DISMAL WELCOME
TO PRINCE WALES.

London, Dec. London has new
or witnessed a more dismal welcome
than that which the Prince Of Wales
received this afternoon On his return
from the four months tour of Can
ada and the United States.
1 The city was at pitch dark as in a
moonless, starless night, and this IN
the absence of fog. The setting al
Victoria station, as the princes tram
rolled in, was suitable for funeral
rather than for the return OF Britalns
"hero prince." King George, VINO was
at the station, commented on TINS as
highly unfortunate
The prince was greeted by Premier
LLOYD George and large company OF
notables. King George, Queen Mary,
Queen Alexandra, the queen of Nor
way. Princess Mary and Prince Henry
then Joined him. Queen Alexandra
was all in purple. She welcomed the
nrince warmly and is tonight celebrat-
ing her seventy-fifth birthday Win
him and the rest Of the royal tamliS
at Buckingham palace.
The prince shot out of the train
with characteristic vim, his race
wrapped in smiles. He kissed as. Ths nls
father. mother and grandmother. The
king and his heir then inspected .ta tne
Guard of honor drawn up at the s.a
tion whereupon began the procession
in state.
Although London presented more
dismal appearance that ever before
on a similar occasion, crowds throng'
ed the streets and gave the returning
prince a royal welcome. The line OF
the procession was only half an hour
long. The darkness of the city, com.
.bined with driving rain, failed 70
dampen the ardor OF those VINO VINO, oar mnu
turned out to see it, and the royal car, r.
riages were open. AS the procession
passed whitehall, the darkness liftea q
for a few moments and this eiicteo
redoubled cheers from the CROWDS.

COTTON GOODS WORRYING
HOUSEWIVES.

Housewives in Dillon have had II
brought home to them that the price
of cotton goods is exceedingly high
This is due to the price at which cot
ton Is selling, and the following Ia
BILE will be of interest.
The low and high record selling
prices for cotton during the last six
years were:
1913-Low 1920; high lee.
1914-Low &c; high lie.
1915-Low 3.:ac; high 1S.45c.
1916-Low 1..75c; high .7c.
1917-Low 1870; high 35c.
1918-Low Csc; high $500.
The largest worlds cotton cror
was 23,S36O00 bales in 1914. The
largest U. S. crop was .16,13S,42f
bales in 1912; smallest 1882, in
1892.
The 1918 U. S. crop. 11,63O,653
bales. was the smallest since 1910
which was 1O,6O9,6 ,66S bales.
Cotton today is selling for much
lower price than it died after and
during the civil war. In 1864 the low
est price was CSC; the high $1.S9.

gone into effect again and the order
of the fuel administrator will be in
force until the coal strike is over.
Merchants cannot use oil lamps. The
Officials have ruled that candles and
kerosene cannot be used. No reason
was given for this ruling, and many
merchants are at loss to understand
why they cannot light their stores in
this manner, but the ruling has been
made and it must be complied with.

d. A. r. Mountain School for Girls

In the extreme northwestern cor
ner of our state, near the town OF
Walhalla, is a school for mountain
girls. This school, Tamassee, is sup
ported by the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution of South Carolina
and is maintained for the sole pur-
pose of giving poor girls who are
worthy and who are desirous of an
education, an opportunity to attend
school at small cost. These girls bring
farm products with which they pay
their expenses.
South Carolina has the distinction
of being the only state in the union
which has school supported by the
Daughters of the American Revolu,
ton.
The school building is new-in fact
it is not yet complete, but stands, as
some one has expressed it, "hulled
in" waiting for friends to make il
more livable.
1t needs so many things to make
it home like for these girls, who are
struggling for an education and who
are battling against ignorance.
A night school was also conducted
during last summer for adult pupils.
A Sunday school was afforded them
and a neighborhood "sing'' once a
week.
Two teachers of ability and eXper-
ience are employed.
The grounds have been laid off by
a landscape gardner from Clemson
College, who has given his services.
Fruit trees, grape vines and strawber-
ry plants have been given by nurser-
les The girls will be taught to can
fruits and vegetables, to care for
chickens, pigs, cows, to cultivate, gar
dens. care for bees, and in fact every
thing in connection with home. A
house mother is employed. A drive
for Tamasseee is on during this week,
Let every friend of the D. A. R. So
ciety who feels that these girls are
worth the price make some contribu-
tion toward the school.
One may become a founder by pay
ing 500 in four annual installments
This can be done in memory of some
friend or in honor of some member
of your home. No subscription is toe
small to be appreciated.

