Columbia, July 7.-As tribute to
the heroes of South Carolina who
made the supreme sacrifice in the
Great War, the people of the State
will erect handsome and a fitting
memorial in the shape of a building
to cost half million dollars.
This decision has been reached by
the South Carolina Memorial Com
mission, created by the action of the
last Legislature and appointed recent,
ly by Governor Cooper.
The design of the building has moi
yet been determined, but it will be
purely memorial and artistic in its
nature and general form, the utilita-
rian features to be kept inthe back
ground.
Of the S5OO,000 to be put in the
building, the legislature has appro-
priated 100000. The remaining
100000 will be raised by popular
subscription, in order, principally,
that every person in the State may
have the opportunity of contributing
directly toward the memoria !.
The executive committee of the
memorial commission, which will have
charge of the campaign soon to be
launched to raise the necessary fund,
is headed by former Governor Rich
ard I. Manning, who recently return
ed from France where he attended
the Peace Conference as a delegate
from the League to Enforce Peace.
The executive committee has been
given power to act and has begun to
lay plans for launching the cam
paigr.

21 MILLION POUNDS OF SUGAR
OWNED BY u. S. is SOLD.

Washington. July 8.-Sale of 21,A )
100000 pounds of surplus sugar now
held by the war department has been
authorized, it was announced today
at minimum price to be fixed by the
United States sugar equalization
board to cover the cost to the gov
ernment. The only condition of sale
will be that none of this stock may be
exported. Investigation having shown
that the principal shortage at present
is in states east of the Mississippi, eff
forts will be made to find purchasers
in that section.
The stocks comprise 14,000,00O
pounds in storage at New Orleans
and 100000 pounds at San Fran
cisco.
"The export market afforded high
er figure than the war department
will realize through this method of
marketing" the announcement said.
Golfers of ten cents per pound have
been made for the entire surplus of
exporters, but the secretary of war,
realizing that the shortage of sugar
existed in the United States during
the canning season desired that the
American public be given the benefit
of the surplus.

This theory, of course, we cannot dis
pute,
Because it's of interest to bird, man
and brute.
But if we take history on which we
rely,
There's a time to build up and a
time to destroy.
When all the great buildings are
crumbled to dust,
Factories and railroads are corrod-
ed with rust,
When gone are the trees through
which the wind signs,
And rivers and lakes and Oceans
are dry,
When all vegetation has ceased to
exist,
And the earth is all covered with
thick, icy mist,
The last thing to die whatever it is
Will find that the house fly is still
in the biz.
From a warm sheltered place in some
filth, we suppose.
Out he will come to buzz around
its nose.

Delicate Mechanism

Despite its scope Swift &
Company is a business of in
finite details, requiring infinite
attention.
Experienced men must know
livestock buying with a knowl-
edge of weight, price, the amount
and quality of meat the live
animals will yield.
Each manufacturing operation must
be done with expert skill and scientific
precision. A highly perishable product
must be handled with speed and care
to avoid loss.
Chemists, engineers, accountants,
and other specialists are required to
take care of our intricate problems.
Alert wisdom and judgment must
be used in getting stocks of goods into
the open channels of demand through
our four hundred branch houses.
Branch house organizations must
show activity and energy to sch at the
market in the face of acute competi-
ton from other large packers, and
hundreds of small ones.
Ali these requirements ofintelligence,
loyalty, devotion to the task, are met
in the personnel of Swift & Company.
Yet the profit is only a fraction of a cent
per pound with costs at minimum.
How can the workings of this deli
cate human mechanism be improved
upon2
Do you believe tsaat Government
direction would add to our efficiency
or improve the service rendered tho
producer and consumer?

seventy, a giant in stature, straight
as an ancient Greek discus thrower,
and glowing with health and well

between Baltimore and Washington

six years.
Today, after very brief reign. the
knights of the Monthly Ticket have
deposed their whilom ruler, William
Fl. Watson, who held the crown for
some time, by virtue Of his record
OF forty-three years as a commuter
between the two cities.
Several kinds in fact have been
crowned by the knights of the Bundle
Rack within the last few weeks. One

voluntarily stepped down as a new
