The newspapers throughout
the country are leaving the
impression on the minds OF
the people that the American
soldiers are enduring great
hardships in their chase after
Pancho Villa. The cesonr-
ship is on so tight that those
papers have absolutely no way
of knowing what is taking
place and the reports are not
firmly grounded at all, but are
the products of kid reporters
who are paid by the inch for
the dope they fire in. OF course
we know that field service is
not as pleasant for the soldier
as duty in a post, but many oil
the regiments now in Mexico
have been in the field for three
or four years and service in
Mexico for them is out LITTLE
more strenuous than has been
border duty. The newspaper
reports that the soldiers are on
short rationS is entirely with
out foundation. One week
after the expedition had been
started General Pershing had
ten days rations for the entire
command and since that time
the supply has been equal if not
more than the consumption
hey are not enjoying the lux
uries they had here but are
being provided with the regular
field ration. Forage and grain
for the horses is being sent
from here and if the men were
needing food it would be sup.
piled and the horses erazed at
the times they were not on the
march. Majo Madden, the
quartermaster in charge of the
base of supplies here, is in di.
rect communication with the
front and when an order for
supplies of any nature is re.
ceived it is sent out immedi-
ately. The aeroplanes are of
great assistance and make reg.
ular trips to the front.

millions Of dollars are spent daily,

Its early discoveries Of the Mes
chacehe, or Mississippi, saw cottor
growing in 1925. It was the staple
product of Hispaniola, and in 175s
Jamaica exported two thousand bags
1t was stated in CAROLS Historical
Collections that experiments were
made on the Ashley river as early al
1910 in the growing Of cotton, ano
| it was found to thrive well, but fol
some reason it was given up, prob
ably because of the difficulty in sep
arating the seed. ~
The earliest attempt to plant cot
ton in South Carolina as a crop wal
made in 1748, when seven bags were
exported to England, bringing three
pounds, seven shillings and sixpence
per bag; again in 1851 cotton was ex.
ported in small quantities.; this die
not pay, however, and it was not un'
til 17sS-9O that it was planted as 9
market crop to any great extent.
In Ito there were shipped to Eu.
rope three bags of cotton from New
York, four from Virginia, two from
MARYLAND, and three from NORTH
Carolina.
In 1885 these exports amounted to
fourteen bags; 1885, six; 1887, one
hundred and nine; 1888, three hun
dred and eighty-nine; 1889, eight
hundred and forty-two, and 1890
eighty-one. . ;..
The first bags Of cotton sold IN
South Carolina in 1884 were purchas
ed BY: John Teasdale from Bryan
Cope. -.
In 1857, small quantities were sold
in Charleston, brought from Orange
burg; principally purchased by ladies
for lining bed quilts.
In 1894 an American vessel arriv.
ed at liverpool from South Carolina
AS part of her cargo we're eight bales
of cotton, which were seized on the
ground that so much cotton could moi
be raised in the United States.
The invention, of the cotton gin by
Eli Whitney. gave great impetus te
the growing of cotton in 1874. Al
first this invention was cheerfully
guarded and exhibited to ladies only
A man disguised as q woman saw
the working model, made certain i'm
provements, and so introduced it te
the public. y =
The state of South Carolina paid

dollars for the privilege Of tho fres
