VI No matter how little you make, II
you save some Of it, you are getting
ahead. - s
No rlatter how much you make, II
you waste it, you are going backward.
Every, man who has ever. got any
where worth while in an honorable
way, and there is no other way to get
anywhere worth while, has found that
the saving of his first hundred dollars
was more difficult than the saving >of
his next.nine hundred.
Any man who thinks that the mere
accumulation of money is the chief
end of life. or even an honorable
worthwhile occupation, is a fool; the
same kind of a fool as the man who
wastes all he can get as fast as he
can get his hands on it. ,E
THE correct rule with regard to
money is to provide for reasonable
needs, and to spend the surplus in a
way in which you will still have it.
This last proposition includes the
discharge of all really worthy duties
in the way of service to other indi-
viduals in particular and the world in
general.

Chester today and tomorrow
John r. Hart, Esq, has returned to
Yorkville after spending several days
in Boston and other points cast on
business. People throughout the east,
according to Mr.. Hart are evidencing
more interest in the steel strike and
the great industrial unrest now per-
vading the country than are those in
this section. Everybody is publish"
so far as the cotton market Is con-
lcerned and are firm in the belief that
the price is going much higher.
The following from the Columbia
State wifi be of interest here: Joseph
Walker of, Hollowell & Walker came
Ito Columbia from Yorkville IN 1901.
| A fairly clear idea of his financial con-
dition on arrival In Columbia may be
arrived at by considering the fact
that he accepted a position In b tur-
niture store at O. salary Of $3.50 per
week. But furniture wasn't in, Mr.
Walkers line and after two weeks ex-
| perience on $3.50 per. he went with
W. Z. Smith, &c company and began
buying cotton ION the street. He
stayed with this firm two seasons and
then went with the M. G. Heath COM
papy. During two years he was on a
| a salary and then was made MEM
ber of the firm and continued as such
| for IL years. In 1917 Mr.. Walker
| formed the firm of Hollowell &
Walker and last season handled 65.-
600 bales of cotton. In August, 1919
Mr.. Walker was elected member OF
1.-THE New York cotton exchange and

Digest may as well make up its mind

arc inclined to think that the Digest is

been impossible to get among the

stand for that fool phonetic spelling

us, however, that at the price every

much of it, the borrower. imposes on
tho good nature and convenience OF
the lender more sthan he is warranted
in doing. 1t necessarily takes II

Saturday morning and Mr.. Hamhright
said that he was well pleased with the

While it is customary for NUMBER OF

THE YORK COUNTY FAIR.

Wednesday was rather d poor day
at the York County fair at Rock Hill
and so was Thursday. 1t was because
OF, the weather, mainly. The weather
was forbidding on Friday morning;
but Friday was school day, and the
people who had been held back on
Wednesday and Thursday would be
held back no longer. The attendance
during Friday mounted up into the
thousands. II was great day.
The representative OF The Enquirer
did not get to the fair until about
1880 o'clock Friday afternoon. He
went with party in a Ford, and
when he arrived, he came. upon
scene that was Interesting. All the
vacant space for several hundred
yards on either side of the main en-
trance was packed with automobiles
and buggies. There were automobiles
and buggies all around the big en-
closure. The roadway leading to the
main entrance was alive with We
hicles. going and coming. At times
It was blocked, so narrow was the
passage and so great was the press.
There was mud. mud. mud, red mud,
everywhere but along this road; but
packed by the thousands OF feet, and
the rubber tires, the road itself was
almost like asphalt. y
Inside the gates were great crowds
of people from the country Immediate
Iy surrounding and from all parts OIL
the county. All the school children
were not there, of course. There were
not nearly so many as there would
bave been had the weather been less
threatening during the morning. bul
SO far as the crowd was concerned, IL
did not show the lack. And the Win
throp girls were there, hundreds OIL
them, possibly a thousand of them.
But It was not children's crowd
or even young peoples crowd.
Farmers, business and professional
men, all kinds of folks were In evil
dence, and they were in evidence In
force.
1t was wonderfully we'll temper
ed crowd too. The people were there
to, see the exhibits, the races. the
shows. and above all to see each
other. Everybody was pleased with
everything, and most people were es-
pecially we'll pleased with the fine
showing that York county is able to
make in the way of variety and quail
ty of farm products, improved live
stock, fine chickens, manufactured ar
ticles, ETC., and, as remarked before,
people-men and women, most OF
them well dressed and apparently
prosperous. some of them handsome.
some of them pretty, some of them
beautiful, all of them courteous,
friendly and sociable.
The shows included the usual mis-
ccllaneous collection.

Agricultural Department Dodgos
ssional neutrality-suspicious.

Congressional observation-disclosures
tative j. f. Byrnes was advised by the
agricultural department last Saturday
that, in making revised report on
the cotton crop in accordance with his
resolution passed by congress last
week, the new report will not make an
estimate Of the size of this years
crop.
This revised report is to he issued
next Saturday. 1t will give the aver
age condition of the crop, but that is
all. This will be dropping back to
the form of crop reports back to the
the form of crop reports prior to 1915.
1t was the expectation of congress
when the resolution was passed that
it would call forth an estimate OF yield
of cotton as well as condition state
mcnt, but officials of the agricultural
department say estimates on produc-
ton are based on estimates of the
previous year, and as they have nc
estimates made in October, they are
without the necessary data to make
the complete report desired by con-
gress. When the revised report is is
sued on Friday the trade will have

Tn. Great Labor Problem.

The differences between employer
and employees which have been in ex-
istence since the beginning of time
have not been settled and they will
not be settled during this generation.
The only possible basis of settle
ment satisfactory to both sides Is jus
tice and even that will not be salts
factory to everybody because th9re
are people on both sides who don't
want Justice and there are people on
both sides who do not want to be
satisfied. 81. .a>
All men of real intelligence on both
sides know that things never have
been right, and they are not right
now; also that they will not be right
for n long time to come.
There are very few reasonably well
informed people who are especially
surprised at the present situation, be-
cause they know that the always pre-
sent dissatisfaction and unrest ever
becomes more acute everywhere fol-
lowing the conditions of the past five
years.
People who feel themselves perman-
emily established in plenty, ease and
authority naturally favor the status
quo, and people who aspire to plenty,
ease and authority just as naturally
seek and work for readjustment.
AS the result of the mighty over
turn growing out of the great war,
perceptibly and imperceptibly there is
going on "a worldwide readjustment
that is making substitutions in the
seats Of the mighty, and the efforts of
those that have those seats to hold
them, and those that have not got
them to secure them, is what is maxi
ing the present Widespread strife.
At bottom it looks like a vain,
selfish struggle. or rather a struggle
Of selfshness; but there is very little
reason to protest against it because it
has always been sd and it will always
bo so.
The impossibility OF securing indus
trial peace under a social and eco
nomic system that is based upon
greed and gain is as obvious as is
the fact that even Christianity, the
only real remedy that has ever been
offered can never be successfully ap-
piled until each opposing party in
every quarrel can be brought to
realize that the rules here imposed
apply to him in exactly the same
measure as to his opponent.

The world is on the verge of cot
ton famine, and the high prices that
are being asked for the manufactured
product are in full keeping, with the
entire situation except the present
nrice of the raw material. Raw cot
ton is not now bringing anything like
its real value, owing to discriminatory
manipulation: but the probability is
that at least two or three million bales
of the cotton now in the hands Of the
growers will bring more than SO cents
a pound.
