BUILDING ACTIVITIES
THE COUNTRY OVER
ARE INCREASING

Since the governors and mayors con-
ferrcd with federal officials in Wash
frgton on the industrial conditions of
The country. there appears to be a
more determined conviction in the
Building industry that present prices
Of material and labor are not going
down in the near future. This con-
Uction is reflected in The increase in
Building activities and construction
work. Incomplete data on March con-
ITS suggest the possibility of the
T., ~l o2@al being in excess of the to-
z. for February which was, in turn,
quite an increase over the contracts of
January.
WhIle state and municipal construc-
tIon works are playing an important
part in the acceleration of business
throu ghout the country, private and
corporation influences are responsible
for most of the present building ac-
fivities. Much road work, especially
m Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Iowa, ap-
pears to be held in allegiance in the
hope Of an early adjustment of freight
rates on road materials.
Among the building projects
brought to the attention of the division
Of public works and construction de-
yelopments of the U. S. department

The Q as j. &r,cn on 6unker Fill,
The waters sweet in RranIyw;rc;
The sword s!oaps in the ycabbard still
The f&,aae2 keeps his flock and vine;
Then who would mar the scene today
With vaunt of battlefield or fray?
The bravo corn lifts IN regiments
Ten thousand sabres in the sun;
The ricks replace the battle-tents.
The hammered tassels toss and run,
The noighing stced, the bugle's blast
These be but stories Of the past.
The earth has healed her wounded
breast,
The cannons' plough the field no
more;
The heroes rest! 0, let them rest
In peace along the peaceful shore.
They fought for peace, for peace they
fell;
They sleep in peace, and all is well.
The fields forget the battles fought,
The trenches wave in golden gram
Shall we neglect the lessons taught,
And tear the wounds agape again.
Sweet Mother Nature, nurse the land.
And heal her wounds with gentle hand.
Lo! peace on earth! Lo! flock and foldi
Lo! rich abundance, fat increase,
And valleys clad in sheen of gold!
o, rise and sing a song of peace!
For Theseus roams the land no more,
And Janus rests with rusted door.

PRICES ON SOUTH

Messrs. Tom Lee, Johnson King.
Hugh Williford and w. T. Clark,
prominent tobacco buyers of this

the South Carolina tobacco markets
this week which opened Tuesday and
are sending back reports regarding
the condition of the weed and the
price thereof.
The concensus of their opinion
seems to be that good tobaccos are
Just as high as last year on the
South Carolina market but that the
primings are about $1,000 lower
than last year. The opening aver
age for the state last year las $26.OO
while this year it was abvLt $14.OC.
While the South Carolina crcop
this year is about the same in quality
as the one last year, the buyers are
of the opinion that more good to-
bacco of the crop came to market
last year at the opening than this and
for that reason the price seems very
much lower.
The good tobaccos as indicated
