HONORED CITIZEN DEAD.
Charles Ehrhardt Passed Away Sud-
denly at Ehrhardt Saturday.

: Charles Ehrhardta an old, honored
and highly respected citizen of the
little town which bore his venerable
and revered fathers name, passed
away suddenly at his home there Sat
urday night about eight o'clock. Mr..
Ehrhardt had been in rather poor
health for quite a while, but his death
at this time was altogether uneXpect-
ed and greatly deplored by his num-
erous friends throughout this section
and in Ehrhardt where he had re-
sided practically his entire life. He
had been in fine spirits Saturday, ap-
parently feeling possibly better than
usual, and had partaken Of hearty
dinner, but was stricken early in the
evening and succumbed in a very
short time.
Charles Ehrhardt was the Oldest
son of Conrad Ehrhardt, one of the
pioneers of the lower section of Bam-
berg county, then Barnwell. He was
highly regarded in business and So
cially, bore a spotless character and
stainless reputation, and had lived an
exemplary Christian life during the
6S years of his earthly existence, be-
ing a staunch member of the Luther
an church, thus following religiously
in the footsteps Of his lovable par
ents. He had been signally success
full in life and in business, and was
constantly prominent in every phase
of the uplifting activities of Ehr-
hardt and that community which he
loved so we'll and which loved him
in turn.
Mr.. Ehrhardt had been married
twice, first to a Miss Mcmillan, by
whom there survives five children,
Archie, Julius, and Herbert Ehrhardt,
and Mrs. Henry Kinard, all of Ehr-
hardt, and Miss Virgie, who is now
married and lives in Pennsylvania.
There are no children by the second
wife, who is left to mourn his death,
and was also a Miss Mcmillan, of this
county. The deceased also leaves one
sister, Mrs. John F. Folk, of Bam-
berg, and a brother, Henry E. Ehr-
hardt, of Ehrhardt. The funeral and
interment took place at 800 O'Clock
Monday afternoon at the new Ehr-
hardt cemetery in the presence of a
large concourse of sorrowing friends
and relatives.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted by his pastor, Rev. P. D. Ris-
niger, assisted by Rev. D. B. Crosse
close, a former pastor. The church
was filled with friends and relatives,
and the floral offerings were beanti-
full. Uncle Charlie" as he was af-
fectionately called, was respected and
loved by all who knew him. He was
gentle, kind, modest, true friend,
and a Christian gentleman.

Road Repairing.

The continuous dry weather for
many weeks lately has furnished a
fine opportunity for work on the va
rious roads in this section and con-
sequently some good time has been
nut in on them and most of the pub
lie roads in the community are now
in excellent condition and automobile
and buggy travel made much easier
and more convenient than for some
time. 1t has also helped in the work
of grading the Orangeburg highway
for the new road through the Edisto
river swamp three miles north of
Bamberg, and considerable progress
has been made with this.

Mules Come Cheap.

Live stock taken in under mortgage
and sold on the block in Bamberg go
at ridiculously low prices during these
strenuous times, and on some days
pretty fair mules are struck OF to
bidders at from ten to fifteen dollars
a head. On one occasion a Bamberg
citizen is known to have wagered a
mule against a mule on a foot ball
game, and the party betting on the
losing team laughed it off as joke
saying he would gladly deliver the
mule because although he bet the
wrong way he felt that he was the
winner since he wouldn't have to
feed the animal any longer.

Living Costs Less

Prices are getting IN LINE on peace-time
basis-getting back into proper RELATION
SHIP with enc another.
The high prices are being READJUSTED
downward toward whatever the nsw pricelsYel
is to be. i
The movement IS IN FULL SWING. Slowly
but steadily the cost of living has decreased from
It's peak Of last June. Food costs LESS. Clothes
cost LESS. These facts are shown IN the q. s.
Department. of Laboris statistics. The Depart
ment's figures show that the price Of LABOR is
coming down, ALSO
ALL prices are responding 10 an Inevitable
Law which brings with it ORDER, STAB1-
TTY and PROSPERITY.
The adjustment is sound and Of benefit to
ALL 4 reduction In the price Of labor is re-
duction In NAME only.
With all prices declining to a new level, each
dollar buys more than 1t did before. And it's
what dollar viii BUY that Is the FOUNDA-
TION Of our desires
We want money for what It win BUY. IF
It would buy NOTHING, we wouldn't want it at
ALL.
Happiness and satisfaction come through the
attainment of what we desire. II we can still
buy what we WANT, with LESS money, that's
the one important thing after all.

Old Prices Are Gone

Prices win never go back to the old low
levels. There's little chance Of THAT.
New LEVELS Of prices gradually higher
and higher, have been established year after
year from the Civil War f0ward.
But it has been SOUND and ORDERLY

principles-and keeping step with HIGHER
STANDARDS OF LIVING.
We are NOT going back to pre-war levels,
any more than we are going back to Civil War
levels Of prices
But we are going to get INTO LINE with
the sound progress of prices as it has developed
In the many years Of peace and industry :
We are taking the war OUT of prices
We are going to have PEACE-TIAE re-

relationships.

