WORLD SHORTAGE
IN BEET SUGAR
Crops Are 40 Per Cent. Less
Than Pre-War Average-Cen-
trail Powers Hit Hardest.
CANE SUGAR IS ISOLATED.
Allied Beet Production Falls One-third
In Rigid War Economy
Practiced.

The world today is producing forty
per cent. less beet sugar than the pre-
war average.
Counting the American, Allied ard
German-Austrian crops, as we'll as the
neutrals, the U. S. Food Administra-
ton has estimated that the world
shortage created by the light crop OF
19f7-1918 is at least three and half
million tons.
That the l917-191S crop Of cane sug-
ar was two million tons in excess OF
the previous year does not relieve the
general shortage.
Cuba and Java produce one-half OF
the world cane crop, and the Java sug-
ar is too far removed from America to
transport when shipping is badly need
ed to transport and maintain the mill
tary forces in France.
In Java a large part of the old sugar
crop is still awaiting shipment. Since
if requires $50 to 100 days for each
boat that is sent TO Java. the possibili-
ties of obtaining adequate shipments
of Java sugar this season are remote.
Allies Production Falls.
Taking the Allied nations as group,
official reports show that beet sugar
production is less by one-third than the
prewar average.
French beet sugar industry has suf-
fered most by the war. The French
Weld of beet sugar is now only 29.1
DER cent. of the pre-war average.
For the five years preceding the out
break of hostilities in Europe, France
produced an average of 752, ,542 tons Of
sugar each year. For 1917-1s the
French production was 2l9,4l6 tons.
With 81 factories operating, as COM
pared with more than 200 that were
in existence before the war and before
the general campaign Of destructive
ness launched by the German armies,
France nevertheless managed to manu-
facture more beet sugar in 1918
than in 1867, when the total output
was 202,415 tons.
italy in !917-1S produced 100800
tons of beet sugar, which was $1,000
tons less than the previous year and
11O25O less than the annual output Of
sugar for the five year pre-war pc
riod. .~ssssr:sss, ss..ss - s. ~ i'S-'.'. =
One of the great difficulties expert
enced in Italy's beet sugar industry
was finding sufficient labor to handle
the crop. Thousands of men usually
employed in beet sugar production
were called for military service. The
WELD per acre amounted to approx
mately half of the usual quantity Of
beets harvested.

LETTER FROM OUR BOY.

We have been printing letters from
the soldier boys over there, and we
believe the people like to ,4ad them
We know that we are interested suf-
ficiently to enjoy the reading of any
letter from any of the boys, and es-
.ocially from those whom we know
Of course they are not permitted to
write anything about what they are
doing, but even what they write is in
teresting We have been receiving
regularly field cards, they are called.
from our boy, and they give one great
satisfaction to know that he is well
and getting on fine. In fact, all the
letters have the same spirit of good
cheer and hopefulness, and that means
much for the success of our arms.
Our boy requests that we do not
print his letter in full, but after read
ing it we do not see where there is
any objection to the printing any part
Of it, and feeling that he has some
friends who would be interested ln
reading a letter from him we are
printing it just as he wrote it, with
I've exception of some purely person
al reference
We feel like he. does, that if we
we're in his place that we would rather
remain with our company as first
se~gcat. or even as a private, than be
s~st. leutenant in some other COM
pany, especially when we bad been
wi+h TIE boys for two years and all Of
them were fond of Us, but his spirit
is fire. that if duty calls him else
v-here he goes.
We had a letter from Captain Van
6:var ccn?e time aeo telling US that
he hod resigned his commission as
captain and was on his way to join
his old company as private, and for
rs 70 tell Humbert he was coming.
We know he will be disappointed when
he does not find Humbert with the
company, but we hope he may find
him somewhere and that they Will
meet.

III the BOYS feel that theirs is the best
company over there. That is the

they are correct, but they must know

demonstrating in ten meetings yes
terday and today that this, the bigges-
voting county of the State, is solidly
for him and the Reform ticket, and

by at least 1900 votes.
Under all the circumstances many

hitting back at those who have sue
ceeded in wringing out of the presi-
dent at the last minute the evidently
reluctant and tame letter addressed TO
Mr.. Daniel, correspondent of local
paper.
Probably the old fre-eating Blease
would have come back strong" more,
perhaps, to the delight of any of his
friends. but nevertheless of doubtful
propriety. But they were either sur
prised or disappointed. Blease kept
tie even tenor of his way, and quoted
to one of his friends something to the
e:re1t that che that keepath his temper
IS greater than one who ruleth over
. nation" not an exact quotation, but
puite an appropriate paraphrase o.
Scripture. ,bleaSe said that he was
keeping his temper, and was leaving
to the president his proper function OF
ruling the nation.
Moreover, Blease said in private and
public that undoubtedly the president
had heard nothing but bad about him
either fabrications out of the whole
cloth or distortions or partial quota
tions squeezed out of the endless
speeches he has made. However, nc
n7i.c cure diffe~ert mnress'ons will
be formed on both sides when he goe!
to Washington.
At each of his meetings he reiterated
what he first said at Wagner:
"Whatever l may have said, or what
ever I may have done, the people OF
South Carolina know that 1 have
never made them a promise that
have not fulfilled. l have never said
that would do thing that did not
20 it: have never said that I would
not do a thing and then go on and
do it. That everybody knows.
"And I want to say this: That

So "a ell him that here is an Amer
i ar tor, and, whatever is neces-
sa, lin this war, I am with hin!

IF i be necessary in order to win
the war, to break the precedent SET
by President Washington, in reference
to third term, shall tell President
Wilson that l will support him for a
third term and make speeches for him

Washington, D. C., Aug. 15.-The

The Presidents Letter.
ssMy Dear Mr.. Daniel: Replying to
your letter of August 18th, let me say
that I have perfect confidence that
the people of South Carolina will
Judge rightly in the senatorial con-
test and I have not the least fear that

already written and it is a little late
to expunge it.

"Mv Dear Mr.. President: I have

aware of the savage attacks made DE

other things he declared that the blood

followers that he is in favor of a third
term for you, that he will loyalty sup
port YOU if he is elected and is making
other similar statements that are at
absolute variance with his whole ca
