ton has asked this nation to observe
voluntary sugar ration Of two
pounds per person a month.
In the other countries at war with
Germany sugar is one of the scarce
articles on every menu--whether In
the households of both rich and poor.
or in the hotels.
England today has sugar ration
Of two pounds per month per person.
In France the ration is pound and
half and in Italy 1t is one pound
month. And the prices in allied coun-
tries are from two to three times as
high as in America.
II you go to hotel in England or
France these days and order tea or
coffee they serve absolutely no sugar
with it. If you want sugar you must
bring it with you.
i In. England 1t is allowable to use
0ne-seventh Of an ounce Of sugar in
the preparation of each luncheon. In
France many persons carry little sac
charine tablets about with them for
use in hotels and in England rich and
poor must take their sugar with them
if they wish to have sweetened tea
while visiting friends.
Before the war started France had
625 coo acres DEVOTED TO sugar produc-
ton. BY 1917 the French sugar acre
age had decreased to 10000 acres
Today the French man or woman with Il
sugar card has no assurance whatever
that he or she will be able to actually
buy sugar. To buy it, one must first
find it.
Italy Has Estate Sugar"
Especially drastic regulations govern
the use of sugar in Italy. Its manu-
facture, distribution and sale are close
" controlled, and in part actually
taken over by the state.
Saccharine is permitted to be sod
and used as a substitute for sugar and
the government manufactures a mix
ture of saccbarine and sugar called
"State Sugar" which is largely used
German Sugar Ration Adequate.
Germany, before the war, produced
great surplus Of sugar and exported
large quantities. Today the Germans
have virtually gone. out of the export
business, but have plenty Of cheaT
sugar for home use.

thus the people might be brought
to a more profound realization OF
the real significance of the war and
that greater patriotic devotion
might be inspired.

Rowland Campbell, known to

Rowland Campbell, known to
many people of this vicinity, is, a
young man of boyish co%untenance
and youthful statue. Talking rapid
ly and without any attempt at elo-
cution he presented his experiences
one AFTER another and rarely rose
above the conversational.
Volunteered in French Army.
i The young man began by telling
how. he happened to. precede Ameri-
ca into the conflict. 1t was during
those years when war between this
country. and Germany hung in the
balance, he said, that he and two
companion students in the Univer-
sity of Chicago began to consider
how they could most quickly see ac-
tive service. The American ambu-
lance service, designed to bolster
up the inadequate French organi-
cation, offered them that opportun-
ity. So they sailed for France to
become ambulance drivers. However
when they arrived, a French officer
met them and persuaded them to
enter the French transportation and
supply service, which was repre-
sented as. being the more important
at the time. His duty was to drive
barb wire, trench mortars, or any
thing desired up to the front lines.
Tells. of Experiences.
Naturally, many experiences fell
to the lot of the young truck driver
AT the end of three weeks, he had
been offered the Croix de Cure for
unusual service and had refused it.
The reason given vas that French
soldiers, who had been in trenches
for three years, deserved it far
more.
In illustrating the American spirit
he stated that he was driving along
a road under such b~ombardment that
Jack johnson shells were falling at
the rate of twenty a minute, each
tearing up great holes in the ground
Despite this, however, twelve Ameri-
cans were seated at the side of the
road calmly eating sardines! 1t
was not his purpose to dwell on the
horrors of the war, yet he could not
help mentioning that all said about
the barbarity of the Germans was
true. He himself was in a hospital
when it was bombed by Hun aircraft
and that same hospital was the vic
tim of nine such attempts while he

Inasmuch as the meeting was ar
ranged by the Red Cross, Mr.. Camp
bell said he desired to state what he
knew from personal experience re-
garding the organization. While
over in Georgia, he said, a mar &C

if the Red Cross vas On the square.
This ignorance was pathetic. Alb
solutely no better use could be made
of money at the present time than
to invest it in the Red Cross. For

teens all along the front and this
is one of the greatest conveniences
enjoyed by the soldirs.
While in the midst of the lecture,
the room suddenly became dark. The
ten o'clock hour of prayer proclaim
ed by the mayor had arrived. In
the adjoining Opera House, music
ceased. And an audible breath of
prayer could be heard toward the
left.
Lantern Slides and Display of Relics
Mr.. Campbell brought many pic
ture slides with him and attempted
to portray actual war conditions on
the screen. Many of the pictures
he had taken himself. 1t is against
the law for soldiers to take such
pictures. But he and his two COM
| panions carried cameras neverthe-
less. If necessary, two of them would
entertain the stubborn French Of
icer, he said, while the third took
the picture.
After the slides had been shown,
many relics collected on the field of
battle were displayed. Among them
were gas masks, helmets, guns,
shells, and a German machine gun.
Considerable excitement was caused
by the exhibitor suddenly firing sew
eral blanks from a pistol. While
doing this several weeks ago before

McLXURIN 'RETIREs.

