Comforting News

One of the most interesting fore
casts for the coming winter on the
price of food stuffs is that butter
will soar to 60 cents a pound. and
eggs at 6 or Z cents apiece, or 10
cents a dozen, are expected. These
statements augur i'll for the consum-
ing public during the fall and winter
unless Hoover and his food admins
tration board succeed in lowering
prices.
Other articles in the food line are
also going up in the face of the bum
per 1917 crops. In spite OF the great
corn crop that is one of the largest
in the history of America, grist and
meal are scarce and the prices are
sky high. Meats of all kinds are high,
and there appears to be little posi-
bility of any relief in that direction.

LOOKS FOR 30.CENT COTTON.
Commissioner Smith Urges Farmers to
Store and Hold the Staple.

Col w G Smith. State warehouse
commissioner, has issued a letter to
the farmers of the State in which
he advises them not to rush their
cotton to the market but to take
advantage of the State warehouse
system and hold it for a better price.
The commissioner is convinced that
the staple will bring not less than
thirty cents.
In his letter, Colonel Smith de-
clares that there is plenty of money
in the banks and that the bankers
will readily loan on State warehouse
receipts, and at reasonable rates Of
interest. He says the years cotton
crop should be marketed very SLOW
ly as to rush cotton on the market
as rapidly as it is gathered and GIN
ned will lower the price.
Farmers should see to it that
the price of cotton is kept on a
parity with the price of other agri-
cultural products" says the letter.
Measured by this standard. the
market price should be thirty cents
and above; besides the manufacturer
can pay thirty cents a pound for
cotton and still make a fair and
reasonable profit on the manufac-
tured goods"

CONVICTED OF MANSLAUGHTER.
Deputy Sheriff Williams, of Anderson,
Sentenced to z Years,

After celebrating three hours, the
jury trying the case of Deputy Sher-
iff Jim Williams of Anderson, indict-
ed for the murder of V Barney Will
son on May "a. returned a verdict
of guilty of manslaughter with rec
commendation for mercy. The case,
which was called for trial last Thurs
day morning, attracted a great deal
of attention and the large court room
was packed throughout the day. Mr.
Wilson. the deceased, had been a
special employe of the Federal gov
ernment, and he was in the company
of Postoffice Inspector Curran and
Jake Gosnell. also a special employe
of the government, when he was
shot by Williams. The shooting oc-
Cured nine miles from Anderson,
late in the afternoon, after the Fed
eral court then in session had ad-
journed for the night. Williams
served as bailiff during the session
of the court.
According to the testimony, the
men had been drinking Jamaica gin
ger and whiskey and were in scuf-
fle when Williams pulled his gun and
fired three times. One bullet went
wild, but the other two took effect
in Wilson's body, causing instant
death. One of the bullets passed
through Wilson's body and lodged
in Curran's right hip, inflicting a
painful, but not serious wound. For
mer Governor Blease was member
of the counsel for the defendant in
the trial. Judge W Bowman SEN
fenced Williams to two years in the
State penitentiary. Williams is out
on bail pending proceedings for a
new trial

GOOD FOR CUTS
AND OLD SORES

Any person troubled with sore,
bleeding gums, which oftimes
are almost too sensitive to touch,
will be elated after rinsing the mouth
with half-and-half solution Of
water and natural iron, known as
"Acid Iron Mineral" which may be
secured at most every drug store.
Dentists use it to stop bleeding
and as a mouth wash when extract
ing teeth and it is perfectly harm
less. 1t acts as a germicide and
antiseptic as we'll as a splendid heal
ing agent.
For cuts, this same natural iron
is fine. Pouring a little on the spot
stops bleeding and prevents soreness
and fostering. Thousands of people
troubled with old sores never heal
ing have found the solution in Acid
Iron Mineral, which being a highly
concentrated form of natural iron
makes superb eXteral remedy.
Go to the nearest drug store and
ask for bottle of Acid Iron Mineral.
If druggists hasn't it, send 81 to
the Ferrodine Chemical Corp, Roa-
noke, Va, for a large bottle.

SAVE THE DOES.
During the Hunting Season Kill Only
Full-Grown Bucks.

