THE PASSING OF WINTER.

Cheer up, sad heart, and cease
to groan, or winters breezes
to bemoan; 1t may perchance be
cool today but summer is not
far away.
What If the snow should I'LL the
street or muck and slush be

approaching fast.
And doubtless when the summertime
assaults us and the sun Is prime,
we'll fondly dream of winters
chills and call them anything
but ills.
In fact we're always rather fond
of longing for the days beyond
whatever season may be here we
want some other time OF year.
Cheer up, therefore, and call to
mind that winter soon will slip

will get, when you may sizzle.

The net profits for the month were

BRYAN AT JACKSON
DAY DINNER
THE THREE-TIME CANDIDATE
TAKES DIRECT ISSUE
WITH WILSON.

Washington, January 8.-William
j. Bryan split openly with President
Wilson, at the Jackson Day dinner
here tonight, on the question OF
whether the Democratic party should
make The League of Nations an IS
sue at the next election.
The former secretary OF State,
three times candidate for the pres
idency and a power in his party, de-
clared the Democrats could not go
before the country on the issue and
that they must accept such compro-
mises as may be possible.
Conceding the right of the Repub-
hcan majority to dictate the Senate's
course, Mr.. Bryan declared:
"Our plan has been rejected and
we must face the situation as it is.
We must either secure such compro-
mises as may be, possible or present
the issue to the country. The latter
course would mean a delay OF at
least Ii months and then success on
ly in case of our securing two
thirds majority of the Senate.
eve cannot afford, either as clti-
zens or as members of the party, to
share with the Republican party re-
sponsibility for further delay; we
cannot go before the country on the
issue that such an appeal would pre-
sent. A majority of Congress can
declare war. Shall we make it more
difficult to conclude treaty than 10
enter a war;"
Reviewing the past and surveying
a program for the future. MIR. Bryan
said he ventured to suggest three
new propositions. They were:
A national system of roads, ex-
tending in every state, to be known
as "a national peace way" both as
a utilitarian project for binding the
states together in commerce and in
tercourse, but a memorial as we'll TO
the soldiers dead.
MA national bulletin-not news
uaper, Mr.. Bryan declared-to pres
emit national issues under bipartisan
control.
The initiative and referendum
which he declared the Democratic
party might we'll adopt in its next
great reform"

To Our South Carolina Friends:

To Our South Carolina Friends:
Tobacco continues to sell high in
Kentucky. The desirable types are
bringing as high as $1.00 the pound,
some crop averages run up to $40,
$50 and $50. l can see nothing what
ever that would indicate anything else
but good prices for South Carolina this
year. l have talked with quite a
number of the leading tobacco men
and the general impression is that
the South Carolina crop, if a good one,
will make the best average of any
crop yet sold in the State. There
were several causes existing when the
South Carolina markets started last
season which operated very much
against high prices. Though l am not
willing to concede this, the South Car
DINA crop brought its value accord
ing to the way that North Carolina,
Virginia and Kentucky have sold their
crops. Yet developments accumulat-
ed very rapidly which forced prices
up and the road, I am sure, now IS
clear for much better prices, and it's
nv candid opinion that good prices
will prevail for the next year.
Yours very truly,
J.R. HUTCHINGS.

STAR MOTOR CO.. BURNED
Fire of Unkonwn Origin Broke Out
Sunday Night

The new sheet metal building hous-
ing the Star Motor Co., was burned
Sunday night about half past one
o'clock by fire Of unknown origin
When the flames were first discover
ed they had gained considerable head
way and it was impossible to enter
the building to save any of the con-
tents.
Besides the regular line Of auto ac-
cessories, tires, oil, etc., there were
about dozen automobiles, some new,
stored there or awaiting repair. All
of these were completely consumed.
Hugh NJ. Graham was among the
heavier losers, having three new Nit
chell cars in the shop. When the
value of the cars is taken into con-
sideration it is probable that the loss
will amount to between twenty-five
and thirty thousand dollars, with very
little insurance.
The Star Motor Co. was owned by
B. ]. Cox and w. ]. Kelley and had
been doing a splendid repair business
for some months, having juct recently
moved into this new building. At
this time they are unable to say ex-
actly what their plans for the future
are.-Lake City News.

bear in such style that Bruin was
forced to give up. The calf was Sc

Commenting on the attitude Of the

handy to carry your handkerchief
there, and you can't buy anything
but wood alcohol to put in your flask.

LEAF MORE THAN
TWICE 1918 TOTAL
UNITED STATES SENDS 25.304,.
513 POUNDS ABROAD
IN LAST YEAR.

More than twice as much leaf tobac-
co was exported by the United States
in the year 1919 than in 1918, accord
ing to figures just issued by the De-
partment of Agriculture. The 1919
total was 625,304,513 and the 1918
total 2SS, ,7s1,511.
Inasmuch as Kentucky produces
about one-third of the tobacco grown
in this country, which is the biggest
tobacco producer in the world, these
figures give somewhat of an explana-
ton for the present unprecedented
prices for the leaf in that State. How
ever, there are other important fac
tors connected with the high prices,
including the enormously increased
consumption in this country and the
desire of big companies to encourage
growers to raise more to meet con-
sumption demands.
Great Britain's imports of tobacco
from the United States jumped from
80, ,433, 1895 pounds in 1918 to 276,S53,-
745 in 1919, and furnished most of the
increased exports from this country.
France obtained 97,OSs,976 pounds in
1919 against 73,372,6o1, and Italy's
purchases jumped to 61,GS2,204 from
3S,540,52O. More than twenty-five
countries imported tobacco grown
here.