John L. McLaurin, after having
failed to 'raise hell" as he declared
was his purpose at the Greenwood
meeting, and having, as he says,
failed to interest the farmers of
South Carolina, whom he desired to
serve, in a movement to make the
cotton raised in the South a liquid
asset, has retired from the race for
governor of South Carolina, and
/, once more, and for a little while, is
q private citizen. -.
John L. McLaurin' is a man of
great ability. He has made the mis-
take of not knowing that as a politi-
cal factor he has been dead in
South Carolina these twenty years.
Nevertheless, his day of usefulness
in South Carolina was not over had
he desired to serve the pepole whom
he processes so much to love and to
desire to assist.
Mr.. McLaurin has evidently de-
ceived himself. There is no mar in
South Carolina who desires Office
more than he does. There is no
man in South Carolina who has
striven harder to come back. There
is no man in South Carolina of his
education and breeding he has done
as many things as he has done, who
has bowed to as many gods, and
swallowed as many 'isms" as he has
in the attempt to be a political fig
dre in the state. But his political
epitaph had already been written.
McLaurin is terribly mistaken in
the assertion that only through the
government can the farmers of
South Carolina, and of the South,
secure the things which they need
for financing the cotton crop. Moth
ing should be further from politics.
If the government has ever made
anybody rich, or provided a means
of getting rich, we have not heard
of it. The handling of the cotton
crop, the securing for it's recognition
as security for the advancement
of money, and other matters per-
tanning to the handling of the crops
of the South are matters of business
and not of politics. The people of
the South need not look to the poll
ticians to secure for them that as
sistance which they so much desire.
When they have confidence in the
business integrity of the business
men of this section of the country,
and handle their business affairs
through business methods which
have made for success in other
lines they may hope for the things
which they seek. But as long as a
few politicians, seeking Office, are
their spokesman they may expect to
remain hewers of wood and drawers
of water, to say nothing of being
members of a faithful organization
supposed every two years to come
to the assistance of a few faithful
demagogues who, since we came to
know things, have promised all and
given nothing.
If McLaurin desired to serve the
people, he fell from grace when he
sought office for himself instead of
adopting business methods for the
accomplishment of his purpose. He
should have sought relief in the
court of finance rather than in the
political forum.

To My Friends: l see no, good to
be accomplished by my remaining. in
the campaign and desire to release
you from such obligation you may
feel as to my support.
I am discouraged that my pur-
poses see so sadly misunderstood
and my motives so wilfully misrep-
resented.
What is the use when only IS
minutes areallowed to present great
issues?
I did not offer as a candidate be-
cause of any personal ambition. My
desire was to serve. Primarily, it
was my hope to unite a conserva-
tive element in both factions upon
a program for building a system Of
finance based upon cotton, which
would render our section forever
rich and independent.
I have given ten years of my life
and spent much of my means in
spreading the propaganda. Its fruits
are visible on every hand, but I de-
spair of ever making faction ridden
South Carolina a leader in a great.
movement of this kind and shall
make no further attempt so to do.
Let me state the proposition clear
ly: Section Is of the federal re-
serve act provides not only for the
discount of notes secured by receipt
for cotton on storage, but also for
discounting securities, where the
proceeds are to enter into the pro-
duction of the crop. This means
that a note secured by rent or a
crop mortgage can be discounted at
the federal reserve bank. 1t is done
now, but not for farmers, few of
them know these facts. All that we
need is the machinery and it can be
more easily provided than the pres
ent system, which I presented after
the failure of the Wade plan.
The warehouse is merely a funda-
mental incident in a system of f.
The real basis is the con-
version of all securities which rep
resent cotton either made or to be
made into fluid assets which will
pass current in the money markets.
When you do this the marketing
question will logically solve itself
and it can never be solved except
by the firm establishment of a sys-
tenn of credits, where the pound of
cotton is the unit, and as good in
one mans hands as %another's. 1t
will never be done by voluntary Or
carnations; it ca monty come thru
the government land to secure that
political control is necessary. =.
However, as the people are more
interested in other matters, l see no
reason for dragging myself around
the State in a vain effort to help
people who do not wish to be helped
Being a side show to a third class
country circus does not appeal to
me.
