.60RN BREAD.

IN response to Clamp CLAIR. 5 ad
vice that there should be a greater use
Of corn as a food, the epieure Of The
New York sun makes this sage o.
seryation concerning corn bread;
1t was well thought Of in this eoun-
try as human food fifty, forty, perhaps
thirty years ago. But in an unfortun-
ate day even poor folks began to neg
lect corn. Dressed up as hominy it
still had a certain. popularity, parents
were willing that their children should
eat it thus Treated with baking pow
der, salt, plenty of rich cream and
butter, it was still made into hot
brea d some were not ashamed to eat.
/ This serves chiefly in this part of
the country, to show how little
the south and southerners are
computed as part of the country
and how little they know in New York
and other supposed enlightened centers
of what constitutes good eating.
/ 1t is assuredly not necessary to use
the past tense when corn as human
food is spoken of in the south. Corn
bread is used preferably by thousands
of well-to-do people of the south, in
the cities and towns, as well as in the
rural sections,
We know the virtue in this region
of the pone, the hot corn muffin and Of
egg bread" which, if our brethren of
the north ever knew, they are unfort-
innate to have forgotten.
Bob Taylor used to say one essen
tial difference between the south and
the north is "hot biscuit and cold light
bread" The negro cooks of the south
made hot bread for each meal praeti-
cable, while the thrifty housewives of
the north had baking days." when
enough bread was baked for a week.
That was where the difference mainly
lay. Corn bread is not palatable cold.
Pone, mullins and batter cakes made
of corn meal and served hot with but
ter are good, fit for the palate of any
gormand, and there are few southern
tables where they are not constantly
served.--Nashville Banner, -

THE PRICE OF IGNORANCE
AND UNCLEANLINESS

A friend Of mine, one Of this states
earnest and useful farmers and agri-
cultural leaders, died the other day.
He was just in the prime of life. He
died of typhoid.
Typhoid is q preyentable disease.
People get it from eating infected
food or drinking infected milk or water
If the excreta from persons with tv-
phoid were kept out of the things 9TH
er people eat and drink the disease
would be done away with. It is filth
disease. Every case is due to the fact
that someone-not necessarily the per.
son taking the disease-has not been
decently careful.

educated to the value of human life

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.

Owing to the greatly increased prie'
Of news print Paper and everything
entering into the manufacture OF
newspaper, We are forced to advance
our subscription price. Effective Jan
nary /, 1917, the price of The States
Graphic win be sl.5O the year.
We regret being forced to make tins
advance and only hope that the ma
terials entering into the makeup oil
the paper will not advance to such an
extent that this price cannot be main
tanned.
Let us give you some idea OF the
conditions which are now confronting
us. We are now paying $40 per ton
for paper which cost us SIS per ton
last year, and at that, We have to be
content with very inferior quality
In other words, there has been an adj
vance of more than 300 per cent in pa
per and other materials have advanced
accordingly But with all this, we are
advancing our subscription price only
80 per cent If we were to advance the
subscription price to $3.50 per year, 1t
would still be lower in proportion than
the present price of material as COM
pared with the price of that material
one year ago.
In addition to raising the subscrip-
ton price to $1.5O, We are going to be
forced to practically a cash in advance
sbasis in order to get along.
We have delayed advancing our
price, hoping that the prices of mate
rial would be lowered to something
like the former standard, but instead
Of being lowered, they are being con-
stantly increased and there is no like
lihood of decrease for years to come.
Other papers throughout the cOun-
try have long since announced the in
crease of price, and it is inevitable
that the few remaining ones will be
forced to follow suit or go out of bus
mess.

According to the bill rendered we
used some 10000 gallons of water dur
ing February, and we had a plumber to
work on the pipes in the office along
about the first OF the month. The big
gest water bill we have ever had, and
that, too, since the recorder holds that
nothing can be stopped in transit from
the express office to the home, and,
therefore, none OF this water could
have, been used as a tracer. And then
Henry Turner does not use water any
more freely than he should in the art OF
cleanliness, though we have been plead

paw YOU to read it. He has some phrases
in it which will last. Note this: The
United States was not founded upon any
principle of expediency; ii was founded
upon a profound principle OF human
liberty and humanity, and whenever 1t
bases its policy upon any other tounda-
tons than those it builds on the sand
and not upon solid rock" His definition
cf valor will live in the future, and is
fine. 'valor is self-respecting. Valor
is circumspect. Valor shtrikes only
when it is right to strike. Valor with

and entanglements and waits for the

in this speech which a great many of
our public men would do we'll to heed.
Il would a great deal rather know what
they are talking about around the quiet
hresides all over this country than what
they are talking about in the cloak rooms

