SUGAR SITUATION SERIOUS.
Home Gamers Can Stil Buy Up to
25 Pounds Per Month.

Columbia, June 2S.-'The sugar
situation is serious. This is explain
ed by the food administration as due
to the fact that Cuban deliveries have
been shorter than were expected and
to submarine losses. The shortage
Of sugar is bringing the war nearer
home to the people of South Caro-
lima. 1t presents 4 situation which
calls for the most rigid economy in
sugar. There is not a spoonful to
waste.
At the same time, the need for
canning and preserving fruits and
vegetables for next winters use is
just as great this year as it was last,
says the food administration. The
railroads, already over-burdened by
the necessities OF war, should not be
carrying next winters food that
could have been grown and preserved
at home Home preserved products
can more often than is now the case
take the place Of certain foods that
are shipped from other sections.
Housckeepers should not at this
time, however, seek to furnish can
ned fruits and vegetables to the gov
ernment, but they can take care Of
the local supply during the present
summer, thus relieving the demand
upon the commercial stock which
may be used by the government.
AS far as 1t is practical, house.
keepers are urged by the food admin
istration to preserve fruits and veg
| than rich preserves and jellies. a
| light syrup allows the flavor OF the
fruit to predominant and gives a
sauce that is both wholesome and
ening for certain fruits.
For canning and preserving fruits
and vegetables, housekeepers may.
upon signing certificates in hands Of
sugar which will be necessary for
food preservation-up to 25 pounds
per month-to be used for this pur-.
pose only. Sugar so obtained and
not used for canning and preserving
must be returned to the dealer
FrcsA fruits and vegetables should
form as large part of the diet as
possible during the summer, both
for the sake of health and to release
other foods otherwise needed, says
the food administration.

FOOD CROPS AND COTTON.
Stnte Cotton Growers Association
Agrees to Plant Acre and Acre.

At the meeting of the State Cotton
Growers Association, held in Colum-
bia last week the following rcsolI-
ton, introduced by DR.. Stackhouse,
of Dillon, was adopted:
"Be it resolved. That the South
Carolina Cotton Growers Association,
meeting in Columbia, and having
representatives present from the va
rious counties of the state, hereby
requests our delegation representing
us in the New Oclears meeting OH
July st to support the following res
olution:
""That we request tie President
of the United States, II rough the
Food Administration, as wartime
necessity, to require that at least one
acre food crop be planted in 1919 TOR
each acre planted in cotton and that
the grain crop be fertilized pro rata
with corresponding cotton acreage
and cultivated with the same skill
We request that the President.
through the Food Administration,
will appoint commission to deter
mine a fair value for cotton and a
reaonable profit AS patriotic citi-
zens we only ask a fair profit on this
and the 1919 crop and agree to abide
by any price-fixing program which
seems just to this board. We re-
quest that a copy of this resolution
be sent to each Commissioner of Ag-
riculture in the cotton growing
States and also a copy to each repre-
sentative in the House and Senate
! from South Carolina.'"
! DR.. Stackhouse introduced a fur
ther resolution, which was adopted,
that the South Carolina Representa-
tives In Congress be requested to use
their influence to have the cotton eX-
changes of the country investigated
and to require the cotton exchanges
to give contracts providing for the
! delivery Of cotton bought in the
South at Southern points.
A resolution urging farmers to
hold cotton for 35 cents and not to
sell for less than 80 cents per pound
was passed unanimously. The reso-
luton was introduced by E.W. Dabbs,
of Mayesville, former president Of
the State Farmers Union.
That 1t is the sense Of the South
Carolina Cotton Growers Association
that farmer ought not to sell his
cotton before it is produced was the
subject of resolution introduced by
Mr.. Frost.
Senator Smith, Congressman Lever
and Mr.. Stevenson were requested as
a part Of the South Carolina delega-
tion to attend the joint meeting Of
cotton growers and bankers which is
to be held in New Orleans on July I.
The chairman of the meeting was
empowered TO appoint the other
members of the delegation.

CAROLIEIANS IN IOWA.
Young Ladies of OCOnce Visiting Mr..
and Mrs. w. Is. Lowell.

