SELLING COTTON.

1t seems 20 US that the farmers
have struck on the right plan in the
effort to finance the cotton crop by
the organization Of the export cor
poration. There are lots of people
who need clothes, not only in this
country, but in countries where they
do not grow cotton, and if the farmer
could open trade relations with these
peoples there would be market and
demand for all the cotton we could
grow at a profitable price. Every
farmer should be willing to lend his
help and his money or his cotton in
the financing of this corporation.
And the proposition is not only to
finance the cotton crop but other
crops as well.
And this corporation should sell
direct to. the people who need and
want our cotton and other products,
and not go through England but dl-
rect to Belgium and Germany and
France and the other countries. Why
should Liverpool fix the price of cot
ton and make the big profits out OF 1t
instead of the producer. There IS
need of cooperation along the line OF
raising the capital and financing the
e
cotton crop and if this is given there
will be no need to reduce the acre
age. but the world will take all we
make, because it needs all the cotton
we can grow.
And another thing all of US should
learn, and that is to finance our
selves. There is no doubt that the
high prices and the great prosperity
which came to US from these high
prices that we all lived too rapidly
and spent too rapidly, otherwise we
could have been better prepared for
the present conditions. We spent as
fast as we made and the result is
there is cry of hard times here and
ahead. but. no one should become
panic stricken because this is too
great a country of ours to fear any
thing bad, but we need now to hus-
band our resources and to get down
to business. 1t will all come out
right and the lesson will be valu-
able one if we just profit by it.

dren here, and the people are
aroused to the Importance of a good
school. They need new building
for the school and it is to be hoped
that this district may decide to unite
with Big Creek and establish z fine
school. The two schools would
have about 200 children and should
have lot of ten or 20 acres and
a teachers house on the grounds.
Mr.. Wessinger, the principal, is in
need of house in which to live right

On the streets, in the stores, at the

Do they receive real physical help

Mark Twain once said about the
weather that everybody talked about
it but nobody did anything about it.
So with Newberry and the Faith Doc
tor. Everybody is talking about him
but nobody does anything, and he
continues gathering in the shekels OF
the inhabitants Of this town and
county If he is giving full value IN
exchange for the money paid in
we'll and good-for "a fair exchange
is no robbery" and money is of no
value except as means to secure the
needs and desires of mankind-but is
he? Who can tell? 1t seems he came
to us from Columbia, which city $50
says Dame Rumor) had been trying
to rid herself of him because he had
unduly prolonged his stay in that
Metropolis, living like a parasite
: upon the credulity of the more un-
fortunate portion of the populace.
Probably the worthy gentleman who
permitted the doctor to address the
! citizens of Newberry in the court
house, public building, made some
Investigations about the authenticity
of this gentleman's claims. He may
have most valuable testimonials or
references or other proofs which
testify uncuestionably to his charac-
ter and ability as a healer of the sick.
If so we would like to know it and
thereby satisfy our doubtful minds.
If not, however, if on the contrary
he be a fraud and clever sWlndler
! who skilfully plies his trade without

disrcgarding the spirit-what then!

O'NeslI.

