From all . part of thia State eomea the cry and demand to enforce . the va- granty hiw, or to enact another which ehatji ha more far reselling in atamping -lout the idlers which can be found in every village and city. t .

Nearly every city has i6i yupgjnn white jtnd black, who can be seen loafing on street corners or a any eiort that will harbor them. They are, able to work, some might take.a 4Job". but nothing permanent Thewhite boys likely have homes, and rve pfftheir parents." he blacks may ne aSMi eimiliarly itatedii. 1 What is neeeded that those whosnpport or shel ter these non-workers and loafers, shall refome to give them a mouthful of food, or nights shelter,, unless they shal work, and by so doing establish whether these consumers and non-workers can not be taken up by the authorities un der the vagrant act, or a least be re moved from street, corners, and resorts that might harbor them. There is work on every side. Labor .cannot be secured on farms or in cities, ' yet the workers have the daily sight of the loafers. In such timeB as the pre entwfth conditions prosperous, the street (osiers and idlers, generally, are not ao mnch a menace. But let there , be any hard condition, the corner loafer and the country idler will quickly form .the mob which seeks destruction of property, and the demand for food and shelter. ' It is in the season of good times that provision be made for the season of hard times, and those who work should be protected against the idle and shiftless. And . more, the au thoxitiea should see to it that the idle man or boy should be made to give ac count of himself or else be taken in hand and be forced to work. Let every "lineofthe vagrant law be carried ou today and every day. It will not be long . before the loafer changes, and possibly be made Into a respectable LOCAL CONTRIBUTIONS BEST t rPROKOTE LOCAL INTERESTS.

A few citizens in a community quite often appear as beingiahraya prosperous, while the rest of the com munity may be enduring hard timea. But it ia not true. Real community prosperity has its greatest good, in the number of its citizens who are enjoying the prosperity.

It is the local contribution one to another, which gives community development and the community betterment that gives good conditions to every citizen. 1EN AND ELEVEN CENT COTTON. The advance in the price of cotton during the past few weeks, to eleven cents, has called attention to the fact that the Southern Cotton Growers As sociation had made ten cents, the mini mum price at which members should sell their product Since the advance to eleven cents, the officers of the Asso ciation tell farmers to make eleven, in stead of ten cents, the minimum price at which to sell their cotton of the crop of 1906. While the outlook is favorable for eleven cent cotton throughout most if not all of the present year, there seems no special need to urge a change of the minimum price as fixed at ten cents. The naming a minimum price, and be ing able to sustain it, are two different things- To fix such a price as will give cotton growers a safe margin of profit for their labor and expense of crop raising, ought to be the minimum price. If ten cents is such a figure, why set it at eleven cents? The extra cent is purely speculative, based upon changed conditions. Every cotton grower who can read a newspaper, must know of the advance in the price of cotton, and that eleven cents is now nearer the market for hia cotton, than nine cents was when the crop began to move. Therefore there is no need to warn farmers 'not to sell their cotton at less than ten cents. But is there no reason to make eleven cents the minimum T Then with a further advance, twelve and. thirteen cents could be . fixed minimum price. In other words, is the minimum price to be determined upon the speculative markets, or upon $ basis of protection for the cotton grow er, himself giving him a margin for his labor and crop expenses?. . Certainly the latter seems a basis of reason.. It is one of protection, not arbitrary as to the manufacturer or consumer, and gives the mill men something which they can follow, instead of watching the flucuations of the speculative mar kets, knowing that the Cotton Growers price is silding up and down, as the peculations may force prices oa the cotton exchange. , As the Southern Cotton Growers As sociation shall fix ha cotton price, to meet conditions of labor and expense. so as to give just returns to the pro producer of the staple, the a; ore it wiU be able to sustain its price. When it keeps the speculators in view, and seeks toibe governed , by their actions, the less will be its good as an association. and its control over its membership.
