FALSE ECONOMY.

Bamberg has for several years ap-
propriated money for the mainten-
ance of the home demonstration
work in this county. We understand
that this has cost the county six
hundred dollars a year, but now that
the county is asked for the first time
to help pay the salary of the county
demonstration agent, it appears like
1y that the appropriation will not be
made. The government pays the
county agent s1,50o year. Out of
this sum he has to pay all his ex-
penses. I'm order to cover the county
he has to provide himself with an
automobile, and the cost of mainte-
nance of the car and the cost of
operation, Mr.. Briggs tells us, is at
least six hundred dollars year. This
leaves 5000 per year. The cheapest
car THAT can be bought costs about
$500. Unless his salary is supple
mented he will have the munifcen,
sum of 5000 left for his first years
salary. If the county gives him the
$500 asked, he will have 81 900 left.
If Mr.. Briggs did not have a genuine
desire to remain in Bamberg county,
he would not accept the work even
at this price.
The objection has been made that
this would give Mr.. Briggs a better
salary than some of the county off,
GERS. We cannot consider that this
is any reason why the appropriation
should be denied the county demon
stration work If any of the county
officers are underpaid, it is within
the power OF the delegation and in
it's discretion to increase these sala-
ries.
Let this be remembered: In the
county demonstration, Bamberg is
receiving the services of man who
graduated from college, and who has
received training in scientific and
practical farming. If anybody knows
any good reason why a college man
should waste his time working for
less than some day laborers in Bam-
berg are receiving, we would like to
know their methods of reasoning.
Bamberg is especially fortunate, in
our opinion, in having Mr.. Briggs in
our county. He and Mrs. Briggs are
an addition to the community. He is
a hard working, CONSCIENTIOUS young
man. He does his work in a thor
ough manner, as the farmers of Bam-
berg county will attest. He is worth
every cent of his salary to the coun-
ty, he does not have to stay in Bam-
berg, and he has never even limited
his desire for US to say anything in
lis behalf. And what we have said
is not said in his behalf; it is said in
behalf of the farming interests Of
Bamberg county.

AMERICA WILL
 GET TRADE IN so. AMERICA

LONDON, Feb. 26 Correspondence of the Associated Press).-Jorge A. Mitre, editor of La Nacion, of Buenos Aires, gave Great Britain some ad- vice concerning the extension of its trade in South America while speak ing at dinner of journalists and pub lie men the other day.
 "It may be matter of some con- cern to you," said MT. Mitre, "that Great Britain, with the control of roads, railways and waterways in Ar gentina, has an inferior position to other countries in the market. Take, for instance, the case of agricultural machinery. In that line the United States are ahead of you because the American has made himself familiar with the needs and the fancies of the farmers.
 "The South American people during the next few years will have money to spend. There is worldwide de, mand for food, ours is food exporting country, and prices are likely to be favorable to the. producer. We shall want to buy not only locomotives, ploughs and other machinery, but motor cars, cutlery, plate, furniture, jewelry and finished leather goods Who is going to supply us with these things?
 "One of the best instruments you can use in shaping your South Ameri- can policy during the remaking of the world is the British communities al ready established in the South Ameri can countries. In addition you must send out your travellers properly equipped. They must speak our Ian guage. All the efforts of British manufacturers to meet the require. ments of South American markets will fail to be fruitful so long as your commercial travellers are ignorant of Spanish.
 "Then there is the fresh flow ot capital to South America. I under stand that for some time there will be restriction on the export of British capital to foreign countries, in order that tfe rate of exchange may be i'm proved. It is the exchange of goods ti.at makes prosperity and not bal ances."

BIG WOLF PELT IS
 EXHIBITED AT CIRCLE

The pelt of gigantic wolf that was recently killed in the Circle eoun- try Is said to measure eleven feet from tip to tip.
 According to the report the big wolf was killed by a trapper named Michael de Michel. He was out on his trap line about ten miles from his cabin with two dogs and a sled. He saw a pack of wolves some distance away from him but paid no particular atten- tion then. A little later he noticed that they had approached closer to him and were making an effort to sur round him and his team. Unhftching his dogs in the screen of bunch of brush, he sent them on home and him. self climbed a tree. Within short time the wolves had the tree sur rounded, which was to the trapper's game. He succeeded in killing three out of the pack, the big fellow among them. But couple more remained, and one of, them was wounded Get ting down from the tree, he skinned his catch and went on home.

