Responsibility
On the Fourth or July a young
working man of tili? city while craz
ed from (lie use of cocaine, attempted
to take his life. Yesterday the poor
fellow was scut to Hie State hospital
for the Insane.
A few days ngo a young man of
beautiful physical stature, fell an
easy prey to disease and some declar
ed tHut intemperance had undermined
his constitution.
Some months ago the son of one
of the bust families or this county
led in the city prinon. Died with none
iheslde him to hold his hand as
he stjopped Into the Icy waters of the
river of death.

Wc would like to call upon the far
mers of Anderson county to observe
the utmost care lu handling their cot
ton this fall. Tf it is ginned cleunly
and packed properly it might bring a
premium In the market. Too much
I advantage has been taken of the
farmer in the past. He has been
-made to suffer too much Io'ss on ae- j
count of the tare on cotton,
liut tf the farmers will agree not to
pay the ginnors until their cotton is
hapdhvj in a manner conforming to
standards, there will be protection
for the farmers. Wo havo hcurd of
carelessness at glim in the weighing
of cotton. The farmer should be pro
tected) hi this also. The ginner should
be! liable- for any errors in weight.
The. county union meets Tuesday
and wje throw out the .hints so that
the union may take some action be
fore tho>season is actually upon us.
It Ib notorious that cotton has been
tho mpst slovenly handled of all the
agricultural products in the United
States.' The farmers ofte.< leave it
exposed to be damaged by rain and
Infiltrated by mud. Even when offek -
ed for shipment, it is sometimes in
this condition. All too frequently it
Is ^oo |lopselysbaled and Inadequately
markejl. *
It has been said that upon receipt
at foreign ports bales of cotton look
more like rag bags. For many years
the; rail roads have sought to have
thej cotton shlppors exercise greater
tare, but the railways in this coun
try, have' no such autocratic powor
aS tho railroads have in Germany,
where no shipment Is accepted unless

IWe havo heard the suggestion ad

would help Atlanta more than It
would Anderson. It may be true that
Atlanta would feel a great deal of
benefit from having this new rond,
but Anderson would, of course, be
powerfully stimulated by having the

a portion of tho system terminating

Men of Anderson, this Is a moral
community, one of the heat in the
whole country, hut something must be
done to stop the sale of this kind of
liquor that kills.
The cocaine habit is one of the most
Insidious pieces of deviltry ever de

its hellish work than Is the colored

whiskey.

Cotton Right
it is packed in accordance with the
rigid speclllcations. Government ex
perts have estimated that of the cot
ton crop of the United States there
is between the gin and the spinner
u wastage and dnmagea mounting to
$50,000.000 per annum.
Thj Japanese several years ago
ruled that they would not accept cot
ton that was not clean, securely pnek
c " and plainly marked. The possi
bility of losing the custom of a na
tion make a difference. The trans
Atlantic lines thai iu recent years
have been mulcted in heavy damages
because of the poor condition in
which the cotton has been delivered
to foreign consignees have taken ac
tion that will enforce the efforts of
the railways. From September 1,
1912 to March 31, 1913 on tho average
one bale of cotton out of every six
offered at the South Atlantic and Gulf
ports wuh condemned; one bale out of
every ten was improperly marked. Be
ginning July 1, 1913, their require
ments were more rigid; higher char
ges were exacted for cot too, ? losely
baled.
Tho railways In the cotton growing
regions have been redoubling tbelr
efforts with :otton compressors, cot
ton ginncrs and shippers. When
those concerned in cotton growing
and shipping find that shiftlesdness
reacts upon t'ielr pockctbooks. it is
probablo ti. it a bettor order of
things will come about.
Not only tho money, but the good
will of the foreign consumer is worth
while, especially In these times when
he is endeavoring to stimulatu tho
growth " of cotton in other countries
