1t is doubtless true that the ncws-

South Carolina, are harder hit on
account of the war than auv other
business in the state. Yet one has
not heard of hardly complaint
about the hard luck which they have
had, and the consequent hard times
they are experiencing. There is
hardly newspaper in the state that
has not had to lay off part Of it's
force, and nobody of men anywhere
are responding more nobiy to The
increased demands upon them As a
consequence than the newspaper
makers who have remained on the
job. One would hardly think that
a depleted staff and force could get
out the newspapers, as they are
nearly all up to their usual excel

is being done by not more than two
thirds regular force in many
places.

The cotton acreage reduction law
passed by the special session Of the

he cannot plant more than twenty

means not more than ten acics in
