Senator A. A. Jones in his address
before the Democratic State Conven-
ton held last week in Albuquerque,
said in firm and convincing voice
that "the most important thing in
this campaign is money"
Such a statement can rightfully be
expected from a gentleman who has
spent six years in the Senate Of the
United States without a record Of
single achievement Of material ben
eft to his state or to his people.

Sunday at the home of Mr.. John
Garlock, at Clapham. The Garlock

time, Mrs. Adams had observed the

Some animals and birds change
their dress in winter just as we do.

completely different dress in winter.

Land of Skaters.

Holland is wonderful place for
skating, for, in winter especially. large
stretches of land are under water, and
these freeze over, as do many of the
almost countless canals which thread
their way about the country, from
place to place, like the railways do In
other lands. One of the great ambi-
tions of the Dutch skater Is to visit
seven towns in one day, and there is
one favorite round which, starting
from a little town called Leeuwarden.
it is possible to travel over the ice In
a circle, and, after visiting six other
towns, find oneself near Leeuwarden
again. The distance which must be
covered to complete the round Is about
100 miles, and the burgomaster of each
town, or some one who takes his place.

at once that something was happening
at Mr.. Corvet's. They had heard
shouts and had seen a man pounding
upon the door there, but they had not
taken 1t upon themselves to go over
there. She had told the chauffeur to
wait with the motor and had run at
once to the telephone and called Alan !;
his attempt to put her off made her
certain that what had happened was
not finished but was still going on.
Her anxiety and the sense of their re-
sponsibility for Alan overrode at once
all other thought. She told the serv-

and tell him something was wrong at
Mr.. Corvet's; then che called her maid

He had called the doctor because In his
first sight of Luke he had not recog-
nized that Luke was beyond the aid
of doctors and because to summon a
doctor under such circumstances was
the right thing to do; but he had
thought of the doctor also as a wit
ness to anything Luke might say. But
now-did he want witness? He had
no thought of concealing anything for
his own sake or for his fathers; but
he would, at least, want the chance to
determine the circumstances under
which it was to be made public.

COTTON STILL KING

A wear ago there were many peo-
pIe who believed that cotton would
not be successfully grown in this
county in the future. They believed
that the day of cotton raising had
passed. There are still some of these
people. But the great majority of the
people of the county, we believe,
have reached the conclusion that
cotton will remain our chief money
crop.
This does not mean that other
crops will not be grown. The people
who have learned the lesson, and
who are still learning the lesson that
the farms must be made self-sus-
tanning will not 60 back to the one
crop plan, whatever may be the re-
suit of cotton growing in the future.
And there will be farmers here and
there who will make money by grow
ing vegetables of one kind and an
other. The potato crop and the pea
nut will have their places. But after
all that can be said on the subject
has been said, and after all the eX-
.periments are over, we believe
that cotton will remain king so far
as money crop goes.
Such being the case it is of the
utmost Importance that the condi-
tions for successfully growing cot,
ton be established and maintained on
every farm. The fight against the
destroyer of the cotton crop must
be begun in the fall, waged through
the winter, and continued in the
spring and summer months, certain
ly until the period of migration.
In some counties the bankers are
taking hand at spreading the in
formation necessary for the more
backward farmers, and especially
for those who do not know and who
will not learn. Advertisers, we are
told by The State, in their advertise
ments in the county newspapers OF
some counties are emphasizing the
work to be done in order to get rid
of the weevil, Chambers of Com
merce, public bodies and business
men in other places are aiding in the
fight.
In Abbeville very little is being
done. Either the people are more
backward than the people of other
counties, or there is an indifference
or a self sufficiency, which prevents
the people here from taking an ac-
tive interest in the campaign for
turning stalks and for preparing
for next year. This should not be
SO. The people here should be as
much interested in progress as the
people elsewhere. They should be as
willing to set good examples to and
to help their neighbors as the peo-
pie elsewhere.
The best way to begin is to begin
by cleaning up your own field, des-
troying your own stalks, and by rid
ding the weevil of a hiding place on
your farm. Set a good example, at
least. When you have done that we
believe you will be ready to do a
little more.
