Your flag and our Rag,
And how it floats today
Der your land and my land.
And half the world away.
Blood-red and rose-red,
Its stripes forever CLEAN:
Snow white and soul white,
The good forefathers' dream.
SKY blue and true blue.
With stars that beam Alright;
A gloried guidon Of the day,
A shelter through the night.
Your flag and my fiag-
Oh, how much II holdsI
Your heart and my heart
Secure within its folds.
Your heart and my heart
Beat quicker at the sight;
San kissed and wind tossed,
The red and blue and white.
The one flagl the great flagl
The flag for me and you!
Glorified, al else beside,
The red and white and blue.

THIS A COTTON COUNTRY

South Carolina is In the center of
the great cotton producing area of
the country, and 1t is folly to think
that her people will ever cease to pro-
duce cotton, because God Almighty
intended that cotton should be grown
heTe,' was the remark made recently
by one OF the we'll known a%gricultur-
al thinkers Of the State. "They can
build grain elevators in Marlborough
county, but when ever cotton goes up
to ten n a pound, their elevators
Will rot down in emptiness" contin-
ued this farmer. His opinion was that
1t fs q mistake Just now to induce the
farmers to erect grain elevators be-
cause of q temporary low price for
cotton. LET the farmers Of the State
make everything they need at home,
and make cotton their surplus crop.
and then we shall have no more hard
times" was another remark by this
gentleman.
There is at least food for thought
In the above. and we trust our farm
ers will think Of it. especially this last
sentence. And, in this connection. The
f~nteiligancer would urge the local
chamber Of commerce to agitate and
engineer the adoption Of a public
market In Anderson county for the
farmers Of this section of the State.
Thousands OF dollars worth OF farm
products could thus be disposed of,
and doubtless the entire surplus grain
crop could as we'll be handled in this
way "a In a grain elevator for many
years to'come. 1t is worth trying any
wey.

goes as In the Past.

CHICAGO Dec. 3o.-shipment of
all food supplies handled ny Chicago
packers to Europe has ceased com
pletely in the last six weeks because
OF the seizure OF meat cargoes. by
Great Britain.
The statement was made here today
by Alfred Urion, attorney for the
packers, who said protests had been
made previous to the presentation of
the case to the British government.
When the first seizure was made
six weeks ago, OF thereabouts, we
thought that it might be an error
which could be easily adjusted, but
the continuance Of this practice prov
ed. that we were in error and we have
been pressing the state department
for assistance" said Mr.. Urion.
Meanwhile II commerce with Eu-
rope has been driven from the seas
and no revival seems probable until
satisfactory assurances are received
from London"

Scarcity Of carriers and the risks Of
transportation have increased trans

men is approximately half that sum.

THE CONFERENCE TODAY

The meeting of the Anderson county
delegation which will be held today
to discuds propofed legislation for
Anderson county, is wise. 1t is we'll
for them and the people to get to-
gether and talk of things which will
be needed for the continued growth of
this county, and for better serving the
interests Of the banner county OF
South Carolina, the Greenwood Jour
nal of the contrary. Notwithstanding,
But there are some things of State
wide importance that should also be
given attention, and we would like 10
see the Anderson county legislators
forge to the front in the halls III the
State Legislature, and show to the
State that this county sends states
manlike timber to help make the laws
OF the State. The delegation-elect Is
capable Of doing this. and we trust
they will not be at all backward in
coming forward when opportunity
presents ITSELF.
Locally We are very much interested
In seeing a bond issue for the county
for the purpose of making some per-
manent roads that will stand the
wear OF travel and the destructiveness
OF winter. If the legislative delega-
ton does nothing else Of a local ma
ture but provide for an election to
pass upon the bond Issue, there will
BIO ample justification for the thanks
of a grateful people.
OF course the Anderson county dele
cation will stand for the referendum
on the question of submitting to the
voters of the State the matter OF
State wide prohibition. This county is
dry and the overwhelming sentiment
here is for prohibition, so the delega-
tion. being representative, will stand
for the referendum.
We shall look for some really con-
structive legislation OF the part Of our
lawmakers, and we know they will
not %disappoint their fellow citizens.
The State will soon enter ON q new
era, and we must be on the 1ui vive
for her welfare.

