THE SOUTH'S COTTON.
Greenville Piedmont.

Greenville Piedmont
Our local morning contemporary
says: The South with its cotton is
the unfortunate goat of conditions, to
a certain extent, but this can not well
be avoided" The South is worse than
a goat-it is the newer of wood and
drawer of water to the balance of the
nation. When Il Republicans control
the national government, they say:
There is no use doing anything for
the South, because it will remain Dem
ocratic regardless of what we may do
for it." And when there is national
Democratic administration, which
comes into existence only through the
loyal support of the solid South, it
disregards this section because it
knows no matter now it may be slight
ed it will turn up smiling in the next
presidential election with unbroken
support of tie Democratic nominee.
Washington seems absolutely indif-
ferent as to what happens to the
South's cotton so long as the wheat Of
the West and the munitions Of war
manufactured in the North and East
can find sale at f5igh prices in Europe.
Senator Hoke Smiths presentation
of this subject is unanswered because
unanswerable. 1t has been ignored,
but that does not make it any the
less true.
If other Southern senators and rep
resentatives should range themselves
by his side and speak out as openly
and fearlessly, something mig-t be
accomplished.
If we drift on as we are drifting
and have been drifting, the weight Of
the new crop of cotton superimposed
upon the millions of bales of the 1914
crop carried over will sag the price
of the feecy staple to lower levels
than were read. ed last fall.
Again we quote from our local morn
ing contemporary: What do these
people who dissertate so learnedly
concerning the fragrant violations OF
neutrality, and the infringement upon
our rights by Great Britain, think Of
the administration at Washington?
Certainly men of the intellect, courage
and information possessed by tie pres
ident and mis- secretary of state
would not sit quiet if one-third of the
alleged mal-practices were actually
being peqpetrated. If the law OF ma
tions were being violated by the allies,
Washington would speak, just as
Washington spoke to Germany"
The president and the secretary OF
state did not "sit quiet" and we accept
as proof of the alleged malpractices"
the protests tley have made to Eng
land and her allies against them.
Washington did speak, but not "just
as Washington spoke to Germany
Had it spoken to England and her al
lies as it spoke to Germany their "al-
legged malpractices es"-alleged by our
president and secretary Of state
would have been stopped. Not only
that, but their stoppage would have so
oaanged Germany's conduct as to have
removed our cause of complaint
against that country.
If before this years crop comes on
the market, the ports of Europe are
opened to cotton as our president and
secretary of state have said they ought
to be if we obtain our rights under in
ternational law, the price of cotton
will go considerably above ten-pos-
sibly above ffteen-cents a pound. II
the present status continues, very
low price of cotton may be expected.

Now, my dear reader, this is not an
ideal land impossible of attainment 1t
all depends upon you. Why shouldn't
we have more of singing and less of
signing, and why shouldn't we make
friends wit-out half trying. Why
shouldn't there be fewer hearts with
despair acting. Why shouldn't there
be more of giving and less of taking.
/ The old greedy and selfish nature
needs to be controlled and made bet

try to reach that uncharted isle where
Fair lies the land, beheld in dreams,
Where roaring guns are never heard,
And where the hearts of human kind
By letlal hate are never stirred;
Where right prevails above the
wrong,
And all men strive with purpose nigh
To make of life a grand sweet song.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

% o o o o @ 8 o o o 9 o o 8 o o o
The Bac- elor Maids club of New
berry are making an effort to secure
a fund sufficient to meet the expense
of a community nurse for the town for
a peroid of six months. The work of
community nurse is not an expert
ment, but mas proven in hundreds Of
towns and cities practical value from
a health and sanitary view point that
can not be estimated. The work
the Bac elor Maids have done in the
| town has been done with the constant
realization of tne need of such expert
service and has been greatly handi-
capped by the lack of the assistance Of
trained nurse in the community.
In making this effort to meet tie
expense of a trained nurse for COM
munity service the Bachelor Maids
think that during the first six months
the value of such work will be so
clearly and emphatically demonstrated
that the necessary money for the per-
manent support of the work will be
gladly contributed in a systematic way
by the various organipations and the
public spirited citizens of the town.
The duties in detail of the nurse can
not be described in so limited a space
She is what the name implies-a Com
munity Nurse. She is not expected to
take permanent c-arge of any case of
protracted illness, but it is her duty
to answer all emergency calls from
any home in town and render expert
service whenever and wherever need
ed. She is a visiting nurse. She goes
from home to home where there is ILL
ness and instructs and assists those
ONES in the care of their sick ones.
1t is her duty to keep in daily COM
munication with the cases where her
services are most needed and to seek
opportunities for her work, always
with actual direction and assistance
as trained nurse, and with a view
, to improvement in health and sanitary
conditions in the lone and community.
The value of such service to the COM
munity can not be overestimated. 1t
is proposed that the services will not
be denied any home within reason
able distance outside the town when
transportation is furnished.
To employ an efficient trained nurse
! competent to demonstrate tie value of
such work will cost approximately
$3.50 for the six months
The Bachelor Maids club has ap-
pointed committee to make an active
effort to secure the necessary money
to cover the expense for the first six
months and through the courtesy of
the newspapers make this public an
nouncement with the hope that every
citizen in the town will realize the i'm
portance of the work and make some
contribution.
Contributions will be received at the
offices of The Herald and News and
The Observer, or by any member of
THE BACHELOR MAIDS CLUB.

