PLAYING POLITICS.

Governor Cooper, in his address at
Erskine College Tuesday, spoke of
the republicans in the United States
playing politics. There is no doubt
that the indictment which he drew
was true, and he knows from expe-
rience how to draw an indictment.
But why confin, i.''iictE'tn, to
the republican party? Why lay all
the blame on that party? Why did he
not tell his audience that the demo-
Gratis, too, have been playing poll
tics? Why did he not tell the people
that the representatives sent to con-
gress Ito the House and Senate
ahke) do little but play politics. Why
did he not tell his audience that these
so-called representatives no longer
seek to serve the country but seek
only to serve their party in the next
election? Why did he not tell the
people that the man in congress
nowadays who votes his convictions
on any subject, and Goes not take
dictation from a dictator, or a eau
Gus as the case may be, is branded
as traitor and as unworthy to
serve the country?
Governor Cooper might have told
his audience that the South would be
better off we're it to quit the demo-
cratic party for an independent par
ty of it's own, to which any white
man in good standing might belong
and in which he or any representative
of the people might advocate any
measure, or oppose any measure ac-
cordn. rly as he believed it to be for
the betterment of the country on the
one hand, or against the interests of
she country on the other. He might
have told his hearers that we have
played the game of politics for the
benefit of few people who want

WEATHER FOR WEEK
BETTER FOR COTTON
Crop Makes Fairly Satisfactory Pro
gress, Says Government Bulle-
tin From Department.

Washington, June 3.-With the ex
ception of certain areas in the more
Eastern districts and the extreme
portion of the belt,
weather conditions during the week
ending June 1 were more favorable
for cotton and the crop made fairly
progress, according to
the weekly weather and crop bulletin
of the department of agriculture. 1t
was too cool the first paft of the
week in the Eastern sectibn and too
cool and wet in the Northwest.
"Growth was retarded in North
Carolina by cool nights and more
moisture is needed in that state; but
a general improvement was reported
from South Carolina although the
nights were too cool for best growth
the bulletin said.
"Planting was nearly competed in
Georgia, and while progress of the
crop has been fair, the plants are
small and the stands irregular. Pro-
gress was fairly good in Alabama, but
the crop continued in only poor to
fair condition in that state, while ex.
tensive replanting was reported in
Arkansas and the stands are gener.
ally good, while very gooc advance

was made in Louisiana. Cotton made
only poor growth in Oklahoma on
account of deficient sunshine and wet
soil but growth was fairly good in
Texas, where the condition continues
only poor to fair. Much complaint of
grassy field was received from some
of the Eastern Gulf States and weevil
are becoming numerous in southern
Alabama and Georgia"

THE ABBEVILLE SCHOOLS.

The people of Abbeville will be in
terested to know that the Depart
ment of Education in Columbia has
allowed the graduates of the High
School credit for seventeen units,
two more than is necessary to enter,
unconditional, any of the institutions
of learning in the State.
= The proper support of the schools
here is requiring a considerable out
lay of money, but we are persuaded
that the people who pay the taxes
will not complain when they know
that we are getting proper results.
There is no reason why Abbeville's
schools should be second to the
schools in any other town or city in
the state. We boast OF being an edu-
Gated people, and we should have
enough interest in the cause of edu-
cation to see that our schools do not
occupy second place anywhere.
Much of the credit for the stand
ing of the schools is due to the ef-
6cient organization work of the pres
ent Superintendent; much is due to
the splendid teaching force which
he has employed; and a great deal
to those who have supported him 10y
ally. And we should remember that
no man can do his 5,st in one year.
The schools will be strengthened in
their work and usefulness in this
community in proportion 20 the SUP
port and encouragement given the
superintendent in his efforts to
strengthen the teaching force and
broaden the work the schools are
now doing.
The schools here have been re-
garded in the past as not altogether
creditable to US. But that is no
reason now why we should not make
them the most highly regarded In
the state. We can if we will. And we
will if we stand behind Major Fulp.