ALASKAPULP
 MILLS OFFER
 OPPORTUNITY

The Seattle Railway and Marine News is publishing series of articles setting forth New Trade Opportuni- ties of the Pacific" The article in the series appearing in the current number of the magazine is devoted to the chances for the paper and pulp business. Concerning Alaskas offer ing to the opportunities for the devel- opment of this industry on the Pacific coast it says:
 'In this connection we can visualize that vast coast line of Alaska, all the way from Dixons entrance to Cook inlet, two-thirds of the distance being an inside passage, both shores being covered right to the waters edge with class of Sitka spruce which is al most wholly worthless as marketable timber, but all of which is good for the manufacture of wood pulp, as it is the same identical timber from which the British Columbia pulp is ground. That it has never been utilized is due to the almost criminal negligence of those responsible for handling the af- fairs of the United States forestry bu- reau, dating from the time when Gif- ford Pinchot succeeded in his bane- full work of placing a valuation on Alaska's growing timber based upon it's worth as marketable lumber, when every person possessing knowledge of the country knows that it has no commercial value except as wood pulp. Yet with that vast tonnage of United States wood pulp available, and whose many we'll protected harbors and in- lets and unlimited water power offer ing the grandest opportunity for the successful development of pulp and paper mills, we are still importing mill lions of dollars worth of wood pulp. Even the leading daily paper of Ju- neau, Alaska, printed in locality sur rounded by thousands of acres of tim Der available for pulp, gets its supply of print paper from across the line in Canada"

CONFIDENCE IN RED CIRCLE

Jacob Stein, executive committee man of the Fayetteville, N. C., war camp community service, recently spent a short time in Washington, D. c. While he was at the Union station soldier asked him to look after his two hand bags.
 The soldier then disappeared and was gone for half an hour. MT. Stein wondered that such trust should have been put in him. So when the soldier returned he asked:
 "Why did you take chances of leav. ing your bags this way to complete stranger?" The soldier answered, pointing to the Red Cross button on MT. Stein's coat: T knew they would be safe with you wearing that pin.''

CERMANSMUS!T' BE EXPELLED
 FR0MBELCIUM

BRUSSELS, Feb. 26 (Correspond- ence of the Associated Press) De spite the passing of law providing for the expulsion of enemy subjects from Belgium, numerous German civ ilians are often seen walking the streets of this city and other large cities in Belgium at the present time. While the law went into effect more than a month ago, the Belgian govern ment is experiencing as much diff culty in getting the enemy civilians out of the country as the allied sol diers had in expelling the enemy army from the trenches.
 The minister of justice has found the undertaking greater one than he had expected. In the Belgium cham bor yesterday Deputy Lemonnier, who acted at burgomaster of Brussels dur ing the enforced absence of Burgo- master Max in Prussian jail and until he was removed himself to Germany, asked Minister of Justice Vandervelde what measures he intended taking to expedite the undesirables beyond the Rhine. Deputy Lemonnier brought the minister's attention to the fact that several Germans were walking the streets of Brussels with impunity and that some of them had been recog- nized as being paid agents of the Kommandantur during the occupation.
 Vandervelde replied: "The min- ister of justice is doing it's utmost to rid the country of German civilians, but the difficulties encountered are formidable. In times of peace unde- sirables are escorted to their frontier, but since the signing of the armistice the allied general staff refused abso- lutely to allow Germans to pass through the zone of occupation. Hol- land permits them to go through the country but not singly. Groups only are allowed in transit. At the present time one train of undesirables is leav ing daily. Beginning February 23rd two trains leave for Holland daily carrying an average of twelve hun dred Germans every day from Bel gium." .
 An idea of the number of Germans in Belgium before the war and the still greater number who have elected to make it during the occupation what they thought would be thetr perlman- ent living place, may be gathered from the fact that trains are expected to leave for weeks and perhaps for months.
 The case of German subjects who have resided in Belgium for long years have married Belgium women and whose sons have fought against the Germans is particularly sad. Under the terms of the law they should be expelled along with the others, as they have remained enemy subjects. Vandervelde said, how everr: "It is impossible for me to send that class of Germans out of the conntry"
