible fol
many Of these mills, particularly
those in the United States, to oper.
ate at a profit. II has been an ex.
ceedingly profitable crop TO the
farmers Of the South, and as spin
ners have reaped big profits in
times past by resson Of the low
price at which raw cotton has been
sold, they have no reasonable cause
for complaint that the tables have
been turned ahd the producers have
made the profit instead Of the mill
owners.
Nevertheless, the prosperity Of
the cotton manufacturing industry
is essential 10 the we'll being Of the
cotton farmer. II would, therefore,
be unwise and unfortunate if the
raising Of short crops should be-
come chronic. The prosperity of
the mills means prosperity for the
frrmers in the long run. 1t would,
therefore DO unwise, as well as On
desirable, for the producer OF cot
ton to deliberately cooperate to pro
duce a short crop each year on the
theory that they would profit as
greatly by a short crop as by. q
large one, or, as has been the case
during tho past season, reap even
greater profits out Of a comparative.
ly short crop than they have out OF
larger yields in former years.
The short crops OF recent years
have not been the result of concert
ment Of acreage. Unfavorable
weather and the boil weevil have
been mainly responsible for the
short Yields, and not curtailment Of
acreage. II is certain that farmers
are determined to plant a large
acreage this spring, and nothing ON
their part will be done to stand in
the way Of a large yield. It is un-
derstood that 8 largely increased
acreage will be planted, and only
unfayyrable weather conditions,
such as excessive rains or unseason-
will be permitted TO prevent.
Even a large acreage, however, does
not insure a large'yield, as past e1.
perience has abundantly demon
strated. Bad weather during the
spring and summer may lead to a
Disappointing crop from a greatly
acreage.
II is to be hoped, however, that
present season will prove in
'very way propitious, and the in
'reased acreage which the farmers
seem determined to plant will be
permitted to produce a full yield.
l large crop this year is actually
seriou ly needed to restore
conditions in the cotton
rade OF the world, particularly the
manufacturing branch, and the fail /,
IRE OF the high hopes now enter
aimed would prove a veritable mis- I
.rtune. It is, therefore, to be
loped that the fears now entertain. +!