SUFFRAGE LOSES
DELAWARE FIGHT

Legislature Adjourns Without
Taking Action-Al Efforts
Fail
Dover, Del, June 3.-Despite the
appeal of President Wilson and 9TH
er national Democratic and Repub-
lican leaders for the ratification Of
the woman suffrage amendment,
the Delaware legislature adjourned
sine die today with the ratification
resolution still in the house commit
tee of the whole, to which it was re-
ferred last Friday. Shortly before
adjournment a motion by Repre-
sentative Lyon majority floor
leader to- force the house into
committee of the whole to consider
the resolution was defeated "a to

The legislature was called in spe-
cial session by Governor Townsend
March % to ratify the suffrage a.
mendment, which action would
have given the women the right to
vote. There were many spirited
contest during the ten weeks that
the fight lasted.
Early in the session the ratifica-
ton resolution was defeated by the
house. Undaunted by this setback,
suffrage leaders started a statewide
campaign for a change of senti-
ment. Speakers were sent into
nearly every section of the state
and petitions were circulted urging
favorable action. National political
leaders and others threw their
strength to the suffrage cause and
succeeded in obtaining favorable
action by the senate on May 5.
Leaders in the house opposed to
suffrage today received kilograms
from President Wilson urging
every Democrat in the house to
vote for the resolution, but this, as
we'll as the pleas of other leaders, !
met with failure. |

GOING DOWN? ? /?

According W pIeCcP1 oho SApCAi-
ence, the cost of living ought to
have begun to fall long ago. The
curve always upward in war time,
went down, after the two previous
greatest wars of modern history, al
most Immediately after the cessa->
tion of hostilities. In England, fol-
lowing the long struggle against
Napoleon, it fell steadily for four
decades until it reached point a
third below the pre-war level.
Prices in this country more than
doubled during the civil war, but
began to fall few months after
Lees surrender, and fell steadily
with few Interruptions until 1896,
reaching their pre-war level be,
tween 1880 and 1885.
AS our war has been accompanied
by revolutionary upheavals which
paralyzed production, by decline
in the morale of labor which limited
output, and by the complete ex.
haustion of important industrial
areas, a more serious r effect on
world prices had to be expected.
But prices could not be kept up
forever after the principal uplift'
ing cause had subsidized. We have
been passing through a period of
credit and currency initiation. Dur
ing the past year, as banking pub
lication recently pointed out, "the
loans of the twelve Federal Reserve
Banks have increased about S75,-
100000, and the loans of member
and non-member banks probably
between $2,ooo,ooO,OOO and s3,-
900, 100000 but the volume Of pro-
duction has not increased corre-
spondingly."
1t is matter Of simple arithme-
tic to show that if the supply of
money or of credit, which takes the
place of money, increased without
an increase in the supply of goods,
the price of goods, measured in
money, must increase. That is
what has happened. 1t has led, in
evitably, to speculation and to the
taking by retailers of protective
profits that is, of profits which
would insure them against a pos
sible decline in the wholesale prices.
There is no doubt that retail stocks
have been accumulating of late;
that he demand for the higher
priced goods has fallen off and that
wholesale prices in many lines have
sagged. The result has been de-
cline in the credit value of stocks,
contraction of loans by the banks,
and a rush to sell. The present SELL
ing movement, however, it may
have been exaggerated by the
natural excitement over any down.
ward fluctuation in the price Of
anything, is now extensive enough
to be measured in terms Of trade
tendency rather than of individual
foresight of benevolence.
The downward movement may be
corrected by the feverish buying
which has set in. Low prices will
not be permanent, at any rate, un-
less production increases. There is
no reason to anticipate panic.
The crash which was to follow the
end of the war has been discounted
so thoroughly that it is likely to
come as a gradual settling down,
which will mean hardship to many
people but disaster to few. And
even this is not yet certainly upon
Globe.
