South Carolina Imported Sill
100000 of Food From the
West,

Columbia, March 13.-South Car
olinians imported Sill, 100000 worth
of food and foodstuffs from the West
last year according to figures COM
piled by the committee on banking,
legislation and warehousing of the
South Carolina division of the Ameri-
can Cotton Association: The importa-
tion of this enormous amount of food
stuffs into the state was made neces-
sary by the eagerness of the farmers
to raise cotton, many of them plant
ing seventeen acres to the plow.
In statement issued yesterday
the association declared that there
was no reason for the farmers of the
state to be panic-stricken over the
fact that price which cotton is now
bringing forbids them planting over
a half crop of it next year. 1t is de-
clared that study of the figures col
lected by the committee on banking,
legislation and warehouses of the as
sociation ought to convince them that
a diversifcation of crops in South
Carolina will prove profitable.
According to the committee state
ment the importation of food and
foodstuffs into South Carolina from
the West last year as follows:
Corn, $4,000, 1000; mixed feeds,
$13,OOO,OoO; hay $12,Ooo,OOO; oats,
s1o,Ooo,ooo; flour, s2O,OoO,O 900; beef
SIS, 5,OO0,Ooo; bacon, s2O,OO0,OOO;
eggs and butter, s3,OOO,OOO; canned
goods, s13,ooO,OOO, making grand
total of Sill, 100000.
"These figures" says the associa-
tion, "are purchases from this state
only and every item must be paid
for in cash before the goods are de-
livered, together with the freight.
This amount could be spent at home
if the farmers Of South Carolina
would get their minds off of cotton
for a few minutes"

If no one is responsible, and,
therefore; the situation can not be
remedied, government supervision,
ownership, is apparently inevitable.
Congress looks with disfavor on the
suggestion. The Plumb plan, under
which the government would buy the
railroads, permit labor and capital
to operate them, and enjoy the re-
turns without the necessity of making
up deficits, has no friend in congress
brave enough publicly to announce
his affection for the scheme.
And, despite the fact that govern
ment ownership is more and more
discussed as the remedy, it is certain
that it will not be attempted prior
to the exhaustion of every other re-
source. 1t is very probable that in
hope of relief, congress will permit
the reduction in the number of trunk
lines; will, in other words, permit
the efficient organizations to absorb
the inefficient and unremunerative.
At any rate, the railroad problem
is the one big problem confronting
the government. 1t promises to re-

Young Rockefeller on Selection
of Wife.

New York, March 13.-"Every
man should be exceedingly careful in
the selection of his wife," John D..
Rockefeller, Jr., today told the mems
Bible Class of the Fifth Avenue Bap-
tist church. He used as his text the
story of Samson and how he went to
the Philistines for a wife.
"Too many young men and wo-
men," said Mr.. Rockefeller, "look up
on marriage as mere adventure to
last for a day or two. They are at
tracted by their mutual personal
charms and blindly go into relation
intended to last lifetime without
having learned whether or not their
common attributes render such a
companionship possible.
SIN too many cases the result is
disaster, scandal and the breaking up
of a home.
ga man should be careful about
the differences of race, religion and
even nationality. The differing ideals
might not assimilate readily and dis
sentions must follow. It is necessary
to consider all the varied elements
entering into marriage relations. :"
Mr.. Rockefeller took occasion to
score the man who, living an out
ward moral life, insisted that his pri-
vate affairs must not be scrutinized.
TNo mans life," he declared, "is
private. A man taking such stand
makes grave mistake regarding the
service he owes to mankind"

The Railroad Situation.

The Railroad Situation. .
The railroad situation is proving a
problem-and looming up daily as a
greater problem. All sides of it are
being discussed-that is, it is being
discussed from all angles. One view
of it is given in the Manufacturers
Record, which paper says:
"High freight rates are killing
business, and low freight rates, under
present conditions, would kill the
railroads. Nominally, the railroads
have been returned to private con-
troll, but as matter of fact, they are
not being operated by their owners,
except in name. They are still under
the complete domination of the rail-
road unions, installed in this position
by the government. From beginning
to end government management of
railroads was rotten to the core. The
government permitted the establish
ment of system by which the en-
ployes practically dictate the manage
ment of the roads.
"Every farmer, merchant and man
ufacturer who sees the effect of the
high freight rates which now must
be paid should realize that he is per-
sonally responsible for this crime
against business to the extent that
he permitted the government to turn
the railroads over to the railroad en-
ployes. Officers of railroads have lit
tie or no control over their manage
ment. They are not real managers.
They are merely the puppets played
upon by railroad employees. So long
as the employees can, under govern
ment direction, absolutely dominate
the management of railroads, lower
freight rates and passenger rates are
an impossibility.
Railroads, loaded as they are
with government extravaganza and
government ineficiency and govern
ment permission to railroad unions
to run every detail of the railroad
business, are headed down the road
to ruin unless change takes place.
"The ruination of the railroads
would only intensity the inadequacy
of transportation facilities.
eff railroads should be turned back
to government control, conditions
would be ten times worse. We would
simply have the mistakes and the in
efficiency and higher rates intensified.
Every well-wisher of the country,
every man who ships a pound of
freight, every man whose business is
hampered by railroad impoverish-
ment and railroad inefficiency, may
we'll pray to be delivered from gov
ernment ownership, or government
control, or the control of railroad
brotherhoods.
without a repeal of the Adamson
Law, and all other unwise legislation
which takes the control of railroads
out of teh hands of their owners and
puts is into the hands of incompetent
and radical railroad-union men, a
more and more desperate transpor-
tation condition is inevitable.
sUntil the country comes to full
realization of this situation and fore
es repeal of the unwise railroad leg
islation, put through by socialistic
administration, dominated by rank,
radical labor unions, we can have no
safety for business of any kind

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

1t is the serious diseases that colds
lead to that makes them dangerous.
They prepare the system for the re-
ception and development of the germs
of influenza, pneumonia, tuberculosis,
dyphtheria, scarlet fever, whooping
cough and measles. You are much
more likely to contract these diseases
when you have a cold. For that rea-
son you should get rid of every cold
as quickly as possible. Chamberlain's
