hoy in Columbia. will create a pro-
louni impression throughout the
state, and very fortunately so. too.
The case of those drunken negroes
alone would not have amounted to a
great deal for the reason that senti-
mcnt condemned the negroes on gen.

terence TO the really important point
involved. But DR.. Hanahan and Mr..
Hardin were prominent. popular and
powerful. and their conviction under
the circumstances means. If II means
an! thing, that the people of South
CaI olina are beginning to appreciate
The necessity OF enforcing rule OF

Discussing the question of fixing the
price OF cotton. w. W. Morrison OF
New Orleans. gives some figures that
throw some interesting and important
light on the subject. Going back to
the Year 1913, the year next preceding
the first year of the var. Mr.. Morrison
finds that the average price OF cottoI
was l3a cents. and AT 80 cents a pount
AT the time the article was writer
the advance was l25 per cent. During
the same time other standard com.
moditics have advanced as follows
Bacon ribs. l75 per cent: leaf lard, 15(
per cent; corn meal, 40 per cent: flour
l:5 per cent: oats. l55 per cent; corn

BONDS AND STAMPS

While Senator McLaurin was In
Yorkville yesterday. a representative
of The Enquirer asked him for an ex-
preston of opinion as to thrift stamps
and Liberty bonds.
THE thrift stamp" he said, "is the
most attractive form Of investment l
have ever known for the man Of small
means, who lives mainly by his weekly
savings. The object of 1t does not
seem so much to increase government
loans as to teach saving. The desig-
nation thrift stamps is most appro-
pirate and exactly descriptive.
Suppose" continued the senator,
that you had a Ave dollar bill in
your pocket or more correctly speak,
ing, $4.12. and Mr.. Wilkins here would
tell you that so long as you refrained
from spending that $4.12 he would pay
you Il cent a month; but still he
would leave you free to spend 1t
whenever you like by giving him ten
days notice. with the understanding
that he would pay you cent for each
month you refrained from spending
the money. That Is exactly what the
thrift stamp Is. and 1t Is the most lib
eral proposition Of the kind that has
ever been known in American his
tory"
What have you got 20 say about the
fact that Liberty bonds are selling un-
der par serator?" was the next ques-
tion.
WELL" the senator replied. these
bonds are being sold at 81; but that
does not mean that they are not worth
100. / few weeks ago. there was
concerted effort on the part of the
spectators to depress the price Of all
securities so that they could buy them
cheap. These bonds shared in this
general depression. Another thing is
that merchants all over the country
have been accepting the bonds as
cash in trade and then selling the
bonds at discount in order to get cash
to meet their bills. No one ought to
sell a United States government bond
for less than par. They have behind
them all the property In the United
States and when the war 10 over will
sell at a premium, so what Is the use
Of allowing shrewd men to get them
for less than they are worthT

IL Is observable from declarations

many people who seem to think that

ignorance more than anything else.

United States. and people will do well

to repose confidence in and stand by
those TO whom We are looking to lead
US out Of trouble. and in any kind OF
a time II Is a very good rule for peo-
pie TO keep their mouths shut until
they know what they are talking
about.
II after reasoning that from the
fact that this fuel order was issued
with the approval Of the president, tho
situation must be more serious than
we realized" the governor had gone nc
further. he would have been on safe
and sensible ground: but unfortunate.
| ly he did not stop there.
/ We made no comment on that fuel
order last Friday for the simple rea :
son that we considered that the order
spoke for itself. As we saw II. the
order indicated one of two things.
either that the administration was
silly TO the point OF idiocy or that II
was wise and courageous beyond
question. and as there was infinitely
vi SOuI
in the order than there was of any.
thing else, we did not consider il
worth while to undertake to chime In
with any kind OF criticism.
OF course man like Mr.. Manning
will not see why industries. burning
coal, should not be permitted to use II:
hut the fuel administration saw that
and everything else in connection with
the matter. Among other things II
saw was that if a man, having a ton
OF coal. WAS not permitted to burn il
today. he would not be clamoring for
another ton tomorrow. II saw also tha.
if Il man. having wood, was made to
conserve il today. he would not be in
compctition for some other fellows
wood tomorrow. II saw, too, that
with two men supplied with wood II
ought to be easier for somebody else
TO get coal. These are some of the
things the administration saw, and
We suspect that among the many 9TH
~ things II saw was that the issuance
OF this order would play its part in
bringing many people who do not yet
seem to have understood, to a realiza-
ton of the fact that the country Is at
war.