The third German advance on War

cording to the view of the military sit

at Petrograd. In that territory the
Germans, who have been fighting
iercely for weeks past, have suffered
great loses and they have failed to
break through the Russian line, which
has been greatly reinforced before the

has restrained many American export
ers, who fear risks involved in ship
ments.
With respect to cotton shipments,
the case OF one or two illegitimato
cargoes, it Is recognized, has caused
the British government to suspect all
shipments.
The United States has no evidence
that there has been contraband CON-
cealed in cotton cargoes, but England
has made two specific complaints and
the American government has issued O
warning that one fraudulent shipment
must produce embarrassment to car
goes generally.
Secretary Bryan declined to give
any details Of the note today. He de-
scribed 1t as a general statement
summarizing the American position in
several specific cases. Neutral diplo-
mats were not given a copy Of 1t, but
were informed that the first newsna-
per report OF 1t was accurate. They
were told that the state department
still regarded the note as confidential.
The general points of which the
note complains and which have been
the basis OF several specific protests
hitherto are substantially as follows:
/. American cargoes have been
searched on the high seas-a belliger-
ent right that Is not ~denied-but the
ships also have been diverted to ports
for further examination, a circum-
stance held not Justified under inter-
national law unless full proof of hos
tile destination Is presented at the
time. Serious loss. especially to per-
ishable gecds,. has resulted frcm such
delays in o ships voyage. /;
2. Great Britain has regarded alb
solute and conditional ~contraband as
In the same class. The general un-
Outstanding In international law has
been that absolute contraband includ-
es articles intended for use by a bel
hgerent force and directly destined to

Efoodstuffs, comprises articles suspect
fble for use. by an army or navy, but It
must be proven that these products
are destined for armed forces.
3. Irrespective of the controversy
over what .constitutea absolute or CON-
ditional c~ontraband in commerce be-
tween a neutral and a helligerent
country, tho note sets forth that In
respect to commerce between two neul
trail countries, there ought to be no
question OF c~ontraband at all, for the
relations are those OF, peace and not

DEFINE DUTIES OF EACH

For some time there has appeared
to us a danger of a conflict in interest
and work between the labors under
taken by Clemson College and the
State Department Of Agriculture,
Commerce and Industries, OF which
Hon. L. J. Watson Ia the head. There
appear to be dangers hat there will
be two heads TO the agricultural
work being done in this State, and we
have thought IL not a bad idea for the
approaching legislature TO define the
duties Of the two departments 80 that
there will not be any conflict. That
the Hon. f. ]. Watson has done some
very efficient work in South Carolina
no n will doubt, but his duties should
be so clearly defined that he will not
overstep and interfere with the work
being done by Clemson College in it's
extension work under the Hon. w. W..
Long, than whom there is no more
able and devoted worker for the agri-
cultural interests OF the nation any
where. It occurs to The I~ntelligencer
that by the time Col Watson attends
properly TO the inspection duties of
his office and those problems coming
up under the head Of Commerce and
Industries, he will have but little time
to devote to grain campaigns" etc.
The advancement of science in the
matter of agriculture has been mar
velous. and n should be a deep
student Of this science as we'll as a
practical farmer to. speak to the peo-
pie and advise them as to what to
plant and how and when and where.
Col. Long and his large corps of eff
cient workers, impress us az being on
the job all the time, and fully able to
conduct campaigns Of education and
instruction. That Col. Watson fell
down on his recent grain campaign"
Is an evidence that the people Of the
State do not wish for those outside
to take a hand. Hot air" is good, but
farmers have had too much OF this
for their good. and they are getting
wise to this fact.
Without desiring to detract from
the good work that Commissioner
Watson has done and can do. we feel
that his department should not inter-
ferc. or appear to interfere. with what
Col. Long and his assistants are do
ing. These men are trained in the
problems confronting the State, and
ii q truly great State system OF farm
demonstration work is to be built up
by Clemson College. they should be
allowed to do 1t in their OWE way. We
doubt seriously that the speech maxi
ing tours OF these State officials like
Col. Watson and Col. McLaurin, will
ever advance the agricultural inter-
ests OF the State. This has to be done
by men who will come into actual con-
tact with the farmer on his farm-by
men. IL you please. whose hands are
accustomed to the plow. and who are
intimately associated with the prnb-
lens Of the soil.
So. we feel that IL Anderson county
legislators wish to perform q last
ing service TO the agricultural inter-
ests of the State. that they will strive
to enact some legislation that will de-
fine the duties of these two depart
ments, and say which one of them
shall b. the official head OF the agri-
cultural work Of the State.
