We are accustomed to see men deride what they do not understand, and snarl at the good and beau tiful because it lies beyond their sympathies.—Goethe. Mm 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. 1 w on (tu 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.
