foodstuffs for itself and for the coun
try. Then homemade fertilizers will
enrich its soils, grain and grasses and
cattle and hogs will diversity its agri-
culture, enlarge the horizon Of it's
farmers and add enormously to their
prosperity. Never was there better
object lesson than the present.
If the South had raised 100000
bales of cotton, the price would prob
ably have gone to 6 cents pound;
but with crop of only about 7,000,-
600 bales the price has gone to more
than three times that figure and many
farmer will now live who at 6 cents
would have been hopelessly bankrupt
and in poverty for years to come. A
crop or 100000 bales with q carry
over of, say 100000 in round figures,
or 100000 bales, at cents would
have been worth only 100000, 900,
which would have meant bankruptcy
for the entire cotton-growing inter-
ests. A 100000 bale crop and
carry-over of 100000 bales at even
IL cents pound-and it should go
higher-would be worth $1,350,000,-
600.
Let the South reverently thank God
for this increased wealth, take courage
and go forward with new zeal and
energy.

LEAGUE SPEAKS
AGAINST CRITICS

BETTER THAN cRITiclzE
WHAT LEAGUE DOING.
A PICTURESQUE SESSION
Spanish Deleozts stlrs Latln-Amsrl-
cans With Eloquent Praiss Of the
World conclave-e Bourgeois
on Disarmament.

Geneva.The assembly Of the league
Of nations heard q great deal about
the United States and the proposed
conference at Washington in Novem-
Der In connection with the league work
on disarmament, and also with refer
ence to criticism In America on the
work Of the league. II was the most
picturesque session Of the meeting.
Srinvasa Satri, native Indian law
yer, wearing the Indian costume and
speaking perfect English with an elo-
auence rarely equalled by English or.
ators, had the floor at the morning SEES
sion. He suggested that the United
States might do something more prac-
tical than merely criticize what the
league was doing or had failed to do.
Count Gimeno, Spanish delegate,
stirred the South Americans as they
had never before been stirred in the
assembly debates by his praise Of the
leagues work. Count Gimeno spoke
In Spanish, which was the first time
this language was used on the floor OF
the assembly. His speech later was
translated into both English and
French.
Delegate Urratia Of Columbia urged
larger degree OF publicity for tho
leagues doings.
"The news Of what is going on in
the league must not continue to be, as
now, the property of a few selected
spirits" he said.
M. Bourgeois cited the presence In
Geneva Of the numerous correspond
ents OF the American press as evidence
Of the interest the United States has
In the league.

$500, OOO, 900 ADDED TO COTTON
VALUE.

In the last so days the advance in
cotton has made the new crop and the
carry over worth nearly $500, 700 900
more than they would have been worth
at the prices then prevailing. More
over, the gambling bears were bent
on beating prices still lower, but for
tunately they have been caught in
their own trap and are being right
gloriously punished.
This $500,00000O means change
difficult to exaggerate. 1t will Won
derfully affect the whole atmosphere
of the South's business and agricul-
tural interests; it will save many a
man and many a business from
bankruptcy; it will revive trade; it
will nourish every industry with new
life blood; it will quicken the hopes of
the disheartened; it will put new
courage into all the people; it will
show the tremendous blunder COM
mitted when the former Administra-
ito ncurtailed credit and killed the
War Finance Corporation, and it will
prove the power for good of the freer
credit and the re-establishment of the
War Finance Corporation by the pres
ent Administration.
This advance will also show the wis
dom Of a reduced cotton acreage, with
an increase in foodstuff production.
In this lesson the South schould find
the road to permanent prosperity,
greater than it has ever known.
If the South will, now and forever,
be independent and rich, let it cut its
cotton acreage heavily for all time to
come and intensity the acreage does
cultivate n order to reduce the cost of
production and then concentrate ON

EVIDENCE OF PROSPERITY.

New York, May 31.-Evidence Of
returning prosperity is supplied by
the fact that American tourist travel
to Europe is rapidly assuming pre-
war proportions, accommodations on
the transatlantic liners having been
eagerly secured for spring and sum-
mer sailings. Inquiry at the principal
steamship Offices this week disclosed
that bookings for the various east
ward sailings will soon be closed. Ac-
cording to the present outlook the
principal companies expect that the
volume Of passenger traffic this sea-
son will be more than double last
years record.
Among the thousands who are
journeying to Europe this season are
large numbers of former service men,
who desire to revisit with their fami-
lies the scenes of their. war expert
ences: There are also frequent book
ings from relatives of men killed in
battle, who wish to visit the graves.
The number of American tourists
who will go to France this year is
estimated at 100000. incidentally,
for the first time on record, Italy
is sharing equally with France in the
tourist business.

