Wrong and Hurtful System.

The overworked credit system of
the South ought to get It's death blow
speedily. We surely have had suffi-
cient experience with all credit and
slow pay to desire most earnestly a
change-and the only pay to change
is to change.
The credit system is a nuisance; it
is more than nuisance. it is ruinous.
If every business and professional
man in this community were asked
as to whether he would rather sell
for cash at a considerable discount
in price, or continue the credit sys-
TEN, we believe the vote would be
unanimous in favor of cash and re-
,duced profits.
On the other hand we are fully
convinced that the men who buy will
also agree that the credit system is
a hardship and stands in the way of
thrift and saving. Credit leads us
to the extravagant extreme, strains
our paying ability to the limit and
helps to keep both buyer and seller
hard up.
Now why can't the people Of this
community get together with the
tradesmen and inaugurate a strictly
cash system in every fine of business? :?
Why can't we stamp out the credit
curse? 1t Is simply a breeder OF
nigh prices, in which everybody
suffers

Fixing Price of Cotton Unwise

Edgefield Advertiser.
Unless the farmers of South Caro-
lima were financially able to hold
their cotton, or, being unable, had
sufficient warehouse accommodation
to store the cotton to be used as Sc
curity for loans at banks, we deem II
unwise to attempt, by concert of ac-
ton, to name or fix a minimum price
Tor the staple. If we are to judge
the future by the past, and we have
no better guide, a resolution fixing
the price will be largely disregarded
by farmers themselves, and the ulti-
mate result will be- merely another
demonstration to the world that the
producers Of cotton are, under pres
ent conditions, unable to control the
price.
In our opinion, the price will never
be controlled by farmers as long as
considerable portion of the crop is
spent before it is harvested and mar
keted. When a majority Of farmers
reach the fortunate state of indepen-
dence that they really own the cot
ton they make, then, and not until
hen, will they be able to demand a
fixed price for the staple. Passing
resolutions which they are powerless
to enforce, make cotton growers the
laughing stock of spinners and specu-
lators.

Our Own"

h. L. o." in Newberry Observer.
Editor Ed II. DeCamp of The Gaff-
ney Ledger gives expression to a
very general and much-to- -be-regrett
ed truth in the following editorial in
his paper:
1t Is to be regretted that indvid.
ual courtesy in the household is al
so low an ebb. We treat or guests
with favor and bestow upon them
every mark of polite attention; but
the minute they are out of the house
we slip back into the old ruts, and
treat those about us with an indiffer-
ence that borders on contempt Not
that this Is intentional; rather it is
the result Of carelessness, a failure
to realize that the polite attention
the little things" count as much to
those we love as to some outsider
who becomes a member of a family
for a day"
The same thought is expressed by
Margaret e. Sangster in the follow
ih6
IF 1 had known in the morning
How wearily all the day
The words unkind
Would trouble my mind
That 1 said when you went away.
1 had been more careful, darling,
Nor given you needless pain;
But we veX our own
With look and tone
We might never take back again.
For though in the quiet evening.
You may give the kiss OF peace,
Yet IL might be
That never for me
The pain of the heart should cease.
How many go forth in the morning
That never come home at night;
And hearts nave broken
For harsh words spoken
That sorrow can never make right.

And smiles for the sometime guest
But oft for our own

Twere cruel fate

DECISIVE FOR PROHIBITION :
Columbia State, 18th.


| Columbia State, 18th.
The State believes and so rules its
,, wish that the prohibition majority.
undoubtedly decisive, will be so
great when all the votes have been
counted as to convince the advocates
OF the sale of liquors in South Caro-
lima of the futility of resistance to
the enforcement of the law that will
go into effect on the 31st day of next
December.
Financially the city of Aiken has
had, in proportion to its population,
more at stake than any other COM
munity of South Carolina south of
Columbia. 1t has had the profits of
the dispensaries without interruption
for years. The town of Aiken voted
four or five to one for the abolition
OF the traffic.
Union alone among the counties of
the up-country has had dispensaries
in recent years and the city and the
county have reaped the profits of the
traffic not only from their own peo-
pie, but from the people of neighbor-
ing counties. Union voted three to
one for prohibition.
The city of Columbia voted heavily
against the dispensaries. The infer
ence is clear that the electors of
South Carolina have not been guided
by sordid considerations. They are
not afraid of higher taxes IL they
bring improved morals and manners.
The character of South Carolinians
has stood successfully a severe test
In that the argument of profits has
not appealed to them.
While opposition Of the electors to
the liquor traffic, however, conduct
ed, Is written first as the verdict, the
secondary verdict is that the dispen-
sary plan Of controlling the traffic
IS failure. Nine years ago the peo-
pie spoke their disapprobation of the
state dispensary. The county dispen-
saries have proved infinitely less evil
than was that disgraceful institution,
but they have been weighed and
found wanting. 1t may be set down
as sure that not sgain will South
Carolina consent to the wedlock of
government and whiskey. The thing
was never accomplished, in 1892, by
consent Of the people. They were
tricked into 1t, and, though the road
OF escape was long and weary, they
are at last free of it for all time.
The State does not risk saying that
prohibition Is the final Solution of
the whiskey question:" but the vote
yesterday leaves for The State and
for honest, manly citizens who
would have this South Carolina a fit
place for themselves and their chill
dren to live in but one thing to do,
and that is to uphold the law. If any
honest man there be who thinks that
he can not live where the khiskey
traffic is outlawed, he owes 1t to him !
self to go, and stand not upon the
order of his going, to some land
where 1t Is lawful. To remain and
encourage, tacitly or actively, an un-
lawful traffic will be to become |
breaker Of the law. and an enemy of |
the commonwealth.

Lenox, Mass. September 14.-The
Austro-Hungrain ambassador, DR..

Dumba expressed indignation that
the text OF his message to the Austro-
Hungarian minister Of foreign affairs
Baron Burian, already had become
public without his consent of knowl-
edge.
In view "of the situation" he said.
he probably would not make public
the statement Of his position, which
he had in mind to give to the Amer
lean press. He would, however, have
something to say through the Aus
trian press when he reached Vienna.

Kaiser Directs Forces
In Assault on French

european Manager of United Press. J
London Jan. 14.-The kaiser has re-
turned to the firing line in France and
is personally directing the assaults Of
the German forces around Scissors.
This is the Interpretation placed by
British war experts upon the wireless
dispatch received from Berlin in which
reference was made to the presence Of
"the uppermOst war lord" at the front.
"The uppermOst war lord" said the
dispatch, personally witnessed a bril-
liant charge by German infantry when
l 100 French troops were captured.
The reference is regarded as highly
significant by British officials, who see
in the kaiser's presence the beginning
of new German offensive. Some, in
fact profess to see in it second Ger
man drive to Paris, which is only SO
miles south and west of scissors.
Some credence is lent to these the
ories by the undoubted increase in the
German forces at this piont. Fol
several days it has been known the
enemy was concentrating for a re-
newed effort. The German pressure
has been very heavy there and yester
day the official French statement ad'
mitted some ground had been yielded
But until the presence Of the kaiser
was divulged, there was no thought
that the Germans were stalking every
thing serious on the issue.
