A RADICAL MEASURE NEEDED.
No 1915 COttOn-BOnds for Purchase.
CO-Opcration and Economy.

Editor Keowee Courier: Just a
word, please, anent the depressed
price of cotton.
Much Is being said from every
iuarter as to what should be done to
'elicve the distressing situation.
Many and various are the plans for
Helief which have been offered and
urged for adoption but none Of them,
Is far as | can see, clearly meet the
situation.
1t seems to me, however, if ! may
guggest, that If the different States in
which cotton is raised could be in
duced to properly cooperate, and
Zach State pass law placing the ban
Vpon the planting Of cotton within
IS borders in 1915, and each State
0ssue bonds sufficient to take care of
ne 1914 crop produced within it's
orders, say at the price OF 12b
cuts per pound, based on good mid
ling, enter the market and buy the
otton at IL " cents per pound, and
old it for purchase price plus ex-
lenses, then | believe the cankerous
"otton carbuncle would forthwith
ONE to a head, break and straight
way get we'll.
1t is universally conceded that ii it
ould be arranged so that no cotton
ould be raised in the United States
ia 1915, cotton now would be a good
Nurchase at l2& cents per pound
hen it follows that if this plan
)uld be adopted, and that quickly.
.nlief would speedily come to the sit
iation and no one be the loser there
W.
OF course such a radical measure
ould necesSitate sailing close to the
lorc during the year 1915, but we
puld take care and make our prepa-
'Ntions to meet this demand.

QUARANTINE LAWS.

The matter Of Quarantining against
certain contagious or infectious dis
eases is one Of the greatest safe
guards that local laws and general
lie. Quarantine regulations are de-
signed for the benefit Of the ones
QuarantinCd as much as for the pro-
lection Of the general public, and
each citizen should willingly and
gladly abide by the operation Of the
law, no matter if it is incOnvenient
and unpleasant. A little personal
Inconvenience or unpleasantness is
far preferable to the spreading of any
disease, and more especially so
where the disease in question is one
that concerns in the main the vel
fare and health Of children.
The report comes to us that in GER
tain cases where home. have been
Quarantincd adult members of the
families have never observed the
rules and regulations set out. This
Is not only dangerous but almost
criminal. There is ample law tc
compel compliance with the terms OF
quarantine, and wherever there is q
breach Of the quarantine regulations
stern measures should be applied. A
few examples OF this sort will have
very wholesome effect both for the
present and the future.
We do not know Of our own knowl
edge of any breach of quarantine
Simply instances OF non-compllanc,
with the law have been drawn TO on
Observation-Disclosures well founded q;
not we are unable to say. 1t is we'll
we think, under the circumstances tc
point to the seriousness OF such a con.
dition, whether 1t exists now, or has
existed, or may appear in the future

LAST Call FOR EXHIBITS.
MIR. Holland Appeals for Agricultural
Exhibits from OcOnee.

Editor Keowee Courier: The State
Fair will soon be on hand, and the
Department of Agriculture demands
that we make an exhibit Of all pro-
ducts made in the year 1914.
Now, | want to appeal to one and
all for help, and if | fail to get it, ii
will be a slur on the entire county.
All exhibits will be well cared for
and returned in good condition.
Make exhibits Of following size:
Corn in the ear, 20 to 25 ears.
Wheat, oats, rye, barley, one peck
each.
Peas Of any variety, soy beans, or
beans of any kind, one peck each.
Beets and turnips in any quantity
Garden vegetables of all sorts.
Potatoes, one peck each of Irish
and sweet
In fact, anything for man or beast
to eat.
Jellies or fruits in glass or tin.
(GlaSS preferred.)
This latter is as much to the ladies
as to the men and boys.
All members of the corn club are
expected to send in an exhibit of
corn-some ten or fifteen ears.
| will come to every ones home
for anything you would like to eX-
hibit. All products should reach me
by the 10th.
Any information desired will be
furnished on request.

DR.. w. VI. Riggs. president Of the
college, has officially announced that
there will be no trip for the cadet
corps to the State Fair this year. For
many years now the students have
gone annually to the fair. Dr. Riggs
and Col. Alan Jchnstone, OF Newber-
ry, who is the president of the board
of trustees, were authorized by the
board of trustees to decide the mat
ter, and they decided that, in view OF
the financial condition in which the
college finds itself, and the money
Strinsency existing among so many
parents Of the students, it would be
unwise TO take the usual trip to the
fair.
Dr. Riggs announces also that the
college will not make its usual extern
sive exhibit at the fair. This, how
ever, is to be offset In part by the
fact that the farm demonstration
forces under w. w. Long, director of
extension work and State agent of the
demonstration forces, will have 4
very full exhibit, but the exhibit Of
the college as a teaching agency will
not be made this year.

WHERE SUCCESS HINGES.

j. G. Boggs, of the lower part of
the county, was a business visitor in
WalhaIla last week. 1t is really re-
rrcshing to meet and know such men
rs hC-farmcrs who farm, not cotton
pIantCrs Mr.. BOggS has been farm
ing for Il years. and during that time
he states that he has never bought a
bushCl Of oats or corn nor bale Of
hay or bundle Of fodder. Yet Mr.
BO%gs' stock eats just as much corn,
hay, fodder, oats, etc, as other farm
crs' horses. Mr.. 1oggs has succeed
ed as Il farmer, and he isn't losing
much time grumhling over the pres
ont cotton situation. True, he has
a hundred bales TO dispose OF, "but." ."
he says. "l'vc got living at home.

this crop or not" lie is not going
to sacrifice it--wc'll bet on that.
because he doesn't have to do SO. and
hC doesn't have to sacrifice it-all
bccaus" he raised other things be-
sides cotton, which is a surplus crop.
That's the lesson our farmers need
TO learn. It's the lesson they have
got to learn before they can be pros

THE SITUATION AS VIEWED
iiy Senator Ncrncr-I.ower Counties
Worse on than Piedmont.

