County Dispensary a Money Maker

County Dispensary a Money Maker.
A news item going the rounds, con-
tains the following: "The Aiken
county dispensary system, as a mon
ey maker, comes up the expectations
Of its most ardent advocate" Well,
that is one way Of putting it, to be
sure. There are various and sundry
weaknesses of human nature that
might be commercialized and made
vastly lucrative to the city, county or
state treasures, undoubtedly.
But few crimes, due to whiskey,
may easily entail more cost to the
county than it gains in profit on the
sales of liquor. Who keeps the books
to show what liquor costs the county
outside altogether of the prices paid
for the stock of liquor sold? Where
is the ledger in which are charged
against this dispensary system all
those costs to the people of the coun-
ty, seen in degraded manhood, de-
stroyed efficiency, wasted resources,
broken hearted women. neglected
children, chained criminals, crowded
court dockets,
In the name of God and our coun-
try let us never lapse for moment
into thinking that from the public
viewpoint the liquor business is a
"money-maker." Whenever we are
willing to sell our manhood and the
happiness of our women and the
rights of our children for cold cash
wherewith to fill the public treasury,
in that day will our doom be written
by the Hand that has executed SEN
tence upon many people during the
long ago and it at this stern work
even now.-Spartanburg Journal.

FAITHFULNESS IN SERVICE.

The application of the word "faith-
ful' to ideas embodied in religious
life is common enough experience.
We think of the faithful man being
rewarded with the crown of life. The
faithful steward is held in high es-
TEEN by all ministers, for he affords
good field for emphasizing the need
for care in spiritual things. Faithful
ness in religion occupies a most
prominent place, as all will admit.
that business prosperity must rest
largely upon the same foundation
faithfulness on the part of employees
is as necessary in the physical world
as it is in the spiritual world. There
are more wrecks in business affairs
by reason of unfaithful servants than
for any other reason. Recently bus
mess man, a man of experience, and
who is even now the employer of
quite number of people, said to the
writer: az have reached the conclu-
sion that no business can succeed
without the good will of those en-
ployed to carry on its affairs" That
is just the heart of the matter-the
good will-that means sympathetic
cooperation, a rendering of honest
service; spirit of faithfulness to the
interests of the concern. BY this is
implied more than mere honesty in
handling of the cash. 1t is true that
one thief, stealing two dollars a day
out of any business would in a year
take out of the enterprise six hun
dred dollars in cold cash. That is,
such a rogue would steal in a year
sufficient money out of business to
pay 10 per cent dividend on six
thousand dollars. Such thing would
come near wrecking about any small
enterprise. But it is not of this pos
sible drawback to business that the
fxentleman was speaking. There is a
spirit of rebellion, of surly insubordi-
nation, of indifference and careless
ness that is equally as destructive of
prosperity in any business. 1t is Of
ten seen in the inattentive, rude man.
ner and utter neglect on the part of
employees. The marked difference of
attitude may be seen upon visiting a
number of mercantile establishments
and carefully observing the reception.
In one store the customer is made to
feel that he is welcome; in another
he is made to feel that his absence
would be more acceptable than his
presence. The business that is in the

