Legislation WORT Do 1t.

The News has not thought there
was much that would or could be ac-
complished toward remedying the
situation in the South by either the
proposition to tax the production of
cotton or to prosecute the farmer
should he violate an agreement not
to plant more than a certain acre
age in cotton, and has more than
once expressed its views as to the
unwisdom and futility of such sug-
gestions.
The Lexington Echo, published in
one of the largest cotton growing
and most progressive counties of the
state, entertains similar views, and
in it's current issue gives expression
to them as follows:
THE cry goes up for legislation,
either national or state, to bring
about reduction of the cotton crop
for next year, and some go so far as
to demand such as will prevent any
cotton at all from being grown in
1915.
eve wouldn't want to live in the
cotton growing region if such legis-
lation were obtained, especially ma
tional.
eve believe the farmers would re-
sent such legislation to the bitter
end, be its purpose and probable re-
suits what they may.
"It must be admitted that the crop
must be reduced, and materially so,
to avert disaster. There is not
cotton grower who cannot reach this
conclusion from the facts and con-
ditions in sight. Yet they must be
induced to bring about reduction by
some other means than legislation.
That will smack too much of coer-
cion to suit the average citizen and
he will rebel against it.
eff the cotton crop is to be reduced
as is wanted it must be done by some
other means than by legislation that
prohibits farmers from planting so
many acres in the crop. We can't
conceive of any legislation that will
bring about the desired results that
would not cause lots of trouble.
Reduction depends largely, we
might say entirely, upon the course
of other interests that feed upon the
cotton growers. If they will deter
mine upon some of the many plans
that they might adopt to bring about
a reduction and then convince the
growers that they are sincere there
in there will be all the reduction
needed.
eve don't take any stock in 1egis-
lation, whatever it may be, serving
that purpose"

THE PRESIDENT AND COTTON.
rom the Macon Telegraph.

From the Macon Telegraph.
President Wilson's statement that
the mobilization of credits will SUI
fee to solve the cotton problem is a
little indefinite. His further state
ment that there is plenty of money
in the country, but the difficulty is to
get it to the growers does not point
the way to the relief which he con-
fesses the cotton growers ought to
have. The president is further quot
ed as saying that there is no danger
of a cotton corner through the efforts
of the bankers to raise fund to help
the farmers" Does the president
think it is necessary to assure the
country that the Southern farmers
will not be able to corner the mar
ket?
Mobilization of credits" is very
fine phrase. but credits must have
something to support them while the
mobilization is going on. Credit is
considerably more than a mere ''psy-
Geological" state 1t is worthless I'M
less it can be used to get what one
needs. From what the president says
it is easy to conclude that he favOrs
the "watchful waiting" policy for the
Southern cotton growers. "All things
come to him who waits" is an old
saying. Dickens experimental phi
1osopher who set out to prove that a
horse could live on a straw a day
would have succeeded in doing so if
the horse had not died before the
experiment was completed. The

plenty of money is like the honey in

PATRIOTIC BUSINESS.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
The announced plan of the South
ern Wholesale GrOcers' Association
to take over anywhere from mil
lion to two million bales of cotton
can perhaps be best characterized as
patriotic business
Patriotism is not altogether mat
ter of self-immOlatiOn for country or
general welfare. If it didn't combine
the idea of self-interest the sacrifice,
so far as the patriotism of it is con-
cerned, might as well be made for
some other country or some other
cause.
With the grocers it is, it is true,
largely a matter of business. 1t is a
question of helping the farmers at
the same time that they help them
selves. But in extending this help
they must make no small sacrifice in
taking over cotton at the price it
ought to bring rather than at that
for which it may be had, to some ex-
tent at least, in the open market.

SAVE THE STATES ROAD.
ON the Atlanta Journal.

From the Atlanta Journal.
Never has Georgia faced prob
lem more grave and urgent than that
thrust upon it by the interests which
are planning to build a line parallel
to the Western and Atlantic railway
from Gainesville to Atlanta for tne
manifest purpose of destroying the
state roads larger usefulness and
value. Public property, worth be-
tween sixteen and twenty million dol
lars and now yielding revenue OF
nearly half a million dollars year,
is in danger of irreparable damage.
If the scheme of these interests go
unchallenged and unchecked the
states road will be reduced to a
merely local line, deprived of its
most fruitful traffic connections; its
earning capacity will decrease, its
contribution to the common school
fund will fall off, its power in keep
ing down the tax rate will be soreIy
impaired, and instead of being pub
lie treasure it will become a public
burden.

AN INVISIBLE AEROPLANE.
From the American Boy.

From the American Boy.
An invisible aeroplane that may
play no inconsiderable part in the
European war was invented by 1
German engineer and demonstrated
shortly before the great conflict open
ed Instead of having cloth fabric
or other visible material used for COW
ering the planes this aeroplane is
constructed of a sort of transparent
celluloid that is also fire proof. These
celluloid wings let the light through,
leaving only the light framework of
the machine apparent, and when at a
hight of 5000 feet it is practically
impossible to detect the aeroplane at
all. The machine is fitted with a 81
lent motor, which is also valuable in
enabling the airman scouting over an
enemy's position to escape detection.
A further advantage is that the avi-
ators view is not cut off by the
planes.

THE ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES OF WAR
From the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
The end of the European war will
bring advantages to American com
merce and industry, all are agreed,
but it is as well to remember that
some disadvantages also will be felt
when hostilities cease and the work
of rehabilitation begins. American
lumber interests, it is reported, are
anticipating enormous foreign de-
mands as a result of the war. The
work of rebuilding what has been de-
stroyed will begin as soon as the
sterner problems of food and clothing
have been met. 1t stands to reason
that Europe will be unable to supply
all the building materials needed and
the nations will turn to America to
satisfy their needs along this line,
Advanced prices are apt to be nat
ural consequence of this increased
demand and the increase in prices
will follow.

Carpets For The Mississippi.
From the Youths Companion.

The Mississippi river, most capri
cious and pampered of streams, on
which Uncle Sam has spent millions
of dollars in jetties and levees to
keep her in her proper place, is now
having a carpet made for her at an
expense of many hundreds Of thous-
ands Of dollars. Rather, she is hav-
ing a number of carpets made; not
Of cotton or linen or wool, but Of
trees and branches. Some of the
carpets are a mile in length and 200
feet in width.
They will be used to carpet the
bed of the river near Memphis, Tenn.
/ in order to prevent the stream from
changing its course, and leaving the
city high and dry. The Mississippi

habit of cutting new channels at will

the stream There are scores of
towns that have been left. sometimes
several miles back from the new riv-
er bed. Of course this results in the
decay of the deserted towns.
In the-acase of Memphis the con-
sequences of the river cutting a new
channel several miles west of its
present bed and leaving a city of
more than a hundred thousand popu-
lation stranded has induced the gov
eminent to come to the rescue of the
threatened town. Immense carpets OF
willow branches, firmly fastened to-
gether, have been laid over the bed
of the stream. These great carpets,
heavily weighted with stones, sink to
the bottom. The carpets, when prop
erly laid. are pinned in place by huge
piles driven down through them deep
into the bed of the river. That stops
| the erosion of the river bed, and
keeps the channel in place.

really more concerned in today's pri-

county in the State. The only COVER
nor Newberry county has ever had is
a candidate for the United States SEN

of Newberry, is a candidate for con-
gress. We all know him, and We all
know that ne will worthily represent
us in the national house Of represen-

deal to Newberry county to have him

remember this.
