Although the united Confederate

Although the united Confederate
veterans have not yet received an in
vitation from a Southern city that de-
sires to act rs host, it is unthinkablc
that this situation comes about
through indifference. 1t does not come
about, for any such reason. There are
few SouthCrn cities that would not
gladly entertain the veterans and we
feel sure that the executive committee
will yet be confronted with the puzzle
Of which of the many invitations it
will receive that it should accept. Why
even NoYkville would gladly entertain
the Confederate veterans as best she
could.

AS to whether the boil wCcvil is go
ing to ruin the cotton production in
dustry in this country is, of course, a
qu, stion. There is no authority that
can now positively answer that qucs-
ton. But whether this section is fore
ed To abandon cotton production OF
not, it should get on a more sclf-sus-
tanning basis. 1t must cease trying to
buy with cotton money anything it can
produce for itself.

Although the creamery experiment
that was attempted in Norivillc some
years ago turned out unfortunately, in
the opinion of The Norkvillc Enquirer
it will be a seHous mistake for our
people to assume that the business Is
impractical on that account. 1t is well
to remember that this experiment was
weighed down by many serious handi-
caps. In the first place the origina!
incentive to the undertaking was the
prospective profit in the sale of the
outfit, etc. The outfit cost Il great
deal more than it ought to have cost
TO begin with. Then again there was
no adequate milk supply in sight or in
prospect and the organization ncccs-
Sary TO develop such Il supply was OF
Itself tremendous task. The cream
cry made Il good fight ana accomplish
ed wonders under the circumstances;
but finally failed But it is fair TO ad-
nit that the failure Of this venture did
not prove the impracticahility of the
idea. As a matter Of fact there is
much warrant for the assertion that
this experiment proved that under
proper management 4 cooperative
creamery could b" made Il success
right in this locality.
