! A storekeeper in Newberry has had
his finest Plymouth Rock hens hang
ing on the garden fence with her
neck between the pailings, dead. Sew
eral mornings after that he found
his large tomato plant box stripped
Of nearly every plant by the rats.
Even the hens and the rats are ado

The Laurens Herald is on the right
track when it says the following,
! which is applicable here and else
where: eff all the landowners in
Laurens county who rent their lands
to others would come together and
agree to take half their rent in other
products than cotton, there would be
a revolution in the farming industry"
Good for Clinton Gazette. See how
it helps in one of the things we are
aiming at: every family in the
small towns and villages should raise
at least one pig. Town ordinances
should be modified to permit this DUR
ing the term of war under sanitary
restrictions" Join in with The Her.

1t would help if the banks would
refuse loans to those wanting them
for an all-cotton program, and stipu-
late that the borrower must put at
least 20, preferably 40, per cent OF
the land cultivated in food and feed
crops.-Commissioner of Agriculture
E. J. Watson. Congress ought to take
a hand in this cotton planting busi-
ness
War and high prices is the talk of
the country. If these high prices con-
tinue we will have war right here,
for people will fght-before they will
starve. And who can blame them for
doing so?-Letter in Abbeville Medi-
um. We are glad that our ideas are
meeting with responsive echoes.
Let's keep up the agitation until it
amounts to something.
Mr.. H. o. Long who has bought.
some 5000 bushels of peas is still in
the market and is now giving $2.5U
the bushel. He is anxious to close
nd cfc hoY
any farmer who desires to sell bring
his peas right along. Mr.. Long has
done good part for the farmers by
coming to Newberry and making
market for this product of the farm.
We hope he will open market for
other farm produce and thus encour,
age the farmers in growing more.
The markets the thing.

One Of the many reasons whicn
makes Marguerite Clark so irresis-
tibly charming on the screen is the
fact that she seems to have no limit
OF versatility. The more roles she
plays in Famous Players Productions,
the more she seems to increase her
mastery of the art of screen acting
Always charming, she possesses the
rare gift of approaching each new
characterization with fresh view
point and of enacting her role in some
new and unexpected manner. See her
in "The Fortunes of Fif'' Thursday
at the opera house.
All honor to the cotton mills OF
Newberry which, in addition to the
increase in the wages of their opera
tives, are making life as easy as
DOSSlple LOT Luem III Lue mdIler VI
house rents, etc., and seeing that they
have gardens to plant. These corpor-,
ations have souls. With the great
help the mills are giving their de-
serving hands, the people in the vii
lagos will be aided materially in the
burden and struggle of buying -four,
bacon, sugar, coffee, lard and other
necessities of life, which the poor
man who has rent to pay has an aw-
full time doing on small wages.
My belief about the high prices of
foodstuffs is there is shortage and
rascals are cornering the markets
and have the war for an excuse
From a letter to the Abbeville Medi-
um. This agrees with what The Her
aid and News reporter has been say
ing. That's exactly it, and it is time
to call for recruits to volunteer for
the war against cornering the mar
kets. Spread the doctrine Of prepar-
edness for the conflict. Death to tho
money kings. Down with the whole
sale thievery. Now is the time to be-
Gin getting ready fast for the fight.