Then came the war with its EMERGENCIES
and turned the world UPSIDE DOWN.
Prices were no EXCEPTION.
They, TOO, were twisted all out of their
previous relationships was the REST of the
world.
Some went very HIGH-others not so high.
Others, still, increased only modestly-an de-

But, prices were TWISTED out of any SEM

Enormous Addition to the Ma
tionaI Income Is Not Real
Wealth Increase.
DUE TO RISE IN PRICES
National Bureau Of Economic Research,
After Exhaustive Study, Makes Pub
lie Figures Showing Variation In
Dollars Purchasing Power.

New York, Oct. 27.-The total ma
tional income of the United States in
1918 was 81 billion dollars, as COM
pared with 34.4 billions in 1913; but
this increase in dollars did not repre-
sent like increase in production. Most
of 1t was due to the rise in prices, for
the dollar of 1918 and 1919 was much
less efficient dollar than that of 1913.
The actual total of commodities pro-
duced increased very little, If at all,
and large part of those which were
produced were war materials, not of
a kind really benefiting consumers.
Consequently, individual incomes,
estimated on per capita basis, rising
from $34O in 1910 and 1854 in 1913,
to 1886 in 1913, represent more dollars
but little or no real increase, because
the $3.50 of 1918 Is equivalent to only
1912 in terms of the purchasing power
of 1913.
These are the most important find
ings of the National Bureau of Eco
nomic Research, made public today
in advance of the formal publication
of the results of a years study of
Income in the United States" This
study, the most exhaustive ever made
of the income question in this country,
has been conducted by Wesley Clair
Mitchell, Willford I. King, Frederick
r. Macaulay and Oswald w. Knauth,
under the auspices and direction Of a
board Of nineteen directors, including
men prominent In many fields of bust
ness, education, labor, agriculture, eco
Monies and practical statistics, and
representing many divergent points of
view.
This table exhibits the main find
ings, including the equivalent value
of per capita income in terms of the
1918 purchasing power:

ture contributes about IL per cent OF
the total, manufacturing about 80 per
cent, transportation about 8 per cent,
government about per cent, mining
little more than per cent, banking
a little over 1 per cent. The many
miscellaneous employments, profess
sional men, retailers, jobbers, mer-
chants, domestics, etc., too numerous
to list specifically, contribute 33 per
cent. In other words, our highly Or
ganized industries, even If we include
all manufacturing, mining, transporta-
ton, banking, and government activi-
ties such as education and road-build-
ing, produce only about half OF the ma
tional income. The rest is due to the
efforts of small independent workers.
Income Tax DISCREPANCIES. Ill
The report estimates that the num-
Der of persons in 1918 having incomes
over $1,000, was 100000, and that
their total income was over % billion
dollars. Income tax returns, however,
showed only 2,908,OO0 persons having
over $4,000, and their total reported
income was less than II billion dol
lars. This discrepancy is due in part
to technical evasions and straight lille
gal withholdings, but also in part to
the existence Of tax-exempt income.
What this means In terms Of the In
come tax Is that the government re-
ceived in 1918 about half billion dol
lars less than it would have, if all
persons receiving $1,000 had paid their
full amount.
Contribution Of Housewives.
The contribution Of the 2O,OOO,OOO
American housewives Is not included
by the bureau in the national income
because they are not paid In money.
But the report points out that If they
were paid at the lowest possible figure
(the average recompense of personal
and domestic service) their addition to
the total national income would be
about one-third, or IS billions. On
that basis, the bureau gives the follow
ing conjectural figure as to the fiuctua-
ton of the housewives contribution
to the national income since 1863:

tional Inc'e Income
Distribution Of Income.

The report says that only one out
Of hundred Il per cent? income re-
ceivers in the United States in 1918
had incomes Of $4,000 or more, and
that this one per cent had IA per cent
of the national income. Five per cent,
representing incomes above $1,000,
had 26 per cent of the total. Ten per
cent, including income above $1,000,
had nearly 35 per cent of the total /;
the most prosperous 20 per cent, in
Guiding income above $1,750, had about
At per cent. Eighty per cent of the
income receivers had incomes below
$1,75O, receiving about SO per cent of
the total income.
Shares of Labor and Capital.
In most Of the years since 1912, the
bureau finds that in the principal or
ganized industries, wages and salaries
were about 20 per cent of the total in
come; while capital Qncluding man
agement) received about 30 per cent,
out of which were paid rent, interest
and profits; but these proportions va
ried materially with relative prosper
ity and depression. In 1916, for ex-
ample, the share of capital increased
to about 35 per cent, with 65 per cent
to labor, while in 1919 capitals share
fell to about % per cent, while labor
got about 70. OF the total payments
to employees in the highly organized
industries, about 90 per cent goes to
the manual workers and clerical stats,
while 8 per cent goes to officials.
Share Of the Farmer.
The farmers, who during the past
decade have made up about 16 per
cent Of the total of gainfully employed,
had from IL to 10 per cent Of the ma
tional income in the years between
1910 and 1916 inclusive; since 1917
they have been receiving 16 to II per
cent or a somewhat higher proper
ton, as the following figures from the
report show:
