Lessons Of the Siege.

Toxic, Japan.-After desperate as

face of heroic resistance, rivaled the
bravery of their forces at Port Arthur,
Using Tau surrendered. Governor
Meyer-Waldeck. following the hosting
of white flags on TIE forts, sent an off,
Ger, with a flag Of truce, to the Anglo
japanese lines.
At 4 O'Clock the Japanese and Ger
man, officers opened conference at
koltke Barracks, when the formalities
of capitulation were concluded.
The japanese officers pay unstinted
tribute to the bravery Of the Germans,
who fought tenaciously to the last Un-
official reports are that the Germans
blew up what was left of their forts
before surrendering and practically
the whole town is in ruins. A Japan
ese torpedo boat fotilla that entered
the bay found that nearly all the ships
had been destroyed.
The Allies Losses.
An official estimate places the
Japanese killed in the final assault at
35, with 1872 wounded. The British
took an important part in the victory
and two British officers were wounded.
No statement Of the German casualties
is available, but it is believed that they
were heavy.
The Minister Of War states that the
lessons learned from the siege were,
first, the destructiVeness of the new
heavy guns that the japanese used for
the first time; and second. the effect
iveness of the aeroplane observation
services, whereby the methods of the
defense were discovered. The prison

THEY WE'RE THERE.

Messrs. J. Allen Smith, F. +. Har'
rison and R. E. Cox were of the
number who attended the conven'
ton in Washington, held to devise
ways and means for financing the
cotton crop.
This editor wrote a short article
commencing these gentlemen for
their praiseworthy interest in the
South generally and in our county
particularly, and left it at home
along with other articles, to appear
in the paper. Imagine our surprise
when a few nights later we found
the article neatly folded in a book ON
our table.
1t is a little late to say it, but we
will say it again, and nevertheless:
the bankers of Abbeville are in more
thorough sympathy with the far
mers of the county than is the case
in any other county in the State.
We really do not greatly need ma
tional bonded warehouse laws to
back up the Abbeville county farm
ers' products, to have our banks ac-
cept them. Warehouse receipts are
taken readily here, as long as the
money holds out, and the money
holds out. Our concern is for other
counties and other Southern States
where there is not that bond of con-
fdence that exists between the Abb
beville county banker and the Able
Vile county business man and far
mer.
: During the panic of 1907 practical
,ly every county in South Carolina
was flooded with bank certificates of
credit. Such was the confidence of
our people in our banks, and the con;
fdence of our banks in our people
that we went quietly on paying our
bills in the good old weather beaten
bills that bore the signature of Uncle
Sans treasury officials; and there
was money enough to 60 around.
Abbeville is fortunate in her bank
ing business, in that it is conducted
by men of ability, and what is. more,
by men who have the fullest conf
dence of the entire citizenship of the
county.

AFTER THE FOOD TRUSTS.

Uncle Sam is right after the dirty
lot of spectators who have cornered
food stufs and forced them up alb
normally with the beginning, using
the. state of war as a pretext.
There is no good reason for food
stuffs advancing az they have in the
past three weeks. Granting that
there is unusual demand in Europe,
facilities for transportation have been
SO seriously crippled as to virtually
close foreign markets to our products,
If there has been a time in ten years
when practically all of our domestic
food products had only a home mar.
ket, that time is now; and there is
nothing to prevent this country from
receiving its usual supply of. beef, SUI
gar and other products from Other
American countries.
Investigation of the unwarranteG
rise in certain food products is being
had in every State in the Union
District Attorney Weston has issued
a public request that housekeepers il
South Carolina inform him of any
unwarranted rise in the price of foo6
stuffs. While the entire list is com
handing prohibitive prices, this con
dition has prevailed for many moons
but one item that seems to have
waited on the war is sugar. If thi:
article advances as rapidly in the
next two weeks as in the past two
weeks people will have to return t.
''long sweetning."
Think of the good old days wher
frying size chickens sold at II cents
steak at 10 and II cents, eggs at II
cents the dozen. breakfast bacon at l:
and IA cents, and then look owe

the load on the heads of families

plaud the act.
