Our Bearings

of the Union, Daniel Webster said
that when the clouds were lower
ing and the storm gathering it be-
hooved us to follow the example of
The mariner under similar circun
stances, to consult the compass, as
certain our bearings and steer our
course accordingly.
While at no juncture of the world
war has the fortunes of the allies
been more critical than at the pres
ent moment, they have the advan-
tage of knowing fairly we'll where
they are and just what they must
10 and can do.
With the collapse of Russia,
which we may now consider def
nitely out of it, the struggle be-
tween the Central Powers and Great
Britain, France and Italy on the
western and Italian fronts becomes
terribly and desperately equal.
Lloyd George authoritatively de-
clares that the allies have super
iority in man-power in France on
the battle front and that the British
have considerable reserves at home.
This announcement takes into ac-
count no doubt, the reinforcements
withdrawn from the Russian front
and moved to the front in France
by Germany. The military CORES
pondent of the London Times esti-
mates that there are now about $50
German divisions on the western
front aud seventy-nine divisions On
the eastern front, but that appar-
emily all Germans between 10 and
s35 years of age have been taken
from the Russian front, which
would indicate that practically all
of Germany's effective Tor best eftec-
tlves have been massed on the west
ern fronts.

then, have been divided, aligned
and pitted against each other in ap-
proximately equal numbers strength
and resources, and are now in hand

Shipped Carload of Hogs.

The cotton growers of this section
who are sons and grandsons of cotton
growers are so accustomed to shipping
meat in from the West that the an
nouncement of the shipping of a car
load of hogs from this State is almost
unbelievable. Two farmers in Bam-
berg county sold carload of hogs to a
produce broker in Richmond tho other
day for S9S9.65. The announcement
is made that the raising of these
hogs was profitable, as they were
fed almost exclusively on velvet beans.
If hogs can be raised and shipped at
a profit in Bamberg county, it can also
be done in this county-wlth even
greater profit, we believe. The trouble
is our people have been SO accustomed
to growing cotton as their only money
crop that they are fDoubting
Thomases when any other source of
cash revenue is suggested.
A short time ago carload of corn
was shipped from Johnston and we.
hope before great while to have it
announced that Edgefeld county is also
whipping meat out to other markets.

A Loyal Pacifst.

AS paradoxical as it may sound,
Henry Ford may be said to be a game
pacifst. Everybody admires that sort
of fellow. Mr.. Ford has not only Of
fered to place his large auto factories
in the hands of the government to
manufacture munitions, in the event of
war, but he has now come to the front
with an offer to lend his large fortune
to the government without one cent of
interest. In considering this offer,
remember all the while that Mr.. Ford
is an ardent advocate of peace. How
ever, he is loyal to the core and should
his country become involved in war he
will be found in the front rank of de-
fense. The Henry Ford spirit is the
spirit that should be found in every
true Amanican's breast.

America Should Build Ships.

For many months practically every
business interest throughout the coun-
try has suffered from the car shortage.
So great has been the volume of busi-
ness during the unprecedented era of
national prosperity through which we
are passing that shipping facilities
have been inadequate. Just as this
car shortage has handicapped our COM
merce on land, 50 will the shortage of
merchant vessels at the close of the
European war make it difficult to trans
port our raw material and naanufac-
tured products to foreign countries.
When the war began there was scarcely
enough ships then to take care of our
foreign trade, and after dedncting the
thousands that have been destroyed
during the past two years there will
not be left sufficient tonnage to pro-
vide for a normal demand. Germany
boasts that she and her allies have de.
stroyed or seized as prizes of war mer.
chant vessels of an aggregate tonnage
of 4, 998, 900.
The United States should begin now
to provide shipping facilities. The fact
is, this country has never had the mer,
chant marine that it should have had.

News From Edgefield Schools.

The public meeting of the No
Dufie Literary Society held Friday
night in the high school auditorium
was quite success. In spite of
the dreadful weather a number of
visitors were present, and 1 feel
sure they were fully paid for their
trouble. The meeting was opened
with an Introductory speech by the
president. Mary Dorm rendered a
beautiful piano solo which was fol-
lowed by a defamation by Fred
Mays. Meta QUITS read a very in
teresting essay on Martha Wash
ington." Genevieve Norris gave
piano solo and the debate followed.
Resolved, That George Washing
ton was the greatest of American
presidents" Affirmative, Edwin
Folk, Ouida Pattison. Negative,
William Gaines, Margaret May.
The judges decided in favor of the
negative. This concluded the pro-
gram and the society adjourned.
We intend to have a number of
public meetings before the end of
the term and sincerely hope that
next time the weather will permit
visitors to be present.
We were delighted to have Mr..
Upshaw visit the school Friday
morning. He made very humor-
Gus, and valuable talk and we trust
that he will not forget US when he
makes his next visit to Edgefeld.
We were glad also to have Mr..
Bailey present Thursday morning,
who gave splendid talk on George
Washington. The first grade rem
dered a most entertaining and pa.
triotic little exercise on that same
morning, making our chapel exer-
cises unusually cheerful.
The county teachers meeting met
Saturday morning in the high school
auditorium. This meeting was the
most enjoyable and instructive OF
all previous meetings and the teach
ers desire to make the future ones
equally as pleasant. 1t was decided
that we should celebrate Fields
Day on the 18th of April with ath'
letic and oratorical contests. ~

Intelligent Economy Needed.

"Lack of intelligent economy one

keynote. If people would economic
intelligently, there would be very lit
tie heard about the high cost of living.
One who has money but is lacking in
intelligence is in about as unfortunate
plight as one who has intelligence but
no money. 1t is true that money

would like to see this year in Edge
field county is that every citizen tc
practice rigid but intelligent economy.

consumers, we should not be dependent
