over 10000 men a month, but for sew
eral months we were sending over
only 10000, One-third of the pro-
gramme Why? Not because we didn't
have the men ready, not even because
we did not have the means of trans
portation,. but because-and there is
no criticism of the French govern
ment involved in this-because the
ports assigned to us for landing
couldn't take care of the supplies we
had to send over We had to send
materials and engineers, and workmen
even, over to build the docks and piers
that would be adequate to handle the
number of men we sent over, because
this was happening: We began with
the 10000 programme and the result
was that cargo ships we needed were
lying in those ports for several weeks
together without being unloaded, as
there was no means of unloading
them. There is still this diff
ficulty, which | am afraid there is no
means of overcoming rapidly, that the
railroad communication between those
ports and the fronts is inadequate to
handle very large bodies of men =
Now we believe that inasmuch as
the impedimentS on the other side
are being largely removed we can go
ahead with theoriginal programme
and add to it as the British can spare
us the tonnage, and they are going
to spare us the tonnage for the pur-
pose.
The preparation made in France
for the. arrival of the American Expe-
dictionary Forces was a prodigious
achievement. 1t was necessary to
build piers, docks, warehouses and
hundreds of miles of railroads. 1t was
not long after President Wilson's
confidential speech to. the CORES
pondents at the White House that
American troops were sent abroad in
American and British transports not
at the rate of 5000 but 10000 day.
No such feat was ever performed by
any other army, and except for the
work of the engineers and advance
forces. it would never have been pos
sible to rush 100000 American troops
a month to France and assemble and
maintain there the huge army that
went overseas.-World

his home. Ford himself has II fac
tories in small Michigan towns where
he has found it possible to develop
power and they are making parts for
his automobiles. The workers in
these factories are granted lay-offs to
dig their potatoes or harvest their
wheat. Henry Ford seems to realize
that crops grow while the farmer
sleeps or works in a factory.
He promises to put the South on
the map" if the government will sell
him the Mussel Shoals plant. He will
wiring every possible horsepower out
of the Shoals, no matter how many
plants it will run. He will establish
the plants and set a million men
at work. He will extract nitrates
from the air and make fertilizers
cheaper; he will establish great
aluminium plant for the extraction of
the metal, to be supplemented by 9TH
ers for its manufacture into machine
ry and other things of use. He will
have textile mills where southern cot
ton will be spun and woven into cloth.
In short he will furnish the South
and the whole nation a great object
lesson in the use of the enormous
waterpower that now goes to waste,
and has gone that way for a thou
sand years. 1t is grand and glor-
ious conception that does not seem
to be beyond the possibilities of a
man with sufficient vision and wealth
to carry it through. Henry Ford has
both, and we believe he can put it
over if any man in America can. At
any rate we should be glad to see him
try it. Secretary Weeks still has his
offer under consideration, and it is
believed he will accept it provided
Ford will consent to the government
limitations.-Tampa Times.

ANSWER

AS Sumter became part of the goth
senatorial district as a help to Ma
rion seeking no political advantage
for herself; as she stood Loyalty by
us when we needed her aid, now that
she asks our aid this paper thinks
that we should do to her as she did
to us, and it proposes to stand firm

THE REACTION HAS BEGUN


November 8th was an important
day--it disclosed pronounced re-
action against the Republican party.
1t was tidal in the sense that It seem
ed to indicate a nationwide dissatis-
faction with the Republican party. 1t
manifested itself in Virginia, Ken
lucky, Maryland and New York. 1t
probably would have been still more
pronounced if the elections had in
cluded the states of the northwest.
The Democrats of the Senate and
House have done excellently; they
are few in number but their protest
against the reactionary leadership
of the Republican party has made it.

Hon. Frank Harris, Ocala. Fla.
My dear Mr.. Harris:
am writing to you from the fact
that you are an editor and, like all
newspaper men, am sure you are a
genuine bureau of information.
What would like to know is this:
Are you disposed to continue the cour-
tesy that has been shown Sumter
county in the past? BY alternating as
to the State Senator, according to the
rule in the past, it would be Sumter's
turn. | am of the opinion that in the
session of 1923 we will have reappor-
tionment / am sure it will come in
the near future Ii SO, AS citizen of
this county, | am interested as to
where we will land in the event reap
portionment does prevail
There are some counties tnat |
would very much dislike to see Sum
ter placed in as to a senatorial dis
trfct. For this reason | would like to
see Sumter county man in the SEN
ate in '23.
/ will certainly appreciate reply
and would also be more than glad if
you would write something on this
line for your paper as feeler.
With highest personal regards,
/ am respectfully,
N. j. WICKER.

said that the president was attempt

A GLORIOUS BEGINNING

At the opening session the Amsr;..-

audacity both surprised and stunnos

The proposal Of our government n

nations of the world to suspend con-
struction of capital ships for ten yea,s
and to scrap many existing warboan
of major type!
Surely this proposal was an eu.

HENRY FoRD,s GRAND coNcEP
TloN

NJ
Isenry Ford has some grand plans
for the upbuilding of the South, and
benefiting the entire nation, provid-
ed the government accepts his offer
for tie Mussel Shoals plant, and the
people somehow have faith that he
will make them materialize. He says
in recent interview that the country
has been sleeping too long over the
wondrous reservoirs of power that lie
neglected in our rivers. He instances
the Mississippi with 400 foot fall
between st. Louis and New Orleans,
and not a single dam in the whole
distance, where there should be at
least a dozen. He shows how it could
be done without impeding navigation
or overfiowing valuable ,lands He
tells of a little stream crossing his
farm in Dearborn, on which he has
nine dams, and from which he takes
between 800 and 400 horsepower,
lighting and heating his home and
buildings, with surplus which goes
to his Dearborn factory.
He further says that so per cent.
of the present day farmers work is
unnecessary. He predicts that the
farmer of the very near future will
divide mis- time among three occu-
pations. He will give 20 days in each
year to his farm, five or ten days to
marketing his produce, and the bal
ance to industry or factory work near

by so doing they would insure living