While every one in Newberry is en-
Toying the opening of the park, anu
we are going to ave booster cnau-
tauoua week beginning next Wednes-
day, wish l could get all the people
in this town and county to apply the
words. and better still the sentiment,
of little poem read some good while
ago, and possibly l have heretofore
printed il, in this column, but even
L ough | have it will bear repeating.
1t was a greeting from Winnepeg to
some national association that was
meeting in that city and was entitled
"That's Where the West Begins The
occasion was get-;o-gether and get
ACQUAINTED entertainment and band
concert rendered by the Winnepeg real
estate exchange to delegates of the na-
tional association of real estate ex-
changes. 1t is said that the author
is not known. What a pity that we
should not even know the name of the
man or the woman who could write
such sweet and beautiful sentiment.
Let's apply it to Newberry town and
county. It would do all of US good to
apply it individually. Just to think
T. at VIC could make Newberry the
place described by the little poem as
that's Were the west begins, and we
could if we would, and it would be so
easy and so much better that We would
wonder why this had not been such
a place long ago. A little willie ago
some kind friend sent me paper from
a far off State and marked a little
poem, "It's you and not the town" :"
but I don't think it was intended as
personal to me, but 1T is true that it
is the people who make the community
and the community is what they
choose to make it. Let us make this
community the place described as
that's where the west begine, and we
can if we will.
Out where the hand clasps a little
stronger,
Out where the smile dwells little
longer,
That's Were the West begins.
Out where the suns little brighter,
Where the snow that falls is trifie
whittier,
Where :,-e bonds of home are a wee
bit tighter,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the skies are trifle bluer,
Out where friendships little truer,
Out VI ere everything is newer,
That's where the West begins.
Out where a fresher breeze is blowing,
Where there's laughter in every
s:reamlet flowing,
Where there's more of reaping and
less Of sowing,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the West is in the making,
Where fewer hearts with despair are
aching,
Where there's more of giving and less
of taking,
That's where the West begins.
Where t:ere's more of singing and
less of signing,
Where there's more of giving and less
of buying,
And where man makes friends with
out half trying
That's where the West begins.
Now, my dear reader, this is not an

right. for don't forget that the indl-
yidua!s make the community. But
what I was after and trying to impress
is that at this time OF I park open
ing and the boos:er chautauQua week
we should all make this in reality the
place where the west begins, as de-
scli6ed in t at little poem quoted
above. 1t is left to each individual
to co his ard her part.
Now then, with this preachment and
good advice, for which l make no
c. arge, just as. did in my epis,le TO
the beathen, am going to close by
telling you Of the good influence of the
sunshiny man. Listen, read:
The Sunshine Man.
Did y'ever hear about tn funny, sun
ny Sunshine Man? He's got a heart
that's bigger than yer gran'ma's S
warmin' pan, a head that's like it's
all on fire, n feet that's made of gold
n a grin jes' like wa:ermillion cut
in two, I'm told; n he sprinkles out
t. e sunshine from a great big waterin'
can, n We jes' can't help a-laffin at
the Sunshine Man.
n when yer heart is heavy, n ye
feel ye'd like to cry, n ye. amt got
friends er money, II the whole worlds
gone awry, n when life doesn't seem
WORT while, er wnen yer down an
out, n lost yer faith in ever thing,
er when yer minds in doubt-Ihen ye
cheer up of a sudden, n brighter
sky you scan; do ye want to know
what's nappened?-It's the Sunshine
man.
And remember that there is an old
but true saying that, Happiness is
a perfume you can not pour on others
without getting few drops On your
self" The point in Els is that you
can not be happy unless you make
others happy. 1t is a perfume that
when you pour it on others, it spreads
its sweetness to you, and not other
wise. THE IDLER.

