NEW JOB FOR HAYS,
THE PRESIDENTS PET.

VIII Hays, before he came spon-
sor for the movie industry, used
to be a general. To be sure it
was only postmaster general, but
general is a general. He has new
been setback and made a colonel
a colonel of reserves. His new ap-
pointment makes him available to
handle the military mails in the
event of war, assuming Of course
that he isn't needed at the same
time by the moving picture in
dustry to protect both males and
females from immoral influences.
Perhaps the next bulletin from
the war department win report the
awarding of a distinguished serv-
ice medal to the Colonel of the
Reserves for unusual bravery I'M
der fire.
1t took some nerve to try to make
the public stand for Fatty Ar
buckle, and even if Bill didn't get
away with it, he showed that he
dared to try.
This new job for Bill is purely
political and one in which the
president is trying to build up his
fast fading hope of being elected
on the ticket next year, though
from present indication it looks as
if his party viii pick Harding for
denomination again.
Hays is some pretender and will
no doubt do his best to make the
public believe his old boss is going
to be reelected whether or no.
His present position with the
movie industry was no doubt Sc
cured for him by the Republican
party with the understanding that
at the proper time he is to return
to politics and try to boost the
fallen hopes of his party.

Old DAYS IN AMERTCUS

/ exhausted and the motherly old
doninecker refuses to resume bust
ness, the artificial method must be re-
lied upon to supply the deficiency. To
this end WI. Wilkes and VIII Dud-
ley have fired up their incubators,
and the old wooden hens are fairly
sizzling.
The largest single sale of cotton
made in Americas in some time was
that Of an even hundred bales yes
terday, owned by j. H. Daniel, one
of Sumter's substantial and success
full planters. The cotton was sold by
Oliver & Cbilders, warehousemen, to
c. j. White at the round price of
8 Pa cents, thus netting Mr. Daniel
very nearly $4,000. This sale re-
duces 'stock" here to about 200

Act limiting immigration by

Act creating twenty-four addi-

JUST WHY ARE WE TO
PAY TEN CENTS FOR SUGAR.

In the language of a Chinese
celebrity, I'VE ask to know just
why sugar should be going up to
ten cents. And many housewives
we know here in Americas will
want to know the same thing.
About the only answer we can
see in sight just now, and we doubt
not that it is the correct answer,
is manipulation and speculation,
pure and simple, for all the .infor-
nation we can gather on the sub
ject is that the blame cannot be
laid to shortage of raw sugar, for
reports continue to come in that
Cuba has made a whaling big crop
100000 tons ahead of year
ago.
Reports have been drifting in
for sometime that Washington was
just about to "probe" this situa-
ton, but like all others it has come
to naught, and we, the dear PEG.
pie, who have the burden to bear,
the ultimate consumer, are still
waiting on Washington interfer-
ence, and we will continue to wait.
There is talk about a big demand
with the advent of spring and all
that sort Of thing, but no real rea-
son for adding to the cost of this
household necessity has ever been
given.
On the other hand, the Savan-
nah press points out that-"Sa-
vannah imports it's share of the
raw product and refines it. New
Orleans and other points do the
same thing and the beet sugar in
dustry is prospecting. But we do
not get any lower prices. Can
ming and preserving this spring
and summer with sugar at ten
cents or more a pound is going to
be an expensive operation"
We have hazarded a guess once
before and we are of the same
opinion. still, that the whisky MAX
ers, the candy makers and the soft
drink folks have already bought up.
their supply dirt cheap and are
boarding much of the sugar that
should rightfully go through the
proper channels for household con-
sumption-burdening the consum-
er with tax which ought to fall
on all alike whether it be the big
interests or the little fellow who
buys only in five or ten pound
lots.
