THE PRICE OF SUGAR.
Food Administration Has Fixed the
Maximum Price at Ten Cents q
Pound.

State Food Administrator William
Elliott has advised County Food Ad-
ministrators that the maximum price
dealers are hereafter permitted to
charge for sugar is ten cents per
pound. and any dealer charging more
than ten cents will be punished un-
der the food law, If reported to the
Food Administrator. The wholesale
price of sugar has declined recently
and the Food Administrator advises
that sugar can be and should be sold
at less than ten cents a pound, as the
retailer will then make fair profit.
Ten cents Is fixed as a maximum,
which no dealer will be permitted to
exceed, but as matter of fact su-
gar should be sold for less.

The director Of War Savings for
South Carolina has asked the county
chairmen to appoint local commit
tees to help them in their work. The
director points out that organizing
county and keeping the sale of stamps
moving through twelve months is
such large work that no one man
could possibly do 1t, and that only
painstaking and time giving efforts
by loyal citizens will bring about the
result sought by the government,
which is the raising Of two billions OF
dollars through this agency. To
bring about that result there must be
sold an average of $4,000 worth of
stamps per capita. AS it is very evi-
dent that many people cannot buy this
amount of stamps, those who are able
will have to buy more, to help keep
up the average.
In accordance with the request of
Director Rhett the following have
been appointed
a. S. Hardy. vice chairman for
rural organizations.
s. l.. Roddey. vice chairman fol
commercial interests.
E. II. Rhame. Sr, vice chairman
for manufactures.
Mrs. c. L. Stubbs, vice chairman

with the county chairman form the

~ organized that others will be add
