When the rural credits system be
comes thoroughly established it will
prove a great blessing to land own
ers, but borrowers in this teritory
are going to experience considerable
trouble in perfeting abstracts of
title as our forefathers were exteme

1 mds and recording deeds. For this
r. ason there are thousands of acres
hereabouts on which mortgage com
panies refuse to advance loans.
Whether they desire to borrow mon
ey or not to borrow money, land
owners should investigate their ti
ties and straighten out the records
in the offices of the Superior Court
cLrks as a safeguard against fut/ifra
entanglements.

Notice to Subscribers.
On January i, 1917, The
News will be sent only those
who have paid their subscrip
tions in advance. The sub
scription price will not be
raised, but the high price of
paper, ink. etc., makes it nec
essary that we save the ex
pense of bookkeeping and col
lecting. The amount is small
to each subscriber, but keep
ing the record of more than
fifteen hundred subscribers
and looking after collections
is no small matter, and it re
quires too much of our time.
Look at the label on your
paper this week, and if you
are in arrears, drop in and
even up and pay a year in
advance.

EIGHTEEN CENTS COTTON.
Cotton is selling on the streets of
! Winder this morning at 18 cents per
pound. Tills is the highest price paid
, for cotton in this section in our meat
ory, and we have pass, and tin- half
century mile post.
Even at this price, some of the
farmers tell us they will hardly make
enough to pay for the expenses in
curnd in the making of the crop.
But then, they must admit that ar
i 7 cents they would have been in, the
middle of a bad ifx. At a dollar
p-und, some near-farmers wou’d have
a kick coming.
If we had a cotton pwfctfh, and cot
ton was selling at 18 cents, we
would line up the family in the field,
and when evt r a boll popp* and open
there would be a rush for it.
