Us Good
Editor Pickens Sentinel:

Editor Pickens Sentinel:
Your letter to hand, stating you
could not send your paper any longer

ing every day. l am aware of the
fact that you are following the law

so l enclose you a brand-fre new 81
bill that Uncle Sam has just made
out of the high raw material. l sold
IA pounds of cotton to get this pa
per, while last year only had to sell
8 pounds pay for my paper, so you

II the poor farmers could only
gather together all the advice
given them-free-and sell it as
high as the lawyers charge fo1
their advice they would get a
good deal more for advice than
they will get for their cotton
crop at the present prices. And
vet, with all the advice he gets,
the farmer must work out his
own problem. No one else can
work it out for him. The farm
er knows just as well, or better,
than anyone else that to raise
more grain and less cotton would
be better for him and for the en-
tire country, and yet he is wait
ing for the other fellow to cut
the acreage of cotton first. It
may be that the present gloomy
condition in financial affairs,
caused by the low price of cot
ton, will bea blessing in disguise.

One good result of the war has
shown itself in Russia, where in
the past two months the Jewish
people have been authorized to
become army and navy officers
and the highest grades are ac-
cessibie to them. It is believed
that more important decisions
will be made, and it is proposed
in high Russian circles to annul
all other restrictions affecting
the Hebraic community. The
Russian Bear must be getting
short of fighting material.

How the legislature of South
Carolina is going to make a law
to prohibit the planting of cot
ton, OF any other crop, for that
matter, is beyond US. The SUI
preme court Of the United States,
If not the state court, would
knock a law of that kind sky
high at the first shot. Besides,
there are ten other cotton states
to take into consideration. If
they should continue to plant
cotton as of yore, the total elm:
ination proposed in this state
would amount to nothing as to
the price paid for the staple. If
all of the eleven cotton growing
states would cut the acreage in
half for 1915 it is thought the
price Of the present crop would
advance at once. AS it now is,
cotton is getting lower every day.

the United States army a few
weeks ago:
Angel Island, CAL, Sept. 2S.
Dear Mamma:-Arrived here
this afternoon and it was sure
fine trip. We were four days
and four nights on the road.
We left Columbus barracks last
Thursday morning and arrived
in San Francisco today (Mon-
day. at 5 p. m. We didn't stay
but a few minutes in Frisco,
but caught a boat and came
right over here. This place is
lust four miles from Frisco and
is on a high mountain, so you
can see Frisco good from here.
Will try to describe my trip to
you. We were on a special
train of twelve coaches, all pull
man cars, and two dining cars,
so you see they sent us away in
good style.
Will write you the different
states we were in at meal times
so you can see how fast we
were travelling. We ate supper
in Ohio Thursday; breakfast in
Illinois Friday; dinner in Mis-
souri, Friday; supper IN Kansas
Friday; breakfast in Colorado
Saturday; dinner and supper in
New Mexico Saturday; break
fast, dinner and supper in Ari-
zona Sunday, breakfast and
dinner in California Monday.
The country sure is pretty
out here. If I live to get out of
the army I intend to make the
west my home New Mexico
is a pretty country. We stopped
over for two hours in Kansas
City, Mo-, and they let us look
the town over. It is a fine
place. They also stopped over
three hours in Chicago, Ill. Now
believe me, that is some town.
We also stopped over in Las
Vegas, New Mexico. We crossed
the Rocky mountains in Arizona
and passed through fourteen
tunnels one six miles long.
San Francisco is a big town.
It is the finest place I eyer was
in. It is nice and warm over
here. I saw lots Of prairie dogs
ON the prairies of Kansas and

just about the size of a big rat.

German-sounding names are
unpopular in London both from
a social and business standpoint,
and as a consequence there is a
rush of people with those names
to the courts to have them
changed. Some take old En-
glish names and some take Irish
and Scotch names. One man
named Kaiser had his name
changed 10 King, which was
quite tactful. Another one,
named Kuss, had his changed
to Cuss, which was not much of
