great temptation to try to produce cot
ton next year. Cotton has been made
in this latitude in spite of the boil vice.
vi, and some cotton will be made next
year. 1t is possible that there will be
full crop, and for such cotton as is
produced the probability Is that the
price will be unusually attractive.
So far as most of the lower part OF
this state is concerned, cotton planting
may as well be abandoned The boil
weevil has been getting it all and ne
will continue to do go.
In this latitude, however, the situa-
ticn is different, for unles3 provided
with plenty of cover the boil weevil is
likely to be killed or badly thinned
our during the winter,
Elsewhere in about this latitude cot
ton planters have found that by get
ting the cotton crop off as early as pos
sible and plowing up the ground, and
also cleaning up terraces, runways and
other such places, the weevil is consid-
erably hampered. :ss.
The cotton farmers of York county
are now giving serious attention to all
these things.

IF peoplc are willing 10 buy when
they are convinced that retail prices
really are descending to reasonable
levels. it Is for the retailer to show
them visibly, emphatically, and repeat
edly that such Is now the case.
|. That sentence from an editorial in
the Literary Digest embodies about as
fool proposition as we often see in
any periodical, much less a periodical
of such high sounding name.
There used to live in Yorkville
man by the name of John Dennis,
carriage trimmer by trade, a man OF
fine intelligence, great dignity OF char
'actcr. and very much Of philosopher.
Among the wise and true sayings that
were attributed to him was one which
ran like this:
Moses was the meekest mar, Sam
son was the strongest man and Solo
mon was the wisest man; but no one
of them was able to pay their debts
without money"
The Literary Digest represents the
people holding to the strings Of their
money bags waiting for prices to drop
before they begin buying.
AS long as people had money they
bought regardless of prices; but when
the supply of money was dried up by
means of that internal defation cam
paign, people simply had to stop buy
ing.
When the Federal Reserve system,
the War Finance corporation and the
Land banks restore to the circulation a
fair share of the currency that has
been squeezed out of it, the people will
commence buying again, and not be-
fore.

The WEST ROAD

The much discussed, much talked
of route Of the West road now build
ing from the Cherokee county line
toward Yorkville as it shall lead from
Sharon to Yorkville was definitely de-
cided at a meeting Of the county conf
missicners and the West road COM
missioners held in the commissioner
office in Yorkville, Friday evening. =,
The road will take the old HoweiLs
Ferry route to Yorkyille and accord
ing to n, new survey will strike the
Cotton Belt road at point near the
residence of C.. NJ. Inman from whence
II will proceed past the town water
station and the county jail UP
West Liberty street to the county
seat. This provided the town VIII
take care of the expenses OF construc-
ton within the corporate limits.
A number of farmers living along
the Howell's Ferry route attended the
hearing held in the commissioners Of
flee Friday evening and made an Oh
fen. equivalent TO more than 500 day
work with teams in the event the
Howell's Ferry road was selected. NO
advocate of tho Sutton's Spring road
which had also been surveyed, was
present, IT,. 90
Senator John r. Hart said that as
a citizen he wished to request the
county board of commissioners that
the chaingang end of the work p3
started in front Of the county jan
which is within the corporate limits
of the town. 1t would cost seVera,
thousand dollars to build the road
from the jail to the corporate limits
and the town did not have the none!
While there was no law that would
prohibit the chaingang beginning worn
within the town. The commissioners
did not commit themselves but the
understanding is that they are willing
to help the town on the towns end OF
the work, with the town paying the
expense.

