AND THIS is NORMALCY

Budget experts, according to press
dispatches from Washington forecast
for the next fiscal year treasury def
icit of approximately one million dol
lars. ''Ihe President and his advis-
ers," it is added, ARE considering a
recommendation Of new tax propos-
als to Congress"
If this Is normal.:y, make the most
of it. The ditlcit for the current fis-
cal year was reckoned by Secretary
Mellon, some months ago, at six hun
dred and fifty million dollars. By
one means or another this yawn;nS
chasm between prospective revenues
and disbursements up to June the
thirtieth next must be bridged; and
whatever the method, there is but one
source from which the material viii.
come-the pockets of the people.
But six hundred and fifty million
is not all, if the Administration ex-
perts are right. On this Ossa is to
be Piled Pelion of billion-dollar
deficiency for 1923-24-and again
the people must shoulder it, burdened
though they already are. Such is
the fulfillment of the economy and
tax-reduction pledges by which Re-
publican Congress and executive were
elected two years ago.-ktlanta Jour

Washington, Nov. 20.-Upon the

tional Headquarters of the American
Red Cross. Greece either will be a
sepulchre or a place of rebirth for
these stricken people, whose desper-
ate plight is further depicted in a
cablegram received by the Red Cross
from Vice Chairman A. Ross Hill who
is directing relief work from Athens.
King George of Greece, through
DR.. Hill, sent thanks to the Red Cross
for it's aid and expressed the appre-
citation of his nation to the American

perfecting its organization in Greece,
said DR.. Hills message, which went to
the state:
Hundreds of thousands of refu-

mothers with children who, with old
people, are sole remnants of once
flourishing populations driven into
the sea by the Turks. These miser-
able women, cold, hungry, despair

babies clinging to their skirts. In

lost sons and husbands gaze from

children are the only hostages for the

COOPERATIVE SELLING
COTTON GAINS IN FAVOR

Columbia, Nov. 20.-The continued
onward sweep of cooperative market
ing in the state is indicated, officials
of the South Carolina Cotton Grow
crs' Cooperative Association said yes
teray, by the large number Of new
contracts coming i'm daily. Over one
hundred new contracts have been re-
ceived in the past week and the num-
Der of new members is being swelled
every day.
There is no campaign on at the pres
ent time and practically all of the
contracts that are coming in are vol
untary and officials say are the result
of the satisfaction with the way the
association is functioning. Credit
is being given the Association
generally for the strength of the cot
ton market and the present prices of
cotton.
One Of the large contracts to come
in during the past week was from J.
Z. Williams of McConellsville, York
County. Mr.. Williams signed the
contract this week and has turned
over several hundred bales of cotton.
Yesterday letter was received from
him, stating that a number of other
farmers in his section were ready to
sign. Letters from Marion brought
the news that quite number of grow
ers in that county were ready to af-
fix their signatures to the contract.

"STUPIDEST BOOK OF THE
CENTURY"

1t would seem that enough had been
said and written about the ex-Kaiser
but he manages, since he has quit Kill
ling people, to keep himself in the
public eye. His latest stunt was to
get married to Princess Herminie. AL
though an exile from his former home
and kingdom he persuaded her to
share his lot.
But in addition to getting married
William Hohenzollern has written
the memoirs of his life, telling what
a good, generous, self-sacrificing soul
he was while starting a war that has
caused MILLIONS to mourn.
Joseph Collins, in the New York
Times, reviews the Kaiser's Mentors
and he does an artistic job of it. Mr..
Collins lived in Germany several years
and was not dependent upon the Men,
iors for details of the public and pri-
vate life of the ex-Emperor of Ger
many. That he claimed to
be devinely appointed by the
Lord to do, His will is shown
from extracts from his speeches to
his soldiers. In one of them he says
Remember that the spirit of the
Lord has descended upon Inc because
l am the German Emperor. am
the instrument of the Most High. l
am His sword, His representative" !"
in another speech he said: Perish
all enemies of the German people.
God requires their destruc'lrn, G.nd.
who through my mouth commands
you to execute my will"
Summing up the book Mr.. Collins
says:
Kaiser WilhelmII. has made him
self immortal, first, by his infamy,
second by his stupidity. He commit
ed the greatest crime ever known: he
conditioned and fostered the war; and
he has written the stupidest book of
the twentieth century. By doing the
latter he has cleared himself Of the
accusation of lunacy, but he has laid
himself open to have substituted for
1T that of imbecility"

CHESTERFIELD REDS

The visit of Judge Gard and other
chicken enthusiasts to Chesterfield
will no doubt prove of immense val
ue to this county. They-for they
all agreed with the Judge in
his estimate of the situation
here - have shown to Chester
field better than it could have been
learned otherwise that in one respect
at least this county is premier.
We have developed here a wonder
full strain of Rhode Island Red chick
ems that can hardly be surpassed in
the United States.
Two statements made by Judge Card
in the presence of this editor are GER
tainly worthy of repeating, and
should stick fast in the mind of every
poultry raiser in the county.
One is: Don't go out of the coun-
ty to buy your Reds. There are better
ones right under your nose than you
can get elsewhere"
The other statment is: "You have
the stuff to make the name Chester
field Reds as famous as Chesterfield
Cigarettes"
Need more be said?
Let those who have Imagination
and determination take hold Of these
potential thoughts and carry them to
their complete fulfillment.

MEANING OF THE NOVEMBER
ELECTIONS

The results of the November cleo
tions have caused the editors of lead
ing Republican newspapers to "sit
up and take notice"
Instead of trying to explain that it
was not much of a shower, these edi-
tors are forced to see in the elections
a threatening deluge. They have
had to admit that the shortcomings Of
the Republican party have been re-
sponsible for the tidal wave of No
vember 7th. They name the UNEQUAL
tariff measure, Newberryism, (where
a member was admitted to the SEN
ate who had paid $195,OOO for his
seat) as two of the outstanding sins
of the party. The St. Louis Post Dis
patch says:
1.-The tariff of denominations
must be revised downward with the
plunder of the tariff barons who die
tated its robber provisions eliminated.
The subsidy program must be aban-
doned. No more Newberryism The
disgrace of the Newberry verdict
must be wiped out by the reopening
OF the Newberry case and the unseat-
ing of Newberry.
In Indiana, there was a good turn
over, by the election of Senator Raj
ston over former Senator Beveridge
and the Indianapolis News, right in
center of the storm says:
at is evident that the people voted
their disapproval of congress, if not
Of the administration. There is a
serious warning for the Republicans
in the elections, in that what hap
pened after the passage of the Nc
Kinley and Payne -Aldrich tariff bills
had happened again. Everywhere was |
revolt against the oppressive tariff, |
and it was a protest that will grow
stronger as people feel more and more
It's burden"

bidding farewell to grief, by laying
