CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
SCORES A VICTORY

Lloyd W. Maxwell, accompanied
bv VIM. S. Matthews and T. E. Keltt,
went to Greenwood Tuesday to at
tend the hearings of the state high
way commission. AS result OF this
trip and of previous efforts, the state
highway commissioners have agreed
to come to Newberry on Friday, Au-
gust 13, to look into the road sltua-
ton in this county. Hearings will
begin at the court house at 10
o'clock on the morning OF the 18th.
Every citizen Of Newberry county
who wants to see our roads improved
should show his interest by attend
ing this meeting.
Under the proposed state highway
system, there should be state roads
connecting Newberry with Green
wood, Laurens, Union and Columbia.
Furthermore, as soon as congress ap-
propriates money for federal aid in
bridge building, there should be a
road connecting Newberry and
Winnsboro. If Newberry county
constructs these roads, or furnishes
money for their construction, the
state highway commission will take
them over as part of the state sys-
tenn and maintain them in first class
condition. This plan, if carried out,
will solve the problem of road to
Whitmire, to Chappells, to Little
Mountain and to the line of Laurens
county. Thereafter this county can
use it's road funds for subsidiary
lines, leaving to the state commits
sioners the responsibility of main
tanning the principal highways.
Let us turn out, en- masse, on
Woodrow Wilson's lucky day, Fri
day, the 18th, and prove to the state
officials that we want roads in New
! berry county and will do our part to
get them.

A peculiar feature about the re-
cent cool week in July is the fact
that it was not accompanied by pre-
cipitation as is usually the case when
such cool weather prevails in July,
thus that cool week and the present
degree Of temperature is due to the
absence of normal radiation Of the
suns ray upon the earth--a condi-
ton which has prevailed since the
spring of 1917 and will most probably
prevail yet another year. One of the
effects of the form in which the at
mosphere is vibrating on the surface
of the earth is seen in the rusty
foliage of the forest trees. If the
blackberry be excepted--it usually
sheds it's foliage several times duc-
ing even a normal season-one has
only to observe the effects Of the
non-radiating rays Of the sun upon
the foliage of oak and elm. The
habits Of insects are also affected
strangely by the same solar condi-
tions. The katydid has arrived 4
month ahead of his usual season.
Plants of fiber character like cotton
will eventually be affected seriously
by these conditions-low night tem-
peratures and even cool daytime
weather. The week Of July 1851
has already inflicted great dama:e
upon The cotton arop as compared tc
more favorable condition previous to
that period. Cotton must get its ma.
turity in; stalk during the summe,
months and one day then is equal tc
four days in the fall to bring about
it's normal growth to the fruitage p.-
riod. So. l am holding to my fore
cast Of an, unusually small crop OF
cotton this year.
A storm period of either the grI
or the South Atlantic coast is indl,
Gated during the week in which
August 81 is the: central date. / &c
not make this forecast positive, but
l. would advise people in the coast
section to keep a close lookout TO,
any indication or reports Of tropica.
disturbance in the Caribbean sea, fo,
should such a disturbance occur il
will undoubtedly affect the South A..
lantic coast.
Danger Of local freshets or ove:.

has not yet passed.

WATCH OUT FOR PROFITEERS
ON ARMY BOUGHT GOODS

Washington, July 29.-United
States district attorneys and other
federal agents as we'll as the fair
price commissions have been in
structed by the department of justice
to watch closely for profteering in
the resale by dealers Of the millions
of dollars worth Of canned meat now
being distributed by the war depart

Justice officials said the low price
at which the army was disposing OF
it's surplus would give unscrupulous
dealers an opportunity to take ex-

EDITORIALS,
A GOOD MEASURE TO KILL

1t is proposed now to submit to referendum a
proposition to bond the state for highway SYSTEM
and petitions in course Of preparation to have put
upon the official ballot in November proposition of
making an issue of state bonds for road purposes.
The voters will do well to vote against the meas
ure and kill it, There are several reasons why it
should be DONE First it is in the interest of of
the large counties that have done little nothing to-
ward their local road systems. And the burden will
fall alike upon those counties which have voted bonds
and spent great deal of money to improve local high
ways, which will be a part Of the same system. To
do that would be manifestly unfair.
It was promised at the last meeting of the Ari-
Good Roads Association that the proposition to
issue state bonds which was bruted about already,
should not be adopted But movement to that end
has been started without adoption. Electors should
vote it down. $*-.~sl1 Asf

SHORTAGE
IS DISCLOSED IN
SPECIAL REPORT

Labor shortage averaging approx
mately Is per cent throughout the
state of Georgia is shown by a spe-
cial report made to Governor Dor
sey by H. M. Stanley, commissioner
of commerce and labor. The report
was compiled at the governors re-
quest and on the basis of individual
county in the state.
Exodus of negroes from the coun-
try to the cities and to the northern
states is given as the prime cause of
the present labor situation, while
try in the larger centers is a con-
tributing factor, the report shows.
In some counties the shortage is
reported as high as SO per cent, while
in a few there appear to be no APP
preciable lack of labor supply. The
average condition, however is shown
to be Is per cent shortage of la
Dor for the state as a whole.
During the present session of the
duced at the instance of Commissioner
Stanley and Governor Dorsey placing
stringent regulations on the recruit
ing Of labor by immigration agents foe
industries outside of Georgia. The
present laws are held to be too lax
to meet the emergency demand and
prevent wholesale emigration Of Ia
Dor to other states.
Governor Dorsey is expected to in
clude in his annual message to the
legislature a warning as to the labor
shortage in Georgia and to recon-
mend immediate action by the legis-
latOrs to remedy the situation.