A Successful CoIored Man.-It is

A Successful CoIored Man.-It is Il
well known fact that The Herald and
News delights in making note Of the
rise of any Newberrian, at home or
abroad, and we like especially to pick
them up" away from home, knowing
that such always is good news to
those at home. Naturally most of
such notices are about white people,
but occasionally it comes our way to
commend n colored man, and it is also
we'll known fact that when such is
the case this newspaper expresses its
convictions, as the paper likes to
speak we'll of people.
In 1886 Fred Rutherford, who is
visiting relatives here, left Newberry
to make his home and fortune in Flor
ida. He had worked eight years for
the late Judge Y. J. Pope, and the af-
ter years of his life showed that
Rutherford had instilled into his char
acter some of the manliness of his
courtly employer. He had been and
was doing we'll here, but the call of
Floridas balmy air and scented flow
ers was strong and he went to Orlan-
do. He has been here twice before on
visits since the present time. and the
last visit having beer in 1891.
He was of small size when leaving
Newberry 35 years ago, but look at
him now and you win see quite a
change in his build. He has grown
to be a man of commanding appear
ance, and his bearing shows that he is
prosperous as well as a citizen OF
standing and rating in his commun-
ity. Rutherford owns an orange
grove in Orlando, and we take pleas
ure in mentioning his visit to his rel
atives and friends in his old home city
of Newberry, where by his conduct
and department he is proving himself
/ to be a man of good breeding and liv-
ing.-Newberry Herald and News.

Asserting the necessity for a rear
rangement of the congressional dis
tricts in this state, because the census
of 1920 shows disproportion in the pop
ulation since 1910, A. S. Salley, Jrr is
entertaining himself suggesting pro-
posed readjustment. According to the
1910 figures the average population OF
a district should be 2l6,4S5, and ac-
cording to the 1920 figures this average
has been increased to 24O,532. The
present population of the Fifth district
is 22S,649, or 1883 below the average
and consequently, according to Mr.
Salcy, needs to be recast so as to bring
it's population up to its full quota. In
his proposed scheme of rc-arrangc-
mcnt Mr.. Sallcy would have the dis
trict include the counties of Cherokee
Union, York, Chester, Lancaster, Ches-
terfield and Marlboro. In this ar
rangcment he leaves out Fairfield and
Kershaw and takes in the new counties
of Union and Marlboro. The aggregate
population of this combination is 235,-
GA. AS to just how the district should
be re-arranged if rc-arrangement be
actually necessary, The Yorkvillc En-
uuircr has no definite proposal; but II
does not favor the idea of substituting
either Fairfield or Kcrshaw for any
additional territory.

The negotiations between Devalera

The negotiations between DeValera
president Of the, Irish Republic, and
Lloyd George, premier of the British
empire, seem to have about reached the
final issue. DeValera's position was
that Great Britain must recognize the
absolute independence of II eland, and
that subsequent relations between Ire
land anG Great Britain shall be fixed
by treaty. Lloyd George resterates that
Great Britain is willing to allow Ire
land complete self government in ev-
erything even to the extent OF fixing
her own tariffs and trade agreements
with other countries; but she must
continue her allegiance to the crown
and her loyalty to al other British pos
sessions. Unless Ireland agrees to this
without much more delay, the war will
be resumed.

In the opinion Of The Yorkvilie En-
quirer cotton can very easily go to ~
cents and above and the general out
look for better prices is good; but still
it is very we'll to remember that cot
ton is a fool" The spinners generally
are short of cotton, and financial con-
ditions are being shaped up so as to
warrant extensive exports. Also be-
cause of the boil weevil and other con-
siderations the outlook is that next
years acreage will not be so large az
the acreage of this year. But still II
the cotton producers shall rush their
holding on the market in sufficient vol
ume to give the spinners supply for
several months ahead, prices are likely
to go down instead of up. AS we see IL
the course of cotton is rather uncer-
tain for the next several months
whether it will go to 20 cents and
above-but the probability is that
much of the cotton now in the hands
of the farmers will bring over 20 cents
before there is another crop.

