Low Down Prosteering.-The prac-

ruling made by John Manget, chair
man of the Atlanta fair price" COM
mittee. Such practice has resulted
in grand jury indictments in other
cities. Mr. Manget noted in his state
ment, made public last Friday, but
he added that in his opinion lit will
not hurt any consumer and it is the
only just way | see to relieve the stu
alton and avoid boarding. The fair
price chairman added, however, that
one merchant had been reported as
making a customer buy two dollars
worth of other merchandise in order
10 get a pound of sugar and that nu-
merous other merchants had been re-
ported as forcing customers in order to
get sugar to pay advanced prices on
other articles on which the price had
not been fixed.
"i regard this as the meanest kind
of profiteering," he said.

INVASION OF WEEVlL
Cotton Pest Has Now Reached Eastern
North Carolina.


North Carolina.
On October Is the boil weevil was
found in Columbus county, in extreme
southern North Carolina, by govern
rfefIt entor1oIoeist' Since then the pest
has been found in New Hanover coun-
ty, a considerable distance to the east.
The weather since has been warm, and
the weevil has probably advanced still
farther. Thus in one year this great
cotton pest has practically crossed the
state of South Carolina and establish
ed itself in North Carolina, the last of
the important cotton growing states to
be invaded.
II is of course impossible to say how
mach damage the weevil will do in the
Carolinas. However, judging from the
experiences Of other sections with
similar climate conditions, it appears
proba BILE that damage will be very
heavy in the immediate coastal sec
tions, gradually decreasing to the
nortEwestward toward the mountains.
In the CoStal Pain areas OF DOth STATES
cottongrowers may in wet years, parti-
calarly following mild winters, expect
severe losses. The Piedmont country,
because of it's colder winters, probably
never will suffer as much as the Coastal
Plain country. All parts Of the Caro-
linaS have wetter summers than the
parts of Cotton Belt in the same lati-
tude to the west. and this will be a
factor in the weevils favor.
This greatest insect pest of all time
is now in every cotton producing state
of Importance, and it is difficult to see
how cotton production is to be ma
terially increased unless a more eff
fective remedy than is at present
known is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

late World War, young Good says: We
are constantly hearing about their new
rights from both races. We do not
discredit what they did on the other
hand we admire what they did. But
they fought to save their homes from
the outside aggressor as we did, they
are protected by the same flag that we
are. Why then should their partici-
patton in the war bring such change?
Because / bunked with a millionaire,
and drank coffee from the same cup, l
have no right to come home and pro-
claim to the world that l deserve by
rights of participation in the war to
be a millionaire. Neither has the COL
ored man necessarily risen in equality
because Of his participation"
Why Not Women Also?
Rather manly militant miss who
holds a responsible position in York
vile and who displays an executive
ability that would do credit to any
of her brethren which ability might be
shown were they in the same line OF
work. and who is one of the brightest
among York county workers in the
cause for woman suffrage was speak
ing on the subject the other day. She
asked: Isn't il true that mans
success in business depends not only
on himself but on the men he helps
elect to office? Isn't it true that
housekeeping is woman's business and
that her success depends not only on
herself but on the way her town is
governed? Isn't it true that the control
of food, air. light, water, health, edu-
cation, morals and all living conditions
are today in the hands Of the officials
of the town? Isn't it true that 1t is
only common justice and common sense
to let the women in the home share in
electing the men on whom the comfort
of the home depends? Isn't it true that
q man does not neglect his business be-
cause he votes, and that woman Will
not neglect her home because she
votes? Isn't it true that the happiness
of a home does not depend on the Wo-
man always being in it, but on the kind
of woman she is? Isn't 1t true that in
the right kind of home both the mans
and the woman's points of view are
needed?"

their wages do not go up every time
bacon and beans take a fight. Right
now with everything flying skyward
they are strictly up against it; that is,
those of them who have no other in

mail carriers. They have to feed and
take care Of their horses out of their
respective salaries, you know, and
those who use automobiles instead are
in just as bad shape. l know it is

BY Jas. ID. Grist.
Today is the first anniversary of n
big event in the history of my young
life and the lives of some several ode
hundred other fellows who are now
hunting happy usefulness in this
county OF York in various and sundry
ways. Today is the first anniversary
Of the signing of the armistice with
Germany-the end of actual physical
fighting with the Hun. I'll never for
get this day year ago if / should
live to be as old as the town OF
Yorkyille and | haven't the slightest
desire TO stay here that long. Neither
will the hundreds of other York
county youngsters, scores Of whom
have directed my attention to the an
niversary Gas If that were necessary
in the last day or two. / can't say
about the situation overseas because
didn't get over there; but judging
from what happened at Camp Sewer
which wasn't any different from any
other camp or cantonment in the
country the day that Germany an
nounced she was down and out, mark
ed the day the American army at home
come because. Of any exhaustion
through superior staying power of the
enemy: but because some several hun
dred thousand American boys having
gone to war and determined to use
their respective abilities to their ut
most in defeating an alliance which
was calculated to knock the dickens
ont of everything that was, simply
came to Il realization of the fact that
there was nothing more TO do eXcep,
get back home and make arrange

What military discipline there was i?
the Twentieth Division then stationed
at Camp Sewer and which was all Sc,
to go across as well as in several
thousand men, members Sef% different
camp organizations, went to the
douse that day.
News Spread Rapidly.
Word that Fritz had ceased crept
into camp early that morning last
November. Every officer and every
enlisted man knew it by eight o'clock
and that was going some because
many things of considerable import
ance happened in that old camp that
were never known by more than a
dozen people. Foreseeing trouble and
plenty Of it, the commanding officer o.
the camp issued an order that day
that no enlisted men and very few OF"
ficers were to have leave off. The C..

and his motorcycle orderies and

Room for Argument.

YCrkville man was approached by
solicitor for a church cause the other
day and after relieving himself of S25
for the cause he said: You know l
sometimes wonder about this matter OF
giving. 1t is good to give, all of the
various causes for which donations
are sought are worthy causes; but in
the case Of an individual l sometimes
wonder where the stopping place is to
be. / have in mind a case that occurr-
ed in York county some time ago. The
family in question is very poor fnan-
cially. Likewise it is very rich spiritu-
ally, so far as giving what 1t has is
concerned. Some years ago the church
OF which the mother of that family is
connected had on a drive for some pur-
pose or the other. The mother pledged
to give to the church one-tenth of the
family income. That was fine and
noble. At the time the mother made
that gift l was paying the rent on the
roof that covered the heads of that
family. l had been doing it two years.
And | just can't help but wonder if
the Lord wanted that family to give
one-tenth of all its income as the
mother of the family did?"
