THERE IS NO ROOM FOR IDLERS
The Pavo News is plain spoken as to the idlers
and grumbler and the pessimist. Here is what that
newspaper has to say of such characters:
“Every day people sit around on the streets
grumbling about hard times. They deserve no
pity. They deserve no clothes to wear. They
need the power of vagrancy law to put them to
work. This cry of no work to do is too thin.
There never has been a time but what a man
could get a job if lie tried- Go to work. Quit
staying in sight on the streets if you are not go
ing to work. Do something; put something into
life if you expect to get anything out of life.
Idleness will get you nothing but a job in the
devil’s work shop. Go to work- If you can’t get
what' you think you are worth, work for what
you can get. The laborer gets respect; the idler
gets the-very opposite.
The News is eminently correct. This is no time
for the grumbler and “hard-time talk” There is
plenty in the i<uid and plenty more can be produced
If our people will go to work and quit crying “hard-
1 times” and imagining that the country has gone to
the dogs. We are well off and the prospect for an
other year is far brighter than it has been during
the past several years. Crops this year were prac
tically normal; it isjtrue there wns not as much
cotton grown as in years past, but that was due in
a great measure to the reduction of acreage. The
hoU.weevil did not take hold so strong this year as
it has some yenrs since its advent in this section.
The tfotton growers have learned to treat wiffi the
pest and by plowing up and burning the cotton
stalks and using poison next year, the cotton yield
will be in proportion to acreage as'much as has been
the production thi-> year. Coton can be grown un
der boll weevil conditions—that much has been prov
ed and from now on three will be raised in this sec
tion and throughout the cotton belt's* much cotton
to the acre aa has been raised In years passed.
Let us forget that wc ever had the boll weevil
and hard times and use our efforts and pesourcea
towards the rebuilding of a country deva toted by the
pest and by the war. It can lie done and if our peo
ple will show the proper determination and accept
the advantages offered to them there will be no hard
times nor room for the chronic kicker and grumbler.

x THE COTTON SITUATION
Things are beginning to look squally in the cotton
situation, and while we are tfot alarmed the Banner-
Herald would like to call attention.to the fact that
wc have from time to time endeavored to make, plain
the insurance of the very condition that now con
fronts the textile industry. With three short crops
of cotton, and with consumption approximating nor
mal, it is inevitable that the crop on hand should
become exhausted and the present condition occur.
,As a result of buying orders flooding the Now
York market Wednesday’s cotton rose from 116 to
127 points net higher. This was $17.50 a bale ad
vance since the recent government report reduced
the crop estimate to 10',250,000 bales and as a re
sult the day’s prices were the highest since 1920-
One feature pointed out war the heavy buying of
European mills. It was said there must be wide
spread curtailment or there will not be sufficient
cotton to supply ail the mills.
The cotton mills . throughout the word had been
hoping for a full crop with lower prices and had
-been consuming their stocks to the lowest point with
this in vie\y. Liverpool was reduced from- the six'
year pre war average of 461,718 down to 81,000 on
September last When the report for September
and October from the crop gave an. inkling of the
real'condition, they began to replenish their stocks
but they have not increased their production. Liver
pool has now more than 200,000 bales on hand and
continental rtockx are also Jarger.
Lancashire spinners are in a quandary. Their stocks
are low and judging from a basis , of, ast year’s
itMumption the supply is limited and when they
wie to form u proper estimate of the wants and
.raying power of the buying public they fail to ar
rive at a definite conclusion. They have been selling
:on raw material costs under the present level, and
they are afraid to buy Inrgely and produce the goods
at higher cost for fear of encountering u buvers
strike.
••But all buyers’ strikes do not turn out according
t any fixed rule In 1920-21 the world consump
tion amounted to 17,019,000 hales of raw cotton. It
was then that the great buyers' strike took place-in
order to coinbat the higher prices. t But in l91p-£2
with buyers fairly eager fof'gdo'dk'at high’prices
consumption was only 18,211,000. it seems to he
hard to establish the real relation.