Mr.. Wannamaker, better known, as
president of the American Cotton as
sociation, has waited until almost time
for the frosting of the pumpkin to
make his worst break. He was the
orator of the day at an agricultural
meeting in York county, S. c., couple
of days ago, when he renewed his at
tacks on the Federal Reserve System
and gave birth to the threat that un-
less 1t modifies its policies to meet his
views. he will call a national conven-
tion of farmers to discuss the advis-
ability, of nationwide agricultural
strike" But Mr.. Wannamaker may be
counting without HIS host. The strike
as lately engineered in this country, Is
an institution promoted by bolsheVlk
machinery, and the American farmer Is
the last man to approach with an ap-
peal of the kind suggested by Mr..
Wannamaker. 1t is to be regretted
that the head Of an association which,
properly directed, Is capable OF doing
much good for the farming interests,
should be found making so wide de-
parture from the established principles
of Americanism. .
The Observer Is of a mind to make
prediction here and now, that Mr..
Wannamaker will be able to make but
small headway with his proposed
strike of the farmers, for the man to
be the most disastrously affected by a
strike of the kind, is the farmer, him
self-Charlotte Observer.
The Yorkville Enquirer is in agree
ment with Mr.. Wannamaker as to the
accuracy of the financial and economic
picture he has painted; but as to
whether relief from existing abuses is
to be had through the remedy Mr..
Wannamaker suggests, the Yorkville
Enquirer is doubtful.
AS the, Yorkville Enquirer has al
ways seen it, the greatest mission OF the
Federal Reserve system was to relieve
the people of America and their enter
prises and industries from the arbi-
trary domination of a private irrespon-
sible financial group that had gravitat-
ed into control 1t has never seemed
right to the Yorkville Enquirer that
any group of private individuals should
be permitted to make plaything OF
the veal and woe of a whole people.
That previous to the establishment
of the Federal Reserve System, Ameri-
can finance was the plaything OF a
small private group; centering in wall
Street is known Of all men of average
information. This group has expanded
and contracted credits at will, and
brought about panic or prosperity as
suited it's purpose, absolutely regard
less of the millions Of people affected
by it's whims.
1t was the hope of The Yorkvillc En-
ouircr that the creation Of the Federal
Reserve system would put stop to
such conditions.
Within the past few years there
have been many circumstances to
show that the mighty Federal Re
serve system created ostensibly for the
benefit Of the whole people, has been
deliberately turned over to this group
of private fnanciers, with the result
that the power of this group has been
increased a hundred fold, while it's re-
sponsibiity is reduced to nothing.
If relief is to be had through a strike
The Yorkvile Enquirer is unable to
see how; but there ought to be some
way of securing relief and the people
will do well to go about finding the
proper remedy.

BUZZING OF THE BEE
Political Dope as Seen From TIT
States Political Center.

Political Dope as oeen TT0" A"s
States Political Center.
It's a long way to the political TIP
perary, writes a Columbia correspond
ent, but there's H.lways talk of who'll
be who in the arena next year. SO
far no hat has been definitely thrown
into tie ring, but it Is likely that
politics will warm up in 1922. There's
talk already.
TIE race of chief interest next year
will be that for governor. Already
the people Of the state are talking
about candidates for that office, and
it is said that a ring full of hats are
being shined up for the campaign
Several former politicians have been
mentioned, either by themselves, or
by others, as possible candidates for
the seat of the chief executive, among
them Former Lieut.. Governor Bethea,
Former Attorney General Peoples. and
Former Governor Blease. Lieutenant
Governor Wilson G. Harvey, of Char
lesion is being discussed as n posi-
BILE aSpirant. State Senator j. H.
Marion, of Chester, considered one of
the ablcst men in public life in the
state, has been mentioned publicly us
q possible candidate. Col. Holmes B.
Springs, OF Greenville, formerly OF
Georgetown is also one of the lead
ing men mentioned in connection with
the race for governor next year, and
Major Henry G. Tillman, of Green
wood, has also been talked OF. Still
another man who is thought to be as
piling 10 the race and to the office
Of governor is State Senator George
G. Laney, of. Chesterfield. There will
also possibly be others, but these are
tho men whose names have gained the
greatest amount of notice in connec-
ton with the office to be vacated by
Governor Cooper at the end of 1922.
Former Judge Mendel L., Smith, of
Camden has also been mentioned in
connection with this office but Judge
Smith stated in Columbia recently
that he was mot thinking of running
for governor; he said he prefers to
practice law.
There will probably be some other
interesting races. Whether Governor
Cooper intends to run for some higher
office is a matter of some conjecture,
but a matter on which the present
chief executive. has maintained 81
leace.
Senator Wightman, of Saluda, fam
ed for his ruthless attacks on state
expcnditur es. is also allowing himself
to be mentioned in connection with
politics, though he has made no def
mite announcements. His speeches
during the 1921 General Assembly led
to the belief that he had the political