SEES BREAKUP OF
INDUSTRIAL LIFE

London, Nov. 25-The pessimism
by many of the ablest thinkers OF
Europe was voiced in an amazing ad-
dress By the Very Rev. VIM. Ralpn
LUCE. dean of st. Paul's in which he
declared that the main cause of the
worlds unrest today was not poverty
but a natural detestation of Industrial
labor under existing conditions. AS a
result he suggested the great cities
may sooner or later be deserted in a
general movement Of mankind back
to the soil, resembling in degree a
return to the dark ages. The noted
clergy said:
II think the opinion is growing
among thoughtful people that the So
cial order of western civilization has
received mortal wound by the war
do not mean by this that the leading
nations are decadent, but their social
order has been ruined.
at is certain that the wealth and
credit of the great powers can never
be re established in our life time. The
powers could not for a generation
embark upon another European war,
no matter how great the provocation
might be
"But. besides, the war had preci-
pitated two movements already far
advanced before there began decay
of representative government the
ballot box of democracy-the mass of
the town populations is dissatisfied
with the conditions of urban indus
trial life.
1--WE are faced by a terrible dilem-
mat looks as If the whole indus
trial civilization in based on a mis-
take a mistake about human ma
ture, the one thing we cannot alter.
"If this is right, then nothing will
end the social discomfort except a de-
struction of the great cities indus
tries. 1t is surely plain that the 10th
century will be the most difficult and
most dangerous time since the down
fall of the Roman empire.
eve are confronted with three ap-
parently insoluble problems-econo-
mic political and social. Failure to
solve any of the three may plunge us
back into the dark ages. This must
be an age of prolonged tension, an
xiety and intense suffering. Probably
it will be an age Of bitter passions
and terrible crimes"

NO PETROLEUM IN 8. G.
State Geologist Says ALI Searches
Are Useless.

That South Carolina has no petro-
leum in it's rock beds and prospect
ors who are investing their money
digging oil wells in the state are
throwing their money to the winds,
is the opinion of Stephen Taber,
state geologist and head Of the de-
partment of geology at the Universi-
ty of South Carolina says the Colum-
bia State:
Prospecting for~oii has been carri-
ed on in several parts of the state in
the past few months, among these
places being Marlboro county and
Johns Island, Charleston, and in
most of these cases results have
shown that there is no oil, the state
geologist says South Cardinals
rock strata are not the oil producing
kind, especially the rock beds in Pied
mont section. "Oil has never been
found in old, crystalline rocks such as
the gneisses and schists which occur
throughout the Piedmont section of
the state, and, from what geologists
have learned concerning the origin
and accumulation of oil in rocks 1t Is
hopeless to search for oil In these
formations" Professor Taber says.
"The coastal plain rocks furnish
suitable beds for the occurrence Of
petroleum and its products, but no
evidence that would indicate its
presence, even in small quantities,
has as yet been discovered, in spite
of the fact that these formations
have been prospected at many points
in drilling artesian wells" Professor
Taber says. due tothe demand for
gasoline and >other products along
with the ever diminishing supply in
the United States there is now a
boom in prosecuting in all parts Of
the country which is giving unscru-
pulous promoters of stocks chance
it, dispose Of worthless holdings for
fancy prices" the state geologist
further says, Moreover, many indi-
viduals who have no knowledge Of
the geology and occurrence Of oil,
are searching for the product in
places where there is little or no
likelihood of finding it."
"The surface evidences of the
presence of petroleum which are
most easily noted by the average lay
man are the seepage of oil or natur-
al gas and the presence of petroleum
or bituminous material in outcrops
of sand; but other substances are
very frequently mistaken for oil. For
example, an irridescent film consist
ing of oxides of iron, which often
forms on the surface of water that
is allowed to stand, is the most COM
mon cause for reporting the pres
ence of oil in South Carolina Pro-
fessor Taber continued.
There are valuable mineral re-
sources in the state which should be
developed to a greater degree than
is being done al present, but oil is
not one of them. If more money
were spent in developing our lays,
marls, grants, etc., instead of vast
ing it in oil speculation, the indus
trial advancement of the state would
be more rapid"

WILSON FARMERS SET
GOOD EXAMPLE.
Pooled Their Tobacco Patronage and
Cleaned Up $4,000 Profit
Last Year.

Lumberton Robesonian.
A Wilson special to the Green's
boro News says that the Wilson coun-
ty farmers Union, at their regular
monthly meeting the other day, au-
thorized the executive committee to
employ a whole-time organizer and
business agent, at sufficient salary
to permit him to devote his time to
the work of organizing and promoting
cooperative farm organizations, be-
lieving that a remedy for the high
cost of living lies largely in the loose
methods of doing business without
regard to the cost of buying and sell
ing farm supplies.
Quoting further from the dispatch:
"The Wilson union is the pioneer
farm organization, which four years
ago pooled its tobacco patronage and
has since paid with this patronage
$4,000 for half interest in one of
the leading tobacco warehouses here
received last year dividend of SO
per cent, or $4,000 in cool cash, and
is looking for a larger dividend this
year, which is already assured
when the other North Carolina
farmer organizations recognize their
patronage as an asset and capitalize
it for profit, it is declared, they too
may draw dividends and reap that
which is now lost to others. The
Macedonian cry is organization for
the individual only, when communi-
ty interests receive their proper
share"
