on sugar is another one of the
wise things the Wilson admins
tration has determined ,upon.
The tariff on sugar is a revenue
measure and W. need the reve-

then Louisiana sugar growers
will not leave the Democratic

We cannot see why Mr..
Hearst's papers are so violently
opposing the Anglo-French loan.
To our mind it is one Of the
greatest boons the war has
brought to this country. The
loan of $500,OO0,0OO is not so
much a benefit to the lenders Of
the money as it is to the country
at large. The loan is to enable
England and France to buy orr
cotton, our meat, wheat and 9th
er articles. The money is to be
spent in this country for these
things. The loan is one of the
81 eatest helps to our farmers
and manufacturers that could be
devised. AS the ST. Louis Re-
publican well says: IF the cred.
it of England and France are
permitted to be destroyed it will
mean the ruin of American agri-
culture" The loan is about COM
pleted so there is not much
sense in kicking about it any.
way, but when we remember
the vast amount of this loan re-
mains in this country it is hard
to conceive how any American
could object to it, But the ob
iectors says it makes us help
keep the war going. All of
which is absurd. The war will
go on until the nations de-
eide to quit and our refusal Of
the loan would only hurt us oy
losing great market for the jale
OF our products.

The ''Man Factor"
At Florence, S. C.

a Man Factory" is being
successfully run by the State OF
South Carolina. This ma ac-
tory" takes boys who hay
mitted crimes or who are living
III bad surroundings or who are
unruly ana makes men out OF
them as far as it is possible to

The State has provided this
place to try to keep boys from

growing up into ignorant and

factory" is called the South Car
olina Industrial School. It, is
located just outside he CITY
limits Cf Florence.
The school is located on a
farm Of over a hundred acres
This farm is cultivated by the
boys III the school when they are
not IN the classrooms or playing.
Some of the boys are taught the
tailoring trade, and plans are on
foot TO teach other trades. Right
now the school needs mere land
IN order that it may raise more
supplies to feed the boys and
contribute to its support. Lack
OF money has prevented the de.
yelorm ent Of the man factory
along these industrial lines. All
the money appropriated by the
State for it was needed to feed
the 23O boys in it and to build
houses for them 10 sleep and go
to school in.
kecsntly, there has been an
awakening Of interest in the
work that the South Carolina
Industrial school is doing to save
boys of the State. A short time
ago Mr.. w p. Etchinson, the
judge OF the city court in Colum
bia, visited the school and en-
dorsed the work it is doing.
The parole system is in use in
the school. By exceptionally
good conduct, a boy can get
enough merits in 16 months to
be sent back to her home. Us
ually though the management of
the school finds it necessary to
keep boy there for two or
three years or longer. Taking
them as whole, it is hard to

boys in any other public school
