Use COTTON CLOTH.

The suggestion by Tennessee
firm to FAINT Brothers company here
that the shippers be encouraged to
use cotton wrapping wrapping for
shipping purposes is good one. The
same idea might be carried further.
We might use cotton underwear in
stead of woollen. 1t is more COM
Portable and, for most people more
healthful. In fact, the general use of
cotton goods could be carried much
further than it it carried usually.
The "buy-a bale" movement is in
the right direction. 1t should go still
further and include the buy bolt"
movement The merchant can help
the farmer by buying bale. The
farmer can help the merchant by buy
ing a bolt. There is not farmer IN
Union county who could not find good
use for bolt of yellow homespun and
bolt of bleaching. Such a purchase
on the part of the pubic would empty
every store in Union county of it's cot
ton goods. 1t could be carried bit
further. Socks, handkerchiefs, calico
all kinds of cotton goods necessary
could be purchased by the farmer and
by the wage Garner and they would in
turn be helping themselves as well as
helping the merchants. Anyway, we
live by cooperation. What helps one
helps all; what hurts one hurts all.
eve must hang together or else we
will hang separately" as said the inn
mortal Ben Franklin to his fellow
signers of the Declaration of Inde-
pendance.

Mr.. +. w. Carnell, county farm
Union county have ordered through
him something like $4,000 pounds of
clover seed and 1000 pounds of vetch.
To this should be added $50 bushels
of rye. This supply of seed has come
through Mr.. CARMEL alone, and does
not include what has been ordered
through the merchant or by the farm
er on his own account. 1t it far in
heretofore, and tells it's own story.
The farmers of Union county are
awakening. The farm lands of Union
county WILL in short while, show
marked improvement. We are just
awakening. The great advance is to
be seen in the next few years.
Clemson college has sent out a bull
letin urging farmers to plant as large
an acreage in oats as possible. Mr..
CARMEL is also urging a like PROPOSE
ton. He also urges that evry farmer
SOW some wheat as well as all the
oats he can.
In ten years from today a man
journeying through Union county will
see a vastly different country from
that now to be seen. We predict that
a journey from Carlisle to Jonesville
a decade from now will reveal hun
drcds and hundreds of acres planted
in Ocarh treaS. fold aftp,, fold Df
clover, vetch and other nitrogenous
plants, fat hogs, sleek cattle and il
every way more attractive condi.
ton. The red hills and gulies vii

KELTON

Kelton, Sept. 21.-After some d,vs
Of real September weather we are
having summer weather again.
News is scarce on the Ridge inst
now, all the talk is the great Enro-
pean war and the low price of cotton
and the cry of hard times. Those Of
us who went through the war betweer
the States know something abou,
hard times. We are living too +. st
in this age and if the great war 10 +,
year or two it will knock the starcL
out of us all and then we can tnr,
over a new leaf and begin afresh as
we did after the civil war.
The good women are having plentv
of beans these days and we are hav.
other day "the old woman" helped nv
plate to some beans and looking into
the dish for some bacon, she said. "Jt
cooked all to pieces" Well, l knew
she had the experience of the Confed-
crate war and l asked her no cues
tionS.
Cotton picking is progressing right
along. | cannot, see way for the
poor farmers unless we can get some
universal law in all the cotton grow
ing states prohibiting the cotton
farmers from making too much cot
ton, by a tax on every bale above such
number to the plow. We are bound
to see starvation prices for our staple
the next two years. If we could have
such a law within thirty days YOU
would see cotton go r war OF no war
because the mills and moncyed men
would be in the market not only for
this crop but the 1915 crop.
The people on the Ridge were ter
riblv shocked over the tragic death of
