Sept. 2'J Your eoi respondent has compiled the liillovvmg table, which shows the cost of raising cotton this year: lien: of 20 acrts land at $7. SO per acre, $150; Three tons fertilizer at $60 per ton. $ 1 S U : hauling fertilizer front market. $15; Kent of one mule. $35; feed for mule, $25it; wear of tools, $15; wa ges for one plow hand at $50 per mo., including board, $600; hoeing three times at $1 per acre, $t!0; seed for plaining t20 bus. at' $1.25). $25; picking In, 000 pounds seed cotton. $100; hauling 6V3 bales to gin at $2 per bale, $13; ginning, at $3.50 per hale. $22; bagging and ties, at $2 per bale, $13; total. $1,478.75; less 3 tons seed at $57. $184.75; cost of 61 bales lint cotton, $1,294.00; cost per bale. $235.27; cost per pound, 47.05 cents. Therefore, figuring cost plus 10 per cent, we have 51.76, which the farmer should be receiving for this year's crop. You will notice that I have figured five lurid red pounds seed cotton or 1622 pounds lint per acre, which is more than this year's estimate gives, and is really more than the average yield; but wishing to he absolutely fair, I have figured wages below act tiul cost and yield's above actual in order that tne thing might not appear eo ridiculous. Dr. Poe said some weeks ago In the Progressive Farmer that the reason why farmers could put cotton on the market for less than cost was explain ed by the fact that they worked them nelvea -without wages, worked their wives without wages, and their chil dren without wages when the children ought to be In school learning better sense than to treat their offspring as their daddies had treated them. There is great big truth In the ac cusation, and when we figure coet herearter let's figure some wages for ihe old woman and the kids. What moral right Is there In working chil dren for nothing just because they are our r- n kiis? Think abuv.t it! Novua Homo.

Th executive committee of Ihe union county cotton association. In session here yesterday, abandoned the idea of securing a warehouse In which to atore distress cotton when they learned that It was Impractica ble to build a platform this year. Stack & Co. had offered to lease the association their warehouse if the county commissioners would build a platform, which they were unable to d this year.

Coriespondeiice of The Journal. Waxhavv, II. F. D. No. 1, Sept. 2!'. Some editor up about Hickory pre dicted some days ago that we would have frost about (he 27lh. Judging from experience with these "pinchy" mornings, it seems that this pencil pusher must have had some inside in lormatlon. Was it the old hlueback that ad vised 11s to "make hay while the sun shines?" Well, anyhow, Ihe farmers haven't forgotten that admonition yet. We have seen more "hay ricks" of considerable size and thick on the land recently than we remember 10 have seen at all in any one season I Ihluk It was Prof. Massey who said a few years ago that "southern farmers worked hard all summer kill ing grass to raise cotton to get tnon- ley to buy hay. Seems like we have siseovered the Inconsistency of that I, ml of rotary maneuvering and have hi ;:un to make hay at home and save the freight; also three or four mid dle man's profits. On a recent trip across the coun try, tv.o men of the party. Messrs. It. '. Sims ii:id J. W. Statues, entered into a c vv counting contest, one of t ii'tii couiting on the right Hud the oilier oil Tie left. At the end of the journey the one having the greatest number 01 lows to his credit was to receive 25 cents from the other for 1 very cow he saw more than his an tagonist. The writer kept tally for them and when we arrived su our destination each of them had just forty-three. Sims didn't like It he cause there wasn't more cows on his ride of the road and said he never liked to break even, and Insisted that they got hack to Waxhaw. Starnes thought, however, that the cows had been counted ami that he had eaten too much ham for dinner to be at all interested In beef for several days. Our destination was S. K. Helk's where the union was holding forth Tor the day. When we arrived we round the union already in session with G. W. Sutton, president, in the chair, and the entire office force on the floor. There were encouraging reports from all locals except one which was not represented, and the spirit of de termination which seemer to possess the delegation was such as to lend encouragement to all present. Several live talks were marie on subjects pressing for solution, and the general tone of the meeting was for more close cooperation and a more minute understanding of the problems confronting producers of the raw materials of wealth. After the conclusion of the busi ness session of the meeting the Invi tation to dinner was responded to en thusiastically and the way those Ilelk people set out good eats before that hungry crowd made the high cost of living cry look more like a farce than ever. We concluded, while standing around that well-loaded table that before we had revolu tion in eastern Union county there will have to be a big reduction in food supplies. The music by the string band on the ground waa excellent. We listen ed until some of the crowd going west decided we had better make a start for home since we got lost com ing down. Rev. V. T. Shehane of Heath Springs, S. C. and who is pastor of several Baptist churches in South Carolina, has moved to WIp?r in order to enjoy the excellent school ad vantages offered there.

