THE AWFUL "SHIMMY."

Ill fares the land, to Fastening ills
a prey, where wealth accumulates, -
etc., wrote Oliver Goldsmith many
years ago. From reading the Ben
nettsville paper we judge it to be as
true today as Of old. Along with
prosperity there has come to Bennetts-
Vile the effete "shimmy." Our early
education having been sadly neglect
ed, we are not familiar with the
'shimmy,'' but from what our esteem
ed contemporary has to say of it, we
fear it is worse than the automobile
or boil weevil.
All of which goes to show that high
priced cotton and high-priced land
and general prosperity are not un-
mixed evils.

COTTON NEWS.

That the American Cotton Associa-
ton is working along practical lines is
clearly demonstrated by the fact that
it has arranged sale ofor 100000
bales of off-grade cotton at prices
ranging around and above current
quotations for the best cotton. The
farmers have had many organizations
All of them have doubtless done some
good, but the Cotton Association is
the only one which has ever pretend
ed to take up the great problem of
marketing. We are glad that the as
first undertaking of the kind. The
fruit growers of the West and in Flor
ida have had great success with their
marketing associations and there is
no reason why the cotton farmer can
not do the same. This, however, is
only part of the work Of the cotton
association. Another is the dissenlina-
ton of correct information among
cotton growers. For this purpose the
South Carolina Division has begun the
monthly paper which will be devoted
to the interests of the cotton raiser.
The first issue of the paper, just from
the presses of The Dispatch-N News, is a.
five-column, four-page paper contain
ing some splendid articles. The paper
is the official organ of the South Caro-
lima Branch of the American Cotton
Association. 1t will prove of great
value to the farmers

The Question Of Teachers Salaeie

The Question Of Teachers Salaries
Our school teachers should be adj
eauateiy paid. Readers Of the Journal
are aware that this paper has all
along favored that policy. likewise
has insisted that whatever be paid
Gtness should be the prime requisite.
should be insisted on at whatever
cost. The formative influences exert
ed by the teacher on the child are
such that anything less than this
would be absolute folly; indeed we
know OF none who would favor any
other course.
1t is equally demonstrate that
method should be employed in con-
Quoting the affairs Of municipal gov
eminent A budget system is regard
ed an excellent feature, but a budget
system requires some basis on which
to function For instance. the teach
ers in this city were considered in
the budget Tor this year. That con-
sideFation included an increase In
pay. The board voted one to two hun
dred dollars per annum increase and
this was further increased at the
May meeting by approximately 10 per
cent. 1t is understood that most Of
the teachers were satisfied with the
first arrangement. Contracts were
made with the teachers, with very
few exceptions, for the year ending
June, 1920, and the budget was made
Up for that year. Now a petition is
eaid to be in circulation for an in
crease of four hundred dollars for
each teacher to take effect immedi-
uteiy. This would add $4,000 to the
AK. would set the budget at naught.
If you had plenty Of money and
this were Your individual affair you
might incline to generosity: but, If.