The Columbia correspondent Of The
News and Courier prints some tlgures
from the report OF the solicitors IN
which he reaches the conclusion that
there is evidence Of law and order and
decrease in crime in South Carolina in
1915 as compared with 1914. The record
shows that in 1914 there were 2,59I
cases tried and 1854 convictions. In
1915 there were 3,2Io cases and 2,I21
convictions. The increase in cases was
twenty-four per cent, Just how to
reach the conclusion that this
record shows decrease in crime we
do not see. The percentage of convic-
tions was an increase of 3 per cent. The
increase in the number OF criminals was
"a per cent, and yet, according to this
correspondent, this fact shows de-
crease in crime in South Carolina. The
reason given, or the argument used, is
that the officers were more diligent in
the discharge of their duties and viola
tors of the law were brought to trial.
That may be, but the same prosecuting
officers are on the job that were in
1914.

There is one amendment we would
suggest to the traffic ordinance recent
ly passed by city council, and that is,
that motor vehicles that are required to
stop at the entrance to Main street be
required to stop before they enter the
street or cross it. There is no need to
stop after you have driven even half
way across Main street, because if you
are going to collide with vehicle pass
ing along Main street you will do so
before you cross it. There once was
a stop sign at one OF the streets is
Prosperity which read something like
this: Stop, and step before crossing"
That is a sensible thing to do. Not much
use to stop after you have crossed.
What good would it do to stop at a
railroad crossing after you had crossed
the tracks We see every day motor
vehicles stop at the streets mentioned
in the ordinance, but do not stop until
they have crossed Main street. AS we
have said before, ii does seem strange
that it should be necessary to pass laws
and ordinances to make people protect
themselves, but every day we see the
necessity for it, because when they re-
fuse to protect themselves they endan-
ger the lives OF others. This is good
ordinance if properly observed.

The gallon month law of 1915 says
you must get your gallon yourself from
the express office, and that if you keep
it at any place besides your residence
that you are guilty of storing, and that
you cannot take drink or open it in
your office or in the home of any one,
if you do you are guilty OF storing. We
do not see why the law makers struck
out that section which required you to
label your grip, because if you have
any in there you are violating the law
by storing it some place other than
your home, or you are Transporting.

DECIDEDLY STRANGE.

Whether or not the statement was au-
thorized by Representative ". R. Brad
ford, we are unable to say, but we have
seen published assertion that IN case
he sees fit to do so, Mr.. Bradford will
not allow the fact of his having beer
elected clerk to the printing commls-
sion of South Carolina to interfere with
his candidacy again for the position OF
Representative in the lower house from
York county. We would gather from
such a remark that Mr.. Bradford IN
tends making the race again to represent
the people of this county
Without desiring to criticise Mr.. Brad
ford we must say that this is certainly
something new under the sun If 1t can be
done. We never heard of any man IN
South Carolina being allowed to hold
two public offices at once and 1t cannot
be done under the law. The consutu-
ton OF 1895, article ?, section 2, says;
"But no person shall hold two offices
of honor or profit at the same time,
There can be but one construction OF
this section and under that one constru1-
ton Mr. Bradford is clearly forced to
relinouish one OF the two offices. AS
clerk of the printing commission he is
holding a position of honor and IS also
receiving $1,000 per year, which makes
the office one of honor and profit and as
a member of the house he receives $500
per session, which is also an office OF
both honor and profit, although some
might question how much honor there
is in holding seat in the legislature
If there is any other information on
this subject, by which a man might be
entitled to hold two offices at once, we
would like mighty we'll to hear about
it-York News.
Nothing at all strange about this, 1t
would be exceedingly strange if Mr..
Bradford should not hold on to what
he has and take all that is coming.
Where have you been all of these years?
You must have been asleep, or you are
speaking ironically Where is Senator
Tillman and Governor Manning and the
senator from Newberry and the repre-
sentative from Chester and the repre-
sentative from Richland, who defeated
a gentleman from your town? They are
all holding on to two offices and the
people are not complaining, Why not
Mr.. Bradford? There is a statute, it is
true, which makes it criminal ofense,
but who pays any attention to that
small thing? You should keep up with
contemporaneous history, my boy, and
'%hen you would not see anything so
strange in the reported action of Mr..
Bradford
Mr.. Bradford, we understand, is in
the employ of the State printer, but SO
far as we know Mr. Bradford is fine
fellow and will make a very efficient
clerk to the printing committee, So far
a; we are concerned we would just as
soon Mr.. Bradford have the job as any
one else; though, to be frank, we think
it is a job that could just as we'll have
been done away with, or not made, just
like some other jobs that have been
made by the recent legislature.
