NO RELIEF IN SIGHT.
West Virginia Government Is Admin
istered on Credit.

Charleston, W. Va, April 2.-It de-
ve1oped today that one of the state
officials who is not drawing his SAL
airy because of failure Of the late leg
islature to appropriate funds for the
running expenses of West Virginia is
Governor Hatfield. John S. Darst
state auditor, has asked A. A. Lilly
attorney general, for an opinion as to
whether he can borrow money until
such time as the legislature can be
called together to make the necessary
appropriations, and the attorney gen
eral has come back with a request for
statement of the moneys expended
by Darst and for what purpose during
the last several years.
Meanwhile the unusual condition is
being felt in all parts of the state.
Country schools are being closed, high
schools placed on part time, and COM
panies of the national guard are being
mustered out. The effort to have the
legislature meet without expense to
the state and pass appropriation bills
seems to have failed, and there is no
relief in sight.

pose they will be traced eventually.
Newspapers make a mistake when
they loudly try to lead the people.
The people don't want to be led. No
man of spirit cares to be lectured in
print like a little boy. We never at
tempted to take a subscriber by the
nose and pull him our way. Our
methods were entirely different
"a man, for instance, was running
for mayor. We believed he ought to
be beaten, but we didn't abuse him,
nor did we praise the man whom we
thought right to be chosen. All that
we did was to print from day to day
the names of the colored women, who
on registering, voiced their intention
of voting for the Objectionable can
didate.
''Then when the white women began
hurrying out to register we printed
their names, saying that they meant
to vote for the candidate whom we
favored. We kept to the facts, you
see, made no efforts to lead the peo-
pie, hadn't been arrogant and hadn't
pretended to be superior to the COM
munity in morality and intelligence

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
But Negro Champion Is Still Fayorite
at Long Odds.

Havana, April 2.-That Johnson will
win inside of 80 or 35 rounds was the
opinion expressed today by a majority
of ring followers who have been close
ly watching the training camp work
of ILL Artha' and Jess Willard for
their As round championship battle
Easter Monday.
Heavy betting which continued to-
day bore out the judgment of the ex-
perts. Odds now favor Johnson at

ager Jones of Wizards camp cover
ing huge sums of johnson money at
that figure. The odds, however are
dwindIing and may reach tow to one
Johnson on the long end at the ring
side.
Distrust in the seriousness of John
sons training is expressed by some.
He "grandstanded' through his show
yesterday, doing little hard work but
nevertheless appears to be in good
condition. He has little surplus
weight to lose. Johnson says he ex-
poets to enter the ring at 225 pounds
and Willard expects to enter at 24O
How much advantage this extra
weight will give Willard is pure guess
work.
Johnson is reported to be holding
secret morning workouts, training
hard and earnestly. He will have a
smashing workout Saturday with Sam
McVey and then rest I'D Sunday

HOW MUCH HIGHER?

People are vitality concerned in
many important matters with which
they concern themselves, but little
and yet in the elimination Of events
they criticize public officials and CEN
sure arrangements of big enterprises
unjustly. The law of supply and de-
mand is always going to be a problem
that will battle the theories of all who
try to controvert it. Supply source is
the very fountain head that must be
analysed before and satisfactory solu-
ton of the problem can be offered.
The Emanuel County Times, local
weekly situated right In the midst off
what we have always been taught to
regard as the garden spot of Georgia
farming discussing the question of
food and prices says:
AT present there exists in this sec
ton unusually high prices for pork,
and that the price will go higher
needs but little cooperative devel-
opment along the growers. At pres
ent fresh pork is selling at ten cents
pound for all sizes with number Of
producers asking twelve cents. This
is placing the man who is compelled
to look to the country for what he
eats in very embarrassing position
ard quite number have stated that
rather than pay the asked price for
Gpcrk they will forego their usual hab-
it of consumption and depend entirely
on the product that is shipped in.
TN defending the high price a
prominent producer stated that it was
costing in the neighborhood of ten
cents to grow pound of hog meat
butcher and dress it and haul it tc
market, while, on the other hand, the
man who is forced to buy says thai
his farmer friend is asking too much
that money is not yet growing or
trees"
1t will readily be seen that these
opinions are in direct controversion
but the latter deduction is an ilolgica
one, based only on supposition, while
the farmer is really not fixing his
price, but simply accepting that basis
which is fixed by the law of supply
and demand. Given a larger supply
Of foodstuff and smaller demand the
price would decrease, but with the sit
uation before us it now seems like i
will be long, long time before We
can expect lower prices for any kind
