1917 IS DANGER =.
YEAR FOR SOUTH
Twenty Million Bales More Likely
Than Twenty Cents a Pound,
Says Hastings.

Atlanta, Ga.-(SpeciaD-T 1917
is a danger year. for the south, and
that there is dynamite in the pres
ent cotton situation for the cotton
growing farmer" are the warning
words used by II. G.. Hastings, presi-
dent OF the Southeastern Fair Asso-
citation and the Georgia Chamber Of
Commerce, in an interview given to
the newspapers here urging farmers
not to increase their cotton acreage.
Eighteen to twenty cent cotton at
planting time in spring." he says, "is
the bait that will lure hundreds OF
thousands Of farmers in the south to
each put in few extra acres, and
should nature smile on the crop as in
1914, we will come nearer a twenty
million bale crop than 20 cents per
pound, for evidence multiplies daily
that they are planting right up to
the graveyard as it is sometimes ex-
| pressed.
"On the Hastings farm we don't ex-
pect to put in an acre more of cotton
than we did last year, because we
think it a time above all others to
play safe. What we will increase to
the limit of our ability will be food,
grain and forage, beef cattle and
hogs.
The safe way is to first supply all
needs OF family and stock from ones
own acres, and then put surplus acre
! age fn cotton. With bread and meat
in hand, and garden producing
steadily through spring, summer and
| fall; with home canned vegetables and
fruits on closet shelves for winter ta-
BILE use; with corn in the crib and hay
and fodder in the barn or stack, the
farmer can be largely independent OF
cotton prices in the fall. The farmer
so provided for is never distressed >
He can sit on his cotton bales with
mind at ease, and sell in his own good
time when prices are right.
with labor comparatively scarce
and fertilizer high, any material in
crease in cotton acreage must nee
essarily be at the expense of food and
grain acres that are in reality far
more responsible for the south's pres
ent prosperity than is Is to 20 cent
cotton.
Memories are short, but wise far
mers need only to look back to 1914
and see the disaster due to too much
| cotton that can't be eaten, and the
lack Of food that one must eat. I re-
peat this year OF 1917, is a danger
year. Any farmer who increases cot
ton acreage and cuts food crop acres
is gambling with the cards stacked
| against him."

Rev. L. s. Shealey has resigned his

Mr.. Shealey has done great work at

served as pastor of the Baptist
church. We shall retain warm place
in our hearts for him in gratitude
for his untiring efforts and profitable
work among this people. No pastor
has been secured to succeed him.
The school has reason to be proud
of its basketball team. Six games
have been played this season and
everyone has been a victory for Lock
hart. This score will show the
strength of the local team. Opponents
of the entire year have made only 81
points. The local lads have scored
79 points during the season. There
are near 300 pupils in the school here.
Seven of these are doing creditable
tenth grade work

KELTON, ROUTE 1.

kelton, Route 1, Dec. 29.-This cool
damp winter weather seems quite Sc
we're after the continued pleasant
weather of last fall. During that
beautiful Indian summer weather one
OF my apple trees produced second
crop of well matured apples; after it
had produced large crop Of nice ripe
apples in the early spring and sum-
mer.
/ was very glad to read in The
Times that Rev. E. w. G.. Humphries
had been promoted from teacher to
general supervisor of Indian schools.
He well deserves the honor and pro-
motion for he will do his honest duty
in any calling. His many friends here
are always pleased to hear from him
and his family.
am happy to see in The Times that
the women of Union have formed an
Equal Suffrage association. 1t will
add much interest to the town and
to all newspapers that publish the pro-
ceedings. wish for them much sue
cess. For many years the women
North, East and West have been using
their influence and money in behalf of
woman suffrage. They have met and
overcome much unjust opposition and
made great success. SO that South
ern women have little more to do than
organize and prepare themselves for
their dear bought national woman's
suffrage.
Equal suffrage for men and women
Is the highest mark of civilization.

NEW HOPE

New Hope, Jan. Our holidays
have passed and now the new year
1917 is with us. We can't realize that
1916 is gone, but we are glad to greet
the new year with new resolutions to
do better and have more success than
before. The holidays passed off very
quietly and peacefully in our COM
munity. Am glad to say we had very
pleasant weather for the holidays, eX-
cept few gloomy, rainy days. The
writer spent the holidays in Green
vile and must say everything there
looked like Christmas and no one
could help but enjoy all that was 60
ing. A merry Christmas was every
where in the air. The children had
their time in shooting fireworks and
enjoying what Santa brought them.
Well rendered examinations at the
schools and church was taken out.
If ever there was city that en-
joyed Christmas it was Greenville for
during the time it was ablaze with
fireworks.
With the new year before us we
hope we can carry through it the
great Christmas spirit and feeling
that will live throughout the year to
come.
Mrs. Wade Palmer and children
spent the holidays with parents, Mr..
and Mrs. J. G. Bishop.
Mr.. Luther Becknell of Both, S. c.,

everybody will come out.