Clinton, Iowa, June 23.-Editor
Keowee Courier: AS have seen
more OF Iowa, have decided to write
to you again. Miss Hattie Pell and
Miss Ruth Gaillard are visiting us
this summer. Mr.. Lowell has q num-
ber OF relatives and friends in and
around Maquoketa, Iowa, and we re-
ceived an invitation to come up and
bring our guests, so we left in our
auto for a weeks outing. and to our
surprise when we arrived we found
that they had planned picnic in our
honor at Morehead Caves. The
Caves are located eight miles above
Maquoketa. We passed through
country as fertile and beautiful as
any in the great Mississippi Valley.
The road follows along the top Of
high ridge the entire distance, and 1t
is a most charming drive, with beau
tiful woods, hills and fertile valleys
constantly in view. We arrived at
the caves and stopped our car on a
accommodate a hundred autos. We
went down a narrow, steep, winding
path-down, down deep cavern,
and long before we reached the bot
tom we stopped to look at the beau
tiful scenery far above our heals
We were standing before a grandeur
majestic and sublime beyond the
power of words or pen. Going on to
the bottom we noticed that we were
in a semi-circular cavern, very cool
and quiet. Later we came to q ma
tural bridge, entirely of stone, and
as staunch and rugged as though
built OF solid masonry. The giant
arch is at least 80 feet across, about
q feet high and from 40 to so feet
in width. A team Of horses or an
auto might safely be driven over
this bridge. The sides are heavily
covered with beautiful ferns, honey
suckle and hanging vines, making q
sembling a giant hanging basket.
Just few feet from the road, on
the left, we entered the timber land.
We had to proceed slowly, and as we
looked down we were astonished to
see right at our feet a tremendous
cave, or hole, which seemed to drop
straight down. After advancing q
few hundred feet we were able to
look down into the darkness below.
Carefully picking our way we con-
tinued 10 descend, and after a short
time we found ourselves on the floor
at the bottom Of the cave, great
rock walled cup, which at the top is
nearly 100 feet in diameter. and at
the place where we stood possibly
GO feet in diameter. Looking up
perhaps 200 feet, we could see the
ledge at the top where we started
our descent. The walls OF rock are
thickly covered with rich green moss
ferns and hanging vines. 1t was all
perfectly wonderful. There is much
more could write, but am afraid
have written too much now.
Yours truly.
Mrs. w. b. Lowell

To Have New Cotton Statistician.

CFarm and Factory, June 27.)
NJ Stokes Stribling has received q
letter from Washington in which he
is told that his services as county sta
tisician for Oconee county are no
longer needed. Mr.. Stribling receiv-
ed this letter several weeks ago and
was naturally somewhat perplexed.
He recognized that it was the de-
partment's privileg. to dispense with
his services at any time, bu, he was
anxious to find out the reason for
the sudden action and addressed a
letter to the proper officials asking
the reason for his dismissal. Recent
ly he got an answer in which the in
formation was contained that so far
as the department knew his services
were perfetcly satisfactory. Con-
gressman Dominick, Mr.. Stribling
was told, objected to his holding the
place longer, and as the department
had little to say under such circum-
stances, it was necessary to remove
him from Office
Mr.. Stribling was appointed to
the place through the kindness of
former Congressman Aiken. The ap-
pointment was confirmed short
time before Mr.. Aiken left office. Hi;
successor has not been named.

D. c. MONEY BILL
WILL Be JAMMED
THROUGH CONGRESS

Disposition In Congress will be to
make short work OF odds and ends OF
appropriation legislation when II set
ties down to business after the recess.
according TO leaders.
The conference report on the Dis
trict appropriation bill Is one meas
ure still to be disposed of. It IL hang
ing IRE because of disagreement over
two small items and the half-and-half
taxation question.
In view OF the fact that Congress
has its mind on such vital measures
as the revenue bill, extension of the
draft ages. prohibition, and expansion
OF the fighting forces, II is predicted
that little time will be spent when
the recess is over with the District
bill Another conference probably
will be arranged before August ends
and the bill put through This would
make it unnecessary to pass con-
tinuing resolution extending the old

The view in the Senate still is that
the House eventually will give way
on the half-and-hAlf proposition and

SOLDIERS THANK
TIMES FUND FOR
TOBACCO GIFTS

Cards OF acknowledgment continue
to reach The Times from soldiers in
France expressing gratitude for to-
bacco sent by The Times Tobacco
Fund.
Cards received today from Corporal
L. whiteley, of Spokane, Wash; Pri-
vate George Beachler and Private Ger
aid A Rehtz, read as follows:
Co. II, 161st Infantry,
Am. EX. Force.
Dear SIrs:-I take this opportunity
to thank you for the gift of tobacco
which was contributed by your COM
pany to a soldier in France. This
particular gift was given me one
night while passing through a "for-
gotten city" miles away from civiliIa-
tion in the northern part OF France
when none could be obtained else
where. To say 1 was pleased would
be putting in mildly. These little
gifts certainly do cheer the boys up.
especially as in the above case when
smoking tobacco is scarce.
The writer is a volunteer from the
State OF Washington, a little city com
monty called Spokane. l have been in
the service over two years, eight
months OF II spent in France. I have
done everything from building R. RS
to doing NJ. P. In one of the larger
cities: have been to the trenches sew
eral times as convoy, but have done
no active lighting as yet. Our bunch
is expecting to leave for the fighting
line in a short time.
Thanking you again for your
thoughtfulness, 1 am sincerely,
CORP. L. WHITLEY,
Co. H, 161st Inf. A e. F.
Dear Sir:-I am very glad to secure
a spare moment to offer you thanks
for your tobacco kit. II sure makes
a soldier in the best spirits for hght-
ing. Yours truly,
PRIVATE GEORGE BEACHLER. |
Co. A, 116th Engineers, A E. F.

OF tobacco thankfully received.