All engagements hav e been cam-.-lled. The king and queen or Belgium and other distinguished visitors will tour the country and call on Hie President after their trav els. The industrial conference sche duled for October 6 will be held at the While House, but President Wil son in all probability will not be per mitted by his physicains to attend. The President may be removed from Washington to some health resort for the next few weeks. The President's nervous break down is perhaps the most serious ill ness he has ever had. for it conies upon him at a lime when he has spent almost all his reserve strength. He will be 63 years old next Decem ber, and during the last 10 years an inconceivable strain has been super imposed upon other vims of ailing, so that his close friends have marvel ed Ml his endurance thus far. "W'lioilrow Wilson was never n ro bust individual, lie worked inriefat-i-xbly -. a college professor and fn nuently put so much energy into his lectures thai lie used himself up com pletely each day. It was in lfinfi that he HiHI'civil a nervous reaction and was given leave of absens" from 1I1 presidi 111.. of Princeton university.

He soon was "Ugruss"d, hiev'.'ver. ill the bitterest fight el' his career the graduate school (eii'roversy at Princeton --and was compelled, aua'ii to interrupt his lecturis and take a vacation, this !ime ul 1'.. I'liinda. Mr. Wilson suffered from imuiiis in his arms and hands, due very largely to the yenrs spent in writing books. It was this ailment which compelled him to lake up the ly pevvriter as a means of expression, something he had used almost constantly since. "When Mr. Wilson resigned from Princeton to become a candidate for governor of New Jersey he entered vigorously to a fight against the elec tion of James Smith as senator and thus began a series of mental strains such as the struggle with a Repub lican legislature to get a reform pro gram through and then speech-making tours in the presidential primary contest. MK. WILSON T1RKL1ISS WORKF.R. This dovetailed Into the presiden tial campaign of 11112 itself, and when Mr. Wilson was elected he did not relinquish the govt rnsliip ot New .Ii iso.i until three days before he vva inaugurated President. With the ex cipiioii of a few weeks in Bermuda wiih his family he bad been emit in-11011-ly at work for two years wlnn the cares of the White House began to to -cumulate. He had a hard light 011 tariff and currency legislation, and then came the seizure of Yera Cruz, followed soon by the out break of the Kuiopean war. in lflt. which made tl, e first eiglitein months of his term exacting. 'Throughout the firs! two years of ihe war the Lusilani.t controversy niul neutrality problems weighed h.iivily on the President's mind, and thin came the mep;' redness tour and Inter the presidential campaign of lli Id. America's entrance Into f war a few months later piled lii .li the dutiqs and tasks Imposed by Con gress on the executive. "While war operations were at their height decisions affecting the niacin? of American troops into bat tle and naval questions of moment were referred to the President from abniail. Mr. Wilson spent many long hours at night coding and decoding confidential messages. Perhaps the climax of It all came when Germany asked for an armistice and the Presi dent began to exchange notes that led to Germany's capitulation. SIGNS OF COLLAPSE WKL'KS AGO in Ihe midst of this excitement, so gnat was the President's anxiety tot the League of Nations and thf Making of the terms of the treaty of peace, that he asked the country to return a majority in Congress as a vote of confidence. His determina tion to hasten the peace conference and go to Kurope himself was the source of some apprehension to his friends, who wondered If he could stand the nririeri strain. In Paris he worked day and night and caught cold while in a conference with Prime Minister Lloyd George and Premier Clemenceau. This developed into in fluenza, from which, as Doctor Gray son says, the President has never re covered entirely. 'It is true that there were many reasons for postponing tne resi dent's trip across the continent In be half of the Iyeague of Nations, whictt had been planned to begin Iminedi- atelv after his return from Europe. but even if he could have finished sootier those conferences with indi vidual senators his physician world probably have held him in Washing ton, as he was beginning then to nw Mgns of a collaps.

The people insisied on seeing him. Hs physician would not permit him to make any but scheduled speeches. Between stations the President worked away on his typewriter on official business. Much of his time was spent in study ing cables from Frank Polk, head of the American peace commission, neg otiating treaties with Austria, and Bulgaria. Lately the situation at Fiuiue has given him lunch concern. "But the greatest burden of all has been the extemporaneous speeches. Instead of stretching his trip out to eight weeks and covering ten thou sand miles as other presidents have done. Mr. Wilson sought to necomn lish his purpose In lour weeks, lie spoke extemporaneously everywhere forty times in twenty-one days. ;oi:i;oi: compi p. wfi.com- l l THIKTIIITII YI TIIKANS 1'iai-cs Their Yaloi ami Devotion to Duty (.icenville Deem uteri lor (lie i t I .ision.

Hamlet Defeat Monroe. - The Hamlet High Sc'iool defeated the Monroe High School Friday af ternoon in Ihe first football game or the season by a score of twenty to nothing. Lack of practice was the main reason for Monroe's defeat, the team having practiced together only three times, while Hamlet has prac ticed nearly three weeks. Not being used to a sandy field, was another cause for defeat, because speed could not be developed quick enough. Hamlet comes to Monroe for a re turn game Friday, October loth, and Ihe High School wish"s the support of th entire town. Reporter The Xevv Medical Fee Kill.
