The directors would have power to is

tor Hitchcock'S plan. Asserting that
credit represents the difference be-
tween the vast buSiTcSs enterprises OF
civilized man and the insignificant OPP
erations of primitive man., Senator
Hitchcock told the association that the
practical collapse of national COM
merce is due to the fact that nations
are trying to do business for cash.
Nations. within their own boundaries,
conduct nine-tenths Of their business
on credit, the senator said, adding that
if the United States or any other nar
ton suddenly was compelled to DO
business for cash there would be an
enormous shrinkage of business. Bug
mess between this country and Europe
has been slashed in half in sin@f
wear, he asserted, because America de-
mands cash on delivery and Europe

In that tragic array Of figures show
ing the ravages of the boil weeNil in
South Carolina last year as compared
with the year previous, York shows up
with conspicuous good fortune. We
are referring to the report of the De-
partment of Commerce, giving the sr-
ming figures of South Carolina by
counties. 1t will be noted that only
York, PtcKens and Oconee show GIN
nings in excess of those Of the. previ-
Gus year, and that in the, case of most
of the other counties the comparison
is simply appalling. But there is prob
ably nothing to boast about in the sit
uation, for more than anything else, it
is merely ., n matter of good luck.
Among other things it may have been
due TO the course the wind was blow
ing when the midsummer hordes of
weevils were fying-sOmcthinE that
gave US 4 respite of say two weeks at
the most critical time for the crops.
So instead Of trying TO persuade our
selves into believing that we are i'm
munc by reason of climate, altitude or
some other such fanciful ConSidcrL-
ton; let us return thanks for the spc-
cial favor that we have received so
far and keep out Of further tcmpta-

AIMED AT THE MILLS.
Bill to Prevent Cotton Factories from
Suspendina Operations.

The forcing of cotton mills to main
tain the operation Of their plants even
when the owners of the mills might
desire or consider it advisable or nee
essary to suspend operations indefi-
nitely is carried in a bill introduced in
the house Wednesday morning by
Representative F. w. Toole of Aiken.
The bill was referred to the committee
on judiciary. ~
The bill would make it unlawful for
a mill to close its doors longer than ~
consecutive days in any year without
the approval of the governor and the
state bank examiner, who, under the
provisions of the proposed measure, ls
authorized to make an audit oil the
books Of any mill so closed down ana
report his findings to the governor,
who may then order the resumption OIL
operation within 4 period of ten days,
a fine of $1,000 being imposed for cv-
cry day the mill disregards the order
of the chief executive. ..
The text of the bill reads:
when any firm. individual or cor
poration engaged in the manufacture
Of cotton within this state either as Il
cotton mill. textile industry or ny
whatever other name known or called,
shall close its plant, factory or mill Tor
20 consecutive days in one year and
such notice of the closing Of said Dus-
mess be brought to the attention OF
the governor he shall Immediately IN
struct the bank examiner to proceed
to audit the books Of the said manu-
factory and If in the opinion OF the
said bank examiner, who shall report
the same to the governor, he shall Or
der the said mandatory to resume
operation within a period OF tendays:
THE suspending of operation Oh

hereinabove provided shall be deemed
as move to defeat the object or TINS
act and shall be considered closing
of 30 consecutive days.
Amy person, firm or corporation
violating the provisions of this act
shall be subject to a fine of $1,000 for
each day business is not resumed after

Since il is practically certain that

there is no Immediately pressing wal
need for further activity in that field,
common sense says that the property
should be turned over Ia Henry Ford.
Books might he written on "COnSCrva-
ton" in connection with the matter:
but there would he nothing TO, them
except fine spun theories. There can
be no better conservation tEan Furd'S

that bind him to pay reasonable
price for il to begin with, TO say moth
ing of his offer to turn it back to the
peOple at the end Of Il hundred years.
We are strongly disposed TO DclirN :
that the principal thing in the way Of
turning the property over to Ford is
the fear Of the effect it will have ON
billions of dollars already invested in
industrial enterprises IF the country.
Just as Ford has demonstrated that
he can build and distribute a cheaper
automobile than anybody else for tn"
money. hie financial interests are
afraid that he might break up their

1t is hardly probable that the gen
cral assembly viii pass the Toole bill
cotton aalin anc ratoISS OF the
right to close down their mills when
they see proper. The obvious purpose
of the bill is to circumvent the use of
the closing down eXpedient as means
Of compelling employees to accept lower
wages and in intimidating them 9TH
erwise, and from this standpoint the
measure is fully justifiable. But there
is danger on the other side as well.
There comes legitimate depression in
the mill business-times when the pro-
duct cannot be sold except at loss,
and to force mill to run at such
times as that would mean bankruptcy.

The first duty of every individual is
10 pay his honest debts. The man who
does not pay cannot keep his own re-
spcct. much less the respect of the
other fellow. There are people who
can pay all they owe: but who will not
even pay Il part. These arc a far more
serious drawback TO the wcll-bcing of
business than are those who are really
unable TO pay anything. Most of the
business paralysis is because OF thof"
who owe and who do not even want to
pay.
