THE FARMING SITUATION.

Various people will have various
remedies for the situation now con-
fronting the cotton growers of the
South. With a fertilizer bill of thir-
ty-three dollars for each bale of cot
ton grown in the South, the people
are finding that the profits in cotton
growing have. disappeared, and they
look for a remedy.
The Press and Banner believes
vii. the farmers who met in the
Court House last Monday that the
amount of cotton to be grown in this
section another year should be re-
duced. We believe that more food
crops should be~grown, and that the
people should be induced to live at
home, as nearly as possible.
We do not believe that the people
generally will sign the pledge which
they are asked to sign, or will be
asked to sign, by the representatives
of the meeting. The same remedy
cannot be applied in all cases to cure
the existing evil, and in applying the
remedy each case must be treated
according to it's symptoms.
We suggest that ten acres is
enough land to be planted in cotton
on some farms. Ten bales of cotton
may be produced on ten acres on
some farms by high fertilization
while as many bales cannot be pro
duced en- twenty acres on Other
farms. If each farmer with fine land:
selects ten acres of the best land and
plants it in cotton, and fertilizes i
highly, we are of the opinion that he
will not reduce the yield of cottor
much. If the .eld is reduced in the
way suggested at all it will be due tt
the fact that a good many peQpl!
cannot get fertilizers, and their ter
acres will not make the amount O.

KING SMITHS REMEDY.

This is the season of the year in
South Carolina when everybody is
talking about how to reduce taxes
and how to raise revenue without
raising taxes. There is good deal of
talk over the entire country about
the subject CT getting the revenue
without paying the taxes, and better
ways, according to some, are every
day being offered on the subject. One
of the matters receiving attention
by good many writers, especially
those whom we meet in the New York
papers, is that of raising the four
billions of dollars for the payment of
claims upon the federal government
and with it the getting rid of the ex-
cess profits tax, which it is claimed
is slowing down business.
King Smith, who is one of the
Smith boys with whom we are not
acquainted, but who we believe is a
good financier, had few suggestions
to offer on the revenue question which
he did in letter to the New York
Herald few days ago: His two main
suggestions were that a stamp tax of
one per cent. should be assessed by
congress on all checks, and a like tax
on all bills presented for payment.
We are in favor of both sugges-
tions with amendments. The tax of
one per cent. on checks is enough.'
but our amendment to this sugges-
ton is that when the stamp is affixed,
the bank on which the check is drawn
must pay the check.
We said we favored the suggestion
about a stamp tax on bills. Well we
do, but not the amount of the tax
suggested by King. We think the tax
should be at least forty per cent. sof
the amount of the bill instead Of one
per cent. The amount of the tax
should be repeated every time the
bill is presented. And included in
bills should be notices of overdrafts,
notices that notes are about to be-
ccme due, and notices that notes have
already become due and remain un-
paid.
All of the Smiths we know are
good financiers, but we believe that
King Smith knows more about fin
anccs than al the other Smiths, that
is, we believe he does, if he will adopt
our amendments.

THE PRICE OF SUCCESS.
The Dearborn Independent.

The Dearborn Independent.
A man to whom success had come
solely as the result Of his own per-
sistent efforts always kept in prom
inent place above his desk card
which contained seven questions:
"You want success. Are you will
ing to pay the price for it?
"How much Encouragement can
you stand?
"How much bruising can you take ?
"How long can you hang on in face
of obstacles?
"Have you the grit to try to do
what others have failed to do?
"Can you 60 up against sketicism
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1921-01-05

ridicule, friendly advice to quit, with
out flinching?
care you strong on the finish as
we'll as quick at the start?
"Success is sold in the open mar
ket. You can buy it can buy it
any man can buy it who is willing to
pay the price," ,s
The chief reason why so many peo-
pie do not attain success is that they
do not desire it strongly enough to
pay the price. They become discour-
aged at the failures which are sure
to attend their initial efforts. They
think that they have only to hitch
their wagon to star, and the star
will draw them skyward. They would
like to get to the summit, but they
want to ride instead of making their
way up on foot.
An army of young men and wom-
en- enters the success contest every
year. They are fresh from the
schools and colleges, the farms and
the cities. They have set their aim
high-they desire success. The sad
part of it is that the majority of
them will fail to attain the goal-not
because their brain power is deficient,
not on account of their bodily
strength giving way, not for the rea-
son that there are not opportunities
to succeed on every hand, but be-
cause when the time comes for sue
cess to exact payment from them,
they will not pay the price. And the
one price that every man and wom-
an must pay if they ever achieve sue
cess is work.
1t is work that breaks down the
barriers, and/overcomes obstacles,
and surmcunts the difficulties that
are found on the road to success. 1t
is work that pushes aside everything
that may be in the way of the aspir-
ant for the prize.
"Work, Work, Work." was the
motto of Sir Joshua Reynolds.
Voltaire's motto was "Toujours au
travaiP'- Always at work.
Scott's maxim was "Never be do
ing nothing" He was a phenomenal
worker. The Waverly novels were
written at the rate of twelve volumes
a year.
1t is said that Michael Angelo al
ways kept a block of marble in his
bedroom, so that whenever he could
not sleep at night he might get up
and work, that no time need be vast
ed.
A lady once asked Turner the Sc
cret of his great success as a painter.
His reply was: 81 have no secret,
Madam, but hard work."
Thomas A. Edison is living ex-
ample of how a man may win sue
cess by keeping everlastingly at it.
"The gods sell anything to every
body at a fair price," says Emerson.
Do,you want success? 1t may be
yours if you will but pay the price.
