The Cry for Cheaper Bread.

Various industries are now suffering
from over production, but there seems to
be glorious sunshine for the millers and
bakers, and they appear to be improving
their opportunities and raking in the
golden harvest while the season lasts.
While wheat is probably cheaper and
more abundant than ever known before
since the foundation of the world, flour is
relatively dear and bread is sold in many
cities at famine prices.
In many parts of the West it is impos-
sible to receive and store the wheat as
fast as it is being hauled to the shipping
points, and the railroads are utterly I'M
able to carry the grain away as fast as it
is received. Owing to the great crop,
farmers are in many instances receiving
very little over tn, cost of production,
and there does not St IN to be any posi-
bility of the price Icing restored to any
thing like what it was a year ago.
While this is true the cry for cheaper
bread is going up from all over the land.
A Philadelphia paper says bread in that
and other Eastern cities is maintained at
war prices, and costs the consumer, be he
millionaire or Worklngman, as much as
it did when wheat was 100 per cent.
higher than it is now. 1t is probable that
the agitation for cheaper bread will take
definite shape before long, or as soon as
the excitement attending the Presidential
election shall have subsidized. The low
price of wheat, and the great output of
flour by the mills is bound to cause a very
considerable decline in the price of flour,
and when that is accomplished the bakers
will also be forced to sell bread at much
lower prices. No combination can long
keep up the prices of these articles, for
new establishments will be put in opera
ton, and the law of supply and demand
will speedily prevail, even if the great
regulating power of the household baker
should have no influence on the market.

CHffon and Crawford.

There is considerable interest felt in the
contest for Senator in the Second Sena-
torial district. The candidates are Hon.
Thomas Clifton, Democrat, of Reidsville,
and a colored man named Lectured Craw-
ford, running as Republican.
Crawford carried Mcintosh county
by 1914 majority and Liberty county
by PSI, making a total majority of 475.
These counties have heavy colored ma
jOrities, but did not poll full vote. TAFT
nall county is almost exclusively white.
In 1882 it gave Parker, Democrat, 625 ma
jority over Snelson, cOlored. From this
it will be seen that if the Democrats of
Tattnall turned out as usual Mr.. Clifton
is elected by a good majority.

The Montgomery Advertiser says the tax
payers of that State conceal a large portion
of their property which should appear in
the tax list. The leading Alabama papers
have been denouncing the tax dodgers for
some time, but men who will perjure
themselves year after year in order to beat
the State out of few dollars taxes are
hard to regulate. The man who know
ingly undertakes his property or con-
ceals any portion of it that is subject to
taxation, wrongs the honest taxpayer
just as much as if he took money out of
his pocket. If all would fairly and hon.
estly share the burden of taxation, taxes
would be lower, and honest men would
have much less to pay.

BOOK NOTICES.

DIR. SEWER. By Geo. W Cable, author Of
"Old Creole Days. 1.-THE Grandissimes,"
MADAME Delphine," etc. Boston: James
r. OsgOOd & Co.
This novel is written in Mr.. Cables
usual happy style, and constitutes a very
entertaining volume. 1t is a tale of life
in New Orleans, the most unique and il
teresting of Southern cities. While Mr..
Cable has risen to the front rank of Ameri-
can writer's, he has aspired to be the peeu-
liar representative of the new South in
the literary world. In this latter object
he has not been successful.
He gave ofense to the higher classes of
Creoles in his native city by delineating
the customs and language of the lower
classes Of CreOles as the type of Creole
life. In "Dr. Sewer" he goes beyond the
new South in his enthusiasm, no doubt
in the main excited by the very kind
treatment ne has received at the hands of
the Northern press and literatOrs. The
intimatiOn that the South now admits
that the "LOst Cause" was unjust, which
he makes IN apOtheOiZing the Union
soldiers, does not represent Southern SEN
timent. The South not only acknowl-
edges its defeat, and accepts in good faith
the results Of the war, but it recognizes
the fact that the cause for which the civil
war was fought is lost forever. 1t has re-
turned to the Union fully determined to
be loyal to our common country and to
eXalt and defend the honor OF the United
States as bravely and earnestly as it
fought for the COnfederacy. Not only
this, but the South loves the Union which
promises soon to be a union or the hearts
of the people of all sections, as well as
political union. The South, however, does
not intend to ''bend the pregnant hinges
of the knee that thrift may follow fawn-
ing" as Mr.. Gable appears to have done.
The South loves the "LOst Cause and
cherishes an undying affection for the
memory Of those who gave up their lives
in its defense. 1t viii not, at any
time, be likely to adopt the senti-
ments Of those persons who would cast
obloquy on our past in order TO court
sectional favor in the present. DeseTters
in the war were despised by both friend
aud foe, and apOstate SOutherneTs, since
the war, have proven to be the greatest
enemies TO the South and her people.
A YANKEE SCHOOL TEACHER IN VIRGINIA.
By Lydia Wood Baldwin. Funk & Wag-
nails, Publishers, 10 and y Dey street,
New York. Price p cents.
This is a series of sketches Of life in the
Old Dominion Immediately after the close
of the war. The author has drawn largely
upon her personal experience. Life among
the negroes at the South is portrayed with
many evidences of intimate knowledge
of their habits, beliefs, superstitfons, and
modes of everyday life. Withal, the book
evolves many hearty laughs at the absurd
tiles related, and presents much that is
pathetic as well as ludicrous. The dia-
Iogues are reproduced, dialect and all,
with remarkable skill.
EVENING REST. By J. L. Pratt. D. Lothrop
Y Co., Boston, publishers. Price 25 cents.
This little work belongs to the Young
Folks Library series. 1t will be found
very interesting by young people. 1t is
written in a pleasant, easy style, and
teaches a good moral.
