Sumter Employs Farm
 Demonstration Agent

@ UMTER county has prospered by 9 departing in large degree from the one-crop system. Her cattle and alfalfa are well-known and rank high.
 The Sumter board of revenue has made appropriations for the employ ment of a county farm demonstra- tion agent and selected for that of- flee an expert who has more than made good in Mississippi.
 The unacceptable predicate of all progress is knowledge. The farm demonstration agents of the south have been the forerunners of crop di- versification, pure-bred stock and every other factor tending to i'm provement of agricultural conditions. The salary paid them has been the best investment ever made by the federal government and the southern people.

In many respects they are an admira- ble people. Even in the old days when they showed no respect to the consti- tuted authorities, and were a law unto themselves, they possessed to a high degree such qualities as honesty, hospitality and courage.
 If they extracted the juice of the corn for home consumption and shot down their enemies on sight, they re- garded that as their own affair, and nobody else's business. The stranger among them suffered no harm at their hands, unless he happened to be "reyeruevo

the near future" If there should be war between the United States and Japan, this publication believes Japan would stand alone, as Britain would remain neutral land her dominions might help the United States" There seems to be far more dis cussion of the possibility of war be- tween America and Japan in Europe than there is in America. European nations live in the shadow of war. It is the one topic they are always ready to talk about and their previous experiences justify them in keeping close watch on international de- velopments. With the exception of the Hearst papers, the American press pays little attention to the so-called Japanese menace. Yet, it is obvious that if this country is involved in an- other war, the chances favor a brush with Japan. It can be prevented however, by cooperation between the statesmen of both nations and stern suppression of jingoes, in America as well as in Japan.

Co.nper..tio, for the Soldier.


 If the people that are raising money throughout the country for the stary- Ing people in Europe would exert their influence and lend a helping hand to the adjusted compensation bill that is now up before the House at Washing ton," said R. Wilcox they would be doing or could do a great service to the men that fought for that to which great many of these same people owe their prosperity.
 But instead of doing that they are raising millions to send to people that are no doubt in need of money, but what about the injured soldiers we have all over the United States that are unable to work, with dependents? Surely there ought to be enough loyal ty in these people that can give their time and money, to help their own boys that gave everything to help them, and a great many of the boys are still paying the price, while good American dollars are being sent away"

~ F * < Noted feud Leader
 Dies in West Virginia

7SHE death of Devil Anse" Hat
 H field at his home in West Vir- ginia removed another picturesque figure from American life. Devil Anse" was a man without fear and shot straight. He twas typical of the older generation of mountaineers in the Virginias, Tennessee and Ken lucky who had a strict code of ethics and settled their own disputes with cut going to court.
 The Hatfield Mccoy feud was per- haps the most famous mountain ven detta ever waged in this country. It was fought on both sides with ex- treme bitterness, but the Hatfields seem to have been victorious, as the few surviving members of the Mccoy elan migrated to Kentucky, where they now reside. Devil Anse," who Wfs the target for rifle fire on more than one occasion, made good his boast that be would die in bed. For many years he had lived quietly on his farm.
 In some parts of the south the mountain folk are still primitive, but schools have been established in the very heart of the feud districts, mis- sionaries and school teachers have been hard at work, and the mountain |eers Of today are neither as ignorant |neg at lawless as they used to be.

Tt is a fact just the same ! realize this when I went east re- gently, stopping at points in the Caro- linas. Nowhere did I find conditions anything like they are in Birmingha am and nowhere did I find people as con fident as those of Birmingham seem to be. And not only do we know this, but others know it.

 A N interesting view of the dis A armament problem is taken by L'Ere Nouvelle, Paris, in an editorial wirelessed to the New York World. This publication says America is building warships with the same generous fever" shown in mobilixing the army in 1918. "Everything, there fore" the editorial continues, seems to prove that the American people are envisaging the eventuslity of : new war"
 L'Ere Nouvelle thinks the United States and Great Britain would agree to naval holiday" with the under standing that Great Britain would dominate the Atlantic and the United States the Pacific. AmAriea subscfibes to this doctrine, not because she loves England, but because she wants to concentrate her forces against Japan.

Tuscaloosa to Have
 . Traffic Bureau

7HUSCALOOSA proposes to have a
 U traffic bureau. The transpor- tation committee of the Tuscaloosa Chamber of Commerce has gone so far toward the establishment of the bu- reau as to entertain applications of various experts to manage it.
 Tuscaloosa could take no more for ward step than this. A well-eonducted traffic bureau is great economy, continually active in the interest of each merchant member on the pay ment of one small annual fee. Not only in quoting rates and designat- ing lowest-cost routes of shipment, but in direct recoupment for over charges in freight and express bills, loss in transit and the like, traffic bureau is the equivalent to each mem- Der of a private traffic manager, such as large concerns can afford to hire, but small ones cannot.
 The Birmingham Traffic Bureau has collected $150,0o0 for its clients in the, past year, and that is just one item of it's service. It has caused the suspension of threatened freight advances, secured rate realignments and maintained a general watchful- ness over the shipping problems of the district.
 Tuscaloosa is . Warrior river port and has additional need of a traffic bureau to care for the interests of river traffic.

Obey Law Automn ticaliy

"1f people of Birmingham obeyed the traffic laws with one-tenth the ,unanimity with which Londoners do, there would be no accidents on our broad streets" said Col. E. T. Talia- ferro.
 Tt was going along the Circus in London in front of the Bank of Eng land. More people pass there each day than do any other spot on earth in a like period. One policeman raised his hand. The entire traffic stopped auto maticaily as though frozen to the ground. horses, automobiles, every thing. He blew his whistle and they moved off, the congestion relieved. We will not cease having so many acci- dents in Birmingham until law observ- ance takes on little more of British spontaneity."