Columbia, Oct. 10.-Special: 1t
aDpcars, from accounts from all parts
81 the State, that conditions are
much more serious than thought
they were, and in all the middle and
'ower counties much worse than in
lie Piedmont.
1t is stated here time and again,
gp"d BUSINESS men, and men in
Iom have very confidence. that
In nearly a', ne main cotton belt
'hr hrl .arul alds in the State-that
cotton to pay for gathering and guano
bills; and most of the same country
is practically without provisions for
the people and their stock. The
question with them is how to meet
their other obligations and get sup
plies for another year.
One reason why they use so much
fertilizer is that they plant nearly all
their lands in cotton-from IS to 25
acres to the mule-and not over five
acres in all food stuffs. What corn
they do plant they fertilize very
highly. AS Senator McLaurin said on
the floor Of the Senate, he used
the corn. He is one of the large
planters.
1t is astonishing the amount of cot
ton the large planters are now hold
ing. There are many men in the
State who have now from 400 to way
up to 1000 bales Of cotton each, and
they say, at present prices, they will
lose great deal of money. One man
in this State is said to have several
thousand bales Of cotton-all grown
at heavy loss at present prices.
Now, this condition among the
large planters is at the bottom of the
idea of planting no cotton at all next
year. They hold-and, it must be
confessed, with good argument-that
with the present outlook, from every
point of view, if the present crop
could be held and financed wisely, it
would bring more money than two
crops with no demand for either of
them. But the trouble is, there is
no way u sight to finance the pres
ent crop so as to let the small holder
or needy man get share of the ben
efits. | am afraid all the cotton
would be out Of his hands before the
benefits OF such an act could be felt;
and then If other States cannot take
similar action, it would have no effect
anyway.
it is safe to say there never were
as many curious, not to say wild and
extreme, measures, resolutions and
| memorials to Congress as have been
| born and started on foot at this meet
ing OF the General Assembly. We
i have speeches by the hour on every
subject under the sun, covering every
; imaginable thing from the grain
mower to Horace Greeley on the con-
stitution of the United States. Some
want acreage reduction, some to limit
the number Of bales to the plow
others to plant only one-third Of the
last years crop in cotton, and most
OF us do not know what we want. and
for a mighty good reason---we do
, not know how to make a law to at
tend to the private affairs OF other
Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1914-10-14

people; at least confess that | do
not know how to do that.
The present situation is considered,
by the so-called "wisest men" in the
Senate, the most critical and alarm
ing Of any this State has had to deal
with since the Civil War. If you will
forgive me, | will digress and say Of
them what Lincoln said of certain
smart men with whom he had been in
conference.-the, after ALL they
were no smarter than some Others"
see no use in being alarmed, how
ever. | remember selling cotton at
half what it is now worth. We got
on some way, and we will do it again.
We are too eXtravagant any way; we
buy too much that we could do with
out, and we buy entirely too many
things that ought to be produced on
| the farm.
The lower counties, where the best
lands lie, are in a far worse condition
| than the upper counties for the very
reason that they try to stay on farms
and buy a living.
1T may or may not be OF interest to
your readers-at any rate | want
| them TO knOw--tNat the Hon. Edwin
DuRant Smith. United States Senator
from South Carolina, telegraphs us
that he is Heartily in favor Of entire
elimination of the cotton plan tan this
State next year"
If this republic were the republic
Of France it would buy the entire
cotton crop and hold it until it was
worth something. Then it would
have some reason to legislate to con-
troll acreage. The cotton States
could do this and not feel it, I do
not say it would or would not be
wise to do so, but do say If you are
to determine what shall or shall not
plant. then you ought also to under
take to make my planting profitable

One thing Is absolutely certain
the quarantine regulations establish
ed by the State and local authorities
are for the good of the public, and
they should be observed by the pub
lie at all times. Noncompliance
should be dealt with speedily and
severely. One who fails or refuses to
comply with the law is menace to

they are, there should not be much
liability to trouble.
Another matter | wish to call at
tentiOn to, which some seem to have
the wrong idea about, is that the
minimum charge of 81 per month
does not apply to part of a month
For instance, If a customer is 'cut in"
on October 10, he does not have to
pay the minimum for the rest Of
that month, but only pays for what
current he actually uses.
also wish to suggest, for the ben
eft Of the house-keepers, that every
body should have their metres in
stalled on the side or back porch. 1t
is not always convenient for our
wives to have the meter-man 90 up
stairs to read or calibrate the metre.
If you do not wish the switch 10 be
accessible to burglars, it can be put
OH the inside and the metre put on
the outside.
If you wish any information, or
have any complaint TO make. please
come to headquarters with it. Do
not go, or pay any attention. to some
one who knows nothing about the
matter or who has nothing to do with
it. Respectfully,
