HOLDING COTTON
' Fdr ? number of years all of us
have plead with the farmers to hold
t hoir cotton off the ' msrket when the
price was low.
This year the farmers ?r? heeding
that' advice, and as' a consequence,
business has gone to pot and prac
tically every business house la this
town io .Buffering. - In s few in
stances th? suffering 1c Scute, arid

farmer. He is the chap win makes

year, and then buys winter clothes <

the merchants are enabled ' to take
up their' notes at the banks, and' the
banks,get So shape to make now loans
for the following year. r
Whet) for spy reason the farmer
does not pay hiB Bupply bin, and
- does not .buy other goods, the mer
chants cann ot meet tu?ir bank notes
r?and the banks, must either collect
thoBo notes or" go o?t of business.
I If either of the Fountain Inn banks
should loso the money it has loaned
' is merchants. It would close iis doors.
. And I ydt the merchants can't meet
those notes unless the farmers pay

Tho lynching of Dillard Wilson by
a mob composed of citizens of Shilob
township, Butnter county, and ad
jacent sections of Florence and Clar
endon counties was tbe exercise of
lawless justice by an excited and out
raged community that will be approv
ed and justified by a majority of the
people of suinter county and the state
at large. This being a fact that we
must admit, regardless of our firm
ly rooted conviction that lynch law is
never Justified in a country that has
courts, an honest Judiciary and a
predominant sentiment in favor of the
suppression of crime and the punish
ment of criminals, it is almost a waste
of time to discuss the Dillard Wilson
case, save in general terms for the
purpose of making clear reasons for
declining to approve lynch law In any
circumstances, no matter how hein
ous tbe crime or bow positive the
proof of the guilt of the victim of the
mob. There was no question of the
guilt of Dillard Wilson. His crime
was brought home to him and fasten
ed upon him by a chain of circumstan
tial evidence stronger, more positive
and more convincing than that usual
ly adduced from the testimony of eye
witnesses of a crime. He was posi
tively Identified by tbe little son of
the woman, whom he murdered. He
Anally confessed his guilt, removing
the last shred of doubt if doubt ex
isted In the minds of anyone. The
case against him was clear, positive,
Irrefutable. His life was forfeited for
his ghastly crime All that remained
was the time and manner of his exe
cution. Had he been left to be dealt
with by law through the orderly pro
cedure of the courts a speedy trial
was guaranteed snd bis punishment
certain. All that civilized society asks,
or should ask, Is the enforcement of
law and the punishment of crimin
als. This was assured In the case of
Dillard Wilson, but the men who put
him to death! yielding to the heat and
passion of the moment lost sight or
the duty that each and every law
abiding citisen owes to himself and
his Stnte to uphold tbe courts and aid
In all ways possible and in ail cir
cumstances the orderly enforcement
of law. They took the law into their
own hands and enforced swift Jus
tice in a lawless manner. They did
no injustice to Dillard Wilson. They
klled him, but his life was already
forfeited, and in killing him they did
him no. wrong. The wrong was to the
community In particular and to soci
ety in general in the open and flag
rant disregard of law .The effect of
the lynching of Dillard Wilson did
not end when the mob had satis fled
Its vengence by riddling his body with
bullets. The killing of Dillard Wilson
was a reversion to lawlessness in
mass, apd a bresking of tho laws that
divide..law snd order from lawless
ness and violence. Therein' lies the
danger In lynch' law; therein lies
tho wrongfUlneBS of resorting to
rough and ready justice when thera
ire courts established for the trial
rod punishment of . criminals. The kil
ting of a- self-confessed murderer.
Whose clothing reeked with the blood
if his victim, Is a small thing In com
parison with the wrong done the oub
lie conscience. The men who partici
pated In the lynching of Dillard Wil
son will find It easy to justify the
killing of a murdorer, but how' cas
they Justify the violation of law that
their act entailed when they, assumed
the function of public executioners?

A few days ago on a train coming

"Thero Is no let-up in the contro

puzzle. Efforts in restraint of trade
and to boost prices In a natural mo
nopoly are still persisted In, and the
country Is treated to a spectacle af
fecting a vast region which, if at

The impression North has ben that
the South Ib united on the cotton prob
lem, but such appears not to be the
case. There Is a Hide other than the
planter's. A sample of the manner in
which this is presented Ib found In
the circular letter of a wholesale
hardware house located at Ft. Worth,
Texas. This firm objects to the farm
er's claim that he ought to have 10
centB for cotton because it costs that
much a pound to raise and sayB many
growers became rich, or at least In
dependent, producing it at 7 cents.
Then the agriculturist is reminded
that ho Is better off than formerly,
for says the circular, as to the farm
er:
Ho buys a hoe for GO cents that
used 1? cost 70 cents.
He buys a file at 15c that used to
cost 35c.
He buys a .single tree at 36c that
used to cost'ECc.
He buys a sweep at 8 cents that
UBed to coat ,15 cents per pound.
He buys a plier at 76 cents that
used to cost $2.
He buys nails at ic that UBed to
cost Be per pound."
He buy a wir o at 3 1-2 cents that
used to cost 10 cents per pound.
Ho buys li?mes at 60c that used to
coBt 76.
t He buys traces at 45c that used to
cost 76c.
He paya f.Oc for picking where he
used to pay $1,
He borrows money at 8 to 10 pei
cent where he used to pay 12 to 15
per cent.
And while prices for articles which
he uses have decreased the farmer 1b
told further:. .
He sells wheat at 81 that used to

He sells oats at 60c to used to brin

said company the right to use "all

electrical energy to and within the
city of Anderso. nd to its inhabi

in contained shall give the city any
right to purchase the Portman Shoals
plant or any portion thereof nor shall
anything herein contained, be con
strued to prohibit the company from
selling power in wholesale quantities
to tbe inhabitants of said city of An
derson;" . . . "provided, further,
that said city shall not before pur
chasing the electrical plant....
directly or indirectly enter into com
petition with the company in the sale
and distribution of electrical energy

tho world series was considered at a
recent meeting of the American
League here and Wter a tentative
agreement was reached, Johnson sub
mitted the proposal, in National
League clnb owners.
Herrmann's letter said the National
owners had agreed to the change and
that ap lan would be worked out and
adopted at the annual meeting Jan
uary, bin? of the club own*".a, he
said, had objected to cuttlnr. the prices
on the ground that it would decrease
the amount given tho flayers". Ac
cording to the proposed change, the
players will share in the first five in
stead of four games, so their total will
not be decreased.
