Suggestions BY Weist that the boun-
earies be definitely established at that
meeting were waived by the council
Weist said that he would like TO see
the matter settled mo matter what
councilman shall have TO so, and he
said he regretted the fact that they
are afraid OF their little jobs and will
keep this mess waiting in vain hopes
that they might find some way to re-
tain their positions.
An offer of the county to purchase
IA city asphalt plant was heard. The
council authorized the sale of the plant
for $4,000.
Hospital Fec Discussed.
An ordinance, drawn by Councilman
Schunke, authorizing the city health
officer to collect from patients in the
city isolation hospital $3.50 day for
al the time they are confined there

stood that the persons confined there
were liable to pay that amount. and
thought we ought to try to get the
money before they close the hospital
next week"
"What if they haven't got money
enough to pay that?" Utter asked.
"Of course if they haven't got the
money" Sehunke explained, we won't
ask them for it.
There was no provision in the ordi-

vidual from paying.

A SMART GIRL

. Over at Agnes Scott College Sat-
urday we were told a good story.
One of the seniors had invited the
members of the faculty, their fami-
lies, and their kindred among the
college girls to reception. The
roommate of the senior was there
of course, but she is not related to
any member of the faculty. The
night watchman-st the college is
name Starr. One of the amusements
at the reception was the calling on
each of the invited students for the
name of the member of the faculty
to whom she is related and the
name by which she called her rela-
tive. All told and then they asked
the roommate of the host, to whom
she is related. She promptly an
swered, "Mr. Starr" And what do
you call him." to which she as
promptly answered, "Uncle Twink
le."

SWAMPS
CLEMSON FL TO

Clemson College, Oct. 16.-The
Tigers met the Tigers on Riggs field
here this afternoon and the Tigers
from Auburn emerged victors by the
score of FL to 0. The game was clos
er than the score indicates as the
teams we're very evenly matched.
Fumbles were frequent for both sides
and only few forward passes were
completed, although many were tried
by both sides. The entire Auburn
5ackfield did stellar work and their
line, known as the heaviest in the
world, held at all times. The individ-
al stars were Shirling, Stubs and
olinger. The attendance was very
large and the weather was good.

WOULD HAVE COTTON
HELD SIXTY DAYS
Commissioner of Agriculture In Ala.
bama Issues Appeal To Farmers

Montgomery, Ala, Oct. 17.-Cau-
ing attention to the fact that cotton,
12O days ago was selling at 40
cents per pound, while today only
20 cents is offered, Miles c. AL
good, state commissioner Of agricul-
ture and industries, today issued a
statement urging cotton planters to
stay out of the markets with their
crop for a period of 60 days.
Contrasting present prices and
those paid four months ago in con-
nection with the 100000 bale
cotton crop of 1920, the commits
sioner pointed out loss in values Of
$1,000, 100000, which he asserted,
was enough to bankrupt any section
of the country. That cotton cost "a
cents per pound, to. sproduce, based
on questionnaires sent broadcast
over Alabama, at least, was an as
sertion of the commissioner, who de-
clared that spectators are asking
the cotton planter to feed and clothe
themselves and work eight months
for nothing.
With the mills holding the sup
plies sufficient for operation go
days longer, the statement said, it
behooves the farmer to stay out of
the market for that length of time

FINANCING COTTON

: Just now a corporation is being or
ganized in the state for the purpose Of
disposing of the cotton of this Sec
tion to foreign countries. The
mills in many European countries are
idle and have been idle for sometime
because they have no funds with
which to buy American cotton. The
new company being organized will
have for it's purpose the selling of
this cotton direct to these mills, and
the receiving in exchange for it the
products of these other countries,
which over here may be converted in
to cash.
The purpose of the corporation is
not confined to marketing cotton eth
er. The purpose is to find and keep
stable market for corn, tobacco,
meat, peanuts and other products of
the South.
There never was time when such
an organization was more needed. If
the new company. shall be able to do
even a small part of what it might
do it will be worth while. AS we have
pointed out before, there is too much
loss in the transmission of products
from the producer to the consumer.
The charges Of everybody who ham
dies these products are passed back
along the line to the producer, or for
ward along the line to buyer. Some
body pays the freight and it is gener-
ally Jones, and if it is not Jones it is
Smith, and most of US are either Of
the Jones family or of the Simth fam
lily.
If this company when organized
shall be manned by officers of large
business experience and of sound
judgment it will 60 long ways to-
wards solving some of our troubles.
But there are other things which
We in the South must learn. The
principal thing we need to learn and
to do:is to finance ourselves. We
have been through several years of
unprecedented prosperity. 1t would
have been easy for the people of the
South to have held a portion of their
money, just as they now, are holding
a portion of their cotton. With plen-
tyo money in the banks there would
be no reason now why we should not
hold our cotton. We could carry it
ourselves.
But while we have been making we
have been spending. When farmer,
merchant, lawyer or doctor made two
or three thousand dollars either out
Of his business, or in a fortunate
: trade, instead of putting the money
in the bank and keeping it there
where it would be of service to the
people here at home, he has general
ly invested it in a new automobile
and sent the money off to Detroit, or
in fine farm machinery without
which in the past has been able to
farm, or he has bought Grand Rapids
furniture, Texas Oil stocks, oriental
rugs, or something else which has
had the effect of taking the money
away from the South to some other
section, where it is now either out of
circulation, or as good as out of cir
culation, so far as we are concerned.
There is nothing which takes the
place of ready money when the pinch
es come. Oil stocks, automobiles, good
furniture and these other things are
not worth a cent when they are pay
ing no money and will produce none.
We suppose it would be too much
to hope that any of US in this section
would ever have any real foresight,
but little foresight twelve months
ago would have, been worth. about a
mile of hindsight Just now.

THE HOOVER BoMBsHELL

AS might have been expected. the bomb
which Herbert Hoover dropped into the
Democratic camp a few days ago has
caused something akin to panic Led
by The New York World and The New
York Times. the Democratic press has
rushed to the defense Of Wilson and the
party in general against what they
we'll realize is one OF the most deadly
thrusts OF the campaign.
Hoover said: The present administra-
tion has made failure by all the tests
that we can apply He also referred to
the Democratic party as "demoralized"
and "disinte grated" and declared that it
should be relieved OF all national power.
as the penalty Of its incapacity.
Instead Of trying TO show that Hoover
Is mistaken. The World and Tho Times
have resorted to personal attacks, which
leads to the suspicion that they are des-
perate and can find nothing else to do.
Tho World questions Mr.. Hoovers
ability to judge OF what the Democratic
party has done. The Times attacks the
state Of his mind as conscience" Yet
The World thought 50 much OF Hoover
ability, Judgment and character that
it supported him with all It's power for
the nomination for Presidency. The
Times, too. had endorsed Mr.. Hoover
time after time In the strongest terms.
Do a mans character. judgment and
ability change over night?
