On the Trail of Information
Still there remains the excessive
profit. The News-Budget stated some
weeks ago, and it was vehemently de-
MED, and the source of the infOrma-
ton asked by the lighting company,
that there was a profit of ten per cent
on $4,000 in the operation of the
plant. The News-B Budget was incor-
rect. 1t took the figures of the re-
port after a dividend had been paid
1t should have been 10 per cent on $685.
actual investment
The NewsBudget reporter was in
Madison last week and at the office of
the State Railroad Commission Sc
cured the report of the Ladysmith
Lighting Company. 1t is remarkable
for some of the information it does
not give. 1t required persistent effort
on the part of the commission to get
any report from Ladysmith Lighting
Company. But it came at last The
figures have never been printed and
therefore at this time are interesting.
An examination of the reports made
in the past are also of interest but as
they have gone into history and have
no bearing on the subject in hand are
not given space here.
Facts Not Available
Here are some of the things not OBJ
tainable:
Amount paid out for improvements
to the present time by the Ladysmith
Lighting Company.
Increase in the business of the COM
pany since Myers interests took the
plant
Increased profits of the company
since July 1, 1917 as result of new
business. Based on the operating eX-
penses shown in the last report, and
with the economies claimed to have
been inaugurated there must have
been increased revenues and therefore
no less a profit than that shown by
AS to What Can be Done
Here are some of the things learned
That as soon as the city votes on
the question of municipal ownership
and the vote shows that the city wants
to buy, then and not until then will
the commission make an appraisal
AppraiSalS are not made on the |
present cost of reproduction but on the |
basis of an average of the costs of the |
last five years. This is especially
noticeable as an item when it comes to |
copper wire which at the present time |
is worth many times as much as five |
years ago. But the five year average |
cuts the cost down and the appraise-
ment accordingly to something like a
normal figure.
That while the rate for lighting at |
is not excessive when
based on a steam plant or plant |
where the power is bought at higher
rate, or when the current itself is
purchased from a power company at
a normal rate. yet in view of the low
rate paid here for hydraulic power.
the rate to consumers is not in keep
ing with cost to produce and can well
be lowered.
That as the matter of the Big Falls
power has not finally been deter
mined there will not be any severance

THRIFT AND ECONOMY

Only one thing is now of real i'm
9o;tance, and that is winning the war.
The nations resources in man
power, money, transportation, food
stuffs, raw materials and fuel have
already been subjected to heavy
strains, and it is clear duty of every
citizen to guard against increasing
his strain by a single wasteful act.
1t is most credit3ble for everyone
man and woman, boy and .yirl--to
economical in dress, food, and
Mariner of living. Every evidence of
self-denial on the part of all in a
ine like this is most commendable.
his war is more than conflict be-
tween two armies. 1t is n contest in
which every man, woman and child
can and should render real assistance.
hrift and economy are not only
patriotic privilege. They constitute
q national duty.

ANDERSON LEADS

A sensational achievement is re-
corded in Anderson County in the
War Savings pledge campaign which
is now being waged. On the open
ing day the Anderson County War
Savings Committee, of which j. d.
Hammett is chairman, reported
pledges amounting to $149,000, which
represented the pledges of Ander-
sons Limit Club of 149 men and wo-
men who have pledged to invest dur
ing the year in $1,000 worth of War
Savings Stamps.
1t is significant that in practically
all counties men and women who are
able to are joining the Limit Clubs,
many straining their resources in or
der to become members. According
to law, no individual can legally pos
sess over 200 War Savings Stamps,
the face value of which are $1,000.
This means an investment of about
SS34.OO. From all reports received,
Anderson appears to be leading the
state at present in the number of
members of the Limit Club, but other
counties are strenously working on
this plan.

sity Of South Carolina, spoke here
ast Friday, he remarked, "Whon

streak that runs down his spine.
"The same man will tell YOU we

IS true" said Prof. Rucker. "A man

Germany did worse than spit in the
face of every American citizen. With
out justification she murdered Ame-

slap our wives faces; she murdered
wives and children of American citi-
Zens.

OUR OPINION CONFIRMED

In a recent issue of The Advertise
was an editorial in reference to Hon
William G.. McAdoo, in which it was
claimed that no Secretary of the
Treasury had ever had more arduous
tasks to deal with and that he had
proved himself the ablest of them all
in that he had met all of his weighty
problems with honor to himself anC
to the best interests of the country
1t is source Of satisfaction to this
paper to note that Senaor Mcclellan
of Tennessee, in his alumni addrcs.
at the University of Alabama, mad,
this reference to Secretary McAdoo:
'While talking about the part
the South is playing in this war,

ence to the present financial policy

Guishcd southcrner Heretofore, when

ENGLAND TO BE "BLIGHTY"
FOR AMERICAN SOLDIER

London, June 23.-"Blighty for
'ammies as well as Tommiep'
That's what England has started
out to make herself.
With the approval of King George,
the British war office and the Ameri
can ambassador, the English people,
led by the newspapers, have started a
movement to make England home for
American soldiers who are wounded
in battle.
The people have taken up the pro-
ject with will, and a comprehensive
md definite scheme for receiving the
Yankee wounded with open arms and
hearts is in process of development.
The English mother has suffered
since the war began and she knows
What the American mother is facing
she knows, too, that the American
mother will suffer more than she her
self, for her boy is perhaps 5000
miles away, instead Of just across the
channel
Unless he comes to her manned, in
aided, she will not see him until
he war is Overland if he dies. he
nay be buried for month before she
.nows
There could be no "leave" in Sam
my's own "Blighty," America itself.
So England has solved the problem of
"Blighty" for Sammy by making
herself one.
Tens of thousands of English
homes will be thrown open to the
Americans. The nation is following
the example set by King George, who
wrote a personal letter to every Anne
rlcan soldier who lands in England,
bidding him welcome.
AS one of the newspapers which is
leading the movement says:
- hat letter was symbol from the
king Of what his people, one and all
VIII do for Sammy. They will take
the American fighting man to their
hearts as His Majesty has done. 1t is
great event in the brotherhood O.
the two nations.
Let everyone of us so behave tc
Sammy that he can write to his own
people: Il am at home. England has
taken me home.'"

WHEN HER BACK ACHES
A Woman Finds All Her Energy and
Ambition Slipping Away.

Chesterfield women know how the
aches and pains that often come when
the kidneys fail make life burden.
Backache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy
spells, distressing urinary troubles,
are frequent indications of weak kid
neys and should be checked in time.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid
neys only. They attack kidney dis
eases by striking at the cause.
Can Chesterfield sufferers desire
stronger proof of merit that this

kidneys were out of order and had
constant pain across my back. I
was sore and lame mornings and was

me of every symptom Of kidney trou-
