DEPRESSION IS DUE
TO FINANCIAL POLICY
FARMERS UNION TOLD THAT
PRESENT SYSTEM OF DE-
FLATION IS CRIMINAL.

"A Ian "A, Ga.-SeCretary DaVlQ
Houston of the United States treasury
department and less than dozen in
ternational bankers are directly re-
sponsible for the present plight of the
cotton growers of the south, and the
present system of defation used by
these fnanciers is nothing short of
crime, ]. J. Brown, Georgia commits
sioner of agriculture, told delegates to
the state convention of the Farmers
Union in session in Atlanta the past
week.
Commissioner Brown said the time
has come ito tell the truth in Georgia
about conditions" He said he wanted
all the farmers to pay every cent they
could on their debts, but to "hold
their cotton in spite of Hades."
There's Money For Everybody But
The Farmers.
Mr.. Brown told the farmers that
the money is here in this country, that
it has not been burned nor destroyed
and said the farmers of Georgia and
the country never before faced as
many responsibilities as they do now.
ing can be laid directly at the feet
The trouble we are now experience
of Secretary Houston and a dozen in
ternational bankers" he said. when
railroads wanted money they went to
the government and got it. When the
mine operators wanted money they
went to the government and got it.
But when the farmer needs it he gets
nothing from the government but ad-
vice"
THE present cotton crop was raised
by the Georgia farmers under sys-
tenn of infation," continued Mr..
Brown. 1T was raised when materials
were high, labor high and everything
else that goes into production was
high. Now the farmers come to mark
ct his cotton under system of de-
fation.
System of Deflation Nothing
But Crime.
"And | want to say with all my
strength that the present system OF
defation under which we are working
is nothing short of crime"
Mr.. Brown told of incidents in Geor-
gia where mules, horses and cattle
were forecosed recently at fraction
of the cost less than year ago. he
attacked the system of distribution
under which all farm products are
handled and said this must be recti-
fed.
"One man in a Georgia county rails
ed a steer. He went to his local mark
ct and after getting quotations on
what he could get for his steer finally
made a unique agreement with the
butcher. He sold the steer at the price
offered, including hide, tallow and 9th
er by-products He asked the butcher
to sell him part of the steer back as
meat. When the deal was concluded
the farmer bought back one-fourth OF
his steer for meat at Chicago prices
and owed the butcher 90 cents more
than he had received for the steer
hide and all"
Imports Hurt South.
Mr.. Brown said these were some Of
the things the farmers of Georgia face
now. He discussed cotton seed prod
ucts and said the influx of oriental oils
had destroyed the peanut and cotton
seed market in the south.

TIME TO CHANGE

Whatever may be the convictions of any one on what ought to be, the Harding landslide is conclusive evi
 dence that the Democratic party did not possess the popular confidence that is necessary for successful ad- ministration of government. It had the good of the country that it give way. History continues to prove the truth of Adam Smiths truism that under party government it is neces- sary, in order to make progress, that there be frequent changes in party control. A party comes into power with it's commission fresh from the people and with definite purposes. Every change it makes loses it some of it's support, and fin ally it reaches a point where it cannot make more changes without being a minority party, or when it ceases to progress and only attempts to get by and hold a majority of the people for the sake of being in pow CT. When either of those conditions rise, it is time for the party to give way to another party with it's com mission fresh from the people. For six years majority of the people followed the Wilson administration through one of the most progressive periods of American history. It lost support, of course, with each pro- gressive step, and, also of course, gained some. In the course of time the administration majority became minority, and then came the time for it to go out of power, and to

NEW BRAKE IS DESIGNED TO
 STOP WRECKS

PARIS, Nov. IT (by Associated Press )-Need for hastening adoption of the "continIous brake" on freight cars says, M. LeTrocquer, minister of public works, is made apparent by the wrecking of an express train outside Paris few days ago. Near ly 50 persons were killed and scores injured.
 Such brakes are provided for in the economic section of the peace treaties, he said, but their adoption depends upon agreement among Flu ropean countries.
 The continuous brake" is de- signed to operate automatically upon cars that may break loose from a train. The recent accident was caused by several loose cars be- coming derailed when they rolled grade to the forward part of the freight train, waiting for them. The loose cars fell across the track of the express that arrived half min ute later.

TO the east Of the academic build
ing is Round Mountain, on the north
and west arc the foothills OF the
higher Blue Ridge.
A more beautiful location could
never have been found, and most
certainly not more hcaithful one.
The academy itself Is a very pretty
structure. situated in grove Of oaks

ter the holidays.
Rev. l.. II. Raines, q man Of no
mean ability, has put his heart and

can ever do a0greater work for the
students than he Is doing to-day, and

or. He has been a faithful leader
here for the past four years, and is
loved by all.
| We also have with us another
great teacher, Prof. l.. l.. Ogle, Of

are making wonderful progress to-
ward the upbuilding Of our school
and community.
Only n few nights ago three of the
students, Ernest Cromer. Leon Grain

On Wednesday, Dec. 9Th, Mrs. Sarah
G. Durham, who was a resident Of

from this life to the great beyond.
Her death was not surprise, as
her health had been gradually fail

ferer for several weeks before her
death. Before the end came she
talked and consoled her loved ones
by saying that she was ready to meet
her Saviour, and begged them to be
ready for a reunion in that home the
Saviour has gone to prepare, and
when AL that loving hands and med
ical aid could do to stay the disease
was in vain, angels came to relieve
the patient sufferer and carry her
spirit to God.

the most Of her life in this county,

one. She was nearing her 80th year.

Fl. A. Mathews, OF Superior Court

also declared that the testimony Of

\ There was mild outburst Of ap-

The woman's words drifted off in

Southern to Change Its Schedule BE.
tween Greenvillc and Columbia.
(Anderson Mail, Dec. 22.)

=
Permission TO discontinue trains
Nos. oi, 90, sc and 81, between An
dersOn and Walhulla. was granted to
the Blue Ridge Railroad by the South
Carolina Railroad Commission at the
meeting yesterday in Columbia. This
action was taken in response to q
petition Of the railroad asking that
this curtaimcnt be allowed in an
effort TO reduce expenses. 1t is a fact
that the Blue Ridge has beon losing
money heavily since the business de-
prossion started and that these
trains are not paying expenses, but
are q heavy expense to the line.
This curtailment Of service is only
temporary, and if traffic conditions
improve, the service will certainly be
restored. The trains to be discon-
tinued are the numbers mentioned
above, the last train leaving Ander-
son at IL a. M, and No. 81, leav-
ing Anderson at 2.2O p. III. No. Sd
arrives at Anderson at l 20 p. M. and
Sc arrives here at TAO p. III.
Tho regular passenger service Of
main passenger trains will be main
tanned under the present schedule
until changes are made in the sched-
ule.
Southern to Change Schedule.
The commission also granted au-
thority to the Southern Railway to
change its schedule on trains 16 and
II, operating between Columbia and
Greenville, both trains to be moved
up approximately 45 minutes. This
Will permit train II, which now
leaves Columbia at 230 o'clock, to
make connection with the Charleston
and Western Carolina Railroad at
Greenwood. Train No. 16 now leaves
Greenville at 5.45 o'clock and ar
rives III Columbia at 11.3O O'Clock.
The details Of the new schedule will
be arranged later, the two trains, ac-
cording to the decision Of the Rail-
road Commission, meeting at Belton
as heretofore. This allows the Blue
Ridge train to make connections
with both trains. Tho schedule Of
the Blue Ridge Railway will also be
changed to meet the change in the
Southern's schedule.
