Better Times Coming.

With very favorable weather for
fall breaking, sowing cover crops
and small grain crops, and making
preliminary preparations for diver
sifed planting and intensive cultiva-
ton, it is not surprising that splen-
dio progress has already been made.
The people of the Southwest may
be depended upon to meet condi-
tions as are made necessary by the
European war. Our people cheer
fully have borne the loss sustained
by injured markets and close fnan-
cial matters made possible because
of European conflict in arms.
But it seems from reports that
the end of gloom and disappoint-
ment is nearly in sight. The large
sum of money promised as loans to
assist in holding cotton has increas-
ed confidence. The regional reserve
banks are to be established soon.
The opinion prevails that the cot

The people of Charleston are in a
quandary as to whether to accept the
sum of $4,000 which. has been, be-
queathed to the city by West Virgl-
mia woman, a former Charlestonian,
for the erection of an ornamental
drinking fountain to perpetuates the
memory of John Brown who possessed
an unsavory reputation in the days OF
the Civil war. The Confederate vete-
rams of Charleston are urging the city
council not to erect a fountain to the
honor Of an old arch-enemy, while the
younger men of the city are said to
care very little either way.
The preponderance seems to indicate
that the generations to follow will not
drink to John Browns memory IN
Charleston.

BELGIAN Farmers Needed.

An effort is being made in Georgia to
induce Belgians who have been driven
from their homes by the Germans to
come to America and locate in Georgia.
Beleians are a sturdy, thrifty people
and would make desirable citizens for
the South. Edgefeld could easily make
room for a thousand small, industrious
farmers. We need an iufux of for
eieners of the right type to cultivate
thousands of acres of our idle and un-
productive land. Perhaps it would be
we'll if our agricultural department in
Columbia would look into the matter.

ton crop will be reduced considera-
bly, next year. Many have sown
wheat, oats, rye, barley, etc., on
land usually planted in cotton. Re-
ports have been received from large
land owners who have assisted
their tenants to plant more small
grain, hay crops, corn, kafir. milo,
peanuts, etc., and thus reduce the
cotton acreage.
What we need in this change or
conditions, as in all others, is close
cooperation and the greatest con-
fdence in each other. Let each re-
alize that he must do his part, rem
der whatever assistance he is able
to those who need help and be
cheerful aud hopeful. This is no
time for encouragement and dis
content. Discouragement never
builds; it destroys. We need the
counsel and help of the hopeful and
cheerful. We are entering upon
more prosperous times and great

f,uards PEOPLES interests.

It appears to US that the present ad-
ministration is keeping constant vigil
over the national banks, lest they with
hold money from circulation on the one
hand or charge an excessive rate OF IN
teres, ON the other. In other words,
the administration is bent on serving
the people in this crisis. rather than
the banks, which is as it should be.
In past crises,Iat times itappeared that
the government took care Of the banks
first. Do you recall an administration
that has so persistently safeguarded
the peoples interests as the Wilson ao-
ministration has? He is indeed the
President of and for the people, and 1T
is the pursuance of such policy that
will keep him in the White House four
more years.

Improve Spare Moments by Reading.

improve Spare moments oy heaoAns'
Men and women with trained intel
lects are sought more to-day than ever
before. Times have so changed that
there is no place in the business world
for the dull, undeveloped mind. In
stead of moving at a snail's pace, the
world is marching at electric speed.
Consequently old ways and methods OF
conducting business are too slow and un-
profitable. In order to fill desirable
place in modern business life one must
possess quick, alert, well-trained
mind. Therefore, it behooves our young
men to be constantly engaged in the bu-
siness of self-improvement.
When the writer was in college one
of the professors frequently urged the
young men to be each day self sur
passed, meaning that with each sue
ceeding day they should be stronger IN
tellectually and better equipped than on
the preceding day. There is no more
effective way to become each day self
surpassed than by reading good books
If one is constantly on the alert for
opportunities to read, it will be sur
prising how much in the aggregate can
be gained by improving the odd mo-
ments of a day or week or month.
Then, too, these long autumn evenings
afford a golden opportunity for intel
lectual culture and development. There
are but few persons who, if they make
desperate effort, cannot read two
hours every evening during the winter,
which will practically amount to a day
of twelve hours in a week. Try it for
this winter and see how many maga-
zines and good books can be read be-
fore the ''tired feeling" of spring
overtakes you.
We appeal especially to the young
people. With life yet before them,
they need intellectual development
more than their seniors.

Do Not Plan to Surrender.

AS a rule we are about as prosperous
as we think we are. Nobody except
those who feel discouraged and are
ready to give up are to be pitied. The
brave and courageous need no help,
nor are they in danger of failure. So
long as we are determined and hope
full we are safe. The brave soldier
does not look for favorable time to
surrender. He does not surrender, IT
is the coward that deserts or surren-.
ders without fighting. Farm and