The school at O'Neall opened on
Monday with Mr.. Alden Pugh as
principal and Mrs. Boozer and Mrs.
Hayes as assistants. There was ve:y
good attendance on the opening day
and a number of the patrons and
friends of the school were also pres
ent. l drove down on Monday
morning and had asked Mr.. 7. ..
Wicker to go with me, which he I'D.
He taught at this place several years
ago. In fact it was his first school
teaching after his graduation at
Newberry. We reached there OF
time and addresses were made by
E. H. Aull, T. E. Wicker and 7. NJ.
Mills, another teacher at this sch hooi
and one time pupil. Mr.. Lo2g,
for the trustees, assured the teach
ers of the hearty cooperation of the
trustees. This was one of the fist
schools in the county to inaugurate
years ago the custom of having ex-
hibitions at the close of the school
and they helped very much to create
the school spirit, and it has lag
been one of the fine rural schools OF
the county. But recently the dis
trict has voted on eight mills tax
and will qualify under the equalizing
law for state aid.
Mr.. Mills and Mr.. Wicker bota
gave some interesting facts in con-
nection with the history of the
school and gave encouragement to
teachers and pupils. Mr.. Mills tol3
how the school had grown from log
school house away back yonder to
the nice one room house and then
two rooms and now to three rooms,
and how the people of the comman-
ity had always felt a just pride IL
their school, and of the young r2ea
and young women who had gone out
from the school on to college and
into the various vocations and had
succeeded.
Mr.. Wicker told me, though he
didn't mention in his talk to The
school, that when he went there he
thought he should work, and that ho
'stook in" ABOUT 8 o'clock in the
morning and had a noon recess and
stturned cut" at 5 O'Clock in the aft
ernoon. That when December cam
along 5 o'clock was very near oar.i
and that one day he received a rotc
from one of the patrons which RAJ
about like this: ''You can keep tn i:
other chaps at the school all nj IN;
if you want tc: but please send my
chaps home at o'clock sharp" He
said he took the hint and turned oUs
school after that at o'clock sharp.
Il does sound strange in this cay
may be to some, but in the d..yS
gone, school did keep in most Of the
day. and there was some work beng
done.

if they could see the advantage OF
uniting the three school districts IN

and have land enough with the
school to build the teachers home

would be economy for those VINO
have children, and be a great bless
ing to the children, and their interest
should be our first concern. Wonder
what the people would say abou:
building one good school for O'Neall,
Saluda and Monticello somewhere
near enough to make the school ac-
cessible to all the children, and even
if some of them had little further
to 60 than the others what bless
inc it would be for them, and how
much better than to have to &c
abroad to 60 to school. And l have
an intimation that there is a man
who owns land down that side who
would make a contribution of ten
acres for that purpose, and the land
happens to be so situated that the
location would be easily accessible to
all the children. But first we want
to decide that we will build the
school. Will the people think about
this proposition? 1t is in the inter
est of the children that am speak

II of this year they buried-a young
soldier boy, believing that it was the
body of their son, George Schilling,
who died in France, when it was that
of a son of another Iowa family.
The unusual circumstance is due to
the fact that two young men with the
name of George Schilling, both from
IOwa, We're in the world war. Fur
thermore, these young men, one from
Greene county and one from Lyon
county, left here the same day, July
26, 1918, both were taken sick and
both died in the same hospital in
Brest, France, within "a hours OF
each other, one dying October 7 and
the other on October 8.
How it happened that both bodies
were not sent home at the same time
is not known. The body sent to the
Greene county family reached home
and was buried April IL, the largest
funeral ever held there being giver
in honor of the young man. Las
week the body of the other Schillini
youth reached New York and it wa!

TO RECLAIM
LOW LANDS
SANBORN COUNTY PLANS BIG
DRAINAGE SYSTEM.

WoOnsocket, July 19.-This sec
system of bitches and tiling that will
make it one OF the garden spots of
the state.
For three years there has been
very heavy rainfall This season
thousands of acres of best land is
covered with water and farmers have
not been able to cultivate their corn
fields properly.
Arrangements were made during
the winter months to do a lot of road
highway, but owing to frequent
heavy rains, not much could be ac-
cOmplished
The county commissioners went
after the drainage proposition in "a
practical way. They had a survey
made by a reputable engineer. The
engineer recently brought in a re
port and estimate of the cost at a
meeting of the commissioners at
which there were at least 200 inter
ested parties. The estimated cost at
that time was about $1,000, 900.
After going into the matter carefully
il was agreed that this estimate could
be reduced materially and at the
same time secure all necessary and
perfect drainage. AS a result of the
meeting the engineer will revise his
figures. He will confer with several
quent meeting will submit a revised
report.
The proposed system will affect
about $4,000 acres of land and many
miles of highways.