THE FIGHT FOR FOOD

Various dealers in. food, big and
little, have declared war upon the
American people. The aggression
of which they are guilty is as ruth
less in some of its aspects as that
shown by nations in armies against
their enemies. No autocrat ever
proceeded with holder assumption.
No conqueror ever devastated a
prostrate state with ligher heart.
At a moment when the people
in Congress r making estraordi
nary effort to provide for an outlet
across tn. seas for the surplus foed
of this country the owners of and
gamblers in that food are kiting
prices. If the government should
do nothing to relieve the situation
as to exports, food is so abundant
that it would soon be roltipg in our
warehouses aud much of it would
never come to market at all.
THIS is the state of affairs which,
with war in Europe has led the
gluttons of the granaries and groc-
cries to anticipate famine, to
monopolize plenty, aud with no X
cuse better than a speculative
theory as to the future TO infict
upon their own c%ountrymen bur
dens that would not be endured if
imposed by government. Never be-
fore was there such a wildly orga-
nized eagerness for gain. 1t is a
rapacity which cannot wait. In the
belief and hope that there is soon
to be starvation in Europe, where
all is war it introduces privation IN
America where all is peace. 1t is
continental. 1t is also local.
Nothing Of this kind comes about
by accident. The men whs are
cornering food in the United States
operate with the precision Of 2
welltrained army. They actin con-
cert. They have a plan Of cam
paign. They have their captains
of tens and their captains of thous-
ands. From highest to lowest the
n controlling motive is greed.
They do not advantage by circum-
stances. Thew take advantage of
circumstances. Scarcity is not max
ing them rich. 1t is fvrestalling
and coercion and extortion that
they r depending upon to make
them rich.
In the presence of a conspiracy
so monstrous every prosecuting
officer in the country, federal,
state, county and city, is Eound no
less by decent manhood than BY his
oath Of office to asssil this piracy.
The assertion that we see merely
the law of supply and demand in
operation is false. Our supplies of
most food product greatly exceed
the demand and are likely TO do
SO for months to come. 1t is no
true and natural law but an untrue
and unnatural law that is now in
force. Privation has been manu-
featured to order, not as. a result
OF the demands of the day bat in
response to the desperate theory
that before another harvest en-
riches the earth hunger will rule in
some portions OF Europe. Avarice
its eyes upon the foreigners, has
already undertaken 10 strangle
Americans.
There are statutory laws that
will reach this crime. There is
common law ia many states that is
even more drastic. A thousand
prosecutions in as many important
counties would show in a week
whether food is deficient or mere
ly monopolized, whether rising
prices are due to circumstances or
to combination and whether the
starvation that threatens is justified

BREAD PRICES
TO co SOARING
Farmers Holding Wheat in
Kansas For Higher Prices.
Export Business For Novem-
Der Will be Poor.
BY JOSEPH r. PRTTCHARD.

CHICAGO, Nov. e Breadstuffs
are likely to advance to much higher
prices.
The head Of one of the larger
houses in the trade SAID TO the writ
er Thursday that insofar as their ex-
port business is concerned the month
Of November has been wiped off the
books, as they cannot sell only an Oc-
caSional boat load during this month
and that foreigners will be forced TO
wait for the more deferred mOn.hs in
order to supply their wants.
The foregoing are actual facts, and
q reflection of the actual situation in
wheat.
1t may be said that while the flu
ture wheat market was in an over
bought condition today. and that in
attempting TO secure profits on the
advances established there were net
losses for the day of rs GD 1c because
of the pressure shown. Word was re-
ceived here shortly after the close-Of
the days business that the export
takings were anywhere from $50 TO
200 boat loads in all positions and that
this grain was bought mainly on Eng
liSh account
one of the largest wheat growers in
the southwest in a letter TO the writer,
said that the larger farmers in his
part of Kansas are giving the market
llllle dlleNllOn at the present time as
they have refused to dispose of their
grain arOLnd these levels, but are ask
loo 15c per bushel more than buyers
at the leading points are willing to pay
and that q great deal of wheat is still
in the stack on the farms.
John +. L. Curtis, of Clement Cur
tbs and company. says that from re-
ports received from their correspond
entS throughout the winter wheat belt
there is a probability of the acreage
sOwn to wheat this fall reaching 49,
900, 900 acres.
That generally speaking the pros
poets are good, but in the far western
section of the belt dry weather has
curtailed seeding as we'll as the growth
of the plant
Wheat prices are not likely 10 run
away, as was shown by the recessions
today. Receipts at primary markets
were again enormous at 2,674,000
bushels. as compared with 1,259,O10
bushels for the corresponding day
last year.
Corn showed losses of $50 SAC to-
day. The decline was partially on the
improved weather throughout the
belt and partially on the weakness in
wheat.
Oats followed the other grains in
their price recessions losing 3-S q 1-2c.
Provisions were irregular and unset
tied because Of the abnormal condi-
tons surrounding the market at the
stock yards on account of the action
of the authorities in closing the yards
