Cotton Crop Short.

Not until within the past week
have many people realized how short
the cotton crop will be. The rank
growth of the stalk has in many
places misled farmers and only af-
ter the harvesting season is over will
it be known how very short the yield
will be this year in this section. Last
week the writer went through some

average in fertility and yet it will

shoulders a single boil would not be

for the weevil and the little pest i'm

occasion to observe how little auto
mobiles are used now as compared
with, say a year ago. Early in the
week we took a buggy ride, not own

Ninety Six road several miles above
Meeting Street, and not after leaving
the town limits did we meet or were
we passed by a motor driven vehicle
of any kind while "goin' and comm"
One or two years ago we would prob
ably have been kept in the ditch much

Live Within Your Means.

No, we are not all going to the
bow-wows on account of boil weevils.
Those who have practiced and are
still practicing economy will emerge
from the "hard times" somewhat dis
figured but still in the ring, while
those who are prodigal with their
earnings will have a rather pinched
existence. True, it will be hard
enough on us all but not so hard on
those who live within their means. 1t
is astonishing how little people can
live on when they have to. Don't try
to butter your bread on both sides,
if you are only able to butter it on
one. Following the prodigality of the
past few year, many of US actually
need the discipline we r now ex-

Let's Avoid Low Water
Pressure.

Friday, Batesburg was visited by a
very disastrous fire entailing a loss
of around 100000, and Saturday
Columbia has a conflagration of
around 100000, both occurring in
the business center of the stricken
cities. Strange to say the reports of
both fires in the newspapers stated
that the water pressure was low. Just
why and who was to blame for the
low water pressure, whether anybody
or not, is not stated. Let Edgefield
profit by the misfortunes of these two
cities and never, if it can possibly be
prevented, allow the water pressure
to be lower than customary or nor
NAL. It seems to be the irony of fate,
for a great confagration to occur
when the water pressure is low. Just
like a fire frequently occurs after a
policy has been cancelled or a death
occurs soon after a life policy has
lapsed. Let's bear in mind that the
"~fre-bug," whatever that is, usually
seizes the favorable moment when
the water pressure is low.
