Thomas E. Hodges.

Professor Hodges has resigned
the Presidency of the University
and formally accepted the Demo
cratic nomination for Congress
man at-Large from West Virgin
la.
That he will have the loyal and
active, support of those who
stood at Parkersburg for Wylie
Bea1l, is as sure as their Democ-
racy.
"There is always another day"
in politics and party grievances
should be fought out within the
party and not in such manner as
to bring aid and comfort to the
common enemy.
Certainly, if wrong were done,
in the light Of all the facts adduc-
ed, Professor Hodges was no parz
ty to it and should not suffer
vicariously therefor.
Democrats can and will settle.
their differences among them
selves. But when the Republican
State press, hypocriticalTy obliv-I
ious to the sins of their own
moribund party, weeps crocodile
tears over minor troubles of the
triumphant Democracy, it may
well give pause to those who
haYe been disposed to accept
their jaundiced screeds without
many grains of salt.
Professor Hodges will bring to
hiscandidacy the force of a strong
personality, superb mental equip.
ment and a popularity second to
that of no other West Virginian.
As Woodrow Wilson drew to
ms banner the princeton alumni
throughout the nation, so will
the alumni of the State Universi-
ty regardless of past party affili-'
atoms, rally to the standard Of
Tom Hodges
The opposition has put its best

The Peach Crop.

81
A record fruit crop this year Is pre-
dicted by the standing committee on
statistics and standards Of the United
States Chamber of Commerce. With
the possible exception Of peaches, the
fruit crop this year, taking the country
over. has not been equaled in the past
decade, save in 1912. The early and
cold spring damaged the peach crop in
Oklahoma, Kansas. Arkansas, South
Missouri and some other States, but
the promise elsewhere is fine. and in
Hampshire county. this State, the
trees are fairly groaning under the
heaviest and richest burden they have
ever carried. -Greenbrier Independent,

The Independent continues to
harp on the alleged discrimina-
ton shown in the distribution Of
road funds.
AS a preliminary to turning
on the light" let US suggest to
its worthy editor that he scruti-
r1ize the records at the, Court
House and then publish state2
ment showing exactly how and
where the fund was expended
during the past Jfue year period.

HOLD YOUR COTTON.
Things arc Looking up and Cotton
Will Bring More Money.

Editor Daily Item:
When l came to Sumter this morn
ing Ilearned that quite a bit of cotton
Is being sold for 8 1-2 cents. much
of it by farmers who are supposed to
be able to hold. There never was a
more serious mistake than for our
farmers to do this. Whether YOU
have signed a pledge not to sell any
cotton before October 1st or not, to do
80 at l 1-2c below what the patriotic
citizens of Sumter are paying in the
"Buy Bale" at ten cents plan is to
ne utterly void of all proper appre-
citation Of what this splendid plan is
doing and it's possibility with busi-
ness connections all over the union
wiring to our banks and merchants
here to buy at ten cents from one
bale to 1O,4OO that Montgomery Ward
d Co., say they will take; with mer-
chants offering to settle accounts at
10 cents for cotton and to sell goods
for any overplus at the same rate,
the men who sell for less, however
pressed they may be, are traitors, un-
conscious though they may be, to the
South In this hour of her peril. And
they are prolOnging the period of dis
tress. DO without everything we
possibly can, and sell everything we
can rather than fall into the trap of
thinking we have done q good thing
when we sell cotton at 8 1-2 cents.
My advice is do not accept the 1Oc
price except for the money absolute
ly needed or to settle debt that is
due.
With this firm attitude among the
farmers, and liberal spirit among the
merchants, I believe we will soon Sc
cure such State and national legisla-
fion as will put cotton to the 12c
level, and then how cheap will the
farmer feel who sells today at 8 IL
cents? f.. w. Dabbs.

BANK JOINS MOVEMENT.

The latest organization to join the
buy Bale OF Cotton" movement is
the Bank of Sumter, each Of it's en-
plOyees having enlisted in the scheme
to put money in circulation and to aid
crop. The Bank OF Sumter, which
probably has as much money loaned
out to farmers as any bank in the
State, is not pushing the farmers for
this money, but on the other hand Is
rather encouraging the farmers to
hold their cotton off the market as
Ions, rs possible, and is extending all
notes of farmers if it enables them tu
hold their cotton crop.
