COST OF BUILDING NEXT YEAR

The investor who is going to put
his money into buildings does not
want to build now and to continue
to bald throughout the Winter
vhic'l climatic conditions in the
Southeast make possible-if by wait
ing a few months, say uLtil next
Spring, he can build cheaper than
now.
If, On the other hand, tae cost If
building may be higher next Spring,
or if it will not be any lower, he
wants to build now and to continue
to build.
The investors opinion with regard
to these questions will have a very
important bearing upon immediate
building operations in the Southeast.
The great majority of building ma
Iterial dealers and building contrac-
tors in the Southeast do not believe
that prices of building materials will
be any lower next Spring. Many of
them think the prices will be con-
siderably higher, and still more of
them believe there will be some ad- !
vance.
These beliefs are based upon the
immutable operations of the law of
supply and demand.
In every city and practically in
every town in the Southeast there is
an acute shortage of residences and ,
apartments and need of more bust
ness buildings. This shortage isl the
result of two things. The suspension !
of building for two years and more
because of war conditions and the ex-
pansion in this section. The cry of
more houses is very general through
out the Southeast. Unquestionably !
this demand is going to be met ~
quickly as possible. In fact, in many
towns and cities, plans are underway
for beginning to meet it..
Thus will be created an unusual de-
mand for building materials.
And to this domestic demand must
be added the demand that is bound
ito come from devastated countries of
Europe, which by next Spring will
begin rebuilding. In a way this de-
mand already has begun, as is dem
onstrated by the exports Of lumber.
In the East and Middle West build
ing operations must be suspended in
the late Fall and in the Winter. They
can be continued right along in the
Southeast. With the cessation of the
demand for building materials in
other parts of this country, the
Southeast will find its opportunity to
secure materials for continuing con-
struction in the Winter, before the
Spring demand from other parts of
this country and from Europe be-
gins.
These are facts of the situation
that will have the consideration of
the intending builder.-Industrial In

this is about how it happened: Our

Shortly before our train moved

the north by reason. The vane is
likely to point in any direction.
But our good wishes goes out to

Beekeepers, Attention!

Clemson College, Sept. 3O.-The
Extension Service is now revising it's
mailing list of beekeepers. All bee
keepers who receive a card are re-
quested to fiji in the blank spaces and
return if interested; otherwise, it is
assumed they are no longer interest
ed and their names will be dropped
from the list. Others interested are
requested to send their names. This
is necessary at this time, as the cam
paign for the outdoor wintering of
bees is now being prepared.

Kemper Denies Rumor
That Soldiers Pay Is to
Be Cut to SIS Monthly

a rumor that four months after the
armistice the pay of private in the
United States Army would revert TO
Sl5 per month was brought to the
attention of Colonel James b. kem-
per. in charge of the Harrisburg Re
cruiting District, with headquarters
at 325 Market street, this city. The
Colonel issued the following state
mcnt:
"There is not a word of truth in
the rumor. An Act of Congress fixed
the present rate of pay of soldiers,
and before there can be the slightest
change in this rate it will be neces-
sary for Congress to pass a new law.
The pay of a private in his original
enlistment is $50 per month, board,
lodging, clothing, medical and dental
attention furnished gratis, and so
far as any information that mas
reached this office is concerned, or
has come to us from the newspapers
or what we have been told, there is
not the slightest disposition on the
mart of Congress to decrease the rate
of pay in any way. In view of the
real desire on the part of those in
authority that men shall enlist and
re-enlist in the army, the rumor is
of great harm and should be strongly
contradicted."
Enlistments for every branch of
the service, everywhere, are still
omen. the Colonel added. and infor-
nation will be freely furnished con-
cerning rates of pay, etc, to anyone
applying at any of the recruiting
stations in the district.

churches or societies have been es-
tablished over the world, forty one
cities each containing two churches
or societies, and twenty-four other
cities each containing from three to
eighteen churches or societies. AT
the Wednesday evening meeting held
in these churches and societies over
ten thousand people each week pub
licly and voluntarily bear grateful
testimony to the healing and regena-
tive benefits they have received
through Christian Science.
There is little difference of opin-
ion about the fact that mortals need
a clearer way and a truer point or
view. All agree that the world seems
to be about as full to-day as ever
of sin and fear, hatred and Jeal-
ousy, impurity and disease, vanity
and selfishness, and that calamlties'
tumults, and wars have not substan-
TALLY decreased up to the present
hour.
Surely intelligent people do not
any longer believe that God is the
cause of human discord and surfer
ing, any more than they believe that
the principle of mathematics is the
cause of the failures of pupllS 10
understand and prove it's unchanglnS
rules.
Gaining an understanding OF
spirit and the omnipotent power of
spiritual laws, and an understanding
of the false nature of matter ana OF
mortal mind and material laws, the
seeker is armed successfully to cope
with any human discord. 1t is theh
surprising that he should presume
TO attempt to heal disease as well as
sin. What is disease that 1t should
elude the minister and be assigned
to the physician, and what Is SIN
that it should defy the physician ana
be allotted to the minister? FROM
whence originated both? From Goa
No. neither the one more than the
other. Jesus identical handling OF
sin and disease should long ago have
convinced the world that they nave
an identical source.
THE operation of Christian Sci
ence in healing disease and over
coming sin is the action of the dl-
vine Mind, God, the Principle and
power of the universe through good
thoughts, that is, thoughts which, ad-
hitting that they have action and
power, are equally good for every
thing and everybody in creation.
These thoughts come to human be-
ing through the study of Christian
Science, and reveal this divine power
which is omnipotent, and make this
divine power available in proportion
as it is understood and accepted by
means of such thoughts.
Heaven is not a region nor a To-
cality to be entered physically, but
it is a state of purified conscience,
state of spiritual understanding, a
salvation from sin, sickness and
death"
