Short on. Meat Animals.

Washington, February 1.-Short-
age of meat animals in the United
States was strikingly demonstrated
by comparative figures to-day made
public by the department of agri-
culture. The report showed that
there are nine less beef cattle, seven
less sheep and three less hogs now
for each 100 persons in the country
than there were in 1910.
While the population of the coun-
try is estimated to have increased
from 91,972,OOO to 9S,646,OOO in the
past three years, the number of beef
cattle has decreased 1919 per cent
and of sheep SO per cent. The num-
Der of swine increased slightly, 1.3
per cent. but it did not keep up with
the proportional growth of popula-
ton.
In spite of the reduced number it
is estimated that the value of cattle
in the country, increased from ST.
534, 100000 IN 1910 to $3.50, 0,0S7,-
600 on January /, 1914.
This increase in value, however,
the department pointed out, does
not necessarily mean tina. farmers or
stock raisers are making more, if
any profit. On the contrary, the
cost of production has probably in
creased more rapidly than the in
crease in the selling price of live
stock.
The very fact that there is a pres
ent shortage of nearly 100000
meat animals in the United States
since the census of 1910, indicates
clearly that the business is not pro-
ttable to producers

Two Negroes Killed.

The negroes are keeping up their
record of killing each other in this
county. Last Thursday a negro
named Richard Moultrie was shot
and killed by James Rice, the kill
ing occurring on the plantation of
Mrs. P. w. Sandifer. Rice made his
escape, but as the dead negro was
found in a house with pistol in his
hand, it looks to be case of self
defence.
On the plantation of Mr.. o. E.
Kearse, in the Kearse section, last
Saturday night, Freddie Breland shot
and killed John Sparks. 1t appears
that a crowd of negroes were drink
ing and passed Breland's house,
cursing, and that Breland fired his
shot gun several times to frighten
them away, but one load took effect
in Sparks side, killing him. If the
negroes keep up the rate of killing
each other in this county as they
have for the past few months, they
will solve the race problem.

THE CITY MANAGER PLAN.

All this talk about the city manager

ctples and the Age-Old scheme OF one

regarded by many as q reactionary in
his day, il he were living, would be out
campaigning for the city manager plan.

as one OF the foremost progressive0,

THEY DON'T KNOW THE SOLDIER
There are some advocates of peace
whose tempers are such that they are
willing to fight for it. Moreover, not
a few of them have a more than oc-
casional sneer for the soldier, who
they seem to think looks upon peace
as a plague. Take the armies of the
world, number their individuals,
sound their opinions, and 1t is a safe
premise that the average of sincere
peace advocates will be found to be
as high as that struck from an equal
number of civilians. It was not long
ago that Brigadier General w. p
Hall, an American soldier Of tried ex-
perience and who wears a decoration
for conspicuous personal gallantry in
the face OF the enemy, made a tour
