War Will Force a Change.

The announcement that some Edge
field farmers have wheat to sell is
pleasing information. This ought to
be food-selling instead of food-buy-
ing county. We have climate and
soil that will produce almost any crop.
While corn can not be grown as cheap
ly here as in the West where no COM
mercial fertilizers are required, yet corn
and the other cereals can be produced
in Edgefeld county much theaper than
they can bought in western markets.
AS the exports of corn and grain will
continue heavy during the European
war, the price will be out of reach
of the cotton grower. Let US hope
that the war will thus force the farmers
of the cotton belt to produce their own
supplies at home.

Sentiment Strong in Georgia.

By vote of % to 8 the Georgia SEN
ate has adopted stringent prohibition
bills, among them being the gallon-a-
month law, which has been SO helpful
in South Carolina. The large majority
by which these measures were adopted,
% to 8, should be noted, being indica-
tive of the strong sentiment that exists
against whiskey in Georgia. Mark the
prediction which The Advertiser made
last week. that the large cities OF
Georgia will yet be forced by the peo-
pie of the rural districts to obey the
law. Public sentiment is an invisible
force but it is also irresistible and
finally sweeps everything before it.

England's Position Untenable.

Recent events indicate that England
is giving as much or more attention to
restricting the trade of neutral nation
with neutral nations than to fighting
the Germans, and unless there is a
change at once in this unwarranted
course, President Wilson will be send
ing notes to England that will cause
serious reflection and, ultimately, a
change of policy. Instead of waglng
an aggressive warfare on Germany,
driving them from Belgium and Eas-
tern France back to their own soil,
making them feel something of the
ravages of war, England seems to have
adopted policy of wearing out the Ger
mans and letting the war drag slowly
along in the hope that the enemy's re-
sources will be depleted. Meanwhile,
England is making neutral nations suf-
fer by debating terms upon which
commerce upon the high seas shall be
conducted.

Why he Wants Prohibition.

A. travelling man, whose business re-
ouires him to visit number of cities
and towns, said the other day:
81 am going to vote for prohibition
in September, because l need it. /
have no trouble in Anderson, for we
have prohibition here and the lawis en-
forced, but when l. go to other towns
where liquor is sold the people with
whom come in contact buy whiskey
and ask me to drink. I haven't the
strength to resist, and then l buy whis-
key to treat them in return, and the
result often is that l get too much. If
whiskey were not sold in those towns
I would get along so much better.
That is why am going to vote for pro-
hibition."
We have heard many temperance
speeches but we have never heard a
stronger argument than this.-Ander-

Raising More Cotton Than the
ee4 World Needs.

Tempted by the big prices of the
preceding five or six years, which
ought to have enriched all of. the
farmers of the South who were
thrifty enough to raise their. own
foodstuffs, this section produced in
1914 cotton crop, including linters,
of practically 100000 bales, or,
to be exact, l6,926,s74 5OO-pound
bales. This exceeded the 1913
crop by nearly 100000 bales. 1t
was l,234, 900 bales larger than the
hitherto record breaking crop of
1911. This production was far be-
yond the worlds requirements, and
a heavy decline in prices would
have been inevitable even had there
been no war.
So long as the South persists in
raising cotton far beyond the
worlds necessities, so long will its
growers be forced to accept un-
profitable prices in every year of
extraordinarily high production. In
view of tie fact that it was known
even as far back as early last win
ter by intelligent men everywhere
that the crop would run from 49,
600, 900 to 100000 bales, it was
worse than folly for the South to-
have committed the blunder of put
ting as much land to cotton as it
did this year. Every cotton grower,
every country merchant and every
banker knew the situation fully, and
to have planted for anothSr fairly
large crop has only intensified the
situation.
We of the South have ourselves
to blame for having more cotton on
hand and in sight in the field than
the world requires, and as hard as
it may be for the individual grower,
the merchant and the banker, and
all other business ir terests connec-
ted with cotton, we have to face the
situation that we have too much
cotton. But there is no use in hys-
terics. With the increasing ware.
house facilities that have been pro-
vided, the ease in financial circles
as agaist the intense closeness in fl
names last wear. and with the CO.
operation of the Federal Reserve
Board, there is no reason why the
South, if it is wisely guided, should
not handle it's crop far more ad-
vantageously than it did last years.
1t cannot throw this crop on the
market without breaking prices,
but it can meet the situation, carry
the crop over. or such portion of
it as may be salable at fair figure,
and await the inevitable time when
the world will need all the cotton
that weare storing up, and need it at
high prices. Moreover, the South
can more nearly live at home by
reason of it's immense grain crop
than at any time since 18s5.-Man-
ufacturers Record.

No Booze for Medicine.

