A few years ago when Dan Sulley
and his associates cornered the cot
ton market and caused the price of
the fleccy staple to soar to 10 and II
cents per pound, there was such q
howl raised about It by government
officials at Washington that 1t could
be heard from pole to pole Cotton
Is product OF the south.
Now that wheat has passed si.oG per
bushel and promises TO 60 to $500 per
bushel and flour has passed the $500
per barrel mark, who Is raising any
howl about it. save the cotton farmers
who nave been planting all cotton
and IL having to pay for this high
praced flour with 6 to cents cotton.
Wheat Is a northern and western pro-
duct, therefore, the people of the south
cannot expect any relief so long as
the machinery Of the government is i'll
the hands OF men who will protect one
section to the injury of another. We
arc satisfied that the cases are al
most identical, that Of the rise in the
1 - AASS VA SOhIol Al NJQiiy LtiitC anu lAC
| present rise In grain. The speculator
is at the head of the whole thing.
and we expect that II the truth was
known that. that government inspec-
tor who Is in Chicago watching the
grain market is patting the specu-
lator on the back and saying: Go
aheadboys you are not interfering
with my salary"
This high priced flour and low
priced cotton is going TO ca,rse such
revolution in farming in the south
| that this United States OF ours will
shake fro mthe Atlantic 10 the Pacific,
and IL sure to be the awakening of
! new era of prosperity for the whole
country. OF course 1t Is hard pulling
now, hut everything points to the fact
that we will be better prepared for
such things in the future.
| Rev. II. A. O'Kelley preached an
excellent sermon at this place Sunday
to large and appreciative audience.
| The Young people Of the community
enjoyed dance ut the home of J. a.
Martin Thursday night.
| Dewitt Massey and Anderson Griffith
visited home. folks Saturday and at
tended services here Sunday.
| Claude and Griffin Jameson of the
r-McElmoyle section were visi-
tors here last Sunday.
! A. NJ. Martin and B. l.. Barnett were
business visitors to Pelzer Friday.
E. s. Wilson OF Cross Roads was

| Sunday.
| Those Of our people who are pat
ronizing the cream route from Liberty
seem to be we'll pleased and since the
meeting held at the Melton school last
Friday afternoon MANY more are
thinking Of patronizing the route, he
lieying that it will PROVE to be payA
Ing proposition. The gathering of
eggs along this route has already be-
gan, and many nice fresh eggs will be
shipped to Clemson daily. 1t is pro-
posed to establish sub-route to ex-
tend from Six and Twenty to some
! cream ang eggs from the intervening
will patronize It to make 1t pay.
| Although the ground was too wet
for work nearly everybody in this
section was working in their gardens
last Saturday, That is sure sign
that spring is not far away
| Nearly everybody in this section Is
sorry That the county delegation could
not see their way clear to recommend
the appointment of A. nj, Guyton to
succeed himself at magistrates for
Hopewell township. He has been mag
istrate here for many years and has
always given satisfaction. Perhaps
the change will be for the best, for
no bette. man could have received
the appointment than C. c. King.
| If the wheat and oat crop ever gets
up to the place where it can be seen,
It is hoped that 1t will look fairly
well. One thing is certain, very lit
tie can be seen at present.
u. F.. Whitaker has recently had
his corn mill worked over. and there
are many mills, but. none of them
make meal like unto Whittaker's meal
T. c. Wilson was business visitor
to Anderson last Saturday. "
Let everybody who can possibly do
so come out TO Sunday school next
Sunday and LET'S get to work. Y.
