 CROP FURNISHING.
Uncle Sam Says the Scandalous Profiteering System of the
 South Must Stop.

Surely the blessings of God are following the work of the war. President Wilson has sign ed the great Prohibition bill which makes America dry June 1st. 1919 until the American are demoblized, and now comes the news from the II. s. Food Commissioner, thro State Com- missioner Hamp Williams, that the internal crop furnishing system of the South MUST GO This system has done more to hinder the real growth and development of the South than any other curse but thatof the rum demon since the civil war and I am printing these official utterance from the U. s. Food Commissioner with a great deal of happy satisfaction;
 Here it is
 'If you are conducting a big furnishing store and selling food on time from year to year, quit it now while you have a good excuse. The profit you are allowed to make under the rules of the United States Food Administration will not justify long terms. Furthermore, you are not justified in adding from 40 to 100 per cent profit for charge and delivery. If you must sell on time, charge a cash and carry price and add a legal rate of interest for the time you wait. If delivery is made, charge a reasonable price for that also.
 Landlords, Attention.
 ''If you are an owner of a big

law. The United States Food Administration would rather have jealous cooperation than sullen obedience"
 In condemning this miserable and injurious system which the U. s. Government nov. says MUST stop I do not wish to ce misunderstood as condemning all men and firms engaged in it but it is the system Pve al- ways hated. It is the system which takes otherwise good big hearted men and makes of them profiteers. It shrivels their souls and keeps them from serv- ing their community and fellow beings.
 So far as I know this con- munity suffers less from this unpatriotic sin than any other cotton growing community in all the South.
 In a nearby town there's a firm who furnished a white ten- ant who cleaned up enough money last Fall a year ago, to furnish himself. When the man went in to sign up for 1917 he was informed that he'd have to
