trying to get the Peace Conference

HIGH PRICES WILL REMAIN

ment of Labor sent out to business
men, bankers and others questions as
to the probable course of future
prices, and the replies received indi-
Gated that high prices will last long

Among the many replies was one
from Mr.. M. L. Raley, cashier of the
Farmers Bank of Ruby. Mr.. Raley
said: "In this section, with prevailing
prices Of cotton, our condition is
about what it was in pre-war times.
That is, we are in about the same con-
dition financially with 3O-cent cotton

IGNORANT CHINA

China, with population Of over
400,0OO,OOO, is one of the most back
ward of all the races upon the earth.
An instance of the gross superstition
of the common people is shown by
incident related by an American trav-
cling in that country. Passengers
on boat on the Yangtze river saw
a man floating with the tide, appar-
emily drowning, with no attempt to
rescue him. Asking why some Of the
natives did not try to save the drown
ing man he was told that "a man
browns because the river god wants
the man. That it would not do to in

WHEN JOB LOST HIS PATIENCE

H. C. Wells, the novelist, has writ
ten a book that is somewhat of a
parody on the book of Job. Mr..
Wells, referring to Jobs Affections,
intimates that he suffered more from
the conversation of his three
"friends" than from anything else.
That man Bildad, the Shuhite, was
the limit, and Eliphaz and Zophar
were trial. Job told them the truth
when he said they were miserable
comforters." And he used this fine
sarcasm on his three friends: "No
doubt ye are the people and wisdom
will die with you" He further rubs
it in by saying "They have me in de-
rision whose fathers would have dis
dained to have set with the dogs of
my flock"
Mr.. Wells idea as to the three
friends of Job is not very far wrong.

LITTLE HOPE LEFT
FOR BEER AND WINE

All attempts of the friends of beer
and light wines to have legislation en-
acted in their favor have failed so far.
1t begins to look as if the program of
the prohibition party will be carried
out on schedule time, in spite of all
efforts to modify or to delay it.
Certain defeat for efforts to have
Congress exempt beer and wine from
operation of the wartime prohibition
law was seen in an overwhelming vote
SO to IL in the Senate last week a.
gainst an exemption proposal.
BY that margin the Senate tabled
d motion by Senator Phelan, Demo-
crat, of California, to add a rider to
the agricultural appropriation bill for
application of the wartime prohi-
bition law to distilled spirits alone.
The sentiment of the Senate thus ex-
pressed in the first test vote of this
Congress was taken to sound
the death knell for measures designed
to permit use Of beer and wines under
the wartime legislation.

TO OUR HEROES
(The author of the following poem is
well known in Chesterfield County,

We raise the massive stone and on it
carve
Your names in reverence.
Weplant young trees along lovely
drive
In awed remembrance.
We rear lofty building, stately,
grand,
To serve humanity.
Commemorate with fount or pleasant
park
Your strong fidelity
And yet how cold the heavy stone
appears
How futile CLEANS the road to yearn-
ing needs;
How soon the trees must die,
And the stately building appear worn
and old
The fount seem commonplace.
All, what material symbol could we
find
Our emotions TO embrace
And tell to you, our heroes, all we
feel
Of gratitude, and pride,
Of grief that threatened to o'erwhelm
For those who died.
Or the yearning love that welled
within US
To see you give
Your strength, your youth, your all
That we might live.
What we feel can never live in SYM
bols
For the world to see
But inscribed in our immortal hearts
will live
Throughout eternity.

DAYLIGHT SAVING
MEETS ITS DOOM

When the clocks are set back to
the old time next October, they will
not be set up again, Congress having
adopted measures to that effect.
The house after three hours debate
by vote of 233 to 132, passed bill
to repeal the law on the last Sunday
In October, but rejected an amend
ment to make the repeal effective at
once.
The senate by vote of Sc to 6
after brief discussion, added a rider
to the agricultural appropriation bill
which it passed providing repeal of
tie cayli"ht measure or the same
date fixed by the house bill.
The senate measure now goes to
| conference with the agricultural bill
and the house bill is to be sent to the
senate. 1t is considered likely that
the senate amendment will be finally
substituted for the house measure.
| Action of congress therefore means
continuation of the present closing
time this summer and early fall with
return to. sun time October 26, end
| ing two years operation of the day
light saving plan.
Members of both senate and house,
in advocating repeal Of the law enact
ed March 10, 1918, said they were
guided largely by wishes of farmers
F, and laboring men who oppose the ad-
| vanced working hours during the
spring and summer seasons. Oppo-
nents of the repeal legislation declar-
| ed the extra daylight was boon to
city dwellers and asserted that others
easily could adjust their affairs to
conform to the advanced clock
schedule.
In spite of the decision of Congress
to strike from the salute books a
measure adopted in time of war there
will be nothing to prevent individuals
or large concerns from voluntarily
continuing in force the daylight-sav-
| ing system during certain months Of
the year, where they find it to their
advantage.
Local conditions will vary. In many
industries and occupations by general
| agreement the hour for starting the
| days work will be advanced in the
/ spring, while in others the practice
of former years will be adhered to
from force of habit. The uniform
ity established by law will disappear,
but beyond doubt the effect of the
experiment that has been tried will
be seen in growing disposition to
save daylight from personal choice.

A PLEASANT PROSPECT

The government has 100000 tons
of nitrate that was to be used in
blowing the Germans off the earth
that will now be turned over to the
farmers to raise more corn and cot
ton. This nitrate will be construc-
tive instead of destructive-will be
used on peaceful fields instead of bat
tlefields. South Carolina can use
any amount Of this kind of ammuni-
ton.

farmers will gain a substantial VIC

SALVATION ARMY WILL
RUN kICKLESS SALOONS

The saloons will not all go out Of

he will not remove the glittering mir
rors the sturdy bars and the other
accourtements. The contemplated
new saloons will sell only temperance
drinks, but the bartenders will re-
main, of course, says the Major.
"Most of the bartenders are fine

a strong opinion against liquor and
We hive no doubt they would be will
ing to help work out the temperance
idea. My idea of a neighborhood
temperance saloon would be place
half restaurant and half saloon, with
a meeting hall above.
"Thc barroom taken over should
preferably have an established Glen
tele, so we can step in July and con-
tinuc the business. We want to make
our restaurants place for family
gatherings. Usually the wife stays
at home in the evenings and cooks,
the children run along the streets and
the husband goes to the saloon. If
the nejghborhood Temperance saloon
can get them all out together, we
shall have accomplished our purpose"
''Lo"d knows what will become of
the man with craving for drink af-
ter July l." says Col. William A. Nc
lntyrc Of the Salvation Army. "The
man with Il powerful yearning for
drink will require the closest sort of
attention. For him the kickless sa-
loon will hold no attraction. The man
Who drinks to forget his troubles is
in the same fix. Same way with the
man who drinks to put uncongeniel
home life from his mind. By far the
greatest number of frcqucntcrs of the
saloon arc the men with natural
