ing debt Of fifty million dollars with

OF four million, six hundred and sew
enty-two thousand and six hundred
dollars. The Ford company does not
concern itself about how. the govern
ment shall invest this money and keep
on compounding principal and inter-
est. 1t would take, as he says, a small
army of clerks to keep track Of this
special fund III the Treasury and a
bad investment might cause the gov
ernment to lose both principal and in
terest though it would be possible for
the government to lend the money to
itself and, and-but when one begins
to figure on this one gets so muddled
no end can be seen at all to the pos
sible complications.
1t is a wonderful scheme, however
and Is not unlike that one about get
ting the boys out OF the trenches by
'Stmas.
\,e still insist that the proposition
is best described by saying Ford or
fers to let the government pick black
berries for him on shares, and the ber-
ry patches are all on government land
But still it were better to turn II
over to Henry even on such terms as
he offers than to let the project fall
through or be given away through
political jobbcry to some private con-
Germ as the public fears may yet be
done.
1t seems to us that it would be
cheaper for the government to give
the property "to some private concern
rather than give it to Mr.. Ford with
$5O, ,0O0,0 besides.

under this plan," General Pershing
|said, "the military organizations re-
quired to secure critical leading plac-
es upon the coasts and favorable lines
|of advance upon our land frontiers
can be definitely formed and prepared.
with such initial organization assured,
the additional military units required
for the full prosecution Of a serious
war can be mobilized at once and
brought to full strength without dis
turbance or interruption.
With our territory thus protected
against landings Mn force at the
start, and with the machinery for
further military expansion fully Or
ganized, our fleet will he free to deal
with the hostile naval forces without
concern as to possible invasion"
The plans are practicable, Gen.
Pershing said, "if we can count upon
a reasonable development df the
economical military system sanctioned
by the national defense act"

III 4.
Friends here of Mr.. Carlos r. Nose
ley, formerly of this city but now Of
will be interested in the
that he and j. M. Iim-
merman, another young Spartanburg
business man, have bought the general
agency for the Union Central Life In
surance Company for this state and
will be in charge Of the business after
August lst. MIR. Moseley, who is a
son of MIR. and Mrs. G. ID. Moseley, Of
this city, has had striking success in
the life insurance business for the
lpast few years and his friends pre-
dict that with the advantages Of gen.
eral agency business he will make still
further strides in this line.
The announcement of the business
ideal was carried in The Spartanburg
Il1erald FRIDAY, as follows:
e. ID. Byers, general state agent for
South Carolina for the Union Central
Life Insurance company, has sold the
business to Messrs. G. II. Moseley and
IJ. M. Zimmerman, the change to be-
come effective August t. The new firm
will be known as Moseley and thinner
man, and Mr.. Bycrs will be associated
with the new firm.
Mr. Byers has been connected with
the Union Central company for a
quarter Of century, having been gen
eral agent for the past 16 years. The
agency is one Of the oldest and best
known in the city, and the change
announced yesterday was of general
interest In business circles. Mr. By
ers said his only reason for selling
was to get new blood into the business
so that the company might plan more
active and intensive campaign in this
section
Mr.. Moscley and Mr.. Zimmerman
are two we'll known and popular
young men Of the city, and both have
had successful experience in the insur-
ancc business. Mr.. Zimmerman is a

NUX'URY TAXiES

The errors that Mr.. Lowe, whose
communication is elsewhere in this
paper, falls in is the same that nearly
all advocates Of the luxury taxes fall
in, viz, that luXuries are Of no benefit
to anybody and that to reduce their
sales by taxes will not bring hardships
on some as good and law abiding citi-
Zens as there are anywhere.
Take some of the items which Mr..
Lowe enumerates, cigarettes for in
stance. The Advertiser holds no brief
for the cigarette, but cigarettes are
made from tobacco and tobacco Is a
farm product. 1t is hauled on the
railroads giving employment to work
ing men. 1t is made into cigarettes by
more working men. 1t is freighted
away from the factory again by more
working men. It is sold by working
men and finally handed over the coun-
ter by more working men. Mr.. Lowe
would not say that the tobacco indus
try in this state is not benefitting the
farmers. Nor would he say that the
peach industry is not bencitting the
farmers. nor the celery industry, nor
the cantalouDe industry, nor the as
iparagus industry. nor many other
such industries which are engaged pri-
marily in the growth and sale Of luXu-
Tics. We might go further and take
our cotton mills, which manufacture
the finer grades Of cloth from cotton.
They are manufacturers Of luXuries,
yet they are invaluable to the state
in furnishing employment to their OPP
cratveS and in purchasing the cotton
of the farmers. Reduce the cOnsump-
ton Of Injuries and YOU do either one
OF two things to the farmer, YOU
either take away his employment or
YOU add to his competition, for the man
whose employment is taken away from
him must get into something else,
