There was a time when the high in
terest rates now prevailing in New
York would have been Of considerably
more concern to the people of the
south and especially of this section
Things are somewhat more different
now. Most of the South Carolina
banks have all the money they know
what to do with and some Of them can
very we'll afford to lend to the banks
of New York under the rates Of inter-
est prevailing in that great money

mires had been closed for a few days
Governor Fraser declared the mining
region under martial law and took
charge. Then he put the miners at
work at wages and under conditions
very much like those being contended
for and he proposes to keep the thing
up until the matter is finally settled
In the windup he will undertake to give
the mine owners what is coming to
them and in the meantime the people
will have been furnished with coal on
a basis of what seemed right. 1t looks
like highhanded proceeding, OF
course; but then after all it does not
seem inconsistent with the idea that
the natural resources of state belong
to the whole people.

~Reouest to Advertisers

/ The Piedmont requests its regular
advertisers who desire to make changes
in copy to send them to this off1ce the
evening before the day of publication
of the advertisement. The rush OF
business makes it almost imperative
that this be done if changes are to DE
made. The Piedmont will deeply ap-
preciate cooperation in this respect.
The foregoing from the Greenvllle
Piedmont is only repetition of similar
requests being published in other daily
papers throughout the country.
It seems very difficult to teach the
general public two very important
peculiarities about a newspaper. one
is that it is absolutely necessary lor
the newspaper to go TO press at GER
tain hour regardless of anybody or
ANYTHING. and the other is that after
one edition of a paper is issued every
moment: of the: time of the edltorlai
and mechanical forces are required up
to and through the getting out OF the
next issue.
While most advertisers have some
idea of the limitations Of newspaper
mechanical facilities and are willing
70 conform to all reasonable rules, 1t is
not unusual for the publisher 10 DE
called up even after the paper has
gone to press with an inquiry as 10
whether il is too. late to change an
advertisement. .... ..r..
OF course all newspapers contlnue
to handle the freshest news they can
get up to the latest possible moment
before going to press, and sometimes
they stop the press after it has started
to get in matters that appear 10 DE
sufficiently important 20 warrant this
rather difficult procedure.
But the handling of late news Is
possible only after the advertising Is
out of the way, and without some regu-
lation prescribing a certain time py
which advertising copy must be in, no
newspaper could ever hope to get 10
press by any specified time.
There is Of course, a difference be-
tween contract advertising and trans
lent advertising 1t is the contract ad-
yertising that makes the great volume
of the newspapers advertising business
and the copy for that must be IN as
described above. Transient advertising
bv which is meant short notices.
wants" and the like can be taken care
of to a later hour, only because II Is
usually not of large volume and pro-
vision has been made for 1t in ad-
vance.
But transient advertisements are ire
ouently turned down because or COM
ing in so late that they cannot DE
handled without delaying the issue.
The Yorkville Enquirer requires that
chaLees of advertisements be in the
office 10y o'clock p. m. the day pre-
vious to publication and while II ad-
mits that there are times in whlcI
copv can be received and hapdled up
to a later hour, it dares not go beyond
the limit set because of the certainty
of opening floodgates 2f delay that can
no longer be controlled 81 ..".. .

No, we do not know what cotton is
going to do. We believe that most of
the spinners have laid in supplies suf-
ficient to last them several weeks,
probably month or two in some cases,
and that they will show less keenness
to buy for season; but we have no
idea that the crop is anywhere nearly
sufficient to supply the general de-
mand, and all those buyers who let up
a little now will have to come back
later. People who have cotton and no
pressing past due debts can very we'll
afford to rest on their cotton. But
whatever they do, they should not
leave that cotton exposed to the
weather 1t is better to sell now at
present prices than to hold back for
even a certainty of fifty cents than to
leave the cotton unprotected.