German Wow Of American Army.-
Commenting upon the statement made
by Secretary Of War Baker before a
congressional committee regarding
preparations. the SEMI official Nord
Deutsche Allegemeine Zeitung Of Ber-
lin. says:
THE American secretary of war
speaks OF an American army In France.
There Is an American army In France
but II consists entirely OF wood cut
ters. railway men and doctors, except
two or three divisions whose precious
lives are being spared in uuiet places
far behind the front.
Mr.. Baker speaks as II shortly
there would be 100000 Americans in
France. Can the United States spare
such large number of men? The
answer is no, because a large part OF
the army must remain behind for the
protection OF the frontiers, the coasts
colonies and for other duties of politi-
cal nature. The political situation
compels the United States to keep al
nome the greater portion Of its army
and the country can at the most put
only 100000 or 100000 men in the
European battlefields. For the trans-
fer OF even this number. 2,500,000 tons
OF shipping will be required, necessi-
tating $50 journeys Of steamers of 4
900 to 5000 tons. Thus an army OF
even this small size cannot possibly be
made available before the summer OF
1918. "
I'm the decision on the Western
front this spring American parttcipa-
tfon can affect no change. The whole
speech Of the American secretarv m
war is American blum"

HERE AND THERE

The open season for bird shooting
closes on February lst. and there are
several local sportsmen who are
making use Of the last days Of the
open season to enjoy the sport Of
shooting the birds.
Wherever men gathered on Sum-
day. the one theme Of conversation
was the Garfield fuel order. and many
and diverse were the opinions ex-
pressed thereon. Some expressed
themselves as siding with Mr.. Gar
field and were sure that the fuel ad-
ministrator had done just exactly the
right thing and done 1t in just the
right way. Others were positive that
the fuel administrator had made a
mess of things and as result the
country was going to the fdemnition
bow-wows, and that pretty quick. but
with all the talk there were none who
had the temerity to suggest that they
were going to defy the order and
conduct their affairs as usual.

Either Fuel Administrator Garfield Is
a fool OF his drastic fuel order is a very
necessary war measure. We do not
think Mr.. Garfield Is Il fool, and there
fore his order is wise. But Is 1t the
best way out? The Charleston Ameri-
plausibly and forcibly. This terribly
confused situation has come about
through the fact that all the railroads
leading into the various northern ports
are congcstcd for miles and in some
cases for hundreds Of miles with coal
and other supplies that cannot be
moved on account of the wintry
weather. The piers and harbors are
filled with loaded ships that cannot
20 to sea for lack of bunker coal and
because OF ice. Charleston Is closer to
the coal mines than any other Atlant-
ic port. She has dumping facilities
which. ii not adequate for all the coal
and supplies TO be shipped, are at
least capable OF being used to twenty
times the extent to which they are
now being used. The railroad lines
from the coal fields 10 Charleston are
actually idle as compared with the lines
leading to the frozen northern ports.
i''ormcrly when the roads were under
The complete control of their owners
under conditions where one road
would allow any kind of freight go to
waste. disuse or destruction rather
than give II to another road. Now
the government is supposed to be using
each and every road to the best ad-
vantage. regardless OF the desires Of
other roads, rival points OF anything Of
that kind. Why don't they start this
traffic toward Charleston at least to
an extent that will threaten congestion
similar TO that prevailing in northern
Lorts? About the only explanation
we can give Is that the former opera
tors of the railroads are looking for
ward to the time when there will be
d return to the old status, and they
fear that il business Is diverted In the
there will be difficulty in
re- establishing the old monopoly.

the question Of allowing print paper

now this holding has been reversed.
In his drastic fuel saving order. Adj
ministrator Garfield took good care 10
provide that newspapers should be al
lowed 10 use such heat as was ncces
Sary in their production. And how the
administrator arrived at this conclu-
sion is not difficult 10 comprehend, for
