BEET SUGAR PRICE

Washington. Nov. ia maximum
wholesale price Of 10 1-2c a pound
for all beet sugars at all points in the
United States was established today
iby the department of justice. This
price was fixed at lengthy confer
ence between Howard Figg. special
assistant to the attorney general, and
i aiding beet sugar refiners. who had
sought =: increase over the present
| price on the grounds that they could
mot make q reasonable profit.
Previously beet sugar prices ranged
frcm 10 cents a pound in most sec
ticns to 10 II cents.
II was said that a general order
would be issued within q week which
would settle the sugar prices and
avoid further misunderstanding.

gar distributing committee to sit in
Chicago TO have complete charge Of

1St for three noEths and possibly 1our

Should this big company winter
here, and there is no reason to doubt
at this time from Mr.. Westermans
statement, and his leasing OF the
Farmers Tobacco Warehouse for win
ter quarters it means that for the flrst
month about two huno- ed snow peo-
ole will be here and for two months
at least 125 people, and for the third
month at least 2S0 show people who
will come back 10 get their shows ana
concessions ready for the 1920 show

1t is estimated that these show peo-

hardware, paint and other building
material houses between twenty and
twenty-five thousand dollars in the
rebuilding and renovation Of their
equipment. and Besides one hundred
people will have to eat, 3uy clothes,

Items From Shiloh.

Our farmer friends many Of them)
,are preparing and planting small
grain, we hope a larger area will be
planted to the profitable and mex
pensive small grain crop. The pota-
to crop is rapidly being harvested
and reports are that the crop is ex-
cellent. Dry seasons must be. the
kind for a good sweet potato crop,
but the very dry fall has in most IN
stances caused the turnip patches to
be bare and it is with regret that we
note this condition.
Our school which opened rather
late (only two weeks ago. seems to
be prosperous and speeding up under
the, successful leadership of Mrs.
Nora J. Warren, and Miss Virginia
Warren, (our assistant teacher),

to see the compulsory law coming
into effect, for while most Of our folks
sent their children to school they
were not careful about, sending them
regularly.

The decision OF tifc Presbyterians
Of South Carolina to launch a cain
paign for s1,000,e00 in the interest of

Will prove to be an impetus to the in
creased activity Of these schools and
will mark q new era in the cause OF
Christian education among Presbyte-
rians especially Of the Palmetto state.
This s1,0OO.OOo campaign fund tor
education will be applied as follows:
so per cent. to the Presbyterian Col
lege at Clinton; 25 per cent. to Chi
cora College, at Columbia; II II per
cent to Columbia Theological Semi
nary at Co1urn bic, and ;12 IL per cent.
to Tho1rwell Orphanagc at Clinton.
Already one contribution Of $780,
GEO has been pledged to the campaign
committee, upon condition that the
s1.000,O00 be raised, Mr.. c. E. Gra-
ham, Of Greenville, having made this
conditional contribution. -
The following named representa-
tives. of the Synod of South Carolina
constitute the campaign committee
for securing this fund. Rev Melton