Cuban sugar growers who have a big
lot Of sugar in which they already
have tremendous profit, are said to be
holding the sugar until prices get still
higher in the United States That is
the same kind of profiteering that rs
going on all over the world. Cuba
needs American coal and cannot get
along without it. Why is there no way
for America to tell the Cubans they
cannot have coal unless they are will
ing to let their sugar come at reason
able price? There ought to be some
way for the regulation of such matters.

Nj. w. =. Sullivan who, since April
1916. has been president and general
manager of the Charlotte Observer has
retired from the position, and Will leave
Charlotte with his family on account
Of his health. OF course it would not
be fair to give all the credit to Mr..
Sullivan, because there are other very
able men on the paper; but the fact
remains that under Mr.. Sullivan's
management the Observer has made
wonderful prOgreSS-as much progress
as has been made by any other South
ern newspaper within the same length
of time, and the fact that this broad
minded able manager has been forced
to retire by considerations of health, or
otherwise, is a matter of serious regret.
The only change that j.. occurs in the
management because of Mr.. Sullivan'S
retirement is that Mr.. Curtis +. john
son, the vice president, becomes presi-
dent. The personnel of the staff re-
mains the same and the Observer will
continue to be the most excellent
newspaper that il has been for so many
years.

Dakota adopted a rather unusual; but
none the less effective way of handling
the coal strike in his state. 1t is cold
up in North Dakota and it will soon be
colder. The distress that results
from the closing of the mines is even
greater there than elsewhere. The
governor recognized that there were
two sides to the question as to who
was responsible; but at the SAME time
he did not propose to allow any un-
necessary suffering, no matter where
the responsibility lay. SO after the

AS TO TEACHERS CERTIFICATES

OF interest to York county teachers
especially and to school patrons over
the county generally is the announce
mellt that IT is proposed to change the
method Of issuing certificates to school
teachers. Under the present policy the
high school student who passes sue
cessful examination is entitled to the
same kind of certificate as the colleee
gracuate or person who may have had
still higher educational training. John
E. Carroll, county superintendent of
education has been asked by the state
board of education to give his views In
regard to the question Of licensing
teachers and has written j. e. Swearin-
gen, state superintendent OF education
in regard to the matter as follows:
In response to your request l am
submitting q brief expression Of my
views on the question of licensing
teachers: -
There should be central board of
examiners to whom all papers should
be forwarded for grading or rather ex-
amination.
Accompanying the papers of each APP
plicant there should be statement
showing schools attended, degrees re-
ceived or work completed.
This statement should also include
full account OF the applicants teaching
experience, name OF school taught
length of term and salary received Tor
at least five years previous to the date
Of the application for license.
There should be in addition state
ment from some competent source as TO
the applicants personal appearance,
character personality, health, etc.
The license should be based mainly
upon the facts related in the above
mentioned statements. The papers
handed in on examination should not
count for more than 80 points In
possible hundred.
The body of the license itself should
require a copy OF same Win all dP-
plications for positions.
Licenses should be divided, into four
classes say, professional, high school,
intermediate and primary; it being un I.
derstood that professional mcluaeu
the others, etc.
In addition to scholarship the re-
ouirements for a professional license
should include either two years OF nor
NAL school training or at least forty
months of actual experience as d
Graduates Of accredited colleges
should not be required to stand
an examination but should furnish the
statements required of other applicants;
professional and possibly high school
licenses should be issued for an lnde-
finite period. The others should nave
time limit Of five years. -,
Grades as first, second and thira
should not be used. ,,
No county licenses should be issued.
The form of the license shouid pe
charged for convenience sake.
I hope the conference can ADOPT tne
above or any other plan which promises
an Improvement and that we may sue
coed in obtaining the necessary leglsla-

with representatives of Southern cot
ton industry has been in conference
with the department Of agriculture in
regard to an order by the bureau OF

il would lead to a misunderstanding py

The cotton fields are probably clean
er than at this season for many years.
There is still lot of cotton in the
fields to be picked, and some Of it will
remain there until it is plowed under;
but the proportion of cotton that will
be wasted this year is smaller than
ever.
