Getting Ours Too.

Within the past week the price Of
newspaper has advanced ten cents
per hundred pounds. The price of ink
has also advanced very sharply in
the past few months. Typo metal has
almost trcblcd in cost during the past
year. Other supplies used every day
in the newspaper business have ad-
vanccd in cost accordingly.
And yet the subscription price OF
this paper remains at trc same figure,
and there has been on advance in the
advertising rates. You are paying
more for your groceries, your cloth
ing, your gasoline and everything else
that you use, with the exception of
your newspaper and your newspaper
advertising space than you have ever
paid before.
There is no moral to this story.
It's just to remind you that along
with the rest Of you who are feeling
the effects Of increased prices, the
newspapers are getting their share
OF the experience. c.-Andcrson Intelli-
gencer

BLACK ROT OF GRAPES.

To control black rot of grapes the
Botany Division of Clemson College
recommends spraying with Rnrdcanx
mixture. Apply Bordeaux just as the
buds begin to swell in early spring.
Make a second application as soon as
the leaves unfold and a third as soon
as tho frnit is set. After this, weather
eonuiLlons and tho severity OF tho
disease viii determine the number o.
applications. Ordinarily. 1t Is advis.
able to spray every two weeks until
the fruit begins to ripen. Black rot
IS the most common and destructive
disease Of grapes In South Carolina

A Pleasant Gathering.

The editor was fortunate in being
guest at the farm home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Y. B. WATSON on last Sunday
on which occasion large party of
their relatives and friends from Leon
and Lineville, to the number of over
thirty gathered there during the
afternoon at the old home farm
where several of the guests were
born and reared and around which
clustered the dearest memories of
their childhood days. The same old
time hospitality that has made the
home noted and famous since the
pioneer days still pervades the spot
and gives a generous welcome to all
corners. 1t was a genial and jolly
crowd which filled the rooms of the
old home and lounged in the shade
on the breezy lawn, their only occu-
patton talking and feasting on mel
ons. Those present were MIR. and

PRINT PAPER STILL GOING UP.
Paper Now Costs More Than Three
Times as Much as i'm january.

Print paper still continues to soar,
and the cheapest grade is now quot
ed at cents per pound and freight,
while the paper we were using on
The Reporter last January cost us
~ cents per pound delivered at
Leon. That is an advance of more
than 800 per cent, and there is no
rellet in sight, the paper dealers pre-
dieting that prices will go still high
er. The situation is forcing many
papers to suspend, and others have
increased their subscription price.
The Reporter does not want to make
an Increase in it's subscription price
II it can be avoided, but unless there
Is some relief in the cost of producing
the paper we will be forced to.
we trust our subscribers will rea-
lie what we are up against in this
matter, and while we cannot guaran-
tee how long the present price will
be maintained, we will continue to
receive subscriptions at the old price
Tof S1.5O year.
LOOK up the date tag on your
paper, and send in your renewal. We
need every dollar we can collect on
subscription to meet our enormous
paper bills each month, and we hope
you will send in your subscription at
once without the necessity of our
having to send you statement.
Don't put this matter off, but at
tend to it at once. 1t may save you
some money.

Letter From Ray Parker.
U. S. S. Utah, Hampton Roads

00pL. fCu, lJlO.
Dear Folks:-At LIST the fleet has
tleft Newport, r. l. We left Newport
Aug. 80, and arrived in the Roads
Sept. and the ships commenced
coaling according to their numbers
AS soon as the GOLFERS finish coaling
one ship they go to the next and
start coaling regardless of the time
We were fortunate as the collier
came alongside at noon and we were
finished at o'clock, having taken
on I'LL tons.
Today is Labor Day and we are
not working, at least l am not. We
had chicken, stewed, for dinner, also
sweet potatoes and apple pie, very
Satisfactory"
There is only one complaint ]
have to make about the quality OF
the foodstuffs issued out to us and
that is the beef. For the past six
months in particular we have been
getting inferior beef 1t isn't rot
ten, t it seems to be oyerripe, OF
maybe too we'll cured, and has a
woody taste. Not long ago . the
doctor inspected the ice box and con-
demned some of it to be thrown over
boara. The paymastcr would not
consent to it and then the captain
inspected. The meat went overheard
and judging by the smell and looks
an expert would not be needed to
know what should be done. There is
where the commissary department s
biggest graft comes in. Dealers are
anxious to get doubtful stock off of
their. hands. AS a special induce
ment to the buyer the selling agent
makes discount of some per cent.
The buyer pays cash for the goods
minus the discount, but the goods
are listed at the original price on the
bill, signed by the agent Paid" and
turned in at the paymaster's Office.
OF course / could not swear that is
the way they do 1t but there is a
graft some place. We just took on
la new supply of beef week or so
ago and it was doubtful goods. We
get beef and potatoes three times a
day and they are serving it out in
the form of meat balls now. would
not be writing this now but the
navy" always takes such pains to
inform everyone that everything we
get is the best there is to be had and
there is some kind of a. prepared
cereal breakfast food we get occas-
