MIR. H. 3. Mcdaniel OF Smyrna, who
was in Yorkville yesterday In attend
ance on the meeting Of the Assistant
Legal Advisory board, Of Local Board
No. =, said that the outlook Is that the
people of his section are going to SOW
all the grain they can. People VINO
sowcd wheat last year and followed 1t
with peas, are arranging to again SOW
wheat as soon as they can get the
ground in fix.
Just as a matter OF information to
those who may be interested, we Will
state that the price OF typewriters
nave gone "uut OF sight" New, stand
Ird machines that formerly sold for
500 now bring $ll0. and rebuilt ma
chimes that sold all the way from $50
% $50. now range in price from $50 to
$50, and difficult to obtain even at
the higher figures. The government
mas taken over many OF the typewriter
factories, and much OF the skilled la
nor that has heretofore been used in
the manufacture OF typcwritcrs is now
Icing used in the manufacture of vari-
GUS kinds OF war munitions.
So far as The Enquirer Is able to
gather, there is nothing new in the sit
uation as to the price 9fkcotton GIN
ming. Mr.. Stevenson Is right in the
proposition that ginner may gin for
less than $3.50 If he so desires. There
is no law to prevent Mr.. Elliott, the
state food administrator, however, has
not withdrawn his minimum price
of $3.50 for ginning and Sl.a0 for
bagging and ties. AS we under
stand it, as matter Of fact the
ginner can charge less; but we do not
understand that he will receive the
sanction Of the food administration in
doing so. He cannot, as we under
stand it, be prosecuted; but Us the
whole matter stands we would not ad-
wise anybody to deviate from the
prices that have been fixed.

We agree that the jury that found
Rev. Mr.. Hickson guilty could not
have done anything else than find him
guilty. II the writer had been on that
Jury he would have felt bound to
agree to that verdict. But still we are
unable to believe that Mr.. Hickson has
been or intended to be disloyal. we
believe he loves his country as much
as any man, and we believe also that
he wants his country TO win over the
Germans 1t is very easy TO under
stand how a man Of Mr.. Hickson
temperament would say the things ne
said the way he said them, and still II
is difficult for those who know the old
gentleman to believe that he could be
actually disloyal either TO his country
or his God. Mr.. Hickson Is a mead
strong man who expresses himseil
forcibly, unhappily with too much
force sometimes. and that has gotten
him into trouble. II Judge Woods mad
believed that Mr.. Hickson really
meant what he said in the sense that
is suggested by the unfortunate words
that were used, he would have. no
doubt, given the old man the full ilm-
il. But, after all, there is a lesson in
this trial and conviction. and this les
son is that people will do we'll to bri-
die their tongues. II is the business Oh

going To fix the price OF cotton we
suggest that 1t will bc about the right

Just give raw cotton Il price that will
bear the same relation to cotton goods
that it bore when raw cotton was SELL

II a drafted man is entitled to eX-
cmption under the law he should claim
the same. This is not matter OF
opinion: hut is matter Of fact. For
one to refuse to claim exemption
should he he entitled to it is as repre-
hcnsible as giving false answer to
any question in the QUESTIONABLE. The
principal difference is that there Is a
way to detect other false answers. but
there is no way to detect this. 1t Is
very well understood that many men
who are entitled TO claim exemption
DO not do il. either because Of intense
patriotism or n fear of public opinion.
But neither of these considerations
should bear deciding influence In the
matter. The government has good
reasons for all the exemptions 1t has
provided for and it wants all men who
are entitled TO those exemptions to
claim them. Ii man thinks Re Is en-
titled to exemption. let him say so.
