Wheat GROWING.

In looking back over the files of The
Enquirer twenty-five years ago, the
editor is reminded that in those COM
paratively recent days. only small
per cent of the corn necessary to run
the farmers was purchased at home.
The paper contains comment after
comment calling attention to the i'm
mense quantities of western corn that
was being brought into this country,
along with numerous editorial eXhor-
tations for the production at home of
at least sufficient corn for home re-
quire ments.
The argument of those days was di.
rected against bad economic policy,
the Cultivating of all cotton and the
selling of the cotton to pay for the
supplies used in the production of it,
Farmers bought their supplies of the
west-their corn and their meat-and
when their cotton was sold it seldom
brought enough money 10 pay for
what had been consumed.
Most of the older men of today whose
memories of agricultural conditions
extend back to the Civil war will agree
that almost without exception the old
time farmers who persisted in raising
nothing but cotton, went TO the wall

The military expert of the London
Daily Mail estimates that the war will
not end until 1917. The estimate is
based on the belief that the Germans
will commit no great tactical error.
The Daily Mails authority divides the
war into six periods-two past, one
present and one to come. The first pc
riod was the German advance through
Belgium into France. The second pc
riod was the battle Of the Marne and
the German retreat to the Aisne. The
third period comprises the fighting on
the Aisne, continuing and developing
into the battle Of Calais. The fourth
period will be the German retreat and
a battle on the Meuse. The fifth peri
cd will be a further German retreat
and a battle on the Rhine. The sixth
period will be the allied march on Ber-
lin. The expert estimates that the bat
tie Of Calais will not end completely
before the beginning Of December. He
assigns period Of five months for the
battle Of the Meuse. bringing the end
Of this battle in April or the beginning
Of May, 1915. The campaign on the
Rhine, he estimates, should last nearly
twice as long, or until February, 1916.
The final march to Berlin and the ne
gotiations for peace, he figures, should
bring the war to an end with the final
withdrawal Of the allied armies Of oc-
cupation in 1917. The estimate gives
the total period Of the war as rather
less than three years. 1t is presumed
that the Russian advance will occupy
a similar period and that only the
steady combined pressure Of the allies
can bring matters to a conclusion with
in the period suggested. He assumes
that the German forces will withdraw
steadily and that there will be no sud-
den collapse on either front.

In the old days most Of the South
Carolina daily newspapers devoted
themselves mainly to the spreading of
the light of truthful information, and
now the sole object of many Of them
seems to be the promotion Of the
schemes of the interests by which they
are owned. Would that there could be
return to original principles, and
that all of our papers could be lifted
above the undignified and disreputable
condition of personal interest press
agency. OF course the public will re-
volt against these things eventually,
but how much harm is being done in
the meantime!

The burning Of the Emden off Cocos
Island, and the bottling up of the Koe-
nigsburg off Malta Island, has afforded
much relief to the allies who have suf-
fered great anxiety and loss because Of
the activities Of these two daring ves-
sells. The Emden had just taken on
two months supplies when it was sight
ed by the Australian vessel that was
her superior in armament and guns as
we'll as speed. The Koenigsburg, when
discovered, had taken refuge some six
miles up the mouth Of the Rufiij river
in German East Africa, and the Cha
than, the British vessel pursuing, cam
not get within reach because of great
er draught. At last accounts the Koe-
nigsburg was still bottled up with the
Chatham on guard until vessels of
lighter draught could be procured.

Cotton is worth Is cents a pound in
Bremen and 10 cents a pound in Ham,
burg. That sounds good; but it does
not mean a great deal to the farmer
who would be glad to sell at cents or
cents. All Germany cannot handle
more than $4,000 bales of cotton a
month, and two months supply ahead
would quickly cut the price down to
two or three cents above the American
market. In a like manner American
cotton is selling in the local markets of
this section at slightly over I cents;
but no considerable quantity of cotton
can be sold at that price under pres
ent conditions. An effort to market
prices down almost Immediately. o.
course we cannot speak for the indi-
vidual right now. He can dodge III
and sell few bales at the present
market price without hurting any
thing; but when large number of in
dividuals try this, prices will break
and break sharply. Speaking for the
south as a whole, there is no question
of the fact that it is much better to
borrow and pay debts provided the
money can be had, than il is TO try to
sell. If the cotton owners Of the south
could borrow on their cotton to pay
their debts, and keep the cotton off the
market, the crop could be marketed to
much better advantage than if sold at
the market price for immediate con-
sumption by the mills. In the one case
the mills would have to keep bidding
until the owner Of the cotton should
be tempted to let go, and in the other
case the mills would only buy enough
for immediate consumption leaving
the owner to carry his load until the
mills get ready for it.

One Of the greatest mysteries of the
recent extra session Of the general as
sembly is why certain newspapers who
at first showed a disposition to boom
the proposed bond issue, suddenly fac
ed about and began to fly-blow it. We
would like to see some explanations
from these papers: but are not looking
for anything Of the kind.

Cecil Raleigh, author of The Whip
the serial story published in The En-
quirer several months ago, died in
London, Tuesday, aged 5S years.
Citizens of Bethel have advised The
Enquirer that glowing reports Of few
isolated instances of good corn crops in
the hail stricken belt are calculated to
create a false impression Of actual
conditions. There are some cases of
wcllto-do farmers, amply able to hell
themselves who planted corn and other
crops Immediately after the terrible
hail storm and who have made good
yields; but where there is one such
case there are a dozen who are either
able to plant nothing or have yields
that are not worth gathering for any
other purpose than forage. Most of
the people who were hurt by the hail
storm are still hurting.
There are a great many people who
look with more or less suspicion on
special sales, claiming that they are
usually humbugs. That a certain class
of merchants sometimes use the spe-
cial sale as deception, there is very
little doubt. The practice is dishon-
est and it is bad policy for it loses out
in the long run. Generally the run is
not very long either. We are willinr
to vouch for all the various mer-
chants who are now offering special
sales through The Enquirer. They ap-
preciate the stringency Of the times so
different from what was expected
when they bought their goods, and
they know they have to sacrifice part
or all Of their profits in order to keep
things going. Many goods are being
sold below cost and people who need
to buy should take advantage Of the
situation. There is no sense in ones
buying things he does not need be-
cause it is cheap; but where one really
needs goods, now is the time to get
them.

Kind Appreciation of The Enquirer.

Kind Appreciation of The Enquirer.
of the number of well conducted
newspapers in South Carolina we look
upon The Yorkville Enquirer as not
only we'll edited, but on questions Of
moment requiring thought, one of the
most conservative in the state. 1t is
never extravagant in its statements or
conclusions, and always advocates
what 1t conscientiously believes to be
for the general welfare, and, because
of it's careful study Of public questions.
1t is frequently chided by the impetu-
Gus and ultra press. We have been a
reader of The Enquirer for many years,
and its editorial utterances are given
the most serious consideration by us,
therefore when such newspaper
stakes its reputation with its endorse
ment Of views similar to ours, we feel
that we are in excellent company. We
reproduce from that excellent news
paper expressions on the bond bill
which proposed to relieve the depress-
ed financial conditions in this state, in
order that our readers may see what
others think.-Manning Times.
