WHY THE LIGHTS?

The residents who live in the inn

the why Of it sometimes. Their

of an electric light while all is bright

Why Leave The Farm Because The
Tide is Not i'm Your Favor at
All Times?

(By Prof. NJ. A. Blackwell Director
of Agriculture. Batesburg, S. CD
I'm visiting and discussing the
farm questions and problems with the
many farmers in the different sec
tons Of the state, we find that the
average farmers mind tends to leave
the farm because OF the Oppressive
conditions which now face him.
But we would say to the mind that
is being turned in this direction, that
we realize that the way is no doubt
hard and long, but success does not
come 70 any individual or to any peo-
pie, or TO any nation that move or
change TO relieve themselves of life's
responsibilities, btu to them that find
the solution 10 the problem. Yes, we
realize that the farmers are now fac
ing that which he didn't hope to see
quite SO soon, but nevertheless we
have learned from experience If noth-
ing else that: the time TO prenare for
war is in time of peace, and when
the test comes we will be ready to
meet them and not to leave.
BY this we do not say that the
farmer didn't prepare nor do we say
tiioI He iS iol READY 10 meet the pres
ent issue, but we do say that he
should have enough determination
and courage OF play a fair game in
his business and find the solution to
the problem not by giving up, or be-
coming discouraged, but by prac-
tlcing the three principles: thrift,
economy and skill, and a better day
will come
Then Mr.. Farmer, we would sug-
gest that you remain on the farm and
reduce your cotton acreage and SOW
wheat, oats, and other crops for the
winter. Plant more corn, raise more
hogs get good milk cow, raise chick
ems and stay away from the grocery
store and in addition to this raise all
the cotton you can, and put into prac-
tlce the three principles that we have
named aboVe-thrift, economy and
skill, and trust in your God for the
balance and you will be able to meet
your demands, clothe your family and
school your children and live as. a
citizen, as all others who are faith
fully performing their many duties.
in this busy world of ours. Don't
give up. Don't lose hope. A better
u2y will come.

BILL TO CUT
COTTON ACREAGE

Columbia. Jan. Attorney Cen
eral :. NJ. Wolfe is at work on a bill,
To be submitted 10 the two branches
OF the legislature, which starts Tues
Gay, by Senator Alan Johnstone and
Representative George g Mower, both
or NcWberrN, to make il a criminal
oitcnse for a farmer to plant more
than one-third of his total crop acre
age in cotton. Mr.. Wolfe is drawing
the bill at the special request of the
two Newberry Solons.
This bill was urged by the recent
cotton acreage reduction meeting Of
the Newbcrry cotton association. Mr.
Mower is quoted as saying that he
believes the bill will pass and that if
it does pass il will stand the tests
of the courts. However, officials and
many prominent citizens, farmers as
well as business men, take the DO
Sition that such an act would be un-
constitutional, and that should the
courts hold 1t constitutional, it would
be impracticable, from the viewpoint
of its enforcement. The bill prom
ises to be the subject OF some inter
! esting debate during the coming term.

DEATH PLOT IS DISCOVERED BY
 LONDON POLICE
Members of Cabinet Are Spotted as Victims-Sus-
 poets Under Guard.

LONDON, June 30.-The Sketch today printed an article reporting plot to murder all British cabinet ministers. It is said the police have been guarding the cabinet officials fer the past three days and many suspects have also been under strict guard.
 According to the Sketch the ut- most secrecy is maintained by the police authorities. It is believed that the recent attempt of Sim Feiners to cut the signal wires along the railroads of London and the discovery of Bolsheviki propa- ganda revealed the assassination plot.
 According to the unofficial an- nouncements of government authori- ties, no Sim Feiners are suspected of the attempt to kill but Radical element is being watched and sev- eral foreigners are believed to be the ringleaders.