Another blow has been dealt to
alcohol. The medical profession has
abandoned it. Such, at least, is the
Interpretation placed on the omis-
sion of whiskey and brandy from
the pending issue of the United
States Pharmacopeia" an official
reference book used by pharmacists,
physicians and chemists.
1t is explained that up-to-date
physicians are generally agreed that
alcohol isn't much good as a medi'
cine anyway, and very few of them
now prescribe it as a tonic. The
commission in charge of the Phar-
macopeia nas had difficulty, too,
with the terms ''whiskey" and
brandy" Not being satisfied with
the governments authorization of
those names for various blends in
stead of the chemically pure arti-
cles, they chose to play safe BY rul-
ing out everything of the sort. 1t
was felt too that drug stores would
be subject to less temptation to car
~ on an illicit liquor business if the
medical sanction for keeping a
stock of ardent spirits was done
away with.

Ex-Gov. Blease Will Vote for Prohibition.

E4-GOV. 6ledSe w LII NolS Aoi 1AVsiApitAo1'
At one time, not many years ago
either, the prohibition ranks in South
Carolina were weak, comparatively
speaking, but the few advocates were
mighty in faith, in loyalty and in their
determination to fight the monster evil
to the last ditch. The tide has gradu-
ally turned and many of these pioneer
prohibitionists will live to see their ef-
forts crowned with full fruition on the
14th of September. Hundreds and
thousands of persons who a few years
ago were avowed whiskey advocates
are now equally as outspoken in favor
of prohibition. While there is practi-
cally no doubt that statewide prohibi-
ton will be adopted by considerable
majority, yet everyone that is won for
the cause will make the law easier of
enforcement.
Ex-Gov. Blease was at one time a
strong opponent of prohibition but he
has now made up his mind to cast his
ballot for prohibition in the approach
ing election. This will make it easier
for large number of his political
friends over the State.to cast their bal
lots against whiskey, In the follow
ing from the Yorkville Enquirer. Mr..
Blease's supporter and political friend,
he states his position upon the great
question that is now before the people:
'1n conversation with the reporter
at Filbert yesterday. former Governor
Blease said that he is not in the least
opposed to the prohibition movement
in South Carolina. "On the contrary"
he said, ~ am about ready to vote for
prohibition. The dispensary system
where it exists, is living on rebates,
and in most cases the rebates demand
ed are so heavy as to make it impossi-
BILE to give the public even a fairly
honest grade of whiskey. / am inclined
to think that the best thing to be done
is to wipe out the whole business. But
in this connection, / desire to say that
I have some doubts as to the constitu
tionality of this proposed referendum:
There is no question of the fact that
the general assembly has the power to
enact prohibition if it sees proper; but
as to whether it can delegate that
power to the people is doubtful, and it
might be wise to get up friendly test
case to enable the courts to decide. l
would not care to do it for the reason
that might invite misunderstand-
ing; but still I think it ought to be
done. OF course if the people vote for
prohibition, the general assembly can
confirm their action and that will very
probably settle the whole matter.

Time to Quit Splitting Up Coun'
ties.

There is too much of a tendency
in the South to split up school dis
tric,s and counties and neighbor-
hoods into ineffective small units.
Just as a community cannot support
schools and churches and farmers
organizations unless it is large
enough to include a sufficient num-
Der Of persons, just SO county can
not economically serve its people if
it Is too small in size. The Atlanta
Constitution does we'll to sound a
note Of warning against the multi
plication of counties in state which
has already suffered too much from
this tendency. Take a good-sized
county and it is easy to have a whole
time county school superintendent,
a whole-.ime county health officer,
a whole-time farm demonstration
agent. and an efficient road supervi-
sor. Cut this county in two and
put the people to the expense of
supporting two sets of county ofti-
GERS, two sherifs, two registers. two
clerks of the court, and probably
two useless treasurers where even
one ls not needed, two county homes,
two jails, etc., etc., and the result
is that word probably goes that the
people cannot have whole-time su-
perintendent of schools nor farm de-
monstration agent nor whole.time
county health officer. All the peo-
ple's money goes to pay salaries for
doing routine work, and every
form of genuine progress is handi-:
capped.
Search to the bottom and it will
usually be found that movement
for a new county is the result of the
ambition of some little town to be-
come the county seat. 1t is high
time for farmers to begin taking a
stand against such extravaganza.
Give us country communities
large enough to support strong
schools and other social agencies.
Give US strong counties large
enough to support government agen-
cies that really benefit the people
efficient officers working for better
schools, better farming, better roads
and better health-instead of small
er counties absorbing all the peo-
ple's taxes for merely keeping the
wheels going round. In union there
is strength. In division there is
weakness. 1t would help the South
great deal to consolidate not only
q great number of school districts
but a considerable number of
