CHESTERFIELD TIGHTENS
LID ON OFFENDERS

At a meeting of the Chesterfield
Town Council held last Monday an
ordinance was passed that should be
of more than passing interest TO some
of the inhabitants and to some of
those who do not live here but select
this place as a safe one in which to
do their drinking and loafing.
The new ordinance making it un-
lawful for a person under the influ-
ence of liquor to drive an automobile
on the town streets came as the re-
suit of several smash-ups recently
that were attributed to the reckless
ness of intoxicated drivers. The first
offense is punishable by fine of from
$1,000 to $4,000.
Officers are instructed to take up al
drunks and vagrants and they are
warned by Mayor Trotti that thei,
jobs depend on their carrying out
these instructions.

REDUCTION DAY
GOVERNOR COOPER SETS ASIDE
FIRST MONDAY
Calls On All South Carolinians To
Reduce Acreage And Diversity
fCrops

Columbia, Dec. 2O.-Governor
Cooper today set aside Monday Jan
uary 8, as cotton acreage reduction
day" in South Carolina. In doing so
he issued statement in which he de-
clared that it is stincumbent upon the
cotton states tottake intelligent cogni-
zance of the situation with reference
to raw cotton and see to it that the
market does mot remain glutted
throughout another season."
In calling UPON the South Caro-
linians to devote their best thought on
January 3, to meeting the situation
which at present they find themselves
in, the governor was complying with
request made9by the South Carolina
Division of the esAmerican Cotton AS
sociation. SimilAr action has been TAX
en- by the governors of the other cot
ton growing states of the nation.
The proclamation issued by the
Governor follows:
"The South Carolina division of the
American Cotton Association has re-
quested that designate the first Mon
day in January as cotton acreage re-
duction day in South Carolina. 1
gladly comply with this request. For
the time being the markets of the
world are not absorbing raw cotton,
and one cannot3tell how long it will
be before the staple will again bring
a profitable price to the grower. 1t is
certain that large supply of cotton
VIII be carried over from the present
crop. If in 192f1there is added to this
carry over another large yield the
prlce will againsbe distressingly low.
1t is, therefore, as a matter of eco
nomlc self-preservation, incumbent
upon the cotton states to take intelli-
gent cognizanceiof the situation with
reference to raw cotton and see to it
that the market does not remain glut-
ted throughout another season.
"Our escape from the unhappy pre-
dlcament in which we now find our:
selves lies in the:production of great
er quantities of food and feed crops
Mere reduction Of cotton acreage, by
itself, is not thorough solution-it
is but half of the process necessary tc
liberate' US from the one-crop bond
age.
--..In.-ths- --l;Gbssaf thea xitnatioa.-a a,
suggested above, 1 proclaim the frs
Monday in January, 1921, as Cottor
Acreage Reduction Day for this stat,
and | urge that upon that day al
South Carolinians devote their bes
thought to the situation, and resolv,
to meet it, and to prevent repitior
of it, by united action"
(Signed)
r. A. Cooper,
Governor.

A CITIZEN PROTESTS
Editor The Advertiser:

Editor The Advertiser:
l have been thinking for sometim,
; of giving public expression, through
your paper to my thoughts by way OF
protest against the conditions of oul
town in relation to the liquor traffic
1t must be apparent to all thinking
persons and especially those who have
the welfare of the community at
heart, that some steps must be taken
to stop the illegal traffic in blockade
whiskey and other vile concoctions
in the sale of which those guilty of
violating the law, have become so
bold that drunkenness is in evidence
on our streets nearly every day in the
week, to shame and disgrace us as a
law-abiding people.
Where does the fault lay? Who is
responsible for present conditions? Is
it not that spirit of lawlessncss is
abroad in the land, and that greed of
gain has so dulled the moral consci-
ence of some that neither the fear Of
the laws of God or man have any de-
terent effect upon them.
Do they not find ready assistance
in those who are willing to buy their
products and shield the offender by
their silence and support?
Is not the moral consciousness of
the entire community so dulled to the
extent of this evil and fear of criti-
cism, that they would rather endure
these violations than make active pro
test and thus cmbolden the lawless?
Again, does not some of the shame
of this condition of things rest upon
the failure of constituted authority to
rigidly enforce the law against this
class of evil doors? 1t is true that
they are handicapped to large ex-
tent by the Indifference of the entire
community
Cannot a public consciousness to
this evil be awakened, that the GER
tainty of punishment shall prevent the
illicit sale of intoxicants in our town
Will not you, Mr.. Editor, through
your paper ally yourself with the
community for better and cleaner
| citizenship?
| Citizen.

LOADING COTTON
FOR GERMANY

The steamship Hawaiian is now be-
ing loaded at Charleston with car
go of cotton for Bremen, Germany.
While only about 900 bales will be
taken on this voyage the event is an
important one to the cotton growing
states as it marks the first shipment
of cotton to foreign countries made
by the American Export Corporation.
1t is stated that very satisfactory
terms were made with the agents of
the German mills and that much more
cotton is needed by that country. Po-
land and Czecho Slovakia are both
bidding for cotton from the American
Export company and many large ship
ments will soon be made. Low grade
cotton is acceptable to the foreign
mills and very little of good grade is
being shipped.

The bankers of our country sure
ly have enough work cut out for them
at present to keep them all doing some
honest-to-goodness thinking, but there
is one job that they cannot afford to
neglect The Southern planter and
farmer who has made up his mind to
plant less cotton next year and plant
more grains and grasses and buy a
few pure-bred hogs, must be fnanc-
ed for few months until his first
crop Of pigs are ready for the buyer.
There is no surer method of leveling
up things for the South than by in
ducing hundreds of farmers who do
not even raise their own meat, to buy
one or two or three pure-bred sows
and raise hogs the coming year. We
believe the banks are alive to the stu
alton and many of them have been
loyal helpers along this line, and we
are sure many others will be if they
are approached in the right spirit by
the right men. Bankers are more than
human and give credit hundred of
times where sentiment alone prompts.
They are unit for building their own
locality up, not only from selfish
standpoint, but from pride in their
own town and country. Hogs will
build where others have failed.