we question the wisdom of such re-

the advertising spirit We hope that
they will improve. # they do not they

Greenwood is a verifcation of the
truth of our statement.
, But whatever we may think, and
whatever they may think, we ask our
readers to look through our columns
with every issue and to read the ad-
vertisements contained in this paper.
We are willing to guarantee that the
merchants who do use our columns
however little they may do so, have
the goods which they advertise, that
they are the leading merchants in
this town in their line, that they will
do what they say, and that they ap-
preciate the trade of the public. And

lo4 RAILWAYS AFFECTED
BY WAGE CUT

Chicago, May 31.-The United
States railway labor board today
completed work on the decision
which it will hand down tomorrow,
cutting the wages of employees of
104 railroads. Eventually the new
rates to be established will apply to
every road n the country.
Advance estimates of the slash to
be ordered by the board place the
figure somewhere between ten and
fifteen per cent. with the general
belief that 1T will be nearer the
lower figure than the higher.
A 10 per cent cut would subtract
some S3OO,OOO,O0O from the ma
tons railway wage bill.
Tomorrow's decision will be ef-
fective July 1, just IA months after
the s60O,OO0,OOO increase of last
year took effect.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE /, 1921
STAMPING OUT CRIME

A judge in South Carolina recent
ly delivered to the grand jury the
"most forceful' charge ever deliver
ed in the local court house. The
last Judge before him did the same
thing, and the one before the next
to the last did the same, so that we
may at least say we are making pro
gress in "forceful" charges, that is
if we accept the view. of the news
paper writer's.
We do not know whether the
judges charge was forceful or not.
We assume that it was, He had a
great deal to say about lawlessness,
and about crime being respectable,
and there were high sounding phras-
ss, and there were words severely
sondemning crime.
But then there was the administra-
ton of the law by the judge who
delivered the "most forceful" charge,
He commenced by fning men for
breaking the law. He proceeded by
allowing men who had broken the
law to purchase their freedom. He
helped to make crime in South Car,
oliDa respectable by making it 8
luxury of the rich, and something
not to be enjoyed by the poor.
What does the man who makes two
thousand dollars in five months ir
the pursuit of a criminal avocatior
care when he may with a part only
of his ill-gotten gains pay the laws
penalties.
There is nothing more reprehen.
sible in the administration of Law
than this thing of allowing men tc
purchase immunity from the punish
ment their crimes merit. Until the
judges in South Carolina, state anc
federal alike, learn this, the "most
forceful charges" will continue to be
as sounding brass"- and "tinkline
cymbals."

FREIGHT RATES NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR
BUILDING HOLD-UP

Washington, May 31.-Existing
freight rates are not responsible for
the stagnation in the building in
dustry and have not operated to
curtail road construction, Edward
Chambers, vice president of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe,
said today in resuming his testi-
mony before the senate interstate
commerce committee, which is in
quiring into the transportation stu
alton.
"In cities on the Pacific coast and
throughout the West, South and
East" Mr.. Chambers said, "condi-
tons surrounding the building indus
try appear to be about the same.
The general report is that a COM
paratively small amount of build
ing is being DONE"
Discussing road building, Mr..
Chambers said that on the basis Of
$4,000 the average cost of building
of concrete roadway in accordance
with the requirements of the Mime
sofa highway department, was only
$1,327, or two and one-haf per
cent, represents the total cost of
freight on materials and the move
ment of grading materials to and
from the job.
'The freight rate is not an undue
proportion of the total cost of the
road" he said.

ABOUT ADVERTISING

One of the good merchants of the
city came in to see US one day this
week. He had complaint to lodge,
he said, about something We have
written about the merchants. He
demurs to so much of our indictment
against the merchants as alleges that
they do not advertise, in so far only
as he is concerned.
In saying that the merchants in
Abbeville do not advertise we, of
course, spoke of them collectively.
Perhaps one merchant, if he spent
several thousand dollars each year
for the purpose of advertising, could
not keep trade from going to other
points where the merchants do ad-
vertise-advertise, we may say, con-
sistently and scientifically. There are
some merchants here who do spend
money for advertising, but if it were
submitted to John Wannamaker to
say from the amount of business they
do, the amount of floor space they
occupy, the number of clerks they
employ, and the wide territory they
serve and the amount spent for ad-
vertising--we say if it was submitted
to John Wannamaker to say wheth-
er any merchant in fact advsrtises,
we believe the answer would be that
he does not.
This paper appreciates all adver-
tisements which come to it. They
help US. There is no pleasure in un-
dertaking to give the people of Alb
beville and Of Abbeville> County a
county paper at loss of from one
hundred to two hundred - and fifty
dollars per month, and those who as
sist in carrying the burden have our
thanks. If the newspapers are to
make the town larger town than a
country crossroads town, we feel
that they have the right to expect
the business people of the town as
a whole to help them perform the
task. If the business people do not,
that is their business. A man has a
