Judge James A, Hixon is one Of
the most eminent members of the bar
practicing in Sumter county, and en-
joys perhaps the largest practice of
any lawyer in Americas. He is a.
man with faith in the future of his
section, his county, his town and his
country, and has evidenced this faith
by investing literally here. His,
handsome hime on Lee street is one
of the prettiest to be found in Amer
icus, while his big plantation several
miles east of town is a beauty, having
been brought to a high state of Gull
tivation under his direction. There
he produces annually large crops of
cotton, corn, potatoes, velvet beans
and hay, as well as a large herd of
live stock, having some of the finest
cattle in the state. His faith in the
future of the country was recently
emplifed when he subscribed for $1O,--
600 of Fourth Liberty Loan bonds.
which he will retain as a permanent
investment. Many years ago, Judge
Hixon, then young lawyer at the
bar here, married Miss Leila Watts,

port does not take up conditions or prac-
tices in the retail -four trade.
The commission reaches the conclusion
that 1000 mills In America producing an
average of ll6,000,0O0 barrels OF -four
annually, have the capacity TO double
their output. The Keen competition
which formerly existed in the milling in
dustry, says the report, has been re-
stricted somewhat by abnormal wartime
conditions, and various competitive prac.
tees have been discontinued voluntarily
or curtailed by federal regulations.
The average cost of production of a
barrel of -four said the commission, in.
creased during the crop year of 1917, due
chiefly TO wheat price advances, while
operating profits per barrel increased
nearly lbs per cent, while rate of profit
on investment went up more than 100
per cent.
Expenses of -four distributors and
middlemen," says the report, increased
somewhat in the first half of 1917 over
the preceding year. while their profits,
gross and net, showed very large in
crease. The average net profit per barrel
for several large car jobbers increased
more than l25 per cent, the average rate
of profit on investment nearly doubling.
The average net profit OF various small
lot jobbers and the average rate of profit
on their investment showed a similar in
crease.

jobbers' profits are free from the weak !
nesses inherent in the regulations for the |

1t is the opinion of the federal trade
that maximum prices on
lour might be established, which would
over the cost of wheat and all manu-
scturing. selling and general expenses,
md in addition would give the miller

This, with the larger reductions Sc.

The investigation showed that millers'
profits increased from II cents barrel
in lol2.l3 to sc cents barrel in the
first half of 1917. 1t points out, how
ever, that the present regulations of
millers' profits at fixed margin above
cost has the inherent weakness of not

of affording unpatriotic millers temp
