The Country Interested.

The most promising feature OF the
present Liberty loan campaign is the
interest the people Of the country are
taking in the matter. The county
organization, well planned and well
followed up, is going to produce re-
suits where results have not been
shown in former campaigns. perhaps.
This is made evident by the response
in Reidville last night. The rally
held at that place resulted in a sub
scription OF $4,000 as n prelimin-
airy. The real canvass OF the town
snip VIII not begin until today.
About 30 persons subscribed last
night and the total reached $4,000.
We may expect Reidville township to
go over the top in a hurry, if that
pace is maintained and there are
assurances that it will be.

THE RECORDS PRESUMPTION.

The News being suffragiSt, sui
generis, is not over-enthusiastic over
the proposition; that is, feeling that
other things should occupy our time
and attention, but being inclined to-
ward, the granting of suffrage to wo-
men, would not like to be in Senator
Benet's position. News.
II The News is inclined toward
granting suffrage to women wo do
not see why it should dislike to be
in Senator Benet's position. because
if it were in his position it could cast
vote for suffrage. The matter is
up and is going to be voted upon
regardless Of whether there are other
tion now. Inasmuch as the vote is
to be taken. why not vote right?-
Columbia Record.
In the light of more recent events,
chiefly the announcement by Senator
Benet that he will oppose the grant
ing of suffrage to women, The News
very naturally assumes that the Re-
cord will tell Senator Benet that he
didn't vote right. Senator Benet's
reasons for his position were clearly
stated and show positively that he is
bound more by the wishes of his con-
sttuents than by his own personal
opinion. The junior senator feels
that he would be in ''class by him
SELF we're he to vote for the amend
ment, since the senior senator and
the late Senator Tillman. who is
succeeded by Mr.. Benet, and every
member of the house from South
Carolina are opposed to the meas
ure. The senator's position. there
fore, was embarrassing, as The News
stated, and would have been more so
had he been inclined toward granting
the right of suffrage 10 the women,
as The News is inclined. and while
the Record perhaps believed Sena-
tor Benet would support the meas
ure. it was mistaken.

4 GOOD SCORE.

Sunday was a very nice day for
tourists. True ii was bit dusty,
but nevertheless a fine day. There
were some cars seen upon the streets
in Lancaster, some perhaps not used
in necessary pursuits. but those who
watched closely the situation and
compared the use of cars on that dav
to that of the Sunday preceding saw
wonderful Improvement. Lancas-
ter has come to realize that the mat
ter of saving gasoline is a patriotic
question. involved in which is the
support or lack of support to the
government in the winning of the
war. With that realization. among
patriotic people. it is not surprising
that the cars We're left in the barn
1t is really surprising that any at all
were seen.
Lancaster made good score Sun
day. not a 1O0-per cent score. but a
much better one than mas been made
on any Of the days since the gasoline
conservation proposition has been be
fore the people. The News does not
look for any further embarrassing
situations arising out of the matter
but every man should realize that
when he uses his car on Sunday. un-
necessarily. ii is an injustice to his
government and TO his neighbor
who IoregOcs such use because OF h 5
loyalty and support OF the govern.
ment. Every man, wnen using his
car, unnecessarily. on Sunday, should
feel that the scorn OF every other man
he sees is upon him. for it is. and
whether or not anything is said. the
thoughts in the other mans mind are
that he is a Stacker.

grenades which the Germans hurl to-

full charge of buckshot on a Mills

many yards short of the object for

Cotton Crop and Price.


1t now seems certain. that this
years production of cotton will be
considerably less than 100000
bales-a, short crop at time when
the needs of the nation and the world
for the staple are at high-water
mark. Considering present demands
and prospective consumption, to-
gether with the certainty of a short
harvest, and all in addition to the
soaring cost of production, present
prices. are not any higher than should
be expected. If the government
should fix the price. Governor Hobby.
OF Texas, reports that the cotton in
terests of his State. think the price
fixed should be at least 35 cents.
That is conservative, and it is rather
surprising If the Texas farmers are
willing to have 35 cents fixed as t..
maximum. However. the farmers of
Texas can produce cotton at consid-
erably less expense than can the far
mers of many other Southern
States.