DIES MONIES BOY IS SHOT BY
BANDIT.
Howard Eales Receives Bullet
Wound in Knee When He Fail.
ed to Take Threats
Seriously,

Howard Eales, son of G. S. Eales
of 1872 Twenty-seventh street, lies
in hospital in Sioux City with a
bullet wound in which he figured a
few days ago. Eales was out with
companion and two young women.
It was late in the evening, says the
Des Moines Register of last Thurs
day.
A holdup man stepped in front OF
them, stuck a gun in Eales' face and
demanded his money. Eales thought
it was joke and laughed. The
bandit Immediately opened fire.
One bullet struck Eales. His wound
is painful, although not serious, &C
cording to word deceived by rela-
tives. His assailant got about $40
in cash. Eales began work few
weeks ago for the American Tobacco
company in northwestern Iowa.
Howard is we'll known in Leon,
having resided here for several
years after moving here from the
farm south of Weldon. He moved
with his parents to Des Moines about
eight years ago. He climbed the
flag pole on the new court house to
put up the first flag when the court
house was dedicated.

Already space reservations have been
made for exhibition purposes by every
dealer in Des Moines and good many
outside. This means that the show
will include practically every make
of auto that is manufactured in the
entire country. Everything that is new
or novel or late in auto building will
be on exhibition. The man who is
thinking Of buying a car this summer
or fall, possibly after harvest or corn

value in that it will afford the best

MANY IMPROVEMENTS At IOWA
STATE FAIR GROUNDS. VI

Those Of 1owa's citizens who by an
nual pilsrimages to the State Fair and
Exposition have kept tab on the
changes and improvements from year
to year will ind that the march OF
progress has not been interfered with,
nor has it been idling by the wayside
since the fair Of 1914. Tho first thing
that will meet the critical eye OF the
visitor who enters the grounds by way
Of the Rock Island gates Is the new
sheep pavilion, erected the present
summer. It stands inside the gates,
directly across Rock Island avenue
from the swine pavilion and south OF
the big horse barn. 1t is OF the same
general plan Of architecture az the
swine pavilion and machinery hall,
built Of brick and steel, and is ma
terial improvement to the southwest
corner Of the grounds.

IOWA HOGS AND CATTLE.
Gain is Shown in Spite Of Foot and
Mouth Disease and Strained III.
nancial Conditions.

Figures made public in a report
issued from the auditors department
at Des Moines last week show that
the value of livestock in Iowa at the
present time, according to reports of
county assessors is $238, 458,O57.OO
an increase over 1914 in spite of the
quarantines for foot and mouth dis
ease and financial stringency.
The report shows that hogs in
creased from 3,7SO,36S in 1914 to
4,631,751 in 1915 The 1914 report
valued hogs then on the farms at
S33,S65,428. The 1915 report places
the value of hogs at $36,095,17S.
These are the assessors reports and
it is believed all hogs are accounted
for.
Cattle increased in numbers also.
In 1914 there were 2,904,895 head
of cattle in the state, valued at $91,-
439,91S. The 1915 report shows g.
0S3,S21 head of cattle valued at
$95,61O,97O. These values are for
taxation purposes only and do not
represent the true value. Owing to
the fact that many counties have re-
tive council will have the task of
dSocSoluCuIS UCINSCA Iuc
counties to do all over again.
The value of all live stock in Iowa
is reported by the assessors at $685.
45S,057. The United States census
bureau recently published figures on
Iowa live stock showing the values
at three times the figures reported
by the assessors.
The number of sheep in Iowa de-
creased In 1914 there were 49,
324 head in the state. The 1915 re-
port shows SCI, $50.
The reports shows 1,26S,S22
horses on Iowa farms and 61, ABA
mules. Apparently the purchase of
horses and mules for war purposes
had not cut into the Iowa supply to
any great extent by the time the as
SCISSORS made their rounds.
The number of cattle in feeding
showed a big increase. In 1914
there were 24O,4S3 head. The new
reports show 325,997 head of cattle
in feeding in this state. There are
463,444 head of heifers one year
old. " 49,. -.
The Lee county report was the last
to reach the capital. 1t showed such
a big reduction in the assessment of
real estate that when added to the
other ninety-nine counties it reduced
the average value per acre about 20
cents. The completed table shows
lands assessed at an average of
$64.91 an acre. In 1913. the aver
age per acre was s66.S1. There are
100000 acres of land in Iowa.
