His fight against the New York lines, which kill many people annually on Death ave- Is about to bring the desired effect Hearst has accomplished all this absolutely single handed and with his own funds. Whatever be his aims in politics, they are always clean, and we don't know but that he might have done as well, if not better, than many men who had held high official posts.

It seems to be a characteristic of Greenville, that one fire must be closely followed by another brace of tires and although seldom has this characteristic, or hoodoo, failed to do what was expected of it. we are to say, that for a town that has had the sad experience that Green- ville has had with fires, our fire fight- facilities are way below par. Just the same as with the hotel.

And after all this should not be hard to accomplish in the face of the prices the cotton farmers are getting for their product It must have been Indeed a great disappointment to some of them. And It certainly was too bad that when the idea of that great money crop suggested Itself to them, the idea of overproduction did not accompany it. As it is. the majority of farmers will have to acknowledge that the price they have had to pay for the lesson has been a pretty steep one. It would be Interesting to find lout just exactly to what extent and how many of them have really prof- by the cotton crop of last sea- conducting demonstration pots averaging three each. The two largest demonstrations the past sea- son were one for forty acres of corn that produced fifty bushels per acre ind one of a hundred acres of cotton that grew a bale and a quarter of cot- ton per acre.