The open season for deer is now
at hand in many parts Of the coun-
try and in fifteen States the law al
lows both bucks and does to be kill
ed. In the other States does are
protected at all seasons. The Unit
ed States department of agriculture
strongly urges that these fifteen
should make 1917 close season on
does. 1t points out that about 10,-
900, 900 pounds of venison are pro-
duced in year.
Since the does as a rule average
less in weight than bucks of the
same age, killing of doe instead of
q buck usually means considerably
less meat. Furthermore the de-
partment points out that the supply
of deer will not increase if the breed
ing stock is killed off. The rapidity
with which deer increases when does
are protected is shown by the ex-
perience in Vermont, Pennsylvania
and other States, and a doe spared
this fall means one more fawr as
we'll as one more doe next spring.
Several recommendation are made
by the department, as follows:
Do not kill spike buck or doe
when you can obtain full.grown
buck.
Do not kill deer when weather
conditions or difficulties of trans
portation prevent saving the meat.
Save every pound of meat.
Save the skin and the head also if
the antlers are in good condition.
Do not shoot deer al night, or in
the water, or unless you can clearly
see that the animal aimed at is full
grown buck. Failure to observe
this rule usually results in viola
ton of the game laws and often in
the loss of human life.

NO SECOND CALL FOR ARMY YET.
Crowder Says President is Not Consider.
ing Such Move.

Provost Marshal General Crowder,
in issuing new rulings concerning the
execution of the selective draft law,
last Friday reiterated that no date
had been set for second call for
men for the national army, and that
so far as known, no second call is
contemplated by President Wilson.
Rulings issued at the same time
provide that registrant whose or
der liability does not permit of his
being selected for the first quota
cannot, even at his own request, be
advanced and sent with that quota.
The acceptance of substitutes for
men selected for milinary duty is
prohibited, and local boards are in
structed not to consider claims for
exemption based upon discharge Of
a registrant from the army, navy or
marine corps at the expiration OF
enlistment or for some physical dis
ability since corrected.
Another ruling is that registrants
may in certain circumstances be ex-
empted or discharged to enable them
to continue in non-military pursuits.
but after they are selected for mill
tary service they may not be assign
ed to non-military service.

The farmer who does not own a
cow and few hogs next year will
begin to feel the pinch of wartime
prices in earnest. The scarcity and
high price of all fats is becoming a
matter of worldwide concern. The
owner of milk cows and hogs can
produce his own butter and lard
and defy high prices. but the man
who has to buy his fats. and with
out fats one cannot live, will have
to pay dearly for them.

The Crop Estimate.

Commercial Appeal.
Nature is smiling a bountiful har-
vest. God. in His generosity, ha.,
seemed to realize that if ever again
there is to be peace on earth and
good will to men it will be through
the Intervention Of the United States,
and has blessed this country with one
OF the most remarkable harvests VIC
have had in years.
Every ounce of food that can be Sc
| cured and saved will be needed. 1t is
almost impossible. even for those
closely in touch with the demands of
war. to fully realize the miraculous
means that must be brought into play
to meet the bare necessities entailed
by the worlds war.
The government August crop report
and the general rains throughout the
country during the last few days
bring cheer and comfort to the Unit
ed States and to the allies. The corn
promises to exceed. achording to fed
eral estimates, by 66,OOO,OOO bushels
the greatest previous crop, that Of
1912. The potato crop. while not so
prosperous in some sections, is, ac-
cording to the government estimate
the greatest in the history of the
country-1O4,O 100000 bushels above
the five-year average or a total of
467,0O0.OOO bushels. The oat crop is
the second largest on record in this
country. The wheat crop. however,
has fallen somewhat below expecta-
tions.
From the facts and figures submit
ted by the department of agriculture
there has been vast increase in near
ly every department of the farm.
Interest has quickencd throughout
the country. 1t may be said that this
merely marks the beginning. In a
year another story will be told. Farm
land that has been idle for years will
be rejuvenated. Already the States of
New England have gone back to the
agricultural industry that won for the
colonies their freedom years ago.
The necessity for food has kindled
determined spirit in the heart OF
the former to meet this demand
! If we have done exceptionally well
this year we will dc still create,
things next year.
In the meantime we must be eve,
on the alert and must avail ourselves
OF every opportunity. The days OF
autumn lay before the farmer and
must not be wasted. The work OF
the spring and summer must be SUP.
plemented by still greater work OF
autumn.
1t Is matter of congratulation thai
the bountiful crops of the country
came just at the time when " " will
be most needed and most u .eciat
cd. For this we will have reason tt
give thanks in November.
